No animal has captured the human imagination quite like the horse, depicted in cave drawings thousands of years ago through countless renderings in paint, clay, ink, even film. In his first book, award-winning photographer Tim Flach''s quest to document the horse has resulted in "Equus", an intensely moving look at an animal - as solitary subject and en masse, from the air and from underwater - whose history is so powerfully linked to our own. From exquisite Arabians in the Royal Yards of the United Arab Emirates to purebred Icelandic horses in their glacial habitat; from the soulful gaze of a single horse''s lash-lined eye to the thundering majesty of thousands of Mustangs racing across the plains of Utah, "Equus" provides an amazing and unique insight into the physical dynamics and spirit of the horse.

A reprieve from post-war austerity, the 1950s epitomized a time of glamour with its film icons and automobiles, which are admired and emulated to this day. Nothing said, "You''ve made it," quite like getting glammed up and going for a spin in your brand new automobile. The shapes and shades of cars were bright and exaggerated. Car design showed a fervent embrace of the future and a willingness to experiment with something new. Riviera Cocktail photographer Edward Quinn captured all the stars and idols from the worlds of film, music, and the arts, as well as their admirers.

Ana Soler, Kaco Castro, José Andrés Santiago IglesiasEste libro no pretende entrar en los planteamientos del fotodocumentalismo intencionalmente edulcorado de los libro de viaje, ni el ambicioso proyecto de mostrar un Japon inacabable. Mas bien, y siendo humildes, nos conformamos con apuntar algunos aspectos disimulados o que no se ven de forma evidente, pero que estan imbricados hasta hacerse materia de carne y hueso en los hombres y mujeres de este pais, sus cicatrices escondidas, y su inconmesurable paciencia; en su virtuosidad en la ejecucion de cualquier tarea, en su pulcra y silenciosa contribucion a la creacion del ecosistema que son esas islas mucho mas extensas y variadas de lo que parecen, pero que contradictoriamente han sabido aunar modernidad y tradicion, para hacer de ellas un lugar especial, tecnologica y socialmente muy avanzado, y que los occidentales miramos con asombro y curiosidad infinitas. Este es un libro compuesto de imagenes, fundamentalmente, no hay apenas texto; pretende de algun modo completar una foto global hecha de sutilezas por medio de sus muchas partes interconectadas. Su multiplicidad y diversificacion son en cierto modo engañosas, ya que todas ellas corresponden a esa unica y peculiar forma de entender el universo cultural de una comunidad antropocentrada durante siglos, organizada e indumentarizada hasta en lo mas infimo. Como una isla que son, los nipones han desarrollado un modo de vivir, de vestirse, de comportarse, de elaborar sus objetos, de actuar publicamente, de establecer sus relaciones sociales, de construir, de alimentarse, de pensar y hablar, que son unicos en su belleza, funcionalidad y correccion. Su anhelo de perfeccion formal se lleva a extremos a veces increibles. Su gusto por la delicadeza de lo bello y minusculo de los detalles, en sus templos y palacios, de sus jardines, ropajes y enseres, el arte del papel, la ceramica y los muebles, contrasta con la dureza y orgullo que muestran sus costumbres mas belicosas y su modo de hacer en la guerra. Su preparacion de cuerpo y mente en el bushido, sus t&a

Few photographers have created such a legacy as Edward Weston (1886-1958). After a decade of successfully making photographs with painterly soft-focus techniques, Weston became the key pioneer of the school of precise and sharp presentation, dubbed Straight Photography. Through the 1920s, 30s, and 40s, Weston was a major force in pushing forward the art of photography. His photographs are monuments of sensual realism, perfectly composed images of stillness that sear with passion and intensity. Whatever the subject, be it a vegetable, landscape, shell, or naked body, Weston's lens captures the essence of its life force, the fundamentals of its form.
