Magnum Dogs is the ultimate collection of canine photography for
the discerning dog lover, bringing together a brilliantly diverse
and cheering selection that showcases the visual wit and skill of
the Magnum team. It features some 180 photographs of dogs from
across the world, organized into five thematic chapters -
Streetwise, Best in Show, At the Beach, Behind the Scenes and It's
a Dog's Life. Canine encounters include immaculately coiffured
showdogs captured in wryly observed photography from the likes of
Martin Parr and Harry Gruyaert, or intimate glimpses of Hollywood
stars alongside their trusted, four-legged confidants, as seen
through the lenses of Eve Arnold and Dennis Stock. Whether
depicting strays roaming the streets of Colombia or pampered
pooches lounging in Parisian apartments, these photos brim with
affection, humour and insight into the human as well as canine
condition. Packaged in an irresistible gift format, this is the
perfect book not just for fans of the very best photography of
dogs, but for anyone, around the world, who is a 'dog person' at
heart. With 180 illustrations in colour

South Korea, with its craggy hillsides, gnarled trees, and ancient
temples, is steeped in tradition yet, at the same time, is
thoroughly modern the tenth-ranking industrial power in the world.
Its capital city, Seoul, is one of the most populous cities in the
world and home to such cutting-edge buildings as the Samsung Tower
Palace.The beautiful landscape and day-to-day details of life in
South Korea are depicted here in images taken by the photographers
of Magnum the famed cooperative whose members are among the
greatest photographers of our time. Here we see a rich culture that
both respects a dynamic cultural history and celebrates the latest
trends in fashion, technology, and architecture. These
extraordinary photographs are set in their historical context by an
insightful text by historian Bruce Cumings."
Featuring new and iconic images, this follow-up to Prestel's highly
successful A Year in Photography: Magnum Archive includes some of
the most striking photography ever collected in one volume. As
readers flip the pages they will find themselves traveling from
west to east across the globe. Each country is represented in three
or four images captured by a single photographer. While renowned
figures such as Robert Capa, Bruce Davidson, and Martin Parr are
included, readers will also find younger photographers such as
Olivia Arthur, Alessandra Sanguinetti, and Mikhael Subotzky, all of
whom present dazzling new views of our changing world. Shining a
light on the human condition in every corner of the globe, this
compilation exemplifies Magnum founder Henry Cartier- Bresson's
vision of "a community of thought, a shared human quality, a
curiosity about what is going on in the world, a respect for what
is going on and a desire to transcribe it visually."
On September 11, 2001, the photographer Abbas watched the World
Trade Center towers fall in New York live on Siberian TV. It
spurred him to begin a journey through the Islamic world that would
last seven years. The photographs published here are the final
result of that project. Born in Iran, Abbas casts a sharp eye over
a world seen by few from the West. Seeking out people and places
that have been overlooked by others, he reveals far more and in
greater depth than photojournalists who focus on flashpoints or who
race to break the latest news. Abbas is acclaimed for his special
ability to freeze a moment in a particular social or political
conflict, to frame actions or gestures that instantly become
emblematic: what he calls the suspended moment. Recording a route
through sixteen countries including Iran, Iraq, Lebanon,
Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, Israel, Palestine, Turkey, Indonesia,
Thailand, Kenya, and Zanzibar Abbas s pictures and the excerpts
from his candid diary reflect the undercurrents of global
disturbance, uncertainty, and threat. Yet there are gleams of
optimism, too a wedding, an impromptu ball game that remind us of
Abbas s gift as a humane interpreter of our existence.
Stuart Franklin (*1956 in London), a member of Magnum Photos and a
geographer, travels around the world as a photojournalist,
capturing historical events-from the massacre at Tiananmen Square
to the Intifada-on film. But a trip to the region of More og
Romsdal on Norway's west coast prompted him to pause: Franklin
bought a cottage by a lake on the island of Otroya, spending a
great deal of time there over the next two and a half years.
Narcissus documents his experience in this remote place, which led
to a deeper understanding and sensitivity for the abundance around
him in an environment that at first seemed barren. These very
tranquil, contemplative, and introverted landscape photographs time
and again seek references to human beings-a path, a chopping block
in a far corner of the property, the reflection of the silhouette
of a mountain in a lake that seems to melt into a human portrait.
An urbanite encounters a small, special piece of nature and sees
his own reflection in it.
