ISBN: 9780226114125 / Angielski / Miękka / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. This volume presents for the first time the selected photographs of the renowned British anthropologist Isaac Schapera (1905 2003). Taken between 1929 and 1934, largely during his earliest work among the Kgatla peoples of Bechuanaland (now Botswana), the 136 images in this selection reveal an emotional engagement and aesthetic impulse that Schapera seldom expressed in his writings.

South Street
ISBN: 9780231139328 / Angielski / Twarda / 192 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. South Street is Barbara G. Mensch's evocative tribute to the lost world of Lower Manhattan's Fulton Fish Market. For more than a century, a colorful, tightly knit community of fishmongers, many of them recent immigrants and children of immigrants, thrived under the base of the Brooklyn Bridge. Resistant to government regulations and corporate encroachment, these men lived in a closed, internally policed world that was deeply hostile to outsiders. As a young photographer in the early 1980s, Mensch bonded with this particular group of "authentic New Yorkers," becoming a confidante...

Captive Beauty
ISBN: 9780252071690 / Angielski / Miękka / 136 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. Captivating photos which look into the heart of zoo animals. Proceeds of the book go to the Jane Goodall Institute. The fifty color photographs in Frank Noelker's Captive Beauty are not simple, uncomplicated shots of animals in zoo settings; there is an ambivalence in them that only gradually envelops the viewer. Their sad, stark beauty confronts viewers, challenging them to consider the nature, purpose, and effects of zoos. Captive Beauty includes a short epigraph by the photographer.

Over the past twenty-five years, the internationally renowned Canadian photographer Edward Burtynsky has been an explorer of unfamiliar places where human activity has reshaped the surface of the land. His astonishing large-scale color photographs of the landscapes of mining, quarrying, railcutting, recycling, oil refining, and shipbreaking uncover a stark, almost sublime beauty in the residue of industrial "progress."

Crowns: Portraits of Black Women in Church Hats
ISBN: 9780385500869 / Angielski / Twarda / 224 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-20 dni roboczych. Countless black women would rather attend church naked than hatless. For these women, a church hat, flamboyant as it may be, is no mere fashion accessory; it's a cherished African American custom, one observed with boundless passion by black women of various religious denominations. A woman's hat speaks long before its wearer utters a word. It's what Deirdre Guion calls -hattitude...there's a little more strut in your carriage when you wear a nice hat. There's something special about you.- If a hat says a lot about a person, it says even more about a people-the customs they observe, the...

Andre Kertesz : The Polaroids
ISBN: 9780393065640 / Angielski / Twarda / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22-25 dni roboczych. Here Kertesz dips into his reserves one last time, tapping new people, ideas, and tools to generate a whole new body of work through which he transforms from a broken man into a youthful artist. Taken in his apartment just north of New York City's Washington Square, many of these photographs were shot either from his window or in the windowsill. We see a fertile mind at work, combining personal objects into striking still lifes set against cityscape backgrounds, reflected and transformed in glass surfaces. Almost entirely unpublished work, these photographs are a testament to the genius of...

Water Music
ISBN: 9780472113385 / Angielski / Twarda / 208 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. A photography book with a social conscience, Water Music affirms the intimate connection of water to the rhythms of our lives-and how it is something to be celebrated, revered, and preserved for today and for future generations. Water Music is first a tribute to the inspiration and magic of water. For photographer Marjorie Ryerson, a fascination with water grew from the challenge of capturing on film the astonishing breadth of ways in which water presents itself-the way, for instance, that Lake Superior at sunset turns from deep blue to gold, copper, blazing red, dusty pink,...

Photographing Farmworkers in California
ISBN: 9780804740920 / Angielski / Twarda / 360 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. As exploited and colonized people, California farmworkers have attracted such massive, overwhelming photographic scrutiny that today their story cannot be told, studied, or understood without engaging the photographic dimension. Although the work of Dorothea Lange and other photographers from the 1930s often comes to mind, virtually every photographer of consequence at some time, for some reason, photographed in the fields of the Golden State. This includes such unlikely twentieth-century artists as fashion photographer Richard Avedon and commercial photographer Max Yavno, along with the...

This handsome book captures in words and pictures the powerful emotions that circled around one man in Chicago in the early 1980's: Harold Washington. More than one hundred pictures, from candid shots on the campaign trail to triumphant public appearances, give readers a window onto a man who won over an entire city.

Angels in the Architecture : A Photographic Elegy to an American Asylum
ISBN: 9780814332122 / Angielski / Miękka / 212 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 25-30 dni roboczych. In the nineteenth century, perhaps no approach to mental illness was more compassionate than that of hospital administrator Thomas Story Kirkbride, whose asylum designs integrated beauty and nature as a method to treat patients. The Northern Michigan Asylum in Traverse City, Michigan, was one of the last of nearly two hundred such architecturally intriguing asylums. Founded in 1885 under the principle "beauty is therapy," the Northern Michigan Asylum closed in 1989 and today stands as a haunting reminder of this lost era. Angels in the Architecture is a photographic study of this...
