Fascinating anecdotes of car-to-car combat, close shaves, and explosive endings

Comprehensive review of Formula One Racing through words and pictures
With an introduction by three-times World Champion Sir Jackie Stewart, Grands Prix: 75 Years of Formula One Racing showcases a stunning collection of photographs from the beginning of this thrilling and dangerous sport in 1950, right up to the present day. From the words of the creators themselves, we learn how talented F1 photographers succeeded in capturing the excitement and the speed that is the essence of Formula One. World-class images of the cars, the drivers and world-renowned circuits such as Monaco, Monza and Silverstone, as well as F1 s most dramatic moments of high-speed combat between the sport s definitive rivalries, create a comprehensive picture of the world s favourite motor sport, the Grand Prix.
A closer look at each F1 Champion, beginning with Giuseppe Farina who won the very first Grand Prix, through to the reigning World Champion Max Verstappen, alongside the heroes and icons that make up this spectacular sport, not only reveals the guts, bravado and sheer skill of those who bring motor racing to life, but gives us an insight into how the world of Formula One plays out behind the scenes.

Perfect for skate fans and photography buffs
Read And Destroy the book that is. After years of archiving photos, scanning slides and looking for funding, a hardcover publication about the seminal UK skate magazine from the late 80s to mid- 90s can be in your hands very soon. Free Skateboard Magazine
an important piece of British skateboarding history that demands a space on your bookshelf. Slam City Skates London
For British skateboarders in the mid- 80s, RAD (aka Read and Destroy) was more than just a magazine. Before the X Games, before the internet, a whole generation of this once underground subculture relied onRAD to provide a beacon, bringing them together in spirit and in person.
Under the guidance of editor and chief photographer, Tim Leighton-Boyce,RAD took on an experimental, irreverent approach with a vibrant, chaotic energy. The legacy of the magazine is an action-packed photo archive documenting a unique time, place and attitude, capturing the death and rebirth of skateboarding as it evolved into a mainstay of extreme sports and street culture the world over.
This book reveals that archive in all its glory, offering an inside view of skateboarding and youth culture from the 1970s, 80s and 90s, told primarily through the experiences of the British skate photographers at the core of the magazine s original editorial team.

This edition also includes a special introductory essay by the late, great Jimmy Breslin
They Must Fall: Muhammad Ali and the Men He Fought features powerful and often moving images and stories of Muhammad Ali and the men he fought in the ring, by award-winning photographer Michael Brennan. “Around 1978, I had been in Houston, Texas photographing former Ali opponent George Foreman who had then reinvented himself as a roadside preacher. On the plane back to NYC, I thought, ‘If that’s what George is doing, I wonder what the rest of his opponents are up to?’ I set out to track down as many of the old guys as I could find.”Brennan spent decades locating Ali s former opponents to discover what had become of them. This unique book is a look through Brennan s remarkable archive, containing numerous neverbefore- seen photos plus poignant stories illuminating the images and contextualising Ali s powerful role in the world of sport. Includes a special introductory essay by the late, great Jimmy Breslin. “Michael Brennan’s iconic 1977 portrait photograph of Muhammad Ali captures something far bigger and deeper than just the beautiful face of a beautiful man. It is a detailed map of the personal journey of one whose incomparable talents and audacity caused literati to swoon, taught a generation to question authority, and ultimately altered the path of a society which had never before seen a man exactly like him. To look at him the way he was then is to remember, with joy and sorrow, who we all once were.” Jim Lampley, discussing the cover image (Boxing commentator, HBO Sports)

A spectacular book of photographs of sports and games, rituals and traditions Netflix will broadcast a six-part series accompanying the book, narrated by the well-known actor Idris Elba Little-known sports from around the world are introduced to a broader public for the first time
By taking a look at themes which span the globe, such as ancient rituals, rites of passage, business, pain, perfection and sacredness, this is a book which manages to encompass what it is to be human. Amateur Photographer
Astounding Aesthetica Magazine
A visual extravaganza New York Times
Why do we play games? That is the question Belgian photographer Hannelore Vandenbussche decided to explore, travelling to numerous countries to roam the world of sports, passion, athletic competition, transition, and emancipation. The athletes she portrays keep old traditions alive or carve out new territory, perform rituals, and celebrate with boisterous parties centred around their games.
Meet Buzkashi players astride their horses in Central Asia, Donga stick fighters in Ethiopia, Tarahumara runners in Mexico, big wave surfers in Nazaré, and many other athletes in these unusual sports. These unique photographs capture athletes from both indigenous cultures in remote parts of the globe and from familiar, Western cultures. They poignantly convey how old traditions are kept alive and new ones are carved out, how rites of passage, ritual, and celebration are all part of the culture of play.
Human Playground showcases a hugely diverse range of sports from places as far-flung as Mongolia and Madagascar, from jockeys in Dubai to land divers in Vanuatu. This extraordinary book of photographs is dedicated to a subject that is being presented in an entirely new way.
Born in Chile and raised in Belgium, Hannelore Vandenbussche is a photographer and creative entrepreneur, but first and foremost, she is a storyteller. In 2009, after graduating with a degree in photography, she spent nearly three years travelling around the world with Jimmy Nelson for his project Before They Pass Away (teNeues 2014). Together, they photographed the world s last remaining indigenous tribes for the book, which became a bestseller worldwide. Hannelore documented their epic journey in her book Before They Pass Away: the stories behind the photos. Her book became a bestseller in the Netherlands, is currently in its third edition, and was recently published in English.
During her adventurous travels, Hannelore was inspired by the different types of sports and games she saw around the world, which led to her most ambitious project to date: Human Playground
