Join Toby the Bison in this fact-filled adventure as he explores the Ice Age Tundra and meets some of the giants that roamed it's icy surface. Ten thousand years ago, the Earth was in the grips of what Paleontologists call the Last Glacial Period, but what you and I have come to know as the Ice Age. The inhabitants of this frozen landscape lived in some of the coldest conditions the earth has ever experienced. But before these giants grew to their great size, they were young and, like Toby, very, very inquisitive. "Toby and the Ice Giants" is a wonderfully illustrated story that delivers digestible facts about the Earth's historic inhabitants. Share in Toby's lively curiosity, experience the danger of the polar climes and meet some larger than life characters on the way.

L'oeil du photographe Robert Polidori a su capter les merveilles du Val de Loire: que ce soit la remarquable salle féodale du château de Blois, les forteresses de Saumur et d'Angers ou la magnificence d'Azay-le-Rideau, construit dans les premières années du règne de François Ier, ou encore la grandeur de Chambord, châteaux de contes et de légendes... Ne fallait-il pas rendre hommage, tout au long d'un reportage unique, magique, où s'entremêlent châteaux brumeux, châteaux modestes, châteaux grandioses, châteaux fiers ou châteaux discrets, à cette région où les rois choisirent de bâtir somptueusement? Robert Polidori dont l'ouvrage Versailles a enchanté et surpris des milliers de lecteurs s'est passionné pour cette région du Val de Loire. Il a su nous faire partager son enthousiasme. Jean-Marie Pérouse de Montclos, quant à lui, nous fait revivre l'histoire de ce Val de Loire où l'architecture a triomphé.

The archetype of 'my enemy's enemy is my friend', India's political and economic presence in Afghanistan is often viewed as a Machiavellian ploy aimed against Pakistan. The first of its kind, this book interrogates that simplistic yet powerful geopolitical narrative and asks what truly drives Indian's Afghanistan policy. Based on an extensive repertoire of hitherto untapped primary sources including official memoranda, diplomatic correspondence, and a series of interviews with key political actors, My Enemy's Enemy provides a comprehensive analysis of India's strategy debates and foreign policymaking processes vis-a-vis Afghanistan, from the last decade of the Cold War to the 1990s Afghan civil war and the more recent US-led war on terror. It demonstrates that Indian presence in Afghanistan has been guided primarily by an enduring vision for the region that requires a stable balance of power across the Durand Line. Paliwal offers a nuanced understanding of India's strategic intent and actions, which is critical to resolving the seemingly unending war in Afghanistan, as well as wider bilateral disputes between the two South Asian rivals.

In Perfect Day, Txema Salvans photographs Spain's holiday-makers in unexpected corners of the postindustrial landscape. Sunbathers congregate in car parks, swimming pools are nestled between encroaching buildings, and cranes and cooling towers loom over beaches. In these surreal, banal and humorous scenes, Salvans reveals how the pursuit of leisure persists in spite of the ominous pressures of the built environment, expressing a deeply human determination to adapt, and find repose, against the odds. Although many of these photographs were made near the sea, the sea itself remains invisible: a silent, implicit witness and a backcloth that has been inverted. Instead, we see - in a literal sense - what the images subjects want to turn their back on. Beneath the surface of these scrupulously composed tableaux are potent questions about class, national identity, and the politics of space: a depiction of simple pleasures advocating our rights to them.
