As the most visited region in the world, Europe offers a tremendous range of attractions—a diversity that is even reflected on the continent’s coastline itself. Europe’s nearly 750 million residents and hundreds of thousands of annual visitors can make for crowded cities and congested towns, but the coastal areas offer plenty of spots for people to get in touch with nature—and to experience the majesty of the Atlantic Ocean. Nearly 450 awe-inspiring photos spotlight the Atlantic, which looms off the coast of western Europe as a mercilessly untamed, rugged, and endless expanse. The ocean is characterized by shoals and foaming spray, surging waves, and treacherous currents, yet it is also a unique habitat for whales and seabirds—and an inviting sight for us humans as it gleams in the light of the setting sun. Where rock, wind, and water collide—on coasts from Iceland to the Canary Islands, from northern Norway to Algarve—the range of the sea’s strength becomes evident in the empty beaches and imposing cliff faces, the black lava rocks, and the high surf pent up against stone walls.

Rebirth of the Legendary Gothic Cathedral Photographs and Text by Patrick Zachmann, with Olivier de Châlus, Foreword by General Jean-Louis Georgelin Currently rising from the ashes, Notre-Dame cathedral’s restoration is shown in this beautiful book, a genuine ode to a monument rich in symbolism and secrets. Magnum photographer Patrick Zachmann was on the scene when the disastrous fire erupted in Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral on the evening of April 15, 2019. At the time he did not yet know that he would continue to document the events at the cathedral over the months that followed. Eventually, he clambered along scaffolding and up and down steep stairs, and he would, from atop an aerial work platform, discover hitherto unknown aspects of Notre-Dame, its new silhouette, and the artistic gems that survived.

The firefighters never know what kind of emergency runs will come to them during their shifts, but the one thing that they can count on is that their loyal member with paws will always be there when they return from their run. The firehouse animals in this book all have different stories about how they came to be there—some were rescued and had a rough start, some were dropped off because their owners could no longer care for them, and some were donated to help firefighters cope with the stress of the job. No matter the way in which they arrived, they all are special companions that provide support to the brave firefighters and offer them comfort after a tough run.

The Machinist Sculptor Industry Meets Craft Chris Bathgate Explore machine work as a fine craft through the lens of Chris Bathgate’s pioneering sculpture techniques. By all rights, machining should have been embraced by artists long ago. During the 20th century, many industrial crafts were developed into studio art mediums. For a long time, however, the crafts movement rejected many forms of automation. Seen as inexpressive, expensive, and inaccessible, machine tools would be largely relegated to their industrial role until the first few years of the 2000s. Artist Chris Bathgate’s story brings visibility to the craft of modern machine work.

• Bathgate utilizes handmade tools; milling, drilling, and turning machines; CNC (computerized numerical controlled) machines; and more to form precisely crafted complex sculptures that capture the imagination and pose exciting questions about how the worlds of technology and craft are intersecting now more than ever. He combines a variety of metals—including steel, aluminum, copper, bronze, brass, and more—to create his sculptures, sometimes adding wood and other materials. • His work illustrates that inspiration often is born out of the need to solve and overcome technical challenges. • Some of his sculptures take the form of small mechanical objects, while others reflect a more traditional approach to sculpture. • Detailed schematic blueprints, CAD renderings, and in-process “how it’s made” images throughout the book augment his stunning finished pieces and the exciting backstory of how the author has developed this medium. This book explores the history and craft of machine work through the lens of Bathgate’s pioneering sculptures, and it serves as a contemporary reflection on the modern state of craft.

Chris Bathgate is a self-taught machinist, engineer, and tool builder.

More than 800 images—many reproduced as full page—make this the most comprehensive book of western movie poster art ever published, and the definitive history of a genre often underestimated for its impact on American audiences. One of the earliest narrative films, 1903’s The Great Train Robbery, was a western, and before commercial cinema was a decade old the form had proliferated to such an extent that practically every nickelodeon in the country used short-length shoot-’em-ups in their daily programs. The book begins with a fact-heavy introduction that details how western movies became popular as a result of America’s fascination with the Wild West, as portrayed in dime novels and pulp-fiction magazines. How and when the genre archetypes— white hat vs. black hat, the cowboy’s love for his horse, the western hero as roving do-gooder—were fixed is discussed. The difference between “A” and “B” movies and which westerns fit into those categories are also explained (“A”s including such movies as Stagecoach, Destry Rides Again, and True Grit, and “B”s such films as Gold Mine in the Sky, Saga of Death Valley, and Hopalong Cassidy, and the likes of Gene Autry and Roy Rogers). Each chapter devotes a special feature to a specific “western” star, writer, director, stuntman, or leading lady. Also included are the author’s firsthand interviews conducted from as far back as the mid-1970s. This unique book is a celebration of the American motion picture’s first and most enduringly popular genre.
As a film historian, Ed Hulse has written numerous books about vintage motion pictures and their stars. His columns, reviews, and articles have appeared in such outlets as Premiere Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, Variety, Video Business, the New Yorker, and the New York Times.

While traveling the world, he discovered the art of tattooing, learning to tattoo from tribesmen in Java and Borneo who showed him how to use traditional handmade tools. By 1901, Gus reportedly had 264 tattoos of his own (and over 800 by 1908), allowing him to promote himself as “the most artistically marked-up man in America.” Back home, Gus embarked on a 40-year career as a traveling tattooist, tattooed man, and circus performer. He largely eschewed the new electric tattooing machines that transformed the art form after 1890, and remained faithful to his handheld instruments. With other wandering artists, he carried tattooing inland from coastal ports, making it part of the culture of small-town America in the 20th century. This book includes • more than 100 examples of Gus Wagner’s tattoo flash as well as photos of his life and work, including his handheld tattooing tools; • excerpts from interviews with Gus, telling his story in his own words; • and selected passages from three of Herman Melville’s novels— Typee, White Jacket, and Moby Dick, to illuminate the context of the oral history of Gus Wagner; Melville was an astute observer of hand tattoo artists and their clientele. The tattoo flash in this book is a testimony to the richness of Gus Wagner’s image vocabulary, his life, and his artistic influences. This is the first in a series of three books exploring “the Last of the Hand Tattoo Artists.” The next two books will focus on Gus’s wife, Maud, and their daughter, Lovetta, renowned hand tattoo artists in their own right.

Teenage Wasteland
The Who at Winterland, 1968 and 1976 Edoardo Genzolini, Foreword by Joel Selvin
This all-access look at the legendary Who presents a glimpse of what it was like to see the band in their prime at Bill Graham’s legendary San Fransisco concert venue. In February 1968 and March 1976, the Who performed shows in the same venue, almost 10 years apart: San Francisco’s Winterland. Generally considered as two marginal years in the Who’s career, they are only apparently so. These two years represent a screen grab of the band taken in its purest form: live, and harder than ever, right before and right after the huge success the Who struggled to live with in the years between.

Winterland was the perfect setting to see the band live in the city that welcomed them as a second home, San Francisco. At the Who’s first Winterland show in February 1968, just a few hundred hippies turn up. In March 1976, the venue is crammed to capacity—5,000 tickets are sold. Still, as the Examiner noted, “The Who could have sold eight times as many,” since 43,000 requests for tickets were sent! This all-access look at those two shows is a glimpse of what it was like to see the Who at Bill Graham’s legendary concert venue, and features firsthand accounts and previously unpublished photos by fans at the shows, as well as details the band behind the scenes and onstage.

In 1970, Chris Charlesworth joined the staff of Melody Maker—at that time, one of Britain’s leading music publications—going on to serve as news editor and American editor before leaving the paper in 1977. During this period, he became particularly close to the Who, traveling with them on tour and visiting them at their homes in a social capacity. Mike McInnerney has designed record sleeves, including the Who’s Tommy, and produced editorial illustration work for leading journals such as Britain’s Sunday Times and Nova magazine. His work is exhibited at major institutions around the world, including London’s Whitechapel Art Gallery and Victoria and Albert Museum, and the Whitney Museum, New York.
This updated and expanded edition of Tommy at Fifty is the definitive illustrated companion to the album that made the Who one of the greatest and most influential bands of the rock era. Written by two leading experts on, and close associates of, the group—journalist and author Chris Charlesworth and original album cover designer Mike McInnerney—it considers the album from four distinct angles, examining the mood of its creation, the origins of its music, the look of the artwork and its subsequent film adaptation, and its enduring legacy. With a foreword by Pete Townshend and cover art created exclusively for this book by McInnerney, Tommy at Fifty offers an unparalleled window into the Who’s finest hour. With the exception perhaps of My Generation, Tommy remains the work with which the Who are most closely associated. It’s the album that turned Pete Townshend, Roger Daltrey, John Entwistle, and Keith Moon into millionaire superstars, and, like its Messiah figure title character, it casts a long shadow over both their subsequent work together and the canon of 20th-century rock music.

South Pacific Air War
The Role of Airpower in the New Guinea and Solomon Island Campaigns, January 1943 to February 1944 Richard Dunn Richard Dunn adds a third dimension to the history of the New Guinea and Solomon Island campaigns by detailing the pivotal role of airpower. In 1943 the Allies chipped away at the defensive outer barrier of the Japanese Pacific empire, particularly in the Solomon Islands and New Guinea. US Marine and Army infantry trudged through bloody jungle fighting on remote South Pacific islands such as Guadalcanal, New Georgia, and Bougainville. The US Navy waged war on Japanese shipping, seeking to prevent reinforcement and resupply for the battered Japanese ground forces. Particularly celebrated are the tiny PT boats, such as John F. Kennedy’s PT-109, which charged destroyers head on. In this work, author Richard Dunn adds a third dimension to the history of the New Guinea and Solomon Islands campaigns by detailing the pivotal role of airpower. ISBN 978-0-7643-6787-8

Confessions of an American Blackhawk Pilot in Afghanistan Joshua Havill A first-person historical account of being deployed to Afghanistan in 2009 as a midlevel, bourbon-drinking helicopter pilot with the “Screaming Eagles” of the 101st Airborne Division Observed halfway through a decades-long war, this irreverent perspective is both comical and brutally honest. In between the occasional mortar round and rocket-propelled grenades, Joshua Havill takes a direct look at the tactical and ideological substance of a conflict laced with as much debauchery as tragedy.

• The Robert Wichard Pohl letters, which are the basis of this book, have never before been translated or published • Pohl provides a rare personal account of life aboard a WWI airship • This was the first flight to exceed 100 hours, and to prove that zeppelins were, indeed, capable of flying across the Atlantic Ocean The particular flight described in Pohl’s account was captained by Ernst August Lehmann, Germany’s foremost airship captain, who was killed on the Hindenburg in 1937. It shows how this flight put into operation the lessons learned, both in the development of airships and their use in the First World War, to prove that these fragile giants were capable of flying across the Atlantic. Robert Pohl is an author and tour guide based in Washington, DC. In between tours, he researches and writes about history. This is his fifth book, and the first to combine his interests in aviation, genealogy, and history. He is a direct descendant of Robert Wichard Pohl and lives in Washington, DC.

The Fool’s New Journey Tarot Sixty Triumphs for a New Dawn
John Matthews, Illustrated by Charles Newington
Discover a completely new way of divining with Tarot that’s connected to the past but points to the future! The world is continually changing and will never be the same as it once was. Tarot, too, must change, and the Fool must begin a new journey. The advent of psychology, magical viewpoints, and worldwide societal upheaval changed everything and led scholar John Matthews to determine that something new was required—something that would bring Tarot into the present.

The Fool’s New Journey Tarot, a 60-card deck, represents recognizable aspects of the human condition without losing the deeper resonance of the traditional 78-card deck. The art created by Charles Newington is very different from that of earlier times as it strives to be simpler, more direct, and more personal in order to better speak to modern issues. It is a deck that strips away the ancient symbology, brings the Tarot back to zero, and then takes it to places it has never been before, through new dimensions and by new roads.

Scott Martin began pursuing his fascination with Tarot after retiring from teaching theater arts on the high school and college levels over a period of 48 years. He is the author of an award-winning book on Tarot and has facilitated a number of Tarot workshops in various venues in and around the New York City area.
• The “secrets” in this book have been known all along, and they work in all who read Tarot on a subconscious level. This insightful book delves deeply into the images Pamela Colman Smith created for the Rider-Waite-Smith Tarot, and reminds us of what we may have known intuitively but had not been aware of on a conscious level. • A brand-new approach that focuses on how, in her images, Smith utilized a sense of direction, body movement, posture, gait, facial expression, and more • Compares the Tarot Minors to technical elements of theater, including plot, conflict, elements of a play, thought/theme, dialogue, music, and actors’ positions on stage • Provides powerful tools for interpreting the cards and discovering new meanings that the reader can make their own • Includes thought-provoking exercises that guide the reader in the mastery of these new insights • The result is a fresh take on Tarot that brings new meanings to light and enables the reader to evaluate what the Tarot provides like never before.
From the foreword by MARY K. GREER: “Why should this theatrical approach be important to you? The trick is to first see what scene is being played out on the stage and then to see it as a metaphor for one’s own life.”

A Modern Guide to Evolving in a Conscious World Lara van Zuydam
The primeval intelligence of the human soul and the ecosystem within which it operates have long remained secret, their deeper mysteries overlooked, obfuscated, or simply misunderstood.

Bailey This powerful work explores, simplifies, and clarifies the fascinating concept of the soul and why it is important to develop self-awareness. Touching on deep topics such as death, reincarnation, and the nature of evil, it reaches beyond the light to explain how we can optimize our humanity on the journey toward self-actualization.

Children gleefully gathered around the little truck when they saw all of the books she had to give. One by one, Tilly handed each of them a special story of their very own. But when Tilly’s passion for sharing books is jeopardized, will the community come forward to help her out?
