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.
As Others See Us is based on a new photographic exhibition from
Tricia Malley and Ross Gillespie, who together form the renowned
partnership broad daylight. It forms part of Homecoming 2009,
celebrating the 250th anniversary of Robert Burns' birth. The
exhibition consists of 20 portraits of prominent and influential
Scots, including Eddi Reader, Edwin Morgan, Peter Howson and Janice
Galloway. The portraits capture a unique insight into the sitter,
enhanced by the accompanying text, as each was asked to contribute
their favourite poem from Robert Burns, and to explain why it is
special to them and what they think it means to Scots today.

In this book, Hong Kong is seen as a labyrinth, a postmodern site
of capitalist desires, and a panoptic space both homely and
unhomely. The author maps out various specific locations of the
city through the intertwined disciplines of street photography,
autoethnography and psychogeography. By meandering through the
urban landscape and taking street photographs, this form of
practice is open to the various metaphors, atmospheres and visual
discourses offered up by the street scenes. The result is a
practice-led research project informed by both documentary and
creative writing that seeks to articulate thinking via the process
of art-making. As a research project on the affective mapping of
places in the city, the book examines what Hong Kong is, as thought
and felt by the person on the street. It explores the everyday
experiences afforded by the city through the figure of the flaneur
wandering in shopping districts and street markets. Through his own
street photographs and drawing from the writings of Byung-Chul Han,
Walter Benjamin and Michel de Certeau, the author explores
feelings, affects, and states of mind as he explores the city and
its social life.

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.
Known as a beautiful Southern city and distinguished by its opulent
homes, towering church steeples and gracious hospitality,
Charleston, South Carolina, has long been associated with the
genteel side of Southern living. However, beyond the outward
appearances that most people associate with Charleston, there is
another side that most visitors and residents alike would not
believe is part of the very fabric from which the city??'s history
was woven. Wicked Charleston: The Dark Side of the Holy City, by
local resident and tour guide Mark Jones, opens the door to the
dark alleys and seedy characters not often associated with the
Charleston of today. From the sexual escapades of an original Lord
Proprietor and the comings and goings of the most notorious
pirates, to secret brothels and nightclubs, Jones leads the reader
back to a time when "drinking, eating and whoring with more than
fifty wenches" was more common in the Holy City than one may
imagine.
