Join one of the foremost polar explorers of our generation on transcontinental crossings of each polar cap as never before seen—and maybe never seen again.

With his unrivaled photography taken during transcontinental crossings of each polar cap, Sebastian Copeland transports us to the ends of the earth and invites us into his expeditions.

With his expedition partner, Copeland spent forty-three days crossing the Greenland ice sheet without outside support. In the process, he set a new world record for the longest distance traveled on kites and skis, covering 370 miles over one twenty-four-hour period. With the same partner, Copeland led the first east-to-west transcontinental crossing of Antarctica by skis and kites via two of its poles, setting three world records over the 2,500-mile, eighty-four-day expedition.

These polar regions are also the bellwether of the impacts of climate change, and Copeland’s stunning images galvanize our awareness of the threats of global warming and the need for conservation.

In the far east of France, close to the German and Swiss borders, lies the historic city of Mulhouse. During the early 19th century, it became one of the leading centres of textile manufacture in the country. Today it is home to the Musée de l’Impression sur Étoffes, a museum dedicated entirely to the history of fabric printing from the 17th century right up to the present day.

Few are the serious fashion designers who have not come to visit this astonishing temple to textiles. This book, however, gives you the key to those vaults, presenting on its broad pages perfectly captured images of its collections that span four different continents – recounting a fascinating artistic and technological adventure across the world, from its origins in India to the most contemporary creations.

Across two volumes, you’ll discover nine luxuriantly illustrated chapters that being to glorious life a chronological and thematic overview of the Musée’s unprecedented retrospective of the art of printed fabrics. And that journey begins in India, with the first volume devoted to the far east origins of the designs that made these prints famous, and how they came over to the factories of Europe. You’ll also find here stories and images detailing artistic innovations such as toile de Jouy and the development of new colour ranges.

It's newly woven in the Turkish tradition, referencing a Turkish word meaning wheat. Weavers use a special technique to produce raised wheat reliefs typically used in these buğdaylı kilims. In addition, this kilim is woven with finer spun wool than my standard production, giving it a thinner profile while allowing the weaver to make more intricate patterns and graceful curves.

At the end of the 17th century and beginning of the 18th, Rachel Ruysch was celebrated across Europe for her sumptuous floral still lifes, admired both for their artistry and for their accurate depictions of flowers, fruit and insects. Often placed on stone ledges and against dark backgrounds, her sumptuous bouquets seem to spill over with all manner of colorful flowers and plants, as bees and butterflies flit to and from their petals. Ruysch’s star faded after the close of the Dutch Golden Age, but late 20th- and early 21st-century interest in women artists has returned her to the forefront of the art historical canon.

Nature into Art introduces today’s audiences to Ruysch’s achievements while also exploring the pioneering role of women artists and scientists in the Dutch Republic in the 17th and 18th centuries. Brilliantly illustrated with detailed reproductions of Ruysch’s intricate paintings, the essays touch upon Ruysch’s career and her immediate legacy while also widening their scope to consider the role of botany in the early modern era and the storied tradition of botanical illustration. The catalog also includes an index of the various flora and fauna depicted within Ruysch’s work, which feature both native and nonnative species.

Rachel Ruysch (1664–1750) produced hundreds of the floral still lifes for which she is best known. She was an apprentice in the studio of Willem van Aelst and the daughter of famed scientist Frederick Ruysch, meaning she had access to a wider world of Dutch flower painters and botanists. From 1708 until 1716 she served as court painter to Johann Wilhelm, Elector Palatine.
