On June 8, 1968, Robert Kennedy's coffin was put on a train 20 cars long in New York and taken slowly to Washington, D.C., for burial in the Arlington Memorial Cemetery. Paul Fusco, then a staff photographer for Look, was on that train, and the pictures he took of people who lined the tracks along the way fill this moving book. These emotional photographs, many never-before-seen, remember the urgency and tragedy of Bobby Kennedy's assassination and the moving farewell from hundreds of thousands of people who stood patiently in the searing heat along roadsides down the east coast to watch his funeral train pass slowly by just as Abraham Lincoln's had 103 years before.

Hotel Seventeen on Manhattan’s 17th Street is one of the more affordable hotels in New York City, yet has gained cult status. Celebrities use it as a backdrop for photo shoots and film scenes but it is the young actors, designers, models, film college students, punk and rock musicians and drag queens who stay there as they chase their dreams of fame in the Big Apple.

By the year 2000 tourism will be the biggest industry in the world. Even now an estimated 750 million "tourists" generate a massive $2,000 billion annual expenditure on accommodation, catering, transport and souvenirs.Parr's timely investigation looks at tourism worldwide from the overcrowding of popular "honeypot" sites - famous locations whose success in attracting visitors ultimately diminishes the quality of the visitor's experience - to the inevitable culture clashes as developing countries become tourist destinations.

For five years American photographer Nubar Alexanian accompanied twenty-five committed artists, hanging out with them backstage, joining them on tour buses and in teaching seminars, and getting to know them as performers and as people. He joined Paul Simon in rehearsal, travelled to India with Phillip Glass, toured Europe with Emmylou Harris and spent weeks at music workshops hosted by Wynton Marsalis. He photographed gospel choirs, rock bands and classical orchestras, the famous and the not so famous in his search to describe visually what drives musicians to produce the music that amazes and stimulates us.

A Jewish comic novel, driven by a humour which is both black and bittersweet. A road movie of the mind, it follows Bernard Steinway—an alienated, isolated Jewish intellectual—as he attempts to find a sense of purpose following the collapse of his marriage. His search is both desperate and deluded moving from one self-inflicted disaster to another. In the end he believes himself cured and finally leaves his therapist—he may be convinced that he has regained his sanity but the rest of us know better.
"Unceasingly witty and incisive. This is an exceedingly well written, wonderfully arresting debut."—The Times

As Shanghai enters the 21st-century, this most dynamic of Chinese cities looks back over a decade of phenomenal growth. It is a focus for foreign investment and futuristic architecture, yet the city’s international past is still very much in evidence. In the crowded streets and shopping malls there is an unabashed enthusiasm for consumer-ism and a great capacity to enjoy whatever life has to offer.Syke’s pictures range from moments of personal intimacy to industrial projects, and his work achieves a subtle chemistry between photo-journalism and fine art photography. The photographs are accompanied by perceptive captions and a lively chronology of historical events.Homer Sykes travels widely on assignment throughout the world.
