• "If you're into space exploration, this stunning book is pretty much a must-have. It contains pretty much every legacy Apollo snap in one go, alongside some lesser-known pics that are just as spellbinding." — Amy Glover, BuzzFeed.

July 2019 marks the 50th anniversary of the first manned moon landing — a milestone in the history of humankind. Today, the adventure, courage, and ground-breaking accomplishment behind the NASA Apollo missions remains as compelling as ever.

This thrilling photo book features previously-unpublished photographs from the NASA archives, now meticulously digitized, captured by the Apollo astronauts during their missions. From some 27.000 NASA images, the book’s authors have curated 225 of the most remarkable Apollo mission pictures, creating a uniquely vivid document of one of the most seminal events of the 20th century. Accompanying these extraordinary Apollo photographs are little-known insider facts and fascinating insights into the Apollo missions, including a detailed Foreword from NASA astronaut, Walter Cunningham.

Not only a must-have book for fans of air and space travel, Apollo VII – XVII is a hit for anyone interested in photography, pop culture, and modern history.

Authors Floris Heyne, Joel Meter, Simon Phillipson, and Delano Steenmeijer scoured the vast NASA photo archives to select the most outstanding photos of the Apollo missions. Walter Cunningham is a former Apollo astronaut, serving as Lunar Module pilot on the Apollo 7 mission, the first manned flight of the Apollo program that launched into orbit on the Saturn 1-B rocket.

• "These crisp, colour-soaked images are a labour of love that honours rare breeds such as the European bison and the Celtic longhorn, exploring pastures in Austria, Colombia, Ethiopia and beyond." —Sarah Barrell, National Geographic Traveller.
  
  
• "Lampert is a leading voice in this space, and The Cow is a glorious tribute to cows and humanity’s relationship to them, featuring more than 480 photos of cows from around the world." —Joe McCarthy, Global Citizen. 

"Whole eons of love will be necessary to recompense the animals for their services to us." With this quote from Christian Morgenstern, leading sustainability expert and organic entrepreneur Werner Lampert opens his illustrated book, The Cow: A Tribute, a project very dear to his heart. Lampert developed a passion for cattle from an early age. Again and again, he was drawn to the pastures of his native Austria to admire these dignified, gentle animals and their calming effect. With its rich photography, this evocative book pays tribute to the soulfulness of cattle and the special bond between man and cow, much threatened in our age of industrial-scale farming.

Around the world, Lampert and his team of select photographers have tracked down the most beautiful, rare cattle, capturing them in their natural and often spectacular surroundings with empathy and respect. A touching testimony to a much-loved animal, the gorgeous images in The Cow: A Tribute are rounded out with profound, at times poetic, texts; informative facts and history about different cattle breeds; and entertaining anecdotes.

The long-awaited continuation of the "Vertikal"-series

With his Vertical series, photographer Horst Hamann goes against the standards in architectural photography and convinces. After his great success "Paris Vertical" and "New-York Vertical", the new coffee table book "London Vertical" is now published. In it, Hamann presents well-known sights from a completely new perspective, namely upright, and thus amazes his fans with a completely new view of these buildings and landmarks of the world-famous metropolis on the Thames.
 
The passionate photo artist was born in Mannheim in 1958 and discovered the camera for himself at the age of eleven. Having grown up on two continents, Europe and America, he began an intensive artistic exploration of the extreme format of panorama photography in 1985. But it was not until 1991 that what Hamann's followers adore about him today happened: He turned his camera to portrait format for the first time at the intersection of 41st Street and Avenue of the Americas and has since been called the "inventor" of vertical photography among insiders. His photographs not only testify to his great skill and compositional talent, Hamann manages in a unique way to stage well-known motifs in a completely new way. As a reader, you look at his pictures with curiosity and look forward anew to recognising the sights in each photo.

The coffee-table book "London Vertical" is a delight both for lovers of the British capital and for fans of Hamann's work. Whether Big Ben, Tower Bridge, London Eye or The Shad, Hamann presents all these sights, which have already been photographed thousands of times, in his own creative way and thus creates something completely new. It is fun to pick up this illustrated book again and again, because the unusual approach to the motifs is interesting for the eye and brings new details to the fore.

"Floral" is an impressive coffee-table book that aims to archive the biodiversity of our planet. Because climate change is now threatening every second plant species.

The result is outstanding photographs that leave the viewer in rapt amazement, for we have never perceived nature in this way.

The plants appear transparent and yet in bright colours.

Paolo Di Paolo

The extraordinary illustrated book "La lunga strada di sabbia" is the unprecedented documentation of a travel reportage by the writer and later director Pier Paolo Pasolini and the photographer Paolo Di Paolo. The two men are still young in the summer of 1959, just 37 and 34 years old, and set out together to document Italian summer holidays on behalf of Arturo Tofanelli, editor-in-chief of the monthly magazine Successo and the weekly Tempo. The two, who had never met before, travel south along the coast from Ventimiglia to Trieste. While Pasolini, the writer, is looking for a world of lost literary ghosts, Di Paolo wants to depict an Italy that looks to the future. The title "La lunga strada di sabbia", which translates as "The long road of sand", also comes from him. It is precisely these contrasting approaches that will later give this travel reportage its very special significance as a witness to this era.

The Coffee Table Book is a unique insight into a rediscovered documentary photo archive. It shows in an impressive way the changing Italy of the late 1950s, which was just at the beginning of the economic miracle. But the country and its inhabitants are still insecure and have not fully recovered from the war. People travel long distances to spend a relaxing holiday by the sea. 

When looking at the pictures, nostalgic feelings arise. The vivid scenes, which are presented to the reader in a calm freeze frame, invite you to discover the many details in detail. Everything becomes tangible, the fashion of the time, everyday life, even the prevailing mood can be guessed. 
A great work for all those interested in history and Italy. 200 black-and-white photographs on 256 pages take the reader into a past Italy that is on the threshold between hope and fear, future and past.

Revised Edition

New York's evolution through time, devoid of glitz and glamour, is masterfully captured by the renowned photographer Thomas Hoepker in his Revised and Extended edition of "New York". The artist, a resident of the mega metropolis himself, has been passionately photographing his hometown since the 1960s. His insights into this unique city are far removed from the image entrenched in people's minds about the big city. Hoepker portrays the people, their way of life, their homes, and their leisure activities, unfiltered and directly.

The book not only portrays the metropolis and its inhabitants but also traces the artistic development of Hoepker himself. The photographs are sourced from the photographer's extensive New York archive and shine with stylistic diversity. Black-and-white formats alternate with color photos, and impressive architectural shots are juxtaposed with lively street-style snapshots.

Undoubtedly, one of the standout aspects of this work is the multitude of images dealing with September 11th. Here, Thomas Hoepker was one of the few professional photographers on-site, documenting contemporary history with his captures, which still send shivers down the viewer's spine today. He not only depicts the event itself but also the city's later handling of the catastrophe.

For those seeking an unapologetically honest and unpretentious book about New York and its inhabitants, "New York" is the answer. An impressive testament of its time, one that you'll eagerly pick up time and time again to relive the atmosphere of this unique metropolis.

In the Beauty of Bad Weather

Bad weather? Everyone rushes home, only Christophe Jacrot grabs his camera and sets off. The French photographer is considered the pope of bad weather photography. He specifically looks for rain, snowstorms and fog to take his grandiose, beautiful, melancholic shots. For it is precisely this mood that inspires the photographer to take his unique pictures. In his photographs, you see empty streets that seem almost mystical in the very special light conditions of the bad weather fronts. Few people, reduced, concentrated scenes framed by snowflakes or raindrops, this essence in the pictures is what makes Jacrot's photographs so appealing to his fans.

In the illustrated book "Lost in the Beauty of Bad Weather", Jacrot tells poetic photographic stories about the metropolises that sink before his lens in the effects of weather phenomena such as rain showers and snow flurries. His subject could come from a film noir, but the artist deliberately uses bright colours. 

Despite its inhospitable imagery, the coffee table book "Lost in the Beauty of Bad Weather" has a strangely peaceful effect on the viewer and radiates a transfigured romanticism. Similar to looking out the window on a rainy day and observing the force of nature from a safe place. For all fans of Christophe Jacrot's spectacular nature photography, "Lost in the Beauty of Bad Weather" is the perfect gift.

• A pioneering book of nature photography from environmental campaigner and photographer, Cristina Mittermeier

• Captures some of the most endangered animals, remote communities, and extreme corners on earth

• An astonishing collection of nature photography and an inspiration for sustainable living with others and our environment

From ocean shores to some of the most remote indigenous communities in the world, photographer Cristina Mittermeier explores humanity’s relationship with the planet and possibilities for a mindful, sustainable future.

Cristina Mittermeier knows a thing or two about water. Trained as a marine biologist and a photographer, the Mexico City-born Cristina Mittermeier combines her work behind the lens with her passion for environmentalism, taking pictures around the world to explore our relationship to the earth and ocean and to draw attention to the beauty and the plight of our planet.

In "Amaze", Cristina Mittermeier elicits our wonder and awe at the natural world and the labyrinth or “maze” of navigating a sustainable existence. The book combines two series: “Enoughness” and “The Water’s Edge.”

The first draws out Cristina Mittermeier’s philosophy for a mindful and sustainable way of being in the world. Bringing together photographs from some of the most isolated corners of the earth, the book shows wild animals, remote landscapes, and indigenous peoples—challenging the cult of material wealth and proposing alternatives for a meaningful and sustainable connection to our environment, each other, and ourselves.

In “The Water’s Edge,” Cristina Mittermeier presents photographs from around the globe that capture the frontier between land and ocean and the special meaning it has for human life. Whether it is fishermen bringing in their daily haul, women washing laundry in the shallows, or surfers frolicking in the spray, the water’s edge is revealed as an integral and universal space in which ephemeral moments reveal not only our common dependency on the planet, but also our common humanity.

As much an inspiration for sustainable living as a staggering collection of nature photography, "Amaze" is a must-have book for all those who care about our planet and those we share it with.

"Luxury" - the name of this opulent coffee table book alone says it all. It's all about aesthetics, decadence, beauty, trends, glamour, and money. The well-known photographer, journalist, brand and communications consultant Michael Köckritz has taken a detailed look at this fascinating world of the rich, celebrities and stars in his latest coffee table book. In an impressive visual language, backed by informative texts, he shows the most important luxury brands of our modern times. Watches, cars, bags, buildings, holiday resorts and jewellery, the author touches on all luxury-related subject areas and unerringly pinpoints the respective key items.

In doing so, the author does not want to show off. As an expert, the philosophical, psychological and sociological aspects of the phenomenon of luxury are important to him. And in an almost admirable way, he succeeds in doing justice to this scientific claim and at the same time, with his magnificent photos, draws the reader into the spell of this world geared towards beauty and perfection. 

"Luxury" is bursting with outstanding images and high-quality texts. The coffee table book embodies its own theme to perfection and thus becomes an art project that is even accompanied by an art exhibition and a film/moving image production.

This coffee table book is the perfect gift for anyone fascinated by the emotions and myths surrounding luxury.
