Skyhorse Publishing Searching for the Snow Leopard: Guardian of the
Book SynopsisA stunning visual and personal journey in search of the iconic big cat, the snow leopard. The snow leopard, known as the ghost of the mountains, is an elusive predator that has captured the human imagination for eons. Yet, by nature secretive, living at altitudes of up to 19,000 feet in one of the world's harshest environments, it is notoriously difficult to see. Those lucky enough to encounter one speak of the experience as momentous, transformative, even spiritual. In this handsomely illustrated, eloquent book, published in partnership with the Snow Leopard Conservancy, world-renowned wildlife photographers, naturalists, and conservationists take the reader closer than most humans will ever get to knowing snow leopards and understanding why these beautiful big cats have for so long been considered the most mysterious of all. More than 130 breathtaking photographs — all taken in the wild, and none with camera traps — accompany personal narratives and anecdotes that convey the experience of learning to see; the patient pursuit, following the tracks and other sign for a momentary glimpse; an unexpected encounter; watching the predator hunt; a magical moment with a mother and her cubs. A special "seek and find" section challenges readers to spot the snow leopard--to discern camouflage from rock and snow. The text also relates the natural history of the snow leopard, its cultural significance and place in lore, its interactions with local peoples, and information about its conservation. Royalties from the sales of Searching for the Snow Leopard support the Snow Leopard Conservancy and its programs.

Part amusing travelogue, part scenic showcase, Golfing the British Isles: The Weekend Warrior's Companion brims with the same beauty, character, and sheer fun exemplified by the courses it depicts.Featuring breathtaking photography from Gary Lisbon alongside insightful commentary and practical guidance, this distinctive book will have golf enthusiasts packing their clubs, booking tee times, and charting their own pilgrimage in celebration of this singular game.

Rizzoli International Publications Mademe
Book SynopsisThrough images both intimate and provocative Erin Magee, founder of MadeMe, presents the first comprehensive monograph of the one of first streetwear brands ?by girls for girls.?MadeMe rose to acclaim during a time when female andqueer perspectives were missing from the streetwear landscape. Inspired by the energy of the 1990s when a female-first ethos was actively shaping music, clothing and culture, Magee has fostered the same spirit of enthusiasm for a new generation of it-girls, championing a truly singular and radically instinctive take on femininity.In the brand?s early days, Magee enlisted the likes of Coco Gordon-Moore (Kim Gordon?s daughter) and Princess Nokia to star in campaigns while mentoring industry heavyweights like Paloma Elsesser, Lourdes Leon, Amandla Stenberg, and Beatrice Domond. The brand''s essence is reinforced by these dynamic, emotionally charged interactions with females across generations becoming more of an ecosystem than a brand. The MadeMe girl is radical because she rebels against the concept of who society says she should be, she is defiant because she is true?this feeling is always embodied through the garments she wears and the choices she makes. Communicating through ideas and interests across music, art, fashion, and culture, MadeMe has collaborated with the likes of Doc Martens, Nike, Fruits, Vans, Converse, and X-Girl, translating its youthful design language to like-minded audiences through energetic design codes. Arranged by pure feeling rather than in a traditional chronological order, this publication features an extensive range of voices and talents harnessed by the brand over the years including artwork by musician, Cody Critcheloe (SSION), artists, Ally Bo, Shana Sadeghi-Ray, Aneko, and photographer, Petra Collins.

In 2015, Zhu included a prototype edition in his exhibition New Arrivals at FOAM Amsterdam: a wall calendar depicting the artist's mother in a series of Chinese glamour photoshoots. Almost a decade after its making, 5b is proud to publish the work in a new format, devised in close collaboration with the artist. The sequence begins on September 1972the month and year of the artist's mother's birth, the year of the Mouseand continues on a twelve-year cycle, spanning 132 years. Across each page, she is presented anew, surrounded by messages of love and longing: a new outfit, a new scenario, a new momentever beautiful, ever hopeful. Titled The September Issue, the project constitutes an early example of Zhu's interest in working with family members, using their images and his own to reassess and reimagine nuclear familial archetypes, approaching them, in his own words, as a set of characters or agents that can reconstruct a scene, that exists halfway between a symbolic plane and an affective one.Bruno Zhu lives and works between Portugal and the Netherlands. Recent projects include presentations at Veronica in Seattle, What Pipeline in Detroit, Kunstinstituut Melly in Rotterdam, Kunsthalle Zurich in Zurich, Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin, Tai Kwun in Hong Kong, and Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève in Geneva.
