The Guardian is famous for its illustrated "Eyewitness" center spreads, which cast a sideways look at the news and reveal telling details or unexpected consequences of the day''s events. Now, for the first time, they have gathered together a selection of these photographs to tell the story of the first decade of the 21st century, from the the sinking of the Russian nuclear submarine Kursk and George W. Bush''s contested election in 2000, through 9/11, 7/7, conflicts in Iraq, Afghanistan, Georgia, and Sudan, and on to the unveiling of the Large Hadron Collider and Obama''s inauguration. The 2000s may be remembered as a turbulent decade punctuated by terrorist attacks, natural disasters, and financial meltdown, but what The Eyewitness Book of the Decade shows is that even in troubling times, moments of hope and humor shine through.

This second book in the successful FOCUS series unlocks a doorway to the imagination, with a collection of approximately 250 photographs of passages of all kinds, captured by amateur photographers.

Arroyos y lagos cristalinos, ríos imponentes y cataratas ensordecedoras, altas montañas y el azul del Mediterráneo, una gran variedad de especies animales y vegetales, biotopos endémicos y paisajes virgenes, indomitas cadenas montañosas karsticas, calas de ensueño y fertiles llanuras. Croacia y Montenegro ofrecen una increible variedad de paisajes. Si bien ya se han abierto al turismo, ambos paises han podido mantener su autenticidad y sus excepcionales bellezas naturales. Croacia, el pais del Adriatico con sus 1244 islas y una de las costas mas accidentadas del mundo, muestra con orgullo sus ocho parques nacionales y once parques nacionales. Y sin embargo los dos paises no son solo un paraiso para los amantes de la naturaleza: ofrecen tambien una herencia cultural rica, llena todavia hoy en dia de antiguos monumentos, iglesias, monasterios y ciudades y pueblos de cientos de años de antiguedad, tanto en la costa como en el interior.

Aerial Fotographies of Barcelona by aRCHITECT jon Tugores and his plane. An idea of architechts and friends Carles Llop and Vicente Guallart, who were seduced by the way Bazrcelona is read by Jon Tugores´eyes. For the first time , the city is shown from the sea side, acknowledging the close relation of the city and the topography that encloses it. It somehow actualizes the drawings that imagined Barcelona done by the ancient navigators

Few landscapes convey Nature in all of its untamed splendor like the Arctic. Fewer still conjure respect like the seldom traveled and ethereal North Pole. Yet, sadly, this largely pristine and mostly misconceived treasure is now in jeopardy. Sebastian Copeland's noble goal in these pages is to pay homage to this wonderland, and, in turn, draw awareness to its perilous plight. Copeland's multi-faceted background-not only as polar explorer and award-winning photographer, established author and journalist, but also as a dedicated environmental activist-offers us a unique vantage point from which to appreciate this lonely spot. Surely, this is the last true wilderness on the planet-and its demise should ring the alarm for the lower latitudes. Copeland's authority on the subject is unparalleled and, in this book, his passion for this place truly shines. Although the vision presented in these pages may be poetic, the book's aims are pragmatic-to seduce and inspire the world in order to help foster a market transformation towards a sustainable future.

És kitsch. Barcelona? Pregunta agosarada a la qual molts artistes, intel·lectuals i professionals diversos s'han atrevit a contestar en aquest llibre. Ens trobem davant el descobriment de tot el que te la ciutat de fetitxista, decorativa, ensucrada o banal. Sens dubte, una mirada nova i molt original de Barcelona, que la doctora en Historia de l'Art Anna Pujadas s'ha encarregat de recopilar en aquest llibre, que no deixara indiferent a ningu i que generara un debat interessant.

Sometimes, all that is needed to change someones mind is a change of perspective. Flying cameras, freed from the constraints of gravity, redefine how we perceive the world we live in and reveal previously unseen moments of beauty. Very rarely does a new technology level a playing field in an art form, allowing unknown talents to share headlines with established artists. Drones are one of these great equalizers. With this book, we are shining a spotlight on some of the worlds best aerial photography. We examine not just the works of well-known aerial photographers, but also the many phenomenal images captured by non-professionals. The subjects of those showcased range from a volcanic eruption to the abstract patterns of fish farms as seen from above, and from never-before-seen views of Patagonia to powerful impressions of the Cliffs of Moher in Ireland. Above the World is an ode to the beauty of the aerial image as it can be seen and captured by anyone. Let yourself be inspire

Paris is the City of Light, love, and savoir vivre. And this world-class capital is surely one of the planet's most photographed destinations, whether by tourists snapping a quick souvenir shot or professionals with high-end cameras. The brief preview we provide here shows how special this city really is. Paris has never been showcased as impressively, meaningfully, or dramatically as it is by the French photographer Serge Ramelli. His vision of the city--like all of his images--is unmistakably inspired by cinema. In addition to his second passion, filmmaking (which he does when he's not taking pictures), he is also fascinated by the films of Jean-Pierre Jeunet and Ridley Scott. Ramelli's interpretation of the bustling metropolis of Paris is at once impressive and fabulous. Pulsing with life both day and night, the city appears nearly devoid of people--a heavily symbolic place with many facets to explore, shining with an inimitable light.

Franck Bohbot's Light on New York City is a sentimental and nocturnal exploration of "the city that never sleeps." In this photography project that began in 2013, New York City is presented in a series of haunting and cinematic images as seen in the nighttime facades and storefronts of buildings that boast neon marquees and signage, eerily preserved in all of their nostalgic and kitschy glory, to undeniably sleek and contemporary exteriors with more daring architectural design. This aesthetic, along with the predominant absence of people, results in a melancholic atmosphere reminiscent of Edward Hopper paintings and evocative of staged theatrical sets-a merging of a contemporary urban reality and a magical, sentimental artificiality. The photographs featured in Light On New York City convey a luminescence that celebrates modernity while longing for the past in an ironically ageless paradox.

Havana. Just saying the name evokes images of bright Caribbean colors, American cars with fins from the 50s, and once-glorious buildings fallen into ruin. Now that this socialist island country is open once more, this picture will soon change. Now is the time to pause for a moment and take a closer look at Cubas capital city. Bernhard Hartmann starts on the streets, showing us cafes, shops, and boxing clubs, but he also takes us behind the facades of the mansions, whose well-worn charms immediately captivate the viewer. Crumbling plaster, cracked walls, worn stair treads―we see all of this in the pictures, and yet these places are vibrant and alive. Traces of bourgeois life, dignified and stylish, survive despite the adversity, masterfully captured in brilliant photographs.
