The forest rises a hundred feet tall, full of life, and a layered complexity stretches far beyond the horizon. Forests, grasslands, rivers, and lagoons form a unique landscape mosaic. There is no place like it on Earth.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;     Gabon has a story to tell. Its landscapes inspire explorers and scientists with a forest-to-ocean fabric rich in biological diversity. Expeditions are unlocking a treasure chest of knowledge on biology and ecology--the science behind conservation. Unprecedented biodiversity studies are discovering a wealth of species, including several new to science.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;     In this updated edition of the classic original, photographs by Carlton Ward Jr. and essays by leaders in conservation and biodiversity bring light to the unseen wonders of Gabon, from its smallest creatures to its broadest landscapes to the people who call it home.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

It was a photograph he conceived for himself, without an editorial assignment. It is the incomparable &amp;ldquo;Girls in the Windows&amp;rdquo; of 1960.&lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Girls in the Windows: And Other Stories&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is the first book to survey the work of Ormond Gigli and looks behind the fa&amp;ccedil;ade of that extraordinary photograph to understand its genesis and to celebrate its beauty and pathos as well as to open the window onto the rest of Gigli&amp;rsquo;s brilliant career. The book focuses primarily on Gigli&amp;rsquo;s celebrity and fashion photographs and on his work in the theater, film, and dance worlds, but it also offers examples of his travel photography and straight photojournalism. Gigli was a master of his medium and was always able to get his shot, managing his shoots&amp;mdash;and subjects&amp;mdash;like a film director. His portraits are intimate and revealing, while also often inventive and at times even playful. He consistently achieved a compelling complicity with his subjects, among whom are included Sophia Loren, Gina Lollobrigida, Anna Moffo, Anita Ekberg, Marcel Duchamp, Willem de Kooning, John F. Kennedy, Halston, Diana Vreeland, Marlene Dietrich, Leslie Caron, Judy Garland, Liza Minnelli, Barbra Streisand, Laurence Olivier, Alan Bates, Richard Burton, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, and many more. &lt;br&gt; &amp;nbsp;&lt;br&gt; Many of these images have not been widely seen since they were first published decades ago. In addition to the photographs, Gigli contributes his personal account of the making of many of the pictures, evoking long-ago encounters that resulted in such timeless images. This handsome volume highlights a significant body of work, captures a vital aspect of the great age of photojournalism, and places in context an iconic image of the postwar era at the height of its prosperity and on the verge of transformation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Fascinating to animal lovers, environmentalists, and all lovers of cats, big and small.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;National Geographic presents a testament to these noble, yet deeply endangered tigers. Photographing the big cats' primary habitats in India, Sumatra, and Thailand, Steve Winter gets up close and personal with tigers in their most private moments, both tender and terrifying. He tells the story in pictures and words of how he came to be one of the world's foremost advocates for this iconic animal. Partnering with Panthera, an international big cat advocacy group, Winter is able to weave in the voices of committed people from around the world who dedicate their lives to saving the tiger from extinction, and the inspiring tales of top conservationists; their concerns over the future of tigers; and their solutions, including hard work, community involvement, and indigenous cooperation in India, Sumatra, and Thailand. With more than 120 images of tigers in the wild and real encounters, this book is a page-turner and an inspiration to all who care about protecting the wild.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

Over the course of two years, Katrina Fried has interviewed and written  the stories of 50 extraordinary teachers from kindergarten through 12th  grade, selected from public and charter schools across the United  States. The result is a collection of inspiring and informative first  person-narratives accompanied by heartfelt letters from students and  captivating portraits taken by celebrated photographers from around the  country such as Peter Feldstein, Roman Cho, Paul Natkin and Laura  Straus.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;American Teacher introduces us to classroom heroes like  Stephen Ritz of NYC's South Bronx, who uses sustainable agriculture as a  tool to engage and inspire his neighborhood's most at-risk  special-needs students; Rafe Esquith, a trail-blazing,  multi-award-winning educator and author, who has spent 31years teaching  5th grade from within the same four walls at Hobart Elementary School in  Los Angeles; and Iowan Sarah Brown Wessling who's unique  &quot;learner-centered&quot; approach to teaching high school English earned her  the 2010 National Teacher of the Year award. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;These are our most  unsung heroes, the men and women responsible for molding and preparing  our children to meet the challenges of the 21st century. In the face of  increasing class sizes, insufficient resources, and budget cuts, many of  our teachers are dipping into their own pockets and personal time to  bridge the gap for their students; they are finding innovative and  engaging solutions to institutional problems and changing the outcome of  countless lives in the process. Hear their stories, see their faces,  and join us as we pay tribute to their passion and sacrifice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

      <content type="text/html">&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9781576876572&quot;&gt;&lt;img align=&quot;right&quot; src=&quot;http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/catalog_cover.pperl?9781576876572&quot; border=&quot;1&quot;/&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9781576876572&quot;&gt;The Book of Dolores&lt;/a&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;b&gt;Written by&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.randomhouse.com/author/results.pperl?authorid=126357&quot;&gt;William T. Vollmann&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hardcover&lt;/b&gt;, 200 pages | powerHouse Books | Photography - Portraits; Social Science - Gender Studies | &lt;b&gt;$45.00&lt;/b&gt; | 978-1-57687-657-2 (1-57687-657-8)&lt;p&gt;William T. Vollmann has travelled to Soviet-occupied Afghanistan with Islamic commandos, shivered out a solitary stretch at the North Magnetic Pole in winter, hopped freight trains, studied the stately ancient beauties of Japanese Noh theater, and made friends with street prostitutes all over the world&amp;mdash;all in the interest of learning a little more about life. Now in his mid-fifties, Vollmann sets out on what may well be impossible for a heterosexual genetic male: to envision himself as a woman. In these photographs, block prints, and watercolor drawings, he portrays his alter ego, Dolores, with whimsicality, and sometimes with cruelty&amp;mdash;for Dolores would like to be attractive, or at least to &amp;ldquo;pass,&amp;rdquo; but the ageing male body in which she remains confined requires lowered expectations. Meanwhile, the drawings and block prints, composed with the artist&amp;rsquo;s glasses off, show Dolores as she imagines herself to be. &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The Book of Dolores&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; brings the genre of self-portraits to a new level of vulnerability and bravery. In the process, it offers virtuoso performances of nineteenth, twentieth, and twenty-first-century photographic techniques, including the seductively difficult gum bichromate method. Each section of the book is accompanied by an essay on motives and techniques.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

The photographs span the many battlefronts throughout the world: from the British Isles to the south Atlantic, across Europe and the Ottoman Empire, Sudan and East Africa, Jerusalem and Damascus. Here are soldiers from across the globe, vast battleships, dirigibles overhead, the streets of London, the first battle of Ypres, German submarines at sea, the beaches of Gallipoli, the battle of Jutland, the battle of the Somme trenches, and much, much more.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>

I disagree. I think art is all the more important here. Art has the power to inspire, to spark conversation, and to bring joy &amp;mdash; showcasing these images in public areas where Afghans can enjoy art for art's sake, and be proud of the beauty and spirit of their country.&quot; &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;After an extremely successful tour in the United States, the Streets of Afghanistan project returned to Afghanistan, to give the exhibit's subjects an opportunity to see themselves in a new light. Impressive and captivating on both sides of the world, Streets of Afghanistan collects both the photographs and the cultural import of a misunderstood region into one visually striking book. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Looking at the photographs, it is easy to immerse yourself in a culture which was previously unknown to many Western audiences. In the pages of this inspiring book, readers will find themselves being led through the beautiful vistas of Afghanistan, introduced to its people, and exposed to their joys and their sorrows &amp;mdash; all through these incredible photographs. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;Streets of Afghanistan&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is more than just a book or a photo album; it is an opportunity to expand your horizons and learn about our brothers across the world.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br clear=&quot;all&quot;&gt;</content>
