Why We Photograph Animals
A compelling visual anthology of one of photography’s most popular subjects, reframing our understanding of why we photograph animals and why photographing them matters to us and the planet.
A visual overview of the history and future of animal photography, Why We Photograph Animals encourages us to think and rethink the way we have looked at?and used?animals and to consider our future relationships with nonhuman species.
Multistranded, this book features the work of more than one hundred photographers supported by thematic essays that provide historical context; interviews with and contributions by leading contemporary photographers that explore their influences, methods, and motivations; and dazzling visual collections that present the very best animal photography from its inception to the present day.
The result is a book that will engage those with an interest in wildlife photography and the natural world, but also those with a concern for the future of the planet. Huw Lewis-Jones’s expert authorship and curation celebrates extraordinary images by brilliant photographers, but also allows us to understand why people have photographed animals at different points in history and what it means in the present.
Why We Photograph Animals is deliberately not a conventional history of wildlife photography. It’s an exploration of the animal in photography. It speaks to our ongoing desire to look at animals; to understand, misunderstand, and appreciate them; to use and abuse them; to neglect or come to value and protect them.

Der Man
Warum gibt es eigentlich Männer, und noch dazu so viele? Die Herstellung eines männlichen Organismus ist biologisch sehr aufwendig - weshalb auch etliche Arten ohne Männchen auskommen -, und schon ein einziger Mann könnte mit den bei einem Geschlechtsakt produzierten Samenzellen sämtliche Frauen in Europa befruchten. Mehr noch: Spätestens seit Klonschaf Dolly ist klar, dass Männer sogar zur Erzeugung von Nachwuchs im Grunde überflüssig sind. Ist der Mann also ein evolutionäres Auslaufmodell, ein Irrtum der Natur.

Forms of Enchantment
An anthology of compelling essays by Marina Warner, one of our pre-eminent writers and critics.
Art-writing at its most useful should share the dynamism, fluidity and passions of the objects of its enquiry, argues Marina Warner. In this new anthology of some of her most compelling work, she captures the visual experience of the work of several artists – with a notable focus on the inner lives of women – through an exploration of the range of stories and symbols to which they allude. Metamorphosis features vividly in the imagery, stories and media of the art that Warner has chosen to write about: in connection with animals in the work of Louise Bourgeois, for instance; with the Catholicism of Damien Hirst; and with performance as a medium of memory and resistance in the installations of Joan Jonas.
Rather than drawing on connoisseurship, the author’s approach grows principally out of anthropology and mythology. She argues that art and aesthetics increasingly fulfil a magical social function – a principle that runs through these writings to give the collection a quality that is polemical as well as coherent. With an introductory essay and illustrations throughout, Marina Warner investigates how artists noted for their treatment of disturbing, uncanny material have reached beyond the visible, to express interior states. Truly inspiring, her writing unites the imagination of artist, writer and reader, creating a reading experience parallel to the intrinsic pleasure of looking at art.

The Essential Harlem Detectives
A friend and contemporary of Richard Wright and James Baldwin - and every bit their equal - Chester Himes was the acclaimed author of literary novels, stories and essays, as well as the classic crime fiction series for which he is best known, featuring detectives Coffin Ed Johnson and Gravedigger Jones.
Himes wrote nine novels in the Harlem Detectives series, and in these four popular, accomplished instalments, his cold, wise-cracking sleuths are thrown into a brutal, murderous world peopled with conniving con men, gut-toting gangsters and opium-smoking preachers. Himes's vision of Harlem's criminal underground, enriched by deft plotting and scintillating dialogue, is both riotous entertainment and penetrating enquiry into the fraught tensions of race in postwar America.
Vanity Fair: Oscar Night Sessions
Ten years of luminous photographic portraits of Hollywood celebrities who attended the most exclusive and glamorous after-party of the year
For the past decade, photographer Mark Seliger has set up an elaborate pop-up studio inside the annual Vanity Fair after-party on Oscar Night, producing exquisite portraits of Hollywood's A-list personalities in the immediate afterglow of cinema's biggest event of the year. Vanity Fair: Oscar Night Sessions gathers the best of these portraits in one volume and includes a foreword by Vanity Fair editor in chief Radhika Jones, as well as an afterword by actor Alan Cumming, who sheds light on what it's like to be in front of Seliger's lens on the night of nights.
With more than 200 portraits, featuring names such as Lady Gaga, Robert DeNiro, Donald Glover, Jessica Chastain, Taika Waititi, Spike Lee, Regina King, and Timothée Chalamet, this over-the-top collection will be the talk of both the publishing and film worlds.
Fly Away Paul
No comprehensive biography of the time Paul McCartney spent with Wings has ever been published. A period often dismissed as McCartney's 'missing' years, in fact the band lasted for a decade: two years longer than the Beatles, and wielded such impact and influence that they at one point achieved the status as the biggest live band in the world. Band on the Run sold over 6 million copies worldwide and became EMI's biggest selling album of the 1970s in the UK.
Music biographer Lesley-Ann Jones has met McCartney many times and knew his late wife Linda. Here she shows how crucial Linda was to the evolution of Wings - at great cost to herself given the ridicule she was to encounter. But Linda saw that McCartney needed the band in the wake of the break up of the Beatles.
Drawing on extensive interviews and her trademark meticulous research, the author shows how this period in Paul McCartney's career was to become crucial not only to his development as an artist, but to his very survival.
What You Need to Be Warm
Sometimes it only takes a stranger in a dark place... to say we have the right to be here, to make us warm in the coldest season.
In 2019, Neil Gaiman asked his Twitter followers: What reminds you of warmth? Over 1,000 responses later, Neil began to weave replies from across the world into a poem in aid of the UNHCR's winter appeal. It revealed our shared desire to feel safe, welcome and warm in a world that can often feel frightening and lonely.
Now publishing in hardback and illustrated by a group of artists from around the world, What You Need to Be Warm is an exploration of displacement and flight from conflict through the objects and memories that represent warmth. It is about our right to feel safe, whoever we are and wherever we are from. It is about holding out a hand to welcome those who find themselves far from home.
Featuring new, original illustrations from Chris Riddell, Benji Davies, Yuliya Gwilym, Nadine Kaadan, Daniel Egnéus, Pam Smy, Petr Horácek, Beth Suzanna, Bagram Ibatoulline, Marie-Alice Harel, Majid Adin and Richard Jones, with a thought-provoking cover from Oliver Jeffers.
Sales of every copy of this book will help support the work of UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, which helps forcibly displaced communities and stateless people across the world.
All That We Never Were
Devastating grief has a way of overshadowing love...
Nineteen-year-old Leah Jones is struggling to cope after she and her twenty-nine-year-old brother Oliver lose their parents in a horrific car accident. Leah was in the car and is plagued by nightmares, intense grief and numbness-her life as she knew it is over.
Oliver hates leaving Leah at a time like this, but the only way he can support them both is if he transfers to Sydney for work. He implores his best friend Axel Nguyen to let her move in with him in their hometown of Byron Bay and watch over her while he's away. Oliver, Axel and Leah have known each other since childhood.
For Axel, seeing Leah so broken and devastated is a punch to the gut. He promises himself he'll do anything to bring the light back into her eyes, no matter what it takes. He would be shocked to learn that Leah is in love with him.
Little by little, as he does everything in his power to bring Leah back to the sparkling, energetic beauty he's known, he falls in love with her, too, even though he feels that he's betraying Oliver's trust. Before he can tell him, Oliver finds out about Leah and Axel's relationship and is outraged. He insists Axel prove his love by letting her go so she can fully experience life at college.
Axel agrees to break both of their hearts, and stoically breaks up with Leah so she can start a new life, not realizing the repercussions that will affect them both for years to come.
Ayesha visszatér
Haggard "Ayesha" sorozatának második történetében Leo Vincey egy látomás hatására útra kel társával, Hollyval, hogy megkeresse kedvesét, és beteljesítse a misztériumok, az újraszületés és a halhatatlan szerelem drámáját. A szerzõrõl: Henry Rider Haggard (1856-1925) korának híres brit írója, aki gyarmati tisztviselõként a gondjára bízott területeken nyitott szemmel és füllel járt. Hatott rá a dél-afrikai táj, a nép, a folklór és történelem. Az "elsüllyedt világok" témájának megteremtõje, de nem idegen tõle az "Indiana Jones" stílusú misztikus-titokzatos kalandos történetvezetés, vagy a halhatatlanság és az igazi öröklét gondolata sem.
