Review Tendencies of Gothic in Florence: Don Silvestro Dei Gherarducci (A corpus of Florentine painting) / Giunti Gruppo Editoriale:A companion volume to "Andrea Bonaiuti", this text offers detailed information on the work of Don Silvestro dei Gherarducci, a celebrated Italian book illustrator of the late-14th century, and the impact of his gothicizing tendencies on the Giottesque tradition. The author argues that, along with Andrea Bonaiuti, Don Silvestro dei Gherarducci contributed greatly to the renewal of the predominantly Giottesque trend of Andrea Orcagna and his brothers, and to the creation of a foundation for the international Gothic in Florence, for the art of Agnolo Gaddi, Lorenzo Monaco, and others. The text contains an introductory study, a catalogue and a series of black and white illustrations.

Review Naomi Harris: America Swings (Art Edition - Barbecue) / Taschen:This book deals with the swinging sex lives of everyday Americans. Naomi Harris' subjects are not the usual perfected androids who populate contemporary erotica, but ordinary people with extraordinary sex lives; this book explores a rarely-seen side of sex in America. The Art Edition is limited to 100 numbered copies, signed by both Naomi Harris and Richard Prince. The books No. 51-100 will be accompanied by the chromogenic print "Broken Leg and Barbecue" (Swingstock 2004, Duxbury, MN). Richard Prince discovered Naomi Harris in TASCHEN's The New Erotic Photography and was so intrigued by her photos of American swingers that he tracked down the 34-year-old New Yorker, determined to make her his protege. When he discovered TASCHEN had signed her to do "America Swings", he asked to write the introduction, in which he reveals part of what makes her work so unique: "When I look at one of your swinger photos what I'm looking at is mostly you 'outside' the picture looking at what you're photographing. half-naked, all naked, taking these photos of next-door neighbors having sex. [+]" He refers to Harris' secret for winning the confidence of her subjects: to penetrate the world of middle class mate-swapping, Harris had to join them, often working in just shoes and a tool belt to hold her camera gear. Her extreme technique worked so well that in 48 months she was able to photograph 38 parties, crisscrossing the country from Mahwah, New Jersey, to Pleasanton, California; from Big Lake, Minnesota, to Washington, Texas. Her subjects including multi-orgasmic schoolteachers, polyamorous nurses, bisexual senior citizens and the Mandingos, and a group of African-American men who service white wives. Stunningly photographed and surprisingly sexy, Harris' "America Swings" is, as Richard Prince describes, "something that's gloriously alternative, that isn't rentable, that can't be downloaded, that's uninhibited and filled with a sense of strange joy. Almost like a J. G. Ballard theme park for sex. ".

Review The Allegro Qumran Collection on Microfiche / Brill Academic Publishers:This microfiche edition of photographs contains prints of all the black-and-white negatives in the Allegro Qumran Photograph Archive in the Manchester Museum. The originals were taken by John M. Allegro between 1955 and 1962. Several colour photographs are also represented in black and white. The several hundred photographs are arranged in four categories: archaeology, biographical pictures (of those involved in the Qumran excavations and the decipherment of the scrolls), the Copper Scroll, and other photographs of documents from Qumran and elsewhere. The importance of the collection is self-evident for Qumran specialists, filling out our knowledge of the Qumran remains, but especially giving further information on the Copper Scroll and other texts, notably from Cave 4.

Review Julian Germain: For Every Minute You Are Angry You Lose Sixty Seconds Of Happiness / SteidlMack:Description: "I met Charles Albert Lucien Snelling on a Saturday in April, 1992. He lived in a typical two up two down terraced house amongst many other two up two down terraced houses. it was yellow and orange. In that respect it was totally different from every other house on the street. Charlie was a simple, gentle, man. He loved flowers and the names of flowers. He loved color and surrounded himself with color. He loved his wife. [+]Without ever trying or intending to, he showed me that the most important things in life cost nothing at all. He was my antidote to modern living. " Over eight years photographer Julian Germain documented Charlie, an elderly man living alone on England's Southern Coast-unfettered by the misplaced aspirations of the modern world; instead he spent the last years of his life absorbed in memories of his family, his love for flowers, music, and the quotidian pleasures of the crossword. Germain's charming photographs are a beautiful, gentle portrait of a gentleman in his twilight years.
