Flint Wave is a series of poems and photographs reflecting on the
specificity of time and mood, rooted in the landforms and history
of the South Downs. An ancient landscape is imagined, connecting
with human traces among hill paths, barrows, woodland, shoreline
and sea. Past and present interweave in quiet reflection, evoking
the ebb and flow of memory of old ways walked. A donation will be
made from the sale of this book to the Motor Neurone Disease

From ice storms to fire rainbows, this is an A to Z guide to the
earth's spectacular weather phenomena. Each entry has been crafted
by experts at The Royal Meteorological Society, and many are
illustrated with dramatic imagery from their annual Weather
Photographer of the Year competition. As well as providing precise
scientific and geographic detail, the entries often reveal the
folklore that surrounds certain weather events and how they have
affected human culture.
Photographed in the red light districts of Paris, Vicky
Wetherhill's first book captures the very essence of the peep show
- its titillation, its voyeurism, its seedy and secretive nature.
This is a world of shadows - of life on the margins - revealed
through voluptuously curtained neon-lit doorways, with their
strategic gaps and seductive folds. Footprints, shadows and patches
of light provide further visual clues of the provocative symbolism
at work in these images as even the clientele become anonymous
markers of this voyeuristic process.
