Biological Sciences

Johann Knobel spent 20 years photographing the natural wealth of South Africa, capturing on camera the very essence of every biome, each with its own unique flora, fauna and character. In this book, as series of evocative essays, written by experts in their respective fields, is combined with Johann's exceptional photographs, to present a holistic look at the natural wonders of this country. Each chapter is devoted to a separate biome, portraying its land and life forms in images and words. Woven through the text is the recurrent theme that the conservation of these biological riches is not an end in itself, but that humankind will be the ultimate beneficiary.

History & Criticism

Hector Acebes took three extended trips to Africa shortly after World War II: in 1948, 1949 and 1953. Travelling alone, with a Rolleiflex camera and motion picture equipment, he had already succeeded in his primary goal after graduation from MIT in 1946 -- avoiding a desk job. He would also succeed in creating a body of superb photographic artwork. Now in his 80s, Acebes recently rediscovered these magnificent photographs in his files. To him, the images brought back memories of his youthful adventures through northern and central Africa. To us, they reveal a refreshingly attractive and unironic look at individuals and landscapes of the world's most dramatic continent. What is it in these photographs that captures our imaginations? Formal beauty, to be sure. Acebes's keen technical ability and compositional skills are obvious, but it is the evident grace in the relationships Acebes established with his subjects that elevate these images. They command our attention and respect as important documents of indigenous peoples, cultures, and villages, but they go beyond that. These photographs hold their own as important fine art. They deserve a rightful place in the history of twentieth-century photography. This book reveals them to the world. In his introduction, the Columbia poet and essayist William Ospina discusses how the passage of time erases the memory of cultures, peoples, and individuals, and how these photographs help us retain not just the evidence of endangered cultures, but the spirit of the individuals who were the culture. An African photo historian (TBD) puts Acebes's work into the context of twentieth-century photography. An appendix with brief ethnographic descriptions of each photograph will be included.
