The hula dance, historic, exotic, and romantic, has epitomized the somewhat intangible lure of the tropical Pacific for over two centuries. The idealized Hula Girl—with her ukulele, grass skirt, and curvy figure—evolved into the ultimate symbol of fantasy and lured tourists to Hawaii. This collection of unique vintage images will transport you to the Islands in no time.

In the space of a century, Las Vegas went from a dusty frontier town to the booming 24-hour mecca for pleasure-seekers captured in this new TASCHEN title. America’s naughtiest town is seen in vintage pictures and ephemera that chronicle all the hot spots from the Sands and the Strip to the Golden Horseshoe and Glitter Gulch, along with a historical overview of the city’s multiple reinventions. From the era of Bugsy Siegel to Frank Sinatra’s Rat Pack and Elvis’s triumphant return to the stage, there’s no gambling with this book—it’s a sure jackpot.

Things, objects, stuff, trinkets, tools, materials, gadgets, the things we use, abuse, throw away, cherish, depend on: these are the things we own, simple objects for our everyday lives. They may or may not hold special meaning to us, but their importance, as objects of cultural identity, is unmistakable.
Produced by COLORS under the direction of Oliviero Toscani, famous for his controversial Benetton campaigns, 1000 Extra/Ordinary Objects is a humorous and educational guide to stuff from all over the world. Discover the wonderful absurdity of a priest’s portable mass-in-a-briefcase kit, or the stunning difference between flyswatters from Zimbabwe and South Korea. Ogle at the juxtaposition of neoprene surfing shoes and bullfighting slippers; have a gander at a can of blowfish soup. You’ll see that what is ordinary halfway across the world (or perhaps for your neighbors across the street) may be totally foreign to you.
Next time you pick up your toothbrush or comb your hair, you may think twice about the things that you use every day - perhaps they’re not so ordinary after all.

Part II of our Extra/Ordinary Objects collection brings you more wonderful and absurd “everyday” products from all over the world, proving that if taken out of context, the trinkets, tools, gadgets, and objects that most of us take for granted are really not so ordinary after all.

The Hermetic Museum takes its readers on a magical mystery tour spanning an arc from the mediaeval cosmogram and images of Christian mysticism, through the fascinating world of alchemy to the art of the Romantic era. The enigmatic hieroglyphs of cabbalists, Rosicrucians and freemasons are shown to be closely linked with the early scientific illustrations in the fields of medicine, chemistry, optics, and color theory.

Originally published in France between 1876 and 1888, Auguste Racinet’s Le Costume historique was the most wide-ranging and intelligent study of clothing ever published. Covering the world history of costume, dress, and style from antiquity through the end of the 19th century, the great work—“consolidated” in 1888 into 6 volumes containing nearly 500 plates—remains, to this day, completely unique in its scope and detail. Racinet’s organization by culture and subject has been preserved in TASCHEN’s magnificent and complete reprint, as have excerpts from his delightful descriptions and often witty comments. Perusing these beautifully detailed and exquisitely colored illustrations, you’ll discover everything from the garb of ancient Etruscans to traditional Eskimo attire to 19th century French women’s couture. Though Racinet’s study spans the globe from ancient times through his own, his focus is on European clothing from the Middle Ages to the 1880s and this subject is treated with exceeding passion and attention to detail. The Complete Costume History is an absolutely invaluable reference for students, designers, artists, illustrators, and historians; it is also an immensely fascinating and inspirational book for anyone with an interest in clothing and style.
