Astounding aerial photographs revealing an immense and
unsuspected wealth of color hidden behind Ireland's green facade.
Yellow islands of gorse, the turquoise edges of the western coast,
the algae borders of the winter lakes varying in color from green
to orange, deserted islands overgrown with rust brown ferns and
deserts of black peat bogs.

One hundred and fifty years ago travelling with a camera was both a
novelty and an enormous challenge. The intrepid photographers who
took their cameras to remote corners of the world brought back
images which amazed their peers. Photographer and historian John
Hannavy has recreated some of their epic journeys - travelling to
Scotland along the route followed by William Henry Fox Talbot in
1844; recreating Charles Kinnear and Thomas Melville Raven's 1857
journeys to France; exploring the Nile from Cairo to Abu Simbel
along the route Francis Frith followed between 1856 and 1859;
travelling through Russia and the Ukraine as Roger Fenton did in
1852 and 1855; across India from Calcutta to Simla following Samuel
Bourne's 1863 account of his travels; and exploring China and
Cyprus as John Thomson did between 1863 and 1878.This beautifully
illustrated book contrasts the Victorian world with our own, and
looks at how our view of the world has changed in the intevening
years. It chronicles the developments which have taken place in
travel, architecture, culture, and of course photography itself.
Carried on the Wind is a collection of paintings and pencil works
depicting the wildlife of southern Africa.
It is not a journal or an exhibition of art; it is simply a reflection
of an artist’s memoirs reaching back over half a century. It is the
wish of the author to allow the reader, whether he or she has had the
privilege of visiting our shores, to share in the marvels that this
exquisite continent has to offer and gain a deeper understanding of the
life that it carries.

Even today Universities adhere to a time-honoured hierarchy of
professors, readers, lecturers, demonstrators, and technicians - a
structure first established in the European anatomical 'theatres'
of the 16th and 17th centuries. These were the players in the
theatre of anatomy, but inevitably it was the cadaver that took
centre stage. In Anatomy Lessons, Karen Ingham explores anatomy
theatres and dissecting rooms in Edinburgh, Dublin, London, and
Padua - and discovers spaces in which the notion of surface is
probed and dissected in the search to create structure and meaning
- to find what lies beneath. The body is a ghostly presence - yet
in the theatre of anatomy even the lifeless stage may be imbued
with a sense of drama.
