WW Norton & Co Puppy Styled: Japanese Dog Grooming: Before &
Book SynopsisJapanese dog grooming does not follow the rules of traditional, breed- standard grooming. In fact, it only has one mission—to make dogs look as adorable as possible! With extreme attention to detail and careful consideration of a pup’s best attributes, Japanese dog groomers and salons achieve the perfect transformation by forgetting uniform looks and getting creative. From internationally acclaimed pet photographer and author of Waggish: Dogs Smiling for Dog Reasons comes this adorable book, which showcases the transformation of dogs going from cute to cutest. Originally a viral photo series called “Hairy,” Grace Chon’s work perfectly captures the whimsy and glamour of freshly groomed furry friends. With nearly 50 before- and- afters, Chon proves that Japanese dog grooming is not just a haircut, but a work of art.

HarperCollins Publishers Rome Then and Now® (Then and Now)
Book SynopsisA visual historical tour through all the great tourist locations of Rome, with vintage images paired with their modern-day equivalent in this compelling bilingual edition. Rome is ‘the eternal city’ and was a stopping-off place on the Grand Tour long before the days of photography. Despite the preservation of so many classic ruins across the city, there has been significant change. Over hundreds of years of flooding, the river Tiber deposited silt across the Forum and low-lying sites. Many archive images show a completely different ground level to the 21st century view, after excavation revealed their true height. When Mussoilini came to the power in 1922 he set about creating wider avenues and removing some of the older buildings, as can been from the changes to via della Conciliazione. Rome Then and Now visits all the major tourist locations in the city and shows pictures of how they once were, sometimes unfenced with goats grazing amongst the ruins! Sites include: St Peter's Square, Colosseum, Pantheon, Spanish Steps, Piazza del Popolo, the Forum, Trajan's Column, Trevi Fountain, Arch of Titus, Arch of Conatantine, Piazza Venezia, Piazza Navona, Quirinal Palace, Vittoriano, Tarpeian Hill, Palatine Hill, Circus Maximus.

Naval Institute Press HMS Belfast
Book Synopsis Building on the expertise of the authors and historians of the Naval Institute Press, the Naval History Special Editions are designed to offer studies of the key vessels, battles, and events of armed conflict. Using an image-heavy format, these special editions should appeal to scholars, enthusiasts, and general readers alike. This special edition covers HMS Belfast, a ship whose long and storied career began just before World War II and included numerous critical battles. During the war she chased down German battleships and, on 6 June 1944, participated in the largest amphibious landing the world had ever witnessed. HMS Belfast was among the first to fire on D-Day, and Winston Churchill himself had planned to be on board to witness the landings at Normandy until King George VI intervened. Years later Belfast would go on to hold the line during the crucial weeks when Korea’s future hung in the balance, and she subsequently survived long enough to become the largest museum ship in the United Kingdom. HMS Belfast remains the last of the “full-size” British cruisers, a designation that ended with her construction due to the restrictions imposed by the 2nd London Naval Treaty. In 1938, shortly after commissioning, Belfast’s career was nearly cut short when she was severely damaged by a German magnetic mine. However, because of her brand-new status she was granted a reprieve and underwent extensive repair work in drydocks. Her survival can largely be attributed to these repairs, which enhanced her unique capabilities. At the time of writing, HMS Belfast is due to see a namesake successor, in the form of a modern Type 26 frigate, enter service before the end of the decade.

MIT Press Ltd Gallup
Book SynopsisA poignant artistic collaboration, showing how history and mythology converge in the Navajo communities in and around Gallup, New Mexico.Taking a fresh approach to personal documentary, Gallup combines Roswell Angier’s photographs, Susan Hawley’s watercolor paintings, and both of their journal entries, as they explore the time they spent in Gallup, New Mexico in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Gallup is a place where histories and myths meet, and Angier and Hawley work through diverse media to portray a place where many versions of Native and American life have flowed together. They show that Gallup is both beautiful and difficult to know, in a way that reflects the long shadow of Native American disenfranchisement.Sober about social realities, Angier and Hawley nevertheless find lighthearted humor in the daily life of Gallup. They take us from the Navajo creation story to motels, from a rodeo to an inherited suitcase of Plains Indian artifacts

Dotson * ARLIS/NA Reviews *“With its emphasis on the often radical roles that black sitters and makers assumed in the history of photography, Pictures and Progress offers a bold approach to the study of American visual culture, one that places black agency at its center. Its intriguing and persuasive essays elucidate the importance of photography to the creation of free, black personhood in the 19th and early-20th centuries and reveal the myriad and sometimes surprising ways that such hands sought to wield “the pencil of nature” in an effort to assert self-possessed, and therefore revolutionary, subjectivities during an era in which the dominant culture preferred to represent them as otherwise.”—Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw, author of Portraits of a People: Picturing African Americans in the Nineteenth Century“[A] nuanced collection of essays. . . . that makes a significant contribution to our understanding of African Americans’ uses of photography in public dialogue by and about African Americans in the postemancipation era.” -- Tammy S.

Through its compelling essays, this work reframes the archive of images of death, beauty, and suffering of black subjects in photography.”—Deborah Willis, New York University“Pictures and Progress is a welcome addition to the growing scholarship on African American photography. The contributors have painstakingly revisited a moment in time when African Americans considered still-photography liberating.” -- Christopher P. Lehman * Biography *“[T]his volume… will appeal equally to historians of photography and of the United States.

He also shares experiences from behind the scenes playing for club and country, his most memorable career moments, moving to a new country without knowing the language, training drills he’s used over the years to hone his skills, and his daily life as a soccerTrade Review"Pulisic first won America’s hearts in that defeat in Trinidad in 2017, in which he scored a goal in a losing cause. After the game, he pulled his jersey over his teenage face and cried. In the foreword to 'Pulisic: My Journey So Far,' Daniel Melamud, a versatile sports writer, describes him as “the best player in the history of US soccer” (a view that few would dispute).

Museum of New Mexico Press Look Into My Eyes Nuevomexicanos Por Vida 8183
Book SynopsisThis book is a photographic documentation of Hispanic New Mexicans (Nuevomexicanos) taken between 1981-1983 in Albuquerque and Santa Fe and in several northern New Mexico villages. Kevin Bubriski, a New Englander, photographed people he met in their neighbourhoods, at weddings and fiestas, hanging out in parks and parades, in their cars, in front of churches, alone, together, young and old. Bubriski is invisible to us as he creates iconographic, and very personal, images in an age before selfies. Many of these photographs are timeless, while others seem to be from a time capsule of the early eighties in New Mexico. This collection will evoke nostalgia of the era and life in New Mexico back in the day. There is also universality about the images and time period that will appeal to wider audiences.

Printed Matter, Incorporated A Mistake Is A Beautiful Thing
Book SynopsisA Mistake Is A Beautiful Thing is published by Printed Matter in collaboration with LA-based Coloured Publishing. The new hardcover work is the latest from designer Yuri Ogita and artist Devin Troy Strother, and follows a companion installation by Coloured Publishing at Printed Matter earlier this year. The loosely organised collection of images taken both by and of Devin and Yuri offers an offhand perspective into the duo's daily life as artists and publishers. Accompanied by short and often humorous captions, the photographs (sometimes overlapping) are comprised of glimpses into studio life collages in progress, unhung paintings, spilled paint as well as other encountered objects book covers, plants, and many dime bags. The work moves indiscriminately through its recurring motifs to build on a dialog that is irreverent but assured, examining art and its references, cultural phenomena and the experience of being a person of color in the US.

Cambridge University Press Still Shakespeare and the Photography ofPerformance
Book SynopsisStill Shakespeare and the Photography of Performance examines the place of photography in the reception of the Shakespeare canon since the invention of the camera, looking at how photographic images have shaped perceptions of historicity, performance, and Shakespearean character, and how their dissemination has affected Shakespearean authority. Barnden reveals how photography has conditioned the reception of Shakespeare''s works in two key ways. Firstly, as a form of performance documentation, photographs shape the way individual performances are remembered and their positioning in relation to traditional and iconoclastic interpretations of the text. Secondly, photographs are vehicles of Shakespearean iconography, encouraging certain compositions and interpretations. Exploring both theatrical and staged art photographs, Still Shakespeare demonstrates the role of photography as a contributor to the calcification of Shakespearean quotation, advertising, and iconography, and to the attrition of the relationship between image and text whereby images become attached to narratives far beyond their original context.Trade Review'… Shakespeare and the Photography of Performance is a fascinating book for this photoshopping age … Still Shakespeare offers an enlightening and engaging introduction to the study of Shakespeare photography that should appeal to performance historians and theatre creators alike.'
