A breathtaking collection of photographs and expert commentary that
shed light on the most mysterious creatures of the deep
seaJellyfish come in a dazzling array of colors, shapes, and sizes,
drifting through every ocean, from the surface to the deepest of
the deep seas, and are even found in freshwater locations. These
ancient creatures, also called sea jellies (they are not,
technically, fish), are so otherworldly and luminous that it is no
wonder they are often compared to mythical shapeshifters. Some are
so delicate that they shatter with the smallest disturbance to the
water, while the tenacity of others means they can withstand almost
any temperature, any salinity, starvation, and even being
dismembered. And some are truly biologically immortal. This
visually breathtaking book showcases 100 species of jellyfish
within its pages—from the ubiquitous Aurelia to the enigmatic
Velella—along with astounding facts about these fascinating
marine life-forms. Some are splendid, some strange, some poisonous,
some deadly. Some carry surprising secrets and some are barely
known, but every one of them is remarkable and has a tale to tell.
An introduction by noted expert Lisa-ann Gershwin, with her
commentary throughout, invites you into the wondrous world of
jellyfish.

Photographs are an integral part of our daily lives, from
sensationalist images in tabloid papers, to personal family
snapshots, to the art photography displayed in galleries and sold
through international art markets. In this thought-provoking
exploration of the subject, Steve Edwards provides a clear, lively,
and imaginative approach to the definition, importance, and meaning
of photography. He combines a sense of its historical development
with an analysis of its purpose and meaning within a wider cultural
context. Edwards also discusses both well-known and more unusual
photos, from the highly controversial Cottingley Fairies to Ansel
Adams landscapes, and from the shocking and influential Eddie Adams
image of a Vietcong suspect being executed to the
portrait/performance art work of Cindy Sherman. Edwards
interrogates the way we look and think about photographs, and
considers such issues as truth and recording, objectivity and fine
art, identity and memory.
The technique of aerial photography, widely recognized as of
immense value to field archaeologists, had been little used in
Ireland, although the relatively slight disturbance of land by
modern ploughing or industrial development makes Ireland a
particularly suitable region for the identification of ancient
features by this method. The results of the surveys carried out by
the Cambridge Committee for Aerial Photography between 1963 and
1968 are nevertheless surprising. Many ancient earthworks have been
revealed by differences in soil-colour or crop-growth, and the
natural and man-made environments of these and other prehistoric
and early Christian settlements can be fully appreciated. The
pattern of settlement emerges over a wide area, as does the
character of large and complex sites such as Tara, while detailed
oblique views pick out smaller structures invisible on the ground.

This book covers the last 20 years of artistic research by one of
the leading contemporary Italian photographers: Walter Niedermayr.
Through the recurring themes of his work such as Alpine landscapes,
architecture and the relationship between public and private
spaces, the artist's interest in investigating places not only from
a geographical but also from a social point of view is highlighted.
Although in continuity with the legacy of the Italian photographic
tradition, which views the landscape as the key to interpreting
society, Niedermayr's visual research is significant in terms of
its ability to reinterpret this subject and renew it from both a
conceptual and a formal point of view. For the South Tyrolean
photographer, physical space today cannot be approached with an
exclusively documentary intention, but as the pivot of a
transformative relationship between ecology, architecture and
society. In some of the works in the Alpine Landschaften (Alpine
Landscapes) series, for example, the presence of man in the
depiction of the landscape is interpreted as a parameter for
measuring the proportions of Alpine panoramas, and at the same time
as a political yardstick for his intervention in the metamorphosis
of the natural equilibrium. This topic is also underlined in works
such as Portraits, where the snow cannons filmed during the summer
season - and thus inactive - become ambiguous presences residing in
the landscape. Text in English and Italian.
Happiness is a cigar called Hamlet. Hovis, as good for you today as
it's always been. Heineken refreshes the parts other beers cannot
reach. These are three of the most famous advertising campaigns
ever produced, and all the work of Collett, Dickenson, Pearce &
Partners. There was something in the air at CDP that made it
special. Some compared it with being in the Beatles. Others said it
was like playing for a football club at the top of the Premier
League. Certainly, CDP possessed an ethos driven by an unshakeable
belief in creativity: the new, the brilliant, the witty and the
vital. It was relentless in its search for ideas that not only
contributed to the success of its clients, but also to the
happiness of the nation. CDP commercials became as much a part of
the fabric of British popular culture as Fawlty Towers, The Two
Ronnies and Eric and Ernie. In 2012, at an evening to mark the 50th
anniversary of Design & Art Direction, CDP won yet another
award - for being the 'most awarded agency' of the last 50 years.
This book tells the story of the ads that won these awards: how
they were conceived and the men and women who dreamed them up.
Whether you are a student of advertising, work in the business, or
are simply a member of the public who remembers these ads with
fondness, this book will entertain you.
