Travelling from the edge of our Solar System, through the Milky Way
and to the outer edges of the observable universe, Deep Space is a
spectacular photographic guide to galaxies, nebulae, supernova,
clusters, black holes and quasars. Learn about the birth of stars
in our own galaxy, planets beyond our own solar system, when they
were first discovered and how we have managed to photograph these
places. Ranging from the Magellanic Clouds within the Milky Way to
stellar life cycles, from other spiral galaxies such as the
Andromeda Galaxy, to the Sombrero Galaxy, and from nebulae such as
the Pillars of Creation to black and white dwarfs, this is
accessibly written for the general reader to grasp the science and
magnitude of deep space. Featuring 200 outstanding colour
photographs and expert captions, Deep Space is most certainly out
of this world.
This truly global and visually stunning compendium showcases
some of the most breath-taking pieces of street art and graffiti
from around the world. Since its genesis on the East Coast of the
United States in the late 1960s, street art has travelled to nearly
every corner of the globe, morphing into highly ornate and vibrant
new styles. This unique atlas is the first truly geographical
survey of urban art, revised and updated in 2023 to include new
voices, increased female representation and cities emerging as
street art hubs. Featuring specially commissioned works from major
graffiti and street art practitioners, it offers you an insider’s
view of the urban landscape as the artists themselves experience
it. Organized geographically, by continent and by city – from New
York, Los Angeles and Montreal in North America, through Mexico
City and Buenos Aires in Latin America, to London, Berlin and
Madrid in Europe, Sydney and Auckland in the Pacific, as well as
brand new chapters covering Africa and Asia – it profiles more
than 100 of today’s most important artists and features over 700
astonishing artworks. This beautifully illustrated book, produced
with the help of many of the artists it features, dispels the idea
of such art as a thoughtless defacement of pristine surfaces, and
instead celebrates it as a contemporary and highly creative
inscription upon the skin of the built environment.
The Siege of Sarajevo remains the longest siege in modern European
history, lasting three times longer than the Battle of Stalingrad
and over a year longer than the Siege of Leningrad. Reporting the
Siege of Sarajevo provides the first detailed account of the
reporting of this siege and the role that journalists played in
highlighting both military and non-military aspects of it. The book
draws on detailed primary and secondary material in English and
Bosnian, as well as extensive interviews with international
correspondents who covered events in Sarajevo from within siege
lines. It also includes hitherto unpublished images taken by the
co-author and award-winning photojournalist, Paul Lowe. Together
Morrison and Lowe document a relatively short but crucial period in
both the history of Bosnia & Herzegovina, the city of Sarajevo
and the profession of journalism. The book provides crucial
observations and insights into an under-researched aspect of a
critical period in Europe's recent history.
A tour of some of the UK's most beguiling gardens in the counties
of Kent, Sussex and Surrey, the counties that exemplify 'the garden
of England'. In these three counties a wealth of history and
horticulture has combined with geography in the shape of rolling
landscapes, wooded valleys and meandering waterways, to provide an
attractive and fascinating collection. They are in villages and
towns, as well as in deep countryside, and all are privately owned.
Some have been in the possession of the same family for many
generations, while others have recently been transformed by new
owners. Some open for the National Garden Scheme, while others are
open privately and in some cases for just the occasional day for
charity. The stunning gardens explored in this visually rich guide
include: Arundel Castle, Denmans, Gravetye Manor, Munstead Wood and
Sussex Prairie Garden. The book also includes a gazetteer of other
important gardens in the area with location advice, to enable
readers to plan a more elaborate tour of this fertile garden area.
Filled with stunning, specially commissioned photographs by Clive
Boursnell, Secret Gardens of the South East is a unique guide that
opens the gates to the most intriguing gardens in this part of
England.
