Summary:
Geoffrey James has stalked the parks and back streets of Canada's largest metropolis with his tripod and wide-angle panoramic camera, in search of the city's essence. Eschewing the obvious landmarks, he shows us pavilions on the lakeshore, billboards in Dundas Square, back lots in Kensington Market and many other exceptional views. His images are accompanied by a 4,000-word introducton from Mark Kingwell and extensive endnotes from city historians and experts. Through the lens of Geoffrey James, Toronto becomes a city freshly seen. In the words of renowned urbanist Ken Greenberg, "This project will have great value not only for Toronto, but should also say something new about ways of portraying and revealing cities."

Abelardo Morell's elegant photographs of books are presented in duotone reproductions, highlighting the grace and sensuality of the printed page. Morell has selected unusual books, like a leather-bound volume that is smaller than a paper clip, an impossibly large dictionary, and illustrated books whose characters appear to leap off of the page. He has photographed the endless ocean of books in a library and the strikingly beautiful way in which weathered and water-damaged books take on sculptural form.

Summary:
Le Centre hospitalier du Vexin est un lieu singulier par sa géographie et son histoire. Aujourd'hui spécialisé dans les soins de suite et de rééducation et la prise en charge du handicap lourd, cet hôpital fut à l'origine, en 1930, un sanotarium à l'architecture révolutionnaire, se dévelopanat en tros grands bâtiments de béton construits au ilieu d'une forêt. Situé loin des grandes villes, il fur utilisé pendant la seconde guerre mondiale comme camp de prsonniers de 1940 à 1943. La police française y interna des communistes et des résistants dont beaucoup furent déportés dans les camps de concentration. Gwendal Bescond, photographe, Catherine Déréthé, compositrice sonore, et Nolwenn Assolant, écrivaine, évoquent ce site où l'on passe en un instant d'un univers de traces fantomatiques à un lieu dédié à la reconstruction du corps et qui mêle l'histoire collective à la mémoire individuelle.

Summary:
When renowned Hiroshi Sugimoto was invited to photograph the Pulitzer Foundation for the Arts, St. Louis, his attention immediately focused on an immense steel sculpture, Richard Serra's Joe, one of the artist's torqued spirals, which occupies a small courtyard of the museum. Joe allows viewers to walk in through a narrow passage between towering, sloping walls. The path leads to a surprising central space from which only the curving steel walls and the sky are visible. Sugimoto's pictures in this book capture the elliptical nature of Serra's piece. His images are complemented by the words of Jonathan Safran Foer, whose affecting prose poem-about an "average Joe" experiencing the circular passage of time-echoes, without directly referencing, Serra's sculpture. Designed by Takaaki Matsumoto, this large-format book features tritone reproductions printed on uncoated stock.
