Adrian Rohnfelder is the first photographer to climb the seven highest volcanoes on the continents and photographically documents his journey
The Volcanic 7 Summits are one of the last great and unknown adventures in the history of mountaineering
Seven unique adventures in seven landscapes, to seven cultures on seven continents
By bike high above the steaming rainforests in the Kilimanjaro massif; through the burning heat of the Atacama Desert in Chile to the summit of Ojos del Salado; In the no man's land of the Antarctic, on the spectacularly glaciated Mount Sidley, so remote that only a handful of people ever saw it.
Adrian Rohnfelder, travel and adventure photographer, is one of the first ever to climb the seven highest volcanoes on the continents. Because since 2008, the "firework virus" grabbed him on Indonesia, the glowing giants have not let go of him. The aim is not the summit itself, but the photos that emerge on his travels there.
In “Volcanic 7 Summits” he tells the story of his spectacular trips. Because every landscape that he visits is unique, every culture that he encounters is matchless. The result is an illustrated book, which not only portrays the beauty of the mountains and the fiery spectacle of the volcanoes, but above all impressively shows us the versatility of the planet. And it keeps reminding us that it's often less than a stone's throw from fire to ice.
Adrian Rohnfelder, born in 1968, is a German landscape, travel and adventure photographer with a passion for fire and ice. Since 2005, he has focused on reporting his travels to the most remote places on the planet. His focus has been on volcanoes since the "fireworks virus" caught him in Indonesia in 2008. His last project: Climbing the highest volcanoes of the seven continents.
Adrian Rohnfelder is visionary and ambassador of Olympus, writes for magazines, gives lectures and is a sought-after guest on talk shows. He lives in Bad Homburg, Germany.
A multitude of photographs and architectural drawings illustrate the rehabilitation process of over 30 projects, from concept to construction
Informative material provides ideas for home improvements that can add to a property’s value
Homeowners, designers, architects, and builders will be inspired and informed by the creative and instructive ideas included in the book
The book is a compendium of homes, including apartments and single-family houses, that have been remodeled to suit contemporary lifestyle needs.Rehabilitations of living spaces are often done to reanimate existing constructions that, over time, have become impractical, if not obsolete. The challenge is to adapt these existing buildings to contemporary standards while maintaining what might still be useful or what we like about them. Most old buildings are very compartmentalized, reflecting the human habits of their time and the available building technology. Nowadays, we like to live in much more open and airy spaces—and new building methods allow for the removal of walls that ultimately free up space. We renovate and upgrade living spaces to various degrees, ranging anywhere from upgrading fixtures and appliances to removing and reconstructing walls and expanding buildings. While extensive work is sometimes required, these rehabilitations can result in stunning transformations. Many add comfort and increase utility, not to mention that the investment generally adds value to the property. This inspirational book showcases a range of rehabili- tated projects, from ones that begin by totally stripping out interiors to a clean slate, to less extensive work that might be limited to cosmetic changes or simple finish and fixture upgrades. Existing dwellings have proved themselves flexible to changing necessities, and they are key to the regeneration of our living environment.

The concept of clean eating is becoming increasingly popular among adults, however it is children who are the most vulnerable to additives and nasty toxins such as sugar, found in unhealthy, processed, and fast food. Because children are still growing and developing, it's important they consume adequate vitamins and nutrients through their diets. Children are, after all, our future.
The concept is simple: using fresh ingredients in their most natural state. We say goodbye to gluten, wheat germ, refined sugar, and genetically modified oils, as these can be addictive, acidic, deplete energy, and can cause sluggishness, mood swings, and hyperactive behaviour in children. Feeding the Future is a glossy lifestyle/cookbook filled with inspiring recipes that all children - from those aged two to grown-up "kidults" - will love.
These recipes are clean, nutritious, and delicious, as well as being easy to make. The book is the perfect tool for health-conscious and time-poor parents.

In Halldor Laxness' novel Under the Glacier, the protagonist travels from Reykjavik to the mythical volcano at the Snaefellsjoekull glacier, a place in whose shadow "words cease to have even the slightest meaning." This could be a leitmotif for Jurgen Wettke's Iceland images. Whereas language can hardly convey the majesty and beauty of a landscape, the photographs in ICELAND - Nature of the North speak volumes in their eloquence. Wettke's photographic journey across the volcanic island is guided by nature's elemental forces: he shows us the diverse forms of fire, water, air, light, and earth. Whether the structures of lava flows, sculptural ice formations, or nature's artworks, aurora borealis, lighting up the sky-Jurgen Wettke's photography brings us closer to these wonders of nature. We discover Iceland in an entirely new and breathtaking way!

As detached from reality as you ll let them be, these images will stay with you long after the final page has been turned
One of a handful of artists to emerge from Andy Warhol's celebrity-focused Interview magazine, Matthew Rolston is a well-established icon of Hollywood photography. Alongside such luminaries as Herb Ritts and Greg Gorman, Rolston was a member of an influential group of photographers (among them, Bruce Weber, Annie Leibovitz, and Steven Meisel) who came from the 1980s magazine scene. Rolston helped define the era's take on celebrity image-making, gender bending, and much more. Edited by Los Angeles-based gallerist and curator David Fahey, this book, Rolston's fourth monograph, presents a stunning array of portraits that beautifully capture the decade and its myriad talents. From Michael Jackson and Madonna, to Prince, George Michael, and Cyndi Lauper, the images reflect a seamless blend of style, skill, and scintillation.
India is constantly on the move. It moves sideways, backwards, upwards, and forwards. It is a nation of both past and future, where time seems to pass by its own laws, and extraordinary tradition coexists with hyper modernity and ever-booming construction.
For many, India is as much a state of mind as a country. Through this photographic journey of discovery, Andreas H. Bitesnich creates a fascinating book about India, revealing many facets of this intricate, populous country.
In color, black-and-white, and sepia, his stunning photographs show Indian culture, food, faith, heritage, landmarks, cities, and wildlife, as well as its daily interactions and centuries-old monuments. The images do not shy away from the complexity and raw hardship of Indian life. With honesty and respect, Bitesnich documents the country's ongoing struggles as much as its vibrancy and growth.
We see India's temples and mosques, its wild Indian elephants, its extraordinary architecture, and its deep spirituality. And we see its urban sprawl, its squalor, its street poverty, and suffering. The result is a photo book immersed in the Indian present and complexity, while steeped in the texture and gravitas of a bygone travel album.
Robert Mapplethorpe's influence as an artist has grown steadily since his untimely death in 1989. In honour of his work, seven extraordinary contemporary artists - David Hockney, Vik Muniz, Catherine Opie, Sterling Ruby, Cindy Sherman, Hedi Slimane, and Robert Wilson - each in turn reviewed Mapplethorpe's entire body of work over the course of seven years to select those that personally resonated. The result was the groundbreaking series of exhibitions documented in this book, which also features intensive interviews conducted by Richard Flood, noted curator of the New Museum of Contemporary Art (New York).
This beautiful and compelling presentation offers bold new insights into Mapplethorpe's genius and his lasting impact on contemporary art.

George Clooney is not one for long-term relationships. But what's remained beyond the grasp of any woman to date was no problem for the pot-bellied pig Max: before it died in 2006, Max had spent 18 years at the side of the "Sexiest Man Alive." Even half a century ago, the photographer Edward Quinn recognised that the relationship between stars and their pets is a special one. On the Cote d'Azur - the Mecca of the 1950s and 1960s jet set - he managed to create some of his most personal celebrity portraits in the presence of their pets. Often shy and always on guard against fair-weather friends, our glimpses of stars in Celebrity Pets alongside their animal companions are unusually approachable and natural: Picasso romping around with his dogs, Kabul and Lump, or the writer Somerset Maugham on all fours, face to face with his Pekingese, Chin. And we see the mongrel Guapa in a situation that every man of the world would have dreamed of: in bed with Brigitte Bardot.
