Originating in Europe in the sixteenth century, the Mennonites are a Protestant religious sect, related to the Amish. Rather than compromise their way of life, they have continually been forced to migrate around the world to maintain their freedom to live as they choose. The greatest numbers are now found in Mexico, and many live or regularly migrate to work in rural Canada. Larry Towell first encountered the Mennonites near his home in Ontario, Canada, and through his friendship with them he has gained unique access to their communities. Towell has been photographing Mennonites in Canada and Mexico for over ten years, and this collection, "The Mennonites", creates a unique and intimate portrait of an often-misunderstood people. In addition to his images, Towell's own texts tell in poignant and descriptive detail his experiences with the Mennonite communities: the harshness and poverty of their rural existence, the disciplines and contradictions of their religion, their hunger for land and work, and the constant struggle to keep the modern world at bay. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2060 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:33:50 -0700 500.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2063&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2063 Elliott Erwitt, a leading photographer of his generation and a member of the prestigious Magnum Agency, has been taking photographs all over the world since the late 1940s.

Kennedy's raw empathy, his determination to make our lives better, and his insistence that the government is answerable to all - black and white, rich and poor - hundreds of thousands of people stood patiently in the searing heat on June 8th, 1968 to watch his funeral train travel slowly from New York to Washington, D.C., just as Abraham Lincoln's had, 103 years before. Paul Fusco photographed the silent, mourning crowds from the passing train. The result, brought to light over thirty-years later, is a moving snapshot of America at a crucial moment of trauma and transition. An essay by Norman Mailer, as well as a retelling of the events surrounding the funeral of RFK by prizewinning Newsweek editor Evan Thomas, join the tribute given by Senator Edward M. Kennedy, capturing how this man and his vision of America touched us with steadfast idealism and humanity. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2059 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:31:36 -0700 160.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2058&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2058 This special box set comes with a limited edition print signed by the photographer.First commissioned to accompany the Nick Broomfield documentary "Fetishes", Meiselas's "Pandora's Box" is a darkly captivating journey into a high-class sex club that specializes in sado-masochism. Mistress Raven heads a staff of 14 at Pandora's Box, a 4,000-square-foot, high-class Manhattan sex club that bills itself as the "Disneyland of Domination." Interspersed with pages made of latex, rubber, colored gels, and other erotic materials, Magnum photographer Susan Meiselas's documentary photographs of the club's highly formalized rules and rituals and its role-playing "vacations from reality" reveal both the customers who frequent the club and the women who command them. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2058 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:31:17 -0700 850.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2057&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2057 Signed and numbered artist's book in an edition of 75. In cloth covered box. This is photographer and journalist Larry Towell's documentary account of the Palestinians. It reveals the landscape of a scarred and battered "no man's land" - the area that calls itself Palestine and Israel, but which is neither fully - and the daily lives of the people who live there. Photographed over a period of ten years and completed with the support of the prestigious Henri Cartier-Bresson Award (with Towell as its first recipient, in 2003), this is Towell's most important body of work to date and a landmark of photographic art and journalism. Towell describes the physical and psychological walls that divide Palestinians from Israelis and a land divided against itself. As Towell relates in an excerpt from the book, "Today, the little that remains of Palestinian land has been cut to ribbons by a military infrastructure of settlement roads, checkpoints, watch-towers, security gates, walls and weapons, guaranteeing Israel's ultimate control and extending it to satellite settlements, the purpose of which is clearly expansionist. By granting Israel enough political immunity to flout international law, the U.S. has helped turn it into a pariah, condemned by the world community." Towell illustrates this through his black and white photographs, many of them epic panoramas, which are simultaneously sad, haunting, breathtaking and beautiful. It includes a foreword by Robert Delpire. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2057 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:30:56 -0700 1000.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2061&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2061 This Limited Edition includes the book signed by Muhammad Ali and an 8x10" collector's print signed by Thomas Hoepker. From the world's foremost agency of independent photographers, Magnum Photos, comes a stunning photographic portrait of the Olympic gold medalist, heavyweight champion, and 20th-century icon Muhammad Ali. Astonishingly intimate images by some of the world's best photographers capture Ali's flamboyant style and extraordinary charisma. His shocking upset victory over Sonny Liston, his conversion to the Nation of Islam, his outspoken stances on social issues, which made him a controversial figure during the turbulent 1960s: all unfold before us in these compelling images. Stripped of his title when he refused induction into the armed services in 1967 and unable to fight until the U.S. Supreme Court upheld his draft appeal in 1971, Ali went on to compile a 565 record, wage furious ring battles with Joe Frazier and George Foreman that were among boxing's biggest events, and become the only man ever to win the heavyweight crown three times. Ali remains one of the world's most recognized and beloved figures, whose lighting of the flame at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta moved millions the world over. His exceptional life and achievements provide fertile material for this remarkable photo-essay. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2061 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:30:32 -0700 800.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2056&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2056 For much of his career, Martin Parr has specialized in skewering the eccentricities and peculiarities of his native Great Britain—in particular those having to do with food, tourism, bad fashion choices and. . . more food. “Mexico” is Parr’s first new thematic series to be published in book form since 2002, a distinct geographical departure, and in part a greater departure as well. Parr is struck not only by Mexican culture, but also by the clear impact of America’s pop culture and economy on Mexican life—the juxtaposition of Mickey Mouse with brightly colored saints, Nike logos with Day of the Dead skulls and Coca Cola with cacti. Here viewers are in recognizable territory with Parr’s colorful close-ups of food, hats, signs and souvenirs, garishly shot with medical efficiency—but “Mexico” also includes some straight records of human faces, images that capture photographer and subject in the act of mutual contemplation. These moments of mercy are one with the underlying theme of Parr’s more ironic work, calling up equally the corruption of authentic cultural forms by global consumer culture, which he both critiques and celebrates. As Parr puts it, “What I am saying is that it’s a good and a bad thing. I’m constantly trying to express ambiguity. And that’s what photography does very well.” http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2056 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:30:02 -0700 650.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2064&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2064 Martin Parr's work has always provoked discussion and debate.

Book description: Like a restless ghost, James Dean (1921-1955) continues to haunt us. Though he died nearly 50 years ago, the enigmatic star of East of Eden, Rebel without a Cause, and Giant still symbolizes the mystery and torment of adolescence image that his sudden, violent death fixed forever in the public mind. Magnum photographer Dennis Stock met Dean in Hollywood in 1954 and began to capture him on camera. Shot over a three-month period just as the young actor's star began to rise, these iconic photographs are the greatest pictures ever taken of Dean. Together with Stock's text and an introduction by Dean biographer Joe Hyams, the images provide an extraordinarily intimate view of the cult legend whose brooding good looks captivated fans by illuminating the troubled depths of his character. Published on the 50th anniversary of his death, this is the definitive photographic portrait of James Dean in both his professional and his private worlds the real man behind the lingering legend.

Between September 3 and 11, 2005, photographer Larry Towell, accompanied by Southern novelist Ace Atkins, traveled along the coast of Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi, documenting the dramatic aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.Towell's are not loud news pictures, but haunting and poetic landscapes many of them - panoramas as well as photographs that depict the lives of ordinary people amidst the devastation. It is an intimate, documentary record of the hurricane's impact and a tribute to human endurance. For his afterword, Ace Atkins revisits the scenes of Towell's photographs nine months on, reflecting on how the communities of the coast have been able to rebuild their lives. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2055 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:27:11 -0700 120.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2066&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2066 This special edition includes an 8x10" inkjet print.

In "Havana: The Revolutionary Moment", Burt Glinn describes the combination of chutzpah and journalistic prescience that led him to leave a New York party and hop a plane to Havana, arriving just after dawn on New Year's Day, 1959. He came in search of a revolution, and what he found there is one of the most revealing accounts of Fidel Castro and Cuba ever recorded. Glinn was able to grasp that, far more than bearing witness to some interesting news event, he found himself in the very midst of history in-the-making, at a moment of serious radical change. His images of Castro thronged by his countrymen and women as he stopped to encourage them along the road to Havana, of troops embracing, and of fierce men and women alike taking up arms in the streets are full of the fervor, hope and idealism that characterized a very defining moment in Cuban history. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2066 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:26:40 -0700 180.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2054&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2054 "In this book, Magnum photographer Bruce Gilden explores the darker side of Japan.

From 1972 to 1975, Susan Meiselas spent her summers photographing and interviewing women who performed striptease for small town carnivals in New England, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina. As she followed the girl shows from town to town, she portrayed the dancers on stage and off, photographing their public performances as well as their private lives. She also taped interviews with the dancers, their boyfriends, the show managers, and paying customers. Meiselas's frank description of the lives of these women brought a hidden world to public attention. Produced during the early years of the womens movement, Carnival Strippers reflects the struggle for identity and self-esteem that characterized a complex era of change. This revised edition contains a new selection of Meiselas's black-and-white photographs together with the original interview excerpts. Essays by Sylvia Wolf and Deirdre English reflect on the importance of this body of work within the history of photography and the history of feminism. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2051 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:24:15 -0700 800.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2052&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2052 This Limited Edition offer includes the signed OUT OF PRINT book and an 8x10" signed collector's print from Eli Reed's Boys of Sudan collection.Book: Eli Reed's provocative and often poignant portrait of black life in America. Eli Reed has been documenting the black experience in America from the time he began taking pictures. This volume, "Black in America", is his provocative and often poignant portrait of black life in America. As a photographer, Reed is known for his unflinching coverage of events both large and small. Here we see tender moments between parents and children contrasted with the Los Angeles riots. The joy of a wedding follows the sorrow and anger at the funeral of Yusef Hawkins (whose death sparked the Crown Heights riots in Brooklyn in 1991). The deceptive innocence of rural life balances the tension of the urban drug scene. A 104-year-old woman contemplates her life a few pages away from the Million Man March in Washington, D.C. There is the truth in Reed's work, as well as anger, and compassion. These images communicate to us - sometimes as gentle as a kiss, sometimes as hard as a bullet. They are all part of Eli Reed's America, and ours. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2052 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:23:55 -0700 400.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2040&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2040 In "Under a Grudging Sun", Alex Webb has narrowed his focus to a particular time and place, to "sad and beguiling Haiti" during the brief period after the departure of its dictator, Jean-Claude Duvalier. Webb had made several trips to Haiti before Duvalier left, but when he first returned during "Haiti Libere" he was struck by a new sense of freedom and openness among the people. Here in photographs is the story of that period, when some of the poorest, most oppressed people in the Western Hemisphere had hope for democratic reforms. Yet here also is the tragic dashing of that hope and the horrifying and violent chaos that enveloped Haiti. Webb's masterful photojournalism does not so much bring us 'the news' as it brings us into the news: into the streets, markets, and harbors, and into the lives of the Haitian people. His photographs make palpable the sense of imminent violence, the sensuous color amid desperate poverty, the turmoil and the enveloping heat in a way that television news never can and traditional photojournalism rarely does. It is the very intimacy and emotional complexity of Webb's depiction of Haiti that enables his photographs to speak with such sympathy for so many people and places where life goes on vividly and tragically in the severest of circumstances. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2040 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:22:45 -0700 135.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2049&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2049 A classic of British documentary photography, "The Teds" is a vivid and absorbing book combining the images of Chris Steele-Perkins and text by Richard Smith to tell a fascinating story that spans some three decades. The book presents Steele-Perkins' unforgettable photographs of the antics, clothes, hairstyles, and in the end, lives of the British working-class youth of the Fifties. The style was tenderly called "Teddy Boy" or "Ted" for short. It brought the American cowboy to the United Kingdom and turned him into (as Elvis Presley did in the United States) the overt and unabashed expression of potent male sexuality. The "sexy" look has always been as cultivated, artificial, and precise as any other fashion or style that seeks to define a social class, a generation or a zeitgeist. What makes "The Teds" so unique is that the young men expressed all three and, intentionally or not, made the vitality, shamelessness, and exuberance of working-class British youth an enduring and permanent influence on global culture. The Teddy Boys are direct if ingenious representatives of one of the most seminal generations of the 20th century, captured here in stunning photographs by Steele-Perkins. Smith's articulate, brilliant, and indispensable riff-essays complement Steele-Perkins's photographs in a seamless fusion. Originally published in paperback in 1979, "The Teds" has been re-issued in a hardback form by Dewi Lewis. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2049 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:22:09 -0700 50.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2033&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2033 "The New Life" features a series of fifty photographs by French photographer Lise Sarfati. The photographs were taken in cities like Austin (Texas), Asheville (North Carolina), Portland (Oregon), Berkeley, Oakland and Los Angeles (California), New Orleans (Louisiana) and some small towns in Georgia. In each of these portraits, Sarfati dramatizes the complexity of adolescent identity within unfamiliar territory - both emotional and physical - where the simplest of feelings become exalted, and everything is lived with an intensity that adults will never again be able to feel. We are talking here of a kind of parallel reality, an interstitial territory which doesn't understand geographical spaces or political systems, which no longer belongs either to a completely real reality or to a consciously conceived fiction, but rather finds itself fed by its own rituals and codes of behavior, where the dividing line between good and bad, happiness and sadness, innocence and perversity or reality and fantasy is extensively blurred. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2033 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:21:37 -0700 75.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2036&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2036 Originating in Europe in the sixteenth century, the Mennonites are a Protestant religious sect, related to the Amish.

What he documented here is an elegant yet grittily realistic portrait of ordinary people doing a "sometimes boring, sometimes corrupting, sometimes dangerous and ugly and unhealthy job." Freed shows the isolation, the complexity, the harshness and the camaraderie of the men and women hired as public servants, and the people they are required to protect. "Police Work" is a sharply tragic and compassionate view of police work and life. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2017 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:16:51 -0700 150.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2028&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2028 First commissioned to accompany the Nick Broomfield documentary "Fetishes", Meiselas's "Pandora's Box" is a darkly captivating journey into a high-class sex club that specializes in sado-masochism. Mistress Raven heads a staff of 14 at Pandora's Box, a 4,000-square-foot, high-class Manhattan sex club that bills itself as the "Disneyland of Domination." Interspersed with pages made of latex, rubber, colored gels, and other erotic materials, Magnum photographer Susan Meiselas's documentary photographs of the club's highly formalized rules and rituals and its role-playing "vacations from reality" reveal both the customers who frequent the club and the women who command them. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2028 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:16:15 -0700 150.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2001&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2001 In November 2002, war photographer Christopher Anderson had a chance encounter with a Holga, a plastic toy camera manufactured in China. Expecting it to be nothing more than a game, Anderson quickly found a kind of freedom with the plastic camera that differed greatly from his usual work as a war photographer. "My work requires a certain intellectual engagement in trying to visually communicate information both literal and emotional. But I found something very different with this camera. Because it's a toy, I couldn't control it the way I normally would. I couldn't take pictures that were the result of an engaged thought process, because it was physically impossible with this camera," explains Anderson. Instead, he found himself reacting and taking pictures in a much more instinctive way. "The pictures that I was taking were free of meaning or message and were much more revealing about how I reacted to scenes that I encountered while going about my life," he adds. Anderson used the plastic camera for a period of eight months, and his photographs were guided solely by emotion and intuition. The softcover book, containing a collection of 54 images, is housed in a colorful box that makes the perfect accessory for any coffee table. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2001 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:15:37 -0700 30.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2037&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2037 This is photographer and journalist Larry Towell's documentary account of the Palestinians. It reveals the landscape of a scarred and battered "no man's land" - the area that calls itself Palestine and Israel, but which is neither fully - and the daily lives of the people who live there. Photographed over a period of ten years and completed with the support of the prestigious Henri Cartier-Bresson Award (with Towell as its first recipient, in 2003), this is Towell's most important body of work to date and a landmark of photographic art and journalism. Towell describes the physical and psychological walls that divide Palestinians from Israelis and a land divided against itself. As Towell relates in an excerpt from the book, "Today, the little that remains of Palestinian land has been cut to ribbons by a military infrastructure of settlement roads, checkpoints, watch-towers, security gates, walls and weapons, guaranteeing Israel's ultimate control and extending it to satellite settlements, the purpose of which is clearly expansionist. By granting Israel enough political immunity to flout international law, the U.S. has helped turn it into a pariah, condemned by the world community." Towell illustrates this through his black and white photographs, many of them epic panoramas, which are simultaneously sad, haunting, breathtaking and beautiful. It includes a foreword by Robert Delpire. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2037 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:14:55 -0700 100.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2031&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2031 For much of his career, Martin Parr has specialized in skewering the eccentricities and peculiarities of his native Great Britain—in particular those having to do with food, tourism, bad fashion choices and. . . more food. “Mexico” is Parr’s first new thematic series to be published in book form since 2002, a distinct geographical departure, and in part a greater departure as well. Parr is struck not only by Mexican culture, but also by the clear impact of America’s pop culture and economy on Mexican life—the juxtaposition of Mickey Mouse with brightly colored saints, Nike logos with Day of the Dead skulls and Coca Cola with cacti. Here viewers are in recognizable territory with Parr’s colorful close-ups of food, hats, signs and souvenirs, garishly shot with medical efficiency—but “Mexico” also includes some straight records of human faces, images that capture photographer and subject in the act of mutual contemplation. These moments of mercy are one with the underlying theme of Parr’s more ironic work, calling up equally the corruption of authentic cultural forms by global consumer culture, which he both critiques and celebrates. As Parr puts it, “What I am saying is that it’s a good and a bad thing. I’m constantly trying to express ambiguity. And that’s what photography does very well.” http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2031 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:13:25 -0700 50.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2015&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2015 "Germany has been, in the grips of its history, a divided people. The pivot of Germany's tragedies and its greatest glories has been its geography. All that passes through Europe, east to west, north to south, crosses Germany and has affected its character directly and indirectly." So says Leonard Freed, who spent significant time after the Second World War traveling through the Germanic countryside. He has captured the multi-faceted identity crisis of a nation searching for itself, one where families have been divided, new immigrants arrive daily on its borders, and people struggle for normality and a sense of belonging after years of political upheaval. "Made in Germany" documents the everyday life of those within the then newly-formed Bundesrepublik, yet it does not define the Germans as a single people. Rather, to be 'made in Germany' is, as Freed puts it, a "misdemeanor", since Germany itself was just created. He portrays the country in exactly this manner: an amalgamation of persons in the same area, searching for a history yet constantly looking to the future. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2015 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:13:00 -0700 200.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2044&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2044 On assignment in Liverpool in the early eighties, photojournalist Peter Marlow bore witness to the enormity of the devastation afflicting inner cities. He knew that what he had seen could not be covered in a single magazine story, and so he returned to the city many times over subsequent years. Liverpool, with its long maritime history, was a city built at the hub of the Empire. Amid the new housing, the shopping precincts, the demolition sites and the wasteland were the glue-sniffers, football crowds, elderly and young, black and white. There, Marlow found a vitality and an instinct for survival within a city in decline, isolated like an island surrounded by the dreams of a Thatcherite nation. "Liverpool Looking Out to Sea" forms one of the fiercest social documents of an inner city in Britain, and became one of the strongest indictments of an era. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2044 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:12:31 -0700 195.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2023&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2023 The Greek island of Leros was for 20 years and more the site of the worlds most notorious and brutal asylum for the insane. In his book “Leros”, Alex Majoli has chronicled the asylum’s inmates and their return to a sane world and integration into island society. Thirty years ago, in the balmy Aegean blue, the island of Leros was commandeered for a social experiment that was to become a secret so terrible as to rival that of the Nazi death camps or the Stalinist gulags. When the Greek psychiatric medical establishment reached the end of their perfunctorily useful treatment of their patients they sent them to Leros, and the asylum set up in the former political prison there. The staff were not doctors or nurses and had no medical training, other than herding goats. They were local islanders, and were used as guards, or filaks. The guards quickly degenerated into thugs, who sought to control the madmen with the only methods available to them brute force and terror. The inmates were systematically beaten, even tortured, and crushed of whatever sensibilities they once had. They became animals, who defecated where they stood or crawled, who fought and killed themselves or each other, according to their needs, in a veritable Golgotha of despair, filth and violence. No human traits were recognizable among the inmates even speech had become redundant. In 1990 a team of Italian psychiatrists from Trieste, aided by volunteer care workers, managed to break down the walls of this madhouse. What they found shocked even them, as did the blank indifference of the guards how else should they behave in a world deprived of reason? Leros was for 20 years and more the site of the worlds most notorious and brutal asylum for the insane. In his book “Leros”, Alex Majoli has chronicled the asylum’s inmates and their return to a sane world and integration into island society. How could such a regime have existed? And how could anyone have survived it? http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2023 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:12:06 -0700 60.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2014&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2014 For this collection, Brooklyn-born photographer Leonard Freed chose his most powerful images taken during a period of over thirty years spent traveling across continents. The 170 black and white pictures collected here are well worth the wait: the subject matter is sometimes violent and the images often startling, but a deep compassion and lively interest in seemingly every aspect of the human condition are evident in each shot. It is around the theme of 'life and all its emotions' that Freed conceived this anthology, and it balances his commissioned worked with images reflecting a more personal quality. Freed's images are, like those of Boubat, Doisneau, and Cartier-Bresson, full of irony, humor, and pathos. They document black America, neo-Nazis, the Arab-Israeli war, the Romanian revolution, and many other subjects. Stefanie Rosenkranz, a journalist from "Stern" magazine who has worked with Freed on assignment, contributes a highly personal anecdotal essay. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2014 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:11:48 -0700 250.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2008&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2008 Dedicated to the farm workers of California and Mexico, “La Causa” is a timely and compelling documentary on the California grape strike of the late 1960s. In the short fervent history of the United Farm Workers, the plight of California’s migrant laborers had made headlines, and Cesar Chávez, their leader, became a national hero. Students, housewives, clergy, businessmen and civil rights workers walked picket lines, raised money, spread the word and took up the cry of the movement to “Boycott grapes!” The boycott served to turn a light on thousands of poverty-stricken migrant workers living in California. The strike, initiated in 1965 by Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee (AWOC), attempted to organize the fragmented workers collectives to push for greater labor rights. Six months later, Chávez and the National Farm Workers Association (NFWA) led a strike of California grape-pickers on the historic march from Delano to the California state capitol in Sacramento. Through the recognition of common goals and methods, and the realization of the strengths of organization, Mexicans, Mexican-Americans, Filipinos, and Filipino Americans jointly formed the United Farm Workers Organizing Committee (UFWOC), which would eventually evolve into the United Farm Workers of today. Alongside personal essays and interviews supplied by George D. Horwitz, Paul Fusco recorded the everyday lives of the people at the center of the controversy, at work, at rest, and campaigning to raise awareness of the purpose of their protest. His evocative photographs caught the spirit and character of these people, serving as a unique commentary on the battlefront for human rights. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2008 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:11:22 -0700 50.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2030&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2030 The book traces the history of the Kurds by presenting photographs and accounts by colonial administrators, anthropologists, missionaries, journalists, and others who have traveled to Kurdistan over the last century.

A couple is caught in a net of spray-string confetti; a bride poses among ruin; a chain of wedding couples kisses in a zoo with caged elephants behind them; and a post-nuptial couple, in all their Western finery, sleep soundly, and separately, in the back of a limousine. “I do, I do, I do” reveals conflicts that the artist, a 41-year-old unwed man with three younger sisters and no brothers, feels about the notion of marriage and all the traditional family pressures that it entails. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2004 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:03:13 -0700 60.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2043&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2043 For more than ten years, while working on special assignments as a photojournalist, Alex Webb also turned his camera to a deeper, more contemplative purpose. Though the photographs travel from Mexico through the Caribbean Islands, Africa, and Asia, they are unified by Webb's concern for the sense of mystery as well as the ironies and tensions which these regions all share. Here, in Webb's gripping photographs, are the world's tropics in all their vivid beauty, desperation, exuberance, and incipient violence. The tropics we see in "Hot Light/Half Made Worlds" are the tropics which such politically and culturally diverse writers as Joseph Conrad, Graham Greene, V.S. Naipaul, and Carlos Fuentes have responded to with astonishment as well as despair. With his brilliant combination of the new aesthetics of color photography and the great modern tradition of photojournalism, Webb has forged not just a new style but a passionate vision of the world. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2043 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:02:54 -0700 400.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2009&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2009 Arguing that many of the people in Japan wear a 'mask of uniformity', Bruce Gilden wanted to dig deeper to find persons who were both physical and intense and who, in one way or another, stood out from the others. What he found, presented here in his collection "Go", was an assortment of homeless men and women, day workers, Yakuza (members of traditional organized crime groups in Japan, which is said to be the largest organized crime phenomenon in the world), right-wing nationalists and bosozoku - a subculture where groups of young men and women share a common interest in designing and driving modified cars and motorcycles. He presents another side to the traditional and often stereotypical view of Japanese society, one where not everything is high technology and poverty is rife. All images have been shot in Tokyo and Osaka, and reveal how violence and hardship weave through many aspects of daily existence in these two sprawling cities. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2009 Wed, 30 May 2007 14:00:49 -0700 125.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2013&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2013 In 7 thematic sections - the seven deadly sins of fashion - Bruce Gilden paints a picture of our time.

The tribes in these West Papuan highlands were only discovered in 1938; prior to which they had absolutely no outside contact. Their societal condition was officially 'stone age'; they relied on a mix of hunting and farming skills for their subsistence lifestyle. “Encounters with the Dani” is a history of contact with the Dani tribe, researched by Meiselas and presented in conjunction with the Nederlands Foto Instituut as part of the Photoworks-in-Progress series "Constructing Identity". In this subjective, fragmentary history, Meiselas draws from the experiences of missionaries, colonists, anthropologists and modern-day ecotourists, all of whom have come to the Dani's Baliem Valley and transformed the conditions under which they live. The ambiguous relations between power and representation - whether in the form of Dutch colonial patrol notes from the 1930s, the sensationalized media accounts of the survivors of a downed U.S. army plane in "Shangri-La" from the 1940s or a tourist's snapshots from the 1990s - become visible in Meiselas's book, through both the contradictions and unexpected continuities of the gathered materials. Meiselas explains that, "I wanted to explore the ways in which the Dani have been seen by travelers, anthropologists, missionaries, colonialists, and perhaps themselves, throughout this century." The result is an amazing volume which tells of the discovery of the tribe, to missionary leaflets, to the 1962 Life Magazine article on the Dani. Meiselas' own photographs of the tribe are scattered throughout the volume. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2029 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:57:09 -0700 60.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2039&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2039 Larry Towell's photographs of El Salvador, at once powerful and compassionate, reveal a country of violence and heartbreak, as well as one of strength and dignity. Towell first traveled to El Salvador in 1986 as a member of a human rights delegation. Since the beginning of the civil war, which started in 1979, 50,000 people had been killed, 25 percent of the population had become refugees, and death squads continued to terrorize the streets. The war ended in the early 1990s, but not without lasting repercussions. In Towell's haunting photographs, we see a world in which everyone is a combatant and every place a war zone. Yet amid the brutality and death there is a harsh beauty - people grieve and move on, peasant woman wash clothes and nurse infants under the eyes of soldiers, children with hopeful faces forage the dumpsites for food. Towell thoroughly documented both the war and its aftermath, and "El Salvador" represents an honest and intimate portrait of a country and its people. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2039 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:56:28 -0700 55.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2003&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2003 Alienation and connection are the subjects of much of Chien-Chi Chang's work. “Double Happiness” is the maturation of this original impetus. His first work on the topic was classically photojournalistic in approach, following the mainstream wedding industry as it manufactured strangers into brides and grooms. Almost ten years later, the work and his approach has evolved enormously, resulting in a body of work that addresses the fringes of the wedding industry: the voluntary importation of women from Vietnam and other poorer Asian countries into Taiwan for the purpose of brokered marriages. A selection of young women are displayed to the men who sign up for the service; if a man chooses one of the girls and she accepts the proposal, the marriage takes place within three days. The marriage broker handles the entire affair from selection process to ceremony. Chang offers a series of scenarios following the process: selection, application and paperwork, ceremony. The images are accompanied by interviews with the brokers, the men and women, and sample "interviews" that take place between the potential bride and grooms as they determine the suitability of their partners. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2003 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:52:17 -0700 35.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2021&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2021 David Alan Harvey's "Divided Soul" is a collection of more than 100 color photographs and personal texts representing his 30-year journey throughout the Spanish and Portuguese diaspora. Exploring the exuberance and incongruities of Hispanic life, Harvey looks into the "divided soul" of the Spanish-speaking world, a world where tradition and ritual are inherent in everyday life. Harvey's images encompass much that is evocative and often contradictory. There are images of pulsating street carnivals in Cuba, African tribal ceremonies in Brazil, an erotic disco in Lisbon, birthday 'fiestas' and First Communion ceremonies in Mexico. Harvey's gift for anticipating the fleeting yet revealing moment results in photographs that combine a direct documentary style and emotional mood with his own powerful, personal vision. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2021 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:51:28 -0700 75.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2020&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2020 OUT OF PRINT.

This borderland, split by the Rio Grande and the border fence, is a place of transience and crossings—of people and goods as well as of ideas and beliefs. Noted photo-journalist Alex Webb has spent decades covering the border. This collection of color images shows a terrain where cultural differences between the two countries are blurred, where industrialized efficiency meets spirituality, where wealth meets poverty, and all are transformed in the process. Webb's longtime friend and colleague Tom Miller explores the concept of the border as a third country and its transformation over the past decades. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2041 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:49:58 -0700 80.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2010&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2010 Sitting on the outskirts of the five boroughs, the world famous pleasure beach of Coney Island has been the summer destination for New Yorkers since its heyday in the 1890s. Towards the end of the 1960s, one year after he first picked up a camera, Bruce Gilden took the subway train through Brooklyn to capture the sunbathers, the weekenders, the sideshow booths and the Cyclone rollercoaster. Coney Island's reputation has steadily slipped since Gilden started to photograph there, and is now known as a place where the poor who cannot escape the summer city heat go for thrills. Regardless of this, Gilden's ability to eke out the characters and eccentricities give the beach and its surrounding neighborhood a humorous and authentic view of daily life on the beach from the sixties through until the late 1980s. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2010 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:49:18 -0700 80.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2027&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2027 From 1972 to 1975, Susan Meiselas spent her summers photographing and interviewing women who performed striptease for small town carnivals in New England, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina. As she followed the girl shows from town to town, she portrayed the dancers on stage and off, photographing their public performances as well as their private lives. She also taped interviews with the dancers, their boyfriends, the show managers, and paying customers. Meiselas' frank description of the lives of these women brought a hidden world to public attention. Produced during the early years of the women's movement, Carnival Strippers reflects the struggle for identity and self-esteem that characterized a complex era of change. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2027 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:47:18 -0700 75.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2019&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2019 In 1962 Leonard Freed went to Berlin to shoot the wall being erected. There he saw an African American soldier standing in front of the wall and it struck him; that at home in the US, African Americans were struggling for civil rights, and here in Germany an African American soldier was ready to defend the USA. This prompted a lengthy examination by Freed of the plight of the African Americans at home in the United States. Freed traveled to New York, Washington, D.C. and all throughout the South, capturing images of a segregated and racially-entrenched society. The photos taken at that time were then published in 1968 in "Black in White America". "Black in White America" is a moving collection of photos and telling captions that document the African American struggle for self-definition in mid-20th century America. Freed's sensitive and informative black-and-white photographs, reproduced in gravure, of 1960s African American living throughout America investigates the politics of the country, and articulates the anxiety of an under-represented and discriminated people. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2019 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:46:47 -0700 200.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2032&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2032 Eli Reed has been documenting the black experience in America from the time he began taking pictures. This volume, "Black in America", is his provocative and often poignant portrait of black life in America. As a photographer, Reed is known for his unflinching coverage of events both large and small. Here we see tender moments between parents and children contrasted with the Los Angeles riots. The joy of a wedding follows the sorrow and anger at the funeral of Yusef Hawkins (whose death sparked the Crown Heights riots in Brooklyn in 1991). The deceptive innocence of rural life balances the tension of the urban drug scene. A 104-year-old woman contemplates her life a few pages away from the Million Man March in Washington, D.C. There is the truth in Reed's work, as well as anger, and compassion. These images communicate to us - sometimes as gentle as a kiss, sometimes as hard as a bullet. They are all part of Eli Reed's America, and ours. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2032 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:46:23 -0700 80.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2018&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2018 A member of Magnum since 1972, Leonard Freed has spent years traveling the world and documenting everyday lives. "For me," says Freed, "there are two important elements in photography: Time and Truth. Time is sealed as it were. Photos cannot be repeated. They are set forever in a moment in time. Truth is what we are seeking in art. My photos convey what I believe is my truth, expressed through my ability as an artist. You are seeing exactly what I saw." Within this seminal tome are photographs from throughout Freed's long career, and is divided into sections such as religions, portraits, social situations, and hobbies and leisure time. "Another Life" is a widely-inclusive collection of Freed's life and work, solidifying his artistic integrity whilst fulfilling his artistic vision. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2018 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:45:50 -0700 375.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2016&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2016 During the 1950s and 1960s the photographer Leonard Freed resided and worked in Amsterdam. He photographed the daily life of the people in the city and the suburbs, recording the ordinary, everyday face of Amsterdam at a time that was so ordinary that eternity seemed to be anchored in it: the latter three quarters of the fifties and the beginning of the next decade, before the sixties were known as "The Sixties" and long before they had any historical allure. In "Amsterdam: the Sixties", Freed unconsciously paints a portrait of innocence and decadence, of artists, of the royal family, and of the hard working post-war population of Holland. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2016 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:45:26 -0700 150.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2024&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2024 In "American Color", Constantine Manos has created a set of fascinating images that engage both the eye and mind in repeated viewings and contemplation. Photographing mostly in exotic locales and at public events within the United States, such as Venice Beach and Atlantic City, Bike Week at Daytona Beach and at Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Manos presents a kaleidoscopic view of American culture. Although the pictures were made in the United States, they do not pretend to constitute a general or definitive statement about the country or its people. They are instead specific moments which cannot be categorized and which exist for their own sake. In his preface Manos says, "The flow of people in a setting, their changing relationship to each other and their environment, and their constantly changing expressions and movements - all combine to create dynamic situations which provide the photographer with limitless choices of when to push the button. By choosing a precise intersection between subject and time, he may transform the ordinary into the extraordinary and the real into the surreal." "American Color" is a collection of photographs which charm, humor, mystify, and astonish, while asking questions without giving ready answers. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2024 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:44:18 -0700 80.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2012&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2012 "After the Off", a collaboration of Bruce Gilden and the Irish writer Dermot Healy, is a riveting and dynamic portrait of bucolic Irish life. The book, set in rural Ireland against the background of the on-course gambling operations, documents the humor, exhilaration and suspense of the men and (few) women to whom local horse racing is a part of life and for some a livelihood. Gilden's powerful black and white images are both amusing and intense, forming a perfect symbiosis with the vividly atmospheric story-telling of Dermot Healy. "After the Off" is a striking portrait that merges the factual with the surreal in complex and subtle layers, alternately entertaining and serious, yet always candid. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2012 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:43:58 -0700 65.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2025&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2025 Living in Greece for three years, Constantine Manos traveled the countryside in search of images that capture the character and beauty of a way of life that had been virtually unchanged for centuries. These pictures are the record of random wanderings in places where the only sound might be the distant tinkling of sheep bells, where hospitality for the stranger is a sacred tradition, and where time has stood still against a backdrop of rural simplicity and serenity. With masterly insight, Manos opened his shutter on those moments that distill the essence of character and occasion to create a series of images that are timeless in their expression of the quality of life in rural Greece. Etched into the faces he found area strength and dignity that reflect survival, honor, and continuity. The book, first published in 1972, has become a sought-after classic. For this new edition of "A Greek Portfolio", Manos has gone back into his files to find previously unpublished images that further enhance the beauty and depth of this body of work. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2025 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:43:18 -0700 60.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2011&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2011 The title to Gilden's book is taken from a statement made by Le Corbusier about New York City, in which he called the metropolis "a beautiful catastrophe". Gilden grew up in Brooklyn, making him no stranger to the city's multi-faceted nature. His photographs are of the street poet variety with his images laid out in a stream-of-consciousness-type manner. Though the sequencing follows no particular, identifiable rhythm, they reflect the meandering eye of their maker. Scattered throughout the book are apt, canny quotes, including Russell Baker ("New York is the only city in the world where you can get deliberately run down on the sidewalk by a pedestrian.") or from the Barnard College Bulletin ("The only real advantage of New York is that all its inhabitants ascend to heaven right after their deaths, having served their full term in hell right on Manhattan Island."). The photographs, made on the streets, at all times of day, reveal the human zoo that is New York. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2011 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:42:57 -0700 50.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2048&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2048 The second book by Chris Steele-Perkins on Japan, Tokyo Love Hello, offers a highly personal response to Tokyo, the city where he met and fell in love with his wife, Miyako Yamada. Following on from his first book Fuji, a document and social critique of Japan exploring the life around that great mountain, the new work sees Steele-Perkins turn his vision on the country's capital. Seen through his sharp but sympathetic eyes, Tokyo appears in many guises, calm, manic, comic, surreal, elegant and elusive. The book offers a complex layered vision: an ambiguous love song to an extraordinary city. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2048 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:41:18 -0700 65.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2002&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2002 “Satellites" is a compelling journey through unrecognized countries and isolated regions in Eastern Europe, Central Asia, the Caucasus and Siberia. In this lyrical but unsentimental collection of photographs, Jonas Bendiksen takes us into the little-known worlds of Transdniester, Abkhazia, Nagorno-Karabakh, the Ferghana Valley, the Jewish Autonomous Region, and the spaceship crash zones near the Kazakh Steppe, and in the process reveals that the narrative of the Soviet collapse continues to evolve. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2002 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:40:56 -0700 50.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2045&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2045 Stark, impassioned, and singularly intense, the work of the itinerant and fiercely independent Czech photographer, Josef Koudelka, has received deserved acclaim over the past three decades for having made a uniquely significant contribution to the language of photography. This major new monograph presents the most comprehensive survey of Koudelka's work to date, bringing together more than 150 of his most eloquent images--from his earliest, many published here for the first time, to his most recent: mesmerizing studies of the European landscape made with a panoramic camera. Whether photographing Prague's avant-garde theater scene in the 1960s, the secretive world of the Eastern European gypsies, Czech resistance to the Soviet advance on Prague, or the environmental degradation of our postindustrial world, Koudelka has consistently produced transformative images that stand outside of time and place. In the words of the legendary French photography-world figure and Koudelka's longtime champion and publisher, Robert Delpire, "Koudelka brings an intense eye and full heart to each place, object, and person. This work proves once again that he is a photographer with unique personality and power." Beautifully produced with duotone printing and three gatefolds, this volume also contains eight original essays, each exploring a different aspect of Koudelka's work and illustrating the artist's constant evolution and intensity. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2045 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:40:05 -0700 200.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2042&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2042 In Istanbul: City of a Hundred Names, Magnum photographer Alex Webb displays his particular ability to distill gesture, color and contrasting cultural tensions into a single, beguiling frame. He presents a vision of Istanbul as an urban cultural center, rich with the incandescence of its past--a city of minarets and pigeons rising to the heavens during the early-morning call to Muslim prayers--yet also a city riddled with ATM machines and clothed in designer jeans. Webb began photographing Istanbul in 1998, and became instantly enthralled: by the people, the layers of culture and history, the richness of street life. But what particularly drew him in was a sense of Istanbul as a border city, lying between Europe and Asia. "For 30-some years as a photographer, I have been intrigued by borders, places where cultures come together, sometimes easily, sometimes roughly." The resulting body of work, some of Webb's strongest to date, conveys the frisson of a culture in transition, yet firmly rooted in a complex history. With essay by the Nobel Prize winning novelist, Orhan Pamuk. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2042 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:39:40 -0700 100.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2026&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2026 "Concorde: The Last Summer" is a visual catalogue of the iconic planes' last summer in almost 100 photographs by Peter Marlow (with text by A.A. Gill). Capturing the intriguing - and sometimes amusing - behavior that Concorde could invoke in people, it also reflects in the many ways the pathos of the end of an era. As the last flight of Concorde drew near in the summer of 2003, people gathered at the end of runways and on airport terminal roofs to marvel one last time at the speed and elegance of an aircraft that aroused a passion in people from all over the world for more than thirty years. Visually striking, full of wit and emotional resonance, this book will appeal to anyone with a love of great photography and an appreciation of a plane so rare and exotic that it was always referred to in the singular - 'Concorde'. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2026 Wed, 30 May 2007 13:39:14 -0700 50.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2038&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2038 "Then Palestine" is a rich image collection from Larry Towell's seven trips to Gaza, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem from 1993-1997. At the height of the first Palestinian intifada in 1993, Towell trained his lens on Israel's displaced Arab populations living under occupation, documenting Arab-Israeli relations there over a period of five years. Conflicting lives, like disorder, violence, and even death, are the norm in Palestine; it is a part of daily life. Towell's photography, alongside poetry by the award-winning Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, tells a story of two worlds struggling to survive while somehow endeavoring to live together. (The afterward includes excerpts from the journals Towell recorded while traveling in Palestine.) http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2038 Tue, 17 Apr 2007 12:05:45 -0700 60.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2046&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2046 "Chaos" is a selection of panoramic photographs which characterize Koudelka's vision over the past ten years. These images of the landscapes of France, Greece, Lebanon or Czech Republic are strangely paradoxical: a harsh witness to the anarchy that man has imposed on nature and on himself. Koudelka's work is nevertheless highly composed in its form. Straightforward and without controversy, it exposes the absurdity of a world that has been transformed into a state of dilapidation by war, pollution and mismanagement of power. However, a few images of intact countryside are there, but, according to Robert Delpire, only as a way to remember the past. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2046 Tue, 17 Apr 2007 11:48:51 -0700 250.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=document_general_info&products_id=167&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=167 This is a test document http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=document_general_info&products_id=167 Wed, 06 Oct 2004 00:39:10 -0700 http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=47&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=47 Priced by Attributes Gift Certificates. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=47 Wed, 29 Sep 2004 20:11:51 -0700 5.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=28&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=28 Purchase a Gift Certificate today to share with your family, friends or business associates! http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=28 Sat, 10 Jan 2004 02:57:18 -0800 5.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=29&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=29 Purchase a Gift Certificate today to share with your family, friends or business associates! http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=29 Sun, 28 Dec 2003 14:51:36 -0800 10.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=32&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=32 Purchase a Gift Certificate today to share with your family, friends or business associates! http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=32 Mon, 03 Nov 2003 12:32:17 -0800 100.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=31&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=31 Purchase a Gift Certificate today to share with your family, friends or business associates! http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=31 Mon, 03 Nov 2003 12:32:17 -0800 50.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=30&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=30 Purchase a Gift Certificate today to share with your family, friends or business associates! http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=30 Mon, 03 Nov 2003 12:32:17 -0800 25.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2050&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2050 Signed book and signed platinum print in engraved aluminum box (edition of 150). The Long Fa Tang Temple in southern Taiwan is both a sanctuary and a prison for 700 mental patients. The temple administers neither medications nor treatments used in other such institutions. Instead, the Buddhist monks and nuns who oversee the patient population employ chains for therapeutic purposes. A patient in stable condition is linked and locked to one who is considered less sound. Day in and day out, the more lucid one leads the two-person chain gang. Patients typically arrive at the temple under duress. After exhausting conventional medical treatments, desperate family members see Long Fa Tang as the last resort for the incurable. In the face of harsh criticism, temple authorities maintain that, as well as alleviating the tremendous burden on families, their methods have proven successful in treating the mentally ill. http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2050 Tue, 24 Apr 2007 10:29:54 -0700 400.00 USD http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=2067&language=en http://store.magnumphotos.com/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=2067 This CD ROM presents the life and work of the Swiss photographer Werner Bischof who was an early member of Magnum Photos the world's most prestigious photographic agency.
