This is the ultimate flight identification guide to Western Palearctic raptors. Covering over sixty species of raptors (over twenty more than the first edition) throughout Europe, North Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, this deeply researched text reaches even further into the history of these amazing creatures.

Описание: Fantagraphics is proud to publish this first-ever hardcover edition of TeotFW in conjunction with the 2017 television drama on UK's Channel 4 (with distribution via U.S. streaming to follow soon thereafter). Originally released to critical and public acclaim in 2013, Charles Forsman's graphic novel debut follows James and Alyssa, two teenagers living a seemingly typical teen experience as they face the fear of coming adulthood. Forsman tells their story through each character's perspective, jumping between points of view with each chapter. But quickly, this somewhat familiar teenage experience takes a more nihilistic turn as James's character exhibits a rapidly forming sociopathy that threatens both of their futures. He harbors violent fantasies and begins to act on them, while Alyssa remains as willfully ignorant for as long as she can, blinded by young love.

Описание: From Rosalind Creasy a name synonymous with California`s garden-to-table movement comes an accessible guide to cultivating and preparing herbs.

Written by a man about men, this book follows intelligent and educated men who struggle with their need for love and for close togetherness with boys and younger men. They drink and smoke and swear and ventilate politically improper views and display offensive attitudes. The writer serves provocative conditions and leaves the reader free to have his views.
In the shadow of the greatest filicide on earth, a brutal rape with full consent, the casual seduction of a blind-drunk youth in need for love, and the consented exploitation of the minors, give colour to a part of this book's narrative.
The reader is confronted with the ifs and buts and pros and cons of many sets of love, even felonious, in settings by the blue Aegean Sea, in the splendour of a Roman palace and in a sterile suburb by the icy Arctic Circle.
Young Simon scrammed the ice-cold north and found that hungry lads engulfed him with a love that only sought itself to please. When Jeffrey Smart, the artist from Australia, saw his sad and light-blue eyes in a temple late at night, he wanted him to be his boy for all his life. The boy then fell in love with very young Mich l; was that a virtuous summer fling or trace of a malicious decadence concealed behind the boy's innocuous face?
The boy claimed parents with a subtle form of negligence prepare their sons to be the loot of older and lascivious men, who once were children of a mother and a father preventing their son to develop and become a man.
Minor and major characters include the famous and successful Australian artist Jeffrey Smart, an eleven-year-old prostitute, a character-diffuse youngster, the president in a global petrol company, and an old retired naval surgeon from the Monarchy Australia.

Описание: A stunning visual tour of Vietnam by a returning war veteran and accidental artist searching for understanding and healing from the scars of war.
Vietnam is an ancient and beautiful land, with a deep history of occupational conflict that remains an enigma in Americans' collective memory. It is still easy to forget that Vietnam is a country and not a war, even as America's role in Vietnam inflamed and divided the American citizenry in ways that are still evident today. It is as if Vietnam's civil war resurrected our own. And if you are a Vietnam War veteran or a family member of a vet, it's worse, because, even after a half-century, many of the wounds won't heal. What do you do when you have given up on forgetting? Chuck Forsman is one of a sizable number of aging Vietnam vets who have found deep satisfaction in revisiting Vietnam, supporting charities, orphanages, and clinics, doing volunteer work and more--anything to redeem what the U.S. military did there. He is also a renowned painter and photographer who depicts places and environments in ways that become unforgettable visual experiences for the contemporary viewer. Lost in Vietnam chronicles a journey, not a country. They were taken on visits averaging two months each and two-year intervals over a decade. Forsman traveled largely by motorbike throughout the country--south, central, and north--sharing his experiences through amazing photographs of Vietnam's lands and people. His visual journey of one such veteran's twofold quest: the one for redemption and understanding, and the other to make art. The renowned Le Ly Hayslip introduces the book and sets the table for Forsman's incredible sojourn.
