Libros de Historia y crítica de la fotografía, página 31 de 301

Showcasing both iconic and little-known images, this is the most comprehensive anthology of images by the great "LIFE" photographers ever assembled. From Marilyn Monroe to the first pictures inside the womb, this startling rich collection of both color and black-and-white photographs is a vivid fulfillment of Henry Luce''s charge: "To see life; to see the world . . . to be amazed!"

This is a volume of living history - the history of our times, as seen by the photographers who captured it. It is the most comprehensive anthology of life photography ever assembled, and illustrates the strengths that made many of these individuals famous - and life great. This book, an enormous international success in hardback, is now available in a new, flexibound format.

Our beautifully produced large format edition of Michael Poliza''s Africa was hailed by many as one of the best books on this subject ever published. Africa is now a bestseller with worldwide distribution. Since a gigantic coffee table book weighing over five kilos (13 pounds) may not be everyone''s idea of the perfect travel companion, we have decided to bow to popular demand and publish The Essential Africa. This is a more concise, portable edition of the large format book which will include the very best of Africa and half of its photographs. We believe we''ve succeeded in making the breathtakingly beautiful photography of the large format edition accessible to the largest possible audience. Michael Poliza is a true adventurer and his voyage around the world on a 75 ft yacht was followed by millions via the internet. He is mainly based in Cape Town, and is a pioneer in the use of digital photography for illustrated books.
