Firecrackers Bok
<b>A vivid showcase of work by more than thirty of the world's leading contemporary female documentary photographers.</b><br/><br/>The photographic industry - its exhibitions, galleries, publications and auctions - employs thousands of women, but champions mostly men. To begin to redress the balance, here is a timely presentation of the work of over 30 female photographers working today. This book is predominantly a celebration of some of the most inquisitive, intelligent and daring photography being created now. The stories the photographers tell are the most pressing social, political and personal issues seen through the female lens.<br/><br/>Firecracker, established in 2011 by Fiona Rogers, is a platform dedicated to supporting female photographers worldwide by showcasing their work. Building upon Firecracker's foundations, this book brings together photography that encompasses an eclectic variety of styles, techniques and locations, from Alma Haser's futuristic series of portraits that use origami to create 3D sculptures within the frame, to Laura El-Tantawy's filmic and intensely personal series on political protest in Cairo. There is a recurring theme throughout the book that serves to unite these extraordinary women and their work: the exploration of marginalized individuals and under-discussed subjects, seen by fresh eyes.<br/><br/>Fiona Rogers and Max Houghton offer insightful and expert authorship and curation. In their respective, well-established roles in the industry they understand, influence and advocate for contemporary documentary photography today.

The Path To Paradise Bok
<p><b>The definitive account of the legendary Francis Ford Coppola's decades-long dream to reinvent American film-making, if not the entire world.</b><br/><br/>'Supremely entertaining.' <i>New York Times</i><br/><br/>'Mouth-watering . . . Sizzingly vivid and compulsive.' <i>Daily Telegraph</i><br/><br/>Having conducted hundreds of interviews with Coppola, and those who have worked closely with him, Sam Wasson weaves together an extraordinary portrait. A man who is charming, brilliant, but also plagued by restlessness, recklessness and a desire to operate perpetually at the extremes. It is a story inextricably bound up in the making of one of the greatest quixotic masterpieces ever attempted, <i>Apocalypse Now</i>. That story, already the stuff of legend, has never been fully told until this extraordinary book..</p>

Every Man For Himself And God Against All Bok
<p>Werner Herzog is the undisputed master of extreme cinema: building an opera house in the middle of the jungle; walking from Munich to Paris in the dead of winter; descending into an active volcano; living in the wilderness among grizzly bears - he has always been intrigued by the extremes of human experience.<br/><br/>From his early movies to his later documentaries, he has made a career out of exploring the boundaries of human endurance: what we are capable of in exceptional circumstances and what these situations reveal about who we really are. But these are not just great cinematic themes. During the making of his films, Herzog pushed himself and others to the limits, often putting himself in life-threatening situations.<br/><br/>As a child in rural Bavaria, a single loaf of bread had to last his family all week. The hunger and deprivation he experienced during his early years perhaps explain his fascination with the limits of physical endurance.All his life, Herzog would embrace risk and danger, constantly looking for challenges and adventures.<br/><br/>Filled to the brim with memorable stories and poignant observations, <i>Every Man for Himself and God against All</i> unveils the influences and ideas that drive his creativity and have shaped his unique view of the world. This book tells, for the first time, the story of his extraordinary and fascinating life.</p>

<p><b>'The book of the year' <i>SUNDAY TIMES</i><br/>'One of the very best biographies I have ever read' STEPHEN FRY<br/>'A hot thunderstorm of a book' DAVID HARE<br/>'<i>Erotic Vagrancy</i> gave me a week of pure joy' CRAIG BROWN<br/>'Unputdownable' TONY PALMER<br/>'A genius writer' LYNN BARBER<br/>'ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE . . . ONE OF THE GREAT READING EXPERIENCES OF MY LIFE' MARINA HYDE<br/>A TOP 25 BEST BOOK OF 2023 <i>(INDEPENDENT)</i></b><br/><br/>Thirteen years in the writing, Erotic Vagrancy doesn't only surpass every other biography of Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton yet to appear, this rich, vital and passionately articulated book, which is as extravagant and wayward as its two subjects, is also about celebrity, creativity, being flawed, being brilliant, sexuality, the intermingling of a low and a highbrow existence, pride, insecurity, attraction and repulsion, and devilry.<br/><br/>We see Taylor the child actress exchanging dogs and horses for husbands. We see Burton emerging from the mists and brimstone of Wales to be the greatest theatrical animal of his generation. The pair come together in Rome during the making of Cleopatra, which gives Lewis the opportunity for a major farcical set-piece. We then enter a world of jewels and private jets, vodka, yachts and furs - the splendid vulgarity of the Sixties, where the narrative of Taylor and Burton becomes a Pop Art story.<br/><br/>Then, inevitably, it all goes wrong, with alcoholism, violence, recrimination and divorce ( twice ) - with Burton, whom Lewis depicts as a Faustus figure, damned by fame, dead at fifty-eight.<br/><br/>Stephen Fry has said, 'It is one of the very best biographies I have ever read. One of the best books about fame, desire, Hollywood and mid-to-late twentieth century culture ever written. Inside which, brilliant, hilarious and sensitive insights on all manner of subjects fizz and froth. Magnificent, terrible, tragic, triumphant.'</p>
