In his seminal photography books, Bernhard Edmaier combines his training as a geologist with an exquisite talent for capturing dreamy, colour-saturated, seemingly abstract images of earth from above. In this new volume, Edmaier looks at water-from both the air & the ground-as a source of life & one of the most important landscape-shaping forces on earth. Readers will be enthralled by Edmaier`s stunning shots of water in all its forms-rivers & streams, deltas & floodplains, surging on the coasts, frozen in glaciers, as vaporous clouds & the spray over erupting volcanoes. Edmaier covers familiar & far-flung locations on every continent: from Alaska to the American Southwest; Costa Rica in the Caribbean to Chile & Argentina in South America; Canada, Greenl&, & Russia; Europe from Germany & Switzerl&, to Italy, Croatia, Icel&, & Norway, the African continent from Djibouti to Kenya, Tanzania, Namibia, & the Democratic Republic of Congo; along with Australia, New Zealand & Antarctica. His pictures not only document the beauty of these places but they also tell an edifying & at times alarming story of the changes our earth & its water systems are undergoing as the result of climate change-from desertification to Arctic thaw & rising sea levels. Presented in an extra-large format that magnifies both the intensity & the detail of Edmaier`s work, this extraordinary & important book documents water`s power to create & destroy; to give life & take it away. ...

The consummate Renaissance Man, Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) produced a body of work perhaps unparalleled in history. His sketches & copious notes give us a glimpse into the mind of a genius, as he carefully recorded his environment & experiences in his distinctive mirror-image cursive handwriting & superb sketches. The cover of this luxurious notebook pays homage to Leonardo’s fascination with the concepts of grace & the geometric structure of the universe by reproducing some of his notes on water motion & the moon. The intrinsic beauty of serpentine flow was valued artistically as the most graceful of figurative movements & in his diagram of the light of the moon relative to the brilliance of the sun recorded in the Codex Leicester, we can still see his dedication to the ideal of precision & beauty. Take a leaf out of Leonardo’s book with this superb notebook; be infused with the man’s indomitable curiosity for life’s wonders & grace, & his commitment to note, record & attempt to describe its workings. Smythe sewn wrap; mini format; 176 lined pages; 95 x 140mm;

Includes:: memento pouch & ribbon marker.

For a hundred & fifty years, between the plod of packhorse trains & the arrival of the railways, canals were the high-tech water machine driving the industrial revolution. Amazing feats of engineering, they carried the rural into the city & the urban into the countryside, & changed the lives of everyone. & then, just when their purpose was extinguished by modern transport, they were saved from extinction & repurposed as a `slow highways` network, a peaceful & countrywide haven from our too-busy age. Today, there are more boats on the canals than in their Victorian heyday. Writer & slow adventurer Jasper Winn spent a year exploring Britain`s waterways on foot & by bike, in a kayak & on narrowboats. Along a thousand miles of `wet roads & water streets` he discovered a world of wildlife corridors, underground adventures, the hardware of heritage & history, new boating communities, endurance kayak races & remote towpaths. He shared journeys with some of the last working boat people & met the anglers, walkers, boaters, activists, volunteers & eccentrics who have made the waterways their home. In Britain most of us live within five miles of a canal, & reading this book we will see them in an entirely new light. ...
