Mauney's masterful images depict accurate representations of time, space, and patterns among the lightning bugs illustrating the magic that occurs while we sleep.

The book is interspersed with reflections by prominent photographers David Hume Kennerly and Tim Davis as well as biophysicist Orit Peleg and Mauney himself, contextualizing Mauney's work and process among the arts and science. Mauney's in depth account of his process through Q & A, attempts to bring the reader into his experience of what it takes to capture the ethereal spirit of the firefly and share some of his first-hand observations of what he's noticed over time.

To be a skateboarder today is a much different experience than it was for much of the 1990s. The photographs, quotes, and anecdotal text in '93 til captures a time in skateboarding when making a livable income as a professional skater was a rare luxury and public understanding of skateboarding was at an all-time low. It was a time when skateboarding was searching for an identity, a time before Instagram and big corporate influences. Street skating was coming of age, testing its limitations and aligning itself with a new and innovative style of hip-hop culture that was emerging. Looking back, many skaters today feel as though the '90s were the golden years of skateboarding.

'93 til is a captivating portal into a decade and a culture that is remembered with warmth and nostalgia. Much of the photography that Pete has unearthed for '93 til was buried in boxes for close to two decades and has never been seen or published before. The 230-page book also contains several timeless images from his years shooting for SLAP and Transworld Skateboarding Magazine that will be familiar to the initiated. In addition to his stunning action shots are plenty of portraits and unguarded, candid moments that span from the late '80s up through 2004. The book reveals a raw, unapologetic perspective of a world that no longer exists.

Also included in the book alongside Pete's imagery are quotes and anecdotes from legends like Tony Hawk, Arto Saari, Jamie Thomas, Guy Mariano, Nyjah Huston, Geoff Rowley, Stevie Williams and others. Although still a working photographer, Pete moved on from his career in skate photography in 2004 and is currently living in Brooklyn.

His wholly original vision captures the vitality of urban music, arts and culture in the '90s. Often delving into the psyche of these personages for his inspiration, crafting iconic conceptual portraits that have become synonymous with the recording artists.

This book explores the unique features of sandy ground that make it so suitable for golf, studying the similarities and differences among sandy courses in a wide variety of environments. The courses of Melbourne's Sandbelt may not bear much resemblance to the fantastic sandy courses of America's Great Plains, but they actually have a great deal in common. The firm turf that is a product of free draining soils, rugged bunkers carved directly into the sandy soils, and a style of play suited to firm, often windy sites. Golf on sandy sites is a game played as much along the ground as through the air, and creative shotmaking is required to deal with the challenges of sandy terrain. The creativity required to succeed when golfing on sandy ground is a big part of the enduring popularity of these courses and the reason why people travel around the world to seek them out.

Golf on sandy terrain is something special because golf itself is a product of that terrain. Sand and Golf looks at all aspects of the relationship between sand and golf, from golf's earliest days to the spread of the sport across the globe. Golf and golf course architecture on sandy sites is explored in every detail, using examples and illustrations from the best sandy courses in the world.FEATURED GOLF COURSES: United States of America

The scenes in Site Lines: Lost New York, 1954-2022 extend from Midtown South, home of the artist from the mid-1940s to the mid-1960s, to the Upper East Side, where she and her family lived in a historic Rhinelander townhouse. Along the way she passes through Midtown, including storied Fifth Avenue and the Theater District, and the Upper West Side.

Her work includes buildings both important and unimportant that would otherwise have been lost to memory: the glorious Helen Hayes Theater, the Art Deco Horn & Hardart Automat on 57th Street, and blocks upon blocks of ordinary yet distinctive retail and commercial structures. In addition, Gill includes buildings that have themselves been quietly observing the changing city, often changing along with it: St. Bart's, the Villard Houses, and MoMA before it ate 53rd Street. Each scene is accompanied by text that blends in-depth research with first-hand observation.

Eleven female photographers capture an interconnected planet on the brink of environmental disaster in this riveting collection.... --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY STARRED REVIEW

Seeing It All goes beyond the glamorizing images of nature and wildlife that are typically shown. Here, images connect the seen to the hidden, abundance with disappearance, icebergs to indigenous portraits, animal sanctuaries and climate scientists, and heart to head.

These intrepid individuals use photography to expose how we--humans, animals, nature--are living together in these precipitous times. Each photographer provides a concise manifesto arising from their commitment to life on the planet, which is accompanied by a short profile and behind-the scenes insights into their activities.

Join Ami Vitale, Cristina Mittermeier, Suzi Eszterhas and others as they venture from Africa to the Arctic, through deep oceans to distant islands. Be witness to the last animal of its species. Delight in the birth of the next generation.

The significance and urgency of Seeing It All is expressed in the introduction by Rhonda Rubinstein, plus essays by renowned writer, historian, and activist Rebecca Solnit, and neuroscientist, writer and stage director Indre Viskontas.

Their sprawling, free-wheeling escapades changed their lives and the places they visited. While the overland route between Amsterdam and Kathmandu no longer exists, its stopovers in India--Pushkar, Rishikesh, Hampi, Goa, and the Pushkar Valley--continue to attract counterculture travelers from throughout the world. And just as the visitors have absorbed experiences and material culture, even spiritual wisdom, from their Indian hosts, so, too, have local residents learned a thing or two from their hippie guests.

During the past half century, an intense cultural intermingling has taken place in these distant locales, where lifeways, architectures, and philosophies are exchanged as freely as costumes, music, and hairstyles. This photographic book, the first of its kind, vividly captures the beguiling love affair between East and West in its portrayal of modern-day India and the free-spirited people who travel or reside there--Westerners and Indians, alike. Acclaimed essayist and travel writer Pico Iyer wrote the book foreword entitled The Long Strange Trip.

#BIDENWON: The Art of Recovery depicts the political landscape that shaped the first term of President Joseph R. Biden.

With tongue planted firmly in cheek, award-winning author illustrator Cathy Hull wittily writes and scathingly draws her own conclusions as she takes readers image by image through four years of pivotal events and watershed moments during the Biden administration. Depictions include the 2020 election, the Jan. 6 attack on Congress and unprecedented! unpresidented [sic, Trump] impeachments, indictments, trials, and the tsunami of unintended consequences in the wake of the former guy and his MAGA movement.

No one escapes scrutiny. Hull targets both sides of the aisle and the Supreme Court. There's an all-inclusive cast of characters--heroes, bullies, and victims alike. Joe Biden, Nancy Pelosi, Mitch McConnell, Chuck Schumer, Ted Cruz, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Liz Cheney, Adam Kinzinger, Rudy Giuliani, Lindsay Graham, Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas. And yes, of course, Donald John Trump.

In a nutshell, Donald Trump stands by all the misstatements and threats he has made. Constitution be damned. Joseph Biden is nostalgic about the future and endless possibilities. Still, putting country over ego and personal ambition, President Joseph R. Biden ended his fifty-year plus tale of reversal and resilience, dropped his bid for reelection, passed the torch and enthusiastically endorsed his running mate, Kamala Harris-- the first female, Black and South Asian American to serve as vice president-- to replace him atop the ticket. She's off and running. Intent on finishing the job, Joe remains laser-focused on governing and delivering an ambitious big goal to-do list in his remaining time in office.

The simple act of twisting a balloon for a complete stranger can make people instant friends. This idea animated balloon artist Addi Somekh and photographer Charlie Eckert to improvise balloon crowns for unsuspecting people throughout thirty-five countries and document their reactions. Part photography book, part sociological study, part spontaneous party, Inflatable Planet chronicles features of over two hundreds photos from this international experiment in joy.

Beloved Ukraine offers a glimpse into this country before the recent conflict, as captured through the lens of National Geographic Society photographer, Paul Chesley, over the course of several years. Beloved Ukraine is a tribute to this enigmatic country and its people.

Arthur Miller commanded Attention must be paid and in these meticulously observed images, the artist does exactly that.

His middle American subjects have been buffeted by a sea of troubles, sometimes of their own causing. Jerins brilliantly and movingly captures friends and family members at a moment when all denial has been stripped away. There is no irony here, no flippant art world in-jokes, no smug condescension and certainly no sentimentality. Jerins shows us the redemptive power of suffering, the quiet heroism of the American spirit, and our refusal to give up no matter the odds against us.

The difficulties his subjects have with relationships, money, health, aging, substance abuse, violence, and death are part of the human condition that we Americans all know too well.

With unflinching honesty and the kind of empathy only known by fellow travelers, Edgar Jerins brings a new realism to American art. His art is not just about life, it is life.

We invite you to sit back, maybe with a cup of hot Chamomile tea, and indulge in these images--taking the time to truly see these flowers, and to appreciate their inherent majesty.

John Rodrigues takes an old lens and new camera and gives us a new look at an old photographic subject.

Many chose to avoid or leave behind the comforts of married life at a time when marriage provided the primary source of financial security for a woman. Each of them surmounted the challenges they encountered in order to pursue their dreams. I hope their true stories inspire you, and I invite you to continue documenting and recording whatever is most important in your life through the ever-evolving tool of photography, just as these women did before you.

Seleen Saleh's photographs reveal individuality, fearlessness, and creativity in the most vibrant beings who collectively represent street style. This style is as varied as the people; it is a personal expression that changes day to day. It is an expression of a person's culture, mood, influences, and aesthetics. Street style originated in the street where top designers look for inspiration for their next collections. The book preserves the integrity of street style and features some of the muses that have been forgotten or were never acknowledged.

In the book Seleen combines photographs from her work at Essence Magazine with new images of jaw-dropping, creative and colorful moments. As a lover of fashion, art, and people, Seleen brings out the authentic nature of these known and unknown muses. Each person depicted here can be considered a brilliant artist in his or her own right. These portraits were taken in New York City--the perfect global destination--diverse and open and where people are not afraid to tell you who they are. There is an underfed audience for this book; the world is waking up and wants to see more diversity and more eclectic styles.

This captivating collection of photo collages transcends the still life, weaving lush close-ups of flowers, fruits, vegetables, and sculpture with fragments of poetry. Each meticulously crafted image unfolds like a hidden world, inviting you to see something completely new each time you look at it. With her trademark eye for whimsy and unexpected juxtapositions, Patricia Z. Smith uses a playful exploration of nature's abundance to create a unique memoir--walking us through the way she sees the world.

Traveling on foot and by bike to avoid public transportation, Peterson took more than 400 photographs of over 200 locations in Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Queens through the spring and summer of 2020. Using his iPhone 11, he captured myriad surreal landmarks--the United Nations Secretariat with no traffic, people, or flags, Grand Central Terminal without a person or even a car in sight, as well as gelled neighborhood streets, churches, shops, and other tourist destinations.

Without people, these photos reveal the city's primeval soul. They unveil a serene beauty most often obscured by the frenzy of our fast-paced lives. We see New York with new eyes. The first reaction to Gregory Peterson's poised, chilled shots of New York City is: Must be trick photography. He's Photoshopped the people out--or else a sunny daylight in--in what must have been shots from the dead of night. But no: This is the capital of the world in lockdown. One has to go to de Chirico's imaginary metaphysical paintings of Italian cities to find such radical depopulation. --David Cohen, editor, Artcritical.com

During the height of the lockdown, Peterson also captures the city's response to swelling Black Lives Matter protests that shook the world after the killing of George Floyd. For the first time in living memory, midtown Manhattan and other areas were boarded up following Memorial Day due to fears of civil unrest as, documented in the chapter Plywood New York.

New York: Stilled Life is a comprehensive record of a unique, vanished moment; a memento of a time we all endured and how it changed us and our cities--perhaps forever.
