Thoughtful Composition is a photography book filled with minimalist architecture imagery and modern textures. It is a small table book that you can also take with you for beautiful inspiration.

A thought-provoking look at the relationship between humans and the natural world. In this photo essay, striking images of centuries-old trees act as powerful symbols of humanity's control over nature. But the trees - like humans - also reflect the social conditions within which they have developed and grown.

In der Geschichte der Architektur erscheinen die Städte Rom und Las Vegas in starkem Kontrast: Während die ehemalige Hauptstadt des Römischen Reiches als antik, vornehm und vielschichtig wahrgenommen wird, gilt "Sin City", die Stadt der Sünde, als schrill, vulgär und künstlich. Und doch befinden sich beide Städte historisch und zeitgenössisch an der Schnittstelle von Macht und Spiel.Fünfzig Jahre nach dem Erscheinen von Denise Scott Brown und Robert Venturis ikonischem Buch "Lernen von Las Vegas" (1972) offenbaren die Aufnahmen in diesem Buch ungeahnte Übereinstimmungen und Zusammenhänge der beiden Städte, aus der Luft bis zum Fussboden; das Spektakel Las Vegas wird auf Roms Strassen wiederentdeckt. Iwan Baans Fotografien kontrastieren und untergraben herkömmliche Auffassungen von Authentizität und Künstlichkeit und stellen solche polaren Kategorisierungen letztendlich infrage. Auf diese Weise erörtern die Aufnahmen Scott Browns und Venturis Plädoyer, zuerst zu schauen, zu verstehen und erst dann zu urteilen.

Strange Animals is a compelling introduction to some of nature's most curious beasts. Arranged geographically, over 180 photographs are accompanied by fascinating captions explaining the quirky characteristics of each entry, including egg-laying mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, cannibalistic insects and other invertebrates.How does a mudskipper fish manage to "walk" on land? Why is the Hoatzin also known as 'The Stinkbird'? And once the female Pipa toad has laid her eggs, where does she put them? The answers? The mudskipper can "walk" using its pectoral fins, the Hoatzin has a unique digestive system which gives the bird a manure-like odour, and the female Pipa Toad embeds its eggs on its back where they develop to adult stage. Illustrated throughout with outstanding colour photographs, Strange Animals presents the most unusual aspects of 100 of the most unusual species. The selection spans a broad spectrum of wildlife, from the tallest land living mammal, the giraffe, to the light, laughing chorus of Australian kookaburra birds, from the intelligence of the Bottlenose dolphin to octopuses that change colour when they dream to the slow pace of the three-toed sloth. Arranged geographically, the photographs are accompanied by fascinating captions, which explain the quirky characteristics of each entry. Including egg-laying mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, cannibalistic insects and other invertebrates, Strange Animals is a compelling introduction to some of nature's most curious beasts.

Here is a collection of photos of my father's ancestors that were passed down through the generations. The oldest ancestor I have a picture of was my great-great-grandfather Auguste Ducloisel Bertrand, born in 1837. He was a Civil War Veteran and wounded Prisoner of War who returned home disabled but thankful to be alive.The fun thing about old photos is that they allow you to become a virtual eyewitness to what is in the scene. In your imagination, you can travel back in time and peek over the shoulder of the photographer. This photobook is like a virtual time machine. Go back in time to see my father's ancestors in the late 1890s. My father had an uncle who fought in World War One and brought back pictures to show his family. Those photos of his military camp were passed down to me. Look and see what he and his fellow soldiers were doing.If you are intrigued by a true representation of what my ancestors experienced and photographed in the "olden days," you will enjoy this book and have a glimpse into the daily life of South Louisiana natives.MY FAMILY TREE I have also worked on my family history and genealogy over the years, and have traced my family roots to Western Europe, back to the 1700s. Our country's origins include French, German, Irish, Basque, Italian, and Dutch surnames.South Louisiana area towns of interest are Lawtell, Mallet, Prairie Ronde, and Opelousas.Items of interest to look for are the hair and clothing styles, as well as home architectural design styles and farm life.The following family surnames from south Louisiana are now found around North America. Here is a list of my father's ancestors' surnames from Western Europe and Canada going back seven generations: Bertrand, Ledoux, Andrepont, Frutel, Sittig, Pitre, McDaniel, Chachere, Fontenot, Joubert, Broussard, Vige, Aucoin, Contini, Ewald, Vaucherey, Langlois, Thibodeaux, Cochran, Guillory, Benoit, Catoir, La Jeunesse, Sonnier, Rougeau, Dumond, Le Stage, Aymond, Jeansonne, Brignac, Rondot, Demouy, Doucet, Evans, Watson, Sedat, Trahan, LeFebre, and Culeret.

Die Bilder von John Peter Askew zeigen uns die Poesie des Alltäglichen. WE II, an dem drei Jahre lang gearbeitet wurde, ist der Nachfolgeband von WE, das Charlotte Cotton als "ein wundervolles Buch... eine schöne, nahe, unglaublich berührende und umfangreiche fotografische Geschichte" beschrieb. WE II ist ein episches, generationenübergreifendes Porträt einer einzigen Familie am östlichsten Punkt Europas. Dennoch gehen die Fotografien über ihre spezifischen Gegebenheiten hinaus. Askew lenkt die Aufmerksamkeit auf unser "bestes Selbst", indem er uns auffordert, uns die Möglichkeit einer besseren, spielerischeren Welt vorzustellen, und uns zeigt, wer wir sein könnten. Dieses Werk, das sich über ein Vierteljahrhundert erstreckt, ist eine zeitgemäße und eigenwillige Chronik, die Freundschaft, Gemeinsamkeit und Liebenswürdigkeit in den Mittelpunkt stellt.
