In 1845, Sir John Franklin commanded two ships on an expedition to
find a Northwest Passage from England through the Arctic and over
to Asia. If successful, the route would be a faster way to get
goods from Asia to Europe and back. But success was not on the
cards for Franklin’s expedition. Only recently, the sunken ships
were discovered in the icy Arctic waters. What happened to Franklin
and his men, and what messages did they leave behind?

Reissue of an acclaimed collection of images from photographer W.
Eugene Smith's time in a New York City loft among jazz musicians.
In 1957, Eugene Smith walked away from his longtime job at Life and
the home he shared with his wife and four children to move into a
dilapidated, five-story loft building at 821 Sixth Avenue in New
York City's wholesale flower district. The loft was the late-night
haunt of musicians, including some of the biggest names in
jazz-Charles Mingus, Zoot Sims, Bill Evans, and Thelonious Monk
among them. Here, from 1957 to 1965, he made nearly 40,000
photographs and approximately 4,000 hours of recordings of
musicians. Smith found solace in the chaotic, somnambulistic world
of the loft and its artists, and he turned his documentary impulses
away from work on his major Pittsburg photo essay and toward his
new surroundings. Smith's Jazz Loft Project has been legendary in
the worlds of art, photography, and music for more than forty
years, but until the publication of this book, no one had seen his
extraordinary photographs or read any of the firsthand accounts of
those who were there and lived to tell the tales.
