Over a 7-year period, Tony and Eva Worobiec, two of the greatest photographers of all time, traveled the dusty paths of rural America, particularly in the Dakotas, Montana, and Wyoming. The fruits of their journey are pictures so poignant and evocative of the American West that they are the photographic equivalent of a Steinbeck novel. Each amazing photo vividly reveals the struggle for survival, of a disappearing way of life, in the forgotten countryside and backroads of the U.S. In the often harsh and unforgiving landscape, the Worobiecs shot affecting and beautiful pictures of abandoned farms, schools, gas stations, grain elevators and tractors, diners, and trucks. Tony's pictures are large format, shot in black and white, and then hand tinted. The results resemble postcards from the 1950s. Eva shoots directly in color for a more starkly modern aspect. Both achieve magnificent, and ultimately emotionally touching, results. Along with the photographs are the words of the remaining residents, who speak sadly of better times, the friends and neighbors for whom things didn't work out, and of their own, once-flourishing piece of abandoned America. This remarkable achievement is both an exquisite photography book and a commentary on the American way of life.

It's the ideal gift for a cat lover: a thoroughly charming compendium of fabulous feline short stories, extracts, poems, and even a complete kitty astrology. Lavish illustrations and irresistible paintings are by an artist whose work has graced books, cards, stationery, jigsaws, and more. The title feline in Jan D'Lord's humorous tale, "Bluebell: Diary of a Cat Branching Out" appears stuck in a tree after chasing a squirrel. Paws balanced on branches, plaintive face stretched out in the purple evening light, Bluebell seems to await rescue. In another darling image, several cats cuddle on a bed, atop their resting owner. Whether standing in the snow, lazing in a pumpkin patch, or taking the sun on a window seat, each animal has its own beauty and winning personality. Included among the writings: William Cowper's A Poet's Cat, passages from George Orwell's A Clergyman's Daughter, and Charles Dudley Warner's Calvin the Cat.

Patrick Moore, one of the world’s best-known astronomers and host of the BBC’s record-breaking series The Sky at Night, joins forces with celebrated space artist” David Hardy in a lavishly illustrated look at our evolving images of space. Looking back to their 1972 classic, Challenge of the Stars, Moore and Hardy show how early space art sometimes proved amazingly propheticincorporating ideas about spacecraft and space stations that would later come true. They also show how some of the spectacular fantasies of the ’70s gave way to realities more fantastic still, such as the canyons of Mars, the geysers on Triton, neutron stars, and black holes.
