    A smooth ride through the golden age of car travel, looking at both its cultural and architectural impact on the world.
    The culture of road travel and the road trip is arguably best reflected in the stationary spots found along the way. Christopher Beanland journeys through these built environments the world over, whose sole purpose is to cater to cars and those who drive them, and examines what makes them so alluring.
    Illustrated with 65 stunning photographs, Architecture For Cars explores everything from the brutalist fashions of listed UK petrol stations to the quirky and colourful drive-thrus found across the US. If you're interested in the autobahn churches of Germany, why Ed Ruscha felt drawn to painting gas stations, or you just enjoy the aesthetics of car-centric architecture across the globe, this book is for you.
    Also included are essays on wider topics such as roadside signs, drive-in malls and retail parks, cars on film, and roads that never were. This latest architectural deep-dive from Christopher Beanland focuses mainly on the 20th century, with an additional optimistic look towards the future: hopefully an electric vehicle-led existence will herald a new, greener 'golden age' for cars.

    The Lighthouse Cat: A Tale of Light, Courage, and the Sea 
     In a quiet lighthouse perched on a storm-tossed cliff, where the waves crash and the winds whisper forgotten stories, lives a small but fearless feline named Nixie. Guardian of the lantern and silent watcher of the tides, Nixie isn’t just any cat—she holds a secret as old as the sea itself. 
    When a fierce tempest threatens to swallow a nearby village and the lighthouse keeper goes missing, it’s up to Nixie to brave the storm. Guided by instinct, memory, and the flickering flame of the beacon above, she embarks on a heart-pounding journey across treacherous rocks, haunted shores, and crashing waves. 
    Blending the charm of classic animal tales with the lyrical beauty of maritime folklore, The Lighthouse Cat is a timeless story of courage in the face of darkness, the enduring power of light, and the mysterious bond between the sea and those who call it home. 
    Perfect for readers young and old, this is a tale that will warm hearts, stir imaginations, and remind us all that even the smallest among us can shine the brightest light.

    An ironically upbeat book that asks some of today's most inimitable musicians which song they would choose to be the last one they ever hear 
     
     
      
    If you could choose the last song you'd hear before you died, what would it be and why? Your favorite song of all time? Perhaps the one you danced to at your wedding? The song from that time you got super stoned and just let the chords speak to you? It's a hard question that Mike Ayers has thought about for years. 
     
     
      
    In One Last Song, Ayers invites thirty musicians to consider what song they would each want to accompany them to those pearly white gates. Weaving together their explanations with evocative illustrations and poignant interludes—what your song to die to says about you, what songs famous people have died to, and more. The book offers insight into the minds of famous artists and provides an entry point for considering how integral music is to our own personal narratives.

    Jean Strouse's Family Romance: John Singer Sargent and the Wertheimers looks at twelve portraits of one English family painted by the expatriate American artist at the height of his career—and at the intersections of all these lives with the sparkle and strife of the Edwardian age. 
     
     
     
    In commissioning this grand series of paintings, Asher Wertheimer, an eminent London art dealer of German-Jewish descent, became Sargent's greatest private patron and close friend. The Wertheimers worked with Rothschilds and royals, plutocrats and dukes—as did Sargent. Asher left most of his Sargent portraits to the National Gallery in London, a gift that elicited censure as well as praise: it was a new thing for a family of Jews to appear alongside the Anglo-Saxon aristocrats and dignitaries painted by earlier masters. 
     
     
     
    Strouse's account, set primarily in England around the turn of the twentieth century, takes in the declining fortunes of the British aristocracy and the dramatic rise of new power and wealth on both sides of the Atlantic. It travels back through hundreds of years to the Habsburg court in Vienna and forward to fascist Italy in the 1930s. Its depictions of Sargent, his sitters, their friendships and circles, and the portraits themselves light up a period that saw tumultuous social change and the birth of the modern art market.
