Perfect for fans of Portia MacIntosh, Mhairi McFarlane and
Catherine Walsh.Madison reckons she's a pretty good judge of
character. When a disaster at work brings professional photographer
Toby into her life, she has him all worked out within minutes. As
their work collaboration blossoms into friendship, her
preconceptions about him are only strengthened. The problem is that
Madison has got one aspect of Toby completely wrong, and it tears
their friendship apart when she finds out. How will she make sense
of his revelation and, more importantly, how on earth will she get
him to talk to her again?

Hot on the heels of a series of articles published in IdN Magazine
in 2005, is Neo-Photo, a photography book that is like no other.
This is an amazing survey of work created by a new generation of
photographers who use digital technology to combine the disciplines
of graphic design and film aesthetics. The images that result are
incredible indeed. Co-edited by parissydneytokyo, Neo-Photo
features a collection of international artists whose work pushes
the boundaries of the photographic medium and challenges the
traditional rules, approaches and perceptions of this demanding art
form. Photographers of note include Shun Kawakami, Jola Kudela,
Frank le Petit, Guillaume Dimanche plus many other great talents.
From the Neolithic cave paintings in Wadi Sura - created long
before it was a desert when the region was savannah grassland - to
the Valley of the Kings to the rock-cut temples at Abu Simbel, and
from the vast temple complexes at Karnak and Luxor to the funerary
mask of Tutankhamun and, of course, to the pyramids and the Sphinx,
Ancient Egypt is a hugely colourful guide to the surviving wonders
of Egyptian antiquity. Today the exceptional beauty and scale of
the antiquities is legendary, drawing millions of visitors to
Egypt's monuments each year. Arranged by region, the book takes the
reader along the ancient settlements that were established on the
banks of the River Nile. Through beautiful photographs and expert
captions, the reader gains an understanding of how ancient Egypt
developed its trade links and became such a powerful and wealthy
force across North Africa and the eastern Mediterranean. Alongside
the world-famous places, there are also fascinating, lesser-known
entries, such as the Step Pyramid of Djoser, the bent pyramid at
Dahshur and the Statue of Khaefre. Featuring monuments and
obelisks, hieroglyphics and jewelry, funerary masks, tombs and
mausoleums, mummies of cats and statues of falcon-headed gods,
Ancient Egypt includes 160 outstanding photographs and captions.

interactions, Morheng captures the rapid change, local customs, and
internationality that make up China today. With immersive
first-hand reports accompanying the images, this reportage looks
beyond the traditional tourist gaze and leading media narratives to
explore a China rich with nature, culture and people! Text in
