"Here are some of Mr. Abolafia’s most memorable, most enduring portraits of the rich and famous (…) Thanks, Oscar, for preserving these thrilling images so we will never forget." — Dick Stolley in People Magazine"For the true bookworm who loves culture, history and iconic images, this new photo book by Oscar Abolafia is an irresistible gift." — Elle NetherlandsAfter the highly successful first book Icons by Oscar, a new book is now released, showcasing numerous iconic women who appeared before his lens throughout his career as a glamour photographer starting in the 1960s. Stars like Sophia, Cher, Twiggy, Madonna, Audrey, and many more. A collection of extraordinary, intimate photos by one of the greatest photographers of his time!

Jeff Bark's Drunk Dad is a deeply intimate monograph in which he presents unbridled addiction. Not as spectacle, but as a beautiful escape. Shaped by memory and longing, and by a learned idea of masculinity that resists softness while quietly demanding it. Working alone, the photographer transformed his backyard garage into a filmic, Lynchian stage, hand building masterfully lit sets and unflinching still lives. The wonderment of Disney and the loneliness of Hopper inform the photos shot on location in and around his hometown in northern Minnesota. Each image feels like a fragment of a story - at once painfully honest and hauntingly ambiguous - inviting viewers to piece together the emotional landscape of a father's unravelling. The implosion of the American dream is palpable in almost every image.

This is a book about the future. Not the bleak, dystopian kind that so many seem convinced we’re heading toward, but one that is built on hope, possibility, and progress. Humanity faces complex global challenges, from technological and geopolitical shocks to social and ecological disruptions. Fear, hesitation, and avoidance won’t help us overcome them. Slowing down is not the answer. We must move faster, think bigger, and fully leverage technology to build a future worth striving for. We need active hope and bold leaders who can turn adversity into opportunity.The Uncertainty Principle focuses on the key levers of transformation to help leaders rethink and reshape their companies: strategy, foresight, organizational design, culture, innovation, risk appetite, and the evolving nature of work. Above all, it serves as a guide for those who see cracks in the system not as warnings, but as windows—those daring enough to believe they can change the world, because they are the ones who will."As we zoom up the exponential curve of tech enabled change we all need an optimistic and inspiring guide. Peter Hinssen is that guide. In this new book Peter describes a “Never Normal” world helping us navigate “between the forces of pessimism and possibility”. — Dr Peter Weill, Chairman MIT Center for Information Systems Research (CISR)"In an age when warnings dominate the conversation, The Uncertainty Principle stands out as a refreshingly optimistic guide. It demonstrates how business leaders can turn disruption into opportunity—not just for their own organizations, but for the world at large". — Costas Markides, Professor of Strategy and Entrepreneurship at London Business School"Uncertainty isn’t a threat—it’s the raw material for tomorrow’s opportunities. This book helps leaders imagine the impossible and install hope to change the future. A must-read!" — David De Cremer, Dean of D’Amore-McKim School of Business at Northeastern University

"Award-winning Belgian photojournalist Nick Hannes casts a critical eye on six newly built capital cities around the world, from Korea to Kazakhstan, and questions whether they are really serving the people who live in them." — Elle Decoration UKWhat does the ideal capital look like? Photographer Nick Hannes travelled to six countries – Egypt, Korea, Nigeria, Kazakhstan, Indonesia and Brazil – that have recently built a new capital or are in the process of doing so. Each and every one of them is a typical example of what Rem Koolhaas calls the Generic City: a planned city without historical layers, local identity, or its own character. As a visual sociologist with a sharp eye for detail, Hannes searches for the human dimension in a setting full of spectacular architecture and pompous prestige projects. New Capital is a critical reflection on unbridled neoliberal urban development and its social and ecological consequences, but is also peppered with subtle humour and surprising coincidences. Meandering between pride and sadness, New Capital shows how utopia and dystopia are sometimes surprisingly close.
