Bridport is an industrial market town on the west Dorset coast which has played a pivotal role in the region's hemp and flax industry for over 700 years.

Hailed by the poet and architectural historian Sir John Betjeman as 'a genius at photography', Edwin Smith (1912-1971) was one of Britain's foremost photographers.

North Warning System is Donovan Wylie's third and final book of photographs on the themes of vision and power in military architecture, and draws a close to his Tower Series.

The development of long-range bombers and missiles after the Second World War made Canada's arctic frontier vulnerable to attack from the air. This forced Canada and the United States to jointly construct a matrix of short and long-range radar...

The early settlers of Savannah built their houses around a geometric street plan on a bluff above the Savannah River.

All You Can Lose Is Your Heart
ISBN: 9783868286113 / Angielski / Twarda / 120 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. KayLynn Deveney's photographs explore "Cinderella-style" homes built throughout the American Southwest in the 1950s and '60s, when developers applied fairy tale-style aesthetics to ranch house exteriors. This book, the first time these houses are subject of a published photographic work, highlights personalized details outside the home resulting in photographs that reach beyond description to become metaphorical family portraits of those living inside. It tells us about a fading vision of the American dream, the last indications of a zeitgeist that encouraged Americans to aspire to a...

The Birth of Bourbon: A Photographic Tour of Early Distilleries
ISBN: 9780813165547 / Angielski / Twarda / 232 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Whiskey making has been an integral part of American history since frontier times. In Kentucky, early settlers brought stills to preserve grain, and they soon found that the limestone-filtered water and the unique climate of the scenic Bluegrass region made it an ideal place for the production of barrel-aged liquor. And so, bourbon whiskey was born. More than two hundred commercial distilleries were operating in Kentucky before Prohibition, but only sixty-one reopened after its repeal in 1933. As the popularity of America's native spirit increases worldwide, many historic... Whiskey making has been an integral part of American history since frontier times.

Lynn Saville: Dark City
ISBN: 9788862084116 / Angielski / Twarda / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Arthur Danto has described Lynn Saville as New York's answer to Eugene Atget, because she -prowls her city at the other end of the day, picking up pieces of the past in the present, just before it is swallowed by shadows.- For her new monograph, Dark City, Saville focused on vacant spaces--shuttered storefronts, back alleys, blank billboards, empty lots--with the occasional ghostly figure hurrying through the frame. Working at twilight and dawn with a medium-format camera (setting up her tripod quickly so as not to attract police attention), Saville captured busy city streets...
