Embrace Life
On April 6, 1994, the plane carrying the president of Rwanda was shot down. From that moment, 100 days of massacre began, leaving more than 1 million Tutsis dead and nearly 4 million displaced. Dydine Umunyana Anderson was only four years old when the genocide against Tutsis erupted, devastating the fertile "land of milk and honey." Thirty years after the violent onslaught by the Hutus, this testimony confronts us with the wounds of postcolonial Africa and reveals the long process of reconciliation that Rwanda and Dydine have undergone to heal and embrace life.
Imagine: Reflections on Peace
When battlefield prowess and political manipulation are not enough to achieve peace through victory, we summon our best and brightest to negotiate an end; we celebrate peace settlements; and we give prizes, if not to victors, then to visionaries. We exalt peace as a human achievement, and justly so. But the reality of peace is flawed. The rewards of peace are elusive for the men and women who live in the post-conflict societies of our time. Why is it so difficult to make a good peace when it is so easy to imagine? That is the question behind Imagine: Reflections on Peace. In this stunning collection, photographic essays make grippingly palpable the stakes during war and peace. Samantha Power...

André Carrara - Regards
How best to tell the life story of a fashion photographer? What was the common thread composing his career? How does his body of work and progression tie into the history of fashion photography? Regards spans 4 decades of the extraordinary professional career of a photographer whose discretion and elegance are reflected in this dedicated retrospective: a tribute to womanhood, to women in all their diversity, showcasing their timelessness, universality, sophistication, boldness, seductiveness, provocativeness and even at times their inaccessibility. A hymn exalting their beauty. This one-of-a-kind book, offering numerous iconic images, also delicately narrates how perception of this femininity has evolved over the years. But above all else, this book tells the story of a man's love for women, who have always left him fascinated, amazed, overwhelmed and inspired. This work is a confession of love for what women represent to him, a testimonial to how they move the photographer, who has never ceased to admire them with passion.
