Baja California is uncompromising. It is a 1,220-kilometer-long peninsula of desert and cactus, with the Pacific Ocean on one side and the Sea of Cortez on the other, beaten by strong winds, eroded by gigantic waves, and made incandescent by hot summers! Not Food for Old Men is a gastronomic and photographic adventure to explore this region suspended between the US and Mexico. The lobster, marlin, octopus, chiles, and ribs are the cornerstones of a kitchen at the “end of the world,” often overlooked and for this reason even more authentic.

It might seem nearly impossible to describe Tuscany solely through unique photographs and littleknown subjects. Yet this book aims at doing just that by taking you through the great moments in the history of the Etruscans, the Middle Ages, and the Renaissance. Then it will take you to the “art capital of the world”—Florence—as well as through all the other large and small villages that make up the unparalleled mosaic of marvels: Lucca, Pisa, Arezzo, Siena, Pienza, and San Gimignano. It will take you from the Tuscan archipelago to the forest-covered mountains, from the beaches to the countryside, all the way to the patient human work in the marble quarries and in the most refined artisan creations. Finally, this book will show you the festivals and rituals of Tuscany, its world-renowned cuisine, as well as its legendary friendliness.

“I have been told that, if you want to understand the island of Sicily at all, you must climb the volcano to tread the hard rock for yourself.” It is from Mount Etna, the great heart of fire that beats within Sicily, that this unusual guidebook begins discovering a land of exceptional beauty. It is a suggestive journey made of words and images that vividly recalls colours, life, and the thousand-year-old history of the diverse cultures of this triangle of land located in the middle of the Mediterranean.

Belvedere

In volo sulla Toscana Flying Above Tuscany Author: Guido Cozzi Photographer: Guido Cozzi Translator: Richard Sadleir

“Beautiful things, when viewed from above, are even more beautiful.” Various books recount Tuscany from the sky: from certain heights, this land looks even more spectacular. But this book adopts a novel viewpoint: a bird’s eye view, high enough to be above the earth’s surface, but not out of touch with the earth, moving in that sphere that belongs to the world of birds. By making use of drones, telescopic carbon fiber poles, remote-control craft, precision gimbals, and whatever else serves to raise him off the ground—helicopters, ballooons, gliders, paragliders, ultralight aircraft, biplanes—and climbing towers and chimneys, Guido Cozzi has captured a completely new image of Tuscany. From above, but not too high up.

$ 29.95 | € 24.00 | £ 20.00 978-88-99180-18-8 Hardback 6.5 x 9.5 in (16.5 x 24 cm) 192 Bilingual: Italian and English

Balsamico is not just a recipe book, but also the story of Gloria Midolini’s love for an ingredient that has been a part of the history of Italian cuisine for many centuries. Original combinations enhance the very essence of the balsamic vinegar and are used in simple recipes that anyone can recreate. The author’s love for balsamic vinegar has been handed down from her family—who, fifty years ago, began an adventure that has resulted in the largest vinegar cellar in the world, in the heart of the fascinating lands of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Balsamico grew from the need for the use of this “magical” ingredient to be made a part of everyday dishes and to enjoy sharing this noble and traditional ingredient, dating back to Roman times, with anyone who loves cooking.

Have you ever considered cooking with the kids? It might seem impossible, but in fact, spending some family time in the kitchen preparing meals together can even be fun. In this book Maria Castellano has chosen some simple and tasty recipes that can transform the kitchen into a place of occasions to have fun and grow. The photographs by Stefano Scatà and illustrations by Monica Parussolo allow kids to feel included and an integral part of the preparation of meals. Enthusiasm certainly will not be lacking! Every meal can be an excellent occasion to experiment: from a carefree Sunday brunch to the most difficult math homework; from the Christmas tree decoration to Mother’s or Father’s Day; from the visit of a friend from abroad to a pajama party; from a lunch with the grandparents to a springtime picnic under a tree.

Cake making in the Veneto is a complex matter. At first glance it may seem neglected, almost absent, but a closer look reveals ancient roots and some true marvels. Tiramisù, pandori, bussolai buranelli, zaleti, St. Martin’s biscuits, fave dei morti, fritole, and galani. Its pastries are essentially simple: made from a few ingredients, but delicious. Sometimes a little countrified, shunning complications. Just like the people: concrete, direct, and straight to the heart.

Sweet, intense, and colourful is how Sicilian patisserie will appear to the fortunate eyes seeing it for the first time. Those who have time to get to know it well, however, will also find it sensual, dramatic, and irreverent. Because making pastries in Sicily is never purely a gastronomic issue: it may be a declaration of love, social ostentation of personal wealth, or even a way of mocking a defeated enemy. It is a gesture that underpins countless intentions, coded and described in stories rooted in the mists of time. This anthology collects some of those stories and the most delicious Sicilian sweets, illustrated by poignant images and accompanied by some personal tips, the scent of childhood and memories, all bound together by one embedded certainty: In Sicily, a sweet is never something that is just good to eat. It is a magical microcosm, an ancient tale, a legend that demands to be told.

New York

Metaphysics of the Urban Landscape Photographer: Gabriele Croppi

I Edition 2014 Price ISBN Format Size Pages Language

$ 45.00 | € 38.00 | £ 32.00 978-88-95218-69-4 Hardback 14 x 12.5 in (35 x 32 cm) 96 English

Gabriele Croppi’s work stands out for its stark form and composition, juxtaposing solitary figures in some of the busiest and most chaotic areas of the city. Croppi seems to perceive the weakness of the objective world and the interior resonance that his dark tones and emptiness are capable of obtaining. The color black, so very dominant in this series, far from being a mere stylistic element, acts as a dramatic process. An estrangement is carried out by an obstinate focusing on all the particulars of the image, with the conviction that in photography the metaphysical dimension is strengthened by an extremely realistic, or even a hyper-realistic, language.

Photographing New York is a celebration of one of the world’s iconic cities, seen through the lens of an international cooperative of professional photographers and photo agencies at the pinnacle of the city’s positive rejuvenation. Photographing New York is not an instruction manual in the classic sense. It’s a study of four cornerstones of photography: Light, Composition, Exposure, and Seeing (or Vision) as they’ve been applied to real-world, urban photography by contemporary, professional photographers. It’s a visual guide, an inspiration for photographers living in or travelling to New York.
