Through his images, he carries us beyond the familiar views of penguins to reveal the stern beauty and dignity of their lives.

Celebrated photographer Annie Leibovitz began her career in 1970 at ROLLING STONE, continuing on to work for VANITY FAIR and VOGUE. Since then her documentary work--including capturing Nixon?s resignation and Barack Obama?s campaign--and portraits--of everyone from Patti Smith to Queen Elizabeth to Olympic athletes--have established her influence. In this book the artist discusses her process, touching on technical and aesthetic issues, illustrated, of course, by her stunning pictures.

La posición de Agustín Jiménez frente a las cosas, su deslizamiento en el espacio, como la foto en sí que los muestra a él y a sus alumnos, es un acto revelador: se suprimen en tornos para redimensionar los objetos, muy al contrario de meter todo el caos de ese mundo inmediato. En actos asi, los objetos adquiriran una inusitada dimension, tan grandiosa como terrible, tan sencilla pero tan poderosa. Y eso se convertira en una nueva forma de abstraccion. Una innovadora manera de mirar.

German photography pioneer Karl Blossfeldt (1865-1932) photographed plants so beautifully, and with such originality, that his work transcends the medium itself. Over more than 30 years, he took thousands of photographs, revealing a formally rigorous talent whose precision and dedication bridge the nineteenth and twentieth century worlds of image making and bring a distinctly sculptural aspect to a firmly two-dimensional art form. Beautifully but starkly composed against plain cardboard backgrounds, Blossfeldt's images, relying on a northern light for their sense of volume, reveal nothing of the man but everything of themselves. They are still-lifes, piercingly final statements on their subject, and have endured owing to their technical brilliance and the ongoing fascination of students and photographers. Like their maker, they are quietly and lastingly effective.

The 2008 Pritzker Prize winner explores his career to date The work of France''s most unique and internationally celebrated contemporary architect in a book designed by the master himself. Limited to 1,000 signed and numbered copies packaged in a translucent plexiglass slipcase especially designed by Jean Nouvel for this edition. Recipient of the 2008 Pritzker Prize, Jean Nouvel is without any doubt Frances most original and important contemporary architect. From 1967 to 1970, he was an assistant of the influential architects Claude Parent and Paul Virilio, then creating his own office in Paris. His first widely acclaimed project was the Institut du Monde Arabe in Paris (198187, with Architecture Studio). Since then he has completed the Lyon Opera House (198693), the Euralille Shopping Center, Lille (199194), and the Fondation Cartier, Paris (199194). His major completed projects since 2000 include the Culture and Convention Center in Lucerne, Switzerland (19982000), the spectacular Agbar Tower on Barcelonas Diagonal Avenue (200103), the extension of the Reina Sofia Museum, (Madrid, 19992005), the Quai Branly Museum on the Seine in Paris (200106), and the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Apart from receiving this years Pritzker Prize, Jean Nouvel won the RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects) Gold Medal in 2001. Jean Nouvel worked for five years with author Philip Jodidio on this prodigiously illustrated TASCHEN monograph, a book that will finally give the full measure of the architects talent. Two 400-page hardcover volumes give the most complete overview to date of Jean Nouvels career, including works in progress, such as the new Louvre in Abu Dhabi, the Philharmonie de Paris, and the extension of the MoMA in New York. The books graphic design and images were conceived and selected by the architect; in addition, the transparent printed dust jackets mimic the architects own tendency to play with contrasts and overlaid patterns. One can truly say that this publication is Nouvel by Nouvel, inside and out.
