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.
