Ukraine has been among those countries most severely affected by the collapse of the Soviet Union, and one consequence of this collapse has been an epic spread of HIV infection: The World Health ...
	Andreas Feininger (Fotografie Portfolio) Born in France, the son of renowned artist Lyonel Feininger, Andreas Feininger was educated as an architect in Germany before he became a photographer. After working in Sweden, he came to the United States and in 1943, became a staff photographer at LIFE magazine, where he spent the next twenty years.

	Andreas Gefeller: SOMA In his disconcerting photographs, Düsseldorf-based artist Andreas Gefeller turns holiday sites on Gran Canaria (an insland off the west coast of Africa) into bleak Utopian backdrops. Although taken in a conventional, analog fashion, the pictures look as if they have been digitally altered, raising questions about the realness of reality and its representations. Essay by Andreas Gefeller, Christoph Ribbat and Gerhard Gluher. Hardcover, 11.5 x 9 in. 112 pages, 54 color illustrations...
	Andrew Lichtenstein: Never Coming Home America lies thousands of miles from the deserts of Iraq, and its civilians are rarely truly forced to confront the fact that it is a nation at war, and has been for more than four years. But every day, the list of casualties grows longer. The men and women killed in Iraq are buried every week back home. Their funerals are not dramatic national events, and they are rarely sites of political soul searching. Most families want to grieve privately, to remember their children as they knew them and a...
	Angelo Musco Evoking subterranean worlds in a sort of travel diary to the center of the world and beyond, Angelo Musco here frees himself from the anguish of his own birth, which took place after 11 long months of gestation. Like Virgil in the Divine Comedy, the artist guides us, through his digital photographs, into worlds that, almost unbeknownst to us, pulsate beneath the earth's crust. Essays by Ombretta Agró and John Berendt. Paperback, 9.5 x 11 in. 152 pages, 260 color illustrations...

This is a book about being young, and crazy for music, and for the moment's brightest stars. This is a book about the ritual of a rock concert, and it captures that spirit of cele...

	Angels in the Architecture: A Photographic Elegy to an American Asylum (Great Lakes Books) In the nineteenth century, perhaps no approach to mental illness was more compassionate than that of hospital administrator Thomas Story Kirkbride, whose asylum designs integrated beauty and nature as a method to treat patients. The Northern Michigan Asylum in Traverse City, Michigan, was one of the last of nearly tow hundred such architecturally intriguing asylums. Founded in 1885 under the principle "beauty is therapy," the Northern Michigan Asylum closed in 1989 and today stands as a haunting...
