If only two words could be used to describe Rome, no pair could be better than "creativity" and "culture." Even the most casual visitor is swept into the city's dizzying array of ancient sites, stunning artwork, and new surprises around every corner.
The Eternal City is the capital of Italy, and perhaps its most striking travel destination. The historic city center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that charges every vacation with the energy of the Roman Empire founded on the Seven Hills.
An exploration of Europe cannot be complete until Rome's particular adventures have been experienced. The palaces and church cathedrals, Roman ruins, monuments, fountains and statues each offer a new and exciting journey. Visitors to Italy can expand their knowledge base with an artist's view of the ancient city of Rome.
The color photos in Ruins of Rome I & II were taken at Palazzo Senatorio, Saint Peter's Basilica and Vatican City, Via della Conciliazione, the Colosseum, Palatine Hill, the Roman Forum, the Pantheon, San Paolo fuori le mura, Piazza del Popolo, Villa Borghese, various obelisks, and other sites. Step into this whirling place and become absorbed by its vibrant heart.

The expanse offers a rich variety of natural diversity and is serviced by a number of picturesque towns. Of special interest are the Prachov Rocks, a plateau that eroded into breathtaking natural spires.

Rome's Via Appia, the Appian Way, takes travelers back to 312 BC.
Originally built as a military route, the Via Appia launched an expansion that spurred the saying, "all roads lead to Rome." The road wends pasts the churches, tombs, catacombs and other monuments that dot the landscape. The view changes with the seasons, exploding in spring with purple wisteria and verdant year-round with tall cypress trees.
Pass through Rome's ancient wall and wander along this ancient road with the full-color photos in Along the Via Appia: Rome's Ancient Appian Way (a Travel Photo Art book).

Prague offers truly beautiful discoveries only minutes away from the crowded tourist sites.
Most people who visit Prague limit their experience to the small area bounded by Old Town Square and Prague Castle. Only a block or two away from the main boulevards are quiet cafes and bustling, three-way intersections where residents live and work amid the iconic architecture.
A short tram ride reveals additional treasures like Vysehrad, a historic fort on the banks of the Vltava River. The site is home to the Basilica of St. Peter and St. Paul as well as Prague's oldest rotunda, which dates from the 11th century. From the elevated expanse of Letn Park, visitors can snap unique pictures of Prague Old Town and the Vltava River.
Leave the crowds behind and discover the real Prague with the full-color photos in Hidden Prague: From the Vltava River to Vysehrad Castle (a Travel Photo Art book).

Zen in the Stable combines insight garnered from the equestrian life with stunning photos. Written by an award-winning author trained as a show jumper by an Olympic-level coach, Zen in the Stable offers original equine enlightenment from the barnyard to the ring. Inspiring photos enhance each original saying in a full-color book that makes a perfect gift.
The power and grace of horses sets them apart from other animals. The fluid movements of a mare, a stallion, and even the humble pony under saddle carry us into new worlds, ones that can only be viewed from horseback. When the author was fifteen, she learned dressage and jumping. The experience developed a part of her soul and nourishes her to this day.
Thoroughbred breeds competing in horse sports, foals, wild horses, draft horses, horse racing, palominos, colts and saddle horses are stablemates for our lives. The everyday interactions between horse and rider are found with the Shetland pony, yearlings, feral horses, shire horses, miniature horses, appaloosas, Arabians, bangtails, and more.
Working with horses is spiritual. The rider must be calm and collected while respecting their partner. When that happens, horse and rider transcend. Zen in the Stable honors that relationship.
A gorgeous collection for every equestrian, horse enthusiast, animal lover, and anyone seeking a moment of peace, Zen in the Stable demonstrates that the human-horse connection can enrich our lives and make us happier, healthier, calmer, and more loving.
The softcover edition uses a single-page layout for an affordable price point. The hardcover edition displays each saying across a beautiful two-page spread with the full-color photo on the righthand page, making it the perfect gift.

Описание:
Winner, Body and Embodiment Award presented by the American Sociological Association Imagine yourself without a face—the task seems impossible. The face is a core feature of our physical identity. Our face is how others identify us and how we think of our ‘self’. Yet, human faces are also functionally essential as mechanisms for communication and as a means of eating, breathing, and seeing. For these reasons, facial disfigurement can endanger our fundamental notions of self and identity or even be life threatening, at worse. Precisely because it is so difficult to conceal our faces, the disfigured face compromises appearance, status, and, perhaps, our very way of being in the world. In Saving Face, sociologist Heather Laine Talley examines the cultural meaning and social significance of interventions aimed at repairing faces defined as disfigured. Using ethnography, participant-observation, content analysis, interviews, and autoethnography, Talley explores four sites in which a range of faces are “repaired:” face transplantation, facial feminization surgery, the reality show Extreme Makeover, and the international charitable organization Operation Smile,. Throughout, she considers how efforts focused on repair sometimes intensify the stigma associated with disfigurement. Drawing upon experiences volunteering at a camp for children with severe burns, Talley also considers alternative interventions and everyday practices that both challenge stigma and help those seen as disfigured negotiate outsider status. Talley delves into the promise and limits of facial surgery, continually examining how we might understand appearance as a facet of privilege and a dimension of inequality. Ultimately, she argues that facial work is not simply a conglomeration of reconstructive techniques aimed at the human face, but rather, that appearance interventions are increasingly treated as lifesaving work. Especially at a time when aesthetic technologies carrying greater risk are emerging and when discrimination based on appearance is rampant, this important book challenges us to think critically about how we see the human face.
