It's a chance for him to explore how Spain has evolved from the darker days after the civil war to its successful transition to democracy over fifty years ago, tracing those changes through its gardens - from the more conventional gardens created after the war to the rich and inventive approaches of contemporary designers.Accompanied by Derry Moore's stunning photography, Spanish Gardens is a remarkable and personal journey through one of the most popular country destinations on earth.

Take a Transit Minibus, a full-sized roof-rack loaded with camping equipment, 14 passengers, plus a driver armed with road maps of Europe, Asia and Africa and you have a phenomenon that was to be a character-forming and life-changing experience for a generation of travellers. That phenomenon was "overland". For the first time, young people had an affordable way to travel in the relative safety of a group to what, for many, had previously been inaccessible, and possibly dangerous, places. Overland brought together larger-than-life characters, involved some epic journeys and created unforgettable memories. The late 60s and early 70s was a period of Woodstock, peace, love and flower power - and a feeling of freedom was in the air. The fruits of the post-war baby boom were discovering and celebrating this new-found freedom and the time was ripe for this travel phenomenon to take off.This is a story of how a broken relationship and the urge to break out led the author, in his early twenties and raised on an Essex council estate in the 50s/60s, to take his first trip abroad as a passenger on an overland trip to Morocco in September 1969, (he admits to being so naïve at the time that he thought Morocco was somewhere in the South of France), encountering an individual who happened to be a master at concocting a cock-and-bull story which eventually landed him a job as an overland driver.He suddenly found himself inducted into the University of Life, spending the next four years on a hectic, challenging and adventurous journey across three continents, travelling extensively through Europe, Asia, India and Africa; watching the sunrise over Mount Everest, driving overnight through winter blizzards in the Anatolian mountains of Eastern Turkey and waking in the Sahara just before dawn in a complete sound vacuum. Along the way, he met some amazing, interesting and colourful characters and made lifelong friendships - and went ten-pin bowling with the Prince of Afghanistan!

Sprachen: Englisch - Format: 24,5 x 31,4 cm Eine besondere Stadt und ihr Treiben werden in moderner und humorvoller Fotografie präsentiert Bunt und etwas schrill, niemals langweilig - die Bilder von der Kunstmetropole stecken voller Geschichten Ob Ocean Drive, Miami Beach oder Art Miami, nach New York ist Miami die international am meisten besuchte Metropole in den USA Es gibt eine Stadt in den USA, die ist wahrlich von der Sonne geküsst: Miami! Gewachsen als Künstlermetropole am Meer, ist die Sunshine-City heute ein Konglomerat aus unterschiedlichsten Kulturen, zudem drittreichste Stadt der USA und bietet eine der drei größten Skylines Nordamerikas. Hier treffen Südamerikaner auf Osteuropäer, Künstler auf Sportler und Models auf Pop-Stars. Diesen bunten Mix der diese Stadt zu etwas ganz Besonderem macht, fängt Tony Kelly auf eine beeindruckend authentische Art und Weise in dem gleichnamigen Bildband "Miami" ein. Die Fotografien Kellys erzählen eine Geschichte von Glamour, Sonne und schillernder Lebenslust. Er zeigt seinen Leser:innen in einer bunten Bildersprache ungeschminkte Eindrücke der Sonnenmetropole Floridas. Schönheit, Konsum und Luxus springen einem aus diesem Bildband förmlich entgegen und als Betrachter:in bekommt man sofort Lust, in ein Flugzeug zu steigen, um die Magic City zu besuchen. "Miami" ist aber nicht nur ein Coffee Table Buch voll mitreißender Fotografien, der Autor hat bei der Auswahl der Bilder nicht an Humor gespart. Oftmals baut Kelly seinen Leser:innen ironische Szenen und scheut nicht davor zurück, Klischees über die Vice City auf die Rolle zu nehmen. Zwischen Staunen und Sehnen entlockt Kelly der Betrachter:in beim Durchblättern des unterhaltsamen Bildbandes auch das eine oder andere verschmitzte Lächeln. Wer das von Schönheit und High-Society geprägte Luxusgefühl von Miami inhalieren will, der findet in den Fotografien von Kelly die perfekte Vorlage.
5.000 Kilometer durch Amerika - Tim Voors nimmt uns mit auf die einzigartige Wanderung entlang des Continental Divide Trail.Als längster Fernwanderweg, der durch ein einziges Land führt, steht der CDT auf der Wunschliste jedes ambitionierten Wanderers. Bekannt für seine Schönheit und gleichzeitige Unberechenbarkeit ist der CDT ein Ausdauertest, der Vielseitigkeit und Anpassungsfähigkeit an die Launen der Natur abverlangt. Jedes Jahr machen sich nur wenige auf, um dieses Ziel tatsächlich zu erreichen. Tim Voors war 2022 einer von ihnen. Im Alter von 50 Jahren hat er die Strecke in unter fünf Monaten zurückgelegt und damit nach dem Pacific Crest Trail, auf dem wir ihn in dem mit gestalten veröffentlichten Allein begleiten konnten, den zweiten der drei Triple-Crown-Wege begangen. Sieben Millionen Schritte und die 15-fache Anzahl der Höhenmeter, die es braucht, um den Mount Everest zu besteigen, sind nur zwei Zahlen, die versuchen, diese Herausforderung fassbar zu machen.The Great Divide ist mehr als nur eine Geschichte - es ist eine Einladung, eigene Grenzen zu erkunden und das Unbekannte zu umarmen.
