Elie Wiesel called the genocide of the Armenians during the First World War ‘the Holocaust before the Holocaust’. Around one and a half million Armenians - men, women and children – were slaughtered at the time of the First World War. This book outlines some of the historical facts and consequences of the massacres but sees it as its main objective to present the Armenians to the foreign reader, their history but also their lives and achievements in the present that finds most Armenians dispersed throughout the world. 3000 years after their appearance in history, 1700 years after adopting Christianity and almost 90 years after the greatest catastrophe in their history, these 50 ‘biographical sketches of intellectuals, artists, journalists, and others...produce a complicated kaleidoscope of a divided but lively people that is trying once again, to rediscover its ethnic coherence. Armenian civilization does not consist solely of stories about a far-off past, but also of traditions and a national conscience suggestive of a future that will transcend the present.’ [from the Preface]

During my travels, I like to contemplate the beauty of these magnificent regions offered to me.It is not the landscapes or architecture that interest me the most but it is interactions and contacts with people from different cultures. It is in this context that photography interests me, more precisely, to capture the expression of a face or an entire family in their own environment. It is here that I get the strongest gratification out of my travel photography.I hope that you may appreciate these photos and experience the same emotions that have filled my life over the past 40 years.

This is a story about experiencing the diversity and culture that exists in the world through a series of portraits. The photographer uses the medium of portrait photographs coupled with an amusing ordeal of drinking shots from souvenir shot-glasses to express a journey across many different country, culture and lifestyles. The book is aimed at serving as a personal diary of the author and his friends during his year at Madrid where he was accompanied by people from around the globe while pursuing higher studies. Yet, the personal aspect of the book also drives a heart warming story centred around people, their lifestyles and cultures. The physical publication of the book is an addendum to the original exhibition and is designed to serve as a memorabilia for the people in the photograph. It can also be an interesting piece of artwork added to one's collection of photobooks or serve as an ice breaker in cafes, bars and other public places designed around the theme of travel and amusement.

A stunning collection of wildlife photography spanning six continents and ten ecosystems—now available in a smaller format. In The Natural World, celebrated nature photographer Thomas D. Mangelsen takes the reader on a visual odyssey, from the wildebeest migration on the plains of the Serengeti to the penguins of Antarctica, from the grizzlies of Alaska to the frozen landscape of polar bears on Hudson Bay. Featuring excerpts from his journals detailing his experiences in the field, this book offers an intimate look into the natural world that has inspired artists, conservationists, and adventurers for centuries. With a foreword written by renowned primatologist Dr. Jane Goodall, this book contains Mangelsen’s selection of 120 of his most important panoramic images out of a library of more than 20,000. A quiet call to action, an inventory of our planet as it battles climate change, and a celebration of wildness and its intrinsic value, The Natural World is a record of Earth’s last great locales, one that will inspire present and future generations with the message that what we have can, and must, be saved.

Self-portraits catch your eye. They seem to do it deliberately. Walk into any art gallery and they draw attention to themselves. Come across them in the world's museums and you get a strange shock of recognition, rather like glimpsing your own reflection. For in picturing themselves artists reveal something far deeper than their own physical looks: the truth about how they hope to be viewed by the world, and how they wish to see themselves. In this beautifully written and lavishly illustrated book, Laura Cumming, art critic of the Observer, investigates the drama of the self-portrait, from Durer, Rembrandt and Velazquez to Munch, Picasso, Warhol and the present day. She considers how and why self-portraits look as they do and what they reveal about the artist's innermost sense of self - as well as the curious ways in which they may imitate our behaviour in real life. Drawing on art, literature, history, philosophy and biography to examine the creative process in an entirely fresh way, Cumming offers a riveting insight into the intimate truths and elaborate fictions of self-portraiture and the lives of those who practise it. A work of remarkable depth, scope and power, this is a book for anyone who has ever wondered about the strange dichotomy between the innermost self and the self we choose to present for posterity - our face to the world.
