Sacred Shanghai by photographer and anthropologist Liz Hingley,
explores the spaces, rituals and communities - in official,
unofficial, public and private forms - that together weave the
spiritual fabric of China's largest and most cosmopolitan city.
After decades of suppression during the Mao era, China has been
undergoing one of the great religious revivals of our time.
Unsettled by the pace of development and globalisation, millions
are turning to faith for meaning and hope in the alienating mega
cities that now dominate Chinese life.
A classic reference work now fully revised for a second edition,
Photography combines how-to information with inspiring examples to
illustrate techniques that readers can immediately apply to their
own work, whether in color or black and white. An all-new chapter
on digital photography, plus an in-depth look at the world of
commercial photography, make this edition a "must-have" primer and
reference for beginning through intermediate students, amateurs,
and aspiring professionals.
In February 2016, Rachel Swarms, Darcy Eveleigh, Damien Cave, and
Dana Canedy discovered dozens of photographs--and explored the
history behind them--and chronicled them in the popular blog series
Unpublished Black History. The month-long series was overwhelmingly
well-received and garnered 1.7 million views and thousands of
comments from readers. This book dives even deeper in the Times
photo archives--known as the Morgue--to showcase 120 more
photographs and their untold stories. The never-before-published
photographs include a 27-year-old Jesse Jackson leading a rally of
4,000 people in Chicago, Rosa Parks arriving at a Montgomery
Courthouse, and a candid behind-the-scenes shot of Aretha Franklin
backstage at the Apollo Theater. Were the photos--or the people in
them--not deemed newsworthy enough? Did the images not arrive in
time for publication? Were they pushed aside by words at an
institution long known as the Gray Lady? Swarms, Eveleigh, Cave,
and Canedy explore all these questions and more in this
one-of-a-kind book.

influx of outsiders and changing community dynamics.
THE BOOK BEHIND THE HIT CHANNEL 5 DOCUMENTARY
A glimpse of life inside the world’s most secretive country, as told by Britain’s best-loved travel writer.
In May 2018, former Monty Python stalwart and intrepid globetrotter Michael Palin spent two weeks in the notoriously secretive Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, a cut-off land without internet or phone signal, where the countryside has barely moved beyond a centuries-old peasant economy but where the cities have gleaming skyscrapers and luxurious underground train stations. His resulting documentary for Channel 5 was widely acclaimed.
Now he shares his day-by-day diary of his visit, in which he describes not only what he saw – and his fleeting views of what the authorities didn’t want him to see – but recounts the conversations he had with the country’s inhabitants, talks candidly about his encounters with officialdom, and records his musings about a land wholly unlike any other he has ever visited – one that inspires fascination and fear in equal measure.
Written with Palin’s trademark warmth and wit, and illustrated with beautiful colour photographs throughout, the journal offers a rare insight into the North Korea behind the headlines.
A glimpse into the development of the American West through
startling photographs of the frontier landscape and the rich
culture of American Indian tribes Best known for his Civil War
photographs, Alexander Gardner (1821-1882) also created two
extraordinary bodies of work depicting the transformation of the
American West: Across the Continent on the Kansas Pacific Railway
and Scenes in the Indian County. In 1867, after joining the survey
team for what became the Kansas Pacific Railroad, Gardner
photographed the path of the proposed extension, emphasizing the
ease of future railroad construction and economic development,
while including studies of American Indians and settlements along
the way. The following year, Gardner recorded peace talks with
Indian tribes at Fort Laramie, Wyoming. Distinctly sympathetic to
the plight of the American Indian, Gardner made candid
documentation of individual chiefs, their encampments and daily
life, burial trees, and the peace proceedings themselves. With a
full catalogue raisonne of these two rare series, Alexander Gardner
offers a complete visual index of these remarkable photographs,
made at a critical moment in the history of the American West.
