The remarkable story of Kiki McDonough, a leading female British designer, and her globally renowned jewellery, which is much loved by the Royal family, and worn by the modern woman.
Over forty years, Kiki has built a much-celebrated brand, designing a multitude of sought-after and timeless pieces. One of the first jewellery designers to popularise coloured gemstones outside of the big three (rubies, emeralds, and sapphires), Kiki creates jewellery with a multitude of beautiful colours which speak to the stylish modern woman. Her jewellery is frequently worn by HRH Catherine, Princess of Wales, while major pieces now form part of the modern jewellery collection at the V&A Museum, London.
This title looks back upon and celebrates Kiki’s business, her life, and her remarkable story. From her very first concession in a friend’s jewellery shop in 1985, to striking out on her own, navigating through the chaos of family life, and finally building her brand into the global success that it is today, Kiki’s story is as colourful and joyful as her jewellery.
• Over 200 photographs of fine jewellery
• Marks 40th anniversary of a leading female jewellery designer
• Major press campaign and events planned to accompany the launch of the book
• Female-founded and female-run globally renowned jewellery business
What Kiki McDonough has achieved in countless collections over forty years is nothing short of a triumph.

Our Frozen Planet is a sensational photographic exploration of the world of ice and snow, from oceans to ice sheets, glaciers to ice caves, and the stunning landscapes of the world’s major mountain ranges.
We live on a planet where up to a third of the land area is covered by snow and ice during the winter. This frozen world, known as the cryosphere, is captured in all its remarkable beauty by the spectacular photography within this book. Our Frozen Planet is a celebration of these frozen realms, inviting readers to embark upon a stunning photographic journey through the cryosphere.
However, this book also carries a stark warning: although the cryosphere represents a significant component of Planet Earth, it is rapidly declining in response to global warming. The next few generations of humanity will see unprecedented change in ice and snow cover. Now is the time to place on record the magical beauty of such areas.

Industrial Scars is the work of environmentalist and photographer, J Henry Fair, who brings our attentions to the tragic effects created by human impact on our planet.
Our ever-increasing demand for energy, rapidly changing eating habits and rampant consumerism are rapidly leading to the degradation of our planet. Industrial Scars reveals unseen views of the effects of such production on our environment, exposing the secrets from oil drilling, hydro-fracking and coal-ash waste, to large scale agricultural production and abandoned mining operations.
At first, his photographs are mesmerisingly beautiful: taken at bird’s eye perspective from a small plane, their shapes, colours and details give them an aesthetic quality that entrance and capture the imagination, yet concern and horror creep in on the realisation of the true reality of the subject.
Industrial Scars is a major tourning exhibition in Germany and the USA.
Industrial Scars is a vital collection, exposing the state of crumbling landscapes all too often kept from public eye.

PAPADAKIS produces award-winning, high quality, beautiful books on design, photography, science, nature, and the environment. Our books are exciting, authoritative, and innovative, created by authors who are experts in their fields.
I have met very few people with such a potential of creativity, such a high degree of publisher’s ethos, and so much energy put into her plans and visions into practice. Alexandra Papadakis’s books are beautiful, of stunning quality, and they bring clarity into a world which develops in rather mysterious ways. Papadakis books give insight, touch, and matter.
Armin Sinwell, Managing Director, Kosmos Books Verlag
Alexandra Papadakis has a distinct and talented publishing vision. She has cultivated and curated a list of authors that use the visual as a means of communication. Her versatility is apparent across her fine list at Papadakis, and her knowledge of the craftsmanship of book making adorns each page of every title.
Christie Henry, Director, Princeton University Press
Alexandra Papadakis is a gem, an author’s ally, an enthusiastic, highly engaged publisher with an impeccable eye for quality and detail. Mixing six years worth of my work with her wise, expert guidance and a willingness to take creative risks, she produced a stunning result. When other publishers balked at the idea that a book could blend artistic, surreal photography with scientific text, Alexandra saw that these elements enhanced rather than negated each other. It has been a true honour and joy to collaborate with her.
