Get the Picture
How do photojournalists get the pictures that bring us the action from the world's most dangerous places? How do picture editors decide which photos to scrap and which to feature on the front page? Find out in Get the Picture, a personal history of fifty years of photojournalism by one of the top journalists of the twentieth century. John G. Morris brought us many of the images that defined our era, from photos of the London air raids and the D-Day landing during World War II to the assassination of Robert Kennedy. He tells us the inside stories behind dozens of famous pictures like these, which are reproduced in this book, and provides intimate and revealing portraits of the men and women who shot them, including Robert Capa, Henri Cartier-Bresson, and W. Eugene Smith. A firm believer in the power of images to educate and persuade, Morris nevertheless warns of the tremendous threats posed to photojournalists today by increasingly chaotic wars and the growing commercialism in publishing, the siren song of money that leads editors to seek pictures that sell copies rather than those that can change the way we see the world.

La Famille Deriaz
"In this book the history of photography can be seen in its entirety, from its invention up to the present, through the work of one single family which has lived from and for photography for a century and a half. Even though the photographers of the Deriaz family have always lived in the French part of Switzerland, photography has often pulled them far from their home. The Deriaz's worked at every kind of photography, from the panorama to the portrait, from the photography of folk festivals to the experimental. One could say, these are the fathers and sons of photography: Alphonse (I) 1827-1889, Armand (I) 1873-1932, Alphonse (II), born 1915, Armand (II), born 1942, and Lionel, born 1969."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.

The Decisive Network
"Since its founding in 1947, the legendary Magnum Photos agency has been telling its own story: Its photographers were concerned witnesses to history and artists on the hunt for decisive moments; their pictures were humanist documents of the postwar world. Based in unprecedented archival research, The Decisive Network peels back layers of the Magnum mythology to offer a new history of what it meant to shoot, edit, and sell news images after World War II. Between the 1940s and 1960s, Magnum expanded the human-interest story - about the everyday life of ordinary people - to global dimensions while bringing the aesthetic of news pictures into new markets. Its best-known work started as humanita...
