Ernest Cole: The True America
The first publication of photographs taken by Ernest Cole in the United States during the turbulent and eventful late 1960s and early 1970s After fleeing South Africa to publish his landmark book House of Bondage (1967) on the horrors of apartheid, Cole resettled in New York. He photographed extensively on the streets of New York City and documented Black communities in cities and rural areas of the United States--traveling across the country in the months leading up to and just after the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The pictures reflect both a newfound freedom Cole experienced in America and an incisive eye for the inequalities of systemic racism. He released very few images from this body of work while he was alive, and the pictures were thought to be lost entirely until the negatives resurfaced in Sweden in 2017. This treasure trove provides an important window into American society and establishes Cole's place in the history of American photography.
Atomic Realm
Greetings from the Atomic Realm, an amazing voyage inside the complex web of matter's basic building blocks. Discovering the mysteries behind the fundamental elements of existence, we dig into the microscopic landscapes that form the very fabric of our universe in this engrossing investigation. The atom is the smallest unit of matter with infinite significance and the center of the Atomic Realm. This is where protons, neutrons, and electrons perform their complicated dance, creating the soundscape of life. These minuscule particles, subject to the principles of quantum physics, form the complex network of matter that characterizes our material world. The fascinating diversity of the Atomic Realm is revealed as we delve deeper. Each element has a distinct atomic structure, which enables it to produce the kaleidoscope of compounds that make up our world. The periodic table serves as a guide for us as we navigate the multiplicity of elements, from the simplicity of hydrogen to the intricacy of uranium. The Atomic Realm is a dynamic environment that undergoes continuous change and metamorphosis rather than being a static landscape. Observe the atoms' throbbing energy, which propels the chemical reactions that shape our surroundings. Discover the processes that combine atoms to form molecules and create the vast variety of compounds that make up everything from the air we breathe to the oceans that envelop our globe. But the adventure doesn't stop there. We are invited to explore the core of stars through The Atomic Realm, where nuclear fusion transforms elements and releases the energy that powers the universe. Admire the cosmic alchemy that, since the beginning of time, has molded the universe. Science and wonder blend together in the Atomic Realm to show a realm full of boundless possibilities but guided by exact laws. Come along on this journey where the secrets of matter reveal themselves and the atomic world's beauty invites you to reflect on the fundamental nature of reality itself.

Here it is at last: The long-awaited much-ANTicipated sequel and companion book to "Histrees - Boabgraphies." This time, Jill has branched out from the boabs to become obsessed with anthills and their inhabitANTS, especially the amazing termite structures built in northern Australia. She has been pretending to be a Myr-mecologist, which is a person who studies ants, not murmuring. Even the most amanteur of antomologists will be offended that I have included termites, otherwise known as white ants, under the heading of ants. That is because these creatures are not actually any kind of ant, but their anciant group of insects is most closely related to cockroaches. (Do I hear a united "Yuuuukk?") But let's face it, it is more difficult to make puns with the word 'termite.'

Through The Lens
Essays and reviews od photographers by Marina Vaizey include Cecil Beaton, David Bailey, Thomas Struth, Juergen Teller, Francesca Woodman, Minor White; Don McCullin; Camille Silvy; Horst, Gillian Wearing and E.O.Hopp矇. Photography being a medium that can be reproduced and which often exists only to be reproduced lends itself potently to publication. Oddly the 'original' even in many print iterations, when seen in terms of scale, texture and tone can surpass even the finest photographic reproduction of a photograph. Even so the joys of having a retrospective in the hand, accompanied by captions, essays, explanations, are many, and in some ways the best way of having an introduction to the work, and also providing the most easily accessible route to knowledge - and appreciation.

La Lunga Strada Di Sabbia
Paolo Di PaoloThe extraordinary illustrated book "La lunga strada di sabbia" is the unprecedented documentation of a travel reportage by the writer and later director Pier Paolo Pasolini and the photographer Paolo Di Paolo. The two men are still young in the summer of 1959, just 37 and 34 years old, and set out together to document Italian summer holidays on behalf of Arturo Tofanelli, editor-in-chief of the monthly magazine Successo and the weekly Tempo. The two, who had never met before, travel south along the coast from Ventimiglia to Trieste. While Pasolini, the writer, is looking for a world of lost literary ghosts, Di Paolo wants to depict an Italy that looks to the future. The title "La lunga strada di sabbia", which translates as "The long road of sand", also comes from him. It is precisely these contrasting approaches that will later give this travel reportage its very special significance as a witness to this era.The Coffee Table Book is a unique insight into a rediscovered documentary photo archive.

Everything becomes tangible, the fashion of the time, everyday life, even the prevailing mood can be guessed. A great work for all those interested in history and Italy. 200 black-and-white photographs on 256 pages take the reader into a past Italy that is on the threshold between hope and fear, future and past.Text in English, German and Italian.

Viewing Photography in Post-Dictatorship Latin America
This book examines the archival aesthetic of mourning and memory developed by Latin American artists and photographers between 1997-2016. Particular attention is paid to how photographs of the assassinated or disappeared political dissident of the 1970s and 1980s, as found in family albums and in official archives, were not only re-imagined as conduits for private mourning, but also became allegories of social trauma and the struggle against socio-political amnesia. Memorials, art installations, photo-essays, street projections, and documentary films are all considered as media for the reframing of these archival images from the era of the Cold War dictatorships in Argentina, Chile, Guatemala, and Uruguay. While the turn of the millennium was supposedly marked by "the end of history" and, with the advent of digital technologies, by "the end of photography," these works served to interrupt and hence, belie the dominant narrative on both counts. Indeed, the book's overarching contention is that the viewer's affective identification with distant suffering when engaging these artworks is equally interrupted: instead, the viewer is invited to apprehend memorial images as emblems of national and international histories of ideological struggle.

Etc
As an artist myself, I have always observed art as a manifestation of human culture. Just as culture varies significantly from one society to the other with a little shift in geography, even in our own country, so does art in its different forms and uniqueness. Thus the three entities are deeply inter-linked to each other. Through my sketches, I have tried to portray realistic flavors of a few sections of the society in different parts of India. My work will be successful only when it is capable to strike a chord with the emotional quotient of my readers. Being a son of the soil to the ""Cultural Capital"" of India, Kolkata is woven around my soul. That is why my readers may find proportionately more anecdotes in and around the 'City of Joy'. -Indranil Mukherjee

The two rivers in the title refer to the Mekong River in Vietnam and the Mississippi River in the southern United States, two important geographic locations that appear in the artist's photography from her earliest to her most recent works. An essay by curator Roxana Marcoci examines the full sweep of L礙's creative practice; essays by scholars La Frances Hui, Joan Kee, Thy Phu and Caitlin Ryan each focus on specific series; and two texts by writers Monique Truong and Ocean Vuong bring poetic sensibility to L礙's singular perspective.An-My L礙 (born 1960) was born in Saigon, Vietnam, and came to the US in 1975 as a political refugee after the fall of Saigon. She studied at Stanford University before attending Yale School of Art, receiving her MFA in 1993. Her previous publications include Small Wars (2005) and Events Ashore (2014), and she is the recipient of the Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship (1997) and the MacArthur Foundation Fellowship (2012). L礙 teaches at Bard College and lives in Brooklyn, New York.
The Power of Gratitude
An attitude of gratitude, which is both simple and profound, may change people and the way they see the world. It's the state of mind when you're grateful for others and ready to express your thanks and pay it forward. In a world where difficulties and unknowns are the norm, the idea of appreciation shines like a beacon, showing us the way to happiness and peace of mind. This essay examines the heart of thankfulness, from its historical roots to the numerous ways in which gratitude can increase one's sense of well-being. How Thankfulness BeganAncient philosophical and theological traditions are the source of the concept of appreciation. Almost all of the world's main faiths stress the value of gratitude. Numerous Bible texts emphasize the value of gratitude, making it a core Christian virtue. Muslims are commanded in the Quran to thank Allah continually. Gratitude is a central tenet of spirituality in both Hinduism and Buddhism. Stoicism and Confucianism, to name just two philosophical traditions, have long praised the benefits of thankfulness outside of religious contexts. The Stoics believed that practicing thankfulness was the key to finding happiness and staying strong in the face of misfortune. Confucius wrote extensively on the role of thankfulness in fostering community and preserving peace. The responsibilities of work, relationships, and personal ambitions often push thankfulness to the sidelines in today's fast-paced world. However, practicing thankfulness on a regular basis can have profound consequences on one's emotional and physical health.
Carved in Stone
Evocative photographs and essay illuminate early American gravestonesGravestones are colonial America's earliest sculpture and they provide a unique physical link to the European people who settled here. Carved in Stone book is an elegant collection of over 80 fine duotone photographs, each a personal meditation on an old stone carving, and on New England's past, where these stones tell stories about death at sea, epidemics such as small pox, the loss of children, and a grim view of the afterlife. The essay is a graceful narrative that explores a long personal involvement with the stones and their placement in New England landscape, and attempts to trace the curious and imperfectly documented story of carvers. Brief quotes from early New England writers accompany the images, and captions provide basic information about each stone. These meditative portraits present an intimate view of figures from New England graveyards and will be enjoyed by anyone with an interest in early Americana and fine art photography.

Frontiers
FRONTIERS: WILD, SEMI-WILD, HUMAN.... A photographic Novel, is a book of photographs I have taken or worked on over a period of 6 years from 2012 to 2017. I love the concept of writing a novel through photography and that's why I called this book of photographs a photographic novel, for there is a strong narrative dimension in these photographs that creates visual literature. And this narrative link, for a good part, points to the content in the images. They are three countries where I took these photos from; Mozambique, Zimbabwe and South Africa, three neighbours who share borders, languages, cultures, fauna, flora, etc, joined by a bond as old as creation, itself. I decided to work from the wild, to the semi wild, to human, exploring frontiers in these worlds, juxtaposing these worlds, one against the other or all three together in a photo, sometimes obsessively focusing on a single spot, repetitively creating different story strands from that one place, and then combine photography with other visual art medias like painting and drawing thus creating entirely different artworks. It is the essence of my work, to operate at the limit between natural and human landscapes, reality and fiction, nature and humanity, by bestowing an actual dimension to the utopian. The photographs are a celebration of this.Tendai Rinos Mwanaka is a multidisciplinary artist, editor, publisher and producer with 26 individual books and over 27 curated anthologies published in the US, Northern Ireland, UK, Cameroon and Zimbabwe. He has 3 music albums playing in at least 18 radio stations in the US, Canada, UK, France, Israel, Brazil and Australia and hundreds of paintings and drawings, thousands of photographs, some exhibited, published and sold. His art pieces have appeared in over 400 journals in over 35 countries and his books and writing are translated into at least 11 languages.

As We See It
In As We See It, Suzanne Newman Fricke invites readers to explore the work and careers of ten contemporary Native American photographers: Jamison Banks, Anna Hoover, Tom Jones, Larry McNeil, Shelley Niro, Wendy Red Star, Beverly Singer, Matika Wilber, William Wilson, and Tiffiney Yazzie. Inspired by As We See It, an exhibition of these artists' work cocurated by Fricke in 2015, the book showcases the extraordinary achievements of these groundbreaking photographers. As We See It presents dialogues in which the artists share their unique perspectives about the history and current state of photography. Each chapter includes an overview of the photographer's career as well as examples of the artist's work. For added context, Fricke includes an introduction, a preface that explores the original exhibition of the same name, and an essay that challenges the ghost of Edward S. Curtis, whose work serves as a counterpoint to the photography of contemporary Native Americans. The text is designed to be read as a whole or in sections for anyone teaching Native American photography. As We See It is an invaluable addition to the library of anyone interested in Native American photography and will be the key source for teachers, researchers, and lovers of photography for years to come.
