In this landmark photography publication & accompanying exhibition, Clement Cheroux demonstrates how Magnum Photos owes its pre-eminence to the ability of its photographers to encompass & navigate the points between photography as art object & photography as documentary evidence. A Magnum photograph can be expressive & bear witness at the same time. Magnum Manifesto is organized into three main parts: Part 1 (1947-1968) views the Magnum archive through a humanist lens, focusing on post-war ideals of commonality & utopianism. Part 2 (1969-1989) shows a world fragmenting, with a focus on subcultures, minorities & outsiders. Part 3 (1990-present day) charts the ways in which Magnum photographers have captured
- & continue to capture
- a world in flux & under threat. Featuring both group & individual projects, the book

Includes:: contact sheets, notebooks, magazine spreads & other previously unseen material to accompany the photographs. Complete with extensive texts by Clement Cheroux & photographic historian Clara Bouveresse, Magnum Manifesto is an essential purchase for anyone seeking to understand the very best in photography.

Rick Riordan`s Norse hero faces his greatest challenge yet in the final instalment of the series. Loki the trickster god is free from his chains. Now he`s readying Naglfar, the Ship of the Dead, armed with a host of giants & zombies, to sail against the Norse gods & begin the final battle of Ragnarok. It`s up to Magnus Chase & his friends to stop Loki`s plans, but to do so they will have to sail across the oceans of Midgard, Jotunheim & Niflheim in a desperate race to reach Naglfar before it`s ready to sail on Midsummer`s Day. Along the way, they will face angry sea gods, hostile giants, & an evil fire-breathing dragon who happens to be a former acquaintance. But Magnus`s biggest challenge will be facing his own inner demons. To defeat Loki, Magnus will need to use words, not force. This will require finding a magical elixir so deadly that it will either make Magnus Chase powerful enough to out-talk the silver-tongued Loki, or destroy Magnus utterly. ...
