Look Again
The extraordinary, riotous life of iconic photographer David Bailey - from the Second World War to the Swinging Sixties, from Eighties excess to the present day.
David Bailey
Determining the perfect exposure time for a photographic print in a traditional darkroom can be a time-consuming and tedious process, and the irreverent David Bailey has never had much patience for it. Normally a photographer makes a number of test strips, each showing different exposure times; but Bailey has always just intuitively torn off strips of the unexposed paper to find the desired result. Over the decades Bailey has kept his test tears, re-fixing and washing them to preserve the unpredictable and unique qualities of these accidents. This book contains a selection of Baileys tears, which transform some of his most famous motifs into fascinating abstract pictures through their torn edges and myriad tones.
Advancing Variable Star Astronomy
Founded in 1911, the AAVSO boasts over 1200 members and observers and is the world's largest non-profit organization dedicated to variable star observation. This timely book marks the AAVSO's centennial year, presenting an authoritative and accurate history of this important association. Writing in an engaging and accessible style, the authors move chronologically through five eras of the AAVSO, discussing the evolution of its structure and purpose. Throughout the text, the main focus is on the thousands of individuals whose contributions have made the AAVSO's progress possible. Describing a century of interaction between amateur and professional astronomers, the authors celebrate the collaborative relationships that have existed over the years. As the definitive history of the first hundred years of the AAVSO, this text has broad appeal and will be of interest to amateur and professional astronomers, as well as historians and sociologists of science in general.
Jericho James - Whatever Suits Your Fancy
They waited silently, each man in his own thoughts. After what seemed like hours, Doctor Ray Campbell came into the waiting room. As Jericho, Asa, and Abner came to their feet, Jericho asked, "well, Ray?" Ray Campbell looked solemn and replied, "we almost lost her, Jerry. She had a temp of one-hundred and four. We got her temperature down and she's resting comfortable now." All three men, replied, "thank God." Doctor Campbell said, "yeah, she got lucky."

David Bailey's Rock and Roll Heroes
David Bailey's photographs have helped to create the face of modern pop. He has trained his camera on most of the pop icons since the 1960s, and this volume brings together more than 80 of his most vivid and indelible images of the pop scene, from his earliest photographs of Mick Jagger, Lennon and McCartney and The Who, to his later portraits of Liam and Noel Gallagher of Oasis. There are pictures of Patti Smith and Bob Dylan, John Lydon and Boy George, Tina Turner and Sting. There is a session from 1985's Live Aid showing Bob Geldoff and Queen at a moment of glory, and there are classic heroes too: a grinning Fred Astaire, an offbeat Miles Davis, and a solemn Duke Ellington.
