THE SUNDAY TIMES MUSIC BOOK OF THE YEAR A TELEGRAPH BEST MUSIC BOOK
OF THE YEAR A NEW STATESMAN BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR Faith, Hope and
Carnage is a book about Nick Cave's inner life. Created from more
than forty hours of intimate conversations with the journalist Sean
O'Hagan, this is a profoundly thoughtful exploration, in Cave's own
words, of what really drives his life and creativity. The book
examines questions of belief, art, music, freedom, grief and love.
It draws candidly on Cave's life, from his early childhood to the
present day, his loves, his work ethic and his dramatic
transformation in recent years. Faith, Hope and Carnage offers
ladders of hope and inspiration from a true creative visionary.

Made in Dublin winner of Photography category in the British Design
and Production Awards 'A singular new vision and an original
contribution to the development of street photography' Martin Parr
Focused on D1, Dublin's city centre, Eamonn Doyle's three major
bodies of work, 'i', 'On' and 'End' - with new and previously
unpublished images brought together here for the first time - tell
the tale of today's Dublin and, in doing so, tell a broader story
of today's Ireland. Setting aside the nostalgia and cliche so often
seen in 'stories of Ireland', Doyle's vernacular photography is a
thrill to the system, revealing the extraordinary within the
ordinary to paint a striking portrait of a modern and multicultural
capital city. Vivified in colour, the commonplace is seen anew, the
everyday made epic as the city's inhabitants appear in stark,
graphic black and white going about their daily business. Far from
pedestrian, Doyle's work is the archetype of good street
photography: real life brought to life through the lens and voice
of the street. Punctuating the photography with specially
commissioned narratives is the distinctive voice of Kevin Barry,
evoking the world beyond the frame: the sights, smells, sounds and
sensations of a Dubliner's daily life. Designed by Doyle's longtime
collaborator Niall Sweeney, fusing contemporary Irish word and
contemporary Irish image, Made in Dublin is one of the most
exciting and original books of street photography in recent years.

Published in 2006 following Damien Hirst's first major print
exhibition at the Paul Stolper Gallery in London in 2005, New
Religion explores Hirst's central themes: "I was thinking that
there are four important things in life: religion, love, art and
science... Of them all, science seems to be the right one now. Like
religion, it provides the glimmer of hope that maybe it will be all
right in the end." With full colour reproductions of this entire
series of Hirst silkscreen prints produced for the 'New Religion'
exhibition, such as 'The Apostles', 'The Wound of Christ', 'The
Last Supper' and 'The Stations of the Cross', as well as editioned
sculptures and multiples such as 'The Fate of Man' and the
'box/cabinet' called 'New Religion', this hardback publication is a
modern day biblical picture-book exploring combinations between
science and religion. And the ideas about Hirst's science/religion
dichotomy are further explored through an intriguing interview with
Sean O'Hagan that moves effortlessly from the macro to the micro,
and back again, "I just can't help thinking that science is the new
religion for many people. It's as simple and as complicated as that
really." Hardback with 6 gatefolds.
