"It's likely that a book like this is the only way you might see
many of these creatures for yourself." - Amateur Photographer This
book of photographs puts the spotlight on a group of animals that
is little-noticed, and undeservedly so: endemic species that exist
only on their respective islands. Isolated from continents by the
ocean, certain species have been able to evolve further and
differently than their counterparts on the mainland, where they are
subjected to far more threats such as predators and diseases. Over
time, giants like the Indonesian Komodo dragon have evolved, which
grows up to three metres long and weighs 70 kilos. The comet moth
lives on Madagascar, and the odd King of Saxony bird-of-paradise
flies around on New Guinea. The flightless cormorant on Galapagos,
on the other hand, retracted its flight instruments over time
because it had no need for them. Readers can expect a variety of
animal beauty and extravagance. The following locations are
included in the book: Island of Sainte Marie (Madagascar)
Madagascar Philippines Lesser Sunda Islands (Indonesia) Aru Islands
Regency (Indonesia) New Guinea Australia Tasmania (Australia) New
Zealand Santa Catalina Island, Channel Islands (California, US)
Cozumel (Mexico) Cuba Isla Escudo de Veraguas (Panama) Galapagos
Islands (Ecuador) Falkland Islands Svalbard Archipelago Text in
English and German.

From 1976 to 1978, the young photographer Simon Barker was a member
of the "Bromley Contingent"--a group of avid Sex Pistols fans who
comprised the group's inner circle at the height of the punk
movement. Many of them, such as Jordan and Siouxsie Sioux, were
notorious for their daredevil dress sense, and several--such as
Sioux, Steven Severin, Adam Ant, Poly Styrene, Billy Idol, Viv
Albertine and Ari Up--went on to form some of the most important
bands of the era. This compilation of previously unseen photographs
by Barker shows these founders of punk in their earliest
incarnations--in bedrooms and kitchens, at public gigs and private
parties--before media and commerce sunk their claws into punk's
iconoclastic look and class politics. Taken with the simplest and
cheapest pocket cameras, the photographs in this collection
constitute Barker's "family album for the years 1976 to 1978." In
the spirit of the Pistols' "God Save the Queen," the volume closes
with a photographic sequence taken by Barker during the 1976
Jubilee celebrations, which shows Romanian tyrant Nicolae Ceausescu
hobnobbing with the Queen of England in the royal procession.
