This book paints the story of a Western artist's discovery of authentic Mexico, encapsulating a journey away from narrow observations of the country's stereotypes- black and white films, cactus', cartels, and the jumping bean- towards a greater understanding of its significance in the social and geopolitical landscape. From the emergence of Mexican muralism in the immediate wake of the country's early 20th-century revolution to traditional customs that have survived and flourished amidst the country's progress. Rooney draws his inspiration from a myriad of spaces and places, permanently recording their significance in a book that can only be described as having a touch of eternal Mexico.

As London evolves into a Babylonian-style city of lofty towers, the artist Anna Keen was inspired to paint this metamorphosis, imagining its future townscape. While each new edifice heads to the heavens, the exposed entrails of these vast construction sites strangely resemble ruins. Keen’s large canvases are enriched with details stemming from her patient observation, on-the-spot sketches, and voyages around the city by helicopter, boat, road, and on foot. Like the eighteenth-century artist J. M. Gandy, who simultaneously painted London in ruins and in construction, Keen takes us just beneath the surface of the metropolis to where the emotional landscape lurks and shows us where the soul of London is heading. Internationally renowned London-based author and art historian Edward Lucie-Smith, who has followed Keen’s painting career since 1995, provides a foreword.
