	The Great Wall of China. MICHAUD, ROLAND AND SABRINA MICHAUD. Stock ID: 99694 Beautiful colour photographic illustrations, many full or double page, 270pp, bibliography, index. "An engineering feat rarely matched in the history of the world, the 1500-mile-long Great Wall of China stretches from the shores of the Pacific to the Gobi Desert. It is such a prominent structure on earth that astronauts say they can see it with the naked eye from space. The 2000-year-old Great Wall was originally constructed to shield the ancient empire from invaders, but today it is regarded as a national symbol and attracts hordes of tourists from around the world. This text is a photographical survey of the wall as it snakes across the vastness of China's northern borders, along with paintings, sculptures, and scrolls depicting life along the wall through the centuries. Here also are evocative portraits of the nomads of the steppes who live near the wall, in much the same way as their ancestors. The text recounts the complete history of the wall, from the time it was begun during the Qin Dynasty 22 centuries ago to keep out strangers, to the era when it was used to expand the empire into Central Asia, to the period it was used as a trading route facilitating commerce along the Silk Road and later to allow for Buddhist expansion. Included in the text are excerpts from literature and poetry inspired by the wall that express the Chinese spirit throughout the ages." Publisher's description.

	Panoramas of the Far East. CONNER, LOIS. Stock ID: 56357 Black and white reproductions of the photographs of Lois Conner, 60pp, very good paperback copy, oblong quarto. "In their slim dimensions, pale layers of washy gray, and sense of perfect balance and repose, Lois Conner's photographs stand out from the efforts of her contemporaries. From her antique cameras to her technique of platinum plating-palladium printing, she is one of the most staunchly out-of-step artists at work today. Her panoramic landscapes have frequently been compared to Chinese scroll paintings; both view humankind with fragile tones, as a marked but ultimately minor presence." Publisher's description.

	Bombay Jadoo. KAREL, BETSY. Stock ID: 102414 Black and white photograhs, 54 plates, cloth-covered hardback. Inspired by contemporary Indian authors, Betsy Karel went to Bombay to find visual equivalents of the humanity, humor, mystery and psychological energy of these writers? stories.

Patiently waiting amidst the bustle of Bombay, home to more people than the entire continent of Australia, she captures a poignant lyricism in the familiar. As individuals transform public spaces into private places, forging islands of intimacy, she encounters the true ?jadoo? (Hindi for magic) of Bombay and its people. To accompany the photographs, the globally acclaimed author Suketu Mehta has written a companion piece about his boyhood in Bombay and there is a chapter excerpted from Ardashir Vakil's remarkable first novel, Beach Boy.

Exotic China has always attracted great photographers -and China's history has yielded unforgettble images. "Inside China" brings you historic photographs you haven't seen before: Photographic luminaries such as Henri Cartier-Bresson (who photographed Beijing and Shanghai in the 1940s) and Margaret Bourke-White (photographing Chiang Kai-Shek) portray the old China and the ascendancy of Chairman Mao; photographs by Chinese news photographer Li Zhensheng cover the Cultural Revolution to give startling new insights into this harsh mysterious era. Today's China, filled with excitement and fraught with challenge, is vividly shown by contemporary photographers such as Mark Leong, Paolo Pellegrin, and Mark Henley, who, with privileged access, present China's fashionable youth and glamour, the development of breathtaking mega-industry, and new materialism alongside traditional religion and rural life, revealing the rapidly changing scene in China in all its complexity. Inside China is organised thematically into five chapters: Geography - the introductory chapter presents a sweeping portrait of the vast country's diverse landscape and geography - a thrilling journey across time zones, climatic regions, mountains, deserts, and urban and rural vistas; History - the introduction to China's geography is followed by an intriguing glimpse into China's history, with archival photographs that recall pivotal moments in the country's fascinating and tumultuous past; Tradition - the next chapter looks at the traditional China, where traditional cultural habits and religions still endure in the face of jolting change; and Economic emergence - the theme of the next chapter is China's emergence as an economic superpower, with a look at the factories, industry, production and work ethic that have spawned huge mega-cities and industrial pollution. It also includes Modernization - the final chapter takes an up-close look at the country's modernization with all the exhilaration and upheaval it has generated, as seen in the clash between rural and urban, peasant and middle-class, young and old, rich and poor.

	Of Battle and Beauty. Felice Beato's Photographs of China. HARRIS, DAVID. Stock ID: 122330 Black and white full page photographic illustrations, one fold out, 185pp, bibliography, index, paperback. Accompanying the British Army during its decisive foray into China in 1860, Felice Beato (1820-1907) was the first photographer to document a military campaign in progress. He captured not only the immediacy of war, the aftermath of battle, and strategic military positions, but also the sumptuous new Summer Palace (seen by few Chinese and even fewer foreigners) before its destruction by the British. His photographic record of the Second Opium War consisted of approximately one hundred images, including a number of panoramic views, which survive in the form of private albums originally compiled by British officers as a record of their victorious campaign. One such album, now in the collection of Jane and Michael Wilson, is presented here. In addition to providing a strikingly beautiful glimpse of nineteenth-century China, these images also reveal how photography functioned as an integral component of British imperialism by shaping perceptions about a distant country and its culture. Essayist David Harris provides an overview of Beato's work in China, and his extensive catalog notes describe and contextualize each of the photographs.

Stock ID: 94487 Colour and black and white photographic illustrations, 240pp, glossary, bibliography, index, good paperback copy. "Camera Indica is an exploration of the changing role of photographic portraiture in India over the last 150 years. It is the first anthropological study of photographic practice in the everyday lived reality of Indian society and combines historical and ethnographic perspectives. Christopher Pinney looks at key 'moments' in Indian photography and considers the ways in which photographic portraiture reflects changing political interests, a decreasing desire to fix identity, and a broader popular visual culture. A distinctive post-colonial Indian photographic practice emerges, characterized by a sophisticated inventiveness using techniques such as over-painting, collage, composite printing and doubling. A substantial part of the book is concerned with the production of such images by studios in a small central Indian town, and the reader is given a vivid sense of their use and significance."
