Photographer Andrew Zuckerman's strikingly detailed images of animals from around the world are as delightful as they are inspiring. "The art of photography is about contact: contact with a fellow human being or contact with a particular scene or situation. This book speaks to me about the contact we have with the many different species that inhabit this planet with us," he says.

Featuring hundreds of birds-eye photographs, this volume expands our perceptions of a city that already looms large in our mind's eye. Taking readers on an aerial adventure above this ever-fascinating city and its surrounding, the images in "High Above Venice" depict a city that is as breathtakingly beautiful in reality as it is in our imagination. A wide variety of panoramas depict the sights that are distinctly Venetian: the emerald-green Lagoon with its picturesque islands of Burano, Torcello, and Murano, the brightly-coloured homes of Burano, the network of canals branching out from the 'S' shaped Grand Canal, the venerable palaces, centuries-old homes, and world-famous monuments which are all the more compelling when viewed from above.For anyone who has experienced the magic of Venice, this volume is a souvenir to be cherished. And for anyone who hopes to travel to this city, it will serve as inspiration.

Take a truly technicolour tour of one of the most remarkable construction projects of 2009 in all its architectural glory. British broadcaster, writer and toy 'nut-case' James May lived a childhood dream by designing, building and sleeping in a quite stunning full-size house inspired by and completely made from LEGO, one of the world's most favourite toys and a design icon in its own right. James May's "Lego House" provides a complete photographic record of this stunning creation which now proudly holds the Guinness World Record for the largest free-standing LEGO structure.
