Bøker av James Attlee

'It is always a worthwhile ambition to get through a project like this without being punched.'Writer and urban explorer Attlee reads the signs and messages appearing in British windows during the pandemic, and interviews the people who made them.

A concise account of the painting often described as the most important work of art produced in the twentieth century.

Iconic photos are interspersed with unknown, original archive material. This is not a series of contemporary photographs of nature, but rather a collection of exceptional images of elephants from around the world, taken in days gone by, often by anonymous photographers.

Look up into the night sky and gaze in wonder...The moon and the light it casts have been a muse for writers, artists, composers and visionaries throughout history. But today, in our increasingly urbanised world, the spread of artificial lighting seems set to rob the moon of its power.Now James Attlee invites us to turn our faces once more toward the night sky and contemplate the moon's many moods. He takes us with him on a journey in search of moonlight and its meanings, from the kitsch to the sublime - in the modern world, the ancient world, in art, books, music, and in science. And from his front door he travels to Normandy, Naples, Arizona, Wales, Las Vegas and Japan.Here, then, is a strangely illuminating traveller's tale about a search for the all-but-vanished light of the moon - and a passionate plea to turn off the lights and repossess the stolen night.

A travel writing classic, with a new preface by the author and an afterword by Geoff Dyer.

From a sojourn in a sensory-deprivation tank to a furtive visit to an unmarked pornography emporium, this work investigates each aspect of the Cowley Road's appealingly eclectic culture, where halal shops jostle with craft jewelers and nightclubs pulsate alongside quiet churchyards.
