A wonderland of sky, water, grass, and birdsong, the Ibera
marshlands of Corrientes Province are the preeminent wildlife
habitat in Argentina and a globally important natural treasure.
Esteros del Ibera, a landmark volume celebrating a peerless place,
invites the reader to experience this spectacle of nature. One of
the largest freshwater wetlands in South America, comprising more
than 2.5 million acres, the Ibera was forged from ancient
geological forces and the long-ago wanderings of the mighty Parana
River. Today the landscape is a locus of conservation activity
including a campaign to create a new national park to protect the
biodiversity of this striking region. Increasingly a destination
for nature lovers, the marshlands attract birdwatchers from across
the Earth, who come to see some 360 avian species that are found
here. A native son of Corrientes, world-class nature photographer
Juan Ramon Diaz Colodrero has spent years documenting the region's
birdlife and other wild creatures. In Esteros del Ibera, his
dazzling images put the reader into the heart of the Ibera's
life-affirming beauty. Supporting essays by leading regional
conservationists and other experts illuminate the Ibera's diverse
natural communities and distinctive human culture. While the area
is remarkably unspoiled, innovative conservation projects are
augmenting wildlife populations and returning missing native
species such as the giant anteater and the jaguar to their rightful
homes in the landscape of shining waters. The Ibera presents a
stark contrast to the modern world, a place where the trajectory of
land health is moving toward integrity and wildness.
"This collection of 28 oversize photographs transforms ordinary
advertising posters into richly layered tapestries." - The New York
Times The Billboard Papers is the fourth book of photography by
award-winning screen and stage actor Joel Grey. Twenty-eight
full-color photographs of various torn and decaying billboards from
the streets of New York resemble paper collages, revealing the
strange and unexpected layers of billboards past. Grey's striking
photographs are of tapestries of embedded memories - constantly
fleeting and subject to change, or demolition, or renewal. This
unique collection, designed by Sam Shahid, features an introduction
by Grey and a preface by American artist Ross Bleckner; it is
published in a limited edition of 600 numbered copies.
Autobiographical memory and photography have been inextricably
linked since the first photographs appeared during the 19th
century. These links have often been described from each other's
discipline in ways that often have led to misunderstandings about
the complex relationships between them. The Handbook of Research on
the Relationship Between Autobiographical Memory and Photography
covers many aspects of the multiple relationships between
autobiographical memory and photography such as the idea that
memory and photography can be seen as forms of mental time and the
effect photography has on autobiographical memory. Covering key
topics such as identity, trauma, and remembrance, this major
reference work is ideal for industry professionals, sociologists,
psychologists, artists, researchers, scholars, academicians,
practitioners, educators, and students.
