Robert Maxwell is one of the most exciting new photographers to have emerged on the savagely competitive scene of fashion and editorial photography. In Photographs, Maxwell shares his edgy nudes, portraits, and still lifes that are at once modern and, strangely, part of the past. Much has been written about the lack of innovation in contemporary photography, and this book, Maxwell's first, underscores why he is widely considered to be the one of the most interesting photographers of his generation. Combining a rough-edged eroticism with a genuine interest in form and beauty, Maxwell's nudes -- perhaps the most difficult genre to master -- are in a class by themselves. His elegant portrait studies of his family, friends, and passersby are fresh and original and bring to mind the groundbreaking work of Irving Penn and Horst P. Horst. But Maxwell is distinguished from his modernist forebears, aesthetically and by his unique approach to the medium: he utilizes the nineteenth-century glass wet-plate technology known as the ambrotype -- called the "black art" of photography for its rich, dark, and reflective surfaces. These gorgeous glass objects come alive, as do the artist's platinum and silver prints, in this striking book -- certain to become a milestone in the art of bookmaking.

The world is in chaos. The United States is the last standing government and it is hanging on by a thread. Billions of people have turned into Zombies or have vanished. An elite military team of special forces is tasked to carry out a final mission to try and save humanity. The team consists of several Special Forces soldiers and an 18-year-old boy that the military believes may be the key to understanding the Zombie mystery. The Special Forces team races against the clock from one disaster to another. David Thompson, the commander of the Special Forces team is given a mission to prevent a nuclear disaster at a secret under water base. Due to the chaos in the United States, the base and surrounding area is now abandon. David and his team have to fight their way to the base and then figure out how to get almost 1000 feet under water to where the base is located. This is the first of three books in the Forces of Destiny - Special Forces and the Zombie Apocalypse series.

Chris Dyson Architects specialise in finding new solutions for sensitive buildings. They have become leaders in conservation and adaptation, and are renowned for their infallible attention to detail, flair for innovative and modern design, and application of design intelligence to every project. Dyson's own award-winning home and studio in Spitalfields, London, is carved from one of the coveted earlyeighteenth century houses which typify the area and is a triumph in sensitive restoration and bold modernisation. The firm is perhaps best known for designing and restoring bespoke London homes. Describing himself as a "Classical Modernist", Chris Dyson approaches each building with the aim of rationalising the space, making it clean-lined and easy to navigate; the home's function and soul lead the design. The team looks to enhance what is already there, employing specialist craftsmen and paying close attention to the detailing of the house before adding sleek contemporary elements. In Chris Dyson Architects: Practise & Projects, clients, colleagues and contemporaries each reflect upon the firm's expansive range of expertise and careful design process, with every project unique both in terms of aesthetic and spatial experience. Among those discussing the practice's work are artists Mona Hatoum and Jock McFadyen, writers Jeanette Winterson, Sue Hubbard, Rodney Archer, James Pallister, and architectural critic Robert Maxwell.

Custom and Innovation: John Miller + Partners is the first publication devoted to the work of John Miller + Partners, and explores Miller's work from his student days at the Architectural Association, to his present practice as a multi-award winning firm. The book provides an insight into the contemporary fascination with museum buildings as well as the revived interest on post-war modernism both in Europe and the USA. John Miller + Partners is responsible for some of the most highly regarded museum and university projects of the past 25 years, such as the Queen's Building and the extension to Tate Britain, as well as schemes for the Fitzwilliam Museum and the National Portrait Gallery. Custom and Innovation: John Miller + Partners takes a close look at the architects' body of work, and examines its working practices, such as John Miller's indebtedness to Modernism and its proponents, such as Le Corbusier. Further, the book sets out the practice's departure from its precedents by showing its work to be wholly contemporary and of its moment. Fascinating texts by respected architects and writers elucidate the firm's contribution to modern architecture. Kenneth Frampton, well known for his writing on twentieth century architecture, looks at the work of John Miller in the context of the museum building, and other typologies he works with. Robert Maxwell, Emeritus Professor of Architecture at Princeton, writes extensively on architecture, combining consultancy and architectural criticism, and here looks at the historical context of John Miller + Partners' work. Finally, Deyan Sudjic, Director of the Design Museum, London, focuses on the early work produced by John Miller through his student days to his partnership with Alan Colquhoun.
