"Dramatic and startling" -- The Guardian. Witness Barack Obama as
you've never seen him before -- as feminist, communist, fashion
model, Jew, Muslim terrorist, Messiah, Superman, George Washington,
President Roosevelt, Julius Caesar and Hindu deity Lord Shiva.
Obama: 101 Best Covers shows America's ex-president in all these
guises and more, on the front pages of the world's leading print
publications. NEW BARACK PHOTO BIOGRAPHY During his two terms in
the White House, former US President Barack Obama amassed more
newspaper and magazine covers than any other in history. This new
post-presidency legacy book brings you the best 101 examples from
around the world, in a special commemorative edition celebrating
the startling event that was the 2008 election of America's first
African American leader. It presents a unique visual biography of
the background and accomplishments of his historic presidential
campaign. OBAMA & NEW YORK TIMES Featured titles within this
definitive collection include Time, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Vogue,
Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Esquire, Ebony, Essence, Vibe, The
Guardian and The New York Times, amongst others. Many of the covers
featuring the 44th US president were flattering. He never looked
better than when he featured on the front of The New York Times or
Rolling Stone. (See pages 40 and 69 of the Obama book). DREAMS OF
AUDACITY & HOPE Many Barack Obama biography and legacy books
have been written by different authors in recent years. His
autobiography, Dreams Of My Father, as well as his memoir, The
Audacity Of Hope, detail Obama's life story better than any
biography by another author could, while the photographic portraits
offered in Obama books by Pete Souza and Peter Baker reveal the
intimate access they had to the White House's first African
American president during his two administrations. But this new
legacy book enters the Barack Obama story in 2004 with his very
first cover, for Black Enterprise, and then tracks Obama's US
presidential campaigns and elections of 2008 and 2012 through a
further 100 amazing covers. THE CALL OF HISTORY 2008 Amongst the
print media, Barack Obama was a publishing sensation - a fact borne
out by the volume of covers his portrait graced during his
eight-year American presidency. They range from graphic
illustrations to photographs of Obama giving speeches while on the
campaign trail, right through to intimate studio portraits. Many
depict him as the chosen one, the Messiah even. Obama was the one
who, out of the many, answered the call of history many thought
would never come, while exercising power that no other African
American leader before him has ever wielded on the political and
presidential stage. OBAMA: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT IN WORDS The text
for the Obama covers book discusses the design, typography,
photography and political context of each cover portrait, bringing
to life this unique portrait of the world's most famous man.

FOUR collectable editions, each with a different cover. As a
souvenir, gift or inspirational Black History Month purchase for

Pierre Gonnord (born 1963) has photographed prisoners, monks,
geishas, urban gangs, the mentally ill and ethnic minorities,
always seeking to capture human essence in elegant portraiture.
This volume compiles some of the most captivating portraits by the
photographer in a revised edition featuring new photographs.
This series of portraits by Isaac Hernandez honors social, cultural
and sustainability leaders, ranging from community activists to
internationally known figures. They share a universal drive to make
a difference, with unique expressions. These portraits, an ongoing
passion project spanning more than a decade, were taken to
accompany published interviews with these fascinating champions.
This collection of inspiring leaders is an open and expanding
investigation of contribution, an offering to acknowledge the
possibly infinite. Ordinary people accomplish the extraordinary,
including those who formed an integral core for the birth of a
global movement: Selma Rubin, Paul Rellis, Marc McGinnes, and Bud
Bottoms, who participated to launch Earth Day in Santa Barbara,
protect the last stretch of empty coastline in California (the
Gaviota Coast), develop the concept and study of environmental law,
and create a host of nonprofits. These sustainability pioneers
share pages with leaders like Andy Lipkis (TreePeople), Michael
Pollan (author, Food Rules), Sylvia Earle (oceanographer), Paul
Erlich (author The Dominant Animal), Roberta Salazar (Birds and
Rivers), and Harold Powell (Telios Environmental), as well as
better known personalities, like authors Amy Tan, Isabel Allende,
and Gore Vidal, actors Javier Bardem, Antonio Banderas and Will
Smith, and Archbishop Desmond Tutu.

In 1947 and 1948, Van Johnson was MGM's top male box office draw.
"On screen he was the Pied Piper; Elizabeth Taylor's lover, he was
a war pilot with Spencer Tracy," writes his friend and decorator
Carleton Varney in the introduction for Van Johnson's Hollywood: A
Family Album. Along the way, his wife, Evie Wynn Johnson, an
amateur shutterbug captured behind-the-scenes images of their
friends some of Hollywood's most famous stars, such as Gary Cooper,
Judy Garland, and Humphrey Bogart on the road, on the set, around
the pool, and at their Hollywood home. She put together these
casual and candid images in a family album that has never been
published before. Their daughter, Schuyler adds her memories to
this unique document of Hollywood's Golden Age.
