Summary:
Mason examines how the somber, brooding atmosphere of pine woods, the complex forms of pine cones, and the coniform shape of the trees themselves have aroused the creativity of artists, writers, filmmakers, and photographers. She also considers the many ways we use the tree—its resin once provided adhesives, waterproofing, and medicines, and its wood continues to be incorporated into buildings, furniture, and the pulp used to make paper, while its cones provide pine nuts and other food for animals and humans. Filled with one hundred illustrations, Pin` provides a survey of these rugged, aromatic trees that are found the world over.

Summary:
This volume commemorates Robert Adams' receipt of the Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography for 2009. The Foundation singled out Adams' ability to consolidate the medium's history: "as photography has altered and fragmented, he has refined and reaffirmed its inherent language, adapting the legacies of nineteenth-century and modernist photography to his own very singular purpose. Precise and undramatic, Adams' accumulative vision of the West now stands as a formidable document, reflecting broader, global concerns about the environment,while consistently recognizing signs of human aspiration and elements of hope, across a particular changing landscape."

Summary:
No one lives in the houses on Hasselwerder Strasse in Neuenfelde. A symptom of the threat from the nearby Airbus factory and its airport, which recently extended its runway towards the town, it raises questions of the community’s survival. Fearing lawsuits from residents, the government purchased more than 60 homes on the approach path. Roger Eberhard captures the resulting, eerie emptiness in this series of 34 photographs of houses and trees. The homes stand clean and intact, the trees look healthy, but behind this facade lies a certain discomfort, a sense that something is wrong. Includes a 140-cm-long foldout and an essay by Stefanie Gerke.

Price:

Summary:
The Swedish photographer Julia Hetta photographed the images in this book on the Swedish island of Fårö in the Baltic Sea, in close collaboration with her friend, the artist Åsa Stenerhag. Her (mostly) black-and-white photographs in "Island" depict their subjects—from trees (the branches, leaves, trunks of trees), rocks (the shapes, layers, textures of rocks), human beings (the faces, hair, expressions, clothes of human beings)—both in relation to one another and with a more singular focus. The book imbues its subjects with stillness and power. Though calm, the atmosphere is one of capacious potential. The titular island may as well be from another dimension. Black, fragile, powerful; a world of romance after the despair.
