In seinem vielbeachteten Bildband Afghanistan berichtete Steve McCurry vom Drama eines kriegsgebeutelten und zugleich faszinierenden Landes. Animals zeigt eine andere Seite des berühmten Fotografen, der sich hier den komplexen Beziehungen zwischen Mensch und Tier widmet, sei es als Gefährten, Mitarbeiter, Transportmittel, Trophäen oder einfach nur zufällige Begegnung. Der Mensch liebt sein Tier, aber was empfindet der räudige Straßenhund, der eingerollt neben seinem Herrchen schläft, das Kamel, das während des ersten Golfkrieges ins Schussfeld gerät, oder die vom Hirten zärtlich gefütterten Ziegen? McCurrys fotografischer Blick sensibilisiert uns nicht nur für die Schönheit der Tiere, sondern auch für deren Empfindungen, ihre soziale Rolle und Würde. So ist die Zuneigung zwischen Tier und Mensch oft unmittelbar zu spüren und unterstreicht den universellen Wert von Kameradschaft. Wir erleben Designer-Hunde aus Beverly Hills, Rennpferde auf einem Dach in Hongkong, Elefanten in Thailand und Hunderte weiterer Aufnahmen aus McCurrys umfangreichen Archiven. Diese kaleidoskopische Sammlung führt nicht nur durch ferne Länder und entlegene Gegenden, die von Afrika und Asien über die Galapagosinseln und die USA bis nach Europa reichen, sondern lenkt unseren mitfühlenden Blick einmal mehr auf die treuen Wesen an unserer Seite.

The kind of fame and success The Rolling Stones have achieved in their 60-year career is without parallel; their most famous riffs and catchiest lyrics are indelibly engraved in our collective memory. With their mesmerizing on- and off-stage presence, the Stones set the standard for how a rock band should sound, pose, pout, and behave. They were the first to instinctively understand that what you looked like was as important as the music, and that photography had a vital role in promoting that image. "The clothes and the hair are always impeccable," describes author Luc Sante. "They were playing themselves, but with such consistent finesse you knew they were instinctively aware of the camera and how good they will look in the photos." Unsurprisingly many of the greatest photographers in the history of the medium wanted to take their picture. Produced in close collaboration with the band, this updated edition charts the Stones' remarkable history and outrageously cool lifestyle in over 450 pages of photographs and illustrations, gathered from archives all over the world. Unprecedented access to the Rolling Stones' own archives in New York and London adds an equally extraordinary, more private side to their story. For Mick, Keith, Charlie, and Ronnie this is their official photographic record. Features: Over 450 pages of incredible images from some of the world's greatest photographers, including David Bailey, Annie Leibovitz, Cecil Beaton, Anton Corbijn, Herb Ritts, Albert Watson, Andy Warhol, David LaChapelle, Peter Beard, Helmut Newton, Bent Rej, Gered Mankowitz, and Norman Parkinson. Essays from award-winning writers David Dalton, Waldemar Januszczak, and Luc Sante Appendix including the Stones in the media, a Stones timeline, a discography, and photographers' biographies
