Can you spot the Big Dipper in the night sky? Or Orion's Belt? Or
Cassiopeia? Even in cities, and without the aid of a telescope,
these are a few of the easier constellations to find. In fact, a
great deal can be seen in the night sky with the naked eye - if you
know what you're looking for. Night Sky presents 200 colour
photographs of stunning nocturnal vistas all visible to the naked
eye. From the majesty of the Northern Lights (Aurora borealis) as
seen from Norway or Canada, and the Southern Lights (Aurora
australis) as seen from Australia, to seeing the clarity of the
Milky Way over an Italian forest, from witnessing a lunar eclipse
in Indonesia to charting the course of the International Space
Station across the Indian night, and from seeing a Geminid meteor
shower in New Mexico to recognizing the Great Bear (Ursa Major)
constellation over New England, the book is a feast of nocturnal
delights. Where necessary, additional inset photographs indicate
the formation of a constellation. Presented in a handy,
pocket-sized landscape format - take it out at night when you're
stargazing - and featuring 200 outstanding colour photographs
supported by fascinating captions, Night Sky is a stunning
collection of images.
One of our city’s most creative young artists has captured an
extraordinary view of home. During a period of rapid change in this
growing post-industrial Southern city, Kavin Bradner quietly moved
among us, his drone hovering above. He knew that rooftops tell
stories we can’t see from the ground. Waiting for just the right
light and weather conditions, Bradner reframed Spartanburg with
photographs both simple and powerful. His images illuminate
patterns below we hardly knew existed. From our parks to our
parking decks, from our freight trains to the Fr8yard, Above
Spartanburg will transform the way you look at this city.

and a sexual predator, to name but a few. Fake Views? President

by many as the "Trumpocalypse". However, none of these titles tell
the Donald Trump story like this book does - through the eyes of
the print press that have featured him on their front pages for
