Through endearing stories and stunningly intimate photography, Tales from Gombe provides an unparalled insight into their world.Trade Review"Stunning photos of Gombe chimpanzees...Anup Shah and Fiona Rogers provide an intimate insight into the world of chimpanzees." BBC Wildlife magazine; "An intimate and stunningly illustrated account...These animals have been the subject of intensive study ever since Jane Goodall first made their acquaintance in 1960, but surely no other cameras have lingered on them so lovingly...this is much more than another African coffee table book. The intensity of the images speaks volumes about the photographers' involvement with their subjects. The portraits, especially, have a Rembrandt-like depth, with every wrinkle and whisker steeped in meaning and emotion." Travel Africa magazine; "The social structure of these remarkable animals is documented in Tales from Gombe." New Scientist; "...a stunning new book documenting these extraordinary ape communities."

Book SynopsisWhen the use of Bill Haley''s Rock Around the Clock turned 1955''s Blackboard Jungle into a teen sensation and a box-office smash, it proved the opening shot in a cinematic and cultural revolution. Starting with Elvis Presley and the teensploitation films of the ''50s and ''60s, in Rock on Film award-winning author and former Rolling Stone editor Fred Goodman takes readers on a wide-ranging journey through film and pop history. Along the way, he measures the transformative impact of the mid-''60s landmarks A Hard Day''s Night and Dont Look Back and how they seeded an almost unbelievably broad genre of films made by increasingly ambitious musicians and filmmakers across the past seven decades.From the carefree to the complex, the mindless to the mind-bending, rock films have staked out their own turf by simultaneously celebrating innocence and challenging artistic and social conventions.

Saqi Books Keep Your Eye on the Wall
Book SynopsisKeep Your Eye on the Wall brings together seven award-winning artist-photographers and four essayists, all responding to the Wall that suurounds Gaza in images or words. A beautifully packaged book published in a concertina format, with a foreword from Raja ShehadehTrade Review'Shockingly beautiful and evocative - With great skill and beauty, the artists echo the feelings of much of the Palestinians that have to make do with life in a divided, disfigured land - Through their photographs, the artists have succeeded in universalising a great, deep wound that will take years to heal.' Raja Shehadeh 'A beautifully balanced combination of visual and textual explorations of the wall as a physical and psychological barrier ... the possible benefits and pitfalls of incorporating the wall into artistic production are tackled head-on ... While art certainly can beautify, it can also serve as a vehicle to expose a truth, provoke a new perspective in the viewer, pose questions, document events, educate or tell a story. The photographs in "Keep Your Eye on the Wall" do all this and more ... Whatever your take on the dangers or benefits of art inspired by the wall, this is a beautiful book, balancing insightful, thought-provoking writing with a wonderful and varied selection of photographs by some of Palestine's most talented artists.' Daily Star, Lebanon "This project is a powerful endeavour, and creates a tangible and powerful collection of images and thoughts on this particular neo-colonial structure. The photographs and reflections that it contains spark immediate recall in anyone who has experienced the wall and its effects firsthand, and has significance in communicating an awareness of its tangible existence and its ramifications for readers who approach it from a greater distance. At the same time, it presents a certain stimulus or provocation for thought rather than a summation or thesis regarding the ongoing existence of such a management and constriction of lived space." Warscapes 'Seven artist-photographers and four essayists searingly present the wall in pictures and text, in a beautiful accordion bound book, that like the wall, extends in a long line from beginning to end ... One can only hope that this wall will someday fall and the disputed areas will be peacefully reconciled to the advantage of both sides. This book embodies that hope.' Publishers Weekly. 'Stunning testimony.' The Booklist Reader

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Photofascism
Book SynopsisVanessa Rocco is Associate Professor of Humanities & Fine Arts at Southern New Hampshire University, USA and former Associate Curator at the International Center of Photography (ICP), USA. She is co-editor of The New Woman International: Representations in Photography and Film from the 1870s to the1960s (2011). Rocco organized numerous exhibitions and publications at the ICP, including Louise Brooks and the 'New Woman' in Weimar Cinema (2007), Modernist Photography: Selections from the Daniel Cowin Collection (2005), and Expanding Vision: Moholy-Nagy's Experiments of the 1920s (2004). Her reviews and articles about photography and exhibitions have also appeared in numerous prestigious journals.Trade ReviewVanessa Rocco’s Photofascism is an outstanding achievement: a theoretically sophisticated and analytically compelling exposé of the way that the Italian and German dictatorships exploited exhibition culture in order to secure mass loyalty. Today, moreover, in light of fascism’s return, Rocco’s insights have assumed an uncanny contemporary relevance. * Richard Wolin, Distinguished Professor of History and Comparative Literature, The Graduate Center, The City University of New York, USA *Photofascism provides a fascinating, timely, and theoretically rich analysis of the photographic exhibition as a potent piece of the twentieth-century fascist propaganda machine. Rocco has written a historically and geographically grounded study with compelling implications for contemporary society. * Dolores Flamiano, Professor, James Madison University School of Media Arts & Design, USA *Rocco’s study represents a timely addition to the consolidated literature on photography as a means of seductive political persuasion and the monumental staging of power in interwar Europe. * Maria Antonella Pelizzari, Professor of Art History, Hunter College and The Graduate Center, The City University of New York, USA *Rocco delineates a history of the fascist exhibition spaces of spectacle in the 1930s and emphasizes just how much the mediums of photography and film have been engaged to enhance false narratives. Her extensive research provides a history for the way that photo-based imagery has been - and still is - engineered to immerse us in spectacle until we can no longer see the ideological water in which we swim. * Lisa Jaye Young, ArtPulse *A disturbing look into how German and Italian dictatorships of the 1930s utilized photography, film, and exhibitions—and how modern rallies aren’t much different. * Daily Beast, ‘Power of Photography’ *Table of ContentsIntroduction: Designing, Displaying, Facilitating Fascism Chapter 1: Last Stop Before Photofascism: Activist Photo Spaces and the Exhibition of the Building Workers Unions, Berlin 1931 Chapter 2: ‘Acting on the Visitor’s Mind’: Exhibition of the Fascist Revolution, Rome 1932 Chapter 3: Nazis Ascendant: The Camera, Berlin 1933 Chapter 4: “A Fundamental Irony”: The Venice International Film Festivals 1932-36 Chapter 5: Both/And: German and Italian Photography Exhibitions in 1936 and 1937 Epilogue: Total War, 1938-1942, and Visual Culture in the 21st century Bibliography Index

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC Sagger AntiTank Missile vs M60 Main Battle Tank
Book SynopsisThe 1973 Yom Kippur War rewrote the textbook on the tactics of modern armored warfare. Unlike the previous major Arab-Israeli war of 1967, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) faced an enemy that had invested heavily in modern Soviet weapon systems and tactics.Using detailed color artwork and insightful analysis, this book explains how the effective use of the Soviet-supplied AT-3 Sagger (9M14 Malyutka) anti-tank missile allowed small Arab tank-killing teams to destroy Israeli armor at an astonishing rate. It also analyzes the tank that opposed it, the US-built M60A1, which had to fight for survival against the Arab Saggers, and shows how in both the Sinai and the Golan Heights, the IDF quickly learned that firepower and infantry/artillery cooperation were the keys to their survival.Table of ContentsIntroduction / Chronology / Design and Development / The Strategic Situation / Technical Specifications / The Combatants / Combat / Statistics and Analysis / Conclusion / Further Reading / Index

Bloomsbury Publishing PLC The Making of Visual News
Book SynopsisThe Making of Visual News sets out to show how photography has changed the way we read, report and sell the news. It investigates how photographs first became news images at the end of the nineteenth century and how magazines in the USA, the UK, France and Germany have put them to use ever since. Drawing on a wide selection of images, author Thierry Gervais (in collaboration with Gaëlle Morel) analyses news photographs in the context of their original presentation in print. Highly illustrated, the book contains 85 full colour magazine layouts and spreads, offering the reader a view of how photographs were and are used in print publications, including Life, Picture Post, the Berliner Illustrirte Zeitung and VU. It examines how photographs were employed to attract new readers throughout the twentieth century, arguing that photography was the main tool by which news editors sought to communicate the news and attract a broader readership. Looking beyond the roles of photographer and journaTrade ReviewRichly illustrated and clearly written, this book firmly and definitively anchors such well-known mid-century photo weekly magazines as LIFE in a much longer history. Photojournalism is meticulously and meaningfully given its vital role in shaping information and communication since the nineteenth century in this excellent survey - Co-Editor of Getting the Picture and The Visual Culture of the News - Vanessa R.

Aperture Jonas Bendiksen: The Last Testament
Book SynopsisImagined as a sequel to the Old and New Testaments of the Bible by Magnum photographer Jonas Bendiksen, The Last Testament features visual accounts and stories of seven men around the world who claim to be the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. Building on biblical form and structure, chapters dedicated to each Jesus include excerpts of their scriptural testaments, laying out their theology and demands on mankind in their own words. Through Bendiksen’s personal testimonies and intimate portraits, The Last Testament investigates the boundaries of religious faith, and a world in need of salvation, yearning for a new prophet. Whether escaping an angry mob in the streets with the Jesus of Kitwe, joining a Messianic birthday pilgrimage in Siberia, or witnessing the End of Days with Moses in South Africa, Bendiksen immerses himself among the disciples of each Jesus. He takes at face value that each is the one true Messiah returned to Earth, to forge an account that’s both a work of apocalyptic journalism and of a compelling artistic imagination.

The New Press Belonging: Portraits from LGBTQ Thailand
Book SynopsisA stunning collection of photographs of the LGBTQ community in Thailand, from one of the world's most renowned photographers Steve McCurry is the artist behind some of the most iconic images in contemporary photography. His 1984 portrait of Sharbat Gula (“the Afghan girl”) on the cover of National Geographic remains widely recognized to this day. Now McCurry turns his attention to Thailand as part of a series of photobooks on LGBTQ communities around the world. Thailand has long had the reputation as one of the most gay-friendly destinations in Asia, particularly Bangkok with its nightlife and its relative openness and safety. While this may be true for tourists and expats, the idea of Thailand as a haven for LGBTQ people and for same-sex couples, heavily promoted by the tourist industry, does not necessarily extend to Thais themselves. While Thailand is home to the largest LGBTQ communities in Asia, the reality for them is less accepting. Discrimination and exclusion targeting LGBTQ people continues despite a nominally progressive stance on inclusion, and same-sex marriage remains illegal. Against this backdrop, McCurry's lushly colored photographs take us into the vibrant LGBTQ community in Bangkok, and this beautifully packaged, affordably priced book gives us a series of close to one hundred moving and intimate portraits of people who are no longer welcome in the community in which they grew up, but who have forged a new life and a new meaning of family in the queer community. Belonging was designed by Emerson, Wajdowicz Studios (EWS).

Peter Halban Publishers Ltd Shattered Dreams
Book SynopsisThese photographs are more than simply a journalistic record of conflict and turmoil. They are the product of a very personal journey in a place full of shattered dreams brought about by an endless conflict which crosses the boundaries of culture and time. It's a place where the young are robbed of their youth and the elderly stripped of their dignity. The people who live here glorify their past, curse the present, and have difficulty imagining a future. Publishing this book for the 60th anniversary serves as a way of explaining the profound sense of frustration and loss felt on both sides of the Israel/ Palestine divide.

Trolley Books Trolleyology: A Visionary in Publishing - The
Book SynopsisSince they were founded in 2001, Trolley Books has been highly regarded as a maverick independent publisher of photography, reportage, contemporary art and, recently, literature. Trolley's founder Gigi Giannuzzi was a well-known figure in the publishing and photographic industries for his original and dynamic approach to photobook publishing as well as his unrelenting support of photographers and important but underexposed stories. However aged 49 he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and died on Christmas Eve, 2012.

TROLLEYOLOGY presents previously unseen material from the making of the award-winning books, including personal images, contact sheets and photographers' recollections, documenting the unique stories from each book and the importance of this small but potent publishing house.

GOST Books We Don't Say Goodbye
Book SynopsisMeloni’s original aim was to connect the history of troubled countries with their current events to explore new ways of capturing uprisings against totalitarianism and the after-effects of colonial ventures. ‘My intent was to try, within the limits of visual language, to understand and rationalise a conflict— its roots and evolution—and thus position it within its historical context. The Islamic State’s emergence was a logical development, and I can potentially understand why many young men in Iraq, Syria and Libya decided to join. I asked myself many times: if I had been born Iraqi and my family was killed by US soldiers, what might I have done?’

GOST Books Campesino Cuba
Book SynopsisThe histories of these communities have formed the backbone of Cuba, and yet they are rarely depicted in photographic representations of the country.

GOST Books Bank Top
Book SynopsisEaston’s photographs, alongside texts by writer, poet and social researcher Abdul Aziz Hafiz, aim to confront stereotypes and question the dangerous over-simplification of the challenges facing such communities. They do so by presenting the contemporary experience of residents as an ‘alternative history telling’. The black and white photographs in the book were all made in an area less than half a mile square in Blackburn during 2019 and 2020. Working with a large-format wooden field camera, Easton spent long days and weeks in the neighbourhood talking to residents and sometimes making pictures. The project melds image and text — Easton’s portraiture and landscapes combined with poetry and an essay by Aziz Hafiz and with the testimonies of residents. This long-form collaboration acknowledges the issues and impacts of social deprivation, housing, unemployment, immigration and representation, as well as past and present foreign policy. The result is a collective and nuanced portrait of the town — a sensitive response to the oversimplistic representation of such communities in both the media and by government, which deny the right of Bank Top to tell its own story.
