Britta Jaschinski''s ascent to the top ranks of British photography has been swift. Her first book, Zoo, was a huge success and won her huge critical and commercial acclaim. For her new book she has widened her scope to focus on animals in their natural habitat, and in so doing subtly illuminates the beauty and fragility of our planet. Gorgeous photographs are accompanied by the photographer''s own haunting, elegiac poem, which runs the course of the book and which meditates on the origins and possible destiny of life on earth. This beautiful volume packs a huge emotional punch, without descending into sentimentality. Its possible readers extend far beyond its certain audience of photography aficionados and environmentalists; it is bound to appeal to anyone of any age who loves animals or who is lured by the call of the wild.

Francesco JodiceIn our times, cityscapes are no longer dictated from above, by urban planners, architects, engineers or even by geography but "from below," by how the people live and work in groups. By simple, aggregated acts, people become spontaneous city planners: their urban design incorporates grafitti and street restaurants; makeshift homes that take their own formal pattern of development; ads and neon lights that become an integral part of the 'natural' landscape, as they have been for decades in Las Vegas. Even civic monuments can emerge, like the hundreds of names of desaprecidos "the disappeared" scratched in dirt in Buenos Aires. These changes are not accidents: they are "What We Want." This kind of global transformation is not a dramatic force compared to erecting a skyscraper or residential housing - sometimes it is not even quite visible. But this force operates in strikingly similar ways in cities around the world; it is a profound social force in that it changes the way we interact and how we ultimately exert control over our environment.
