Magnum Ireland
Available for the first time in an updated, compact paperback format, this book offers a stunning photographic survey of Ireland over the last seven decades, from the 1950s to the present day. Organized decade by decade, the images show the lingering influence of rural life in the 1950s; the hidden story of ordinary Irish men and women, living in a divided society during the troubled years of the sectarian conflict; the South's huge economic growth at the end of 1990s, baptised the 'Celtic Tiger', and Ireland's perpetual quest for identity, from the 1950s to the present day. Each decade is commented on by a notable contemporary Irish literary figure: Anthony Cronin, Nuala O'Faolain, Eamonn McCann, Fintan O'Toole, Colm Tóibín and Anne Enright invite the reader to dive into the social and political context of each period, providing a textual backdrop to the photographers' work.
Seaside Photographed
How has the seaside been photographed? From the roaring waves of the nineteenth century through the reportage of the 1960s and the critical documentary of the 80s and 90s, to what is perhaps the more intimate work of the last ten years. No-one can tell it exactly the way it is. We all have a vision of the seaside which is uniquely our own. Memories, false and real, are aided and abetted by photography, a unique, fascinating, but in the end unreliable source of evidence. And time changes everything. What remains are a set of substantial fragments, thoughts along the way, obsessions, records, constructions, journeys. Ours for the taking
Warworks
Explores the ways in which women photographers have used war to express major issues in contemporary art and society. The author removes war photography from its niche as reportage and places it as a central channel for contemporary imagination.
Illuminations
This selection of women's writings on photography proposes a new and different history, demonstrating the ways in which women's perspectives have advanced photographic criticism over 150 years, focusing it more deeply and, with the advent of feminist approaches, increasingly challenging its orthodoxies. Included in the book are Rosalind Krauss, Ingrid Sischy, Vicki Goldberg and Carol Squiers.
When Photography Really Works
Humanity has always used symbols - material objects used to denote difficult, abstract concepts - to describe thoughts and feelings, or to protect secret truths from common knowledge. This concise A-Z guide is a fascinating work of reference that brings to light all the symbols and symbolisms of the world, many aspects of which have been lost to time, including Freemasonry, the Kabbalah, the tarot, astrology, alchemy, Zoroastrianism, and ancient cultures from Egypt to Japan.
Anna Fox
This retrospective features selections from all of Fox?s major projects. Beginning with her earliest projects, Basingstoke, Work Stations and Friendly Fire? each a critical exploration of the social make up and behaviour of Thatcher?s Britain in the 1980s? the book charts her progress through more personal, diaristic bodies of work including Hewitt Road, Coackroach Diary and My Mother?s Cupboards and My Father?s Words. More recent projects, Country Girls and Pictures of Linda chronicle Fox?s relationship with the musicians Alison Goldfrapp and Linda Lunus through a series of intimate, playful and performative portraits.

The Influence Puzzle
The Influence Puzzle presents the underlying principles of influence: how influence works and how to cultivate the executive presence that a senior executive must have to create impact at "the top of the house." Through understanding and applying the six pieces of the puzzle in this book, leaders can have greater impact on people and circumstances more quickly and with less effort.
