Horrorcore by Frederick Lewis Blackwell II Based on major influences such as: The Insane Clown Posse, Esham, TECH N9NE, and Twiztid, Horrorcore is a collection of poetry for Juggalos, old school and new school alike. The wicked style and themes pop of the page and into readers’ minds, making them a feel like a certified Juggalo.

The purpose and the technique of photography is explained and discussed with many of the greatest photographers of our time. They share their visions, their challenges, their motivations and their methods, as we are taken inside the work and behind the lens through original and highly accessible ''in-their-own-words'' commentaries. The photographers featured range from award-winning photojournalists to celebrity shooters; from politicised environmentalists to elusive artists; from timeless veterans to new visionaries; and from great storytellers to the makers of lasting icons. This is a time when the creation of visual language has never been more vibrant, challenging or essential to our global culture. PHOTOWISDOM brings together the wide range of outstanding image makers to help us understand where our vision of photography can take us.

Showcasing cutting-edge underwater photography from the world''s leading marine and nature photographers, The Life & Love of the Sea is a breathtaking visual tour of the ocean''s great diversity. Readers will experience land meeting sea with images of dramatic coastlines, barrier reefs, and island chains, as well as the spectacular power of the ocean through a stunning collection of wave photographs. Offering an extensive survey of the ocean''s many fascinating inhabitants, Blackwell presents incredible images of everything from whales to manta rays to seals to endless schools of fish to the creatures that reside in the deepest recesses of the ocean floor. The book also makes available bonus footage via a scannable QR code from multi-award- winning underwater cameraman Steven Hathaway.

Award-winning photographer Tim Flach has spent years inquiring into the essential bond we have with animals. Now he presents the culmination of a career-long endeavor, an extraordinary body of work in which each image is more striking and powerful than the last. Just as did Flach''s highly acclaimed previous books, "Equus "and "Dogs," "More than Human "will amaze and inspire, in a constant affirmation of the animal, whether it be rare or common, powerful or defenseless, odd or majestic. The book showcases a menagerie of creatures--pandas, tigers, bats, lions, orangutans, cobras, bullfrogs, chimpanzees, wolves, porcupines, elephants, owls, armadillos, among many others--as they have never been seen before. Shedding light on Flach''s images will be an accessible collection of texts, written and edited by author Lewis Blackwell. Praise for "More Than Human: " "A gallery of animal portraits that are unlike anything we''ve seen before." --"The Wall Street Journal" "His technique is impeccable; this is one of the most gorgeous photography books of the year. But what makes it more than a coffee-table trifle is the way Flach''s images connect us--with near-tactile sensation and soulfulness--to the creatures on display." --NPR.org "Arresting portraits that express photographer Flach''s ''sense of wonderment in nature.''" --"People" """Astoundingly sharp images." - The San Francisco Chronicle"" "Compelling and unexpected." --"The Denver Post" "Treat yourself to the full glory of "More Than Human," for the screen hardly does it justice." --Brain Pickings.com "A book of animal photographs guaranteed to dazzle viewers with their color, detail, clarity and, most of all, their uncanny ''humanity.''"-- BookPage
