Résumé:
“Gunnar Smoliansky’s (b. 1933, Swedish) studies of trees are social journalism in photographic form, although not from the human world in spite of their occasional traces of humanity. No, people appear to have left the scene. Smoliansky’s depictions of trees are a forestry ranger’s nightmare and at the same time far too vulnerable to please the zealous conservationist.(...)

Résumé:
“Gunnar Smoliansky’s (b. 1933, Swedish) studies of trees are social journalism in photographic form, although not from the human world in spite of their occasional traces of humanity. No, people appear to have left the scene. Smoliansky’s depictions of trees are a forestry ranger’s nightmare and at the same time far too vulnerable to please the zealous conservationist. These photographs are about a type of vegetation that may once have been both magnificent and dignified – what remains of growth is both frustrated and defiant.

Résumé:
"Treepedia" is an entertaining and fact-filled illustrated compendium of tree lore. Featuring nearly 100 entries- on topics ranging from tree ecology and conservation to the role of trees in religion, literature, art, and movies- this collection is a celebration of all things arboreal. In this book, Joan Maloof explains the difference between a cedar and a cypress, and reveals where to find the most remarkable trees on the planet. She tells the story behind the venerable Bodhi Tree, and describes peculiar species like baobabs and Fitzroya. Maloof profiles legendary conservationists such as Julia "Butterfly" Hill, John Muir, Wangari Maathai, and Ken Wu. She discusses reforestation, proforestation, emerald ash borers, the ents from "The Lord of the Rings," culturally modified trees, the ill-fated and controversial Redwood Summer, and much more. The book's portable size makes it the perfect travel companion no matter where your love of the forest may lead you.

Résumé:
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."

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.

Résumé:
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.
