Don Mc Cullin`s autobiography, like his renowned war photography transports the reader into a world of wars, revolutions & their inevitable consequences. His incredible first hand experiences enable him to convey acutely sharp, exquisitely drawn accounts of the darkest side of human nature. Coursing through the world`s conflict areas this personal journey offers a brilliant analysis of the effect wars have on people`s lives, including that of the writer`s own. Reviewed by Christoph Rodler, Digital Sales Adviser, Stanfords Covent Garden ...

From the construction of the Berlin Wall through every conflict up to the Falklands War, photographer Don Mc Cullin has left a trail of iconic images. At the Sunday Times Magazine in the 1960s, Mc Cullin`s photography made him a new kind of hero. The flow of stories every Sunday took a generation of readers beyond the insularity of post-war Britain & into the recesses of domestic deprivation: when in 1968, a year of political turmoil, the Beatles wanted new pictures, they insisted on using Mc Cullin; when Francis Bacon, whose own career had emerged with depiction of the ravages of the flesh, wanted a portrait, he turned to Mc Cullin. Mc Cullin now spends his days quietly in a Somerset village, where he photographs the landscape & arranges still-lifes
- a far cry from the world`s conflict zones & the war-scarred north London of Holloway Road where his career began. In October 2015, it will be twenty-five years since the first publication of his autobiography, Unreasonable Behaviour
- a harrowing memoir combining his photojournalism with his lifework. The time is right to complete Mc Cullin`s story.

`I was born in 1939. The other big event of that year was the outbreak of the Second World War, but for the moment, that did not affect me.` In the first instalment of Clive James`s memoirs, we meet the young Clive, dressed in short trousers, & wrestling with the demands of school, various relatives & the occasional snake, in the suburbs of post-war Sydney. His adventures are hilarious, his recounting of them even more so, in this -- the book that started it all.. .` You can`t put it down once started. Its addictive powers stun all normal, decent resistance within seconds. Not to be missed` Sunday Times ` All that really needs to be said to recommend Unreliable Memoirs is that James writes exactly as he talks, which is all his millions of fans could wish` Evening Standard ...

Unreliable Sources is renowned reporter John Simpson’s account of how the twentieth was reported in Great Britain & how what the nation thinks & feels, as well as how it identifies itself, has been shaped by the country’s “free press”. Simpson shows that, whilst Fleet Street likes to affirm its independence, it is, in fact, made quite partisan by the very power it exercises. The press have enjoyed authority over events in times of peace & war, through economic & political fluctuations & celebrity scandal, & they have at times have used their power irresponsibly: from the creation of the Daily Mail & the first stoking of anti-German sentiment in the years leading up to the First World War, to the Sun`s propping up of the Thatcher government, & beyond. In this self-analysis from one of the pillars of modern journalism some searching questions are asked, including whether the press can ever be truly free & whether we would desire it to be so. ...

Unseen Extremes marks a new milestone in Earth observation & Alpine exploration, presenting thirteen of the world`s great mountains in a manner never seen before. The German Centre for Aviation & Space Travel created very precise digital pictures of the mountains with the aid of satellite photographs taken from a height of several hundred kilometres. Scientists used these to produce models of the terrain, which were finally turned into photorealistic, `virtual` views from perspectives & heights that had been hitherto impossible. They capture all the individual features of these giant mountains as an almost tangible reality
- the third dimension as a brand new experience. The location of the virtual camera at various places in the topographical map gives a precise picture of the three-dimensional form of each mountain, while infographics & descriptions of the geology, glaciology, geography & climatology detail its individual characteristics. These mountain portraits are completed by personal accounts written by some of the finest climbers in the world & accompanied by a selection of authentic photographs. The accounts from different eras join together with the latest satellite technology, the history of climbing, & the geographical background knowledge to create a unique & comprehensive picture of the mountains & their trail-blazing climbers.
