“A treasure trove for any fan of the four-stringed (and occasionally more) instrument.” — Billboard"It's not surprising that sooner or later I'd dive down the proverbial rabbit hole into the world of vintage bass guitars."—Geddy LeeFrom Rush frontman Geddy Lee's personal collection of vintage electric bass guitars, dating from the 1950s to the 1980s, comes the definitive volume on the subject.Geddy's love of the bass has been nurtured over a lifetime spent in the limelight as one of the world's premier rock bassists. For the past seven years, he's dedicated himself to studying the history of the instrument that's been so essential to his career, collecting hundreds of basses from around the globe.Written with arts journalist Daniel Richler, gorgeously photographed in breathtaking detail by Richard Sibbald, and with insight from Geddy’s trusted bass tech and curator, John "Skully" McIntosh, Geddy Lee’s Big Beautiful Book of Bass profiles over 250 classic basses from Geddy’s extensive collection. Representing every tone in the bass palette, every nuance of the rock and roll genre as well as blues, jazz, pop, and country, this one-of-a-kind collection features so-called "beauty queens"—pristine instruments never lifted from their cases—as well as "road warriors"—well-worn, sweat-soaked basses that proudly show their age and use. Complete with personal commentary from Geddy that showcases his knowledge both as a musician and an aficionado, this luxuriously produced volume is a revelatory look at the heavy hitters in the world of bass—Fender, Gibson/Epiphone, Rickenbacker, Höfner, Ampeg—and lesser known but influential global luthiers such as Antonio Wandr Pioli, Dan Armstrong, and Tony Zemaitis.The book also features interviews with John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin); Adam Clayton (U2); Robert Trujillo (Metallica); Jeff Tweedy (Wilco); Bill Wyman (The Rolling Stones); Les Claypool (Primus); Bob Daisley (Rainbow); Fender expert and owner of the legendary Gibson Explorer, Bass Ken Collins; veteran guitar tech for The Who, Alan Rogan; plus comments from many other great players across three decades of rock and roll.Written in Geddy's singular voice, this book reveals the stories, songs, and history behind the instruments of his inimitable collection. Complete with an index and a graphically designed timeline of the history of the bass, as well as an up-close look at Geddy's basses on Rush's final R40 Tour, his stage and recording gear from 1968 to 2017, and forewords by author and respected vintage expert, Terry Foster, and Rush band member, Alex Lifeson, Geddy Lee's Big Beautiful Book of Bass is the ultimate compendium for the consummate collector, musician, Rush fan, and anyone who loves the bass guitar.This one-of-a-kind book of music photography offers a backstage pass to the world of rock and roll history:A Legendary Bass Guitar Collection: Explore over 250 vintage basses from Geddy Lee’s personal archives, from pristine ‘beauty queens’ to battle-scarred ‘road warriors.’Exclusive Interviews with Musicians: Go behind the music with insights from icons like John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin, U2’s Adam Clayton, Robert Trujillo of Metallica, and Les Claypool of Primus.Stunning Music Photography: Get up close with breathtaking, full-color photographs of each instrument, capturing every detail in a lavishly produced coffee table book.The Stories Behind the Sound: Trace the history of the instrument and discover the stories, songs, and gear behind Geddy’s inimitable career with Rush.

En ny fotobok av Jean Hermanson! Daniel Möller och Nils Petter Löfstedt har arbetat med Jeans tidsmässigt mest omfattande bildarkiv, från hans 32 år i stadsdelen Möllevången, Malmö. Det är även Jeans sista arbete, innan sjukdomen tog honom ifrån oss 2012. Det här är fotografierna som han inte kunde sluta ta från sin balkong och ute i torgkvarteren. Bildarbetet har varit okänt för världen, aldrig tidigare publicerat. Foto-Sverige kan skatta sig lyckligt! Det är dokumentärfilmsregissören Nils Petter Löfstedt som burit på tanken att slutföra Jeans stora Möllan-arbete. Alltsedan vännen och mentorn gick bort har det ofullbordade verket, som Jean tänkte mest på sina sista år i livet, kallat på Nils Petter. Tillsammans jobbade de med idéer om bildberättelsen, hur den skulle förmedlas. Men inget blev av detta. Först när Nils Petter fick sällskap i arbetet så lossnade det. Författaren Daniel Möller tog med sig bilderna ut på torget för att helt enkelt höra vad folk tänkte om dem. Det slog gnistor direkt. Minnen, berättelser och känslor bubblade ur folk. De som såg Jeans Möllan-bilder satte omedelbart igång ett slags detektivarbete vars mål var att hitta människorna som porträtterats. Torghandlarna hjälptes åt, folkbokföring och andra arkiv undersöktes. Ett ljuvligt pussel började läggas. Medverkar i boken gör några av de som känner igen sig själva på bilderna, sina föräldrar, sina vänner och bekanta. Nu äntligen kan alla uppleva mästerfotografen Jean Hermansons bilder från Möllan, ihop med folks minnen och berättelser från kvarteren! Utdrag ur bokens introduktion: En ögonblicksbild som jag minns från en av de första kalla vårmorgnarna bland torghandlarna: Vi har nyss fått kontakt med Marwan, han är nyfiken och bläddrar med sina stora muskulösa händer bland papperskopiorna. Det tar inte lång tid förrän han börjar uttala namn från sin torghistoria: Bosse, Margit, Heidi, Bodil, Jef, Tim Jones, Ronny, Mogens. “Detta är lite före min tid, det är gamla bilder. Men jag är nog en av de som har stått här längst nu.” Han pekar på olika människor på torget, förklarar för mig och hojtar uppfordrande på några av dem. Snart har vi namn och telefonnummer, veckodagar och löften om när den och den ur den gamla generationen säkert dyker upp för att hälsa på gamla torgarkompisar. Vi visar bilder för flera intresserade och lyssnar på deras minnen. Amar berättar om sina gamla succéaffärer på torget och vad han investerade allt i. Hamza viftar in oss innanför sina grönsakslådor och visar på telefonen: en video på Tiktok av klipp från Jeans och Torgnys film Kärlek och vilja, med musik och text på arabiska. Han intygar lyckligt: “Detta är livet, detta är Malmö! Detta är mitt liv! Jag älskar Möllevången.” Nils Petter håller fram papperskopiorna, fångar Hamzas blick och förklarar att det är samma fotograf. Hamza ser tvivlande ut, granskar det översta fotografiet i lådan. Nils Petter pekar upp mot Jeans gamla balkong: “Han bodde där!”

“In GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.” —Sebastião SalgadoOn a very fortuitous day in 1970, 26-year-old Sebastião Salgado held a camera for the first time. When he looked through the viewfinder, he experienced a revelation: suddenly life made sense. From that day onward—though it took years of hard work before he had the experience to earn his living as a photographer—the camera became his tool for interacting with the world. Salgado, who “always preferred the chiaroscuro palette of black-and-white images,” shot very little color in his early career before giving it up completely.Raised on a farm in Brazil, Salgado possessed a deep love and respect for nature; he was also particularly sensitive to the ways in which human beings are affected by their often devastating socio-economic conditions. Of the myriad works Salgado has produced in his acclaimed career, three long-term projects stand out: Workers (1993), documenting the vanishing way of life of manual laborers across the world; Migrations (2000), a tribute to mass migration driven by hunger, natural disasters, environmental degradation and demographic pressure; and this new opus, GENESIS, the result of an epic eight-year expedition to rediscover the mountains, deserts and oceans, the animals and peoples that have so far escaped the imprint of modern society—the land and life of a still-pristine planet. “Some 46% of the planet is still as it was in the time of genesis,” Salgado reminds us. “We must preserve what exists.” The GENESIS project, along with the Salgados’ Instituto Terra, are dedicated to showing the beauty of our planet, reversing the damage done to it, and preserving it for the future.Over 30 trips—traveled by foot, light aircraft, seagoing vessels, canoes, and even balloons, through extreme heat and cold and in sometimes dangerous conditions—Salgado created a collection of images showing us nature, animals, and indigenous peoples in breathtaking beauty. What does one discover in GENESIS? The animal species and volcanoes of the Galápagos; penguins, sea lions, cormorants, and whales of the Antarctic and South Atlantic; Brazilian alligators and jaguars; African lions, leopards, and elephants; the isolated Zo’é tribe deep in the Amazon jungle; the Stone Age Korowai people of West Papua; nomadic Dinka cattle farmers in Sudan; Nenet nomads and their reindeer herds in the Arctic Circle; Mentawai jungle communities on islands west of Sumatra; the icebergs of the Antarctic; the volcanoes of Central Africa and the Kamchatka Peninsula; Saharan deserts; the Negro and Juruá rivers in the Amazon; the ravines of the Grand Canyon; the glaciers of Alaska... and beyond. Having dedicated so much time, energy, and passion to the making of this work, Salgado calls GENESIS “my love letter to the planet.”

Emilia Bergmark-Jiménez egen förlossning 2017 tog fyra dygn och lämnade fler traumatiska minnen än hon först trodde. Det var det största som hänt henne men hon kunde efteråt inte förstå hur det är möjligt att föda barn på annat sätt än genom akuta snitt. Ur rädslan och nyfikenheten föddes projektet Svenska förlossningar, där Emilia under de senaste tre åren har närvarat vid och fotograferat ett stort antal födslar. Den här boken berättar i text och bild om tretton av dem och innehåller bilder från många fler, med olika förutsättningar och förlopp. Texten är skriven ur Emilias perspektiv, med samma känsla som hennes första bok En förälders födelse, och kommer att täcka både högaktuella aspekter av förlossningsvården, hur det är att föda barn i Sverige idag, och djupt existentiella frågeställningar. Det är en berättelse om den första gränsen mellan liv och död, och vad som händer med författaren när hon återvänder dit.

Sebastião Salgado’s photo book classic Workers. An Archaeology of the Industrial Age (first published in 1993) pays tribute to the time-honored tradition of manual labor in the new millennium when machines and computers replace human workers throughout the globe. With images of striking beauty and integrity, Salgado composes a visual elegy for the working men and women, whose indomitable spirit has prevailed over the harshest of conditions to achieve a singular grace.More than those of any other living photographer, Sebastião Salgado’s images of the world’s poor stand in tribute to the human condition. Salgado defines his work as “militant photography”, dedicated to “the best comprehension of human being”; over the decades he has bestowed great dignity on the most isolated and neglected among us — from famine-stricken refugees in the Sahel to the indigenous peoples of South America. With Workers, Salgado brings us a global epic that transcends mere image making to become an affirmation of the enduring spirit of working men and women. In this volume, three hundred fifty duotone photographs form an archaeological perspective of the activities that have defined hard work from the Stone Age through the Industrial Revolution to the present. With images of the infernal landscape of an Indonesian sulfur mine, the drama of traditional Sicilian tuna fishing, and the staggering endurance of Brazilian gold miners, Salgado unearths layers of visual information to reveal the ceaseless human activity at the core of modern civilization.Workers presents its subject on several interactive levels: Salgado’s introductory text, written in collaboration with Brazilian author Eric Nepomuceno, expands his passionate photographic iconography; extended captions, also written by Salgado, provide a historical and factual framework. Honoring the timeless and indomitable spirit of the manual laborer, Workers renders the human condition with honesty and respect.

The best photo assignments from the Monocle archive, published to mark the magazine's fifteenth anniversary. Back in 2007 the first issues of Monocle magazine hit newsstands and kiosks around the globe. At its core was a pledge to commission all original photography – capturing the world on film, on the ground and in the moment. The cover of that first issue featured a Japanese helicopter pilot from the country's defence force – taken as part of a 10-day reportage assignment for both photographer and writer. In the years since, Monocle has continued in its pursuit of documenting the world through its unique lens – from embassies and residences to world leaders and cultural stars. Each issue has featured a dedicated photographic Expo section celebrating lesser-known locales, obscure events and curious characters through truly outstanding photography. Alpine wrestlers, Syrian outposts, French legionnaires, noodle-makers, game show hosts and private member’s clubs have all graced the pages. The Monocle Book of Photography draws on the best of these photographic stories from an archive a decade and a half in the making. A handsome linen bound edition with the highest quality gloss paper and printing, the book also features supporting text about the photo assignments and the stories behind them, including first hand accounts from the photographers involved.

Every one of the world's half a million tennis courts is, at its most basic, an identical blank canvas: a 78-foot by 36-foot rectangle, divided by a 3-foot-high net in its centre, and marked with eleven straight lines. But add in the elements of surface, space, wind, acoustics, crowds, shadows, humidity, and even air density, and every tennis court is unique-a work of art. And some are masterpieces.Nick Pachelli curates and profiles 200 of the world's most beautiful, iconic, significant, alluring, and idiosyncratic tennis courts from across the globe, each breathtakingly photographed. He explores the heavyweights, including Wimbledon's All England Lawn Tennis Club, which employs a hawk to keep stray birds from soiling the meticulous lawns. Arthur Ashe, the Grandstand, and Court 17 in Flushing, Queens, where hundreds of thousands of tennis fans gather every summer for the US Open. And there's Court Philippe-Chatrier at Roland-Garros, whose clay seems to take on a different shade-burnt orange, burnt red, burgundy, umber-every time you see it.We visit far-flung treasures, such as Waiheke Tennis Club in New Zealand, where you'll need to take a plane, then a ferry, then a car or bus, and then walk before arriving there. Indoor marvels, including the Tennis Club de Belgique, which evokes the hushed, reverent feeling of a theatre, with skylights illuminating the court and leaving the spectators in the shadows. Hidden jewels, such as the tiny Tennis Club San Stin in Venice, a secret, single outdoor clay court tucked away behind a villa and a 15-foot wall shrouded with vines.There are urban courts, including the Knickerbocker Field Club, deep in the heart of Flatbush, Brooklyn. Academies, like Rafael Nadal's tennis temple in Mallorca, Spain. And the extreme: a single court completely isolated in the wilds of Scotland; a court in northern Spain revealed when the tide goes out, the sand hardens, and the metallic plates that serve as lines re-emerge; and a court in Kenya made out of termite mounds.Throughout, Pachelli not only conducts a masterful, once-in-a-lifetime tour of the world's best courts, but in his writing does something equally immersive: He captures the real passion-some might say obsession-that tennis inspires. Because it's on the court, no matter how grandiose or mundane, whether in an exotic locale or around the corner, where tennis players truly see themselves. Where we come face-to-face with our temperament, our drive, our frustration, our bliss, our longing."This book made me fall in love with tennis all over again."―Rennae Stubbs, former world No. 1 and six-time Grand Slam champion"How had I been so blind? I'd seen a tennis court as an arrangement of lines, neat boxes, a net. This book reveals so much more: spaces within spaces, quirks and surfaces, shadows and light, and the communities most of all. What a gift. I won't look at the game the same way again."―Louisa Thomas, staff writer, The New Yorker"A pure pleasure to read and peruse."―Christopher Clarey, New York Times bestselling author"From Kent to Kenya, Marrakech to Melbourne. Indoors, outdoors. Seaside and underground. Pachelli captures the magic in this masterful book, which celebrates not just tennis, but this topspinning orb we call planet Earth."―Jon Wertheim, New York Times bestselling author and correspondent for 60 Minutes"I've been around tennis all over the world, and this book truly speaks to the beauty and importance of tennis courts, whether at tennis academies or remote public courts. Every tennis player and fan will enjoy this book."―Patrick Mouratoglou, world-renowned tennis coach and founder of Mouratoglou Academy"This book contains hundreds of beautifully photographed tennis courts. The real joy, though, is found in the stories that unfold about each one."―Katrina M. Adams, author and former president of the USTA"Detailing the remote and far-removed to the legendary courts that have hosted the most storied events in tennis history, this gorgeous book lends us a lens to encounter the world."―Caitlin Thompson, founder of Racquet magazine"Can't travel right now? No worries; Nick Pachelli has got you covered. My recommendation: Open the book to a random page and start dreaming away. And who knows? One day you may find yourself exactly there. A truly dreamy book!"―Andrea Petkovic, former top-10 professional tennis player, host, and writer"A stunning celebration of tennis that speaks to the heart of anyone with a passion for a pastime."―Tom Coyne, New York Times bestselling author

"Boken karaktäriseras till stor del av fina och ibland poetiska ögonblicksbilder. [...] Samtidigt har författarna en problematiserande och övergripande blick.[...] Mats Andréasson och Peter Örn reflekterar motiverat över att de som skrivande besökare ingår i en kolonial tradition, men lyckas undvika att beskriva befolkningens levnadssätt som exotiskt. Det gör dock inte att de väjer för att diskutera allvarliga problem" Henrik Wiktor, BTJ-häftet nr 7, 2023. Betyg: 4 av 5.
"Mats Andréasson och Peter Örn har gett oss boken om ett område på planeten som nu nästan varje vecka tar plats i forskarnas och medias klimatlarm. Men vars historia, människor, natur och kultur de flesta av oss inte vet särskilt mycket om. Nu kan den bristen avhjälpas!" Stefan Edman, Tidskriften Pilgrim nr 4/2023
"Örn berättar med stor respekt och kärlek om sitt Grönland. Med samma ömhet fotograferar Andreasson fiske och jakt, samhällen och människor. [...] Tack Mats Andreasson och Peter Örn för en vacker och viktig bok!" Ann Mellblom, Min Husbil i Sverige.
Grönland - världens största ö. På en yta fem gånger så stor som Sverige lever 57 000 invånare.
En gång kom människor hit på jakt efter mat och möjligheter att bo. För att överleva måste de lära sig att leva i Arktisvinterns extrema kyla och mörker. De skapade sin egen kultur av berättelser, legender och religiösa myter. Och de döpte landet till Kalaallit Nunaat - människornas land . Om det landet vill boken berätta.
I ord och bild berättar författarna om det väldiga Grönland - ett väglöst land där människor ofta reser med hundsläde mellan byarna på vintern och med båt och kajak på sommaren. I en litterär reseskildring tas läsaren med till olika delar av Grönland och får ta del av personliga berättelser om vardagen. Skildringen av Grönland är en ofrånkomlig berättelse om människans nödvändiga anpassning till naturens växlingar och vädrets nyckfullhet och klimatets långsiktiga förändring.
Mats Andréasson har i sin profession lång erfarenhet av vatten och miljöfrågor. Naturens rikedom att skapa andrum har alltid lockat oavsett om det gäller att färdas på den grönländska havsisen eller i det fantastiska svenska naturlandskapet. Mats har bland annat skrivit böckerna Vid rinnande vatten och Värt en omväg.
Peter Örn har tidigare arbetat med ledarskap i organisationer som präglas av arbetet för solidaritet och respekt för människors lika värde. Peter har bland annat skrivit böckerna Ledare och Prostatacancer - en bok om hopp.
Mats och Peter har tidigare skrivit boken Den ljusnande framtid tillsammans, utgiven på Votum Förlag, om hållbar utveckling med respekt för människans och naturens gränser.

I sin nya bok återvänder Simon Johansson till samma domäner som låg till grund för hans debutbok, Across the Bridge (2016). Nu som då är det inte bara en serie vardagliga observationer – det är dags att knyta ihop lösa ändar och avsluta. No Man’s Land handlar om en nära krets av människor i en liten by på Öland. Här bor bönder sida vid sida med ett konstnärskollektiv. Deras liv och arbete är sammanflätade. Bönderna engagerar sig i konstprojekt och konstnärerna deltar i odlingen. Efter att ha bott många år där känner Simon Johansson byborna väl. Han har sett dynamiken på nära håll. – Genom att skildra vardagen i byn beskriver jag den universella driften att vara betydelsefull för andra, att vara en del av ett sammanhang, säger Simon Johansson. – Utgångspunkten för projektet är min egen upplevelse av när det sammanhanget togs ifrån mig. Slutet på ett förhållande förvandlades till ett känslomässigt trauma. Det handlar om hur mitt liv i byn faller samman och hur jag lämnar en älskad plats. Fotografen arbetar med No Man's Land-soundtracket som kommer att släppas på alla digitala plattformar och på vinyl 2024. Texterna till låtarna finns med som en separat del i boken.

“In GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen.” —Sebastião Salgado On a very fortuitous day in 1970, 26-year-old Sebastião Salgado held a camera for the first time. When he looked through the viewfinder, he experienced a revelation: suddenly life made sense. From that day onward—though it took years of hard work before he had the experience to earn his living as a photographer—the camera became his tool for interacting with the world.

Raised on a farm in Brazil, Salgado possessed a deep love and respect for nature; he was also particularly sensitive to the ways in which human beings are affected by their often devastating socio-economic conditions. Of the myriad works Salgado has produced in his acclaimed career, three long-term projects stand out: Workers (1993), documenting the vanishing way of life of manual laborers across the world; Migrations (2000), a tribute to mass migration driven by hunger, natural disasters, environmental degradation and demographic pressure; and this new opus, GENESIS, the result of an epic eight-year expedition to rediscover the mountains, deserts and oceans, the animals and peoples that have so far escaped the imprint of modern society—the land and life of a still-pristine planet. “Some 46% of the planet is still as it was in the time of genesis,” Salgado reminds us. “We must preserve what exists.” The GENESIS project, along with the Salgados’ Instituto Terra, are dedicated to showing the beauty of our planet, reversing the damage done to it, and preserving it for the future.

Having dedicated so much time, energy, and passion to the making of this work, Salgado calls GENESIS “my love letter to the planet.”INSTITUTO TERRAFounded in 1998 at Aimorés in the state of Minas Gerais, Instituto Terra is the culmination of Lélia Wanick Salgado and Sebastião Salgado’s lifelong activism and work as cultural documentarians. Through a scientific program of planting and raising saplings, the organization has performed a miraculous reforestation of the once infertile region and furthered the Salgados’ mission of reversing the damage done to our planet. TASCHEN is proud to reach carbon zero status through our continued partnership.

Ernest Cole: House of Bondage
Inbunden, Engelska, 2022

First published in 1967, Ernest Cole’s House of Bondage has been lauded as one of the most significant photobooks of the twentieth century, revealing the horrors of apartheid to the world for the first time and influencing generations of photographers around the globe. Reissued for contemporary audiences, this edition adds a chapter of unpublished work found in a recently resurfaced cache of negatives and recontextualizes this pivotal book for our time.Cole, a Black South African man, photographed the underbelly of apartheid in the 1950s and ’60s, often at great personal risk. He methodically captured the myriad forms of violence embedded in everyday life for the Black majority under the apartheid system—picturing its miners, its police, its hospitals, its schools. In 1966, Cole fled South Africa and smuggled out his negatives; House of Bondage was published the following year with his writings and first-person account. This edition retains the powerful story of the original while adding new perspectives on Cole’s life and the legacy of House of Bondage. It also features an added chapter—compiled and titled “Black Ingenuity” by Cole—of never-before-seen photographs of Black creative expression and cultural activity taking place under apartheid. Made available again nearly fifty-five years later, House of Bondage remains a visually powerful and politically incisive document of the apartheid era.

Under fyra decennier, från 1973 till 2013, dokumenterade fotografen och författaren Jens S Jensen (19462015) Hammarkullen utanför Göteborg. Det är en helt unik skildring av ett miljonprogramsområde och dess invånare. Jensens blick för både samhälleliga strukturer och de enskilda människornas liv och drömmar gör att dokumentationen blir en djupdykning i ett Sverige präglat av såväl rekordåren som nedmonteringen av välfärdsstaten. Med tio års mellanrum återkom Jensen till både Hammarkullen och de personer han mötte 1973. I den historia som bilderna och berättelserna formar får vi följa hur deras liv utvecklas och de förändringar bostadsområdet och samhället genomgår. I mitten på 1970-talet gjorde Jensen även en inträngande dokumentation av Volvofabriken i Torslanda, som då var Europas största bilfabrik. Han intervjuade arbetarna och företagsledningen och skildrade det slitsamma jobbet vid bandet. Dokumentationen av Hammarkullen och Volvo bildar en diptyk som handlar om två fundament i det moderna samhället arbete och boende och hur det på ett genomgripande sätt styr människors liv och möjligheter. Parallellt med de stora dokumentära projekten gjorde Jens S Jensen också en rad mer personliga arbeten. De kretsar kring relationer och barn och att skapa ett liv. Här finns också en mörk familjehistoria som sträcker bakåt till 1900-talets början, och bort till platser som Tahiti. I sin omfattande essä skriver Niclas Östlind om Jensens arbete och väver samman de olika delarna och sätter hans samlade verk i ett vidare fotohistoriskt sammanhang. Det börjar med de första publiceringarna i svenska och internationella fototidskrifter i början av 1970-talet och avslutas med medverkan i utställningen The Century of the Child på Museum of Modern Art i New York 2012 och utställningen Hammarkullen 40 år senare på Hasselblad center 2013. Boken är rikt illustrerad med återgivningar i faksimil ur Jensens böcker och ett stort antal tidigare inte publicerade bilder. Den innehåller också ett samtal om Jens S Jensens arbete och betydelse mellan fotograferna och konstnärerna Annika Elisabeth von Hausswolff, Kerstin Hamilton, Jenny Källman och Hendrik Zeitler.Boken är utgiven i samarbete med Göteborgs Stadsmuseum.

TÄLTPROJEKTET! Den stora teaterturnén om den svenska arbetarrörelsens historia, som gick genom Sverige under sommaren 1977, har väl undgått få. Ett gigantiskt teaterkoncept, som bara blev möjligt genom gemensamma, solidariska insatser av ett gäng entusiastiska skådespelare, manusförfattare, musiker, filmare och aktivister.
Här fanns namn som Sven Wollter, Johannes Brost, Eva Remæus, Ninne Olsson, Totta Näslund, Ulf Dageby, bröderna Segerström, Anki Rahlskog, Sonja Lund, Björn Granath och många, många flera.
Pjäsen gestaltade hela historien från August Palms första tal i Malmö till Olof Palmes dagar som de själva levde i. Nästan hundra föreställningar blev det, från Luleå i norr till Köpenhamn i söder. De höll på i nära fem månader. Omöjligheten låg i brist på pengar och i logistiken.
Men det gick - och det gick bra. Bortåt 100 000 människor kom, såg, lyssnade och förundrades.
TÄLTBOKEN: Att göra det omöjliga möjligt fångar detta historiska projekt. Främst i bild, men också i text. Det är en bok som vill ge inspiration och hopp i till synes hopplösa tider. Kunde dessa människor, liksom från ingenstans, utan pengar och möjligheter, skapa ett av de största tältteaterprojekten genom tiderna, så borde inget vara omöjligt. Tillsammans går det. TÄLTBOKEN är beviset.
"...grundligt och detaljerat om hur allt började, och hur det genomfördes. (...) Tältprojektet var storslaget och unikt och det hade inte varit genomförbart utan det magnifika samarbetet. Denna kollektiva bragd var också en del av magin under föreställningarna. (...) Tältboken är ett viktigt historiskt dokument och författarna hoppas att deras äventyr ska inspirera vår tids unga. Helhetsbetyg: 5 (av 5)." BTJ, Ylva Floreman
"Det är en detaljrik och faktatät prosa vi har att göra med. (...) "Tältbokens" stora behållning är i stället det rika bildmaterialet. Både själva teaterföreställningen, förberedelserna och livet runtomkring är representerat mellan pärmarna. Det är progg- och 70-talspornografi i sin bästa form: gigantiska pilotglasögon, bröstfickor som putar ut av cigarettpaket, inte en bh så långt ögat kan nå. (...) På så vis är "Tältboken" ett beaktansvärt tidsdokument över en tid och en rörelse som bevisade att allt är möjligt - även det omöjliga." Göteborgs-Posten, Linus Kuhlin

A glorious fusion of history and art, A Vast Horizon tells the story of Pablo Picasso and his free-spirited friends, including Lee Miller and Man Ray, in the tumultuous years around the Second World War.‘Excellent and revealing . . . at the end we feel their loss as if they had been our friends’ - Antony Penrose, Lee Miller Archives'At once intimate and expansive . . . a fascinating portrait' - Clare Mulley, author of Agent ZoLate summer 1937. Europe is inching towards war. In the South of France a group of friends picnic in a secluded clearing. The women have peeled down their dresses to their waists. A couple kiss playfully while the others look on, laughing. The moment is captured in Lee Miller's now-iconic image.Some of the friends are well known, others less so: the dancer Ady Fidelin, the poet Paul Éluard and his wife Nusch, the Surrealists Man Ray and Roland Penrose. They are spending the summer with fellow artists Dora Maar, Eileen Agar and Pablo Picasso.In A Vast Horizon biographer Anna Thomasson tells the story of their creativity, friendships and pursuit of freedom set against the tense political backdrop of the 1930s, the Second World War and its aftermath. Tracing their lives through their photographs, artworks, poems and letters, from the heady weeks of creativity, sex and collaboration of that Mediterranean summer through the tumultuous years that followed, it is the story of rebellious lives and the redemptive power of art.

For most people locations that hold a particular importance for the development of our society and for the advancement of science and technology often remain hidden from view. They are separate and protected, such as CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, close to the city of Geneva. CERN is best known for its giant particle accelerator. Here researchers from around the world take part in a diverse array of fundamental physical research, in the pursuit of knowledge that will perhaps one day revolutionize our understanding of the universe and life on our planet. The Swiss photographer Andri Pol mixed with this multicultural community of researchers and followed their work over an extended period of time. In doing so he created a unique portrait of this fascinating underworld.A" The cutting-edge research is given a human face and even if we don't fully understand the processes at work, the pictures allow us to perceive how in this world of the tiniest particles the biggest connections are searched for. With an explanatory text and scientific-philosophical essay.

'This book really brings those early years back to me. Kevin's photographs captured us at the very beginning. This is a must-have book for every Oasis fan.' Noel Gallagher'As iconic photographer, adventurous fan and inside eye-witness, Kevin Cummins has always been where the cultural action is.' Paul Morley"Cummins, typical Manc, combining art with a good time, a sense of beauty, which explains the iconic shots of Liam and Noel in Man City shirts: memorable, defining images." - Miranda Sawyer, Observer'No one has captured the look of alternative UK music over the past half a century more tellingly than Kevin Cummins.' Simon Armitage***How does a band come into being? What are the myriad forces that shape their sound, look and identity? In 1993, Oasis signed to Creation Records and were shortly to begin recording their first album. The following year began with a masterplan - the creation of Oasis. At the centre of this enterprise was celebrated photographer Kevin Cummins, brought on board to help the band find a look that fitted their sound. In Oasis: The Masterplan we follow Cummins as he photographs the band as they cement their identity.Noel Gallagher's thoughts on football, fashion and music and his recollections of that formative year sit alongside those of Cummins himself. Throughout, we see how Oasis played with fashion and were taught how to pose and present themselves as they approached the summer when their first album, Definitely Maybe was released. The story from that moment on is well-known. Featuring 75% previously unseen images the book reveals just how effective the masterplan was to get them to that point.

Café 6:an, en liten och omodern men mycket populär kaffeservering, låg mellan åren 1965 och 1983 på Skeppsbron 6 i Stockholm. Där kunde såväl byggarbetare som ambassadpersonal och konstnärer inta grötfrukostar, matiga lunchmackor med pannbiffar eller eftermiddagskaffe med nygräddad sockerkaka.
I november 1983 dokumenterade Lennart Engström, då elev på Nordens fotoskola, Café 6:an. Han fotograferade de två äldre damer som drev rörelsen, lokalen de arbetade i samt de många stamgästerna. Idag, när så många kaféer i Stockholms innerstad drivs av stora affärskedjor, visar hans bilder hur en rörelse av detta slag kunde drivas genom både stort engagemang och personliga uppoffringar.
I Lennart Engströms fotografier och Bo Larssons inledande text, som bygger på intervjuer med innehavarnas döttrar, upplevs Stockholms kafékultur från förr.

In Overburden, photographer Mikael Lundström journeys through the central Appalachian mountains in the East of the USA, an area shaped by coal-mining, poverty, and deep religion. It is also thought to be the birthplace of country music. The first settlers, fleeing religious persecution in their home countries, appreciated the remoteness and quiet of the region. Over many generations, they lived separate from other immigrants, resulting in the formation of a unique mountain culture. However, this relative isolation was brought to an end at the close of the 19th century with the rise of the coal industry. Mining settlements sprang up around the mines, revealing the harsh face of capitalism. The mixture of old mining traditions, new waves of immigration, and the ruthless exploitation of people and nature continues to shape the area to the present day.Now that the coal mines have shut down, the population of these once-flourishing mining towns is dwindling, and the opioid crisis has left behind deep scars. Lundström’s images are an uncensored yet empathetic testimony to the region. They tell of turbulent times and of the people who live and work here, the daily challenges they face, and the hopes that carry them through.

This book is an intimate portrait of grief, a chronicle that charts the devastation visited upon a large, multi-generational family in the wake of the senseless, random murder of twenty-one-year-old Tyler Kobe Nichols on December 23, 2020.With the cooperation and full participation of the Nichols-Chambers family, photographer Spencer Ostrander was granted privileged access to the household. Over the course of the next several months, he conducted one-on-one interviews with each member of that household along with Tyler's closest friends and, in the natural light of those settings, compiled a large dossier of photographic portraits of each person involved in the story.The result is an astonishing ensemble of pictures and words that pierces through the cold statistics we use to talk about the wave of street violence spreading across the country to focus on one person, one family, one lost life, and transform the numbers into vivid, aching human reality.
