Hirmer Verlag BUKOWSKI (Bilingual edition): THE SHOOTING. By
Book SynopsisCharles Bukowski, the dirty old man of American literature whose poems and prose are closely interwoven with his life – how does one go about portraying a person like that? In 1985, the young photographer Abe Frajndlich took on this challenge. We can say this much: it was not a job that could be accomplished in one shot. The Shooting presents a photographer’s attempt to zero in on a legend. "That face!” Glenn Esterly exclaims in his essay “The Pock-marked Poetry of Charles Bukowski” included in this volume. Everything fascinating about this monumental author is concentrated in his “look”, as impressively demonstrated by the photographs of Abe Frajndlich, many of them previously unpublished. Portraying Bukowski in color and black and white, he gained the writer’s confidence to the point that he was eventually invited to the wedding of Bukowski and Linda Lee Beighle. Telling the story of this meeting, the publication reproduces the various portrait series, culminating in the photographs of the wedding.

RM Verlag SL A Little Louder
Book SynopsisThe photobook titled A little louder by Abdo Shanan on the protests in Algeria is the result of the I Premi Mediterrani Albert Camus Incipiens, organized by the Trobades & Premis Mediterranis Albert Camus of Menorca. This project whose strength of vision is combined with the universality of the revolts against injustice shows the absence of crowds, flags and banners, despite the ever-present determination of the protesters. From an estranged proximity, Abdo Shanan questions and documents in his own way the “hirak”, the peaceful protest movement that has shaken Algeria since February 22, 2019 and that continues with vigor despite the pandemic. The Premi Mediterrani Albert Camus Incipiens wants to highlight emerging trajectories in journalism that resonate with the ethics of the journalist that Albert Camus was.Among the 16 finalist proposals from nine different countries, which included text, photography and illustration, the proposal by the Algerian photographer Abdo Shanan, A Little Louder, struck the jury, made up of Mustapha Benfodil, Sophe Dufau and Juan Valbuena and who deliberated in September of 2020.

Karwansaray BV Rails to the Front: The Role of Railways in
Book Synopsis“The North can make a steam engine, locomotive, or railway car [...] You are rushing into war with one of the most powerful, ingeniously mechanical, and determined people on Earth — right at your doors.”~ William Tecumseh Sherman, 1860The military use of railways derives from their ability to move troops or materiel rapidly and, less commonly, on their use as a platform for military systems (like armoured trains and heavy artillery). Until recently, the mobility of large armies generally depended on control of railways to move reinforcements, ammunition and food, as the locomotive and railway cars proved far superior to animal-drawn equipment.In Rails to the Front, historians Augustus J. Veenendaal and H. Roger Grant capture the critical impact of railways in an abundance of conflicts worldwide, from the German revolutions in the 1840s to the Gulf War in the 1990s. This lavishly illustrated, careful study is the first of its kind in English.Trade ReviewI thoroughly enjoyed this book. It is a fine addition to my collection and has shone a spotlight into a crucial aspect of military history that I should have paid better attention to in the past. * Classic Military Vehicle Magazine *This terrific book celebrates the most important innovation in the history of mankind - the railways, which took over as the main means of transport all over the world from the beginning of the Victorian era. And the impact it had was influential almost immediately in the various conflicts, although it really came into its own in the early years of the first World War. Amazing photos, an amazing slice of social history combine to make this a genuine enthusiast's delight. * Books Monthly *As modellers, we have arguably become accustomed to concentrating on ever finer details, perhaps at the expense of considering the broader picture: this book certainly counters that tendence and puts railways in a wider context. * Continental Modeller *This rather excellent publication covers the use of railways from its inception for military purposes...Both armoured trains and rail artillery receive coverage, with some interesting photos. This book is worth the price for the artwork alone. * Scale Military Modelling International Magazine *This book is an excellent value for the money. It fulfills its broad purpose of presenting the role of railways in warfare and provides an excellent launching platform for those wishing to know more about detailed individual circumstances. * Railroad History *This is an authoritative work, engagingly written, attractively designed, and given its nice price, easily recommendable as the go-to work in its field. * The Lexington Quarterly *
