Summary:
Between 1945 and 1961, an estimated 2.5 million people fled East Germany in search of the political and economic freedom offered by West Germany. To thwart this tide of defections, on the morning of August 13, 1961, hundreds of East German troops began erecting the Berlin wall—a barrier that would take nearly twenty years to complete and would eventually span 166 kilometers. In Postcards from Checkpoint Charlie, the Bodleian Library assembles a stunning collection of images to document the wall’s impact worldwide. The postcards in this fascinating volume trace the development of the wall—from its beginnings as a simple stretch of barbed wire to the daunting final structure made of concrete and containing over 300 watchtowers. The images capture scenes of tension and urgency, such as those at Checkpoint Charlie, where we see Allied and East German soldiers coldly observing one another through binoculars.

Summary:
The interactions between Indian and white man, photographer amd photographed, suggested a relationship in which commercial motives and friendly feelings mixed, though not necessarily in equal measure. The Ho-Chunk resourcefully sought new ways to survive in the increasingly tourist-driven economy of the Dells. Bennett, struggling to keep his photography business alive, capitalized on America's comfortably nostalgic image of Native peoples as a vanishing race, no longer treatening and now safe for white consumption.

Summary:
Left London is a photographic portrayal of abandoned buildings across the capital that reveals an otherwise unseen side of city life. Having explored a multitude of sites and taken over twenty thousand images, the authors were able to assemble a unique collection of photographs vividly illustrating this evocative and beautiful subject. Furthermore, as well as extensive interior and exterior shots, the book also contains various items of ephemera found in situ, which provide an additional visual narrative. Like all cities, London has an established cycle of decay and renewal, however with the forthcoming 2012 Olympics, it is currently embarking on the most ambitious redevelopment plan in its history. In light of this, Left London takes on a particularly compelling and contemporary relevance.

Summary:
Le ministère de l’environnement a engagé en 1991 la création de l’Observatoire photographique du paysage. Un itinéraire photographique est créé sur un territoire avec l’aide d’un photographe professionnel. Il est composé d’une quarantaine de points de vue choisis pour être rephotographiés. Une fois l’itinéraire défini, chacun des points de vue est rephotographié à des intervalles variables, entre deux et cinq ans, mais selon le principe de la fixité du cadrage de la prise de vue. Cet observatoire a pour objectif de constituer un fonds photographique permettant d’analyser les mécanismes et les facteurs de transformations des espaces ainsi que les rôles des différents acteurs qui en sont la cause. Dans ce contexte, Thierry Girard a été invité à participer à l’Observatoire photographique du paysage, et à mettre en place un itinéraire à travers le parc naturel régional des Vosges du Nord.

Comme l'ont illustré l'effet de la « dé-communisation » issue de la révolution de Maïdan et l'immédiate mise en musée des événements dans le Donbass, une partie de l'histoire est supprimée pour être tout de suite remplacée par une autre. Ce livre explore une Ukraine construite en diachronie, constamment modifiée par les révolutions et les guerres. // The architectures and landscapes reveal the paradoxical chronologies that Ukraine cannot hide. As illustrated by the effect of 'decommunisation' post Maïdan, paralleled with the immediate establishment of the current affairs in Donbass, part of the history is suppressed to be immediately replaced with another. This book explores a Ukraine built in a diachrony, constantly modified by revolution and war.

Summary:
This volume considers how contemporary photographers have responded to the US military’s impact on the domestic environment since the 1970s, a dynamic period for environmental activism as well as for photography. This catalogue presents a lively range of voices at the intersection of art, environmentalism, militarism, photography, and politics. Alongside interviews with prominent contemporary artists working in the landscape photography tradition, the images speak to photographers’ varied motivations, personal experiences, and artistic approaches. The result is a surprising picture of the ways violence and warfare surround us. Although most modern combat has taken place abroad, the US domestic landscape bears the footprint of armed conflict—much of the environmental damage we live with today was caused by our own military and the expansive network of industries supporting its work.
