The New Photography
In this handsome book, leading photography curator Athol McCredie tells the story of the beginnings of contemporary photography also known as art photography in New Zealand. Through interviews with the photographers Gary Baigent, Richard Collins, John Daley, John Fields, Max Oettli, John B Turner, Len Wesney and Ans Westra, and accompanied by an outstanding introductory essay, McCredie shows how the break-through approach of personal documentary photography created a new field of photography in New Zealand that was not simply illustrative but rather spoke for itself and with its own language.

Representing poets from multiple generations, this collection offers a distinctive snap shot in time of rich diversity in poetic expression.

Trajectories in the Development of Modern School Systems
As contemporary education becomes increasingly tied to global economic power, national school systems attempting to influence one another inevitably confront significant tensions caused by differences in heritage, politics, and formal structures. Trajectories in the Development of Modern School Systems provides a comprehensive theoretical and empirical critique of the reform movements that seek to homogenize schooling around the world. Informed by historical and sociological insight into a variety of nations and eras, these in-depth case studies reveal how and why sweeping, convergent reform agendas clash with specific institutional policies, practices, and curricula. Countering current theoretical models which fail to address the potential pressures born from these challenging isomorphic developments, this book illuminates the cultural idiosyncrasies that both produce and problematize global reform efforts and offers a new way of understanding curriculum as a manifestation of national identity.
Ans Westra
In a career that spanned six decades, the Dutch-Kiwi photographer Ans Westra (1936&– 2023) made it her life' s work to capture the growth of a nation through hundreds of thousands of images. Her photographic catalogue is now widely thought of as a photo album of Aotearoa New Zealand.This richly illustrated biography interrogates her remarkable — and at times controversial — practice, and a life that always put photography first.
Photographie et architecture moderne
Architecte et propagandiste du Mouvement moderne, Alberto Sartoris (1901-1998) a réuni une collection exceptionnelle de photographies d'architecture, en partie publiées de 1932 à 1957 dans des anthologies devenues mythiques, Gli Elementi dell'architettura funzionale et l'Encyclopédie de l'architecture nouvelle. Ces 8000 tirages originaux documentent des travaux d'architectes du monde entier, de Le Corbusier et Walter Gropius à Oscar Niemeyer et Luis Barragan, photographiés par les meilleurs spécialistes de leur temps, comme Arthur Köster, Julius Shulman ou Armando Salas Portugal. Cet ouvrage présente et analyse cette collection, l'un des secteurs-clés des archives données par Alberto Sartoris à la Confédération. Il illustre son activité de collecte et de publication et permet d'éclairer un aspect méconnu de l'histoire de l'architecture au XXe siècle : les mécanismes de fabrication et de diffusion de l'" image de l'architecture moderne ", ainsi que le rôle déterminant dévolu à la photographie dans ce processus.
