 Abrams. Dirck Halstead is one of America's preeminent photojournalists, whose iconic images have graced more covers of Time magazine than any other photographer's.

A History of Western Art Laurie Schneider Adams
 This beautifully presented text tells the story of western art in its historical and cultural context. A History of Western Art introduces your students to the major periods, artists, and artistic styles as they evolved over time. Your students will gain an in-depth understanding of important historical developments by focusing on fewer works in greater detail. "I like the clarity and organization of the historical progressions, the inserts, plates, and maps. " - Joan V. Messenger, Miramar College " A survey is the most difficult kind of textbook to write and I think the author's achievement is very good. The text is accessible to the novice without being condescending. The complexity of successive periods in the history of art is introduced clearly and concisely - the introductory chapters on the formal elements of art are especially useful." - Michael Gur, Dickinson College...

Woman in the Mirror: 1945-2004 Anne Hollander, Richard Avedon
 Harry N. Abrams, Inc. Among the significant projects of the last year of his life, Richard Avedon completed a book of his photographs of women. Always transcending categorization-he was both a fashion photographer and known as a "poet of portraiture"-Avedon was inerested in seeing how elemental facts of modern life and human existence were reflected in his work. And what could be more elemental than women, who have mesmerized artists across the centuries? Looking at his work in this way, Avedon was able to reate an unparalleled view of women in his time, a tumultuous half century of rapidly changing social facts, cultural ideals, popular styles, and high fashion. As an artist, Avedon was deeply responsive to nuances of expression, gesture, and comportment, nd his photographs unfailingly opened a window to the interior lives of his subjects. These ranged from celebrities (Marilyn Monroe), artists (Marguerite Duras, June Leaf), and high-fashion models (Suzy Parker, Dovima) to anonymous people that simply......

Zheng He (Discovery) Michael Yamashita
 Before the legendary explorations of Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, and Ferdinand Magellan, Admiral Zheng He sailed from Ming-dynasty China, and in 28 years, made seven voyages visiting 30 countries. With his fleet of hundreds of junks, he traveled from Southeast Asia to Africa, from India to the Middle East, gathering riches, scientific knowledge, fame, and power for his emperor. He came close to conquering the world, until the Ming Dynasty's power shriveled and the explorer's accomplishments were all but forgotten. More than six centuries after his first voyage, acclaimed photographer Michael Yamashita restores the deeds of the "Forgotten Admiral" to their rightful place in history. In this compelling tribute to Zheng He, Yamashita traces each of his journeys and pays homage to the impressive achievements of this explorer whose feats equal or surpass those of other better-known explorers. In a meticulous visual recreation that has become his signature style, Yamashita......

 The first photographic tour of the surface of another planet has now been accomplished. Those who thrilled to the lunar beauty of Full Moon and the IMAX smash Roving Mars will marvel at this awesome, vivid, beautiful portrait of what it is like to take a stroll on Mars.
