Stunning photography by acclaimed photographer Michael Clinton.
Michael Clinton's travels are ones to which many people today
aspire, making Globetrotter Diaries an inspiring, informative, and
entertaining guide to world travel today. After publishing five
previous photography books with Glitterati, this is the author's
first foray into text-based book publishing and promises to be an
excellent counterpoint to his image-based work. In an era when the
earth is our oyster, Michael Clinton is the premier globetrotter in
search of its pearls. Over the course of more than 35 years,
Clinton has travelled the seven continents documenting his
experiences in photographs. Now, for the first time, Clinton tells
it like it is. In Globetrotter Diaries, the author shares with us
his adventures, his knowledge, and his witty reminiscences of his
life on the road. As the author of five photography books with
Glitterati, Clinton is well-versed in the native customs, rituals,
and landscapes of the most popular and remote places around the
world. This book provides the perfect companion piece to his
photographic work. Here Clinton reveals himself as he learns the
nature of humanity from its billions of inhabitants who make travel
one of life's greatest pastimes.
Running: it's as simple as striding forward just one foot after
another, but as author Michael Clinton has learned over more than
40 years as a runner, it s so much more than just exercise. It s a
test of physical and mental endurance and a way to connect with the
environment, the global community of runners, and, ultimately,
yourself. From the streets of Paris, Buenos Aires, all the way to
Sydney, Clinton has gone the distance, never forgetting his running
shoes in all of his globetrotting adventures to over 120 countries.
In Tales from the Trails, Clinton along with numerous contributors,
including George A. Hirsch, chairman of the New York Road Runners
and founder of the New York City five-borough marathon, detail
inspirational stories of trial, tribulation, and triumph, revealing
how running has helped one find love, strengthened a relationship
with God, and assisted in overcoming fear and disappointment. Tales
from the Trails is a reminder to lace up and hit the trails to run
for your life, love, and happiness.
Prolific author Michael Clinton takes on close-up subjects from his
travels around the world. Clinton is a well-published author of
travel books with Glitterati that have good sales tracks. The
author is well known internationally through his position as
president, marketing and publishing director of Hearst Magazines.
His ability to promote is intense because of his position and track
with earlier books. This is a fun book for people who love to look
at design, travel and everyday items from a new perspective; it is
a total impulse item. Lively packaging make this book a great gift
object. In Michael Clinton's earlier books - all travel photography
- he has shown us the world in context, in long shots that describe
people, places and things/architecture and design objects. In
Closer he looks at the world through a telescopic lens, honing in
on specifics to people, their cultures and their environments. An
impulse item for the photographic and travel aficionado, this book
is just a fun read.
Photography by acclaimed photographer Michael Clinton. Global Snaps
is first volume in his acclaimed Global series, featuring the
design and architectural vestiges that make each of the countries
he has visited distinct and memorable. Basic supermarket shopping
has become a global affair: We buy strawberries grown in Peru, rice
cultivated in Indonesia and beef from Columbian ranchers. Michael
Clinton has created a global volume for a global age. Shot in
luminous four-colour, Global Snaps: 500 Photographs from 7
Continents celebrates the diversity of human culture and the
startling array of images. Bestselling author of Wanderlust: One
Hundred Countries, Clinton again takes us on a trip into the
tantalizing prospect of trotting the globe. Over thirty-five years
of travel, Clinton has compiled the photo album that we all wish we
had taken ourselves. Organised by continent with convenient tabbing
for quick reference, Global Snaps is part global tour guide, part
fantasy. Clinton's photos cover an astonishing one hundred and five
countries and every continent. His book is an incredible survey of
all the places everyone wants to visit - the Taj Mahal, Sistine
Chapel and Pyramids of Giza - along with many other sites that
provide inspiration for more exotic ventures, like Antarctic ice
flows and Turkish mosques. Clinton brings the same degree of care
and sensitivity to his "snapshots" of great monuments as to his
intimate portraits of local life.
Photography by acclaimed photographer Michael Clinton Global
Remains is the third and final volume in his acclaimed Global
series, featuring the design and architectural vestiges that make
each of the countries he has visited distinct and memorable In
Global Remains, Michael Clinton offers a visionary collection of
the different places around the world that have struck his
perceptive eye: forgotten places and artifacts that range from
homes, to churches, to planes, statues, temples, and farmhouses.
Though abandoned, the objects and places retain grand vitality and
rich character that have drawn Clinton to photograph these places.
Photographs depict a multitude of beautiful forgotten places: a
shipwreck immersed in sandy beaches; The Colosseum of Rome; ancient
Buddha statues, or intriguing graffiti of Che Guevara. Clinton
brings life back to these ruined churches, homes, streets, planes,
and statues brilliantly with his lens. Michael Clinton's intense
life-long desire to explore the world has led him to 120 countries
and every continent on the globe with his camera in tow. His
breathtaking photographs serve as a visual travel diary. Clinton's
travels have brought him face-to-face with the most diverse
peoples, spectacular cities, breathtaking landscapes, and exotic
wildlife on the planet, allowing him to take spectacular photos of
his experiences."

Traveller extraordinaire Michael Clinton is back with the second
instalment in his Snaps series that defines sense of place in some
of the world's most beautiful yet essentially unexplored locations.
Following his glimpse into New York's pre-eminent summer
destination - the Hamptons - Clinton travels to Santa Fe, New
Mexico, and captures the essence of what makes this city one of the
most prominent and largest centres for arts and culture in the
world. Here Clinton, the accomplished photographer, uses his unique
eye to transform ordinary, everyday moments into insightful and
inspiring images. From the bronze sculptures that depict the
diverse blend of Spanish, Native American, and Anglo cultures, and
the earth tones of weathered sixteenth-century adobe architecture,
to horses grazing on secluded pastures under brilliant blue skies
and serene views of the freshly changed yellow leaves of the aspens
in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains, these illustrious images invite
viewers to contemplate and focus on the small, yet telling moments
that create a larger sense of beauty and wonder. This book will
appeal to anyone who loves Santa Fe, art, or photography, and is
popularly priced and conveniently sized for quick purchase and
carry.
