Home: A Hymn to the Planet and Humanity
From the author of the multimillion-copy international bestseller Earth From Above comes a moving and brilliantly photographed new book.

A globe-spanning exploration of the planet, complete with Arthus-Bertrand’s unforgettable images and an informative text by the team at Good Planet, a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting sustainable development, Home is a celebration of Earth’s beauty and an impassioned call to protect it from destruction. Compelling and defiantly optimistic, Home voyages through over 50 countries, considering the environment’s current condition and factors which will play a role in determining its future. As Arthus-Bertrand says, “It isn’t the 50 percent of forest that has disappeared that’s important, but the 50 percent that’s left.”

6 Billion Others: Portraits of Humanity from Around the World
The latest project from bestselling photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand,6 Billion Others presents the photographic portraits and transcribed responses of 500 men and women, interviewed on video over the past six years. This understated yet compelling look at ways of life both familiar and strange creates an instructive, affecting biography of modern humanity. Inspired by the idea that "every single person has got something interesting to say, and every single person has the right to say it," Arthus-Bertrand created a questionnaire of 40 prompts on universal topics such as family, happiness, money, and love, and dispatched six filmmakers to interview more than 5,000 subjects in 75 countries around the world. About one-tenth of the resulting 3,500 hours of film is available online, with subtitles.

Horses
by Seymour Simon, Thomas McGuane, unknown author, Laura Driscoll, A. M. Homes, Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Jill Greenberg, Nicola Jane Swinney, Jean-Louis Gouraud
Travel the world of horses, with two major American artists as your guides.
Horses and humans have a long history together, from wild steppe to farm field to battlefield, from rodeo arena to backyard. In Horses, Jay Dusard and Thomas McGuane illuminate the special bond that grows between riders and mounts. Their book is a memorable collaboration between two masters: Dusard offers his insight in words as well as in his extraordinary photography, McGuane in a pair of essays.
"Those who love horses are impelled by an ever-receding vision, some enchanted transformation through which the horse and the rider become a third, much greater thing," writes McGuane, also an acclaimed novelist and horseman. More than words, more than pictures, this slim, beautiful book is also a "third thing."
"To some people," McGuane observes, "horses have wings." Comic, exquisite, gritty, and wiseHorses flies on wings of its own. 45 b/w and color photos.

Horses
by Seymour Simon, Thomas McGuane, unknown author, Laura Driscoll, A. M. Homes, Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Jill Greenberg, Nicola Jane Swinney, Jean-Louis Gouraud
In Horses, Seymour Simon introduces elementary-school readers to horses through engaging descriptions and stunning full-color photographs. He teaches readers all about horses through pictures, diagrams, and maps. This book includes a glossary and index.
What animal can . . . run so fast, its feet don't always touch the ground, weigh more than 2,000 pounds, sense people's emotions by their smell, . . . and wear shoes? Why, a horse, of course!
Horses are some of the most fascinating--and important--creatures on Earth. In fact, our world would not be the way it is today if not for horses. Horses have carried medieval knights into battle, transported settlers to the American West, and hauled fire engines and buses. They even turned the wheels that provided power for factories! But one of their greatest, most enduring gifts to us is companionship and trust.

Horses
by Seymour Simon, Thomas McGuane, unknown author, Laura Driscoll, A. M. Homes, Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Jill Greenberg, Nicola Jane Swinney, Jean-Louis Gouraud
Best known for her amazingly anthropomorphic and affectionate portraits of monkeys and bears, Jill Greenberg turns her lens to horses for her new photographic collection. This is the perfect gift for every horse lover. In this beautifully conceived volume, Jill Greenberg captures the powerful, romantic, and enigmatic nature of horses through her signature lens in photographs that make these animals all the more otherworldly yet familiar. Where Greenberg’s earlier books explored the mystery and depth of emotion behind some of nature’s most dangerous creatures (Kodiak and polar bears, baboons, and gibbons, among others), Horses is an elegiac exploration of these heroic and often idealized creatures. Transformed by Greenberg’s lens, the horse’s powerful physical beauty becomes a hyper-real vision, and her gorgeous prints seduce us in a subtle manner with their sensuous, painterly textures. Horses were Greenberg’s first muse and love, and for this portfolio she returns to her original inspiration. Featuring stunning photographs of a range of horse breeds, from Friesians and Andalusians to Arabian stallions, Lusitanos, and thoroughbred performance horses, this book is a gorgeous tribute to these spirited and powerful creatures and the perfect gift for those officially and unofficially devoted to horses, horseback riding, and racing.

Horses
by Seymour Simon, Thomas McGuane, unknown author, Laura Driscoll, A. M. Homes, Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Jill Greenberg, Nicola Jane Swinney, Jean-Louis Gouraud
The lives of humans and horses have been intricately linked for thousands of years, with equines depicted in cave paintings dating back to 5000 BC. Horses have been developed by humans for many purposes--for war, for working in the field and in industry, for competitive sports events such as the Olympic Games, and as pets. Horses covers the world's most charismatic and iconic breeds, from the noble Arab and Akhal-Teke, through working breeds such as the mighty Percheron and diminutive Fell pony, to 'primitive' equines such as Przewalski's Horse and the Polish Konik.
Each breed entry showcases a unique and beautiful equine breed, showing it in magnificent full-color photographs; these are accompanied by a historical account of the breed's origins and history. More than 70 amazingly diverse breeds are featured.

Freshwater The View from Above and the Life Below
by Yann Arthus-Bertrand, Bill François
From the bestselling author and photographer of Earth from Above, which has sold millions of copies worldwide, comes Freshwater, a stunning photography book that unveils the secrets of an invisible world, where every freshwater river, lake, and stream has a story to tell
Earth from Above author and photographer Yann Arthus-Bertrand is back with another heartfelt call to save our planet--only this time, he is raising awareness for the freshwater that makes up the a large amount of Earth's surface.
With biophysicist, naturalist, and writer Bill François working alongside him, the duo explore the world through the lens of our freshwater systems, a fundamental yet largely overlooked element essential for life on Earth.
Filled with Arthus-Bertrand's classic aerial photography that has sold over 2 million copies, Freshwater demonstrates freshwater's creation at the high mountain tops of ice-cold glaciers to its flow through Mexican cenotes, Balkan caves, the American Great Lakes, the Parisian Seine, and more.
This gorgeous coffee table book not only shows off Earth's beauty, but also explores we are destroying it. Due to overfishing, pollutants, mismanagement, climate change, and other largely human-made issues, we are ridding the world of an important resource. However, through sustainable, global action, we can bring back the biodiversity in our waterways, allowing plant, animal, and human life to flourish.
