Just in time for the 2010 World Cup, Robin Goode's photographic
documentation on football seeks to show the inherent purity of the
beautiful game by capturing, at grassroots level, Africa's
relationship with this most popular of sports. Goode has realised
that the beauty and purity of the game can be found, far from the
money and celebrity it sometimes brings to mind, in the children of
the poorest places on earth. Muti, both a social documentary and
photographic journey, highlights not only Africa's passion for
football, but also the maladies that beset the continent, and
football's potential role as a balm for those maladies. The Muti
project aims at raising money to supply children's charities with
much-needed medicine.
When you think of London, what do you see? The Houses of
Parliament? The bustle around Piccadilly Circus? Elegant Victorian
streets and squares? The Tate Modern? Or even Camden Market? With
London, there are so many different aspects to the city. In more
than 200 striking images, London celebrates the British capital,
from its famous landmarks to atmospheric alleyways, from the top of
the Shard to London Underground's lost ghost stations, from the
parks to the canals to the Thames. Exploring both the history and
modernity of the city, the book reveals the city's legacy as a
capital and a trading hub, but also looks at how the contemporary
city lives and breathes as a multi-ethnic metropolis. Presented in
a landscape format and with captions explaining the story behind
each entry, London is a stunning collection of images celebrating
the world's most interesting city.

The first species to be domesticated, dogs have been selectively
bred over thousands of years. Today they’re man’s best friend
– but while many are pets, many, too, are working animals: for
the police, for the blind, as guard dogs, as sheepdogs, pulling
sleds and as therapy animals. Arranged in chapters covering
physical characteristics, senses, lifecycle, communication,
behaviour and working dogs, Dogs is a hugely informative visual
celebration. From huskies to German shepherds, from collies to
Chihuahuas, Shih Tzu to Jack Russell Terriers, Labradors to
Bullmastiffs to Dachshunds, the book includes a huge range of
breeds. With fascinating captions on every page, even dog lovers
will learn something new. Dogs is a brilliant examination in 150
outstanding colour photographs.
