Book SynopsisWithin the pages of this book you will see how cement structures, intended for barriers, are transformed into pictorial walls that identify military units and honor service members who gave their lives for freedom in the Gulf War. They provide an esprit de corps for their unit members who are forward deployed from their home base, post, or camp. The unit colors and insignias displayed on these walls become the thoughts and memories of the men and women who have fought, and for those who have died for freedom. Memorial walls proclaim in silence the ultimate sacrifice of service. This artwork represents Coalition Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, Marines, Coast Guard, and D.O.D. Civilians who answered the call of freedom and deployed far from home and family. When these walls decay and are turned to rubble, this book will become a lasting legacy to those who have served in Kuwait and Iraq.

Schiffer Publishing Ltd Blues Hands
Book SynopsisGreat joy, great sorrow; gradations of emotion, all expressed in the service of music. Conveys the strength, beauty, diversity and depth of blues music—hands tell a story.Trade ReviewMany books have been published over the years pictorially depicting blues artists at work and play. So you might well ask, what is different about Blues Hands that would make you buy another? The clue is in the title. All musicians need hands to play and often vocalists too, to visually amplify aspects of the lyrics. The book opens with a quote from Willie Dixon; The Blues is the roots, everything else is the fruits. So here are some of the fruits in a unique perspective from the camera of Joe Rosen, drawn from over thirty years of covering the American blues scene. What lifts a photograph from a mere visual recording of a subject to an art form is the skill of the photographer. Inherent in that skill is a passionate interest and understanding of the subject matter and the technical abilities to fulfil it in the final print. Joe has it all in spades. Until you come across a book of this nature you dont realise how hands are as unique as faces and often reflect the character and experiences of the owners, especially those of the older generation. The photographs are enhanced towards the back of the book by potted histories of the artists careers to date and in some cases eulogies, drawn from Joes knowledge of them. Youll want this one on your bookshelf. - Mike Owens, Blues Matters June 2016

Schiffer Publishing Ltd Hollywood Celebrates the Holidays
Book SynopsisRare promotional photos of stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood posing for holiday-themed images Marvelously illustrated with more than 200 rare images from the silent era through the 1970s, this joyous treasure trove features film and television's most famous actors and actresses celebrating the holidays, big and small, in lavishly produced photographs ranging from high art to kitsch. Join the stars for festive fun in celebrating a variety of holidays, from New Year's to Saint Patrick's Day to Christmas and everything in between. Legends such as Elizabeth Taylor, Joan Crawford, Judy Garland, and Audrey Hepburn spread holiday cheer throughout the calendar year in iconic, ironic, and illustrious style. These images, taken by legendary stills photographers, hearken back to the Golden Age of Hollywood, when motion picture studios devised elaborate publicity campaigns to promote their stars and to keep their names and faces in front of the movie-going public all year round.Trade ReviewKultguys Keep website featured an extensive review of this title in February 2016. "A nostalgic treasure trove from cinemas Golden Age... The books authors, Mary Mallory and Karie Bible, have given each picture a lively caption that evokes the advertorial style that was commonplace in vintage magazines like Photoplay and Modern Screen. Its makes for a fun read, while the short bios provide some valuable trivia that movie buffs will lap up."Each page of the book is crammed with glossy black and white and colour photographs with more stars than in the heavens as the old MGM adage goes, each page celebrating holidays beginning with New Year through to Christmas and everything in between including St. Patricks Day and 4th July, each represented by a separate chapter. What is clear is how twisted, bizarre and surreal some of these images are such as the smiling but sadistic Thanksgiving images silent star Mary Philbin sharpening her blade in front of a giant turkey. Few of these pictures, no matter how beautifully composed or shot are anything short of disturbed and at the very least kitsch. Rich in imagery but less in text this perfect coffee table is a nice soak to the brain. - Chris Hick Filmwerk.co.uk March 2016

How did the infrastructure come about to enable the delicate business of building and deploying so many bombs?

Rizzoli We Protest Fighting for What We Believe in
Book SynopsisA call to action--inspiring citizens to stand up and fight for social justice in our nation.In the last few years we have seen a wave of activism wash across our nation and inspire unprecedented protest and civic engagement. People came together in record-breaking numbers, outspoken and persistent. With the winds of resistance at their backs, people linked arms and set out to defend our freedoms and each other.Photojournalist Tish Lampert captures the spirit of the heroes and ordinary citizens on their activist journey to defend their American values during the most conflicted era in our recent history. The book charts the chronology of social-change movements that have dominated the headlines over the past several years: the fight for women's rights and gender equality, immigration rights, civil liberties, gun violence, and the environment. Lampert takes us to the front lines of activism, where she has documented each protest and their respective leaders, as welTrade Review"We Protest: Fighting For What We Believe In is a powerful reminder that our necessary and continued growth as a people relies on the hope, strength, and courage of a single voice that when echoed and heralded by another and another and another, ignites the spirit of Americanism and creates change." —Producer and Actor, Michael Douglas“Tish Lampert’s We Protest inspires. Its subtitle is FIGHTING FOR WHAT WE BELIEVE IN, and the inspiring pictures of caring faces coupled with insightful words express a beautiful spirit behind the "fight.". Enrique Morones statement, "Love is an action, not just a word," captures aptly the message of this unique book which is an invitation to join together for justice, peace, and, for the boldest word of all, for love. “ --Jonathan Granoff, President Global Security Institute "America was founded on protest. Protest is literally part of our DNA, and in a moment when justice, freedom and democracy themselves are imperiled, remembering “the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances” seems more important now than at any time in the last 50 years. Tish Lampert has captured what “fighting for what we believe in” in America looks like, in her timeless, yet eminently timely and beautiful book, “We Protest.” --Ali Velshi - MSNBC, Journalist, Anchor and Producer "We Protest..." shows us the power of community and ensures that those who have been frontline peace and justice builders will inspire us in the present and shape future commitments with their eloquent, multifaceted, and brave truths. There is nothing more important. These insightful and beautiful images tear the apathy away and compel us to stretch upward and be better upstanders. Maya Soetoro- Ng ( Founder and COO of The Peace Studio and Barack Obama's sister ) “One of the things that is great about this book is that it carries you along in a universe of hope and commitment to the highest ideals of the nation. The photographs are so powerful, the faces are so moving. It’s a Remarkable history of this time, something that you will keep forever and show your children and grandchildren down to generations. It really crystalizes the moment.” –Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and author David Shipler
