Terra Incognita is a collection of black and white large format images of various aspects, grand and minute, of the North American landscape. This work establishes Steve Mulligan as a true heir to the mantle of Ansel Adams, Minor White, and other luminaries of the "black and white" photographic medium. Mulligan is able to see what most of us cannot, and is able to translate that perception into images of light, shadows, and darkness which touch the soul and heart as well as the eyes. Experience this book!!

Stephen Mayes has compiled an amazing array of photographs by some of the finest photojournalists today. Accompanied by essays and comments by photographers such as Sebastiao Salgado and various press agencies, the book contains hundreds of compelling and provoking images taken within the past 40 years. Definitely a great book for any photography enthusiasts.

If you have ever wanted to visit Egypt, but never had the money or the chance, this book is for you. Through it's stunning photographs and rich text, the author takes you on a mental voyage through Egypt. Never have I felt so in touch with a place as when I was reading this book. Packed with educational value and brimming with facts, this book led me through a journey that I have again and again taken in my mind and in my dreams. The combination of Guy Marks's words and James Morris's pictures tempt the mind and the soul to wander the globe in search of the ancient histories of this fascinating place. I reccomend this book to all who have dreamed of Egypt and even to those who haven't, to open their minds to a new place in the world.

This book is stunningly simple and beautiful. Davidson's photographs capture the essence of the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Each photograph tells a story and is worth pondering. The publisher did a great job reproducing the images. If the topic interests you, this is a "must have" collection of photographs by one of the great photographers of our time.

As a famous photographer once stated, photography is aligning the mind, the heart and sight. Scrolling through Modotti's photographs, one feels that she goes beyond by reflecting her passion in her work. This book is an invaluable source portraying Mexican communist art with a flavour of Tina's very special passion.

Tracey Moffatt: Fever Pitch is the correct title, not just Fever Pitc

Andrea Liss is a professor of mine and I have to say that this book is excellent!!!! She has an amazing way of making the reader really think about this subject in a whole new way. It is VERY moving to go through the pages, reading true stories. I HIGHLY recommend this title to anyone interested in the Holocaust.

A fascinating collection of two hundred large, one to a page, photos capturing the fifties. The photos are divided into five sections and each picture has a caption and credit taken from the back of the print. Page sixteen shows the back of a photo from 1953 taken in Berlin and it is a mess of crossed out picture sizes, pasted on captions, five in all, and rubber stamps, this photo has been used at least six times over the years.

I was pleased to see that most of these photos can be viewed not just as historical news images but as well crafted compositions. So many photos that we see on a daily basis (especially in the media) are purely for the moment and lack any real creative input but the ones in this book encourage you to linger and think about what the photos are saying.

Apart from the two hundred pictures there are three essays, Douglas Dreishpoon's on the background to the Times Picture Desk is particularly interesting, a twenty-one page time-line to the fifties, bibliography and index. The elegant layout and excellent printing make this book a good addition to the library of anyone interested in the recent past.

The book is published in conjunction with an exhibition of the photos that is travelling around the Nation between now and 2004

Another book of photos from the paper is 'Pictures of the Times' by Peter Galassi and Susan Kismaric, this has 154 photos covering the last century and is equally as good as 'The Tumultuous Fifties'. Both books rightly conclude that The New York Times is the world's premier daily.

To own "Under Ephemeral Light" is to give yourself a gift. Besides the beautifully mastered images in this exquisite book, Juan Collignon Hoff shares with us his ethereal interpretation of the human spirit. The CD that accompanies the book, is, in itself, a wonderful visual journey. This is one of the most alluring works of art to come along in a long time.....Allejandra
