How to Master the Moment

The Art of Street Photography

History in 15

Photographs are more than just illustrations of a moment in time, they offer a powerful way to interpret and understand the past like no other historical source can. U.S. History in 15 Photographs introduces this power through 15 iconic and lesser-known photographs representing key eras in American History. Taking the reader from Reconstruction and Westward Expansion, to the Roaring Twenties and the World Wars, right up to Modern American Culture, it offers a refreshing, visual account of American history. This volume reorients photography as a major source for understanding the past, expanding not only the stories that we tell, but the way we tell them. Teaching students how to understand, contextualize, and interpret historic photography, U.S. History in 15 Photographs centers diverse stories about the American experience by exploring topics around race, class, gender, disability, the environment, and social justice. The scholars who contributed to this volume show that photographs are more just illustrations from the past, but foundational sources with surprising revelations about the past.

If you loved My Family and Other Animals and can't get enough of the Durrells after the Corfu series, The Picnic and Suchlike Pandemonium is the book for you. It constitutes a series of anecdotal snippets and short stories including 'The Picnic', a laugh-out-loud account of an ill-fated Durrell family excursion, which should have been a relaxing, jolly affair. But with the Durrells things are seldom straightforward and on this occasion all that could go wrong did go wrong - except Gerald Durrell's sense of humour in recounting the tale. Other hilarious and surreal Roald Dahlesque stories ensue, including the critically acclaimed Gothic horror story 'The Entrance'.

The first publication dedicated to the house of Chanel and its creations as reported in Vogue, featuring iconic illustrations and photography from throughout the magazine's history and across its international editions. Vogue talent-spotted the work of a young Gabrielle Chanel as early as the 1910s and continued to report on the designer through the decades, from her seminal 'little black dress' to the most luxurious haute couture creations. From 1983, Karl Lagerfeld's re-imagining of the brand also found pride of place in the lauded magazine, inspiring some of the world's greatest stylists and photographers across the international editions of Vogue. Chanel in Vogue includes two volumes: the first volume is dedicated to the era of Gabrielle Chanel, and the second focuses on the work of her successors, Karl Lagerfeld and Virginie Viard, and up to the present day. This beautifully produced publication gathers together the inspirational editorials dreamt up by world-famous fashion illustrators and photographers of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from Edward Steichen, Horst P. Horst, George Hoyningen-Huene, Irving Penn and Helmut Newton, to Peter Lindbergh, Ellen von Unwerth, Annie Leibovitz, Steven Meisel and many more. Featuring iconic images as well as lesser-known photography and illustration, this book is a trove of stunning visual material, granting readers unparalleled access to the more than a century's worth of fashion imagery. Published as two volumes in a slipcase, this high-end, large-format package is the definitive book on the fashion of Chanel as seen through the pages of the world's most influential fashion magazine.

Marilyn Monroe wore some of the most iconic dresses in cinema history, and many of them were designed by one man - William Travilla. Marilyn's Style focuses on the striking dresses that Travilla created for the silver screen legend, from the hot pink dress in which she brought down the house with 'Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend' in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes to the iconic white pleated dress from The Seven Year Itch that made fashion history.
