 Niagara
By Alec Soth
"I went to Niagara for the same reason as the honeymooners and suicide jumpers," says Soth, "the relentless thunder of the Falls just calls for big passion." The subject may be hot, but the pictures are quiet, the rigorously composed and richly detailed products of a large-format 8x10 camera. Working over the course of two years on both the American and Canadian sides of the Falls, Soth edited the results of his labors down to a tight and surprising album. He depicts newlyweds and naked lovers, motel parking lots, pawnshop wedding rings and love letters from the subjects he photographed. We read about teenage crushes, workplace affairs, heartbreak and suicide. Oscar Wilde wrote, "The sight of the stupendous waterfall must be one of the earliest, if not the keenest, disappointments in American married life." Niagara brings viewers both the passion and the disappointment--a remarkable portrayal of modern love and its aftermath.
About the Author

 Cage Call
by Louie Palu
Life and death in the hard rock mining belt, photographed by acclaimed Canadian photographer. The result of 12 years of documentary research conducted in NE Ontario & NE Quebec 1991-2003. This book was published with the assistance of a Critical Mass award by Photolucida in 2007.
Canada’s stock exchanges are world leaders in mine finance and development, built by the profits, corporations and workers, which evolved from the mines in the provinces of Quebec and Ontario. This region is home to some of the world’s richest and largest underground mines and smelters. Many of the communities surrounding the mines have given rise to some of the most militant labour unions in North American history.
"As the son of immigrant labourers, I have always been fascinated by the politics of work and commerce. By examining the social issues surrounding workers and market economies, we gain a clearer understanding of the symbiotic nature of the global economy we all participate in."
About the author:
Louie's work has appeared in numerous books, catalogues, festivals and exhibitions internationally.He is the recipient of numerous awards including the 2009 Aftermath Project, a 2008 Hasselblad Master Award and a Best of Photojournalism Award from the NPPA in 2008, a Silver Medal from the Society of Newspaper Design for photography, Canadian Association of Journalism's 2007 award for photojournalism.

 Carnival Strippers, by Susan Meiselas, Sylvia Wolf and Deirdre English.
From 1972 to 1975, Susan Meiselas spent her summers photographing and interviewing women who performed striptease for small town carnivals in New England, Pennsylvania, and South Carolina. As she followed the girl shows from town to town, she portrayed the dancers on stage and off, photographing their public performances as well as their private lives. She also taped interviews with the dancers, their boyfriends, the show managers, and paying customers. Meiselas' frank description of the lives of these women brought a hidden world to public attention. Produced during the early years of the women's movement Carnival Strippers reflects the struggle for identity and self-esteem that characterized a complex era of change.
This is the beautifully produced new edition of Susan Meiselas' landmark first book from 1976 which now includes additional photographs along with an audio CD with a collage of voices from it many participants and a 1977 interview with the photographer.

 This is Magnum photographer Alex Webb's seventh book. Webb began photographing Istanbul in 1998, and became instantly enthralled: by the people, the layers of culture and history, the richness of street life. But what particularly drew him in was a sense of Istanbul as a border city, lying between Europe and Asia. "For 30-some years as a photographer, I have been intrigued by borders, places where cultures come together, sometimes easily, sometimes roughly." The resulting body of work, some of Webb's strongest to date, conveys the frisson of a culture in transition, yet firmly rooted in a complex history.
With essay by the Nobel Prize winning novelist, Orhan Pamuk.

 Sahel: The End of the Road, by Sebastião Salgado, is one of the most important and most haunting bodies of his work. Fotovision is offering hardbound, signed books as a part of the Print Collectors' Program. As Salgado does not schedule many book signings, signed copies will be hard to find.
This early work became a template for his future photographic projects about other afflicted people around the world. Working with the humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders, Salgado documented the enormous suffering and the great dignity of the refugees in the Sahel region of Africa (Chad, Ethiopia, Mali, and the Sudan), where approximately one million people died from extreme malnutrition and related causes. With supporting narratives by Orville Schell, Fred Ritchin, and Eduardo Galeano, this first U.S. edition brings this landmark body of work to an American audience for the first time. Twenty years after the photographs were taken, Sahel: The End of the Road is still relevant. This book is part of the Series in Contemporary Photography, published jointly in 2004 by the UC Press and the UC Berkeley Graduate School of Journalism.

 Under Fire, by Catherine Leroy and foreword by John McCain.
Signed by both Catherine Leroy and Don McCullin. Hardbound copies are available. Catherine Leroy pairs her work and that of other acclaimed photographers-–among them Larry Burrows, Henri Huet, and Don McCullin–with moving, evocative essays from an equally stellar roster of writers, including David Halberstam, Philip Caputo, Neil Sheehan, and Tim O’Brien. Some of the photographs are well known, verging on the iconic, others are less well circulated but no less evocative. All make indelible impressions on the viewer–perhaps more so now than when they were taken, thirty to fifty years ago. Published to coincide with the thirtieth anniversary of the fall of Saigon, Under Fire is a potent, often poignant reminder of the men and women whose work helped forge the collective memory of a generation.
Catherine Leroy was twenty-one years old when she set out from her native France to Vietnam in 1966. In less than two years, her intrepid reporting made her one of the war’s most published photographers. In 1967, she became the only journalist to partake in a combat jump. Later she was wounded with a marine unit in the DMZ. Leroy was captured by the North Vietnamese Army during the Tet offensive but managed to talk her way free. Leroy has won numerous photography prizes for her work in Vietnam and elsewhere, including the Robert Capa Award, of which she was the first female recipient, and the George Polk Award.
Published in 2005 by Random House; 192 pages. These copies are signed by both Catherine Leroy and Don McCullin.

 The Fourth Wall
by Amy Arbus
What happens when a performing actor leaves behind his lines, staging, sets, and lighting, and steps beyond the fourth wall? For three years, Amy Arbus has been exploring this question in a series of dramatic portraits of celebrated actors, both on and off Broadway. Fully costumed but stripped of their context, Arbus's actors remain in character as they step outside the fiction of theater into the reality of the world beyond. Staged in anonymous public spaces-in theater lobbies, on city streets, in parks, and in stage door alleys-Arbus's images achieve an unexpected blend of spectacle and high art; formality and spontaneity; vulnerability and pretense.

 Pirelli Work
by Chris Killip
Chris Killip, born 1946 on the Isle of Man, is one of the most influential photographers and teachers to have come out of the United Kingdom. His work in the late 1970s and 1980s defined an era; it has received numerous prizes and is included in most major museum collections. Of Pirelli Work, taken at the famous tire manufacturer’s plant, he says,“I wanted to show the manufacturing process as clearly as I could, and to do so in this factory meant it would have to be lit . . . The workplace had become, in a real sense for me, a theater and I embraced the look of these new photographs with their relation to fashion, film noir, and even Soviet Realism. For me this ‘look’ seemed a more telling way to record and document this enforced ritual.”

 The Destruction of lower Manhattan
by Danny Lyon
In 1967, Danny Lyon returned to New York City, having just finished The Bikeriders (Macmillan, 1968). He was twenty-five. Living in a loft on the corner of Beekman and Williams Streets in Downtown Manhattan, Lyon saw that half the buildings on Beekman Street were boarded up, about to be demolished. That year an incredible sixty acres of mostly nineteenth-century buildings were slated for demolition, all below Chambers Street. The seven-acre site where the Twin Towers would eventually stand was being cleared, a new ramp added to the Brooklyn Bridge, Pace University expanded, and the Washington Market was being moved to the Bronx. Much of the Lower West Side was being turned into rubble.
Lyon thought of the title The Destruction of Lower Manhattan first, and then made a record of each building before it was demolished. The book was released by Macmillan Publishers in 1969, and remaindered a few years later; the copies sold for one dollar each. It has been a collector’s item ever since.
Thirty-eight years after these photographs were made, many of them are the only record that survives of entire blocks of mainly nineteenth-century buildings that once lined Fulton Street, and West Street along the Hudson. Because of the disaster that would strike the city a generation later, New Yorkers have taken on a renewed and fervent interest in the architecture of their city. This work is a major contribution to that new world. For Lyon, these buildings in their last days standing were the embodiment of a beauty and pathos that people walking by in the street seldom noticed at the time. Those feelings were preserved in the photographs that today survive exactly as the young author intended, as a memory and a record of what was.

 What the world Eats
by Peter Menzel and Faith D'alusio
It's an inspired idea--to better understand the human diet, explore what culturally diverse families eat for a week. That's what photographer Peter Menzel and author-journalist Faith D'Alusio, authors of the equally ambitious Material World, do in Hungry Planet: What the World Eats, a comparative photo-chronicle of their visits to 30 families in 24 countries for 600 meals in all. Their personal-is-political portraits feature pictures of each family with a week's worth of food purchases; weekly food-intake lists with costs noted; typical family recipes; and illuminating essays, such as "Diabesity," on the growing threat of obesity and diabetes. Among the families, we meet the Mellanders, a German household of five who enjoy cinnamon rolls, chocolate croissants, and beef roulades, and whose weekly food expenses amount to $500. We also encounter the Natomos of Mali, a family of one husband, his two wives, and their nine children, whose corn and millet-based diet costs $26.39 weekly.
We soon learn that diet is determined by largely uncontrollable forces like poverty, conflict and globalization, which can bring change with startling speed. Thus cultures can move--sometimes in a single jump--from traditional diets to the vexed plenty of global-food production. People have more to eat and, too often, eat more of nutritionally questionable food. Their health suffers.
