Описание: The original, instant classic which set the world afire. The first book to introduce the phenomenon that is the life story and work of Vivian Maier.
A good street photographer must be possessed of many talents: an eye for detail, light, and composition; impeccable timing; a populist or humanitarian outlook; and a tireless ability to constantly shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot and never miss a moment. It is hard enough to find these qualities in trained photographers with the benefit of schooling and mentors and a community of fellow artists and aficionados supporting and rewarding their efforts. It is incredibly rare to find it in someone with no formal training and no network of peers. Yet Vivian Maier is all of these things, a professional nanny, who from the 1950s until the 1990s took over 100,000 photographs worldwide--from France to New York City to Chicago and dozens of other countries--and yet showed the results to no one. The photos are amazing both for the breadth of the work and for the high quality of the humorous, moving, beautiful, and raw images of all facets of city life in America's post-war golden age. It wasn't until local historian John Maloof purchased a box of Maier's negatives from a Chicago auction house and began collecting and championing her marvelous work just a few years ago that any of it saw the light of day. Presented here for the first time in print, Vivian Maier: Street Photographer collects the best of her incredible, unseen body of work. Please note that all blank pages in the book were chosen as part of the design by the publisher.

Описание:
The definitive monograph of American photographer Vivian Maier, exploring the full range and brilliance of her work and the mystery of her life, written and edited by noted photography curator and writer Marvin Heiferman; featuring 250 black-and-white images, color work, and other materials never seen before; and a foreword by New York Times bestselling author Laura Lippman.
Vivian Maier's story--the secretive nanny-photographer during her life who becomes a popular sensation shortly after her death--has, to date, been pieced together only from previously seen or known images she made and the handful of facts that have surfaced about her life. During her lifetime she shot more than 100,000 images, which she kept hidden from the world. In 2007, two years before her death, Chicago historic preservationist John Maloof discovered a trove of negatives, and roll upon roll of undeveloped film in a storage locker he bought at auction. They revealed a surprising and accomplished artist and a stunning body of work, which Maloof championed and brought to worldwide acclaim.
Vivian Maier presents the most comprehensive collection and largest selection of the photographer's work--created during the 1950s through the 1970s in New York, Chicago, and on her travels around the country--almost exclusively unpublished and including her previously unknown color work. It features images of and excerpts from Maier's personal artifacts, memorabilia, and audiotapes, made available for the first time. This remarkable volume draws upon recently conducted interviews with people who knew Maier, which shed new light on Maier's photographic skill and her life.

Описание: A full-career retrospective on the work of Vivian Maier, bringing together a selection of key works from throughout her life and career. When Vivian Maier's archive was discovered in Chicago in 2007, the photography community gained an immense and singular talent. Maier lived in relative obscurity until her death in 2009, but is now the subject of films and books, and recognized as one of the great American photographers of the 20th century.
Born in New York in 1926, she worked as a nanny in New York and Chicago for much of her adult life. It was during her years as a nanny that she took many of the photographs that have made her posthumously famous. Maier's incredible body of work consists of more than 150,000 photographic images, Super 8 and 16 mm films, various recordings and a multitude of undeveloped films.
Working primarily as a street photographer, Maier's work has been compared with such luminaries as Helen Levitt, Robert Frank, Diane Arbus and Joel Meyerowitz. Drawing on previously unpublished archives and recent scientific analyses, this retrospective sheds new light on Maier's work. With texts by Anne Morin and Christa Blumlinger, this thorough look at Maier's entire archive is organized thematically in sections that cover self-portraits, the street, portraits, gestures, cinematography, children, colour work and forms.
A valuable addition to the continuing assessment of Maier's work, this book is a one-volume compendium of her most enduring images.

Описание: The first definitive monograph of color photographs by American street photographer Vivian Maier. Photographer Vivian Maier`s allure endures even though many details of her life continue to remain a mystery.
Описание: Bridging the Gap. This book provides a fascinating, well-researched, and thorough discussionof the connections between science and spirituality, including religion. It is eye-opening and allows readers to truly redefine how they look at these disciplines while providing, at the same time, a vibrant perspective for those embarking on such an exercise for the first time. Science investigates the physical world, where space, time, and matter comprise the main aspects of its empirical approach, that is, of physically proving all that there is around us. Spirituality goes beyond the physical. Here, physical quantities become non-existent

Описание: From 1907 to 1931 at Tendaguru, a remote site in present-day Tanzania, teams of German (and later British) paleontologists unearthed 220 tons of fossils, including the bones of a new dinosaur, one of the largest then known. For decades the mounted skeleton of this giant, Brachiosaurus, was the largest skeleton of a land animal on exhibit in the world. The dinosaur and other animal fossils found at Tendaguru form one of the cornerstones of our understanding of life in the Mesozoic era. Visited sporadically during the '30s and '40s, Tendaguru again became the site of scientific interest late in the 20th century. African Dinosaurs Unearthed tells the story of driven scientific adventurers working under difficult conditions and often paying the price with their health—and sometimes with their lives. Set against the background of a troubled century, the book reveals how scientific endeavors were carried on through war and political turmoil, and continue into the present day.

«The Disney Corporation has recently found itself embroiled in the so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ legislation debates in Florida. Disney, as both filmmaker and global conglomerate, remains a powerful force in representations of diversity in American culture. The essays in Neo-Disneyism include examinations of films such as Return to Neverland, Luca, and Encanto, and Disney’s own reinterpretations of its classics in its live-action remakes, as well as examining the theme parks. This groundbreaking book offers new perspectives in Disney scholarship as well as bringing a critical eye to the most pressing issues of identity in our current time.»
(Professor Johnson Cheu, Michigan State University)
«This collection is a needed reassessment of Disney media adaptations in the last twenty years. The essays consider examples of inclusivity and the gaps needing transformation, underscoring the potential for an iconic American symbol of commercial success to advance social justice, gender equity, and racial/ethnic inclusivity, encouraging difficult conversations.»
(Professor Pushpa Parekh, Spelman College)
In 2003 Brenda Ayres published The Emperor’s Old Groove: Decolonizing Disney’s Magic Kingdom with Peter Lang. The contributors to its collection of essays arguedthat although the Disney Company had been making attempts to representmulticultural diversity, it persisted in inculcating insidious racial, cultural, andgender stereotypes. Nearly twenty years have passed since that analysis, andcurrent scholars—many of them young and non-Western—are assessingmore recent Disney films and finding them to be more inclusive, tolerant, andaffirmative than previous works from the magic kingdom. The appraisal of Disney entertainment in the twenty-first century is the focus of the thirteen chapters by scholarly contributors from around the globe, finding it to be more inclusive, tolerant, and affirmative of multiple cultures, ethnicities, nationalities, and gender as well as the differently abled and mentally challenged. The analysis also suggests what Disney might yet do to promote peace, harmony, and wellbeing in a world that desperately needs to learn how to get along with others.
