The Royal Borough of Windsor is home to two of the UK's Top 20
Visitor Attractions (Windsor Castle and Legoland) but also boasts
Eton College, The Changing of the Guard, the Savill Garden, Ascot
Racecourse, Royal Windsor Course and more. Windsor Castle is the
oldest and largest inhabited castle in the world and the favourite
weekend home of The Queen. Eton College, perhaps the most famous
school in the world, was founded in 1440 and is the alma mater of
eighteen prime ministers. Windsor Great Park, 1000 acres of
woodland, lakes and gardens, is a much loved resource for visitors
and locals alike. And every June, Ascot Racecourse is the setting
for a spectacular pageant of horses and racegoers. Joanna Jackson
captures this quintessentially English subject through the seasons.
"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.

"Dramatic and startling" -- The Guardian. Witness Barack Obama as
you've never seen him before -- as feminist, communist, fashion
model, Jew, Muslim terrorist, Messiah, Superman, George Washington,
President Roosevelt, Julius Caesar and Hindu deity Lord Shiva.
Obama: 101 Best Covers shows America's ex-president in all these
guises and more, on the front pages of the world's leading print
publications. NEW BARACK PHOTO BIOGRAPHY During his two terms in
the White House, former US President Barack Obama amassed more
newspaper and magazine covers than any other in history. This new
post-presidency legacy book brings you the best 101 examples from
around the world, in a special commemorative edition celebrating
the startling event that was the 2008 election of America's first
African American leader. It presents a unique visual biography of
the background and accomplishments of his historic presidential
campaign. OBAMA & NEW YORK TIMES Featured titles within this
definitive collection include Time, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Vogue,
Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Esquire, Ebony, Essence, Vibe, The
Guardian and The New York Times, amongst others. Many of the covers
featuring the 44th US president were flattering. He never looked
better than when he featured on the front of The New York Times or
Rolling Stone. (See pages 40 and 69 of the Obama book). DREAMS OF
AUDACITY & HOPE Many Barack Obama biography and legacy books
have been written by different authors in recent years. His
autobiography, Dreams Of My Father, as well as his memoir, The
Audacity Of Hope, detail Obama's life story better than any
biography by another author could, while the photographic portraits
offered in Obama books by Pete Souza and Peter Baker reveal the
intimate access they had to the White House's first African
American president during his two administrations. But this new
legacy book enters the Barack Obama story in 2004 with his very
first cover, for Black Enterprise, and then tracks Obama's US
presidential campaigns and elections of 2008 and 2012 through a
further 100 amazing covers. THE CALL OF HISTORY 2008 Amongst the
print media, Barack Obama was a publishing sensation - a fact borne
out by the volume of covers his portrait graced during his
eight-year American presidency. They range from graphic
illustrations to photographs of Obama giving speeches while on the
campaign trail, right through to intimate studio portraits. Many
depict him as the chosen one, the Messiah even. Obama was the one
who, out of the many, answered the call of history many thought
would never come, while exercising power that no other African
American leader before him has ever wielded on the political and
presidential stage. OBAMA: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT IN WORDS The text
for the Obama covers book discusses the design, typography,
photography and political context of each cover portrait, bringing
to life this unique portrait of the world's most famous man.
BARACK: 4 COVERS FOR NO. 44 Obama: 101 Best Covers, is available in
FOUR collectable editions, each with a different cover. As a
souvenir, gift or inspirational Black History Month purchase for
2018, this is one the best Obama books with which to celebrate the
former US president's tenure in the White House. NEW OBAMA BOOK:
SUMMARY - Available in FOUR editions. - A bespoke souvenir -- EIGHT
years in the making. - Features amazing covers you've never seen
before. ONLINE BOOK CATEGORIES 2020 Biography & Autobiography
