A photographic exploration of a Baroque masterpiece, now returned to its former glory The stunning restoration of the beautiful Di Lorenzo del Castelluccio palace in Sicily Wonderfully evocative and full of beautiful imagery. A treat for lovers of Lampedusa’s The Leopard An inspiring insight into palatial interiors and gardens Palace location of the film ‘Cyrano’, directed by Joe Wright, and starring Peter Dinklage “A jewel of Baroque architecture, the Castelluccio Palace is the spotlight of a beautiful book retracing its history, its long restoration and its precious ornaments. These photographs reflect the Sicilian Golden Age.” —Fanny Guenon des Mesnards, AD France “This monograph is an invitation to visit the Palazzo Di Lorenzo del Castelluccio.”—Italian Vogue “A Palace in Sicily: A Masterpiece Restored doesn’t just pull back the curtain on the finished palace, it details the four-year-long process through an elaborate array of photos…”—Architectural Digest, and Yahoo With its sun-drenched sands and Mediterranean waters, Sicily has been a favoured destination of travellers for centuries. History is alive on this island, from ancient accounts of the Greeks, Romans, Arabs and Normans; to the journals of wealthy young European men embarking on the Grand Tour. This book captures the sun-steeped aesthetic of the island, while detailing the restoration of one of its finest attractions: the Di Lorenzo del Castelluccio palace. Marquis de Castelluccio was one of the last “servals” or “leopards” of Sicily – wealthy aristocrats who flooded the island with luxury. Following his death, his home fell to ruin. A half-century later, Jean-Louis Remilleux fell in love with this dilapidated 18th-century palace and made it his mission to restore it. Unveiled for the first time in this beautifully illustrated book, the Di Lorenzo del Castelluccio palazzo is one of the finest testaments to Sicilian architecture and art. Today, lush green palm trees welcome you to the palace’s imposing front façade. Frescoes, arabesques, masks, imitation marble, ceilings and wainscoting have all restored to their former glory, over decades of elaborate work. This book charts the restoration process and celebrates the astonishing end results. It contains an album’s worth of photographs that capture the beauty of this palace beneath the Mediterranean sun. Jean-Louis Remilleux is the television producer behind “Secrets d’Histoire”, a popular French show that delves into mythical characters from history. He has authored several interview books with figures such as Jacques Vergès and Michel Serrault. In addition to the Di Lorenzo del Castelluccio palace, his passion for art and history has led him to restore the castle of Groussay, in Montfort l’Amaury, and the castle of Digoine, in Burgundy. He is an “Honorary Citizen” of Noto, where the Di Lorenzo del Castelluccio palace is located.

A fly-on-the-wall account of eighties upper-class England Captures high society at its most riotous, and its most vulnerable English eccentricity makes a final stand in a changing world Follow-up to the acclaimed Oxford: The Last Hurrah ISBN 9781788840712 “…the panorama of a self-forgotten milieu.” — Monopol “Toffs behaving badly: 1980s high society in photos.” — The Times “The pictorial equivalents of Evelyn Waugh’s sentences.” — The New Yorker “Modest though he is, Dafydd’s photographs will endure for having perfectly captured a society on the brink of decline. Unmissable listening.” — Country & Townhouse podcast “Wonderfully ironic, every point in the picture ignites and knows how to entertain very well.” — Lovely Books “Dafydd catches those moments of genuine exhilaration, wealth and youth.” — The Hollywood Reporter “I wondered if the party guests I’d photographed were just re-enacting a nostalgic fantasy, an imaginary version of England that already no longer existed.” – Dafydd Jones Throughout the 1980s, award-winning photographer Dafydd Jones was granted access to some of England’s most exclusive upper-class events. Now, the author of Oxford: The Last Hurrah presents this irreverent and intimate portrait of birthday parties and charity balls, Eton picnics and private school celebrations. With the crack of a hunting rifle and a spray of champagne, these photos give an almost cinematic account of high-society England at its most riotous and its most vulnerable. Against the backdrop of Thatcher’s Britain, globalisation, the Falklands War, rising stocks and dwindling inherited fortunes, Jones reveals the inner lives of the established elite as they party long into the night-time of their fading world. Praise for Oxford: The Last Hurrah ‘Sublime vintage photographs…’ – Hermione Eyre, The Telegraph ‘In The Last Hurrah…we see familiar faces from British high society poised on the brink of adulthood.’ – Eve Watling, Independent Dafydd Jones (b.1956) grew up in Oxford and started working for the Bodleian Library aged 16. His pictures of the Oxford University 'Bright Young Things' launched his career. With work published in the Tatler, Vanity Fair, The New York Observer, The Sunday Telegraph, The Times, Independent and Oldie, his photography is held in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery and the Hyman Collection of British Photography, London; the Martin Parr Foundation, Bristol; the Opsis Foundation, New York; and the Yale Museum of British Art, New Haven.

86 stunning behind-the-scenes photographs of the largest music and performing arts festival in the world Photographs taken over a period of 30 years, capturing the way the festival has evolved Revealing the grit and grime of the revellers behind the glitz and glamour of the headliners Documentary-style photographs interwoven with stunning artistic compositions Attention to detail on the book design is exquisite: with sunset orange endpapers and illuminous yellow internal book spine mimicking the festival wristband “Capturing the spirit of every Glastonbury since 1992, this coffee table book from award-winning photographer Liam Bailey brings together three decades of revelry and wonder among festivalgoers on Somerset’s most famous dairy farm.” — Redonline.co.uk “…Iconic Photos That Capture the Messy Essence of Glastonbury.” — VICE “The book’s images capture the rugged anarchy that spreads through Somerset each year around the solstice.” — MSN “There are many books about the music scene but few that show punters in all their beautiful variety. Liam Bailey’s long-term documentation has really paid off – this book about the craziness of Glastonbury Festival is terrific.” – Martin Parr Glastonbury is the striking distillation of over 30 years’ unprecedented photographic access to the world’s largest green-field music and performing arts festival. In over 120 memorable images, Liam Bailey invites us to share his experiences of being among its diverse tribes. Although Glastonbury has evolved into a sprawling fixture of the British summer calendar, this famously vibrant event is still powered by the belief in alternative communal culture. It is this special energy that has kept Bailey returning every year since 1992. Above all, this ‘access all areas’ visual diary makes a case for the positive human potential of over 200,000 people being able to get together in the open air – to enjoy music, performance and each other. Bailey’s work has been exhibited in the UK and abroad, and appeared in magazines and newspapers including The Independent, The Guardian and Condé Nast Traveller. Liam Bailey is a photographer, working out of Norfolk, England. After a spell working as a chemistry teacher, followed by a brief stint at the BBC, Liam moved into photography full time. His project work tends to focus on people and documentary, but not exclusively. Alongside several international exhibitions, Glastonbury is Liam's second book. The first, Forever England (Dewi Lewis Publishing, 2006) was published following a social documentary examining the inanimate inhabitants of the UK's first model village. He presently works for Creative Arts EAST, he previously co-founded the photography platform, Photocrowd.com. In 2006, he was awarded an MA in Photography by the London College of Communication and in 2022 graduated with an MA in Culture and Arts' Photography from Novia University of Applied Sciences in Finland. Represented by Institute Artists up until 2020, Liam now represents himself. He is a member of the Association of Photographers. Published 14th Jun 2024

The latest title by celebrated society photographer Dafydd Jones Richly illustrated with more than 100 candid photos Unplanned and unguarded images of Hollywood’s most famous stars Featuring photos from some of the biggest celebrity gatherings of the 1990s and 2000s
“Turning the pages of this encyclopedia of golden parties, a nostalgia emanates from the clichés and plunges us into the evening of the stars at the Oscars…” — Harper’s Bazaar France “With his new collection of photographs, Dafydd Jones offers a sensational dive into the excitement of the awards season in the 1990s.” — Vanity Fair France “… a rare collection of candid moments that reveal the deepest aspects of the personalities of the world’s most famous people.” — Vogue Greece “These images, taken before the turn of the century, give us a snapshot into the rise of America’s future movers and shakers, when mobile phones were in their infancy, Facebook had yet to be created, and the hit TV series Succession hadn’t even occurred to a twenty-something Jesse Armstrong.” — The Independent “If you’re interested in celebrity culture, black & white, and of course any of the other work of Dafydd Jones, this comes highly recommended.” — Amateur Photography Hollywood: Confidential is the latest collection of beautifully timed photos from bestselling society photographer Dafydd Jones. Formerly of Tatler and Vanity Fair, Jones is a serial capturer of intimate moments during high-society functions. As famous Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter puts it, when it comes to party photographers, ‘Dafydd Jones is the sniper’s sniper – the best of the best.’ On numerous occasions in the 1990s and 2000s, Jones turned his lens to the faces of Hollywood with all his usual impudence, as they mingled and danced at private events in the Hollywood Hills, Oscar-night parties and awards ceremonies. The result is a rare thing – photographs that convey the underlying personalities of the world’s most public personas. Following on from England: The Last Hurrah and New York: High Life / Low Life, this is an essential portrait of celebrity culture from behind the scenes, featuring the likes of Anna Nicole Smith, Tom Cruise, Prince, Winona Ryder, Tony Curtis, Oprah, Nicholas Cage and more. Praise for Dafydd Jones: “Dafydd catches those moments of genuine exhilaration, wealth and youth.” – The Hollywood Reporter “Mr. Jones goes about his business with cheery zest and a wicked eye.” – New York Times “Some carefully tended public images are punctured with such rapier precision that one can hear the hiss as they deflate.” – Mitchell Owens, The World of Interiors “Sublime vintage photographs…”– Hermione Eyre, the Telegraph “Modest though he is, Dafydd’s photographs will endure for having perfectly captured a society on the brink of decline.” – Country & Townhouse podcast “The New York book is an evocative historical document, brimming with nostalgia and menace.” – Hannah Marriott, The Guardian “The best party photographers, and their numbers are few, are like snipers… Dafydd Jones is the sniper’s sniper – the best of the best.” Graydon Carter, foreword from New York: High Life / Low Life “Dafydd’s brilliant evocation of a time and a class only seem more potent today, when we know that so many of the moneyed twits in his ’80s portfolio ended up running the country, as they always have” – Tina Brown, The New Yorker
Dafydd Jones (b.1956) grew up in Oxford, and started working for the Bodleian Library aged 16. His pictures of the Oxford University 'Bright Young Things' launched his career. With work published in the Tatler, Vanity Fair, The New York Observer, The Sunday Telegraph, The Times, Independent and Oldie, his photography is held in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery and the Hyman Collection of British Photography, London; the Martin Parr Foundation, Bristol; the Opsis Foundation, New York; and the Yale Museum of British Art, New Haven.

The king of fashion insisted on being cremated, along with his universally recognisable ‘gear’ – the dark glasses and high starched collar that served as a bastion for his secrets. It is only now that witnesses have begun to talk. Thus emerges the story of Karl Lagerfeld: his father’s past in the heart of wartime Germany, his rivalry with Yves Saint Laurent (enflamed by his only love, Jacques de Bascher) and the networks he forged with the biggest luxury manufacturers in the world as he compiled his vast fortune. Truly an unparalleled icon in the history of fashion, Lagerfeld’s legacy lives on today.

Photographs of Michael Caine from the camera of Terry O'Neill CBE Captures Caine across several celebrated roles, from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels to Get Carter Black-and-white and colour images reveal Caine’s innate cool, both on and off-screen Includes never-before-seen contact sheets “When the pre-eminent portrait photographer of the day met the Cockney kid dominating the London film scene, magic was made.” — Australian Women’s Weekly Icons “Caine, the timeless gentleman.” — Diego Armes, GQ Portugal “The engaging images are either black and white or in color and therefore perfectly show all facets of the actor. A wonderful book about a very special and remarkable actor! 5 Stars!” — Lovely Books “I had to be an actor,” Michael Caine once said. “[…] And of course, you have to remember with me, the alternative was a factory.” A working-class actor who broke through to stardom, Caine’s screen-time involves standout performances across multiple genres. To this day, he is synonymous with a certain kind of urbane cool. No camera has captured this quality over the decades better than that of his collaborator and long-time friend, Terry O’Neill. Michael Caine: Photographed by Terry O’Neill offers an immersive visual journey through Michael Caine’s career, immortalising Caine’s charm both in and out of character. Caine occupies a landmark position in cinema and O’Neill was there from the early days of his stellar career. From the comedy of Dirty Rotten Scoundrels to the European drama of Seven Times A Woman; from the miasma of The Magus to the British cult classic Get Carter, this book combines black and white and colour images and includes never-before-seen contact sheets. Featuring the following films: Mona Lisa, Midnight in Saint Petersburg / Bullet to Beijing, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Blue Ice, Without a Clue, Get Carter, Deadfall, Magus, Woman Times Seven, Funeral in Berlin. Terry O'Neill CBE was one of the world's most collected photographers, with work hanging in national art galleries and private collections worldwide. From presidents to pop stars, he photographed the frontline of fame for over six decades. No other photographer embraced the span of fame to such an extent, capturing the icons of our age from Winston Churchill to Nelson Mandela, from Frank Sinatra and Elvis to Amy Winehouse, Audrey Hepburn and Brigitte Bardot. James Clarke is the author of numerous books on and about the world of film, including The Pocket Essentials: Steven Spielberg, The Virgin Film Guide: War Films, The Virgin Film Guide: Coppola, Bodies in Heroic Motion: The Cinema of James Cameron and The Year of the Geek.

The illustrated work and biographies of 25 key British jewellers, including Stuart Devlin, Elizabeth Gage, Joseph Kutchinsky and Gerda Flöckinger Focuses on an era that changed the direction of British jewellery design and placed British designers on the global stage Foreword by Lord Snowdon, a long time exponent and advocate of British design, and whose parents were leading supporters of innovative jewellery design in the 1960s and '70s An introductory guide for collectors and students, professionals and enthusiasts “…Modern British Jewellery Designers 1960-1980: A Collector’s Guide, is an ode to an extraordinary period in British jewelry history.”— Phyllis Schiller, Rapaport “This book, in my opinion, fills a significant gap in the literature providing a good starting point for anyone thinking of collecting jewellery from the 1960s and 1970s, and for anyone interested in jewellery from that era.” —Elizabeth Passmore, Scottish Gemmological Association “Another classic that belongs in every jewelry aficionado’s library is Modern British Jewellery Designers by Mary Ann Wingfield…” — Instore In the 1960s, British jewellery underwent a revolution. Natural, uncut stones exploded into vogue and a 1961 exhibition at the Goldsmith’s Hall kickstarted the nation’s new obsession with gold. The women who shopped at Quant’s Bazaar and Hulaniki’s Biba no longer just received jewellery as gifts. They placed their own orders, exploring Grima’s drizzled gold and Flockinger’s fused metallic experimentations; John Donald’s textured gold cubes and the House of Munsteiner’s curious new gem cuts. This was an era of innovation – captured here through insights into the work of 25 major jewellers and sumptuous pictures of their work. This book introduces the most influential British designers, jewellers, goldsmiths and silversmiths of 1960-1980. Tracing the evolution of style across these decades, Modern British Jewellery Designers reveals the designers’ inspirations and the identifying signatures of their work. Accompanied by new photography showing each designer’s creations, this is the perfect introduction for anyone with an interest in collecting, or learning more about this transformative period in British jewellery design. Mary Ann Wingfield is a highly experienced collector of British-designed jewellery from the 1960-1980 period. She has sat on the Executive Committee of the Fine Art Trade Guild, and opened what was said to be the first up-market designer shoe shop in the West End. Having written articles for The Field magazine and Art Business Today, her published works are Sport and the Artist (1988), A Dictionary of Sporting Artists (1992), Horse Racing Address Book (1998) and Anything is Possible (2020, Tandem Publishing).

Explores the numerous ways in which artist Allen Jones has engaged with photography Mostly unpublished photographs, are supported by an introductory text by Philippe Garner and by revelatory chapter introductions by Allen Jones Allen Jones is a Senior Academician of the Royal Academy of Art
Multiple Exposures – Allen Jones & Photography explores the numerous ways in which artist Allen Jones has engaged with the possibilities of this medium. Historian Philippe Garner has researched Jones’s extensive archive to develop and present the insightful narratives implicit in this remarkable, often surprising selection of images. Studying at Hornsey School of Art, then at the Royal College of Art till 1961, Jones achieved swift success within a dynamic roster of artists celebrated as ‘The New Generation: 1964’ at the Whitechapel Gallery, London. Alongside his practice as a painter, sculptor, and printmaker, Jones nurtured an ongoing fascination with photography. This volume – an important addition to the literature on Jones’s oeuvre – reveals how he was first drawn as a student to the camera’s potential, making his earliest experiments in black and white. Through the sixty-plus years of Jones’s career – using camera and, more recently, iPad, and iPhone – photography has become ever-more integrated within his wider practice as an artist. We observe his incorporation of ‘found’ photographs within his early collaged works; we discover the photographs he has taken as a visual ledger of all that intrigues him; we see a telling selection of the imagery that he has collected, mostly drawn from vernacular sources, such as post cards, newspaper cuttings, and magazine tear-sheets; we find his playful images of his studio and its juxtapositions; and we follow his investigation of the ways in which his paintings and sculptures can interact and invite fresh readings when transmuted into photographs. The images in Multiple Exposures, mostly hitherto unpublished, are supported by an introductory text by Philippe Garner and by revelatory chapter introductions and pertinent pull-quotes by Allen Jones. The dynamic design of the book is by the legendary graphic artist David Hillman. Allen Jones has pursued a long and successful career as an artist, first as a prize-winner in the ground-breaking Young Contemporaries exhibition in 1961 soon after leaving the Royal College of Art, and followed quickly by the Prix des Jeunes Artistes at the Paris Biennale in 1963. He is a senior member of the Royal Academy of Art. Philippe Garner has enjoyed a long career as an auction specialist. He joined Sotheby’s in 1970 and has worked for Christie’s since 2004. He has written extensively on his specialist fields of 20th century decorative arts and design and the history of photography.

Stunning photographs of Corfu Perfect for travellers, photographers and artists A unique study, revealing the hidden side of a popular Mediterranean paradise A true photographic masterclass Famed for its architecture, culture and natural beauty, Corfu greets millions of tourists each year. Having been left to its own laidback lifestyle after 500 years of Venetian, French and British occupation, the island is now as popular with holiday makers as it once was with invaders. The old town is an especially alluring blend of venetian architecture, Mediterranean charm and even the occasional cricket pitch, all uniquely resistant to the intrusions of modernity. Immaculately illustrated, Old Corfu opens the rusty gate to an island experience like no other. By focalising the flaking paint on garage doors, pavements split by the heat, or olive trees stooped and swaying as if drunk, each page is infused with the same unspoilt appeal as Corfu itself. More than a testament to the allure of a balmy, Mediterranean paradise, this is a true photographic masterclass, inviting us to see the attractiveness in old age, and the beauty in life’s imperfections.

An important photo book that visually documents student life at Oxford University during the 1980s The major work of award-winning photographer Dafydd Jones A powerful record of the future British establishment “I had access to what felt like a secret world. It was a subject that had been written about and dramatised but I don’t think any photographers had ever tackled before. There was a change going on. Someone described it as a ‘last hurrah’ of the upper classes.” – Dafydd Jones Oxford University at the start of the eighties, rife with black ties and ballgowns. A change was on its way – best described by a newspaper as ‘the Return of the Bright Young Things’. At this time, Oxford University was synonymous with the wealthy, the powerful and the privileged. Many of the young people in these pictures moved on to have careers in the establishment including Boris Johnson and David Cameron. In these photographs, however, their youth is undeniable: teenagers in full suits celebrate the rise of Thatcher in England and Reagan in America, in between punting on the river, chasing romance and partying through the night. “It was Thatcher’s Britain, a period of celebration for those that had money” – Dafydd Jones Oxford: The Last Hurrah shows a world that has been written about and dramatised, yet never photographed. Affectionate and critical, it pokes affectionate fun at its subjects while celebrating English eccentricity. From the architectural marvels of the colleges to misty mornings along the river at dawn, this is Oxford at its most beautiful – and the students of the 1980s at their most raw and honest. Dafydd Jones (b.1956) grew up in Oxford, and started working for the Bodleian Library aged 16. His pictures of the Oxford University 'Bright Young Things' launched his career. With work published in the Tatler, Vanity Fair, The New York Observer, The Sunday Telegraph, The Times, Independent and Oldie, his photography is held in the collections of the National Portrait Gallery and the Hyman Collection of British Photography, London; the Martin Parr Foundation, Bristol; the Opsis Foundation, New York; and the Yale Museum of British Art, New Haven.

One of America’s most iconic stars, seen through the lens of six top celebrity photographers Featuring photos by Milton Greene, Terry O’Neill, Eva Sereny, Al Satterwhite, Lawrence Fried and Douglas Kirkland Includes never-before-seen images of Paul Newman on stage, on set, and while racing A must-buy gift for any fan of Paul Newman “Who doesn’t know Paul Newman? The man with the beautiful blue eyes, the chiselled face and body, the 50-plus years of memorable acting and directing roles, the awards, the movie-star marriage. Well, it turns out, there is lots more to know.” — Parade Magazine “Newman’s preternaturally piercing baby blue eyes shine through in every picture, and he was well aware of how his fame rested on the colour of his irises.” — Peter Sheridan, Daily Express “Hollywood Hunk Paul Newman as you’ve never seen him before.” — Yahoo! News “Paired with raw and unvarnished commentary from the photographers themselves, Newman’s incomparable authenticity and appealing persona bleed through each page.” — Newsweek Once, when asked how he’d like to be remembered, Paul Newman replied: “I’d like to be remembered as a guy who tried. Tried to be part of his times, tried to help people communicate with one another, tried to find some decency in his own life, tried to extend himself as a human being.” As an actor who became a film star, Newman repeatedly tapped into his times and in doing so redefined what movie stardom could be. Newman was a new kind of movie star, bringing a particular authenticity, intensity and sensitivity to his performances. Throughout his career, Newman was extensively photographed: these images enriched film audiences’ connection to him as a cool and graceful presence both on and off-screen. Milton Greene, Douglas Kirkland, Lawrence Fried, Terry O’Neill, Al Satterwhite and Eva Sereny are amongst the photographers who worked with Newman on and off-set across his career. From early stage work with his wife, Joanne Woodward, to his love of racing cars, to the essential 1980s drama Absence of Malice to the great success of the new western Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and the cult favourites, Pocket Money and The Life and Times of Judge Roy Bean, Newman’s movies were an essential part of American culture. With comment and contributions from the photographers, Paul Newman: Blue Eyed Cool, gathers together portraits, stage, racing and on-set photography — including never before seen images — in a celebration of an actor who was always… cool. Paul Newman: Blue Eyed Cool is a must-have for fans who see in Newman’s work and in his life a true hero. James Clarke is the author of numerous books on and about the world of film, including Bond: Photographed by Terry O’Neill (ACC Art Books, 2020), The Pocket Essentials: Steven Spielberg, The Virgin Film Guide: War Films, The Virgin Film Guide: Coppola, Bodies in Heroic Motion: The Cinema of James Cameron and The Year of the Geek.

As the band has continued over a period of nearly 50 years, front man and only constant member Robert Smith has maintained the band’s popularity throughout the changing musical eras, while staying true to their individualistic style and quirkiness. Instrumental in the creation of the varying incarnations of The Cure is photographer Paul Cox, who first encountered the group onTop of the Pops in 1980. Having established a creative, productive and trusting relationship with the band, Cox’s resulting work is The Cure in all their glory. Including over 200 colour and 75 black-and-white images, with accompanying captions selected and written by Cox and Smith, this book is a celebration of a seminal band through the lens of a skilled photographer. Paul’s career took off in the late 1970’s initially with a job with London Features International photographing bands at concerts and various locations. One of these was the BBC studios for Top of the Pops, where Paul first encountered The Cure in 1980.

The essential book of Hidden Portraits by thought-provoking artist Volker Hermes Beautiful collection of contemporary art gone global through social media Featuring commentary by leading academics Till-Holger Borchert and Professor Francesca Raimondi A must-have reinterpretation of historical privilege through a very modern lens Volker Hermes was featured by the Metropolitan Museum and Christie’s in New York, and has shown his work at the National Museum in Wroclaw, Poland; the James Freeman Gallery in London; Museum Palazzo Merulana in Rome; and the Galerie Bräuning Contemporary in Hamburg Volker Hermes: Hidden Portraits gathers the essential works by one of the most beguiling artists of the present era, in a very modern reinterpretation of historical privilege. Using only elements of the original paintings, Volker Hermes masterfully alters photos of historical portraits to mask the faces of their subjects. With each figure concealed under their own ceremonial attire, these one-time elites quickly lose their individuality in a plume of decorations and accessories. In this official collection, Hermes delivers his wry commentary on wealth, fame and social status with taut imagery, intense focus and a suitably shrewd sense of humour. His immaculately reproduced artworks are accompanied by the thoughts of German art historian Till-Holger Borchert and Professor Francesca Raimondi of Berlin’s Institute for Philosophy, as well as the artist himself. A must-have revision of classical portraiture from a celebrated digital creator. “Hermes’s meticulously described collages pay homage to their sources while gently ribbing the social pretensions and ambitions of the courtly classes.”– Christopher Alessandrini, metmuseum.org Volker Hermes, born in 1972, draws and paints powerfully and directly, with perseverance and a lot of humour. His pictures and drawings are always integrated into comprehensive projects, within which Hermes gets to the core of his subject in an almost scientific way. These projects include a multi-year preoccupation with the subject of portraiture and, more recently, with the subject of historical battle painting and seascapes. His works are always an expression of an intensive engagement with art. Thus his portraits do not serve the honour of their protagonists and the sea battles do not serve the glory of old seafaring. Hermes’ paintings bring fame and glory to art itself. His figures exercise the possibilities of painterly representation with impressive virtuosity. And there are no limits to these. Hermes combines linear conception with painterly gestures and watercolour-like painting with hard Edding drawing and shows himself to be a master in both fields. For him, painterly solutions must be derived from a fundamental (artistic) principle with an inner logic: “If the viewer feels this even subconsciously, that's enough for me. You don't have to know everything, but you can feel a lot.” Despite all the analysis, Hermes’ paintings should above all be enjoyed.

Watch collections of 30 celebrities, from Jay-Z, Ed Sheeran and Tyler the Creator to Serena Williams, Andy Warhol and Lewis Hamilton Stunning colour photos of collections, brand collaborations and celebrity-designed models Details of each watch reveal the technical artistry behind each timepiece “If celebrity watch spotting is your thing, and believe me, this is a growing tribe, then, Watch Spotting: The Collectors by ACC Art Books (left) is watch voyeurs dream come true.” — The Jewellery Editor “Riche digs into the compelling nature of watch collecting, even for the very famous.” — Watchonista “… If you share a passion for timepieces with Brad Pitt, Marlon Brando, Jay-Z, or even Princess Diana and many others, then these pages are for you! ” —Tribune des Arts “With stunning visuals and sharp commentary, this tome is essential reading for anyone fascinated by horology and its ability to make a statement.” — Boss Hunting The intricate mechanics, precision and artistry behind high-end watches have long been appreciated by collectors, but in more recent times watches have become cultural icons. Symbolising luxury, wealth and success, timepieces now play a key role in pop culture with celebrities like Pharrell Williams and Rihanna elevating watches through endorsements, and rappers like Jay-Z and Drake flaunting high-end watches such as Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet and Rolex in their lyrics and public appearances, turning them into status symbols. Through the collections of 30 celebrities, chosen by Toronto-based watch writer Rhonda Riche, Watch Spotting: The Collectors sets out to illustrate what makes watch collecting so compelling and why timepieces have come to symbolise more than just timekeeping. With its marriage to pop culture, watch collecting has brought timepieces into mainstream consciousness in a fresh and bold way, making these wearable works of art more popular than ever. Rhonda Riche is a Toronto-based writer specialising in watches, design and culture. She is currently Editor-At-Large for Watchonista, to which she contributes articles on collectors and their watches. She has written for The Globe And Mail, Sotheby’s Insights and 'In Style', is co-author of the book Covet Garden Home, and was a regular contributor to CBC Radio 1’s 'Definitely Not The Opera'. She has been nominated for several National Magazine Awards.

A stunning compilation of wildlife photography from autistic environmental campaigner Alfie Bowen Evocative, beautiful pictures of animals, from lions to lemurs, flamingos and koi fish Foreword from wildlife presenter Chris Packham and an introduction from Alfie Bowen himself Includes a full photo index “With each day spent outdoors I am reminded of what a beautiful world we all call home, and the challenges that face ecosystems across the world.”– Alfie Bowen “The photographs are outstanding, and the story behind them inspirational. Given the odds stacked against Alfie throughout his life, this book is a significant success and bodes very well for a continued and very inspiring career as a world-class photographer.” – Chris Packham “There are illustrated books that go straight to the heart, leave you speechless and humbled….and “Wild World” by Alfie Bowen is just such an illustrated book. Wildlife photography in perfection, for which there are no words, because Bowen succeeds in letting the viewer look directly into the soul of the animals with his photographs.”– Lovely Books Germany “Bowen’s photographs are truly breath-taking. Hours are invested into every piece to ensure the results are exactly as Bowen envisioned… ” –Lovely Books Alfie Bowen is an exceptionally talented young autistic photographer and wildlife activist. His latest project offers a glimpse into the private lives of numerous wild animals from across the globe and reveals the highs and lows of living as an autistic environmental campaigner. Bowen’s photographs are truly breath-taking. Hours are invested into every piece to ensure the results are exactly as Bowen envisioned, and Bowen conducts in-depth research on every animal he captures, believing it is of the utmost importance to understand his subjects. In this book, Bowen discusses overcoming the limitations of technology and how autism has given him the obsession needed to persevere in often cold, lonely and difficult circumstances. From Bowen’s relation of his struggle to capture the perfect picture of a cheetah, to his majestic portraits of some of the most beloved animals on the planet, this book captures the powerful sensory experience Bowen enjoys whenever he immerses himself in nature. Featured animals include: lions, cheetahs, leopards, tigers, snow leopards, Geoffrey’s cats, red pandas, chimpanzees, monkeys and colobuses, lemurs, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, deer, flamingos, eagles and other birds, and koi. Alfie Bowen took up photography in 2014. It became an escape for him, and he credits it with saving his life. He uses his photography to raise awareness of the plight facing many species across the world, and to increase acceptance and understanding of autism. Bowen is proud to be an ambassador for Clinks Care Farm, Big Blue Ocean Cleanup and Young Bird Photographer of the Year. He also works closely with WWF. Alfie Bowen is based in Beccles, Suffolk.

The first book devoted solely to William John Kennedy’s friendship with Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana Contains pictures of both artists in their youth, as well as members of Warhol’s circle An intimate glance at the lives of these artists, before they found fame Before they became two of America’s most iconic pop artists, Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana were young aspiring creatives, living in New York. There, they met and befriended William John Kennedy, who would take some of the first photographs of these artists in their career. Many photographers worked with Andy Warhol, but few so early on in his career or in a such a uniquely collaborative fashion. After establishing a friendship with Robert Indiana and taking some of the first, important close-up images of him in his studio, Kennedy went on to work in a similarly creative way with Warhol. These striking images of the young Warhol and Indiana were lost for nearly 50 years before being rediscovered. They were immediately recognised as important documents by the Warhol Museum and by Robert Indiana, and presented in the Before they were Famous exhibition, which travelled to London and New York. The story of the re-discovery of these photographs was made into an acclaimed documentary in 2010 – Full Circle: Before They Were Famous, Documentary on William John Kennedy. William John Kennedy: The Lost Archive: Photographs of Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana will be the first of William John Kennedy’s books devoted solely to the time he spent with Andy Warhol and Robert Indiana. The book features pictures of both artists as well as images of Taylor Mead, UltraViolet and other members of Warhol’s circle. William John Kennedy has been a fine art and advertising photographer for over 60 years. He has shown at multiple exhibitions, from Love and Warhol Photography (2020: Metroquadro Gallery, Wynwood, Miami) to A Night at the W Museum (2019: W Hotel, Miami Design Week) and Essential Robert Indiana (2014: Indianapolis Museum of Art). His work resides in numerous museums across America, including the Andy Warhol Museum, the Indianapolis Museum of Art and the Detroit Institute of Art. His published books includeThe Essential Robert Indiana, (2014: Indianapolis Museum of Art), Love and Fame (2013: Indiana State University), and Munch/Warhol and the Multiple Image (2013: The American-Scandinavian Foundation).

Unique insights into Qatar and its creation Comprehensive, detailed guide to all museums and artworks Detailed maps throughout the book of all districts, museums, etc. Qatar calendar of events in late 2022 and 2023 Beautifully produced with a gatefold cover Although one of the world’s smallest countries, Qatar punches well above its weight in terms of art and culture. It is home to innovative and striking pieces of public art as well as art-filled museums designed by world-famous architects.

Sheikha Mayassa’s personality shines through every page, whether discussing the delights to be found in museums and galleries, or commenting on her favourite place to see wild life and where to find the best abayas. Part easy-to-read guide and part memoir, The Power of Culture offers a completely original insight into the Qatar of today, enhanced with in-depth interviews by Sheikha Mayassa with some of the leading architects and artists who have contributed to its success. Text in English, Arabic, Mandarin, Hindi and Spanish. Sheikha Al-Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani is the driving-force behind the extraordinary cultural flowering of Qatar in recent years.

The firm crafts architecture that respects the site and provokes a sensuous interaction with the environment, while also focusing on purposeful modernism. Every project is dedicated to clean modernism, where function is purposeful and aesthetic becomes inherent. The synergy of the two creates unique, timeless and truly experiential spaces.

Richly illustrated with full-colour photographs, and detailed plans throughout Features a selection of contemporary projects all employing or repurposing traditional materials, to create new and innovative buildings Projects include a range of typologies, from houses to cultural centers, or museums to sports pavilions, brand new designer builds to modern extensions on centuries-old heritage buildings Each example provides a clear illustration of how traditional materials have been used to highlight or enhance the building The buildings of the past were constructed with readily available and local materials, such as stone, wood, or handmade bricks. Architects in the modern era, however, can choose from an ever increasing number of new materials, each one allowing for different advances in design. And yet the traditional materials have never been entirely supplanted; they still form an important part of the architectural range and are still used by architects the world over. The humble brick, for example, has remained a constant throughout the history of architecture, as has timber with its flexibility and warm tones. But today such elements can be used in conjunction with newer materials to highlight their natural beauty in many different ways: creating a stunning metal facade, wrapping a building with a cool, sleek stone finish, designing a wall with an eye-catching interesting texture, or adding depth or warmth to an internal design. Traditional metals are also finding new use, being employed to coat a structure in a light metal skin that reflects the sunlight, or embedded onto a building to add interest and texture. This book journeys through a curated selection of stunning examples from across the world, showcasing how each material is creatively used over a diverse range of building types and styles, and illustrating the myriad possibilities and forms available to the modern architect who chooses to rework these age-old materials into a brand-new decorative yet functional form.

Demonstrates how key architects across Britain and Ireland are blending contemporary design practices with traditional vernacular buildings Features stunning full-colour photography throughout, informative descriptions and detailed floor plans Will appeal to all architects, landscape designers, urban planners, developer-clients, and educators Features an array of award-winning and highly commended projects including Bureau de Change's Folds House, winner of a 2016 Times Best Homes Award; Coppin Dockeray's Antsy Plum, winner of the 2016 South West RIBA Award; Tsuruta Architects' House of Trace, winner of RIBA's 2016 Stephen Lawrence Prize; Cassion Castle Architects' Oak Lane House, winner of the Daily Telegraph's Home Buildings Awards Best Residential Design 2016; and Broadstone's Tireighter Cairn, winner of the Single House Building category at the 2017 Building and Architect of the Year Awards House design in Britain and Ireland is guided by climate, landscape and local resources just as much as the centuries-old traditions that have influenced architectural shape and form. Today’s best-known and emerging architects interpret their briefs with imaginative flair: they are transforming houses for the next generation of families by blending their renewed vigour for a local aesthetic with new materials and trends. Many of the new houses featured in British + Irish Modern reflect the architect’s focus on redefining local expectations for form by beautifully juxtaposing the traditional with contemporary structures, thus forging a new vernacular. Architects across this region are wholeheartedly seeking opportunities to re-use existing structures in myriad ways, resulting in surprising and remarkably unique renditions of old houses and buildings made new. Shown in stunning, full-colour photographic detail are hundreds of pages of new and renovated houses, cottages and even converted barns nestled in misty rural valleys, including new and retrofitted modern inner-city terraces and townhouses that make the best use of available space. Houses are selected for levels of comfort, use of materials, and dramatic expression of traditional and contemporary architecture, as well as houses that capitalise on longer and warmer summers imposed by changing weather patterns in this corner of the globe. Houses are designed with indoor spaces and intimate courtyards for play and recreation that draw in light and shield from the extreme weather elements yet maintain an eye on sustainability and affordability. British + Irish Modern reveals a rich array of works that showcase how architecture in Britain and Ireland today has much to teach the world about creative, high-calibre design, innovative application of materials, and cautious but clever reliance on resources. Maggie Toy spent a decade as the editor of international magazine Architectural Design and is the author of several books on architecture.

Her work is described as sensual, fresh, and feminine, often entwining humans with nature. Alexandra Sophie’s powerful and award-winning photographic work narrates stories on being human, the human being in environmental contexts — interwoven through floral themes — and explores identity through subjects such as sexuality, feminism, and interrogations on what constitutes the “normal” frontier. Alexandra’s award-winning photography has gained international recognition, featuring collaborations and covers with high-fashion clientele, such as Swarovski, Cacharel, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar UK, among many others; in 2018 Forbes named her as one to watch in its 30Under30 Europe profile. This highly illustrated book, which will include a preface written by Nathalie Colin (former Creative Director at Swarovski), comprises a lavish and rich portfolio of Alexandra’s photographic portraits that is inspirational, beautiful, contemporary, and colourful. Her stunning images push boundaries and feature portraits of a wonderfully diverse selection of strong, bold people of all ages, races, and body types. Alexandra Sophie is a French artist and renowned fashion and fine art photographer. Her work is described as sensual, fresh, and feminine, often entwining humans with nature. Alexandra lives with her husband and her two sons (whom she homeschools) and finds inspiration in their large garden, where they live as self-sufficiently as possible, with their beehives and vegetable patch. She regularly travels to universities and art festivals as a speaker and workshop teacher, and spends much time photographing in natural light in forests, meadows, and other natural environments around the world. Her work often reflects the flowers in her own garden; whenever she is with her camera, it’s often only to question humanistic identity and the word “normal,” a term that has challenged her own identity for much of her young life. Beyond all its meanings, she questions human’s identity as “normal” through her studies of the human body combined with ethereal story-telling, and especially women's rights to place within nature itself. Alexandra’s award-winning photography has gained international recognition, featuring collaborations and covers with high-fashion clientele, such as Swarovski, Cacharel, Vogue, Vanity Fair, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar UK, among many others; in 2018 Forbes named her as one to watch in its 30Under30 Europe profile.

Features a beautiful selection of the compelling photographic bird portraits produced by Greg Oakley that form part of his Gould Series, a contemporary take on the historic bird illustrators of the mid-19th century Through his magnificent collection of art works, artist Greg Oakley takes our appreciation of birds to a distinctively new and unsurpassed level Lavishly illustrated, this book will be greatly treasured by everyone who loves birdlife “With 240 pages filled with incredible art, the bird lover will enjoy flipping through and taking in the vast distinctions between species in the bird kingdom.” — Prevention Australian artist Greg Oakley has had a lifelong fascination with birds and bird art, and began photographing birds 20 years ago, progressing from traditional film to digital in the early 2000s. In the past six years, he has worked on perfecting the difficult and exacting area of bird photography known as “setup”, where perches and backgrounds are meticulously crafted and designed, and lighting strictly controlled. There are sometimes hundreds of individual photographs taken and then digitally combined to create a single work. With a combination of photographic skill, field craft, meticulousness and incredible patience, he removes the subject from its natural environment and context, re-imagining it in a field-guide style reminiscent of the historic bird artists. Oakley’s photographs represent a reconstructed contemporary vision of important historic artists such as Gould and Audubon. This collection of stunning artwork is a testament to the natural beauty of birds, highlighting the precarious existence of many endangered species and a reminder of the beauty we could lose. By isolating the subject into an unblemished reality, each species’ character and beauty is celebrated with empathy and understanding. The resulting images provide both a rare glimpse in stunning detail of these delicate creatures, and a poignant reminder of the tragic, impending loss of many of them due to habitat loss and climate change. Australian artist Greg Oakley has had a lifelong fascination with birds and bird art, beginning with painting intricate illustrations at a young age when studying Art & Design at university. He began photographing birds 20 years ago, progressing from traditional film to digital in the early 2000s.

Safdie Architects illuminate the process of building the new central connector between the existing airport terminals at Singapore Changi Airport Includes detailed diagrams of the building's conceptual design, which is based on the geometry of a torus (in reference to a revolution generated by a revolving circle in a three-dimensional space) Incisive texts provide viewpoints on how the project works sustainably and innovatively, with a composition of lifestyle/retail amenity, cultural attraction, and transportation infrastructure Jewel Changi Airport documents the creation of a remarkable addition to one of the world’s premier airports. The sinuous, faceted glass Jewel serves as Singapore’s new gateway to the world, and redefines what an airport can be.

A beautifully illustrated and inspirational book that showcases innovative and modern cabin designs Engaging descriptions of each project that detail challenges, benefits, and tips and tricks from designers Covers a wide range of inspiring, contemporary cabin designs from across the globe, including Canada, France, Ireland, Norway, Finland, Poland, Sweden, United Kingdom, and United States A richly photographed design reference covering every imaginable type of cabin, including off-grid and prefabricated models and more “Modern life getting on top of you? You’ll find inspiration for an escape to the wild in the pages of this new photo book, which showcases spectacular cabins in breathtaking locations.” — The Daily Mail “If you’re a cozy cabin enthusiast, this coffee table charmer, published on Sept. 28, 2022, may be for you.” — Fox News “If you’re refraining from an entire bookshelf, at least keep one very cool coffee table book on show. Points for escapism, notes on architecture, design, or whatever else you’re into, because sometimes you can judge a book by its cover.” — Real Homes Modern Cabins: Return to the Wild reveals infinite possibilities to connect with nature in contemporary cabins set in idyllic locations. This richly illustrated book includes a worldwide selection of projects—across Asia, Australia, Europe, United Kingdom, and the Americas— showcasing inventive methods to maximise small spaces, and to make the fast pace of city living a distant memory. These cosy retreats—embedded in stunning and remote locations and designed to be at one with the wilderness—are truly sanctuaries. Also available: Cabins: Escape to Nature, ISBN 9781864708332 Dev Desai founded DDAA (Dev Desai Architects and Associates) in 2020, an offshoot from a firm that specialises in residential villas and interiors. His formative development as an architect was under the guidance of Pritzker Laureate Toyo Ito and associates (Japan) and Vo Trong Nghia Architects (Vietnam). Both continue to have a strong influence on his work. As a young and dynamic studio, DDAA constantly challenges the threshold of architectural design through a contemporary unique language. One of the initial projects under DDAA was the design development of a tiny cabin on a coffee estate, as an alternative way of living during the pandemic. To minimise the ecological impact, the cabin was prefabricated and assembled within 4 weeks on-site. What started as a humble architectural project has now evolved into a series of prefabricated cabin designs and an eco-resort where 15 of such cabins will be built on the estate. Desai also founded Re-Build, a research venture that addresses the challenges in conventional prefab, and merges the power of digital fabrication to amortise the cost of construction, reduce the dependence on manual labour, eliminate the need for heavy machinery, and reduce the time for assembly to a few days. The connection with nature and the desire to push the boundaries of architecture and construction are the guiding principles behind his work.

Text is by acclaimed architectural writer Michael J. Crosbie, with a preface by Cesar Pelli, and foreword by Thomas Fisher Pickard Chilton's design approach is based upon understanding client values, through which mutual trust, rapport, and a collaborative relationship are achieved. The resulting architecture, documented in the book, reflects the client's needs and value system Relationships between architects and clients – built upon expressed values, as well as their import into the final work of architecture – are typically not discussed in architectural education, rarely considered in architectural criticism or theory, and usually missing in most writing about architecture. This monograph seeks to highlight and address this deficiency. The book focuses on the process that the firm uses to help their clients to define values, and to intone them through architectural design. Exquisitely presented throughout, this volume presents a range of built and in-process works at a variety of scales, complexity, and locations, with various clients. Most of these projects have not been previously published. The projects will be documented and discussed within the context of the value proposition and design process that distinguish Pickard Chilton’s approach to architecture. Michael J. Crosbie, Ph.D., FAIA, is Professor of Architecture at the University of Hartford, as well as the former Associate Dean and former architecture department chair. He is the editor-in-chief of Faith & Form: The Interfaith Journal on Religion, Art, and Architecture . Dr. Crosbie is the sole author, editor, or contributor to more than 70 books on architecture. The author of hundreds of articles on architecture, design, and practice, Dr. Crosbie is a frequent contributor to international print and online publications and has lectured on architecture throughout the United States and abroad. He is the recipient of the Edward S. Frey Memorial Award, in Recognition of the Contributions Made to Religion, Art, and Architecture, bestowed by the American Institute of Architects' Interfaith Forum on Religion, Art, and Architecture.

A beautifully illustrated book to inspire any would-be urban homesteader, or anyone who wants to grow their own produce within arm’s reach Engaging descriptions of each project by the owners, detailing challenges and benefits, as well as tips and tricks from the experts Covers a wide range of garden possibilities, including from the United Kingdom, United States, Australia and Europe In a fast-paced world with mega upheaval, including climate crises and a global pandemic, the allure of growing your own food, being self-sufficient, and living green is immense. This yearning for not being wholly reliant on the supermarket, and the growing concerns over pesticides and food miles has led to the resurgence in seeking old-world skills. As showcased in Urban Homesteads, the benefits of a productive garden on your doorstep or within arm’s reach, tending to chickens, harvesting your own honey, and using eco-friendly water-harvesting techniques are clear: fresh herbs, vegetables, and fruit on tap, fresh eggs, delicious honey; plus living at a slower pace, better value for money, and a more soothing and mindful existence. Of course, a healthy garden and environment also attracts beneficial insects and birds. Get inspired with this book’s range of eco-friendly possibilities from around the globe. With beautiful full-colour photos, gathered here are stories of people who have set up their own productive and abundant back yard or patio, as well as examples of great vertical planters, indoor gardens, and those who have reached into the urban community allotment. Use this book to start your own journey with an urban homestead lifestyle, with lots of generous tips, modern green concepts as well as a twist of modern, technically savvy know-how. All the practical guidance you need on how to be the change you want to see. Rebecca Gross specialises in writing about architecture and design. She has a Masters in History of Decorative Arts and Design from Parsons School of Design in New York, and is interested in understanding cultural history through the lens of architecture and design. Rebecca writes for Australian and New Zealand magazines, architects, and designers and served as editor for New Orleans: An Intimate Journey Through a City With Soul written by Professor Geoffrey H.

Covers more than 70 high-profile projects across commercial, retail, institutional, and mixed-use programmes, including the Musée d Art Contemporain de Bordeaux; the headquarters for Shell, Air France and Johnson & Johnson; Leonardo de Vinci University Center; L'Oréal Laboratories; Shenzhen Hospital; and many others Includes an introduction written by renowned architectural writer Philip Jodidio Includes full-colour photography, detailed diagrams, plans and sketches Includes 74 high-calibre projects across Europe, including France, Czech Republic, Poland, Hungary, Spain and Monaco, and elsewhere around the globe Valode & Pistre seem atypical in the world of contemporary architecture. Their bright, cheerful offices on the Rue du Bac in the heart of Paris reflect this nature. It seems quite natural that artists who work with light such as Yann Kersalé and the late François Morellet have been pleased to create installations specifically for these offices because, from their first iconic completed work, the renovation of the CAPC Bordeaux Contemporary Art Museum, the pair have been actively interested in the connections between art and architecture. Denis Valode says, “We are convinced that the role of the architect is to do more with less and not the contrary. The economy of means—the correct choice of means—is essential. Our goal is to create the best possible result with a certain frugality of means.” Once again, this interest in obtaining the maximum result with a minimum of means leads the architects to note that their approach is particularly well suited to current ecological concerns. Denis Valode and Jean Pistre’s sense of efficiency has proven to be far more durable and better adapted to the demands of contemporary architecture than the many flamboyant styles that have come and gone since they started working together. Their words are in perfect harmony with their ideas—they avoid excessive rhetoric but when they talk about buildings they do so with passion and with clear ideas and methods, often involving their aesthetic sense developed through the world of art. Denis Valode and Jean Pistre oversee one of the most successful architectural offices in France, working on prestigious towers, hospitals, and research facilities, but also on shopping centers and sports venues. Nor are their projects limited to France—they have worked in China, Russia, and numerous other countries. The pair first worked together in 1978 and created Valode & Pistre in 1980. Today the office employs 200 people and provides interior, architectural, and urban design as well as engineering services. These projects highlight the success of the office in breaking through the barriers that usually separate architects who work on privately funded projects and public ones in France. Valode & Pistre, based in Paris with offices in Moscow, Beijing, and Dubai, is a highly sought-after architectural firm initially founded in 1980 by Denis Valode and Jean Pistre. These days the practice spans multiple fields of expertise, including architecture, urban design and green engineering. Their predominantly large-scale projects are distinguished by their high degree of diversity, seen in the firm’s multidisciplinary output, such as from their first completed work in 1990, the Musée d’Art Contemporain de Bordeaux to the forthcoming mixed-use retail space in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, to the Monaco Sea Extension, scheduled for completion in 2025.

These days, in opposition to the great industrialisation of steel manufacturing, wood and bamboo are increasingly being used to create a niche space in design within the industries of transportation, sport, art, culture and indeed modern lives in general. With the significant advances in technological research and application, wood and bamboo are increasingly being promoted as materials suitable for the construction of bicycle frames and individual bicycle components. Showcasing more than 250 designers from around the world, including craftspeople (many of them renowned bicycle makers), manufacturers and associated organisations, this book dedicates hundreds of pages to beautiful bike designs, illuminating the latest modern trends in specialist bicycle craftmanship. Set out with detailed, distinctive design dialogues from each craftsperson or manufacturer, we learn how wood and bamboo are being enhanced and developed as extremely durable, aesthetically appealing materials, and which are considered sustainable, ecologically viable, user friendly and dynamic across each application. Beautifully illustrated, with historical references and texts by experts in the trade, and backed up with technical engineering knowledge,

A unique insight into a fascinating private collection of 200 very diverse and beautiful 20th-century globes, each of which are a testimony of the world view of their makers “This book is a fascinating look at a history rarely told.” —The Guardian “a fascinating look at a history rarely told” — The Observer “In his new book “Around the World in 200 Globes” (Luster), he spot-lights some of the most significant and interesting, shpwing that a globe is more than a map on a ball.” — Wall Street Journal “…a superb illustrator of changing boundaries and national self-regard” — Strong Words “…exquisite examples that speak to our species’ ever-shifting ideas of who we are and where we live” — National Geographic Traveler “…beautifully put together – and the photographs of the globes are straightforward but show off the magnificence of the collection admirably” — Amateur Photographer The Dutch architect Willem Jan Neutelings (co-founder of Neutelings Riedijk Architects) is known as the architect of, among other things, the MAS in Antwerp and the Gare Maritime in Brussels’ Tour & Taxis district. Few people know, however, that Neutelings is also an avid collector who, over the years, has built up a very extensive and also very specific collection of hundreds of globes, made between 1900 and 2000. In this book, he presents his collection to the public for the first time. He selected 200 globes, each telling a very individual and interesting story about the time and place when and where they were created. Some globes bear witness to technological innovations by the way they were made, some show how advanced people’s knowledge of space was at the time, some were intended as navigational aids. Neutelings’ collection includes globes in cast iron, steel, wood and even paper; some look very old and fragile, others are very colourful, and some even give off light. Each one is a beautiful and intriguing object that teaches us a lot about the ever-changing world view of mankind. This beautiful and skillfully crafted book is an ode to these stories, to the unique objects often anonymous craftsmen produced in the last century, and to the special dedication of collectors.

Montgomery, Author, Dirt: The Erosion of Civilisations, Growing a Revolution If we care about nature and our planet’s health, we need to care about where our everyday food is coming from. As one of the most destructive practices on the planet, farming outcomes have helped bring us to the brink of catastrophe. Fortunately, they can help bring us back. Food Planet Future explores how. Containing never-seen-before images taken using the latest photographic technology, Food Planet Future combines art and science to show food in a whole new light. Food Planet Future invokes awe and wonder and inspires action taken on our Earth’s behalf. This book invites readers to reimagine the possibilities for Earth-friendly agriculture, stirring the imagination and provoking ideas and questions. Agriculture has a profound impact on the Earth and its climate but author Robert Dash illustrates and describes alternative sustainable practices which, if implemented on a wide scale, could help reverse climate change threats and biodiversity loss. Regenerative and sustainable agriculture is within our ability to achieve: there is hope – if we choose to listen. A career science educator and self-taught photographer, Robert Dash searches out tiny subjects with large stories about climate, conservation, and biodiversity. His work has been published by TIME, Lenswork, Buzzfeed, and National Geographic (Growing a Greener Feast, 2022, Best Science Photos of 2021). Dash’s images have appeared in galleries and juried shows in the US and overseas. His TEDx lecture, The Intercourse of Nature, explores leaf stomata as a metaphor for interconnectedness. Dash’s travelling exhibition, which birthed this book, is titled Food Planet Future. His first book, On An Acre Shy of Eternity / Micro Landscapes at the Edge, which won the Nautilus Book Award, was a three year study of land on the edge of the Salish Sea where he and his partner, artist Ranna McNeil, reside.

Over 200 stunning photographs of fine jewellery Massive press campaign to accompany the launch of the book Major events planned around the 40th anniversary including a launch and exhibition Kiki’s jewellery is frequently worn by HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales; her jewellery was frequently worn by the late Queen and the late Princess Diana Tells the story of a female-founded and female-run globally renowned jewellery business This title looks back upon and celebrates 40 years of Kiki’s business, her life, and her remarkable story. From the delicate shimmer of amethysts to the radiant sparkle of citrines and peridots, Kiki’s signature pieces have graced the ears and necks of style icons across generations – including HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales, Queen Camilla, and Princess Diana. “The eternal challenge for a designer is to make pieces which are relevant and modern as well as timeless … The fact that Kiki McDonough has achieved this in countless collections over forty years is nothing short of a triumph” – Carol Woolton, jewellery historian and British Vogue Jewellery Editor On the eve of her jewellery business’s 40th anniversary, Kiki McDonough opens the vault to share the remarkable journey behind one of Britain’s most beloved jewellery designers. What began in 1985 with a single concession in a friend’s store has since blossomed into a globally celebrated brand, known for its vibrant use of coloured gemstones, timeless elegance, and deep connection with the women who wear it. With over 200 stunning photographs, this beautifully curated book is both a visual feast and an inspiring portrait of a female-founded and female-led company that changed the face of modern jewellery. Through rich imagery and candid storytelling, Kiki reflects on four decades of creativity, determination, and evolution. She takes us behind the scenes of her design process, shares memories from the early, chaotic days of balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship, and explores how her work continues to resonate with modern women around the world. Her mission has always been simple yet revolutionary: jewellery should be bought by women, for women, pieces that speak to their style, their confidence, their joy. More than a retrospective, it’s a celebration of a legacy still in the making – a story as colourful and joyful as Kiki’s exquisite jewellery. Kiki McDonough is a fifth-generation jeweller and leading female British designer, whose eponymous fine jewellery brand is renowned for showcasing vibrant gemstones in timeless and wearable designs. Her jewellery is on show at the V&A, has been auctioned by Bonhams, and is frequently worn by members of the British royal family. Kiki’s brand started as a concession in a friend’s antique jewellery shop in 1985 when he asked her if she would design some modern jewellery, the result of which (a pair of heart crystal earrings with a diamond bow on top) are now in the modern jewellery collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. Kiki has designed jewellery ever since, and the brand has grown significantly over the past forty years. Much admired, and with a rightful place on the global luxury stage, Kiki McDonough is known for creating vibrant, colourful, fine jewellery that appeals to the stylish modern woman.

A sensational photographic exploration of the world of ice and snow, from oceans to ice sheets, glaciers and ice caves, and the stunning landscapes of the world’s major mountain ranges Beautiful photography through which documents extraordinary changes across several decades On-topic: presents how global shifts in temperature are affecting snow and ice, melting glaciers, and how it affects the communities who live in those areas Authors are experts in their field and have been studying glaciers for over 50 years Gives a positive message as it’s not only a reminder of what we stand to lose, but gives readers the courage to tackle the global climate emergency Beautiful and moving … Stunning images of our frozen Earth” – New Scientist We live on a planet where up to a third of the land area is covered by snow and ice during the winter. This frozen world, known as the cryosphere, is captured in all its remarkable beauty by the spectacular photography within this book. Our Frozen Planet is a celebration of these frozen realms, inviting readers to embark upon a stunning photographic journey through the cryosphere. However, this book also carries a stark warning: although the cryosphere represents a significant component of Planet Earth, it is rapidly declining in response to global warming. The next few generations of humanity will see unprecedented change in ice and snow cover. Now is the time to place on record the magical beauty of such areas. Experts in their field, authors and photographers Michael Hambrey and Jürg Alean have each studied glaciers for half a century. They have worked in both polar regions, and several of the world’s major mountain ranges. Their work has led them to examine ice and snow on all scales, from the mighty glaciers and ice sheets that still cover ten percent of Earth’s land surface, to frozen puddles and fluffy snow. In this book, they explore how a myriad of snowflakes are transformed into glacier ice, how this then flows under the influence of gravity, and finally disappears through melting. They discuss how glaciers have eroded Earth’s surface to produce some of our most stunning landscapes, and the importance of deposition of debris to the provision of rich soils. They investigate ice in the ocean, on lakes and in rivers, and illustrate the delicate beauty of frost and snow. Finally, they show some of the myriad ways in which plants, animals, and humans interact with the cryosphere. Replete with breathtaking photography ranging from the tiniest icicle to the most mammoth glacier, this book is a vibrant celebration of this fascinating and breathtaking world in which we live. Our Frozen Planet serves as a reminder of what we are at risk of losing, and, in doing so, gives us the courage to tackle the global climate emergency. Michael Hambrey is Emeritus Professor of Glaciology and former Director of the Centre for Glaciology in the Department of Geography & Earth Sciences at Aberystwyth University, Wales, UK. He was also founding director of the Climate Change Consortium of Wales. His research interests include glacial geology and structural glaciology. He has published nearly 200 scientific papers and several books, including university-level textbooks Glacial Environments (1994) and, with Jürg Alean, Colour Atlas of Glacial Phenomena (2017). In addition Michael has co-written popular science books Glaciers (2nd edn, 2004) and Gletscher der Welt (2013) with Jürg Alean, and Islands of the Arctic (2002) and The Continent of Antarctica (2018) with Julian Dowdeswell. Jürg Alean was formerly a teacher of geography at the Kantonsschule Zürcher Unterland in Bülach, Switzerland. He has undertaken extensive fieldwork in the Swiss Alps, the Canadian Arctic, Alaska and South America. His research has led to various scientific papers, in particular concerning dangerous glaciers and ice avalanches. He has also published many popular scientific articles and several books, for example, Gletscher der Alpen (2010) and Gletscher der Welt (2013), as well as those mentioned above with Michael Hambrey.

This landmark publication brings together over 40 collaborators from the environment and arts sectors to share ten deeply human stories from every corner of the UK – from Black-led community gardens in the heart of London, to all-women worker cooperatives in Edinburgh, and traditional fishing practices off the southern coast. Each chapter pairs striking visual narratives with evocative poetry, capturing a landscape not only of geography, but of care, resistance, and renewal. The ten powerful stories in this book prove a future is possible where nature-friendly farming has a positive impact on our climate, wildlife, and communities. We Feed The UK is a call to attention. It captures a moment of transformation, led not by policymakers or corporations, but by everyday people planting the seeds of change with their own hands. These are the stories we need now: rooted in hope, grown in resistance, and harvested for a liveable future. The Gaia Foundation is an international charity with four decades of experience accompanying the Earth's best custodians to revive and protect biocultural diversity.
