Lessons in seeing
Look at a famous Ansel Adams print and you see (generalising grossly) a technically immaculate, beautiful image of something that is itself obviously impressive and beautiful. Which is not to belittle the level of visual imagination and craftsmanship that went into making those photographs. Look at some of the images in this book and you see something utterly different -- the ability to see a ...

Great book on subject plus recent finds
This is the most beautifully illustrated of the four books on paleontology I've read recently. The full-color plates really allow you to connect the comparative anatomy discussed in the text with the visible features. Tattersall and Schwartz write well and the text never gets dry or technical. Richard Klein's The Dawn of Human Culture is excellent also and has very clear explanations of ...

Good series of books for the price!
The Phaidon 55 series of photobooks is a good series of books for the price. They all offer a good overview of the photographers work in the form of 55 representative images each. The text, written by a different author in each book, varies book to book from abysmally and overly high brow arty, to pretty good and clear. These books are small and easy to carry around with you. They also look good ...

Steidl
, 2004
In 1935, when the influential New York collector Julien Levy conceived the exhibition Documentary and Anti-Graphic Photographs by Cartier-Bresson, Walker Evans & Alvarez Bravo, no one could imagine the eminent place this trio would come to occupy in the avant-garde of their time, nor the immense influence they would have on future generations of photographers. Collected here for the first time since the famous 1935 exhibition, this treasure of ...

, 2003
Not Free SF Reader
An anthology apparently produced to celebrate the fact that the publisher, Golden Gryphon Press had produced 25 books, and getting each writer it seems to write what they felt like in terms of story and genre. A good lineup, so for an original anthology this is pretty reasonable, with an average of 3.48. Despite both the dodgy name and girly looking old fashioned fantasy cover, this is not ...

The United States as Arcadia
Stereoviews were the TV of Victorian England and America. The form presented exotic locations and people as they were, without the sometimes floridly Romantic eye of the landscape painter. In the late 1850's, William England of the London Stereoptic Company became the first commercial photographer to take a series of stereoviews of the US for the European market. Ian Jeffrey has raided the ...

Stephen C. Richards, Professor of Criminal Justice, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh
SPECIAL PROBLEMS IN CORRECTIONS is a fine piece of scholarship, with terrific classroom potential. Each chapter tackles a different important problem in the field of corrections and reviews and/or proposes realistic solutions. It draws upon the traditional literature on jails, prisons and community corrections, and it integrates many of the ideas of the Convict Criminology Perspective. The book ...
