The Art of Cigar Band

Philippe Mesmer

Sinossi

Cigar-bands have sdorned cigars for more than 150 years. Until World War I they were produced and printed to the hightest quality using the best methods available, with the result that many cigar-bands of the time are genuine works of art. Images depicted on the bands are varied, but specific themes may be distinguished – flowers and foliage, for example, or heraldic ‘charges’, or of course portraits of contemporary rulers and celebrities. This book features nearly 1,800 cigar-bands drawn from the collection of Roger van Reeth, including some of the most beautiful, some of the rarest and some of the oldest. Their presence adds something special to what is already a special publication: the Flavour, perhaps, of a superb Havana cigar.

Auguste Renoir

Patrick Baude

Pierre-Auguste Renoir (1841-1919) is one of the most famous French impressionist painters. Influenced in his early works by Raphael, and creator of more than 6,000 paintings, Renoir gave more importance to the human figure than to the landscape. His works, enriched by a palette that was exclusive and unique to the artist, show us life in Paris at the time. His greatest masterpiece remains the Bal du Moulin de la Galette.

urban Geography and Land Use -...

Lyric Vale

Cities are fundamentally exercises in spatial organization—complex arrangements of human activity, physical infrastructure, and natural systems that collectively define how metropolitan regions function, evolve, and adapt. The geographic logic of urban environments—how different uses are distributed, how resources are allocated, and how communities develop within specific physical contexts—represents one of the most profound expressions of human social organization and values. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate domains of Urban Geography, Urban Land Use, and Community Development—examining how spatial patterns emerge, how they reflect deeper social and economic forces, and how they ultimately shape the lived experiences of urban inhabitants. 
The narrative of urban spatial organization is far more than a technical study of land allocation; it encompasses the dynamic interactions between physical geography, economic systems, social forces, and political decisions that collectively determine the form and function of our cities. By examining the complex mechanisms that drive urban spatial development—from market dynamics and zoning regulations to community activism and cultural preferences—this book illuminates how cities represent physical manifestations of our collective choices, priorities, and power structures. Readers will journey through diverse urban landscapes—from the historic patterns of concentric development to the fragmented geographies of postindustrial cities and the emerging forms of sustainable urbanism—while exploring how community development initiatives seek to reshape urban spaces to better serve human needs.
