Vincent Lagrange s masterful portraits show dogs as real personalities.What makes dogs so unique? They are the only species that favor the company of humans over their own kind.How similar are animals and humans? Are animals really soulmates to humans or do we just tend to humanize other species? These questions arise when we look at Vincent Lagrange s The Human Animals Project series of images.A dog looks at us with a deep understanding and empathy perhaps greater than our own. In this charming book of dog photography, Vincent Lagrange records this treasured intimacy with our four-legged friends.Taken in front of neutral, mostly dark backgrounds, the dogs radiate dignity and wisdom like in the portraits of old masters.Applying the techniques of portrait photography, which he learned in his youth at his father and mentor Marc Lagrange s studio, he captures our canine counterparts in crisp, perfectly illuminated pictures that allow their own soulful personalities to shine through.With his portraits, Lagrange wants to give these individuals a voice and let them tell their own story.This volume is the first to bring together Vincent Lagrange s dog pictures, which make up the core of his animal portraits. Pictures that you can t get enough of.The Belgian photographer Vincent Lagrange was born in 1988 and learned the art of portrait photography from an early age in the studio of his father Marc Lagrange. Vincent Lagrange was given a cat named Dwiezel from him as a child, who lost an eye after an illness. He began to document their dignified handling of this suffering - the beginning of his series The Human Animals Project, in which he portrayed animals as unique personalities.

A book about what humans have done to the world and what we have done to ourselves. Specifically, it is a book about ⠘Man⠙s best friends⠙ ⠓ their origin-myths, and their place in the world before they were coopted into human society and ideas of pure breeding and dysgenics. The Dogs also imagines a future where dogs develop the power of speech; led by the non-violent UnderDogs and the more radical Der Uberhünd, the animals of the world begin demanding their rights.

A compelling history of the Black Death that scoured Europe in the mid 14th-century killing twenty-five million people. It was one of the worst human disasters in history.â ˜The bodies were sparsely covered that the dogs dragged them forth and devoured themâ ¦And believing it to be the end of the world, no one wept for the dead, for all expected to die.â ™ Agnolo di Turo, Siena, 1348In just over a thousand days from 1347 to 1351 the Black Death travelled across medieval Europe killing thirty per cent of its population. It was a catastrophe that touched the lives of every individual on the continent. The deadly Y. Pestis virus entered Europe in October 1347 by Genoese galley at Messina, Sicily. In the spring of 1348 it was devastating the cities of central Italy, by June 1348 it had reached France and Spain, and by August England. At St Maryâ ™s, Ashwell, Hertfordshire, an anonymous hand carved the following inscription for 1349: â ˜Wretched, terrible, destructive year, the remnants of the people alone remain.â ™According to the Foster scale, a kind of Richter scale of human disaster, the plague of 1347-51 is the second worst catastrophe in recorded history. Only World War II produced more death, physical damage, and emotional suffering. Defence analysts use it as the measure of thermonuclear war â “ in geographical extent, abruptness and casualties.In â ˜The Great Mortalityâ ™ John Kelly retraces the journey of the Black Death using original source material â “ diary fragments, letters and manuscripts. It is the devastating portrait of a continent gripped by an epidemic, but also a very personal story, narrated by the individuals whose lives were touched by it.

Coupling the grand guignol morality of Paul Schrader and Martin Scorsese s Taxi Driver (1976) with the squashed black-and-white perspectives and grotesque human physiognomy (and humanity) that defines Chester Gould s Dick Tracy, Marti s The Cabbie (starring the eponymous hero known only as the Cabbie) was first published in instalments in 1980s Spain, a product of a life lived under, and coming out of, Franco s fascist dictatorship. In Volume One (initially published in 2011), the Cabbie s father s coffin is stolen in an act of vengeance for the Cabbie s vigilantism - right after his mother tells him his inheritance is inside! Cabbie takes to the mean streets in a quest to find it. In Volumes Two and Three (both never before available in English), Cabbie runs the gauntlet of mad science, dog races where the dogs chase humans, evil millionaires, presidents, and popes in addition to every nightmare scenario imaginable. Ultra violent, ultra profane, and ultra vicious, The Cabbie is filled with scummy noir characters exaggerated to the absolute limit - and the worst of them all might be the titular Cabbie, precisely because, not unlike Travis Bickle, he sees himself as a force for good. There have been various incomplete English editions over the last four decades, but this is the definitive Cabbie saga published in English for the first time, complete with extras, including a cover gallery!

Throughout the course of the Second World War, many millions of animals were enlisted to serve. Though they had no choice, yet they demonstrated loyalty, determination and bravery as they shared the burden of war with their human companions both on active service and on the Home Front. From the dogs trained to locate air-raid victims buried under rubble, to the mules that carried ammunition and supplies through the jungles of the Far East, each animal played a crucial role in the war effort. In fact, such was their contribution that those animals that showed exceptional gallantry or devotion to duty were recognised officially with the introduction of the Dickin Medal in 1943. This fascinating book draws from first-hand accounts and contemporary sources to reveal the wide-ranging contributions that animals made both on and off the battlefield.

Never give up hope before the dogs have crossed the finishing-line.Harryboy Boas is a lowlife gambler. When he s not at the track, he lives in a Hackney boarding house, reading Zola, eating salt beef, pressing trousers and repressing wartime memories.

A sweeping historical novel of the American West from the little-seen perspective of those who helped to build it, Straw Dogs of the Universe traces the story of one Chinese father and his young daughter, desperate to find him against all odds. After her village is devastated by famine, 10-year-old Sixiang is sold to a human trafficker for a bag of rice and six silver coins. Her mother is reluctant to let her go, but the promise of a better life for her beloved daughter ultimately sways her. Arriving in America with the profits from her sale and a single photograph of Guifeng, her absent father, Sixiang journeys across an unfamiliar American landscape in the hopes of reuniting her family. As she makes her way through an unforgiving new world, her father, a railroad worker in California, finds his attempts to build a life for himself both upended and defined by a long-lost love and the seemingly inescapable violence of the American West. A generational saga ranging from the villages of China to the establishment of the transcontinental railroad and the anti-Chinese movement in California, Straw Dogs of the Universe considers the tenacity of family ties and the courage it takes to survive in acountry that rejects you, even as it relies upon your labor.
