A place we long to be in, a provider of lumber helping us safeguard the climate, a responsibility we fear we are not living up to: today, forests command attention like few other topics. But how are our forests really faring? How many trees does the Amazon actually have? Why do the woods need wolves? Why does fire not spell destruction for many forests? Is it true that trees are not aggressive? And what makes a forest a forest in the first place? Forests in Our World offers answers to these and many other questions. Gunther Willinger takes readers on a fascinating journey through Earth's five forest formations- from the coniferous forests of the far north to the rainforests of the tropics-and explains both the complex relationship between the forest, the climate, and the environment, and what humans must do to preserve these marvels. Forests are the green lungs of the world, absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen. They filter our air, provide drinking water, and help stabilize our climate. They also vary greatly by region, providing a home to a rich diversity of animal, plant, and tree species around the globe. Wherever you find a forest, it's sure to be a place of beauty, stillness, freshness, and replenishment. Today, more and more people are discovering the forest as a space in which to recharge their batteries but at the same time, more and more forest areas are being damaged or destroyed by human activity. Global deforestation is not a doom-laden future hypothesis, but a reality. Every year, forest areas the size of Austria are lost to the cultivation of crops, livestock, and the expansion of cities and infrastructure. This book is a tribute to and exploration of forests at a time when we urgently need to understand and protect them. It explores different forest types and their development according to local climate and soil conditions. It takes us deep into the Amazonian rain forest and looks at why this area is both particularly precious and highly vulnerable to damage. It maps the largest contiguous forest areas and examines why a mixed forest is more resilient than a monoculture. A rich source of information for all those concerned with the natural world, climate change, and environmental protection, this illustrated book is also a beautiful immersion in the arboreal refuges of our planet. From the vibrancy of the tropics and subtropics to the mythical deciduous forests of Europe and the vast boreal coniferous breadth that stretches over the northern hemisphere, this is a vital journey through the precious green ecosystems around the globe. Illustrated with images from the renowned Nature Picture Library as well as from the author's own archive, this book will open your eyes to the fascinating world of forests in a whole new way.

50 years ago, people used film cameras just as we use smartphones in the age of Instagram. They photographed their meals, holidays, loved ones, celebrations, and family reunions. Imagining the past lives of these strangers is the beauty and mystery of The Anonymous Project, which curates just under 300 images from this vast collection of 700,000+ Kodachrome slides. The places, dates, and people may be unknown, but the stories in these snapshots are universally familiar.

Ambitious in scope, democratic in nature, Magnum Streetwise is an unmissable tour through the photographs and practices that have helped define what street photography is and can be. Magnum photographers such as Henri Cartier-Bresson pioneered 'modern' concepts of street photography before the term was even coined. But their influence is far from historic. A rich seam of street photography runs through the heart of Magnum to this day, both in the work of recognized masters of street photography - such as Erwitt, Parr, Gilden and Kalvar - and of those who might not even consider themselves street photographers; a continued influence that has not gone unnoticed among the current generation of budding street photographers and fans. Magnum Streetwise is a true visual feast, interleaving insightful texts and anecdotes within an intuitive blend of photographer- and theme-based portfolios, exploring not only the work of outstanding photographers, but how common subject matter (places of leisure, marketplaces, travel) and locations (Paris, New York, Tokyo) have been addressed, conceptually and practically, across the agency and through the ages. Magnum Streetwise is an essential addition to the bibliography of street photography, showcasing hidden gems alongside many of the genre's most famous images.

Unikátní kniha o "praktické teorii" fotografie. Autoři se vyslovují v celkem 14 kapitolách ke specifikům fotografie formou teoretických esejů. Shromáždili 100 fotografií (černobílých s menším zastoupením barevných) více než 80 českých fotografů z hluboké fotografické minulosti až po současnost ke každé fotografii jeden rozbor, postřeh a charakteristika, vše ve věcné, zasvěcené, odborné a přesné rovině. Kniha autorů Ludvíka a Alexandra Baranových Obraz jako dialog s časem nemá být a není praktickým návodem, jak zhotovit "mistrovské dílo", ale knihou, která má zájemci o fotografii ukázat mnohostranné možnosti zachycení skutečnosti a dát podněty k přemýšlení i srovnání s vlastní tvorbou. V teoretické části autoři přijatelnou formou přibližují vztah fotografie a filozofie, uvádějí základní názory na specifiku fotografického díla. V jednotlivých kapitolách nám zprostředkovávají pohled na "obraz" od paleolitu přes první fotografii světa, klasiky české fotografie až po současné amatérské fotografy. Toto seznámení není pouze formou teoretických pojednání, ale formou charakteristik a rozborů sta fotografií. Jsou mezi nimi snímky například Rudolfa Němečka, Jana Anděla, Jiřího Havla, Miroslava Jodase, Ludmily Duškové, Miroslava Vojtěchovského, ale i Josefa Sudka, Václava Chocholy, Karla Ludwiga, Slávy Štochla a dalších devadesáti fotografů. Autorům se podařilo shromáždit základní názory na specifikum fotografického díla. Oprávněně poukazují na uměleckohistorické aspekty fotografického obrazu a fotografického umění. To je důležité zejména v současnosti, kdy jsme fotografickými obrazy doslova zaplaveni a mnohdy se dává přednost diskuzi o fotografické technice. Skutečnost, že se v knize můžeme seznámit i s tvorbou současných fotografů a s názory autorů na jejich fotografie, nám umožňuje udělat si lepší představu o tom, jakým směrem se současná fotografie ubírá, a také obrázek o své fotografické tvorbě. Dotisk původního vydání z roku 2007 (vyšlo ve vydavatelství NIPOS).

Pri príprave knihy Viem zastaviť čas našiel fotograf Juraj Bartoš zabudnutú škatuľu s negatívmi. Väčšinu fotografií v tejto knihe nafotil, vyvolal, film postrihal, uložil a fotografie uvidel až o 40 rokov pri skenovaní na monitore počítača. Keď retušujem fotografie z Obchodnej a pozerám sa do tvárí tých ľudí, tak si neviem vysvetliť, prečo som to niekoľko rokov robil. Kupoval som filmy, chemikálie, celé dni strávil v tmavej komore, bez perspektívy, že to bude mať reálny efekt. Zvláštne. Fotografie okoloidúcich, architektúry, predavačov, výkladov a domácností s chirurgickou presnosťou zachytávajú dobu a ľudí presne takých, akí vtedy boli a ako sa tvárili, keď mali pocit, že sa na nich nikto nepozerá. Fotografie sú prestriedané úryvkami, ktoré vykresľujú vzťah Juraja Bartoša k fotografovaniu. Text knihy je preložený do anglického, nemeckého a japonského jazyka.

An intoxicating mix of color, pattern, and texture, The Sartorialist: India is a photographic tribute to the country's diversity and splendor. Famed American photographer and blogger Scott Schuman journeyed to India many times to capture its wildly idiosyncratic styles, whether on the streets, in markets, on the cricket fields, or at residences in cities like Delhi, Jaipur, Pushkar, and Mumbai. Schuman's affinity for his subjects is evident, and he celebrates people of all ages and from all walks of life, from ravers, transgender subjects, wrestlers, surfers, grandfathers, and fashionistas to children and laborers. He also shines a light on the new India as much as on the time-honored. The casually chic layering of textiles, the enduring prevalence of traditional attire, and India's pure physical beauty all add up to a richly satisfying visual and cultural experience. The images are also illuminated by an introduction by the acclaimed fashion writer Bandana Tewari. This vibrant monograph is Schuman's first for TASCHEN, and it showcases all the unique qualities that have brought him worldwide renown: a photojournalist's eye for a decisive moment, a humanist's sense of empathy, and a fashion aficionado's appreciation for design.

It's time to refresh your creativity with this lively exploration of photography at the cutting edge. There's always a new angle with which to shoot your subject, a different shade of light to capture or a completely new genre to try out, so there's never an excuse for your camera to gather dust. This little book is full of big ideas that will inspire you to think differently. With a new concept on every page, you will discover fresh ways of tackling your subjects to create work that is original and exciting.

Boiselle has a unique way of capturing the mystical charisma and elegance of the Arabian breed in her photos.

Fotografická kniha Amerika je sestavena z černobílých dokumentárních fotografií. Dějiny fotografického dokumentárního zobrazování Ameriky jsou téměř stejně dlouhé jako je historie fotografie sama. Mnoho výrazných fotografů dokumentovalo Spojené státy americké s vysokým stupněm originality a kvality. Svou knihou se Daniel Šperl nesnaží překonat fotografie Williama Kleina, Roberta Franka, Bruce Davidsona, Garryho Winogranda, Lee Freelandera ani žádného jiného autora. “Amerika” je jeho osobním pohledem na Spojené státy americké tak, jak je měl možnost za posledních dvacet let sám poznat. Všechny fotografie byly pořízeny klasickým, filmovým způsobem. Tato kniha je vloným pokračováním řady svazků o dokumentární fotografii.

From time immemorial, we humans have felt drawn to the magic of the sea, to its power and unpredictability. Today, however, our oceans are threatened as never before. Plastic pollution, climate change, and industrial fishing are putting at risk the very existence of untold species. York Hovest has taken it upon himself to step up in the face of these challenges. He sought out and accompanied all sorts of "heroes of the sea": scientists, activists and visionaries who have launched projects to tackle the problem of how to save our oceans. It led him on numerous journeys to every corner of the earth and resulted in this one-of-a-kind photography volume that reveals both the undisguised beauty of the seas as well as the threats this unique world faces both above and below the surface. Hovest's pictures span the azure blue seas of the South Seas to the cold waters around the Arctic Circle. They show whales, sharks, and colorful reef inhabitants in their natural habitat. In breathtaking splendor and scope, they remind us of the immense diversity and beauty of marine life and urge us to protect the abundant life forms for whom the ocean is home. York Hovest, born in 1978 in Wesel, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, is an investigative photographer, author, and adventurer who travels the world in search of inspiring stories and destinies. In his new project "Heroes of the Sea," he accompanies people who have dedicated themselves to saving the oceans. He is a sought-after guest in the media, a keynote speaker, and formerly an internationally successful fashion photographer. A portion of the proceeds of this book will be donated to the marine conservation organization Sea Shepherd Global. Sea Shepherd fights against illegal fishing, the slaughter of marine mammals, and ocean pollution. The book comes without plastic wrapping. Let's keep the seas safe.
