In Driftless, Danny Wilcox Frazier's dramatic black-and-white photographs portray a changing Midwest of vanishing towns and transformed landscapes. As rural economies fail, people, resources, and services are migrating to the coasts and cities, as though the heart of America were being emptied. Frazier's arresting photographs take us into Iowa's abandoned places and illuminate the lives of those people who stay behind and continue to live there: young people at...

Millions of people visit aquariums each year. These showplaces are invaluable educational tools and, more importantly, provide a window into a mysterious world that few of us will ever experience firsthand. But that world is increasingly threatened by human misuse--by pollution, over-fishing, global warming. Accompanying the waste and devastation is a global trend toward building bigger, more fantastic aquariums. Marvels of architecture and engineering, these artificial oceans seem to be our way of preserving the sea even as we destroy it.

"Every city has its own textures, its own special relationship to land and water, its own light, its own night. Cleveland's history-haunted, labor-encrusted, smoke-grimed nights is a place as varied in texture as any in America. It echoes in the interior darkness of the camera lens during lonely, leisurely hours as Levy wanders the city. Levy's photos seek realities that can spark some recognition at a subconscious level, a combination of eye and time and device that suddenly, sometimes, generates a new type of seeing."--Douglas Max Utter, Foreword

From hand-rendered folk signs to high-dollar church marquees, religious messages and imagery saturate the landscape of the American South. In With Signs Following, photographer and southern studies scholar Joe York introduces readers to the role of artistic, witty advertising in southern churches. In seventy black-and-white images of religious signs and other ephemera, he simultaneously presents the factual while encouraging reflection and introspection.

Though York's pictures speak volumes, With Signs Following features an equally compelling essay by York. This piece...

Hotel Seventeen on Manhattan's 17th Street is one of the more affordable hotels in New York City, yet has gained cult status. Celebrities use it as a backdrop for photo shoots and film scenes but it is the young actors, designers, models, film college students, punk and rock musicians and drag queens who stay there as they chase their dreams of fame in the Big Apple.

Stunning photographic portraits of animals--turtles, lions, alligators, giraffes etc. These are 'individuals' not examples of a species. The photographs seem almost to be portrait paintings, an effect achieved by using one of the very early photographic printing techniques. Each image becomes a unique one-off picture. Winner of The European Publishers Award for Photography 2000.
