Loving: A Photographic History of Men in Love, 1850-1950 portrays
the history of romantic love between men in hundreds of moving and
tender vernacular photographs taken between the years 1850 and
1950. This visual narrative of astonishing sensitivity brings to
light an until-now-unpublished collection of hundreds of snapshots,
portraits, and group photos taken in the most varied of contexts,
both private and public. Taken when male partnerships were often
illegal, the photos here were found at flea markets, in shoe boxes,
family archives, old suitcases, and later online and at auctions.
The collection now includes photos from all over the world:
Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, France, Germany, Japan,
Greece, Latvia, the United States, the United Kingdom, Russia, and
Serbia. The subjects were identified as couples by that
unmistakable look in the eyes of two people in love - impossible to
manufacture or hide. They were also recognised by body language -
evidence as subtle as one hand barely grazing another - and by
inscriptions, often coded. Included here are ambrotypes,
daguerreotypes, glass negatives, tin types, cabinet cards, photo
postcards, photo strips, photomatics, and snapshots - over 100
years of social history and the development of photography. Loving
will be produced to the highest standards in illustrated book
publishing, The photographs - many fragile from age or handling -
have been digitised using a technology derived from that used on
surveillance satellites and available in only five places around
the world. Paper and other materials are among the best available.
And Loving will be manufactured at one of the world's elite
printers. Loving, the book, will be up to the measure of its
message in every way. In these delight-filled pages, couples in
love tell their own story for the first time at a time when joy and
hope - indeed human connectivity - are crucial lifelines to our
better selves. Universal in reach and overwhelming in impact,
Loving speaks to our spirit and resilience, our capacity for bliss,
and our longing for the shared truths of love.
In Candid Creatures, the first major book to reveal the secret
lives of animals through motion-sensitive game cameras, biologist
Roland Kays has assembled over 600 remarkable photographs. Drawing
from archives of millions of color and night-vision photographs
collected by hundreds of researchers, Kays has selected images that
show the unique perspectives of wildlife from throughout the world.
Using these photos, he tells the stories of scientific discoveries
that camera traps have enabled, such as living proof of species
thought to have been extinct and details of predator-prey
interactions. Each image captures a moment frozen in the camera's
flash as animals move through their wild habitats. Kays also
discusses how scientists use camera traps to address conservation
issues, creating solutions that allow humans and wild animals to
coexist. More than just a collection of amazing animal pictures,
the book's text, maps, and illustrations work together to describe
the latest findings in the fast-moving field of wildlife research.
Candid Creatures is a testament to how the explosion of game
cameras around the world has revolutionized the study of animal
ecology. The powerful combination of pictures and stories of
discovery will fascinate anyone interested in science, nature,
wildlife biology, or photography.
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.

At last...you were all waiting with 'bated breath' I know (my
Boyle-Breath novels #1, 2, & 3 are all out now also)...here's
my 3RD "WHOOP'S" collection of Apostrophe, Spelling, and other
'word' error slip-ups. Happily, it has got to the stage that
(photographed) mistakes are being rectified by the perpetrators
themselves (some have even spotted me, mobile in hand); and I have
myself started to fix the odd (so far) fox's paw (see the
all-too-brief 'Wrong +Fixed' input - Chapter 1) One hundred (plus)
more mistooks caught in their prime bleakness for you, including
the 'usual suspect' chapters of pure plain awful Ap and Sp errors;
and 'abroad'...accidents Add a section of 'One Wrong One Right'; a
section of 'Firm' headliners where they just don't seem to care
about correctness anymore, and a compendium of my beloved 'Just
Weird' cock-ups and we're laughing all the way...to the bank ('NOT
' says my Ed. also known as Edith my good wife). Laugh, cry, enjoy
