Women
Icons by Oscar
Following the highly successful Icons (2016) by Oscar Abolafia, this new book showcases countless iconic women who appeared before his lens during his career as a glamour photographer starting in the 1960s. Stars like Sophia Loren, Cher, Twiggy, Madonna, Audrey Hepburn, and many others. A collection of remarkable, intimate photography by one of the greatest photographers of his era!
Oscar Abolafia was an American photographer known for his outstanding photojournalism of the celebrities that made the 1960s and 70s truly extraordinary. At a young age, William Vandivert, one of the founders of Magnum Photos, took him on as an assistant and showed him the ropes about technical and lighting skills. Abolafia's work made the pages of magazines such as People Magazine, Vanity Fair and Harper's Bazaar. Over a span of 50 years of work in the field of photography, he was able to build personal and intimate relationships with the most enduring stars of our age.

Serge Anton Emotions
Portraits and landscapes of the world
Photographer Serge Anton has been travelling the world for over 30 years, and has taken many portraits and landscapes during his travels in Africa and Asia. Each time, he follows a single maxim: the person or landscape in question must move him. Emotion always comes first. So this overview of his work couldn't be called anything other than Emotions. Anton's portraits tell stories without words. They reveal the recognition of exotic faces from distant cultures. The nuances of their expressive gazes, the light that shines through the monochrome and black-and-white images, the wrinkles that seem to represent lives. Serge Anton's portraits adorn many of the restaurants and hotels of modern bohemia. From Brussels to Marrakech.
Since 1988, Serge Anton has been working for various international magazines such as Architectural Digest, Elle Décoration, Marie Claire Maison, The World of Interiors, Casa Vogue, IDEAT.

The Dinosaur Revolution
6,500 copies sold in the first 3 months
Dinosaurs broke all the records in the animal kingdom. They were the longest and tallest, the fastest, the most heavily armored, and they had the largest teeth and claws. The fact that these impressive animals roamed the earth for millions of years continues to capture the imagination. Gijs Rademaker and Maarten van Rossem traveled together through Canada and the United States, where they visited excavation sites and met with experts. In British, German, and Dutch museums, they examined unique skeletons and spoke with leading dinosaur scientists.
The world-famous Tyrannosaurus rex did not stalk its prey with a loud roar, but silently. The long-necked Diplodocus had air sacs throughout its body. The feathered Velociraptor was no bigger than a turkey. Although dinosaurs come in unique shapes and sizes, they are not the terrifying monsters they are often portrayed as, but rather ordinary animals with their own place in evolution.
Find out in this title how reality outdoes fiction by far!
Gijs Rademaker is a historian, talkshow host and dinosaur expert. Maarten van Rossem is a historian, author, podcast maker and also a dinosaur enthusiast.

Build a Campervan
The definitive guide
Campervans come in different forms. Some are full to the brim with furniture, equipment, tools and everything else you may need for a life on the road. Others are blindingly simple, with next to nothing inside. Some look homemade, like a cosy burrow or hobbit hole. Others stand on the cutting edge, utilising composite materials and insulation developed by NASA. Whatever campervan you dream of owning, this book will give you the practical knowledge and inspiration to make it a reality. It also tells the stories of people who have gone through the whole process and makes you aware of the do’s and don’ts along the way.

More than 100 detailed drawings by a forensic pathologist, depicting the step-by-step approach of an autopsy

Post Mortem
Atlas of the autopsy
Let’s be honest, what most of us know about autopsies stems from TV crime shows. We immediately think of a lone forensic pathologist examining a pristine-looking body and determining the cause of death by the tiniest clue, all in record-time. The reality, of course, is starkly different.
In Post Mortem, we step inside a real-world mortuary. We stand alongside a forensic pathologist while she performs an autopsy, and we keep a meticulous record of our observations. Where was the body found? In what position? Are there any visible wounds, bruises, injection marks? What is the body’s temperature and what can that tell us? What can we deduce from the stomach’s contents, or the brain tissue, or the neck muscles? When, how and why did this person die?
Post Mortem is a fascinating visual guide into the world of forensics. With her stunning illustrations, the author is on a mission to demystify her profession, while questioning the modern day taboo that still surrounds death.
Babette Van Rafelghem is an artist who also happens to have a medical degree. Fascinated by the weird and wonderful human body, she is building a career as a forensic pathologist. Werner Jacobs is a professor in Forensic Medicine and Pathology at the University of Antwerp and a published author. He has been an expert witness in hundreds of high-profile criminal cases in Belgium.
