Hardcover. Condition: used. First Edition. Merchant Ivory's English Landscape is the first book to examine in detail four widely acclaimed English films - A Room with a View, Maurice, Howards End and The Remains of the Day - the result of the unique collaboration of more than thirty years of American director James Ivory, Indian producer Ismail Merchant, and German-born scriptwriter Ruth Prawer Jhabvala.In Merchant Ivory's English Landscape author John Pym's engaging text gives a refreshing account of Merchant Ivory's four recent English movies (and some of the partnership's earlier works as well), taking the reader behind the scenes of the making of the films, revealing how aspects of the English people and culture were researched and portrayed, locations chosen, and scenes executed. Nearly 100 superb film stills and production shots - most reproduced in color and never before seen - re-create the quintessential flavor and sense of place of Merchant Ivory's films. Intermingled with scenes of England's timeless landscapes and gardens, grand country houses, cityscapes, and views of Oxford and Cambridge are more intimate scenes, detailed interiors, and close-ups of the actors.

Hardcover. Condition: used. "These images are a spectacular reaffirmation that we are privileged to live in the greatest age of exploration the world has ever known."-From Arthur C. Clarke's forewordSince the 1960s the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has been sending unmanned satellites to explore the planets, moons, and sun. These probes have amassed a stunning visual record of other worlds, revealing not one but scores of new frontiers, from rust-red Mars to the ethereal rings of Saturn.Author Michael Benson has spent years compiling and digitally processing the best of these images. In Beyond this "deskbound cosmic pilgrim" (Atlantic Monthly) has pulled together the most spectacular of them into one volume that presents these photographs for the first time as art. The resulting book consists of two parts: the first is a spectacular visual tour of the solar system, with views every bit as compelling as the work of the great landscape photographers on earth; the second is a series of beautifully written essays that explain the story behind these photographs: the history of the probes' journeys, how they work, and why they were built. This book shows us how modern science has revealed the astonishing beauty and mystery of the solar system and its awe-inspiring worlds far beyond any places human beings have ever directly observed. 5030.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. First Edition. The Virgin Mary inspires intense religious devotion throughout the Catholic world. In her 350 official incarnations-among them Our Lady of Fatima, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Lourdes, and The Mother of Sorrows-Mary brings a feminine face to worship, and serves as a conduit for the redemption of humanity. This beautiful and timeless book by the authors of the Abrams title Holy Cards explores Mary's many visionary appearances throughout history and their significance, and examines the iconography surrounding the most famous of these visions.Catholics honor the woman they venerate as the Mother of God through special novena prayers. The Marian prayer cards displayed here, along with other examples of vernacular art illustrating Mary's various appearances, form an exquisite but accessible treasury of the many facets of the Holy Mother. With its radiantly illustrated iconography; its eternal theme; and its rare collection of holy cards, Visions of Mary should inspire believers and all those interested in art and religious iconography. AUTHOR BIO: Barbara Calamari is a freelance writer who has worked in film and television. Sandra DiPasqua is a graphic designer and art director. The two have collaborated on four previous books for a Catholic audience: Novena: The Power of Prayer, Holy Places: Sacred Sites in Catholicism, Our Lady of Guadalupe in a Box, and the Abrams book Holy Cards. They both live in New York City.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Tall Tales was an innovative newspaper strip syndicated internationally by the New York Herald Tribune from 1957-1963. Whereas newspaper strips are square, single-panel or multiple-panel horizontal gag cartoons, Al Jaffee, known for the Fold-In in MAD Magazine, once again altered the format of his work to create a vertical strip-the first, and last, in newspaper history. Tall Tales contains the best 120 wordless strips out of over 2,200, scanned from the original files. The book features a new preface by Jaffee and an introduction by Stephen Colbert of The Colbert Report.Al Jaffee is the cartoonists cartoonist. Hes a pioneer in every field, from comic books to book illustration to magazine cartoons. The worst thing about Jaffee is that every time I do a drawing, I find out hes done it before . . . and better.-Sergio Aragonés, cartoonistThis collection proves that not only has Al Jaffee always been funny, hes always been disturbed. - Stephen Colbert, from his introduction.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. Illustrated. Award-winning photographer Mark Nixon has created a trove of quirky and nostalgic portraits of teddy bears and other stuffed animals that have been lovingly abused after years of play. MuchLoved collects 60 of these images along with their accompanying background tales. An exhibit in the photographers studio led to a small sensation on the Internet when a few of the pictures circulated unofficially on scores of blogs and on many legitimate news sites. Viewers have been intrigued by the funny, bittersweet images and their ironic juxtaposition of childhood innocence and aged, loving wear and tear. When you see these teddy bears and bunnies with missing noses and undone stuffing, you cant help but think back to childhood and its earliest companions who asked for nothing and gave a lot back.Praise for Much Loved:Much Loved is impossibly endearing in its entirety. -Brain Pickings.
