ROVER Wagmore Edition Andrew Grant

In 2009, Andrew Grant began photographing dogs, starting with two French bulldogs at an unrelated commercial “shoot”. Then he discovered the sad fact that millions of lost or abandoned dogs enter animal shelters every year. And only a few leave, through rescue and adoption.

The rest are euthanized or live out a lonely, caged life.

Andrew Grant began to photograph dogs that should be rescued, and dogs that have been rescued. Over 6 years he raised nearly $2 million for shelter dogs through his photographic project. He did this with the sale of four limited-edition books of dog portraits, each called Rover. Each was bigger than the previous, and helped by hundreds of sponsoring dog owners.

Those editions are all sold out, and fetch up to $400 on the rare book market — when available. Most, though, are as treasured as their canine subjects.

Now, Firefl y Books is publishing a popularly-priced trade edition of FiREFly BooKS 368 pages Rover: Wagmore Edition. It contains 360 of Andrew Grant’s most 285 × 285 mm 978-1-77085-989-0 360 photos, full colour appealing photographs of dogs. Some are the best friends of lucky plastic-laminated owners, and some, sadly, are homeless. hardcover with jacket throughout $40.00 US · £30.00 UK Rights: World All are splendidly realized in sharp, large and very lifelike colour $49.95 AU portraits.

They feature purebreds of almost every kind, and mixed breeds, too. oCToBER Each dog’s name is on its page. Each is looking intently at the reader.

Firefl y Books pledges a portion of the revenue from sales ofRover: Wagmore Edition to dog rescue.

Andrew Grant is still on the road, photographing dogs. He continues to raise money for dog shelters, and his images of celebrities, products and architecture have been featured in many publications. Expect publicity for Rover in cities across America this Fall.

tHE HORSE Its Nature, Revealed Text by Emmanuelle Brengard Photographs by Sabine Stuewer

An intimate view into horses’ true nature.

This gorgeous book presents the noble and powerful horse in spellbinding photographs, revealing text, and extended captions. Sabine Stuewer has been observing horses for years — when they are alone and in groups. Her images are an indulgent visual treat, revealing the pure beauty of horses and their connection to their environment and their companions.

The book’s sections are: • In the Harem — the harem family of about 10 (a stallion and his mares and foals), social order • the Stallion — charisma, postures, fi ghts between males, reproduction • Mares and Foals — birth, educating the foals, foal games FiREFly BooKS 208 pages • the Nuances of Friendship — hierarchy, games among adults 298 × 228 mm 978-1-77085-959-3 • the Partnerships — mares and foals, resting and sleep, adults plastic-laminated 200 photographs in full protecting the herd and grooming hardcover with jacket colour • Gallop to Freedom — photo gallery $29.95 US · £19.95 UK • Finely Honed Senses — smell, sight, taste, hearing, communication, $39.95 AU Rights: World English the gaits Ctn qty: • Fits of Madness — jumps and leaps to release stress and energy, and to stretch. oCToBER Those who ride horses will tell you that they are complex animals possessing a wide range of behaviors.

Equestrians, breeders, casual riders, artists and photographers, and all who love horses for their character and beauty will derive great pleasure from this book. The Horse is an authoritative, photographic jewel and a remarkable value.

Emmanuelle Brengard has been riding horses for 30 years. She is a writer and journalist and has directed Cheval Star, Galopin and Cheval Star BD magazines for a decade. This is her third book.

Answers all the “whys” and “hows” when it comes to baby-led weaning.

A photographic essay recounting the creation and installation of the Statue of Liberty.

The Statue of Liberty is known around the world as a symbol of freedom and democracy. Poet Emma Lazarus’ words inscribed on its pedestal — “Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free” — beckon the poor and oppressed everywhere.

Fittingly perhaps, the installation of the Statue of Liberty was no small feat. When its size and scale became a reality, the creators in France and the United States were faced with a number of colossal challenges. The solution would be an unusual and groundbreaking union of art and technology.

Lady Liberty recounts the conception, construction, assembly and installation of the statue in rarely seen photographs and informative text. It shows how French sculptor Auguste Bartholdi used photographs and photomontages — notably, a giant panorama of the city of New York — to study the site chosen for his statue and to monitor its construction, which was taking place in Paris.

EGON SCHIElE His Life and Death Xavier Coste

The story of the artistic genius who provoked early 20th-century tolerance.

Egon Schiele is an evocative depiction based on the life of the Austro-Hungarian artist whose short career spanned the turn of the 20th century. Schiele (1890–1918) was a painter known for full-frontal portraits of naked women (and on many occasions, himself). They were stark and disturbing. He painted his subjects in gaunt, twisting and unnatural poses. Their voyeuristic tone and blatant eroticism outraged society, landing him in prison for 24 days. Nevertheless, his works would have a strong infl uence on the development of expressionist art.

The book focuses on the artist’s creative years, the development of his talent, his relationships with other artists, including Gustav Klimt, the women in his life, and his obsession with making provocative art. Quickly following Schiele’s early successes were his failures. In the end, it was the Spanish fl u that killed him at the tragically young age of 28.

ROBERt CAPA A Graphic Biography Written and illustrated by Florent Silloray

“If your pictures aren’t good enough, you aren’t close enough.” —Robert Capa

Robert Capa: A Graphic Biography is a brilliant portrayal of the career of the great war photographer who, at the time of his death in 1954, had only one wish: to be an unemployed war photographer. “It is not always easy” he said, “to stand aside and be unable to do anything except record the suffering.”

Born in 1913 to a Jewish family in Budapest, Endre Friedmann left home at 18 for Germany where he studied journalism and political science and worked in a photo agency darkroom. In 1933, Friedmann went to Paris where he shared a darkroom with Henri Cartier-Bresson and lived with Gerda Taro, also a photographer. Together they contrived the name and image “Robert Capa, famous American photographer”.

Capa made several trips to document the Spanish Civil War, where he took the seminal image, “Death of a Loyalist Soldier” for which he was heralded as “the greatest war photographer in the world”.

By the start of World War II, Capa was in New York freelancing for LIFE, Time, and other publications.

It shows his intimate life and his relationships with the day’s larger-than-life personalities: Ingrid Bergman, John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, Pablo Picasso, and many others.

Sepia watercolours wash the book in the fog of war and recall Capa’s generation on the cusp of colour fi lm. They show his professional work, his personal battles, his victories and struggles, and his legacy: the founding of the Magnum, a cooperative photo agency which gives photographers control of their work.

In 1954, having sworn off war photography but in need of money, he left to cover his fi fth war, in Indochina. Driven by his conviction that “if your pictures aren’t good enough, you’re not close enough,” he was with a French patrol when he stepped on a landmine and was killed, camera in hand.

For four French expatriates who escaped the clutches of the Nazi regime to fi nd asylum in Canada, adventure was to be the antidote to depression brought on by the cruelty of war.

The book organizes the freshwater aquarium species in major groups, among them: Cichlids (such as angelfi sh and discus); Catfi sh; Cyprinids (such as barbs, danios, koi and goldfi sh); Characoids (such as tetras, neons and piranhas); Loaches and suckers; Gouramis (such as bettas, paradise fi sh and snakeheads); Rainbow fi sh and blue-eyes; and Livebearers (such as mollies and platies).

This comprehensive and useful reference is from a highly respected fi sh keeper with more than 50 years’ experience. His advice and guidance will be welcomed by amateur fi sh keepers of any age and expertise.

Greg Jennings has been actively involved in fi sh keeping for more than 50 years. He has visited many locations around the world where many of the hobbyist fi sh species originated. Through his travel and relationships with fellow enthusiasts in the international community, he keeps up with the very latest developments and techniques.

EXPlORING tHE WORld OF AllIGAtORS ANd CROCOdIlES

Silently suspended in water, with only their eyes, nostrils and ears breaking the surface, these members of the crocodilian family play a terrifying sit-and-wait game with their prey, striking with lightning speed, chilling accuracy and a deadly bite stronger than any other living creature. Their victims stand little chance once held in their strong jaws. Land-dwelling prey are equally at risk—crocodilians can walk, gallop and leap at high speed, making them among nature’s fi ercest predators.

The crocodile and alligator families descend from the reptiles that roamed Earth alongside the dinosaurs some 250 million years ago. Today, most of the land-dwelling crocodilians live in tropical lowlands, while the broad-snouted American and Chinese alligators have adapted to cooler temperatures.

In Exploring the World of Alligators and Crocodiles, young readers 978-1-77085-943-2 paperback will learn about the crocodilians’ life history, physical characteristics, $6.95 US · £4.95 UK · $7.95 AU courtship displays, communication strategies and family life.

The ancestors of the elephant once roamed across much of the planet, but today, only two species survive: the African elephant and the Asian elephant. In this colourful introduction, young readers learn about the physical attributes and life history of the largest land mammal on Earth. With a massive body and huge ears that serve as built-in air- conditioning, a six-foot-long trunk with “fi ngers” that help it forage for food and water, tough, protective skin and outsized tusks used as tools and weapons, the elephant is a force to be reckoned with.

Just as fascinating is the elephant’s complex social structure. While adult males make their own way, the herd’s oldest female nurtures and protects her extended family with the assistance of the other females. Guiding family members on lengthy migrations to fi nd food and water, she teaches them life skills, organizes search parties for lost members and defends against hostile approaches.

Exploring the World of Hummingbirds is a fully illustrated introduction to the hummingbird’s high-performance lifestyle.

Built for effi ciency and fueled with high-energy nectar, this bird runs at a high temperature during the daytime, its heart beating 650 beats a minute, and its dense feathers keep it warm at night as it rests. Most impressive, however, are its skills as an aerial acrobat. Like a helicopter, it can move forward, backward and sideways.

The story spans six years in the lives of Walid, his wife Dalia, and their two children, Amina and Youssef. Forced to fl ee from Syria, they become asylum-seekers in Lebanon, and fi nally resettled refugees in the West. It is a story that has been replayed thousands of times by other families.

When the family home in Aleppo is destroyed by a government-led bomb strike, Walid has no choice but to take his wife and children and fl ee their war-torn and much loved homeland. They struggle to FiREFly BooKS Ages 12 and up survive in the wretched refugee camps of Lebanon, and when Youssef 96 pages 978-1-77085-982-1 becomes fatally ill as a result of the poor hygienic conditions, his father plastic-laminated 255 × 203 mm is forced to take great personal risk to save his family. hardcover $19.95 US full colour throughout £14.95 UK · $24.95 AU Walid’s daughter, the young Amina, a whip-smart grade-A student, tells Ctn qty: Rights: World the story. As she witnesses fi rsthand the harsh realities that her family must endure if they are to survive — swindling smugglers, treacherous oCToBER ocean crossings, and jihadist militias — she is forced to grow up very quickly in order to help her parents and brother.

Kullab’s narrative masterfully maps both the collapse and destruction of Syria, and the real-life tragedies faced by its citizens still today. The family’s escape from their homeland makes for a harrowing tale, but with their safe arrival in the West it serves as a hopeful endnote to this ongoing worldwide crisis.

Beautiful illustrations by Jackie Roche — whose work on the viral web- comic, Syria’s Climate Confl ict, was seen prominently in Symboliamag. com, Upworthy.com and Motherjones.com, among others — bring Kullab’s words to life in stunning imagery that captures both the horror of war and the dignity of human will.

Samya Kullab is a journalist based in the Middle East covering security, politics and refugees. She has worked in Lebanon, Turkey, the West Bank and Gaza, and Iraq for a variety of international media outlets. She was a reporter with Lebanon’s The Daily Star for three years.

Jackie Roche is a freelance cartoonist and illustrator whose work has been published outlets including Fusion, Harvard Library Offi ce for Scholarly Communication, The Nib, and anthologies including Sweaty Palms and Colonial Comics: New England, 1750 – 1775 (vol. II). She lives in Chicago, IL.

“The greatest pleasure of naturalists (understated by certain utilitarians) is to discover new species, to point to new islands on the map of nature, and to populate continents that seem to be deserts” — Richard Spruce, 1851

This splendid book traces the journeys of more than 80 pioneering botanists who explored the unknown world and collected thousands of unusual plants. Many were celebrated at home in Europe and England. Others were working in obscurity to fulfi ll their own desires and obsessions.

But every one of these explorers made important fi nds, collecting and preserving unique and valuable plants and often establishing them in cultivation back in their home lands.
