Book SynopsisWhen you think of Canada do you picture the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains, the sprawling metropolis of Toronto, or its many national parks? Perhaps moose, maple syrup or the vast expanse of the northern territories spring to mind. Canada is blessed with rugged mountains, ancient forests and large cosmopolitan cities; it stretches west from the Atlantic to the Pacific and north to the Arctic Ocean. There is much to discover in this breathtakingly beautiful and vast country. Canada is a fascinating exploration of the second largest country in the world. From Churchill ‘Polar bear capital of the world’ in northern Manitoba to the sleek streets of Toronto – the most populous city in Canada, from the excitement of dog-sledding in Montreal to relaxing on a beach in Vancouver, this book is packed with more than 200 spectacular photographs. Presented in a handy pocket-sized landscape format and with captions explaining the story behind each entry, Canada is a stunning collection of images celebrating this beautiful country.Table of ContentsIntroduction The Atlantic Region St. Johns Goose Bay Cape Spear Jiggs Dinner St Anthony Iceberg Vodka / Iceberg Beer Moose Puffins Elliston Fogo Island Gros Morne National Park Prince Edward Island Anne of Green Gables Red Point National Park Singing Sands Halifax Lobster Peggy’s Cove Old Town Lunenburg Annapolis Valley Whale Watching in Cape Breton Bay of Fundy Kingsbrae Garden Grand Manan Island Cape Enrage Central Canada Ice fishing Maple syrup Saguenay fjord Snowshoeing Poutine Tadoussac Old Quebec Dog sledding Montreal Quebec City Trois-Rivières Niagara Falls Toronto CN Tower Baseball game Ottawa Algonquin Provincial Park Lake Muskoka Burlington Casa Loma Lake Erie The Blue Mountains Mississauga The Prarie Provinces The RCMP Heritage Centre Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park The Churchill River Prince Albert National Park Little Manitou Lake Milton Lake Lodge Remai Modern Art Gallery of Saskatchewan The Forks Polar Bears Churchill Grand Beach Festival du Voyageur Winnipeg Calgary Banff Edmonton Lake Louise Athabasca Glacier Elk Island The West Coast Downtown Vancouver Stanley Park Grouse Mountain Granville Market Victoria Whale-watching Whistler Rockies Pacific Rim National Park Reserve Alaska Highway Raccoons Okanagan Valley Great Bear Rainforest Ice Hockey Capilano Suspension Bridge Vancouver Island The North Iqaluit Naujaat Auyuittuq National Park Sirmilik National Park West Baffin Eskimo Co-Operative Limited Ellesmere Island The Northwest Passage Yellowknife Inuvik Northern Lights Ice Roads Keele River White horse Dawson City Caribou Yukon River

Fonthill Media Ltd Heinrich Himmler: A Photo History of the
Book Synopsis"I was following orders." The answer most commonly quoted by SS men accused of atrocious crimes after Germany had surrendered in 1945. But who gave those orders? Who was the mastermind behind the sophisticated machinery which allowed men from normal family backgrounds to kill on such a scale? The right man at the right time, fate steered Heinrich Himmler to take control of an organisation destined to carry out Hitler's racial policies. This study not only sets out in detail how Heinrich Himmler's daily routine allowed him to implement Nazi strategy, but it also provides illustrations of the man behind much of it, both at work and at home. Of all the personalities of history demonized by post-war writers, Heinrich Himmler ranks among the most reviled. His legacy is one of hatred, violence and cold blooded murder on a vast scale. A Jekyll and Hyde character, variously described by his generation and those who followed as charming, loyal, polite, a pedant, an eccentric, an organizational genius, a fool, a desk killer and a loving father.The camera allows us into his world, albeit temporarily, and we can equate his busy, but mostly mundane schedule with contemporary images frozen in time. What makes this book unique is the astonishing amount of photographic material, following Himmler on his day to day routine. It is a must read for anyone interested in the enigmatic man and the operations of the Third Reich.

Rizzoli International Publications Turn of the Century
Book SynopsisHenry Bourne's photographs of the residences and workspaces of a who's who of creative people open windows onto the groundbreaking design approaches and trends of the last three decades. For nearly thirty years, Bourne has been photographing the residences and studios of, or those designed by, some of the world's most important artists, architects, designers, and innovators. Culture and society are constantly evolving, and changes, both aesthetic and sociological, are reflected in our physical surroundings. Spaces and portraits in this volume range from the Upstate New York studio of artist Richard Prince, Vincent Van Duysen's early apartment in Antwerp, and Marc Newson's residences (his modern former bachelor pad as well as the more textured apartment he shares with Charlotte Stockdale today) to the joyfully chaotic London atelier of artist Paula Rego, the Villa Volpi by architect Tomaso Buzzi near Rome, the London studio of artists Tim Noble and Sue Websterbefore and after its slee

Book Synopsis"An oddly poignant book and a genuine surprise." — Classic Cars Neo Classics® are rare manufactured vehicles, one-of-a-kind high-end cars, special short-run cars, and “young classics.” They are vehicles that become legends — and coveted collectors’ items — the moment they leave the factory. Faster, more powerful, more exclusive: whether they’re called supercars or hypercars, these are turbo-charged fantasies in chrome. For most of us, however, they will remain dreams on wheels. In this book, René Staud brings the dream a little closer.

The images are accompanied by expert texts from the seasoned automotive writer and aficionado, Jürgen Lewandowski. René Staud is considered one of the most sought-after automotive photographers and one of the most innovative in the industry. With the Magicflash® lighting system, he has given not only his art, but studio photography in general an important impulse. He has published six volumes with teNeues. With more than 70,000 copies sold, they are in turn classics of automotive literature. With texts by Jürgen Lewandowski, the automotive section editor of the Süddeutsche Zeitung for over 20 years, and the author of roughly 100 books about cars.

Lars Muller Publishers Big-Game: Everyday Objects
Book SynopsisBIG-GAME is a Swiss design studio founded by three friends in 2004. This book presents their industrial design work on everyday objects. Through anecdotes, diagrams, and pictures made for the publication, the book gives an overview of fifteen years of practice and reveals the pleasure the designers take in creating items that become part of our everyday lives. From a wine bottle sold in supermarkets to a chair in the permanent collection of the MoMA, a set of cutlery for an airline to a timepiece for a Swiss watchmaker, a collaboration with Japanese potters to a piece of furniture sold at Ikea, the charming, humorous, and direct tone they use to explain their work is a fun way to express the industrial design process today. Based on a series of informal interviews, the main text by Anniina Koivu explains the design process within this modern-day design collective. The introduction by Susanne Hilpert Stuber, casts a light on the relationship between BIG-GAME and today's Swiss design industry, and puts it in an international context.

Genesis Publications Jimmy Page: The Anthology
Book Synopsis"Within the contents of this book, I wanted to include items from my personal archive that have played a part in my career over 60 years, to illustrate the detail behind the detail." - Jimmy Page From his early days as a young session musician, through his years on the world stage with Led Zeppelin, to his solo work and collaborations, Jimmy Page has lived a spectacular life in music. Throughout it all, he has amassed an extensive private archive of iconic guitars, stage costumes and personal memorabilia. Now, in The Anthology, Jimmy Page is granting exclusive access to his archive for the first time, and telling the inside story of his phenomenal career. In a new text of over 70,000 words, Jimmy Page guides the reader through hundreds of rare items, many of which are previously unseen, and others of mythic status, such as the Gibson double neck guitar, his dragon-emblazoned suit, his white embroidered poppy suit, and the outfit worn in the concert film The Song Remains the Same. Also included are handwritten diaries, correspondence, rare vinyl pressings, previously unpublished photographs and much, much more. Jimmy Page has personally selected each piece to be photographed in this book, which has been created with his full participation. The result is Jimmy Page: The Anthology. Both reflective and revealing, it is quite simply the legendary musician's most comprehensive and fascinating account of his life to date.Trade ReviewListed as one of Variety's Best Music Books of 2020: 'A lavish tome... photographed in pristine detail.' – Variety Magazine Listed as The Times and The Sunday Times Best Books of 2020: 'A lavish collection of memorabilia, with photographs and details on such totemic items as his Double Neck Guitar and dragon-suit stage outfits' – The Times 'A career deep-dive… it is fully annotated and fascinating. Page has approached the book with the same fastidiousness as he applies to everything' – GQ 'It is a rare entryway into the mind of one of rock’s great men of mystery' – Rolling Stone 'An essential purchase' – Classic Rock 'The lavishly illustrated 400-page book begins with JPs early life and days as a session ace and comes up to date with the recent reissue of the 'Mirror' and 'Dragon' iterations of his Fender Telecaster. It goes way beyond the average gearaholic's dream and is essential reading for any Zeppelin fan' – Guitarist 'Essentially everything you ever needed to know about Jimmy Page is exhaustively catalogued across page, after spectacularly illustrated page, of this supremely crafted high-end compendium. The Anthology is quite simply in a class of its own' – ShingDig! 'This mighty volume is an artistically triumphant companion to his musical achievements' – The Beat Magazine 'What he reveals in Jimmy Page:The Anthology are the secrets of his art, the inner working of Led Zeppelin… how he chose and modified the guitars with which he created the band’s definitive songs' – Total Guitar 'A truly momentous publication, of such rarely seen character and exhaustive research the likes of which probably indicate this will be the final word on the 6/12 string legend' – Gigslutz 'Jimmy Page: The Anthology is a magnificent book, beautifully designed with strong, arresting graphics. It's difficult to overstate the importance or the beauty of the illustrations throughout this narrative. This book both embodies and enriches our understanding of how Jimmy Page the artist came to be and illuminates why his music continues to matter to so many' – Shelf Awareness ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Twin Palms Publishers William Eggleston 2 14
Book SynopsisA tribute to Eggleston's brief experimentation with pocket-sized photographsBorn and raised in Mississippi and Tennessee, photographer William Eggleston began taking pictures in the early 1960s after reading Henri Cartier-Bresson's The Decisive Moment. After switching from black-and-white film to color film in 1966, he occasionally used a two and one quarter inch format for photographs. This collection of square snapshots from 1966 to 1971 invokes the intimate quality of Eggleston's work, while maintaining the vibrance and skill that led Museum of Modern Art curator John Szarkowski to call him the first color photographer. This attractive clothbound, square-shaped hardcover volume includes 45 four-color plates with text by Los-Angeles based novelist and screenwriter Bruce Wagner. Now in its eighth edition, 2 adds more classic Eggleston images to the canon of color photography.William Eggleston (born 1939) encountered photography and
