The United Nations declared the year 2002 as "The Year of the Mountains" and encouraged countries all over the world to have environmental conferences regarding the conservation of mountains. The Conference for the Caribbean and the Americas was held in Cuba, and Clyde Butcher was invited to photograph the mountains of Cuba for the conference. He spent three weeks photographing from the Sierra Maestra of the east coast to the mogote region of the west coast--rain forests, waterfalls, and cliffs that drop off into a perfect ocean. The beauty and majesty of Cuba's natural landscape are captured in his intimate compositions, their focus on shape and light, the horizon and the sky.

Devised by Pirelli's London offices as an advertising tool, the Calendar was launched in 1963 in the United Kingdom as a special gift reserved for a privileged shortlist of customers, tire sellers, and garage owners. Although the idea was a takeoff on other automobile and product manufacturers' erotic pinup calendars, the subtlety of the Pirelli images, the close observation of trends in ideals of beauty, and the quality and creativity of Pirelli's photographers have made the limited-edition Calendar a paradigm of the genre and a coveted collector's item. This long-awaited volume contains all 24 Calendars published since 1964 - including the 1997 edition photographed by Richard Avedon - for a total of 264 full-color Calendar images. Twenty different photographers such as Sarah Moon, Joyce Tenneson, Peter Lindbergh, Herb Ritts, and Norman Parkinson have captured international ideals of human and natural beauty in Majorca, the Bahamas, Big Sur, Morocco, and in the studio. Notable outtakes from Calendars over the years are also revealed, providing a complete account of the thoughts behind the selection process and the intentions of the Calendar editors.
