Our beautiful planet is in danger: the warning signs are there,
year after year ā from vast forest fires across Australia to
coral bleaching in the Pacific and the rapid break up of polar ice
and the consequent rise in sea levels, threatening low-lying
coastal communities everywhere. Arranged by continent, Endangered
Places introduces the reader to many of the most stunning natural
locations from the around the world that are currently under
threat. Learn about the magnificent Bornean rainforest, home to
threatened species such as orangutans, probiscis monkeys and the
Sumatran rhinoceros; marvel at the beauty of the Great Barrier
Reef, stretching 2,300 kilometres along Australiaās east coast
and built by billions of tiny organisms, known as coral polyps;
explore the Aral Sea, formerly the fourth largest lake in the world
and today less than 10 per cent of itās original size after the
rivers that fed it were diverted by Soviet irrigation projects; and
understand the process of desertification, which has led to the
huge expansion of the Sahara Desert and the dramatic shrinkage of
Lake Chad. Illustrated with more than 180 photographs of more than
100 threatened locations, Endangered Places celebrates the beauty
of our planet while reminding us of how easily this can be lost
through human behaviour and climate change.
The perfect hilarious and heartwarming gift for the festive season!
When the Comedy Wildlife Photography Awards announced a contest for
the funniest animal photo, they received entries from all over the
world. Now authors and the original Award founders Paul
Joynson-Hicks and Tom Sullam showcase the best of the best - as
well as some never before seen - to present the most joyful
photographs of wildlife ever printed. A pelican losing its lunch; a
three-headed giraffe; a meerkat having a rough day... this is the
must-have book that is perfect for animal lovers of all stripes!
In this beautifully photographed book, the author has captured
abandoned places in emotive form: places as dark as time; history
forgotten in the folds of the subconscious mind; beauty in decay, a
presentation of life open to our personal interpretations.
Atmospheric scenes unfold before the light of torches, with glass
crunching underfoot, complementing the unremitting sound of
dripping water. Creative wall art decorations attract attention,
bordering the natural and unnatural worlds with a broad range of
colours and exuding micro-organisms with compelling effects. The
author describes urbexing - the pursuit of images of the abandoned
and ruined - as a drug, a way of life as powerful as a state of
mind. This is her world - this is Perth.
Featuring a series of images, this title takes you on a tour of
South-East England. It includes photographs of the South Downs, the
Weald of Kent, the Thames and its estuary, and the White Cliffs of
Dover, as well as castles, stately homes and gardens.

Naomi Campbell is a phenomenon. Still very much at the top of her game
after nearly four decades in the fashion industry, news of her
trailblazing work, both on and off the catwalk, continues to hit the

Inspiring, creative, energetic and most definitely iconic, Campbell

Opening with a specially commissioned interview by Tim Blanks, this
book showcases more than 20 of the most eloquent ensembles from across
her career, personally selected and discussed by Campbell herself. It
also explores the different facets of her success - from her work as a

cultural leader with her unerring support of emerging designers.
With spectacular looks from Azzedine Alaļa, Gianni Versace, Chanel,
Alexander McQueen and Kenneth Ize - to name but a few - this is an
exclusive look into the world of one of fashion's most talented and
enduring personalities.
