This unusual illustrated book with its spectacular photographs is devoted to the complex structures and manifestations to be found in nature. In each of the three main chapters - Earth, Water, and Plants - apparently simple motifs become complex photographic landscapes, nature's works of art. From geological formation in Arizona and Iceland's geysers to pink flamingos-these artistic photographs follow nature's tracks and renew awareness of its fragile beauty.

Dieser außergewöhnliche Bildband widmet sich den vielschichtigen Strukturen unserer Natur. Scheinbar einfache Motive - Erde, Wasser, Pflanzen, Tieere - werden zu komplexen Bildlandschaften, zu spektakulären Kunstwerken der Natur. Von Gesteinsformationen in den USA über isländische Geysire bis hin zu rosaroten Flamingos – es gilt, in diesen kunstvollen Aufnahmen unserer Natur nachzuspüren und den Blick für ihre zerbrechliche Schönheit neu zu schärfen.

This super collection of 60s and 70s baseball images commemorates the sport's finest moments via the lens of legendary sports photographer Neil Leifer

Professional baseball of the 1960s and 1970s belongs to Neil Leifer, the premier sports photographer of his generation. In 1960, at age 17, Neil had the human drive to match his new Nikon motor drive and he was on his way. With gumption and an eye for the decisive moment, the baby-faced kid from Manhattan's lower east side was soon selling his photos to Sports Illustrated. This superb collection of images reflects the total access Neil had to the players on the ball field, in the dugout, and in the locker room. All the pathos, elation, disappointment, and celebration are etched upon the faces of the players and their mercurial fans.

From the 1960 World Series between the Yankees and the Pirates - decided in the 9th inning of the 7th game by a Bill Mazeroski home run - to the 1977 Series between the Yankees and the Los Angeles Dodgers, Neil Leifer never stopped shooting. He was up in the nosebleed section of the grandstands in Yankee Stadium, in the rafters of the Astrodome in Houston, or a helicopter high above.Who won the games wasn't important - only how the game was played. The blood, sweat, and grace. It's all about the game, and Leifer's photographs create a topographical map to the very heart and soul of baseball.

Featuring over 300 photos, the book is divided into four chapters: The Game; the Heroes - like Roberto Clemente, Mickey Mantle, and pitcher Sandy Koufax; the Rivalry (infamously, between the Yankees and the Boston Red Sox and the Giants and Dodgers); and the World Series championship.

This elegant collection from world-renowned interior designer Nina Campbell is a must-have. Featuring her stylish, colourful designs, each item is perfect as a gift for a friend or to keep for your own stationery needs.

Nora is the new girl in school and just wants to make friends. Then one day she spots something unusual out of the corner of her eye - a little blue bunny that only she can see. At last she has someone play with and talk to. When she discovers that a boy in class can also see the rabbit, she makes a real life friend who also has a secret of his own.

Nora's entire story ingeniously takes places on the walls in the photographs. Illustrated in a vibrant graffiti art style, this book comes with two stencils that allow kids and adults to recreate some of their favourite characters from the book.
