A mere three years later came the advent of fashion photography led by photographers such as Edward Steichen Horst and Cecil Beaton and fashion editors like Carmel Snow and Diana Vreeland. Jewelry long a symbol of wealth took on an added role as the ultimate fashion accessory with Tiffany designer Jean Schlumberger leading the way. This fascinating lavishly illustrated book surveys the parallel growth of fashion photography from Steichen to Avedon and fashion jewelry begun by Schlumberger and continued by his successors at Tiffany including Elsa Peretti and Paloma Picasso to become the celebrity-studded industry it is today.

Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. 8vo. 8 x 5.5 x 0.7 inches. 280 pages. Weight: 13.6 ounces. Trade Paperback. Describing mind-altering adventures on the Colorado Plateau Paul Rea hikes through Canyonlands Grand Gulch Havasu and Zion canyons and rafts the Colorado Dolores Green and San Juan rivers. He explores and celebrates the enchanted colorful desert in sensuous introspective and playful ways. "Seated on a mossy rock nude" he writes "I wave to the California Zephyr across the river. Many years ago riding this train home from the Summer of Love I first beheld the red rock country in this very canyon." Even the earth comes alive in Rea's prose: "The dark gneiss seethes then shimmers like a translucent veil across the bare-boned rock." He tells how he repeatedly returned to the desert evolving from "greenhorn" to "greybeard" as he became bonded to the landscape. These exciting life-affirming and thought-provoking stories are so seductive that readers will get lost in them just as easily as a hiker traversing the landscape itself.

Very Near Fine in Wraps: shows only the most minute indications of use: just a hint of wear to extremities; mildest rubbing; former bookseller's logo at front endpaper. Binding square and secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. 8vo. 176pp. Trade Paperback. This book is a funny gentle and brainy exploration of nature writers and their subject. Though Robertson is clearly very knowledgeable this book is not a guided tour. It is a search. Which is not to say the author has no particular point of view. Robertson IS preaching here a bit about the importance of nature and all "real matter" in our lives among other things. What makes this book so special is that with a twinkle in his eye he preaches from the pews as well as from the pulpit. University of Utah Press, paperback

Earthsong.
New York NY Phaidon Press 2004. Paperback First Ed thus later printing. Near Fine in Wraps: shows just a hint of wear to extremities; mildest rubbing; a couple of wrinkles at the bottom of the front panel near the hinge. Binding square and secure; text clean. Very close to 'As New'. NOT a Remainder Book-Club or Ex-Library. Folio. 232pp. Photography by Bernhard Edmaier. First Ed thus later printing. Trade Paperback. Edmaier takes us to a variety of isolated and relatively unpopulated areas for some terrific aerial photos of our planet. We see water ice tundra glaciers sandy deserts volcanoes coasts grassland and forests. And Jung-Huettl's descriptions of what we are seeing are nicely done. The overall effect is eerie as if the Earth were uninhabited by our species at least and we humans were looking the place over and trying to decide if we wanted to visit it live there or try someplace else. In any case the photographs are marvellous and show plenty of detail. If I were writing a book on planetary science I'd want to use a couple of these photos for the section on our little world.
