Over the past quarter-century, China has created broad prosperity faster than any other major developing country, but the general rise in wealth has obscured the creation of a society of haves and have-nots. The Petitioners exposes the grim reality of China's economic miracle through heartrending stories of the maligned - and their circuitous and frustrating navigation through appeals and petitions.

Anthony Fry is a poet of color. In this, the first book of his work, this English painter of note presents the work of several decades, from travels in Morocco, Greece, Turkey, Spain, India, and beyond. These images depict the major sources of inspiration for Fry's work, notably the dreamlike landscapes of the equatorial zones, the nude in all its permutations, and the shuttered spaces of meditative interiors; all show Fry's dexterity with form and signature mastery of color: incandescent, powerful, full of life. This groundbreaking monograph includes nearly two hundred reproductions in full color of paintings and works on paper from nearly every period, in a comprehensive survey of Fry's oeuvre. Essays by John Berger, Tom Stoppard, Frances Partridge, Andrew Lambirth, Bryan Robertson, and an interview with Cathy Courtney.

Burt Glinn’s photographs—of Fidel thronged by his fellow Cubans along the road to Havana, of troops embracing, and of fierce men and women taking up arms in the streets—are full of the revolutionary fervor and idealistic anticipation that characterized that moment in Cuban history. Bilingual text in English and Spanish.

Havana: The Revolutionary Moment

Glinn, Burt

Decades after the fall of the iron curtain and the overthrow and execution of brutal Romanian dictator Nicholas Ceausescu, the worst AIDS epidemic among children in the world bears out its infamous legacy in Romania, still one of the poorest and most fractured societies in Eastern Europe. Beginning in 1994 and for the next five years, Magnum photographer Kent Klich traveled to Romania to document the appalling aftermath of Ceausescu’s horror. Nobel winner Herta Müller contributed a poignant essay to this project.

Fuji as seen by Chris Steele-Perkins emerges as a meditation about modern Japan and Japanese life. The exquisite images offer a fresh and surprising view of Japan’s iconic mountain and an understanding of Japanese worldview as seen by an outsider who has penetrated its diversity with astounding clarity, metaphysical insight, and profound complicity.
