Peaks of Europe A 5-month Photography Journey Johan Lolos -Johan Lolos is a pioneering travel photography influencer with more than 450,000 followers on Instagram -The impressive result of a 145-day road trip of 40,000 km across 17 countries -More than 200 photos, many of which are unpublished, will take you through Europe’s three major regions: the North, the Balkans and the Alps -145 days. 17 countries. 1 road trip. 40,000 km travelled. Many people met.
Peaks of Europe is not a traditional landscape photography book. It’s the result of a 5-month adventure across 17 countries told through the lens of a European travel photographer who took 29 years to finally explore the continent where he was born. Peaks of Europe has been designed for a specific purpose: telling the story of a 5-month road trip and what it takes to be living out of a car for several months, with all the good and bad moments. For this project, Johan Lolos wasn’t just documenting the landscapes. This book features a series of photos with a focus on the storytelling as much as the imagery. At the end, the people he met were what he remembered most. From the Arctic island of Spitsbergen in the Svalbard archipelago, to Greece’s largest island where Lolos walked in the footsteps of his ancestors in Crete, Peaks of Europe showcases the large variety of landscapes that makes Europe so diverse and unique, but not only. As a travel photographer with a fascination for human interactions, he also tried to portray different cultures through all the people he met during his journey. Johan Lolos is a Belgian-born self-taught travel photographer with a passion for the outdoors and the wilderness. His images have been published in, among others, Mashable, National Geographic Travel, Outside Magazine and The Huffington Post. In the summer of 2017, Johan completed a 5month road trip around Europe, a personal project named Peaks of Europe, with the support of many sponsors. In 5 months, he travelled more than 40,000 km across 17 countries.

The Standing Rock Portraits Sioux photographed by Frank Bennett Fiske 1900-1915 Frank Bennett Fiske -The photographs of Frank Bennett Fiske are important windows, historically and artistically, for they show a proud people during a period of difficult and often painful transition. -Through the glass of Frank Fiske’s negatives lies an abundance of information and understanding. -Amazing portrait photography of the Fort Yates Native Americans. -Astonishing time document. - First publication of the works of Frank Bennett Fiske. - For the readers of Before They Pass Away by Jimmy Nelson.
More than a hundred years ago (1899) photographer Frank Bennett Fiske (1883-1952) began photographing members of the Standing Rock Sioux in his studio at Fort Yates, North Dakota. He was 16 years old when he took over the studio from S.T. Fansler. The men and women Fiske photographed were his friends and neighbours, Native Americans who had lived on this reservation for more than 20 years. Fiske lived there nearly all his life. Made with a large studio camera on glass plate negatives, the resulting images are stunning in their clarity and composition and have rarely been seen in public and never published in book form until now. Dakota native, photographer and graphic designer, Murray Lemley, has curated a selection of Fiske’s work for the world to see for the first time. ‘These pictures show a historical and artistic vision of proud people in a difficult transitional period. The glass negatives of Frank Fiske are a sumptuous source of information and understanding’. – Rod Slemmons. American photography expert.

Amsterdam Resized Jasper Léonard -Amsterdam sized down, like you’ve never seen it before -With the best and most original quotes about the Dutch capital -International press has heaped praise on the Resized series
‘Thanks to his tilt-shift technique, the photographer creates the illusion that you are looking at miniature models, instead of actual real-life people and buildings. ‘– Belgian newspaper De Morgen ‘The Book is an intimate and magical token of admiration.’ – The Sydney Morning Herald Photographer Jasper Léonard previously resized Antwerp and New York and now points his special tilt shift lenses towards Amsterdam. Amsterdam Resized shows you the city like you’ve never seen it before: the famous canals of Amsterdam have been reduced to mere trickles with mini-sized bridges, the joggers in the Vondelpark to Playmobil puppets and the Stedelijk Museum now looks more like a bath tub. A new book in the Resized series, which has been a huge success in the US with articles in, among others, USA Today and the New York Post.

Innovations in tailoring, technique and materials, as well as a new vision of fashion with an emphasis on comfort, timelessness and tactility created clothing whose primary aim is to please the wearer, not to impress the viewer. An image of women was also introduced that was no longer obsessed with youth but left room for women of different ages, thus generating an alternative vision of beauty. This key period between 20th- and 21st-century fashion is evoked through interviews with Margiela's closest collaborators, more extensive essays by Rebecca Arnold, Kaat Debo and Sarah Mower, and a foreword by Suzy Menkes. Never-before-published material from the Maison Martin Margiela archives, numerous striking and exquisitely refined images from Le Monde d'Hermès, as well as new photographic material tell the story of Margiela's supreme wardrobe for Hermès.

Invisible Lives HIV on the Fringes of Society Colet van der Ven and Adriaan Backer foreword by international Aids expert Peter Piot -A powerful plea to break through the taboo surrounding HIV and AIDS in stigmatised high-risk groups -Portraits of people with HIV and AIDS in the most vulnerable subcultures -Unique series of reports from all over the world with intimate and powerful photographs -Appears in the run-up to the International Aids Conference in Amsterdam from 23 to 27 July
With the exception of Africa, the highest percentage of HIV infections are found in high-risk groups such as drugs users, prostitutes, transgenders, gay men, street children or prisoners. They encounter more stigmatisation and discrimination than other groups, which makes it harder for aid to reach them. Writer Colet van der Ven and photographer Adriaan Backer travelled around the world to give these people a voice: women in patriarchal Tadzhikistan, victims of political violence in Kenya, black homosexuals in the deeply religious southern states of America, transgenders in India, (ex-)prisoners in South Africa and drugs users in Myanmar. They also interviewed a representative of the first generation of AIDS patients in the Netherlands and a female refugee in the Ukraine. Colet van der Ven worked for many years in international aid organisations, in India and Haiti among other countries. Since 1985 she has written for various Dutch newspapers and journals. She has published nine books, including Het kwaad en ik (Evil and I), an exploration into the roots of violence. She has also worked as a radio and television presenter. Adriaan Backer has been active for twenty years now as a documentary photographer. He has worked for several relief organisations and his photographs have appeared in various daily newspapers and weeklies. Together with Ricus Dullaert he produced A Call to Witness, about AIDS in South Africa. With Colet van der Ven he published Slagschaduwen, erfenis van een koloniaal verleden (Cast shadows, legacy of a colonial past) on the traces left by slavery in present-day Curaรงao.

And now, almost 40 years later, I still do!" Graydon Carter, Editor-In-Chief Vanity Fair
Very few celebrities are so iconic that their first name is all that's needed in order to immediately recognise them. One photographer has captured each and every one of these icons - and more besides - on film. He goes by the name of Oscar Abolafia. You can call him Oscar. Oscar Abolafia (born in 1935) is an American photographer known for his outstanding photojournalism of the celebrities that made the 1960s and 70s truly extraordinary. At a young age, William Vandivert, one of the founders of Magnum Photos, took him on as an assistant and showed him the ropes about technical and lighting skills. Abolafia's work made the pages of worldfamous magazines such as People Magazine, Vanity Fair and Harper's Bazaar. Over a span of 50 years of work in the field of photography, he was able to build personal and intimate relationships with the most enduring stars of our age, such as the Kennedys, Liz Taylor, Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra, to name but a few.

From Asia and Great-Britain to the United States: this fire water has conquered the world and is now the most sold spirit internationally. The term ‘fire water’ refers to its most distinguishable quality: a neutral spirit, without smell and with a pure taste. It turned vodka also into a barkeeper’s best friend and the basis of every Cosmopolitan, Moscow Mule or Bloody Mary. Frédéric Du Bois is a spirit connoisseur and owner of Miraflor, Belgium’s market leader in terms of distribution of gin and vodka. He can count the industry’s biggest names among his clients. Isabel Boons is a culinary journalist who previously contributed to all other four titles in the Gin & Tonic series.

Brussels Art Nouveau Walks in the City Center Cécile Dubois & Sophie Voituron -Nine walks to discover the multiple aspects of architectural Art Nouveau in Brussels -Including maps, places to visit, information about guided tours and notes -From Victor Horta, in an organic style to Paul Hankar, in a more geometrical tendency
At the end of the nineteenth century, Brussels’ architects reacted against academicism with a new movement, called Art Nouveau. Victor Horta's style was more organic, while Paul Hankar preferred more geometric designs. Together they developed a style of architecture, that would soon become internationally famous. In just 15 years, from 1893 onwards, hundreds of Art Nouveau buildings popped up across Brussels. Initially, the great innovators took the lead, but soon their assistants and other imitators, who were also inspired, in the early nineteenth century, by the Viennese Secession and other trends in European Art Nouveau followed suit. Initially this style perfectly corresponds with the ambitions of the industrial upper middle class. They wanted to leave their mark on the urban landscape with this new and often exuberant architecture. Gradually, larger groups of the population started to also use the Art Nouveau style for very different purposes, including schools, social housing, townhouses, warehouses, a house of the people... This guide suggests nine walks, in various neighbourhoods around Brussels, allowing you to discover the many different facets of Art Nouveau in architecture. Learn more about the personality of several leading architects and decorative techniques, like sgraffito. The author also interviewed several owners, conservators or restorers of Art Nouveau buildings, who are helping to preserve this exceptional heritage. Cécile Dubois is a historian, tour guide and organiser of The Art Nouveau and Art Déco Biennial. Sophie Voituron is a photographer specialised in architectural photography.

Cycling in the Great War Patrick Cornillie -A surprising view of the First World War as seen through the eyes of the early cycling champions -For enthusiasts of history and cycle racing -With outstanding historical pictures and illustrations that have never been published before
On 28 June 1914, there are two almost simultaneous shots. In Paris, the twelfth Tour de France is about to start, while in Sarajevo the Austrian crown prince Franz Ferdinand is assassinated. Professional cycle racing comes to a halt, but the first cycling heroes continue to race. The Belgian cycling author Patrick Cornillie takes us through the wartime editions of the Tour of Flanders, which were ridden ‌ on a velodrome just north of Ghent. With humour, the book tells the stories of a champion who was a spy, a one-legged Italian cyclist, some famous British and German idols, and the perilous bike adventures of a well-known Belgian author. With sadness, we learn about the fate of a French winner of the Tour, killed in battle, the brave Black Devils, and the many cyclist-soldiers from Australia, New Zealand and Canada who died at the front. Cycling in the Great War is a collection of moving tales, beautifully told and beautifully illustrated with original historical pictures. Patrick Cornillie is a prize-winning poet, journalist and author of several cycle guides and books about cycle racing, such as Helden van het veld (Heroes of cyclo-cross). With a layout by the awardwinning art director Gert Dooreman.

In today’s economy, everything has changed. In order to survive, managers and organizational leaders will have to address the need to connect to the largest possible audience without losing touch with the individual. But how does this work? How can managers look ahead?

What makes today’s costumers tick? Why does everything have to be easy, fast, fun and simple? Why are data the new gold, and why is AI a blessing? The answer is plain. To keep evolving, leaders should be inspired by the outside world. They should have the guts to read the signals all around them.

Contact Center Management From Complaint Department to Value Center Jan Smets
-Insider’s view on an often-ignored center of value creation -Steers clear of vague slogans and clichés -Grounded in reality and years of experience
Call Centers are no longer the ugly duckling in your company. How do contact centers create value to company and client? Have social media killed our contact centers? How do we throw off the negative aura surrounding contact centers? Judging by the amount of employees in the contact centers of today’s companies, one cannot simply overlook their importance to sales, marketing and customer service. Yet somehow still the cliché lives on that customers don’t like these out-oftouch, impersonal contact centers. But how do these clichés stand up to the test of reality? Contact Center Management is an investigation into the stereotypes surrounding the sector. As it steers clear of hollowed-out theory and vague slogans, it offers a grounded approach to the creation of value for your company as well as for any client. Jan Smets is Director Customer Care at Belgian mail organization bpost and manager of the organization’s three contact centers. Before that, he was at the head of the customer service department at Belgacom, which makes up one of the largest contact center organizations in Belgium. He is a highly sought-after speaker and lecturer.

Saved Marketing Sandra Rothenberger -Offers a clear approach to marketing without overcomplicating existing models -Acts as a guideline towards using appropriate frameworks, strategies and concepts -Contains many cases and best practices from international forward-thinking companies
In the past decades, the field of marketing has moved through five models in rapid succession, with each of these models resulting from the available technology and approach to the customer that was appropriate at the time. In the current stage, Marketing 5.0, the traditional 4P’s of marketing – product, place, price and promotion – are no longer applicable. What we need, is a fresh new look at these pillars of marketing for future success – more particularly, at the ways in which today’s marketing is fundamentally ‘H2H’ or ‘human-to-human’. This book lays down a clear path towards adopting the frameworks in marketing that make a difference today and in the future. In doing so, it provides marketers with an effective way of adapting to today’s customer-centric environment. Sandra Rothenberger currently chairs the research unit of Strategy, Governance, Marketing and Innovation at the Solvay Business School of Economics & Management. A multi-lingual international academic, businesswoman, consultant and speaker, her business and industry experience includes consultancy for small and medium sized companies as well as supervisory boards activities in European multinational corporations.

The Channel Whisperer How to recruit, manage and develop your distributors Paul Sysmans -One of the first books to tackle every aspect of dealing with distributors -Features a chronological, easily applicable and international approach -Contains useful templates
Dealing with distributors can be hard. They are constantly looking for better and exclusive deals, form a bad fit with your company’s strategy, do not spend enough time on your products and rely too heavily on your support. At least, that is the viewpoint of many managers. However, getting a better result from the cooperation with distributors starts at your own organization. Distributors aren’t just clients, but an essential extension to your own organization. That means they should be treated as such. Because why would your distributor want to work exclusively for your organization? Once organizations start tweaking their attitude towards distributors in the right ways, they will undoubtedly only stand to gain from their cooperation with distributors. Paul Sysmans has built up a successful career in international marketing, sales and general management in companies such as Agfa Healthcare and Kodak Health. He currently works at Hyundai Construction Equipment Europe.

approach
towards
disruptive
-For both experts and laymen who are interested in both humans and robots. Tempting, fascinating and confusing. The future has finally begun, let’s design it with love
ROBOT LOVE presents a highly topical theme: what does it mean to be human and to love in the context of robotics and Artificial Intelligence (AI), and how to preserve certain distinctive qualities while we are merging with machines? There is already a tendency to see ourselves as quantitative machines. Meanwhile, in order to become human aware, robots need to incorporate typical human qualities. Qualities such as emotion, intuition, and most of all love. Now that human-like machines are entering the domestic sphere, AI may act as a mirror allowing us to delve deeper into ourselves and the current state of society. ROBOT LOVE, combining art, neuroscience, robotics and ethics, is like a force from the future we cannot yet grasp, but urges us to ask: can we learn from robots about love? This lavishly illustrated book accompanies the ROBOT LOVE exhibition presenting the work of 60 international artists working at the cutting edge of art, technology and social change, including Matthew Barney, Bart Hess, Roger Hiorns, Hito Steyerl, Philippe Parreno, LA Raeven. Renowned scientists and authors such as Margaret Atwood, Anton Grunberg, Reza Negarestani, Katarina Kolozova and Tobias Revell contribute with exploratory and persuasive essays. They make us aware of science fiction becoming science fact. Ine Gevers, artistic director of the Niet Normaal Foundation, is the driving force behind both the exhibition and the book.

Marketing for the Mad Men of Tomorrow Big Brands in a World of Algorithms Wim Vermeulen -Put innovation at the center of marketing -Build up your own futureproof marketing system -Rely on proven methods to successfully adapt to the future
In an ever-changing digital world, marketeers might feel like they are constantly chasing an evolution they can’t keep up with. And rightly so. Tesla cars can warn us of accidents before they have happened. Amazon has drone delivery up and running. Consumers are getting ready to embrace virtual reality, augmented reality and chatbots. Where do we go from here? To bridge the gap between the technology-addicted consumer and marketeers that are constantly chasing the facts, those marketeers can no longer rely on yesterday’s solutions. This book offers an aide in finding new ways out of the slump and in centralizing innovation in every marketing plan. Reviewing success stories and best practices forms an added dimension to this approach: by figuring out which methods worked in the past, why and how they worked, we can set out for even greater results – even in the ever-changing digital age. Wim Vermeulen is Director of Strategy and Innovation at Dentsu Aegis Network. Wim is a highly sought-after speaker and visiting professor at Solvay Business School.
