Slickly designed and printed in duotone, Canine features 50 photographs of different dogs—at play and at work, worried and cocky, flying through the air and napping on the sofa, at dog shows and just showing off. Interspersed with the pictures are appropriately quirky snippets of text, featuring such diverse sources as Richard Nixon, Jean-Paul Sartre, Thomas Mann, and dog trainers from the nineteenth century. This book is affordable and beautifully designed, with charming pictures by a well-known photographer and author. It will make a perfect gift for anyone with a special dog in his or her life and it will arrive in plenty of time for the holidays. Henry Horenstein is the author of over 25 books for adults and children, including the classic text Black and White Photography (Little, Brown; 400,000+ copies sold) and Creatures (Pond Press, 1999).

Declaring Independence

Ghosts is a wondrous look at our relationship with death. In her quest, Tuckerman has traveled to India, Mexico, Brazil and everywhere that “spirit demons relentlessly snap at our souls.” Along the way, Ghosts explores half-memories, night shadows and ancestral myths in a style that encompasses literal, mystical and metaphorical elements.
Ghosts is sumptuously printed in tritone, with 92 black-and-white infrared photographs, fully capturing Tuckerman’s surreal and painterly style. Invoking visitations, possessions, curses, incantations and celebrations, these images hauntingly describe the fear of the Grim Reaper as it perpetuates the ritualization of death.
Here the ghosts linger. In these particular environments I sense my own shadows and the shadows of others. There is my strong connection with the history of a place and with the land. I confront death that has many different guises, death by natural causes, death of war and genocide and the displacement suffered in flight from real or metaphorical death.—Jane Tuckerman
Jane Tuckerman has been a photographer and educator for 35 years. Her interest in death rituals began with an assignment to photograph in Varanasi, India, in 1985, when she was head of the photography program at Harvard University. Now teaching at the Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University, Tuckerman’s photographs are in major collections worldwide, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
James Dickey (1923-1997) was best known for his novel Deliverance and also wrote approximately 20 volumes of poetry. He was widely known for celebrating both the sublime and the ordinary aspects of our lives. Dickey served in World War II, and in his later years, was poet in residence and professor of English at the University of South Carolina.

Ghosts

This wrenching photo essay by Jack Lueders-Booth provides a rare and intimate view of the personal lives, dwellings and struggles of families who live and work in the garbage dumps of Tijuana, Mexico.
Lueders-Booth’s penetrating photographs, made over a six-year period, are further illuminated in a personal way with an essay by prize-winning writer Luis Alberto Urrea. Author of the current bestseller The Devil’s Highway: A True Story, Urrea worked as a missionary in the 1980s in the dumps that Lueders-Booth depicts in Inherit the Land.
This will be the third collaboration between Lueders-Booth and Urrea. In the first two, Across the Wire and By the Lake of Sleeping Children, Lueders-Booth’s photographs served to illustrate Urrea’s text. In Inherit the Land, Urrea’s writing augments Lueders-Booth’s photographs.
What has been produced, over these years of unprecedented access to the garbage dumps, tarpaper shacks, barrios, jails, back alleys and forbidding canyons of this unknown border, is a vast and comprehensive image bank of pictures the likes of which have rarely been seen. Few have had the chance to penetrate the daily lives of their subjects so completely as has Lueders-Booth. His cameras have lived among the people he photographs, he has picked trash with them, baptized their babies, played with their children while their mothers cook him meals gleaned from the trash dumps in the hills.—Luis Urrea
Jack Lueders-Booth’s photographs are included in the collections of many museums and private collections, including The Museum of Modern Art in New York. After retiring from 30 years of teaching at Harvard University, Lueders-Booth continues to teach and photograph in and around his hometown of Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Luis Alberto Urrea’s books have received a number of literary awards, including the American Book Award and The Christopher Award. Urrea currently teaches and lives with his family in Naperville, Illinois.

“[Schoeller’s portraits] give the face, the human expression, a new dimension, and that’s why we keep looking at them. That’s what portraits are for, what they are all about.”—David Remnick
Female Bodybuilders is the second monograph by contemporary artist and photographer Martin Schoeller. Schoeller is considered a contemporary master of portrait photography. Since 1999, Martin Schoeller has been contracted by The New Yorker to capture portraits of the most recognized personalities of our time. Through this and other magazines, he has photographed President Bill Clinton, Barak Obama, Tom Wolfe, Angelina Jolie, George Clooney, and many others.
In this work, he turns his unique style to female body builders. In Schoeller’s words: “with Female Bodybuilders, I am trying to show the vulnerability that I see and feel in the subjects when I am with them, to get to the complex emotions behind a mask of extreme physical expression. These women mirror our modern cultural hunger for size, aggression, and attention at any cost. We are in the age of Bigness.” This limited print-run monograph is a must-have for collectors of contemporary art and photography.
From 1993 to 1996, Martin Schoeller was an assistant to Annie Leibovitz. Since embarking on his own career, Schoeller’s work has appeared in Vogue, GQ, Esquire, Entertainment Weekly, and W, among others. His first monograph, Close Up, was published in 2005. Exhibitions of this work will be on display in tandem with the Beijing Olympic Games and throughout cities in United States and Europe.
