Arabian Horse
The beauty and grace of full-blooded Arabians have captured hearts for centuries. These are intelligent, fleet-footed, noble, curious, sensitive creatures who work hard and enjoy close relationships with humans. These horses are also of special importance to Gabrielle Boiselle, because it was a magical encounter with an Arabian stallion that convinced her to pursue her passion for equestrian photography. Boiselle has a unique way of capturing the mystical charisma and elegance of the Arabian breed in her photos.

Four Walls and a Roof : The Complex Nature of a Simple Profession
Architecture, we like to believe, is an elevated art form that shapes the world as it pleases. Four Walls and a Roof turns this fiction on its head, offering a candid account of what it’s really like to work as an architect. Drawing on his own tragicomic experiences in the field, Reinier de Graaf reveals the world of contemporary architecture in vivid snapshots: from the corridors of wealth in London, Moscow, and Dubai to the demolished hopes of postwar social housing in New York and St. Louis. We meet ambitious oligarchs, developers for whom architecture is nothing more than an investment, and layers of bureaucrats, consultants, and mysterious hangers-on who lie between any architect’s idea and the chance of its execution.
Richard Müller Texty

Jeho autorská tvorba je do značnej miery a v rôznych podobách spojená so slovom a práve jednu z týchto podôb predstavuje kniha Müllerových piesňových textov, ktoré do nemalej miery reflektujú aj autorov osobný život – či už ich písal pre skupinu Banket, na svoje sólové albumy, alebo pre iných interpretov.
Notre-Dame - A Short History of the Meaning of Cathedrals
'Two days after Notre Dame burned, I flew to Paris to appear on the TV programme La Grande Librairie for a discussion about cathedrals. The following morning I had breakfast at the Hotel Bristol with my French publisher and she asked me to write a short book about Notre Dame and what it means to all of us. She said she would donate the publisher's profits to the rebuilding fund and, if I wished, I could do the same with my royalties. Yes, I said; of course, I'd love to.'
Ken Follett
In aid of the crucial restoration work to restore Paris's great cathedral, Notre-Dame: A Short History of the Meaning of Cathedrals is a moving, short piece of non-fiction celebrating the stunning history of this beloved building, from Ken Follett, author of the multi-million copy selling Kingsbridge series.
A minimum of 50p per copy on each sale of this book will go to the charity La Fondation du Patrimoine.
Nemísta měst
I nemísta měst mají své příběhy.
Kniha Nemísta měst z různých úhlů zkoumá téma všech opomíjených, pomíjivých a míjených prostorů měst. Některá vznikají nekoncepční výstavbou, jiná jen tím, že chybí důvod k zastavení. Některá nás dráždí a odrazují, v jiných nacházíme únik před předvídatelností veřejného prostoru. Esejistické kapitoly (autorka se v nich opírá o klíčové zdroje z oboru architektury, urbanismu či exaktních urban studies, ale i filozofie, sociologie, ekonomie či geografie) uvozují povídková „zastavení“, která umožní na problematiku nahlédnout v rozšířené perspektivě. Rob se zabydlí v nevyužívaném prostoru železničního křížení na periferii Londýna. Chang opustí tradiční rolničení a začne třídit plasty, s jejichž špínou a zápachem žije v důvěrné blízkosti. Pro Ramiho je uprchlický tábor vězením s unavenou nadějí na útěk. Ale je zde i řada dalších, pro které je potřeba vztahu s místem zásadní. Skrze místo, jeho historii a charakter totiž objevujeme to, čemu se říká domov, „naše místo“ ve světě. Jsou nemísta součástí přirozeného vývoje měst a v éře toků a sítí nutností, nebo jsou naopak důsledkem našeho selhání a bezradnosti? Téma, které autorka pojednává, nechybně zaujme odbornou veřejnost (urbanisty, architekty, sociology), ale díky svému propojení s příběhy i další vnímavé čtenáře.
Visions of the Bauhaus Books
The 14 Bauhaus books, edited by Walter Gropius and László Moholy-Nagy, were published between 1925 and 1930. Their authors discussed design principles, practices, and artistic approaches from various perspectives. Johannes Rinkenburger has examined and researched the contents and key concepts of this avant-garde series of books along with their backgrounds and context and elaborates their application and importance for current design schools. Based on design experiments, new links and correlations are established and methods shown that reveal, and apply the legacy of Bauhaus, one of the historically most important design schools worldwide, to contemporary design. In the visual illustrations, which make up a large part of the publication, individual concepts and methods of the Bauhaus books are combined, contemplated on and implemented using today's graphic design methods and techniques.
Amerika
Fotografická kniha Amerika je sestavena z černobílých dokumentárních fotografií. Dějiny fotografického dokumentárního zobrazování Ameriky jsou téměř stejně dlouhé jako je historie fotografie sama.

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.

Heroes of the Sea
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.

Featuring 170 new selections--a greater representation of women, artists of color and artists from around the world--this updated volume reflects the inclusionary ethos of the newly expanded museum.
MoMA Highlights presents a rich chronological overview of the art of the past 150 years, beginning with a photograph made around 1867 and concluding in 2017, with an Oscar-nominated documentary film.

Each work is represented by a vibrant image and a short, lively and informative text, many of which have been newly written or significantly revised for this edition. Published to accompany the opening of the museum's new and expanded collection galleries in 2019, MoMA Highlights is an indispensable survey of one of the world's premier collections of "the art of our time."
Silver. Skate. Seventies.
In the 1970s, photographer Hugh Holland masterfully captured the burgeoning culture of skateboarding against a sometimes harsh but always sunny Southern California landscape. This never-before-published collection showcases his black-and-white photographs that document young skateboarders sidewalk surfing off Mulholland Drive in concrete drainage ditches and empty swimming pools in a drought-ridden Southern California. From suburban backyard haunts to the asphalt streets that connected them, this was the place that inspired the legendary Dogtown and Z-Boys skateboarders.
With their requisite bleached-blond hair, tanned bodies, tube socks and Vans, these young outsiders evoke the sometimes reckless but always exhilarating origins of skateboarding lifestyle and culture.

Tak mnoho, tak málo / So Much, So Little
Mnohdy dosud nepublikované syrové fotografie Vladimíra Birguse ukazují život v československých městech, ale i v Moskvě, Varšavě, Tallinu, Rize, Sofii a dalších metropolích sovětských satelitů v 70. a 80. letech.
S ironickým odstupem a výrazně subjektivním zobrazením ukazují tehdejší devastaci prostředí i lidí, kontrast mezi optimisticky laděnou komunistickou propagandou a neutěšenou realitou i mezi oficiálním a soukromým světem. Kurátor fotografické sbírky Uměleckoprůmyslového muzea v Praze Jan Mlčoch o nich napsal: Nejsou prvoplánově politické, zachycují vratké bloudící postavy, zamlklé a podmračené ženy v jejich pachtění po zboží, kterého není dost nebo není vůbec. Města byla chátrajícími kulisami (zdánlivě) nezvratitelných lidských osudů. Černobílé fotografie se svojí škálou šedí dokonale vystihují neměnnost dní a nocí. Kniha vychází s textem sociologa Jiřího Siostrzonka.
