Twin Towers Remembered This visual essay of photographs of the
World Trade Center, starting in 1974 to the year 2000, was posible
due to recent developments on the war on terror. We give heartfelt
thanks to President Obama and his administration, for liberating me
and many others by bringing to justice the perpetrators of these
attacks. So, on the 10th anniversary we all can remember the way it
was. Photographs and introduction by visual Artist F. A. Rodriguez.
By offering a new way of thinking about the role of politically
engaged art, Susan Best opens up a new aesthetic field: reparative
aesthetics. The book identifies an innovative aesthetic on the part
of women photographers from the southern hemisphere, who against
the dominant modes of criticality in political art, look at how
cultural production can be reparative. The winner of the Art
Association of Australia and New Zealand best book award in 2017,
Reparative Aesthetics contributes an entirely new theory to the
interdisciplinary fields of aesthetics, affect studies, feminist
theory, politics and photography. Conceptually innovative and
fiercely original this book will move us beyond old political and
cultural stalemates and into new terrain for analysis and
reflection.
Sebastiao Salgado's haunting black-and-white photographs from the
GENESIS project record landscapes and people unchanged in the
devastating onslaught of modern society and development. Salgado
calls GENESIS "my love letter to the planet."

its contemporary manifestations. Through 40 interviews with and
profiles of photographers from underrepresented communities—those
of African, Asian, Latino, Native American, Pacific Islander and
Aleutian heritage, and other indigenous communities—this
collection turns on its head homogenous visual culture. Essential
reading for photography students and practitioners, this book
celebrates the diversity of the real world with fascinating
accounts of artists and the broad range of their challenges and
successes: aspirations, photo series and photobooks, earning a
living, discrimination, photography education, photographic
practice, technical conversations, and more.

Bees are a symbol of nature conservation. People all over the world
are studying their fate and the threats posed to them by human
activity and biodiversity loss. This is a stunning photographic
record captures for the first time the unique way of life of the,
forest-dwelling honey bee. A lavish, picture-led book, this is a
unique collaboration between Germany's leading bee expert, Prof. Dr
Jurgen Tautz, and one of the world's top nature photographers Ingo
Arndt, which documents a major research project into the
mysterious, hidden world of the honey bee.
This book argues that photography, with its inherent connection to
the embodied material world and its ease of transmissibility,
operates as an implicitly political medium. It makes the case that
the right to see is fundamental to the right to be. Limning the
paradoxical links between photography as a medium and the
conditions of political, social, and epistemological disappearance,
the book interprets works by African American, Indigenous American,
Latinx, and Asian American photographers as acts of political
activism in the contemporary idiom. Placing photographic praxis at
the crux of 21st-century crises of political equity and sociality,
the book uncovers the discursive visual movements through which
photography enacts reappearances, bringing to visibility erased and
elided histories in the Americas. Artists discussed in-depth
include Shelley Niro, Carrie Mae Weems, Paula Luttringer, LaToya
Ruby Frazier, Matika Wilbur, Martine Gutierrez, Ana Mendieta, An-My
Le, and Rebecca Belmore. The book makes visible the American land
as a site of contestation, an as-yet not fully recognized
battlefield.
