With a no holds barred account of his life as a working photographer and business innovator, he tells of covering world-beating sporting successes and occasional failures, and of how he built the Allsport Photographic agency into an industry leader that made him a millionaire."The authors' experiences are so vast and often outrageous that it's easy to forget that this is a true story." L Lemay.He has worked with everyone from world beating powerboat racers to Olympic greats such as Seb Coe and Daley Thompson.

Focuses on the cultural, philosophical, political, and scholarly uses of "e;orientalism"e; in the German-speaking and Central and Eastern European worlds from the late eighteenth century to the present day.The concept and study of orientalism in Western culture gained a changed understanding from Edward Said's now iconic 1978 book Orientalism. However, recent debate has moved beyond Said's definition of the phenomenon, highlighting the multiple forms of orientalism within the "e;West,"e; the manifold presence of the "e;East"e; in the Western world, indeed the epistemological fragility of the ideas of "e;Occident"e; and "e;Orient"e; as such. This volume focuses on the deployment -- here the cultural, philosophical, political, and scholarly uses -- of "e;orientalism"e; in the German-speaking and Central and Eastern European worlds from the late eighteenth century to the present day. Its interdisciplinary approach combines distinguished contributions by Indian scholars, who approach the topic of orientalism through the prism of German studies as practiced in Asia, with representative chapters by senior German, Austrian,and English-speaking scholars working at the intersection of German and oriental studies.
