In December 1531 on the hill of Tepeyac in what is present-day
Mexico City an Indian named Juan Diego beheld an apparition of the
Mother of God. With the attire and features of an Indian maiden and
addressing Juan Diego in his native tongue she instructed him to
tell the bishop to build a shrine on that spot. As a sign she left
her image on his cloak - the miraculous image of Our Lady of
Guadalupe. Drawing on a lifetime of reflection Father Virgil
Elizondo has written Guadalupe, an account of the story and meaning
of one of the most powerful religious symbols of our day. For
centuries Guadalupe has served as one of the sustaining symbols of
Mexican, Latin American, and U.S. Hispanic identity and
spirituality. But more than that, in this lyrical and inspiring
work Elizondo shows that Our Lady of Guadalupe has an even wider
significance and relevance to the church universal at the dawn of a
new millennium.

Britain's love of its pleasure beaches gave rise to a peculiar
holiday culture - the seaside. Here a usually reserved nation would
let its hair down, roll up its trousers, put on a kiss-me-quick hat
and laugh at bawdy entertainers. From Victorian sobriety and
Edwardian elegance through working-class high spirits to the
present day, this book celebrates the place that the seaside holds
in all our hearts. PA Photos is the photography arm of the PA
Group, which also owns the Press Association, the UK's national
news agency. Established in the late 19th Century, the PA has been
capturing editorial photography for 140 years, resulting in an

life over more than a century.

Since 1955, the annual World Press Photo Contest has set the
standard in visual journalism. The 2023 Yearbook showcases the most
striking press photographs and compelling reports from 2022,
carefully selected from thousands of entries by six regional and
one global jury of acclaimed independent professionals. Providing a
diversity of perspectives from all over the world, the awarded
works bear witness to the events that shaped this past year, and
document in long-term projects the ongoing issues we face.
Recognizing the importance of photojournalism and documentary
photography at a time, when the truth is contsted, the awarded

This major work presents a remarkable sequence of photo-stories
from pioneering photo agency VII, documenting world history as we
have experienced it since the end of the Cold War. The 11
extraordinarily talented photographers who make up this agency work

recording social and cultural change as it happens around the
world.
"Questions Without Answers" is an ambitious book featuring a
strikingly broad selection of photo stories. Photos documenting
Barack Obama giving a speech on Afghanistan to American troops sit
alongside a collection of portraits featuring famous cultural
figures such as David Bowie and Bernardo Bertolucci. We move from
an exploration of the spread and impact of AIDS in Asia to
dispatches from the current economic crisis and its effect on those
working in finance. The crucial work done by VII in documenting
conflict - environmental, social and political, both violent and
non-violent - is also represented, including stories from the war
in Iraq, the crisis in Darfur and the terrible events of 9/11.
With an introduction by the eminent David Friend, "Vanity Fair"'s
editor of creative development and the former director of
photography of "Life" magazine, this book is an important, moving
and compelling record of the world we live in.
