Full of surprises & insights, More Than Cowboys casts new & entertaining light on the history & personalities of the American West. For example, was Butch Cassidy really killed in a Bolivian shoot-out? It seems that he returned, under a false name, to live out his days in the West. In 1935 he even submitted an autobiographical script to Hollywood, only to have it rejected as being ”too preposterous to be believable.” ...

Award-winning photographer Tim Flach has spent years inquiring into the essential bond we have with animals. Now he presents the culmination of a career-long endeavor, an extraordinary body of work in which each image is more striking & powerful than the last. Just as did Flach`s highly acclaimed previous books, ” Equus ”and ” Dogs, ” ” More than Human ”will amaze & inspire, in a constant affirmation of the animal, whether it be rare or common, powerful or defenseless, odd or majestic. The book showcases a menagerie of creatures--pandas, tigers, bats, lions, orangutans, cobras, bullfrogs, chimpanzees, wolves, porcupines, elephants, owls, armadillos, among many others--as they have never been seen before. Shedding light on Flach`s images will be an accessible collection of texts, written & edited by author Lewis Blackwell. Praise for ” More Than Human: ” ”A gallery of animal portraits that are unlike anything we`ve seen before.” --” The Wall Street Journal” ” His technique is impeccable; this is one of the most gorgeous photography books of the year. But what makes it more than a coffee-table trifle is the way Flach`s images connect us--with near-tactile sensation & soulfulness--to the creatures on display.” --NPR.org ” Arresting portraits that express photographer Flach`s `sense of wonderment in nature.`” --” People” ””” Astoundingly sharp images.”
- The San Francisco Chronicle””” Compelling & unexpected.” --” The Denver Post” ” Treat yourself to the full glory of ” More Than Human, ” for the screen hardly does it justice.” --Brain Pickings.com ”A book of animal photographs guaranteed to dazzle viewers with their color, detail, clarity &, most of all, their uncanny `humanity.`”-- Book Page

Love, loss & competitive tree-climbing are preoccupying the hero of Coelacanth. This is a boy-meets-girl story with a twist, a tumble, several daring somersaults from the branches, & the discovery that love
- like the coelacanth fish that was thought to be extinct
- can lurk in the very darkest depths. In ” Not Everything is Significant”, we meet a biographer who is suffering from writers` block & a footnoter who is a stickler for detail
- together they`re pondering the meaning of a diary that arrived mysteriously through the post which appears to predict the future & prompts some very tricky questions about the nature of destiny. Finally, in ” Supercollider for the Family” a husband & wife each face a challenge: he to build a `supercollider` small enough for household use, she to complete a tightrope walk around the world. Their missions take us from a top-secret particle physics lab deep underground, complete with doors that go `ssh` & women in catsuits, to the vertiginous heights of a wire above a canyon, suspended like a slender silver thread between soil & sky.
