  A visual feast of 49 weird, wonderful and architecturally astounding swimming pools from around the world.
  This book is a sumptuous celebration of swimming pools as playgrounds of pioneering design and architectural excess. Banish memories of crowded leisure centres and sun lounger-clad lidos, these are pools designed for pleasure, not purpose. Swimming pools are no longer simply places to swim, they are versatile sites of activity and excess. They can be vital lifelines providing communities with safe access to water, domestic symbols of affluence, and the avant-garde spectacle of hotel developers.
  Naina Gupta uncovers some of the most spectacular swimming pools from around the world, including Berthold Lubetkin's modernist Penguin Pool at London Zoo, the world's largest infinity pool at Marina Bay Sands, Ricardo Bofill's blood-red garden pool in Spain, and London's unparalleled Sky Pool. Extraordinary Pools also includes 4 extended essays on various aspects of pool culture, such as the use of empty swimming pools in California by skateboarders. 
  Illustrated throughout with awe-inspiring colour photography, Extraordinary Pools is a mosaic of exceptional public and private pools, reasserting the protean quality of the swimming pool as a space of activity, pleasure and excess.

  On the Lukmanier route to Italy in the Swiss Alps, in the village of Flims, stands the 17th century Schlössli, the former residence of the wealthy and influential Johann Gaudenz von Capol (1641–1723). With its stucco work by artists from Valle Mesolcina and Southern Germany, stoves from Winterthur and the Lake Constance region, a panelled parlour – possibly by a southern German master, and a panel from Eger, the building unites prevailing influences from allover Europe. The architectural monument is an excellent example of how open and internationally oriented the inhabitants were even1883, first to Berlin and later to the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, where it is still located and called ‹Swiss Room›, as wellas the conversion of the residential house into the town hall of Flims – also exemplifies a chapter of Swiss art and cultural history.

  Self-Sabotage - And Other Ways...

  “Jeffery takes us on a wild—sometimes shocking—and always funny romp.”—Andy Cohen 
  ""Excellent . . . Self is a very clever writer . . . and there’s never a dull moment in his captivating, extremely well-written stories that will have readers hoping for more.""—Booklist (starred review) 
  In the vein of works by Gary Janetti and Danny Pellegrino, an honest, funny, and heartfelt memoir-in-essays about chasing your dreams, making big messes, and finding yourself along the way. 
  In in his debut book for adults, Jeffery Self invites readers into his world, taking them through the usual foibles of gay adolescence, amplified in the vast wasteland of the American South and the odd characters who peopled it, from shoddy community theater productions to underage drinking with Broadway stars, from downtown comedy rooms to adventure-filled bedrooms. Along the way, he shares his experiences of acting in TV and film, touring live comedy around the world, getting booed off gay cruise ships, a tenure in the “oldest profession,” meeting his heroes, falling in love, getting his heart broken, breaking other people’s hearts, being hated, hating himself, and on the best of days, finding stuff to like about himself, too. 
  Self-Sabotage is a deeply personal and intimate exploration of Self’s life, filled with humor, heartache, and a hearty dose of bipolar disorder. It asks the profound question of how you become the person you want to be when so much of yourself is a secret—and how you learn to accept yourself when it’s not. It is also, of course, side-splittingly funny.
