A celebration of the timeless beauty of soccer--its greatest and most stylish players, from past heroes to today's stars, along with its hallowed grounds. Football, or soccer as we know it in the US, has been around for more than two hundred years and in some ways remains largely unchanged. It is this timelessness that is celebrated in This Is Football. Lavishly illustrated with striking images of on-field action as well as candid dressing-room moments taken by some of the most respected photographers in sport, the book serves as both a primer and nostalgic love letter showcasing the beauty of the game. Readers will venture on a journey to South America where football became beautiful in the 1960s and to Spain where tiki-taka revolutionized the game in the 1980s. From Denis Bergkamp's sublime control and finish against Argentina in the 1998 World Cup to Sergio Aguero's last-minute strike of the 2010/2011 season--winning Manchester City their first premier league title, This Is Football captures many of the game's most extraordinary events and players. Organized by player position, each chapter highlights some of the biggest names to have graced the pitch, from Pelé to David Beckham and Mia Hamm to Marta as well as historic moments they helped create. Featuring extraordinary goals, inspired midfield play, heroic defending, and eye-catchingly colorful goalkeeping, this book illustrates why soccer is the most popular sport in the world and why it is truly loved by so many.

The first book on the precisely detailed, sumptuous architecture of one of the finest firms working in traditional styles in California. Evens has long been considered one of the country's leading contemporary architects who aspires to create the complete living environment, in the same vein as Gil Schafer, Bobby McAlpine, Ray Booth, and Stanley Dixon. His inspiration is drawn from classical traditions and informed by contemporary indoor-outdoor life--in this case the indoor-outdoor life of California. Evens explains the core design values that bring unique and compelling force to his work, crafting architecture that speaks to people. Evens's projects are stylistically diverse, from a Spanish Colonial Revival estate in Malibu overlooking the Pacific, to an American farmhouse-inspired residence in the golden hills of Southern California, to a gracious ranch house embedded within the old oak trees studding the coastal landscape of Montecito. Natural materials, such as wood, stone, and brick form the foundations, walls, and ceilings of these subtly luxurious spaces, while nature itself plays a considered role that is at once complementary and intricately conjoined with the work.

A seductive, stylish, compelling, and authoritative assembly of vanguard small-scale houses that tread very lightly in nature, leading the way for architects, homeowners, and dreamers to rethink ways we can live, reside, and flourish. Architects have sought more and more to integrate residences into their settings minimally disturbing nature, with houses that float on the water or up in the trees. This book reveals 51 designs that bring their residences into nature, even allowing the natural setting to enter the very walls, with priority given to sustainability and carbon footprint. Each of the book's homes is carefully chosen for its innovative and sedutive design, approachable scale, and stunning location, whether cocooned within the earth itself or soaring high amongst the treetops, surrounded by cooling waters, or resisting the desert heat. Considerations of energy consumption can dictate a green roof in some cases, while blending ever more fully into the environment gives the satisfaction of not existing in contradiction with the world, a kind of escape to the original garden, or more precisely, a return to fundamental, incontrovertible values. The book's collection spans the globe--from a remote bay on Bruny Island (Tasmania) to an isolated beach in Nicaragua or cabin perched above a fjord in Norway. Today's architectural vanguard is represented, as well as established firms working at the forefront of twenty-first-century design, such as Tom Kundig of the Seattle practice Olson Kundig and Snøhetta from Oslo. With a wealth of photographs showcasing each house inside and out, plus plans, Houses Natural/Natural Houses offers inspiration--and tranquility.

A look at the most significant architectural and territorial projects by the world-renowned Chilean architect, a leader in the "geopoetic" methodology in architecture. This is the first major book on Zegers, who practices an intensely artistic and ecological form of architecture based on landscapes in which she builds. Working frequently in timber, Zegers reaches unique, sustainable, and recyclable solutions that combine and rescue the traditional work of Chilean carpenters with modern techniques. In an almost metaphysical journey, in which organic forms, curves, diagonals, and verticals are combined, Zegers affirms her rising presence as a force in ecologically minded architecture. The book includes private residences, hotels, and sacred spaces that evoke the geographical magnitude of the Andean landscape. Each project contains poems and sketches made by the architect. In the Soplo (Breath) House, living occurs without imposed spatial hierarchies, in a continuous flow, between interior and exterior. The Tierra Patagonia Hotel, which Zegers associates with the poetic word viento (wind), emerges beside craggy mountains and the glistening Lake Sarmiento at the entrance of the Torres del Paine National Park, with stunning views of the Patagonia wilderness. Zegers proposes a different approach toward architecture in an expressive search intimately related to Chile, its territory, landscape, and traditions. The large format book is specially printed with a fifth color throughout.

The most important, most visited, and most renowned of all of Britain's stately homes, Blenheim has been home to the Churchill family for more than 300 years. Regarded as perhaps the greatest of the stately homes and the finest example of baroque architecture in Great Britain, Blenheim is a treasure of English heritage. In this stunning volume, Lady Henrietta Spencer-Churchill, the twelfth generation of the family, takes us on a privileged tour of the palace. Designed by John Vanbrugh and Nicholas Hawksmoor (a protégé of Christopher Wren) in the early 1700s; with stonework, furniture, and tapestries crafted by the best talents of the age; and art and statuary by such notable artists as John Singer Sargent and Joshua Reynolds, Blenheim is filled with artistic commissions that provide a window into the history of England. In addition to the gilded staterooms and acres of landscaped gardens, Spencer-Churchill shows us the family's private apartments, with their secret corridors and history of illustrious guests, as well as the "downstairs" staff area with its iconic bell system. With beautiful photography of the magnificent interiors and priceless collections, and Spencer-Churchill's fascinating text, this volume illuminates Blenheim as it's never been seen before.

Specializing in the most-prized gemstones, from Colombian emeralds to sapphires found in the remote hills of Kashmir, David Morris celebrates color, flawless craftsmanship, and unique creativity in jewelry design. This is the jewelry house's first major book. David Morris established his eponymous fine jewelry house in 1962 at the height of the Swinging Sixties and quickly gained a global reputation for his opulent use of the rarest, most extraordinary gemstones and for innovative design sought by jewelry connoisseurs the world over. The house's creations--now overseen by his son Jeremy Morris--are all designed and handcrafted to exacting standards in the New Bond Street atelier. This sumptuous slipcased tome, featuring brand-new photography and newly commissioned gouaches created especially for the book, delves into the enchanting history of David Morris, aka the London Jeweler, whose legacy shines as brilliantly as the gemstones the house atelier transforms into objects of art. Over the years the house has gained a reputation for adorning Hollywood, British, and European royals from Elizabeth Taylor to Diana, Princess of Wales. Today, a David Morris jewel still radiates star quality, connecting the brand's storied past to its future. This first major monograph debuts some of the house's latest, most innovative designs as well as a large selection of its most famous pieces, and beautifully showcases the sophistication and creativity of one of the most masterful jewelers working today.

A giant of modern fashion photography, Bourdin lent his surrealist eye to the shoes and fashions of Charles Jourdan. Creating compositions full of movement, color, and sensuality, this pioneering collaboration between designer and photographer still exerts a profound influence on modern fashion photography. The late 1960s saw some of the most dynamic periods in French fashion. And the union between Bourdin and Jourdan captured the spirit of the moment unlike any other creative partnership of the era. Jourdan, a polymath who occupied the office of both couturier and shoe designer, tapped Bourdin, a true surrealist among the fashion photographers of the age, and engaged in a creative dialogue through to Jourdan's passing in 1976. Celebrated here are over 150 images, many never before published, full of the modernity and fetishism that made Jourdan's designs so sought after, and Bourdin's mise-en-scènes so provocative. To draw attention to the sweep of a woman's feet and the gentle swell of her calves, the shod feet and lower leg of a mannequin are disembodied and transported to a variety of contexts, the central figures in compositions that are at once erotic, humorous, and often unsettling. Provocative, fabulist, dramatic, and full of intense color and saturation theirs was as complete a collaboration as has ever been achieved in the history of postwar fashion. This book presents that work in its entirety for the very first time and provides insight into a true meeting of the minds between designer and photographer.

Celebrated for her "delightfully elegant, understated interiors" (House Beautiful), and her fusing of artisanal elements into a contemporary approach to spaces, Nicole Hollis's second book presents an inspirational look at the role of art and craft in interior design. Focusing on the profound effect that art, craft, and color can play in any interior, this book presents Hollis's masterful new residential projects, in which the curation of art, objects, and custom furnishings are key to the character of the spaces. Spanning homes in New York, California, and Hawaii, each interior reveals a new lesson in the creative and playful juxtaposition of artistic elements. In an elegant townhouse in San Francisco, a striking collection of contemporary paintings contrasts color and dynamism against luxuriously minimal furnishings. A loft in Tribeca pairs the organic forms of naturalistic chandeliers over sleek, modern furniture. And in a dreamlike beach house in Hawaii, custom woodwork brings into the space elements of the sublime nature outside. With contributions from acclaimed artists and artisans whose work has complemented and elevated the spaces--including French artist Ingrid Donat, Italian sculptor Mauro Mori, and art/design practice Studio Job--the book is at once an exhibition of enviably artful interiors and an inspiration for those looking to reinvigorate their homes with art, craft, and design.

A unique presentation of Irish country house interiors, combining well-preserved historic estates with adventurous contemporary restorations, celebrating some of the most characterful houses in Ireland. Forgoing the criteria of stateliness and opulence, this book is an exploration of the most captivating and unusual interiors in Ireland. Whether in the transformation of a derelict estate, the preservation of an historic hunting lodge, or the re-creation of a Gothic fantasy, each of the homes in this extraordinary book reflects a renewed vitality in the contemporary approach to Irish country houses. Rich in detail and varied in scope, the houses reveal a refreshing dynamism in their decoration by equally diverse owners--from the ornate refurbishment of a castle by a Spanish financier to the bold palette of a contemporary artist's renovation to an Elizabethan Revival house. The sparse interiors of a mansion in Westmeath reflect its painstaking restoration by descendants of the original owners, and at Coollattin--Ireland's largest country house, part restored, part still in disrepair--the building's baroque splendor is amplified by its raw, unfinished state. Accompanying photography of the houses made specially for the book, the author guides readers through fifteen exceptional spaces, elucidating the remarkable aspects of each--and in doing so celebrates the unexpected eclecticism and reinvigorated spirit of Ireland's historic interiors.

A photographic celebration of the landscapes that have influenced some of America's most important nature writers--from John Muir to Terry Tempest Williams to Barbara Kingsolver. Since 2019, Donald S. Clark has documented the places that have been instrumental in influencing the lives and words of both historic and contemporary nature and environmental writers throughout the United States. While we have always felt their passionate connection to their own environments, no book has ever made this visual connection between writers and their land before--the relationship between prose and place. Featuring more than 40 of America's most important writers, the content is as far-reaching as America itself: from sea to shining sea, forest to prairie, and mountain to coastline. Accompanying each gallery of stunning photography is a selected excerpt by the writer about their land. With the increasingly noticeable effects of climate change, the significance of these writers--and their personal connections to the environment--is even more timely. This unique and compelling story of the land and how it has inspired some of our greatest poets and authors will make a wonderful gift for budding environmentalists, students of nature writing, or anyone interested in conservation.

With his unrivaled photography taken during multiple expeditions, Copeland transports us to the Arctic to share the heart of the polar cap as never before seen. The Arctic is one of the last true wildernesses on the planet, and its demise should ring the alarm for lower latitudes. Copeland's multifaceted background--not only a polar explorer, award-winning photographer, and established author and journalist but also a dedicated environmental advocate--offers us a unique vantage point from which to appreciate this lonely spot. Although the vision presented in these pages may be poetic, the book's aims are pragmatic--to inspire and help foster a transformation toward a sustainable future. The Arctic takes us along on Copeland's intrepid journeys--tinkering with the gear, sharing the tug of the heavy sled, and teasing the spirit as it pulls toward the wide-open space of an otherworldly earth. It is a visually arresting ode to the human pursuit of exploration.

An immersive journey to witness a natural wonder--the underwater caves and cenotes of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula, a destination very few divers have ever reached. Shining a light on the Underworld (or Xibalba, as the Mayans called the center of their culture and mythology), these stunning images transport us into a place that few cave divers can reach--a world accessed from cenotes, water-filled gateways to labyrinths of tunnels that create the longest underwater cave systems on the planet. Over several years and multiple diving expeditions, Martin Broen has captured more than 250 different cenotes and caves, diving through mazes of pitch-dark tunnels. Paired with images of startling otherworldly beauty, his engaging text guides readers through the depths of the mysterious Yucatán cenotes--from their formation and spectacular features to their time capsules of ancient fossils, from how cenotes were a source of life for ancient peoples to their critical environmental role today. With contributions based on their own experiences in cenotes by Alex Mustard and Paul Nicklen, this volume beckons divers, cavers, and armchair explorers to explore a uniquely dangerous yet beautiful and essential underwater world.

Renowned naturalist and artist James Prosek applies his extensive field research and artistry to share the natural abundance of America's sweeping prairies. In 2021, Prosek traveled to the Texas Hill Country to understand the region's threatened prairie habitats, thus embarking on a project to explore the complex realities of contemporary American grasslands.Prosek's art is influenced by his science-based, firsthand fieldwork, with his handwritten notes often lining the margins. The book features his richly detailed watercolors and silhouettes of animals, plants, and habitats that reinforce the importance of the prairies as their own complete ecosystems, as well as the boundaries that define them in the present day--from fencerows to distinguishing native prairies from ones with invasive grasses. The same scientific curiosity, detailed artistry, and passionate attention Prosek brought to raising the awareness of species of trout are now acutely focused on the rich, intricate diversity of our native grasses.
