A dramatic collection of photographs revealing the world¿s most beautiful climbing locations, from Tsaranoro in Madagascar and Teplicke in the Czech Republic to Mount Huashan in China. The popularity of rock climbing is burgeoning across the globe, with dedicated communities practising everything from bouldering to sport climbing, top-roping to free soloing, in beautiful locations around the world. This stunning collection of climbing photography reveals the beauty of the sport from behind the lens, where patterned rock faces, vertical spires, honeycomb holds and sweeping landscapes of ochre, slate and snow all provide breath-taking visual drama. Capturing the beauty, theatre and emotions of a climb in a single shuttered moment invites the viewer to reflect, and meditative texts, written by the world¿s premier climbers and focusing on themes from intensity to environment, lines to roofs, trace the experience of being out on the rock face. A reference section includes practical details such as a glossary, grading table and list of selected routes. From the beauty of movement to the bounds of human endeavour, the splendour of landscapes and the allure of otherworldly formations, the art of rock climbing is shown in all its glories.

The Brentwood Stations of the Cross is a record of a project initiated by Father Martin Boland, Dean of Brentwood Cathedral and curated by artist Simon Carter. Fifteen contemporary painters have each interpreted one of the Stations of the Cross, the resulting paintings were first exhibited in Brentwood Cathedral, Essex from Ash Wednesday to Good Friday 2015. Father Martin Boland writes, "The artists who created the Brentwood Stations of the Cross have approached this challenge with the same creative openness and intellectual rigour which they would have applied to any other subject; and this project has shown not only that art and faith can find creative ways to talk to one other, but that they have a real moral imperative so to do." This is a project of Contemporary British Painting, a grouping established in 2012 by artists Simon Carter and Robert Priseman with the aim to promote the practise of, and debate around contemporary painting. Introduction by Simon Carter, Essay by Fr. Martin Boland and short texts by the 15 artists. Fully illustrated in colour.

Artists' Corner in St Paul's Cathedral is the final resting place for some of the greatest artists working in the United Kingdom, including Turner, Leighton and Millais. British painters of the 19th century are shoulder to shoulder with artists from America and Continental Europe who made Britain their home and helped to shape national taste.Artists' Corner reflects a golden age of artistic production, when the visual arts were central to British cultural pride and identity, when the funerals of the cultural figures were occasions of national mourning, and their achievements were marked with monuments and enduring plaques.All of the painters and sculptors memorialised in Artists' Corner are brought together in this guide, with references to some of their master works which chart a trajectory from history painting to the arrival of impressionism and abstraction in the 20th century.
