Aerial photography is prohibited in India. It can only be done with permission from various government agencies. It is for this reason that there are hardly any substantial books on India from the air. For the first time, Nicolas Chorier achieves this feat by using the fascinating technique of kite photography (taking aerial pictures by using a kite to lift the camera).
This book showcases the finest work of the French photographer, who has been shooting in India for many years. Seen here are unique and spectacular views of the wonders of India; jewels such as Amber Fort, Mehrangarh Fort, Nagaur Fort, Pushkar, Chittorgarh, Taj Mahal, Hampi, Mamallapuram and the beaches and backwaters of Kerala. Accompanying the pictures is the photographer’s anecdotal take on his India odyssey. For anyone who loves India and its rich heritage, this lavish book is a sumptuous treat for the eyes.
José Bedia: Inner Circle Journey 1976 – 2026 is a rich exploration of the career and work of Cuban artist – José Bedia. From being a formative member of the “Volumen Uno” Cuban art renaissance, Bedia’s international outreach continually grew from the 1980’s onward, reaching worldwide acclaim – spanning from his participation in the monumental exhibit Magiciens de la Terre in 1989 to winning First Prize at the Beijing Biennale in 2010. His unique artistic craft focuses on organic elements, tribal symbology, and shamanism from diverse cultures. Bedia’s work and artistic creations are deeply informed by living and past ancestral communities everywhere and his personal interactions with them, while simultaneously using a “field work” approach of an ethnographer or anthropologist to create his paintings, drawings, sculptures, and installations. Anchored by his 5-decade retrospective at the MARCO Museum of Monterrey, and also accompanied by text from various art scholars, this book will look at his trajectory focusing on his different styles and periods throughout the years, as well as images from his personal travels, and tribal collection, that directly impact his artistic output.

“Dafydd Jones’s photographs capture the future establishment at their most unguarded.”— FT How To Spend It
Cambridge Balls is the sensational new book by bestselling society photographer Dafydd Jones. The Cambridge University colleges are renowned for many great alumni and important achievements… and also a series of marathon all-night parties, known as the May Balls, held annually to celebrate the end of the academic year. Dafydd Jones, who according to The New York Times, ‘goes about his business with cheery zest and a wicked eye’, has been granted unique access to this hidden world of revelry since 1981, during which the author of England: The Last Hurrah and Hollywood Confidential has captured an extraordinary tableau of antics and shenanigans now beautifully reproduced on these pages. From former British Prime Minister David Cameron in his Bullingdon coat to victorious rowing teams celebrating into the night, from gate crashers punting across the river to the more international student groups of modern times toasting their successes, this is a fascinating portrait of jubilation among the young, the wealthy and the academic elites of one of the world’s most famous universities.
Praise for England: The Last Hurrah…
“Wonderfully ironic, every point in the picture ignites and knows how to entertain very well.” — Lovely Books
“Dafydd catches those moments of genuine exhilaration, wealth and youth.” — The Hollywood Reporter
Praise for Hollywood Confidential…

“Sublime vintage photographs…” –– Hermione Eyre, The Telegraph
“Some carefully tended public images are punctured with such rapier precision that one can hear the hiss as they deflate.” –– Mitchell Owens, The World of Interiors
At its essence, Ayurveda – the traditional science of life – is
the art of aligning with nature. Whether it is the human body, changing seasons or the circadian rhythms that guide our days, Ayurvedic living is about respecting the intelligence of the universe and finding harmony with its cycles. This makes Ayurveda both layered and deeply personal. There is never one sweeping solution; rather, it is an individualized approach that honors each person’s unique body type. It is about eating, moving, and resting in rhythm with our natural tendencies, and rediscovering balance so that we may live not just longer, but better, with vitality, clarity and grace.
This book is intended to be a bridge between tradition and contemporary living. It is an attempt to democratize the wisdom of classical Ayurvedic texts – profound and intricate – and make them relevant to lives shaped by late nights, rushed meals, and overstimulation from constant screen time. Though we may be far removed from the slower pace of ancient life, it is precisely through Ayurveda that we can access some of the most practical and transformative tools for modern wellbeing.
If Ayurveda teaches us anything, it is that that health is not merely the absence of illness, but the presence of harmony, which looks different for each of us. The practices and recipes within are meant to be explored, adapted, and made your own. Because Ayurveda isn’t about restriction, but expansion and guiding you through life with resilience and joy.
Few marques command the same reverence as Ferrari — a symbol of Italian artistry, innovation, and unrelenting pursuit of excellence. Since Enzo Ferrari founded the brand in 1947, the Prancing Horse has stood not just for performance, but for a way of life defined by style, emotion, and craftsmanship. The Essence of Ferrari Unfolded celebrates this spirit in all its forms — from the sculpted curves of the 250 GTO and LaFerrari to the precision engineering that turns mechanical movement into poetry. Through breathtaking photography and insightful storytelling, the book explores the DNA of Ferrari: design, speed, sound, and the people who live for them. It delves into the creative worlds of designers, drivers, engineers, and dreamers, capturing how Ferrari continues to merge technology and beauty in perfect harmony. Beyond the racetrack, the book unfolds Ferrari’s cultural impact — from haute couture collaborations and architectural icons to its influence on film, art, and design.

Red Flags is a visual field guide to modern behavior — part satire, part mirror, and part survival manual. Created by Belgian designer and visual storyteller Bart Kiggen, the book unpacks the characters, archetypes, and micro-cultures that shape our digital and emotional lives. From the Ghoster to the Apex Pretender, from the Brand Messiah to the Yuppie Mephistopheles, each red flag is drawn, described, and decoded with wit and precision. Blending staged photography, cultural critique, and design, Red Flags turns online performance into visual anthropology. It examines how attention became identity and how charisma, care, or confidence can all tip into manipulation.
Each portrait is both absurd and familiar, reminding us that the red flags we recognize in others often reflect our own. In this carefully composed and conceptually sharp book, Bart Kiggen uses imagery, humor, and typography to explore the psychology of the age of exposure. Red Flags invites readers to look closer, laugh more softly, and perhaps notice a few signals in themselves before it’s too late.
Supported by a wealth of photographs of archaeological objects, this book delves into a fascinating world of ancestral spirits, revealed by the surprising richness and variety of these pre-Columbian pieces fashioned out of various materials. These works, on exhibition in the Museo Casa del Alabado, in Quito (Ecuador), outline the pre-Columbian view of the world centred on a flow of energy aimed at preserving life. These pieces evoke this primordial energy emerging from mother earth, the source of the good deeds performed by spirits and the ancestral guardian of the permanent renewal of the world of daily life, where spirits constantly draw on the balance of the forces ensuring their survival. Pre-Columbian art has the extraordinary capacity to express the power of reciprocal opposites which together provide a meaning to the existence of animate and inanimate beings.
Hard materials, such as stones and shells, served to embody powerful spirits, such as carts, macaws, or primordial ancestors. Ceramics were suitable for the depiction of ordinary plants and animals. The extraordinary growth of metalworking skills led to the creation of ornamental pieces designed for the elite (chest decorations, nose jewellery, earrings, and crowns) whose purpose was to reflect the power of the sun.
Each picture in the book is accompanied by notes explaining the function the article would have served, while acknowledging that these pieces have lost none of their expressiveness in the modern world.

The Arts and Crafts Movement, founded in the philosophies of John Ruskin and William Morris, produced some of the world’s most enduring architectural masterpieces. Author and architect David Cole presents the 100 great Arts and Crafts houses, each individually described and analyzed with insightful detail and floor plans, and illustrated with stunning photography. Beginning with Morris’s own iconic Red House, the book traces the fifty-year span of the movement, with a short chapter dedicated to each of these extraordinary houses: from the works of the pioneer Arts and Crafts architects, to the great reformer architects of the next generation, to the craftsman architects who took their lives and their work to the countryside, to the movement’s Scottish architects, and finally to the houses of the Garden Cities and suburbs built through the movement’s last decade before the First World War. The book features the great houses of some forty of the movement’s most renowned architects, including Philip Webb, R. Norman Shaw, E.S. Prior, William Lethaby, C.F.A. Voysey, Edgar Wood, Ernest Gimson, the Barnsley brothers, C.R. Ashbee, M.H. Baillie Scott, Edwin Lutyens, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Robert Lorimer, Parker and Unwin, and many others.
As Morris famously said, “Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful or believe to be beautiful.”

Eric Schmitt (born in 1955) is a renowned French designer and sculptor internationally recognized for his sculptural, timeless furniture and objects. Self-taught, he began his career creating expressive wrought-iron pieces before evolving toward refined, minimalist forms inspired by nature, architecture, and his upbringing in Poitou, France.

This is a book about the future. Not the bleak, dystopian kind that so many seem convinced we’re heading toward, but one that is built on hope, possibility, and progress.
Humanity faces complex global challenges, from technological and geopolitical shocks to social and ecological disruptions. Fear, hesitation, and avoidance won’t help us overcome them. Slowing down is not the answer. We must move faster, think bigger, and fully leverage technology to build a future worth striving for. We need active hope and bold leaders who can turn adversity into opportunity.
The Uncertainty Principle focuses on the key levers of transformation to help leaders rethink and reshape their companies: strategy, foresight, organizational design, culture, innovation, risk appetite, and the evolving nature of work. Above all, it serves as a guide for those who see cracks in the system not as warnings, but as windows—those daring enough to believe they can change the world, because they are the ones who will.

“Uncertainty isn’t a threat—it’s the raw material for tomorrow’s opportunities. This book helps leaders imagine the impossible and install hope to change the future. A must-read!” — David De Cremer, Dean of D’Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University

This visually rich monograph explores the ceramic practice of Jane Yang D’Haene, whose work bridges memory, material, and identity through clay. Accompanied by immersive photography throughout, the book traces Yang D’Haene’s journey from architecture and interior design to ceramics, revealing an artistic language shaped by Korean heritage, diasporic experience, and deeply personal transformation.
Structured through a series of poetic and critical chapters—including reflections on moon jars, glaze, painting, transition, and studio practice—the book moves between intimate autobiography and broader cultural inquiry. Yang D’Haene writes with lyrical sensitivity about loss, displacement, ritual, and the search for balance between past and present. Her vessels emerge not simply as objects, but as emotional and psychological landscapes that hold both remembrance and reinvention.
Essays by Glenn Adamson and Hyeyoung Cho situate her work within contemporary ceramic discourse, abstraction, and the evolving condition of diasporic identity. Together, the texts illuminate a practice rooted equally in disciplined craftsmanship and conceptual openness.
More than a survey of ceramic works, this book is a meditation on endurance, material memory, and the quiet possibilities of making. Through clay, Yang D’Haene creates a space where Korea and America, grief and beauty, silence and expression coexist in delicate equilibrium.

In today’s economy, everything has changed. In order to survive, managers and organizational leaders will have to address the need to connect to the largest possible audience without losing touch with the individual. But how does this work? How can managers look ahead? How can they imagine how their company will be doing in thirty years from now, and do so in an environment where predictions have become all but impossible, and then at the same time successfully imprint their vision into a strategy for the next three months from now? What makes today’s customers tick? Why does everything have to be easy, fast, fun and simple? Why is data the new gold, and why is AI a blessing? The answer is plain. To keep evolving, leaders should be inspired by the outside world. They should have the guts to read the signals all around them. They should meet the needs of their customers and, above all, they should focus on every possibility. In short, they should never stop experimenting.
