Gymkhana 9
Ken Block hates tires. He thrashes them, burns them, makes them scream — all while dodging structural concrete, trains, and even Lake Erie. The ninth installment of the Gymkhana series puts Ken and his Focus RS RX in a post-apocalyptic industrial wasteland, turning the abandoned landscape into a freestyle paradise of surgically-precise driving.
Greenfield Guitars
Michael Greenfield, the namesake luthier and musician of Greenfield Guitars, began his love affair with the guitar in the 1970s. Michael creates some of the finest and most unique guitars available on the planet at his shop in Montreal, and each one is as much a work of art as an instrument. Stereokroma followed Michael and his assistant Justin for five months, documenting the process of turning fine woods into even finer steel-string acoustic guitars.

NASA Graphics Standards Manual
For those that grew up in late '70s and '80s, the graphic designs of NASA are some of the most memorable of the period, appearing on everything from hats to the Space Shuttle. This reprinting of the NASA Graphics Standards Manual celebrates this outstanding identity system, which was used from 1975 to 1992. Recreated for public use for the first time from the personal copies of the original designers, Richard Danne and Bruce Blackburn, it covers the logo, placement, color schemes, and other design standards that helped capture the imagination of a generation and make the American space agency a lasting, iconic part of our legacy of exploration. Included are scans of Danne's personal copy of the original manual, a forward from Danne, an essay by Christopher Bonanos, reproductions of the original NASA 35mm slide presentation, and scans of the 'Managers Guide', a follow up booklet distributed by NASA. Each copy is individually wrapped in a foil static shield, adding even more nostalgic rocket-age flair to this iconic design reference.

Star Wars Go Rogue / Chapter 2
Good help is hard to find, even when you're the Galactic Empire — just ask Director Krennic. With the construction of the Death Star definitely not going to plan, Krennic is putting the pressure on his Stromtrooper lackeys to get the job back on track. Meanwhile, Jyn and the Rebels on Jedha have to battle every Empire toy in the galaxy to escape with the Death Star plans — before the weapon is completed and time runs out for the Rebellion.

SimpliSafe Home Security
Cameras, smart locks, entry and motion sensors — the Simplisafe Home Security System keeps you covered the inside out. Its collection of devices doesn't just alert you of an intruder, they also have 24/7 Professional Monitoring that contacts to the police. They provide eyewitness accounts including the invader's whereabouts, if they're armed, and what they're up to, so the police can dispatch faster than a non-verified alarm. But their security isn't only about intruders. The system can also protect your home from other threats like fires, carbon monoxide, and water damage.

The Marvel Symphonic Universe
A great film score can be one of the most memorable aspects of a film, sometimes even more so. People who haven't even seen the Star Wars films can hum the theme from the original trilogy, and the same goes for well-loved franchises like the James Bond and more recent Harry Potter films. But ask fans of the massive Marvel franchise to recall a score from any of the 13 or so movies, and you'll most likely get blank stares. Despite being the highest-grossing film franchise of all time, Marvel's film scores have fallen flat in emotional appeal.
Dronesurfing
They can capture amazing footage, deliver your amazon packages, and even have their own racing league. Now, drones can even help you catch a wave. Originally designed to carry their bulky equipment, Freefly Systems used a heavy-duty drone to pull them across the water and get their surf on.
