Pablo Picasso's artistic output is astonishing in its ambition and variety. This handsome publication examines a particular aspect of his legendary capacity for invention: his imaginative and original use of paper. He used it as a support for autonomous works, including etchings, prints and drawings, as well as for his papier-collé experiments of the 1910s and his revolutionary three-dimensional 'constructions', made of cardboard, paper and string. Sometimes, his use of paper was simply determined by circumstance: in occupied Paris, where art supplies were hard to come by, he ripped up paper tablecloths to make works of art. And, of course, his works on paper comprise the preparatory stages of some of his very greatest paintings, among them Les Demoiselles d'Avignon (1907) and Guernica (1937). With reproductions of more than 300 works of art and additional texts by Violette Andres, Stephen Coppel, Emmanuelle Hincelin, Christopher Lloyd, Johan Popelard and Claustre Rafart Planas, this sumptuous study reveals the myriad ways in which Picasso's genius seized the potential of paper at different stages throughout his career.

During the height of the Cold War paranoia, the United States Strategic Air Command kept nuclear-armed bombers in the sky constantly. It was a strategy fraught with the risk of human error. In February 1958, an F-86 fighter jet accidentally collided with a B-47 bomber during a training mission off the coast of Georgia. To safely land his severely damaged bomber, the pilot was forced to jettison his payload into the shallow, muddy waters of the Wassaw Sound near Tybee Island. That payload was a 7,600-pound Mark 15 thermonuclear bomb. Despite a massive, frantic, months-long search by Navy divers using sonar and dragging cables through the swamps, the weapon was never found. It remains buried in the silt to this day. This book investigates the terrifying logistics of the military's "e;Broken Arrow"e; incidents. We analyze the controversial, heavily redacted government reports regarding whether the lost bomb contained a fully active plutonium capsule capable of a nuclear detonation, or just conventional explosives. Explore one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the atomic age. A chilling reminder that the U.S. government permanently lost a weapon of mass destruction in a popular fishing spot.

Eiskalte Hände griffen nach seinem Körper und drückten ihn auf den Boden. Er wollte schreien, doch nur ein lautloses Röcheln entrang sich seiner Kehle. Schauriges Gelächter drang an seine Ohren. Die Angst stach wie ein glühender Pfahl durch seinen Körper. Eine dieser furchterregenden Gestalten brachte mit teuflischem Grinsen ein funkelndes Messer zum Vorschein. Die Klinge näherte sich seinem Hals. »Nein«, schrie Fred Watson – und in diesem Moment wachte er auf. Schweißgebadet wälzte er sich herum und versuchte, die schrecklichen Szenen zu verdrängen, die ihn im Schlaf geplagt hatten. Sein ganzer Körper zitterte, und sein Atem ging stoßweise. Watson warf einen besorgten Blick auf seine Frau, die friedlich neben ihm schlummerte. Lana hatte von den Albträumen zum Glück nichts mitbekommen. Watson stand leise auf und ging zum Fenster. Die Schwärze der Nacht war einem hellen Grau gewichen. Bald würde der neue Tag heranbrechen. Der Rancher verließ vorsichtig das Schlafzimmer und schloss die Tür hinter sich. Für einige Sekunden blieb er unbeweglich stehen und ließ seine aufgewühlten Nerven langsam zur Beruhigung kommen. Dann holte er aus dem Wandschrank eine dickbauchige Whiskyflasche und setzte sie an die Lippen. Normalerweise trank Fred Watson nie auf nüchternen Magen, aber heute musste er eine Ausnahme machen.
