Berenice Abbott Yale University Press
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
The American photographer Berenice Abbott (1898-1991) is known best for her documentation of New York in the 1930s and for her efforts to gain recognition for the work of Eugene Atget in both Europe and the United States. This attractive book features 120 photographs and a series of rarely seen documents (including letters, book layouts, and periodicals), illuminating the three major periods of Abbott's career: her early work in the United States and Paris during the 1920s; her project Changing New York (1935-39), created for the Federal Art Project; and her scientific pictures made between 1939 and 1961. By detailing Abbott's influences and production both home and abroad, Berenice Abbott underscores the photographer's role as one of the 20th century's most remarkable artists. Abbott left the United States in 1921 to study sculpture in Paris, where she was hired by Man Ray in 1923 to be his assistant. She took to photography immediately and by 1926 had set up her own studio. She became famous for her photographs showing bohemian artistic and intellectual life in the city, but in 1929 she returned to the United States and set up a new studio.Her best-known and most influential work, "Changing New York", represented both a vast exercise in recording the architecture and urban life of New York and an intensely personal artistic project. Her straightforward method of photography led to her being employed full-time in the 1950s by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston to produce pictures illustrating the laws of physics.

Als junger Mann, der frisch vom Land in die Metropole Osaka gezogen war und begonnen hatte, in einem Unternehmen zu arbeiten, leistete sich Yoshihiro Suzuki eine Minolta-SRI-Spiegelreflexkamera. In seiner Freizeit streifte er durch die Stadt, wo er spontan und voller Neugier die urbane Landschaft fotografierte - Boulevards und Einkaufspassagen, das Geschäftsviertel und die traditionellen Seitenstraßen. Suzuki bezeichnet sich selbst als 'Amateurfotografen', seine Geschichte ist typisch für die starke Amateurfotografie-Bewegung im Nachkriegsjapan, die größtenteils unbemerkt von der Öffentlichkeit agierte, während professionelle Fotograf*innen weltweit ausgestellt wurden. Suzukis frühe Fotografien wurden zufällig entdeckt: Seine Schwiegertochter fand die Negative und ließ Kontaktbögen davon anfertigen. Mehr als 50 Jahre nachdem Suzuki die Fotos gemacht hat, erscheinen sie nun endlich in Form eines Fotobuches. Yoshihiro Suzuki, geboren 1941 in Ashiya (Japan), begann um 1964 zu fotografieren. Er lebt in Osaka. Yumi Son, geboren 1971 in Himeji (Japan), hat das Fotoarchiv ihres Schwiegervaters in Osaka entdeckt. Sie lebt in Berlin.--As a young man who had just moved from the countryside to the metropolis of Osaka, Suzuki Yoshihiro started a new life as a company worker by treating himself to a Minolta SRI single-lens reflex camera. In his free time, he wandered around the city, spontaneously and curiously photographing the urban landscape, in settings ranging from boulevards to shopping arcades and from the business district to traditional backstreets. Suzuki refers to himself as an "amateur photographer," and his story is representative of the strong amateur photography movement in post-war Japan, which is for the most part unknown to the public, unlike the work of professional photographers who have been exhibited worldwide. Suzuki's early photographs came to light by pure coincidence: his son's wife discovered the negatives and developed them as contact sheets. More than fifty years after Suzuki's photographs were taken, they are now finally being published as a photobook. Yoshihiro Suzuki, born 1941 in Ashiya (Japan), first took up photography around 1964. He lives in Osaka. Yumi Son, born 1971 in Himeji (Japan), discovered the photo archive at her father-in-law's house in Osaka. She lives in Berlin.

Antifragile Random House Publishing
Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna
In The Black Swan Taleb outlined a problem; in Antifragility he offers a definitive solution: how to gain from disorder and chaos while being protected from fragilities and adverse events. For what he calls the "antifragile" is one step beyond robust, as it benefits from adversity, uncertainty and stressors, just as human bones get stronger when subjected to stress and tension. Taleb stands uncertainty on its head, making it desirable, and proposing that things be built in an antifragile manner. Extremely ambitious and multidisciplinary, Antifragility provides a blueprint for how to behave--and thrive--in a world we don't understand and which is too uncertain for us to even try to understand. He who is not antifragile will perish. Why is the city state better than the nation state, why is debt bad for you, and why is almost everything modern bound to fail? The book covers innovation, health, biology, medicine, life decisions, politics, foreign policy, urban planning, war, personal finance, and economic systems. Throughout, the voice and recipes of the ancient wisdom from Phoenician, Roman, Greek, and Medieval sources are heard loud and clear.
