A timely reconsideration of the history of photography that places
Black studio photographers, and their subjects, at the center From
photography’s beginnings in the United States, Black studio
photographers operated on the developing edge of popular media to
produce affirming portraits for their clients, as well as a wide
range of photographic work rooted in their communities. Called to
the Camera offers a comprehensive history of this work, from the
nineteenth-century daguerreotypes of James Presley Ball to the
height of Black studios in the mid-twentieth century, and considers
contemporary photographers responding to Black studio traditions
today. In addition to showcasing famous photographers such as Ball,
James Van Der Zee, and Addison Scurlock, this volume brings
attention to dozens of other artists across the country, including
Florestine Perrault Collins, Austin Hansen, and Henry Clay
Anderson. The book features more than one hundred extraordinary
vintage photographs, many of them unique objects and some, like
those by the Hooks Brothers Studio, published here for the first
time. Highlighting Black subjects on both sides of the camera,
Called to the Camera presents a broader and more inclusive history
of photography. Distributed for the New Orleans Museum of Art

The expert guide to identifying and understanding the differences
of common dermatology conditions in patients with all skin tones By
2050, it is expected that over nearly half the U.S. population will
have darker skin tones or skin of color, yet physicians are still
being trained to diagnose skin conditions based on white skin.
Unfortunately, dermatologists, medical students, and other health
professionals often inaccurately diagnose skin disease in skin of
color patients due to inadequate training. The perfect
resource for comparative study of dermatologic disorders in skin of
color, Taylor and Elbuluk's Color Atlas and Synopsis for Skin of
Color helps you recognize the differences between skin of color and
Caucasian skin and provide optimal diagnosis of patients with all
skin tones. Through hundreds of color images, this unique guide
illustrates the differences in appearance of common dermatology
conditions between Fitzpatrick’s Skin Type I-III light skin tones
and Fitzpatrick’s Skin Type IV-VI dark skin tones. Taylor and
Elbuluk's provides a comprehensive look at common diseases that
fall into the following categories: Inflammatory/Papulosquamous
Disorders Infections Infestations/Bites Drug Reactions Follicular
Disorders Benign Neoplasms Malignancies Alopecias Pigmentary
Disorders Photosensitivity
In December 1982, the Centers for Disease Control received the
first reports of cases of children with HIV/AIDS. Since that time,
the child welfare system, as well as other human service
organizations, have been coping with and responding to the crises
of children and families living with HIV/AIDS, including the
considerable number of children affected by AIDS through the
illness of their parents, siblings, or other family members. This
volume is intended as a resource for personnel within the child
welfare field serving children and families whose lives are touched
by HIV and AIDS. The contributors add insight to and fuel the
discussion of the fight against AIDS. They provide tools to help
better serve the children and adolescents that the current epidemic
so tragically affects. Chapters and contributors include: "Factors
Associated with Parents' Decision to Disclose Their HIV Diagnosis
to Their Children" by Lori S. Wiener, Haven B. Battles, and Nancy
E. Heilman; "Custody Planning with HIV-Affected Families" by Sally
Mason; "Correlates and Distribution of HIV Risk Behaviors Among
Homeless Youths in New York City" by Michael C. Clatts, W. Rees
Davis, J. L. Sotheran, and Aylin Attillasoy; and "HIV Prevention
for Youths in Independent Living Programs" by Wendy F. Auslander,
Vered Slonim-Nevo, Diane Elze, and Michael Sherraden. Originally
published as a special issue of 'Child Welfare', this volume
examines lessons learned from a variety of perspectives and
settings, and identifies a number of continuing challenges facing
the field. 'Children and HIV/AIDS' is an invaluable compendium that
should be read by social workers and health specialists and all
those affected by the epidemic.

Challenging the established historiography that frames the French
picturesque garden movement as an international style, this book
contends that the French picturesque gardens from 1775 until 1867
functioned as liminal zones at the epicenter of court patronage
systems. Four French consorts-queen Marie-Antoinette and empresses
Josephine Bonaparte, Marie-Louise and Eugenie-constructed their
gardens betwixt and between court ritual and personal agency, where
they transgressed sociopolitical boundaries in order to perform
gender and identity politics. Each patron endorsed embodied
strolling, promoting an awareness of the sentient body in artfully
contrived sensoria at the Petit Trianon and Malmaison, transforming
these places into spaces of shared affectivity. The gardens became
living legacies, where female agency, excluded from the garden
history canon, created a forum for spatial politics. Beyond the
garden gates, the spatial experience of the picturesque influenced
the development of cultural fields dedicated to performances of
subjectivity, including landscape design, cultural geography and
the origination of landscape aesthetics in France.
This book examines ephemeral exhibitions from 1750 to 1918. In an
era of acceleration and elusiveness, these transient spaces
functioned as microcosms in which reality was shown, simulated,
staged, imagined, experienced and known. They therefore had a
dimension of spectacle to them, as the volume demonstrates. Against
this backdrop, the different chapters deal with a plethora of
spaces and spatial installations: the Wunderkammer, the spectacle
garden, cosmoramas and panoramas, the literary space, the temporary
museum, and the alternative exhibition space.

Carmontelle's landmark publication, Garden at Monceau, beautifully
reproduced to show the Parisian garden's artistic and cultural
importance before the French Revolution. Originally published in
1779, Garden at Monceau is a richly illustrated presentation of the
garden Louis Carrogis, known as Carmontelle, designed on the eve of
the French Revolution for Louis-Philippe-Joseph d'Orleans, duc de
Chartres. With its array of architectural follies intended to
surprise and amaze the visitor, the garden was a setting for ancien
regime social life. Carmontelle's portrayal of his work in Garden
at Monceau therefore serves as an expression of a key moment in the
history of European landscape design, garden architecture, and
social history. This facsimile edition, with its English-language
text and reproductions of the original engravings, is accompanied
by essays that interpret the landscape design and examine
Carmontelle's larger career as a painter and theater producer.
A Handbook for a Happy Home is compact, sensible advice from life's
experiences that is offered to benefit and bless homes in all
varieties. The bold bullet points throughout each chapter provide
the reader with easy access to real-life recommendations that work
in creating a happy home.
