Doyle constructs communion ecclesiology as a broad and inclusive
category that makes room for a range of legitimate approaches. He

Henri de Lubac, Yves Congar, Karl Rahner, Hans Urs von Balthasar,
Elizabeth Johnson, Joseph Ratzinger and many others.
Artworks, manuscripts, printed works and wildlife sound recordings
come together in this major compendium of the greatest and
strangest representations of animals on record. Eighty detailed
case studies highlight celebrated works, including John James
Audubon's The Birds of America, Matthew Paris's Liber
additamentorum, Maria Sibylla Merian's Metamorphosis (1705), Mark
Catesby's The Natural History of Carolina, Florida and the Bahama
Islands, as well as letters from Charles Darwin, the Baburnama,
translated by Mirza 'Abd al-Rahim Khan, Japanese printed works by
Hirase Yoichiro (1914-1915), Arabic hippiatric texts and the work
of contemporary artists including Levon Biss and Jethro Buck. Rich,
newly photographed, illustrations bring these works to life, while
interactive QR technology will allow readers to listen to
recordings of the sound exhibits as they read. Expertly edited,
this powerful collection of objects prompt us to consider the
increasing importance of technology and data to our understanding
of humanity's impact on the world's faunal inhabitants.

Jao Tsung-i was China's last great traditional man of letters,
polymath, and pioneer of comparative humanistic inquiry during Hong
Kong's global heyday. Dunhuang is China's traditional northwest
frontier and overland conduit of exchange with the Old World. In
this volume, Jao proposes an entirely new school of Chinese
landscape painting, reconsiders Dunhuang's oldest manuscripts as
its newest research field, and explores topics ranging from
comparative religion to medieval multimedia.

"It stood out for me for a number of reasons. The first, and by far
the most important to me, being that the composition is absolutely
gorgeous." - Tim Clinch, Amateur Photographer "Packed with
compelling visuals and important discussions around some of the
planet's biggest issues, it's an excellent compendium of some of
the world's best photographers working today." - Amateur
Photographer "As compelling in its visuals as it is in its
messaging, Fire is an unforgettable document." - Jonathan McIntosh,
Royal Photographic Society Journal Fire is the fourth element. It
destroys and creates something new. In its heat, colours, and
magnitude, it provides a terrifying spectacle as much as an
existential threat. Today, it speaks as much to the fragility of
human structures as to the damage wrought on nature: the fire at
Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, forest fires from the Amazon to
Australia, and infernos in California so colossal that the sky
turned red. Reason enough for the Prix Pictet, the world's leading
award for photography and sustainability, to dedicate this year's
photo book to the many facets of fire. Selected by photography
experts from around the world, this impressive publication features
100 images from the Prix Pictet shortlist and beyond. As compelling
in its visuals as it is in its messaging, this is an unforgettable
document of an elemental force, and of the increasing extremes of
climate change.
