A fascinating and informative look into the mind of an exceptional wildlife photographer at the moment he captures every picture Award-winning photographer Chris Packham has traveled the world in his quest for the ultimate image. Here, readers are offered a rare glimpse into the imagination of an exceptional photographer at the moment he captures each picture. Chris has chosen these iconic images from over 25 years of traveling. Alongside each image is an accompanying explanation as to why he took it. Chris believes that taking great pictures requires the mind, not just the knowledge of science or of which lens does what. ""It is about engaging that part of the brain which feels for the picture, that learns how to see it coming and then, in that critical instant, makes all the decisions from the heart. No book of technique will help you at the crucial moment. That type of advice has to be far behind you when you are poised finger on button. This is just you, alone, at the only moment in all time when, if you feel it, the picture may be there. It's not spiritual. Equally it's not scientific or empirical. It is artistic. That fusion of all disciplines which some of our species can manifest as a great gift." ", Award-winning photographer Chris Packham has traveled the world in his quest for the ultimate image.

The only trouble is, when late night rehearsals bring Elissa and Liam together, the line between what is and what could have been gets blurred.Ashkan Sahihi's most recent work, reproduced in its entirety in this book, is a portrait of Berlin comprising 375 photographs of women living in Berlin grouped by thirty-five categories such as professions, age brackets, lifestyles, social strata.But today, canonised and mummified, the radical visions of Pearse and the socialist James Connolly are an awkward encumbrance on an Irish state that has its roots in the counter-revolution of the civil war, and which has emerged as a haven of economic neoliberalism.In this fascinating alternative history of modern Ireland, Kieran Allen follows the thread of 1916's 'revolutionary tradition' - an uneasy marriage of Socialism and Republicanism - as it has unravelled across the century.From the strikes, boycotts, occupations and land redistribution that accompanied the war of independence; to the 'carnival of reaction' that followed; all the way up to the current movement against water charges and austerity, Allen reveals the complexities, ruptures and continuities of a revolutionary tradition that continues to haunt the establishment today., Amidst the 100th anniversary commemorations of the Easter Rising, this alternative history of Ireland in 1916 will provide a lesser-known narrative and analysis of events that surrounded Ireland's great political upheaval.Kieran Allen will clear away established assumptions by focussing on the uprising's revolutionary tradition; one that was betrayed, but never eradicated, and that is needed now more than ever in a country that has been laid low by austerity and debt repayments.The book focuses on the clash between the socialist's aspirations and the republican current, and how both were ultimately crushed in the counterrevolution that accompanied the Anglo-Irish treaty of 1921.By re-establishing the political role of socialist republican figures such as James Connelly and Patrick Pearse, 1916: Ireland's Revolutionary Tradition explores the militancy and radicalism that continues to haunt the Irish elite one hundred years later., On 24th April, 1916, Patrick Pearse stepped outside Dublin's occupied General Post Office and read aloud the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, declaring a strike for Irish freedom against the world's greatest imperial power.David Adjmi's take on the life of the famous spoiled queen is a raw, fantastical, and funny work about a moment in time when the political suddenly became very personal.Nasser describes this dialectic and through this shapes a potential future capitalism, and post-capitalism, by revealing how the key structural and political vulnerabilities of capitalism have, and will always be exploited., American Capitalism, Global Crisis is a genealogy of the emergence of a finance-ridden, authoritarian, undemocratic American capitalism, from industrialisation to the present day.The unique compilation has been selected from hundreds of thousands of photos taken during more than a decade of international reporting.Finding Time for Your Self" offers help to bring ourselves back together again and learn how to remember ourselves, not by withdrawing from the world but by being engaged right in the middle of our daily life.ROGER SAVAGE is Honorary Fellow in English at Edinburgh University.
