First published in 1992, Immediate Family has been lauded by critics as one of the great photography books of our time, and among the most influential.Taken against the Arcadian backdrop of her woodland summer home in Virginia, Sally Manns extraordinary, intimate photographs of her children reveal truths that embody the individuality of her own family yet ultimately take on a universal quality. With sublime dignity, acute wit, and feral grace, Manns pictures explore the eternal struggle between the childs simultaneous dependence and quest for autonomythe holding on and the breaking away. This is the stuff of which Greek dramas are made: impatience, terror, self-discovery, self-doubt, pain, vulnerability, role-playing, and a sense of immortality, all of which converge in these astonishing photographs. This reissue of Immediate Family is printed using new scans and separations from Manns original prints, which were taken with an 8-by-10-inch view camera, rendering them with a freshness and sumptuousness true to the original edition.Sally Mann (born in Lexington, Virginia, 1951) is one of Americas most renowned photographers.

Rodeándonos de rituales más o menos complejos pretendemos obviar elhecho innegable que tarde o temprano, todos escucharemos a la Muertesusurrándonos al oído las palabras "Nemini Parco" ("A nadie perdono"). A traves de imagenes sugerentes y visualmente muy contundentes, el trabajo delfotografo Jesus Monterde, lejos de ser un canto a la muerte, pretende ser unreclamo a la vida, a la lucha esperanzada que todos sostenemos diariamentepara no olvidarnos de buscar un rayo de luz en medio de tanta oscuridad. Yquiza encontrarlo.

While a fantastic cause, can the task of protecting animal rights and habitats also be fun? The answer for Spanish photographer Yago Partal is "yes!" as he joyfully embraces important environmental activism with his form of inventive entertainment. His aim is to increase our awareness of animals who need protection—from the Amur leopard to the plains zebra—with his Zoo Portraits project, which launched in 2013. The project presents animals in anthropomorphized form, wearing clothing and accessories that echo the animal's temperament and preferred habitat. It is not Partal's intention to create distance or make light of the animals, but rather to make people think and nudge them to get involved in protecting animals via pictures, education, and awareness. Mission accomplished: Yago Partal's wonderful animal portraits have found a huge audience, with media like CBS and the Daily Mail reporting enthusiastically on the phenomenon. Beautiful, functional products including iPhone cases and even clothes hangers are available for purchase under the Zoo Portraits label. Ten percent of all proceeds are donated to animal welfare organizations. The book has the same objective: to make people smile as well as inform them. In addition to the unique pictures, there is information on each animal's habitat, size, and population as well as interesting and surprising facts. Presented in a clear and attractive format, this book is equally exciting for children and adults.

Cuando el fotógrafo alemán Peter Lindbergh retrató a cinco jóvenes modelos en el centro de Nueva York en 1989, creó no sólo la emblemática portada de enero de 1990 para la versión británica de Vogue, sino que firmo el certificado de nacimiento de las supermodelos. La imagen no se limito a reunir por primera vez cinco rostros venerados, sino que marco el inicio de una nueva era en la moda y una nueva manera de comprender la belleza femenina.Coincidiendo con una importante retrospectiva en el Kunsthal de Roterdam (Paises Bajos), este libro recopila mas de 400 fotografias tomadas por Lindbergh a lo largo de cuatro decadas para rendir homenaje a su capacidad unica y revolucionaria de narrar historias. Sus inconfundibles imagenes monocromaticas, sobrias y seductoras al mismo tiempo, incorporaban un toque romantico y descriptivo que aporto una nueva vision y talento artistico al mundo de la moda y el arte.Considerado un pionero de la fotografia, introdujo un nuevo realismo al redefinir los estandares de belleza con imagenes intemporales. Ya sean retratos o poeticas composiciones de figuras y paisajes, sus creaciones utilizan un lenguaje cinematografico y juegan con arquetipos femeninos en los que sus modelos adoptan poses de bailarinas, actrices, heroinas o mujeres fatales. Ademas, Lindbergh confiere a la fotografia un enfoque humanistico, priorizando la belleza natural y autentica, en un momento en el que predominan los retoques, captando el espiritu y la personalidad tanto como el aspecto fisico y rindiendo homenaje a la elegancia y la sensualidad de las mujeres maduras.Como prueba de la gran reputacion de Lindbergh en el mundo de la moda, sus imagenes van acompañadas de comentarios de colaboradores de la talla de Jean Paul Gaultier, Nicole Kidman, Grace Coddington, Cindy Crawford y Anna Wintour, quien eligio a Lindbergh para que realizara a fotografia de su primera portada del Vogue estadounidense. Los elogios explican por que las imagenes de Lindbergh son unicas y tan poderosas.

There are only two notable differences between toys for little boys and toys for grown-up boys: the toys get bigger with ageand more expensive. Matchbox cars give way to high-end sports cars, model boats become motorboats and sailing yachts, and the plastic wristwatch turns into a Swiss chronograph with a perpetual calendar and minute repeater. The Toys for Men series has always stayed abreast of this male drive to play; in the latest volume, we present the ultimate wish list, a selection of the most exclusive, most innovative, and most luxurious toys that men with money can buy. Of course, the list includes the classic male fantasies of Lear jets, mega- yachts, and super sports carsthe truly giant and great things that move men in the air, on water, or on land. But it also includes the little gadgetsfrom headphones and wristwatches to SLR camerasthat make tech-loving men's hearts beat a little faster. We also include the vices that speak to connoisseurs, like that special bottle of French wine, Scottish whiskey, or Cuban cigars. And last but not least, we include one of the greatest luxuries of all: having a product tailored to you and you alone, bespoke-style. But we're not just talking about custom- tailored suits. Cars, golf clubs, skis, nearly everything today can be customized to suit your particular tastes. If you're searching for the ultimate toys for the gentleman who has everything, you'll hit pay dirt here. Because as philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche already knew, "There is a child hidden in every man: and it wants to play
