The Nansen Photographs tells the story of Norwegian Arctic explorer Fridtjof Nansen and his ground-breaking effort to reach the North Pole in the specially-designed polarship Fram. The story starts when the plan for the expedition was launched in 1890 and continues until the end of Nansen's international lecture tour in 1897. We see how Nansen selected the cameras for the expedition, and photographs and information about the cameras themselves supplement this part. One chapter is dedicated to the early life of Nansen and another shows how the ideas for the expedition and the ship developed. We follow the construction of Fram through numerous letters between Nansen and the ship's designer and builder, Colin Archer, and five different sets of drawings of the vessel from the initial proposal to the final version are presented. The main elements of the book are every single recovered photograph taken during the expedition together with personal diary entries from Nansen and seven of his crew members about the situation when the photographs were taken. This brings new life to previously known photographs and introduces the reader to hundreds of unknown photographs from the expedition. Due to the large format of the book, the smaller details in the photographs give new insight into the work and daily life on board, the equipment and the clothing. Opposing diary entries from Nansen and the men about the same situations show that life on board was not always easy. Nansen's lack of empathy and practical skills caused frustration among the men, and several of them resorted to fists to sort out their differences. When Nansen leaves the ship for his legendary 18 month journey with Hjalmar Johansen towards the North Pole and Franz Josef Land, we follow both Nansen and Johansen and the crew left on board through their photographs and diaries. The return to Norway and the spectacular celebration along the entire Norwegian coast from Vardø in the north to K

In The Image Business, Steve Powell's autobiography lifts the lid on the development of sports photography and photojournalism. With a no holds barred account of his life as a working photographer and business innovator, he tells of covering world-beating sporting successes and occasional failures, and of how he built the Allsport Photographic agency into an industry leader that made him a millionaire."The authors' experiences are so vast and often outrageous that it's easy to forget that this is a true story." L Lemay.He has worked with everyone from world beating powerboat racers to Olympic greats such as Seb Coe and Daley Thompson. Muhammad Ali, Bjorn Borg, Seve Ballesteros and Diego Maradona have all been his subjects during a lifetime of capturing iconic images."In a book market full of often told stories, this is a unique and compelling read." MarcoVB.Unique insights into the athletes and administrators who shaped sport over thirty years could only come from a true insider. He gives a fascinating and fast-paced narrative of a career that began on the gritty streets of London and took him to every global arena where sport is played, working with every major publication and sponsor as he developed ways to help them deliver their messages.· "This book is right up there with Phil Knight's "Shoe Dog"." AnonymousPowell reveals the struggles of an emerging independent agency as it fought to gain recognition, how it helped break the union stranglehold on Fleet Street and established Allsport and its photographers as the go-to source for all that was best in the emerging sports photography industry.· "This is a thoroughly entertaining book and, I believe, an important one." R Bundy.Follow his riveting personal narrative as he describes how he overcame personality clashes that almost brought the agency to its knees and how riding the tide of advancing technologies helped create a unique business model. Always just one step ahead of the opposition, his career mirrors how he harnessed fast moving changes in the industry to create his own unique place in sports media history."(The author) has you feeling as if you are right there living it alongside him." Anonymous.This is the story of the man who built the world's biggest and most famous sports photography business and under whose guidance, became the first official photographer to the International Olympic Committee and worked with every major sporting organisation, governing body and athlete in Europe, and North America."A truly inspiring read, by a truly inspiring guy. His life, his travels keep you reading until the end. What a life, great read." J Tilley.Finally, the book traces with engaging candour his learning curve in preparing the company for sale, turning the business of capturing images into capitalising images as a business. The buyer was Mark Getty and guided by Powell, Allsport became a bedrock in the rapidly emerging Getty Images and made Powell more successful than he could have imagined.

The public art in Atlanta includes a broad range of media, subjects, styles, and artistic merit. Statuary and figurative sculpture, often in bronze, memorialize historic individuals, while contemporary sculpture includes large-scale abstract works in stone, stainless or weathering steel, and other materials. Street artists and muralists have created more than 1,000 urban murals throughout the city, including large and colorful abstract canvases, with thematic subjects referencing sports, nature, social issues, the city's African American and Hispanic communities, and Atlanta's leadership in the civil rights movement. Some guerrilla artists began as traffickers of graffiti who tagged buildings, railroad boxcars, and underpasses, creating iconic compilations such as the Krog Street Tunnel. Street art styles embrace photo-realism, abstract expressionism, or folk, op, or pop art, with the latter inspired by fantasy, comic-strip graphics, or Goth. Native Atlantan Alex Brewer (also known as HENSE) has executed commissions from Peru to Australia, while artists from Barcelona, Rome, and Zimbabwe have contributed to Atlanta's status as an international city.

Milwaukee is often described as a big small town, and its quirky character stems from its many neighborhoods--each with its own stories to tell. Early territorial disputes, for example, led to the horribly (or humorously) misaligned streets of downtown. The city's signature rectangular pizza was born in the Third Ward. In Kilbourntown, Teddy Roosevelt was saved from an assassin's bullet by the smallest of items. Not far from that spot, eight baseball team owners formed the American League of Professional Baseball Clubs. And no matter the neighborhood, a fantastic glass of suds is never far away in this renowned beer city. Leading readers on a neighborhood-by-neighborhood tour, author and Milwaukee native Jim Nelsen pinpoints the fascinating historic locations of the Cream City.

Named for the frontiersman Daniel Boone, the town of Boone was first laid out in 1850 and officially incorporated in 1872. Nestled in an Appalachian stream valley, the town of Boone was initially little more than a sleepy, ramshackle county seat, prompting one 1888 visitor to describe it as a God-forsaken place. In 1899, the founding of the Watauga Academy (today's Appalachian State University) began a long history of synergy and occasional friction between town and gown. The 1918 arrival of the Linville River Railway launched the Watch Boone Grow campaign, turning Boone into a thriving commercial center. After World War II, improved roadways, cheap automobiles, and the nearby Blue Ridge Parkway made Boone a mountain tourism hub. The confluence of these forces--higher education, mountain tourism, and a commercial economy--has sometimes threatened Boone's identity, but Boone's reputation as an idyllic escape nevertheless endures.

Like many New England mill towns, Beacon Falls has a history that goes back to the founding of this country. It was called Brigadoon by a former state senator, and its past is tied to the invention of vulcanized rubber by Charles Goodyear and the manufacture of woolen shawls for Union troops during the Civil War. Its early Native American roots tell the story of Tobe, a Narragansett Indian who owned most of the western portion of land that became the town in 1871. High Rock Grove brought ten thousand visitors each summer to enjoy the skating rink, band concerts and acclaimed scenic vistas of Long Island Sound. Local author and municipal historian Michael Krenesky reveals some of the fascinating stories behind this jewel of the Naugatuck Valley.

From the moment in 1770 when Reverend Eleazar Wheelock located Dartmouth College in Hanover, the College on the Hill and the Village at the College have been inseparably linked as one. And from the time when the first log hut was constructed to the present, the built and natural environments have evolved as part of an organic evolutionary process. Due to changing architectural tastes, neglect and growth, many of the historic buildings that once flourished are no longer standing. Bygone landmarks like the beautiful entry porte-cochere at the Mary Hitchcock Memorial Hospital and the handful of handsome buildings that marked the start of the University of New Hampshire are now lost to history. Join architect and historian Jay Barrett as he uncovers the stories behind the forgotten treasures of Hanover.

In Omaha, an evening stroll can provide passage into a fascinating past. Travel from a madam's elaborate grave in North Omaha to the site of the first U.S. airmail flight in Aksarben.

Colorful street murals and Gilded Age mansions stand in as exhibits alongside the more traditional offerings of state markers and archival collections. Gain fresh appreciation for familiar landscapes and famous landmarks as Eileen Wirth and Carol McCabe move through Omaha neighborhood by neighborhood.

Anita Kerr, a softly spoken, petite lady from Memphis, Tennessee is a window into history. What this gifted and disciplined artist achieved in the man's world that was Nashville in the 50's, and her West Coast ascent in the 60's, is the great untold story of popular music. Her career is unique, and an inspiration to women and musicians in general.She never sought the limelight and razzmatazz of show business, and throughout her life was true to her word. Imagine being gifted with outstanding musical talent; perfect pitch; arranging for the hierarchy of show business greats; conducting the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, and composing the music for Warner's best-selling mood music of all time, under the banner of the San Sebastian Strings.You will read in detail how this low profile, elegant and humble individual was able to achieve considerable career accolades, which included her singers beating the Beatles (when they were at the height of their powers) in the 1965 Grammys. Her string of successes in many different styles did not happen by chance. She is regarded by some as one of the most talented and professionally accomplished women in popular music history, and one of the great underrated talents in the harmony pantheon. Her arrangements are expert, the execution impeccable, and her place in Nashville folklore is virtually a book in itself. Yet she barely gets a mention in most music reference books!

Life is Art. Sometimes I am in the Shadows. Sometimes I am in the Highlights. Other times I can experience all the Colours in between. All these encounters bring Form and Depth to my life. I thank God that he is the Master Artist.

A pilgrim route of over 1,100 km around the Japanese island of Shikoku links 88 temples associated with the 9th century monk Kōbō Daishi. Keith and Elaine, moderately fit, and with a totally inadequate knowledge of Japanese, set out to see how far they can get in the few weeks they have available. This is not an adventure story, nor one of spiritual angst and redemption, but it does follow them through a little-known part of rural Japan that has both charm and a capacity to surprise. How well will they manage the "pilgrim fall down" section leading to temple 12? Just what is going on at the "Udon Restaurant of the Spirits"? And why do they keep being served lotus root pizza?Not a guidebook, but a lighthearted and useful introduction to the Shikoku pilgrimage, illustrated with over 200 colour photographs.

It is truly said that hobbies play an important role in developing one's personality as they enable one to make certain inventions in various fields. The same thing occurred with the author who took an earnest interest in the historical data collected by historians. Thus, his inclination towards history from his childhood persuaded him to go to the depth of Shimla, which was the summer capital of Britishers and then converted to a concrete jungle with the increasing population which adversely affects the natural beauty of this hill station, as forest cover and natural water springs vanished forever due to deforestation. Consequently, the author decided to depict the picture of ancient Shimla which was surrounded with dense forests of deodar and pine trees and limited population of inhabitants. Thus, in order to achieve his goal, he put in efforts to collect old pictures and photographs of the hill town which is the venue of international agreements and still called 'the queen of hills'.He was even inspired by his family mainly his father who was a voluntary environmentalist. His father's plan for development of forest which was employment generating and same was acknowledged by PMO (Lt.Rajiv Gandhi) vide letter number 250/51/C/8/87 ES-2 dated 14-12-1987. It was the first plan in which emphasis were given to watch the rate of survival of plants to ascertain that efforts put in by Govt. for afforestation yielded fruitful results or not.

Rune Johansens fotografiske blikk på det norske kulturlandskapet fikk et gjennombrudd på 2000-tallet. Bøker som Hiv mannskjiten og Så lenge det vara ble favoritter blant publikum og anmeldere, og førstnevnte utkom også i engelsk og fransk oversettelse. Runes erindringer om steder og møter med mennesker, hans sikre blikk for det store i det lille, har plassert Rune Johansen i fremste rekke blant våre folkelivsskildrere.I august 2014 ble Runes kamera, en Hasselblad C/M, stjålet fra ham på flytoget. En følgesvenn gjennom 25 år var borte. I tillegg til dette opphørte på denne tiden produksjonen av Runes foretrukne film, Fuji Reala 100 ISO. Dette utstyret, og Runes spesielle bruk av det, definerte hans bilder i sterk grad. «Det var en del av meg,» sier han, noe som betyr at betingelsene for hans fotografiske virksomhet er borte, og en æra i norsk fotografi er over.Boka oppsummerer Runes karriere som fotograf. Vi får historien om hvordan han ble fotograf, fra det første speilreflekskamera han fikk som 18-åring og fram til Hasselbladen ble stjålet. I boken guides vi gjennom et av de mest særegne fotografiske kunstnerskap i nyere tid, og det beste av alt, vi får se hva som lå på filmrullen da kameraet ble borte, kort sagt, Rune Johansens siste bilder.

Boka inneholder en amerikansk fotografs fotografier av Norge og nordmenn i ulike situasjoner og miljÃ.er tatt pÃ¥ begynnelsen av 1950-tallet. Denne utgaven inneholder hele fÃ.rsteutgaven, to nye forord, samt intervju med fotografen Dan Young. Forlagets bokomtale: Robert A. Robinson reiste rundt i norske byer og utkantstrÃ.k pÃ¥ 1950-tallet, mens Norge fortsatt var et av de fattigste landene i Europa. Med kameralinsa fanget han inn ulike scener fra nordmenns dagligliv. Dette er den fÃ.rste og eneste utgaven av Robinsons legendariske fotobok som er kommet siden den fÃ.rst utkom i 1958. Boka kommer med nyskrevne forord av Frode Grytten og David Campany. En parallel utgave med norske tekster er utgitt av Flamme Forlag.
