From well-known portraits of Monaco’s “beautiful people” to rarely seen landscapes, this collection of images documents two decades of Helmut Newton’s love affair with the sun-kissed world of the French Riviera.
Helmut Newton was in his sixties and already a well-established photographer when he and his wife moved to the French Riviera. At an age when many people would consider retirement, Newton instead plunged headfirst into one of the most prolific and liberating stages of his career. The city of Monaco was the perfect backdrop for his fashion photography, and it also provided him with a wealth of subjects for his famous portraits, including the stars of the Ballet de Monte-Carlo and the Princely Family. And it was in Monaco that Newton finally tried his hand at landscapes. While this volume focuses primarily on the years 1981 to 2004, it also looks at Newton’s historic links with the Côte d’Azur and the area around Bordighera, Italy. There are essays by a range of experts in photography, film, and art and three interviews, including one with Paloma Picasso. In these remarkable photographs readers will discover the French Riviera through Newton’s fascinated, slightly ironic lens: a way of life characterized by ease and elegance; a world dominated by appearance and superficiality; and a veritable living theater, in which he was both actor and privileged member of the audience.
This generously illustrated volume on the work of Paul Cézanne makes the world’s greatest art accessible to readers of every level of appreciation. Widely regarded as the bridging link between late 19th-century Impressionism and Cubism, Cézanne’s work is characterized by his intense study of his subjects. Overflowing with impeccably reproduced images, this book offers full-page spreads of masterpieces as well as highlights of smaller details, allowing the viewer to appreciate every aspect of the artist’s technique and oeuvre.
These days getting away from it all also means escaping the mundane atmosphere of big resorts and cookie-cutter experiences. Whether you are searching for a truly unique getaway in a beautiful corner of the world or looking for inspiration when designing your own home, this book is bursting with stunning ideas and locales. The 40 hotels profiled have only a few rooms and you won't find them in traditional travel guides.
The breathtaking photography captures the hotel's character, its architectural features, and the surrounding landscape. There are wilderness retreats such as Pumphouse Point in the middle of a Tasmanian lake and Mediterranean escapes such as Tainaron Blue, a stone tower in the Peloponnesian Islands. There are hidden gems in busy cities-Ottantotto Frienze in Florence, the Trunk House in Tokyo, and Los Angeles's Hotel Covell; edge-of- the-world experiences like Deplar Farm in Iceland and Sheldon Chalet in Alaska; and peaceful desert solitude at Amangiri in Utah and Namibia's Shipwreck Lodge.
This volume also features architectural splendors such as the cedar and adobe huts of Punta Caliza in Isla Holbox, Mexico, and Free Spirit Spheres, a group of circular treehouses in a forest on Vancouver Island. A valuable resource for the discriminating traveler, as well as a source book for designers and architects, this collection of one-of-a-kind hotels offers relief to anyone overwhelmed by our busy and crowded world.
Here is a comprehensive, accessible and authoritative illustrated reference to the history, art and science of photography. In one single, elegant volume, it features over 300 iconic photographs and contains more than 1,200 concise yet fully detailed entries on all aspects of the subject. Though much information can today be found online, locating it takes time and sources can have questionable provenance and uncertain academic credentials.
All previous dictionaries of photography are now outdated, as well, focusing either on the famous and influential practitioners of the genre or presented as mere glossaries of technical terms. This landmark publication, newly available in paperback, is the culmination of ten years of development and research. Working with an international expert panel of 150 consultants and 79 researchers, Nathalie Herschdorfer has triumphed in creating the first source of information for all scholars, practitioners and collectors of photography to turn to in the future.
Florence's debut book will explore all progressive corners of the feminist conversation; from insecurity projection and refusing to find comfort in other women's flaws, to deciding whether to date or dump them, all the way through to unpacking the male gaze and how it shapes our identity.
WOMEN DON'T OWE YOU PRETTY is an accessible leap into feminism, for people at all stages of their journey who are seeking to reshape and transform the way they view themselves. In a world that tells women we're either not enough or too much, it's time we stop directing our anger and insecurities onto ourselves, and start fighting back to re-shape the toxic structures of our patriarchal society.
Florence's book will help you to tackle and challenge the limiting narrative you have been bombarded with your whole life, and determine feminism on your own terms. After all, you are the love of your own life.
"Undeniably one of the most influential innovations of the modern world, the car has revolutionized manufacturing and transformed how we move, forever changing our landscapes, cities, environments and economies. With each revolution, each transformation, have come almost unmatched impacts upon wider culture, changing not only the way we live, but the ways we look at and consider the world around us. The influence of the car upon photography and the work created by photographers since the early 20th century can be clearly traced through the V&A's photography collection.
Autofocus explores the deep cultural significance and impact of the car on the history of photography, playing a role both as subject matter and as a genuine creative vehicle - the means by which photographers have accomplished many of their great works. Written by Marta Weiss, Senior Curator of Photographs at the V&A, and published to coincide with the opening in November 2019 of the exhibition 'Cars: Accelerating the Modern World', Autofocus presents over 100 photographs, supported by commentaries and an introduction of c. 1,500 words, that span from the early years of the automobile to the present day.
For both photography and car-loving audiences, Autofocus illustrates the ascendance of the car as a cultural icon, and the ways in which it has shaped the world around and ahead of us.

At a time when individual rights are being contested and when those on the fringes of society feel deeply threatened, this powerful photographic compilation delivers a message of humanity and inclusiveness that transcends geopolitical and cultural boundaries. Works by critically acclaimed photographers including Bruce Davidson, Paz Errazuriz, Jim Goldberg, Danny Lyon, Mary Ellen Mark, Boris Mikhailov, Daido Moriyama, and Dayanita Singh cast a compassionate, unflinching eye on the worlds inhabited by transsexuals, hookers, hustlers, bikers, junkies, circus performers, gang members, survivalists, petty criminals, and others who live in the shadows, on the streets, and out of the public eye. Grouped by photographer and ranging in genre from portraiture to photojournalism, these images were selected for their authentic and humane perspective, as well as for their artistic brilliance.
An important testament to photography's power to both expose injustice and provide affirmation for those outside the norm, this collection bears witness to the ways social attitudes change across time and space, and how visual representation can promote understanding and dialogue.

Celem monografii jest wykazanie, że wyznaczeni operatorzy pocztowi mogą stać się istotnym ogniwem w procesie zabezpieczenia przepływu informacji w ramach poszczególnych składowych infrastruktury krytycznej oraz świadczenia e-usług w gospodarce cyfrowej, przez poszerzenie swoich kompetencji na bazie wieloletniego do[1]świadczenia w zakresie zabezpieczania przesyłu informacji. W monografii przedstawiono zmiany zachodzące w obecnej gospodarce, która nosi miano gospodarki cyfrowej. Zaprezentowano kluczowe megatrendy, które w sposób istotny wpływają na szeroko rozumiany sektor pocztowy, ze szczególnym uwzględnieniem rynku pocztowego. Podjęto także próbę odpowiedzi na pytanie badawcze, dotyczące przyszłego modelu działalności podmiotów sektora pocztowego. W pierwszej części monografii dokonano konceptualizacji pojęcia gospodarki cyfrowej, co pozwoliło na wieloaspektowe zdefiniowanie tego pojęcia. Następnie dokonano analizy infrastruktury krytycznej, jej funkcji i zadań. Zaproponowano model wykorzystania infrastruktury wyznaczonego operatora pocztowego, który jako integrator, byłby podmiotem usprawniającym przepływ informacji pomiędzy pozostałymi składowymi infrastruktury krytycznej. Autorzy dokonali także prezentacji specyfiki rynku i usług pocztowych. Wszystkie powyższe analizy stanowiły punkt wyjścia do przeprowadzenia badania, które pozwoliło na przedstawienie potencjału wyznaczonego operatora pocztowego zarówno w kontekście cyfryzacji i rozwoju e-usług, jak i wykorzystania infrastruktury do zapewnienia ciągłości działania całej infrastruktury krytycznej państwa. W ostatniej części monografii autorzy skoncentrowali się na wyzwaniach, które stoją przed rynkiem pocztowym. Odniesiono się do megatrendów, które oddziałują na nowe kierunki rozwoju usług pocztowych, w kontekście ostatniej mili, e-usług czy też ekonomii współdzielenia. Ze wstępu
Andrzej Bobola herbu Leliwa, ksiądz, zakonnik, dziś patron Polski, żył w latach 1591-1657 w niebywale burzliwym czasie wielkich zagrożeń dla Ojczyzny i Kościoła katolickiego. Zginął w sposób szczególnie okrutny z rąk Kozaków, którzy chcieli mu nawet darować życie pod warunkiem wyrzeczenia się przezeń wiary katolickiej. Mimo wyjątkowo bestialskich tortur - odmówił. Umierał w strasznych męczarniach. Ginęło wtedy wielu katolików na wschodzie Rzeczypospolitej Obojga Narodów; grzebano ich pospiesznie, szybko zapominano o miejscach pochówku. Tak samo było z o. Andrzejem Bobolą, który jednak w 1702 r. ukazał się jako zakonnik w Pińsku i poprosił o odnalezienie jego trumny. 19 kwietnia tegoż roku trumna została rzeczywiście odnaleziona. Po jej otwarciu okazało się, że zwłoki Męczennika w ogóle nie mają oznak rozkładu! Obok samego objawienia był to widomy znak od Niebios, że Męczennik jest ich wybrańcem. Przybyły z zaświatów o. Andrzej Bobola obiecał wówczas mieszkańcom Pińska, że wybawi ich z rąk szwedzkich żołdaków, którzy pustoszyli kraj podczas wojny północnej. Dotrzymał słowa, Pińsk cudem ocalał. Tak jak za życia - również po śmierci Bobola się nie poddał. Stwierdzenie to może wydawać się dziwne, ale tylko tym, którzy nie znają losów tego dzielnego księdza i wielkiego patrioty. Książka ta przybliża koleje jego dramatycznego życia oraz późniejszych niezwykłych objawień, które dokonują się po dzień dzisiejszy! Objawienia te związane były (i są) zawsze z intencją ratowania Ojczyzny. Np. w 1819 r. o. Bobola budził nadzieje Polaków, przepowiadając, że po wielkiej wojnie odzyskają niepodległość. Jak wiemy, stało się to faktycznie po I wojnie światowej w 1918 r. Za każdym razem o. Andrzej Bobola, który w 1853 r. został beatyfikowany, a w 1937 r. kanonizowany, jawi się jako orędownik spraw narodowych. Ostatnie zjawienie Męczennika odbyło się 1 maja 2020 r. Książka jest opowieścią o człowieku niezłomnym choć pełnym sprzeczności, o świętym, o wielkim orędowniku naszej Ojczyzny w Niebie. Dzieje św. Andrzeja Boboli rzucone zostały na tło historii Rzeczypospolitej, co czyni ją szczególnie barwną i zarazem pouczającą. Potrzebujemy dzisiaj mocnego świadectwa wiary płynącego nie z deklaracji, ale przede wszystkim z postawy życia. Na obecne trudne czasy trudno o lepszy wzór, o lepszy przykład dla nas wierzących niż urodzony w Strachocinie św. Andrzej Bobola. Książka ta, którą przeczytacie jednym tchem, pomaga w odróżnieniu prawdy od fałszu, dobra od zła, wolności od zniewolenia, tworzenia od niszczenia, kultury życia od cywilizacji śmierci. Opowieść wzbogaca 170 starannie dobranych ilustracji.
During a time of development and change that has the potential to transform the unique character of London's Soho, this book delves into the area's storied past as a place of disobedience and eccentricity. Opening with a look at Soho through the years, this book includes archival images of Suffragettes learning Jiu-jitsu in a Soho gym, David Bowie preparing to record at Trident Studios and Francis Bacon drinking at the French House. The book then presents the work of photographers who have shed light on Soho's many faces through the decades, including Kelvin Brodie, Clancy Gebler Davies, Corinne Day, William Klein, and Anders Petersen.
Also featured is a new series of work by young, up-and-coming photographer Daragh Soden, whose images were specially commissioned by The Photographers' Gallery for this project. These streetscapes and portraits are by turns intimate and haunting, visceral and vibrant, nostalgic and provocative. Throughout the volume, texts narrate a social history marked by subculture and controversy.
This book captures Soho as a refuge for marginalized, pioneering, and unconventional people.
In the 17th century, Amsterdam was a vibrant hub of the burgeoning European trade with Asia, Africa, and the Levant, importing copious amounts of foreign items that powerfully stimulated the imagination of numerous Dutch artists. This was notably the case with Rembrandt, whose curiosity and voraciousness as a collector were legendary in his time. Throughout his prolific career, he drew on Eastern influences in genres as diverse as history painting and portraiture, including depictions in which he himself adopted Oriental styled attire.
This lavishly illustrated book explores the inventive ways in which Rembrandt and his contemporaries accommodated Eastern imagery into their own repertoire, set within the wider context of Holland's rapidly expanding commercial and cultural exchange with its non-European trading partners.
Humanity has always used symbols-material objects used to denote difficult, abstract concepts-to describe thoughts and feelings, or to protect secret truths from common knowledge. This concise A-Z guide is a fascinating work of reference that brings to light all the symbols and symbolisms of the world, many aspects of which have been lost to time, including Freemasonry, the Kabbalah, the tarot, astrology, alchemy, Zoroastrianism, and ancient cultures from Egypt to Japan.
ALAN RICKMAN was one of the world-class actors of his generation, as well as a tireless political activist, an avid traveller and a devoted confidant and friend. Through his never-before-seen diaries - a twenty-five-year passion project - Rickman invites readers backstage and into his life.
Alan Rickman remains one of the most beloved actors of all time across almost every genre, from his breakout role as Die Hard's villainous Hans Gruber to his heart-wrenching run as Professor Severus Snape, and beyond. His air of dignity, his sonorous voice and the knowing wit he brought to each role continue to captivate new audiences today.
But Rickman's artistry wasn't confined to just his performances. Rickman's writing details the extraordinary and the ordinary in a way that is anecdotal, indiscreet, witty, gossipy and utterly candid. He takes us behind the scenes on films and plays ranging from Sense & Sensibility, the Harry Potter series, Private Lives, My Name is Rachel Corrie and many more.
The diaries run from 1993 to his death in 2016 and offer insight into both a public and private life. Here is Rickman the consummate professional actor, but also the friend, the traveller, the fan, the director, the enthusiast: in short, the real Alan Rickman. Here is a life fully lived, all detailed in intimate and characteristically plain-spoken prose. Reading the diaries is like listening to Rickman chatting to a close friend.
Madly, Deeply also includes a selection of Rickman's early diaries, dating from 1974 to 1982, when his acting life first began, with a foreword from Emma Thompson.
Philip Davies's first bestselling book Lost London, 1870–1945, published in 2009, mesmerised readers with the wealth of information conveyed in its early photographs of London. While the primary focus was on the built environment, the demeanour and dress of people in the photographs left an indelible impression on all who scanned its pages.
More than ten years later, London The Great Transformation, 1860-1920 opens a new window on Lost London’s themes, buildings and streets; this time with nearly twice as many historic photographs from 25 different archives that illuminate London’s transition from a rambling collection of villages and motley larger buildings – from stone built churches to timber framed mediaeval structures – into an imperial capital which was the largest and wealthiest city in the world. Here we see the crooked alleys off narrow streets that would be flattened and replaced by broad avenues and dramatic vistas that amazed London’s inhabitants then and still do today when seen in their construction and pristine locations thanks to the photographers’ works reproduced in high quality in this authoritative book.
Broadcaster and architectural historian, Dan Cruickshank comments in his foreword:
“this book brings together images that, like the missing pieces of a vast jigsaw puzzle, can now be assembled to allow us to see a fuller picture of the metropolis in the throes of great change.”
Famed American actress Demi Moore at last tells her own story in a surprisingly intimate and emotionally charged memoir.
For decades, Demi Moore has been synonymous with celebrity. From iconic film roles to high-profile relationships, Moore has never been far from the spotlight – or the headlines.
Even as Demi was becoming the highest paid actress in Hollywood, however, she was always outrunning her past, just one step ahead of the doubts and insecurities that defined her childhood. Throughout her rise to fame and during some of the most pivotal moments of her life, Demi battled addiction, body image issues, and childhood trauma that would follow her for years – all while juggling a skyrocketing career and at times negative public perception. As her success grew, Demi found herself questioning if she belonged in Hollywood, if she was a good mother, a good actress – and, always, if she was simply good enough.
As much as her story is about adversity, it is also about tremendous resilience. In this deeply candid and reflective memoir, Demi pulls back the curtain and opens up about her career and personal life – laying bare her tumultuous relationship with her mother, her marriages, her struggles balancing stardom with raising a family, and her journey toward open heartedness. Inside Out is a story of survival, success, and surrender – a wrenchingly honest portrayal of one woman's at once ordinary and iconic life.
This book is a way to release what's going on inside your head and to keep heading towards the good stuff. The simple stuff. The stuff that's going to really hit up that happiness on a deep and nourishing level.
Whether you dip into these pages every now and then when you feel you need it, or use it daily as a positive exercise, I hope it brings you much relief, joy and calm. Amen to the pen." - Fearne Cotton For many of us, life can feel like it's moving too fast with pressure bearing down on us from all sides - whether that's from school or work, family or social media. As a result, we find ourselves frazzled, lost and - too often - feeling blue.
It's a subject close to Fearne's heart. Drawing on her own experiences and including expert advice, HAPPY offers practical ways of finding joy each and every day. Happiness isn't a mountain to climb, it's just one foot in front of the other on the path of life, and here you'll find little steps that will help make the differences that count.
With workbook elements to help you start and end the day well; get in touch with your creative side; and find peace through written exercises, simple practical ideas and visualisations, these are daily tricks and reminders to help you unlock that inner happiness.
"Everything is art. Everything is politics," says internationally renowned artist Ai Weiwei. His statement informs this comprehensive book that features sculptural installations, photographs, and videos from every aspect of the artist's forty- year career and touches on many contemporary social issues.
The works featured in the book include Straight, Ai's gigantic installation made from 150 tons of rebar salvaged from the 2008 Sichuan earthquake, which comments on governmental corruption and negligence, and Sunflower Seeds for which the artist filled the enormous Turbine Hall of London's Tate Modern with 100,000,000 porcelain seeds, each made by Chinese craftspeople. Also highlighted are his most recent works addressing the refugee crisis, such as Laundromat and Life Cycle; his provocative ventures into social media; and several early works. Wide-ranging and penetrating, this collection of Ai's most important work to date illustrates the depth of his conviction that art is most powerful when it raises awareness and incites change.
