For over two decades, Eric Oliver has transformed the way thousands of students at the University of Chicago understand themselves. Now, in How to Know Your Self, he invites readers into that same profound journey of discovery. 

Weaving together recent breakthroughs in physics, neuroscience, and psychology with the enduring wisdom of ancient philosophy, Oliver unpacks the most profound questions at the heart of human experience: what exactly is this thing we call a "self," and how can we make it work better? With clarity, humor, and insight, he leads readers on a delightful tour of the unseen forces that shape our thoughts, feelings, and very sense of being. 

Offering something more enduring than simple self-help or life-hacking, How to Know Your Self fundamentally transforms our understanding of what it means to be a person.

How To Know Your Self

The first publication dedicated to the house of Chanel and its creations as reported in Vogue, featuring iconic illustrations and photography from throughout the magazine's history and across its international editions. Vogue talent-spotted the work of a young Gabrielle Chanel as early as the 1910s and continued to report on the designer through the decades, from her seminal 'little black dress' to the most luxurious haute couture creations. From 1983, Karl Lagerfeld's re-imagining of the brand also found pride of place in the lauded magazine, inspiring some of the world's greatest stylists and photographers across the international editions of Vogue. Chanel in Vogue includes two volumes: the first volume is dedicated to the era of Gabrielle Chanel, and the second focuses on the work of her successors, Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard, and up to the present day. This beautifully produced publication gathers together the inspirational editorials dreamt up by world-famous fashion illustrators and photographers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from Edward Steichen, Horst P. Horst, George Hoyningen-Huene, Irving Penn and Helmut Newton, to Peter Lindbergh, Ellen von Unwerth, Annie Leibovitz, Steven Meisel and many more. Featuring iconic images as well as lesser-known photography and illustration, this book is a trove of stunning visual material, granting readers unparalleled access to the more than a century's worth of fashion imagery. Published as two volumes in a slipcase, this high-end, large-format package is the definitive book on the fashion of Chanel as seen through the pages of the world's most influential fashion magazine.

Featuring Travilla's original sketches, rare costume test shots, dress patterns, stills and photographs of Marilyn wearing the dresses, plus exclusive and never-before-seen extracts from interviews with Travilla, this swoonworthy book offers a fresh insight into the golden age of Hollywood and one of the most famous actresses of all time. Marking Marilyn's centenary, this breathtaking book features over 200 images of the Hollywood goddess and the clothes she wore.

Joss Marsh's stirring book traces the international phenomenon that is cinema's Dickens obsession, from its origins in Dickens's celebrity, through Dickens impact on the pioneers, first masters, and later innovators of the cinema and his enmeshment in the complex of technologies and cultural formations that made up the world of late-Victorian fantasy - from the photograph to the magic lantern, from celebrity to time travel.

As Joss Marsh observes in her stirring book on Dickens and cinema, Dickens was the first mass-mediated photographic celebrity of the modern era, more intimately "familiar" than any person in Britain besides the royal family. Suggesting Dickens's celebrity, as much as his work, contributed to the international phenomenon that is cinema's Dickens obsession, Marsh begins with  J. J. E. Mayall's famous celebrity portraits to trace Dickens's impact on the pioneers, first masters, and later innovators of the cinema. At the same time, Marsh uncovers a larger issue: to understand Dickens's place in cinema is to understand his enmeshment in the whole complex of technologies and cultural formations that made up the world of late-Victorian fantasy-from the photograph to the magic lantern, from celebrity to time travel.  Each of the six chapters unfolds a century-long cultural story that maps the Dickensian points of inspiration in the history of cinema. Marsh's cinematic geography of Dickensland transports the reader from Dickens's experiences with the early-Victorian portraitist's camera to Sunset Boulevard, Billy Wilder's remake of Great Expectations as a satire on the vampiric celebrity "celluloid self"; from actor-manager Martin-Harvey's 1899 manufacture of the "cast-iron" Victorian stage play to Dirk Bogarde's 1958 inheritance of the sacrificial gay role of Sydney Carton; from Charley Dickens Jnr.'s attempt to cash in on his father's knowledge of London to the history of production design as a medium of historical tourism and virtual experience; from Dickens's "impersonation" of Fagin, anti-Semitic and inherently theatrical, to the transformations of "the Jew" by Chaplin and David Lean and his musical apotheosis as magician and Pied Piper; from Dickens's 1868 return, in his last public reading, to the murder of Nancy to the contemporary slasher movie; and finally from the time travel enabled by the magic lantern's "dissolving views" through the role of Dickens's lantern-inspired Christmas tales of the 1840s in the lantern's development of pre-cinematic visual storytelling.  Informed by extensive archival research, deftly written, and beautifully illustrated, Joss Marsh's book shows film's fascination with Dickens was the trace of a persisting desire”fueled by decades of Dickensian impersonation and enabled by the medium's capacity to make still images live”to bring back the most extraordinary literary artist and personality of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries”to make Dickens live again.
