The short life of A.J.A. Symons (1900-41) was described by his biographer as an intricate and largely harmless confidence trick. His many interests included the collection of musical boxes and rare books as well as the study and practice of forgery; they left him time to edit an anthology of Edwardian verse and compose studies of H.M. Stanley and other notable figures. He is remembered for The Quest for Corvo, one of the most remarkable biographies ever written, and for co-founding the Wine and Food Society.

Published to huge critical acclaim to support the major BBC television series on this ever more influential art form, this landmark book explores the key events and the key images that have marked the development of photography. At the heart of the book is a quest to understand what makes a truly great photograph. What is it that makes a photograph by Nan Goldin or Henri Cartier Bresson stand out among the millions of others taken by all of us every single day?  The Genius of Photography examines the evolution of photography in its wider context: social, political, economic, technological and artistic. It also brings a critical perspective and a strong aesthetic sense to the subject. Beginning with the earliest days of the photograph in the 1840s and ending with an examination of the state of photography today and the effect that the 'digital revolution' will have, the book challenges not only how we look at a photograph but what it is in a physical sense. It examines all the different genres of photography from landscape and portraiture to news and reportage. It also tells the great stories behind many of the world's most iconic photographs and reveals the extraordinary characters  -  from Louis Daguerre and Cindy Sherman, Paul Strand and Robert Capa  -  who have made and defined this art form. Provocative and enlightening by turns, this is a major book for anyone who wants to know more about one of the most important art forms of the 21st century.

Italy Segreta: How Italy Feels is a stunning, photo-forward guide to Italy that aims to break through the homogenization of the country’s narrative to harness the true experience of Italy, region by region. 
 
Each chapter is dedicated to one of Italy’s 20 regions, shot by one photographer who is based in that respective region, with additional secret gem travel information from the Italy Segreta team. Moving the spotlight from the over-circulated images of places like Amalfi and Cinque Terre, readers will be introduced to lesser-known but equally beautiful regions like Marche and Molise through the intimate lens and recommendations of those who know it best. 
 
This book captures not only the beauty of the Italian peninsula, but the way everyone – whether locals or visitors – experience the country’s marvelously complex regions. Italy Segreta: How Italy Feels offers an escape into the light, sounds, smells and feelings of Italy straight from your coffee table.
