The marvelous dogs of Dougie Wallace

In his book entitled Well Heeled, photographer Dougie Wallace has turned his camera on man’s best friend and the strange world of pet “parents”. Dogs, and his pursuit of them, have taken him to London, Milan, New York and Tokyo. Their owners, often described as “extreme pet humanizers”, can spend as much on accessorizing and grooming their “offspring” as they would on themselves.
Dougie Wallace has used his observation and wit to portray this phenomenon in his new series.

About Life

Nor stony tower, nor walls of beaten brass,
 Nor airless dungeon, nor strong links of iron,
 Can be retentive to the strength of spirit;
 But life, being weary of these worldly bars,
Never lacks power to dismiss itself.

 Julius Cæsar (1599), Act I, scene 3, line 93.

 William Shakespeare, in his many plays, produced a vast number of quotes on the subject of life.

Slobodan Praljak has died after taking poison at war crimes court in The Hague.

Upon hearing that his 20-year prison sentence had been upheld, General Slobodan Praljak shouted at the presiding judge: "I, Slobodan Praljak, reject the verdict. I'm not a war criminal." Then he drank from a small bottle or flask and declared: "What I am drinking now is poison."
 The judge suspended the hearing and called for a doctor. The incident happened when the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) was handing down its last judgment in an appeal by six Bosnian Croat political and military leaders, who were convicted in 2013 of persecuting, expelling and murdering Bosnian Muslims during the 1992-1995 war.

The Art and Science of Ernst Haeckel

German biologist and artist Ernst Haeckel dedicated his life studying far flung flora and fauna, drawing each of their peculiar specificities with an immense scientific detail. Haeckel made hundreds of such renderings during his lifetime, works which were used to explain his biological discoveries to a wide audience. In addition to these visual masterpieces, Haeckel also discovered many microbes, and coined several scientific terms commonly known today, such as ecology, phylum, and stem cell. A new book from Taschen titled The Art and Science of Ernst Haeckel outlines the 19th-century artist-biologist’s most important visual works and publications across a hefty 704 pages.
