Crisp snow in deep valleys, high peaks bright in winter sun, sheep huddled under a stone wall, waterfalls frozen into long glistening fingers & then scones by the log fire. Winter is photographer Val Corbett's favourite time of year & this wonderful book show why. Here we have mountains sharply reflected in still water & sweeping panoramas framed by skeleton branches or taken from high above valleys deep in soft cloud. The book opens with the first frosts of autumn & closes with the birth of the early spring lambs & the emergence of Wordsworth's beloved daffodils. Val Corbett's stunning photographs capture the wide winter landscape as well as seasonal festivities close to home
- Christmas, pancakes & the annual marmalade competition. This book is a visual feast & a fine celebration of winter in the Lake District.

” Garry Kasparov has been a vocal critic of Putin for over a decade, even leading the pro-democracy opposition in the 2008 Presidential election. Yet years of seeing his Cassandra-like prophecies about Putin`s intentions fulfilled have left Kasparov with the realization of a darker truth: Putin`s Russia, like ISIS or Al Qaeda, defines itself in opposition to the free countries of the world. Kasparov now urges a forceful stand
- diplomatic & economic
- against him. For as long as the world`s powerful democracies continue to recognize & negotiate with Putin, he can maintain credibility in his home country. Argued with the force of Kasparov`s world-class intelligence, conviction & hopes for his home country, Winter is Coming is an unmistakable call to action.”
