Review Antarctica: Explorer Series, Vol. 1 (Explorer (Nahanni)) / Nahanni Productions:ANTARCTICA is a masterpiece said by many to be the most exquisite photography book created in modern times. Enhanced by antique book-binding traditions and sumptuous, archival materials, this objet d'art has received 19 international awards for excellence and craftsmanship - more than any other modern book. These awards include: World's Best Photography Book; Gold Ink Award - Fine Edition Books; Outstanding Book of the Year - Best Bookarts Craftsmanship; Benjamin Franklin Award (World's best printing); Art Craft Science Award etc. Ten years of intensive effort have culminated in the release of just 950 books and 50 proofs – a true limited-edition. ANTARCTICA has already been acquired by private collectors, institutions, and rare book libraries on five continents. ANTARCTICA is forever limited to this one, exclusive edition. There will never be a reprint, a cloth-bound or paperback version. The original printing plates have been shredded and then melted. Each tome is individually numbered in calligraphy and signed by creators Pat and Rosemarie Keough. H. [+]M. Queen Noor of Jordan has also autographed each tome to verify that all net proceeds will benefit the "Save the Albatross" campaign. HRH Prince Charles hosted the official unveiling of ANTARCTICA. The 336 pages include 345 images by photographers Pat and Rosemarie Keough. Experts in polar research and art have stated that there is not another published portfolio of Antarctica to equal that of the Keoughs. The International Photography Awards committee honoured the Keoughs with the award "Nature Photographer of the Year" for their imagery in ANTARCTICA. Each image has been superbly reproduced on luxurious, heavy paper using light-fast pigments and the world's highest resolution lithography. The tome's weight, at 27. 6 pounds in its presentation box, is similar to that of a two-year-old child. The dimensions of the book are 17. 25" x 13. 5" x 2. 5". All books are sewn and bound entirely by hand in full morocco, a fine-grained goat leather, using book-binding artistry that dates to 15th-century Venice. ANTARCTICA is the first volume to successfully marry the grace of the "classic European" style of fine handing together with the rugged strength and durability of the "split-board" construction techniques. This means that the binding of this incredibly strong yet elegant book cannot be damaged except by purposeful effort! Each copy is presented in a sturdy linen and velvet archival box.

Review Arabian Boundary Disputes 20 Volume Set / Archive Editions Ltd:Arabian Boundary Disputes is designed as an historical and legal dossier on the development of the international boundaries within the Arabian peninsula, and includes material covering the Arabian peninsula's most critical territorial disputes: Iran-Iraq, Iraq-Kuwait, Bahrain-Qatar and Saudi Arabia-Yemen. Each boundary is documented from its origins in international diplomacy up to 1992, the year of publication of this collection. In order to broaden the historical perspective and particularly to bring the documentary materials as close to the present as possible a wider range of international archival sources was used, and along with a wider geographical coverage and the inclusion of all pertinent contemporary materials, this differentiates Arabian Boundary Disputes from its forerunner, Arabian Boundaries.

Review Selected Works 1992-2005 / teNeues:The Canadian-born artist began his career in 1983 in Paris making documentaries on social issues, which led to his fine art photography. He then began travelling to far-flung destinations to film and photograph wondrous interactions between humans and animals, during which time he did not publicly show his films or exhibit his photographs. Since 1992, he has launched more than 40 expeditions to such places as India, Burma, Sri Lanka, Egypt, Dominica, Ethiopia, Kenya, Tonga, Namibia, and Antarctica. Elephants, whales, leopards, and saltwater crocodiles are among the animals he has photographed. Human subjects include Burmese monks, trance dancers, and Colbert himself free diving with whales.
