From majestic glaciers to vast frozen plains as far as the eye can see, ice is just as important to the world's ecosystems as water, air, and trees. And yet its presence and vital role on Earth is increasingly threatened by the effects of global w...
Elephant
This book offers an incomparable spectacle, that of an intimate face-to-face with the animal, here treated as a subject in its own right, on an equal footing with man, and it encourages us to take the time to contemplate it, to better question our relationship to the wild world and our place in it. And if the photographer has long since chosen black and white, it is to better play with the incomparable light of Africa, its singular purity that gives the feeling of being in direct contact with the material, without filter. Laurent Baheux's approach is not that of a naturalist or ethology-loving photographer, he does not seek to describe behavior or to unravel the mystery of a sensitive area of the animal that has remained unknown until now. What he finds with African elephants is the feeling of a rediscovered plenitude, of wonder at the world, of a rebirth, of a reconnection with the living. Far from the crowds and the urban world, it is in the heart of African national parks that he

Yves Saint Laurent
An intimate exploration of Yves Saint Laurent's creative world, captured by photographer - and son of the couturier's right-hand woman, Anne-Marie Munoz - Carlos Munoz-Yague. Yves Saint Laurent: Inside Out presents an extraordinarily intimate insight into a fascinating world of creativity in the latter, sumptuous phase of Saint Laurent's career, between 1989 and his final collection in 2002. The book offers a comprehensive and multi-faceted exploration of the life of an haute couture house: from informal, atmospheric portraits of Yves Saint Laurent at work in his studio, drawing and creating, to the behind-the-scenes work of the 'petites mains' in the ateliers, the skilled army of artisans whose activity is rarely documented. The house's world-famous models also feature, captured during pre-collection fittings in the house's grandiose salons and in electric backstage moments before the shows. Private archive materials - letters, documents, drawings, and ephemera - that situate the protagonists and give context to the unique position that the young Carlos enjoyed as a 'fly on the wall' in this rarefied universe are also included in the book, and published here for the first time. A moving and visually stunning tribute to the iconic Yves Saint Laurent house as you've never seen it before, Yves Saint Laurent: Inside Out will be a must-have for fashion and photography fans.

Yves Saint Laurent
Discover the inspiring story of Yves Saint Laurent, the ground-breaking designer who changed fashion forever. Growing up in the Algerian city of Oran, little Yves loved exploring his mother’s wardrobe and designing dresses for paper dolls. But life outside his family wasn’t always happy - at school, he was teased for having different hobbies and sometimes, he even pretended to be ill to avoid lessons. Still, Yves didn’t let the mean voices hold him back. He continued to carve his creative path and spent hours sewing tiny outfits from scraps of fabric, dreaming of a future in fashion. At eighteen, his hard work paid off when he was invited to join a top fashion school in Paris, and after even more hard work, Yves was invited to join the famous fashion house Dior, where he became their lead designer! Later, with the support of his lifelong partner Pierre, Yves started his own fashion house. His bold and stylish designs - like tuxedo suits and pea coats - revolutionised women’s
