Twenty of Gerald and Marc Hoberman's most compelling images of
Washington, D.C. are collected in this incredible full-color
postcard book. The book includes photographs of all the major
monuments: Washington, Lincoln, and Jefferson, as well as important
landmarks such as the Capitol Building, the White House, and
Arlington National Cemetery. Micro perforations make the postcards
easy to remove and send to friends and family, but these colorful
books also make great souvenirs of a trip to the U.S. capital city.
The picturesque vineyards of California's Napa Valley, one of the
world's premier tourist destinations, disguise a tangled history of
lawlessness, depravity and frontier justice. Some crimes were
committed over debts, some for retribution and others in the name
of love. Famed photographer Eadweard Muybridge killed a man for
seducing his wife but was acquitted. Other criminals were not so
lucky and met the gallows, like murderer William Roe, the state's
final public execution. From the Pomo massacre--the first criminal
case heard by the California Supreme Court--to the cold cases that
continue to haunt the region, Napa Police Detective Todd Shulman
decants the crimes of the Napa Valley, memorializing the victims
and honoring the efforts of local law enforcement.

Between the 1933 Nazi seizure of power and their 1941 prohibition
on all Jewish emigration, around 90,000 German Jews moved to the
United States. Using the texts and images from a personal archive,
this Palgrave Pivot explores how these refugees made sense of that
experience. For many German Jews, theirs was not just a story of
flight and exile; it was also one chapter in a longer history of
global movement, experienced less as an estrangement from
Germanness, than a reiteration of the mobility central to it.
Private photography allowed these families to position themselves
in a context of fluctuating notions of Germaness, and resist the
prescribed disentanglement of their Jewish and German identities.
In opening a unique window onto refugees' own sense of self as they
moved across different geographical, political, and national
environments, this book will appeal to readers interested in Jewish
life and migration, visual culture, and the histories of National
Socialism and the Holocaust.
