Artist Peter Wise pairs sixty of his evocative paintings of the ocean and its surfers with personal anecdotes and observations from surf-lovers around the world. Reproduced in brilliant full-colour, these breathtaking paintings capture the essence of surfing-from the deep blue depths of het ocean to the riotous movements of the surfers themselves. These stunning images are sure to inspire anyone who understands surfing as a metaphor for life and personal expression. From the earliest mention of it in Captain Cook's Journals in 1779 to the recent article in The New York Times - where surfboards provided a moment of collaboration between the Palestinians and the Jews - the surf has always been a source of inspiration, and not just for surfers, beach lovers, sailing aficionados, or nature lovers. In Surf, artist Peter Wise pairs 60 of his collectable and evocative, powerful small paintings of the surf with anecdotes from surf-lovers and aficionados around the world. Whether professional surfing legends, like Buzzy Kerbox, to surfing journalists or even businessmen who are surfers at heart - the artist puts side-by-side the inspiring beauty of the waves with stories from the people who know them best. Here is a book sure to inspire surf-lovers and anyone who understands surfing to be a metaphor of personal expression. The surfing world has long been embraced by mainstream pop culture, thanks to a plethora of films like Blue Crush and iconic documentaries like The Endless Summer; and youth culture itself. Even people who don't surf like to endear themselves to the kind of qualities that describe surfers: adventurous, strong-willed, curious, independent, risk-taking individuals. Beyond surfers themselves, this miniature artbook will find a wide audience among aficionados of music, fashion, business, and art - as well as those who love to ride the waves.

Arbeitslosigkeit ist ein gro es Problem. Ein hoher Prozentsatz aller Arbeitskrlifte ist arbeitslos; bestimmte Gruppen wie Frauen, Junge, Alte, Personen ohne Schul-oder Berufsabschlu sind von der Arbeitslosigkeit besonders betroffen. In manchen Berufszwei- gen ist die Arbeitslosigkeit besonders hoch, in anderen Berufs- zweigen herrscht ein Mangel an Arbeitskraften. In manchen Jah- ren ist die Arbeitslosigkeit sehr hoch, in anderen Jahren wiederum ist sie sehr niedrig. Einige Lander kennen das Problem der Ar- beitslosigkeit praktisch nicht, in anderen Landern dagegen besteht anhaltend ein hohes Niveau an Arbeitslosigkeit. Historisch wech- selten Perioden mit geringer Arbeitslosigkeit ab mit Perioden, in denen Massenarbeitslosigkeit herrschte. Warum ist dies so? Manche Leute haben flir alle diese Tatsachen eine einfache Er- klarung: Der Lohn ist zu hoch, und schuld sind die Gewerkschaf- ten. Besteht eine allgemeine Arbeitslosigkeit, so sagen diese Leu- te, das Lohnniveau sei zu hoch; d Junge, Alte, Frauen und Per- sonen ohne Abschlu von der Arbeitslosigkeit besonders betrof- fen sind, liege daran, d die Lohne dieser Personengruppen rela- tiv zu den Lohnen der Beschaftigten zu hoch seien; sind in man- chen Berufszweigen liberdurchschnittlich' viele Personen arbeits- los, so sind eben deren Lohne zu hoch: Eine Lohnsenkung - und alle Arbeitslosigkeit ist vergessen. So einfach ist das. Andere Leute sehen die Ursac4e der Arbeitslosigkeit darin, d wir zu viele Gastarbeiter haben, -tt . . arbeitswilligen Inlandern den Arbeitsplatz wegschnappen (und dabei natlirlich den Preis, sprich: den Lohn, verderben): Ein Gastarbeiterstopp - und alles ist in Ordnung.

The first print edition of this book is now a cult classic. The author is a highly respected photographer within popular culture, with a diverse following. The book is the first to document the American punk scene to the public at large and now represents the epitome of the scene at the time. Features photographs of artistic and performance luminaries such as Man Ray, Tennessee Williams, Mick Jagger, Patti Smith, Richard Hell, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, David Bowie, Zandra Rhodes, Divine, Lance Loud, and Marilyn Chambers, among others. With the publication of his seminal 1977 book, White Trash, Christopher Makos burst on to the photography scene and made a name for himself as the first photographer to record the convergence of the "uptown" and "downtown" worlds, as Debbie Harry fondly remembers. This raw, beautiful volume chronicled the punk scene as it came of age on the streets of New York. Interspersed in the mix are portraits of boldface names, including Andy Warhol, Man Ray, Tennessee Williams, Halston, John Paul Getty III, Mick Jagger, David Bowie, Grace Jones, Patti Smith, Richard Hell, Tom Verlaine, Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, Zandra Rhodes, Divine, Lance Loud, and Marilyn Chambers, among others. While the first book was a throwaway, this version, produced some forty years later, is being presented as an extremely collectable art book, now recognised as a classic in the world of pop culture photo photography.
