This set consists of a book and a CD. For three years, photographer, Christine Hauber travelled throughout the US to explore work life at the turn of the 21st Century. The hundreds of images that resulted, as well as the subjects' own words, reveal a surprising amount of worker pride, optimism and satisfaction. Recorded here are the faces and words of ordinary people, who in their diversity and uniqueness offer a cross-section of the richness of American life. "Working in the USA", gives readers a glimpse of who and what Hauber discovered during her documentary labour of love. "Working in the USA" unveils a fraction of the people and places that Hauber recorded, and yet, the variety here takes the reader on a fulfilling journey through America's nearly limitless employment landscape.

The story of Homai Vyarawalla's life and her work spans an entire century of Indian history. India's first woman photojournalist, Homai photographed the last days of the British Empire and her work traces the birth and growth of a new nation. She was the only professional woman photojournalist in India during her time. Her survival in a male dominated field is all the more significant because the profession continues to exclude most women even today. This book acknowledges her role as a pioneer among women and her contribution to early photojournalism in India. She was recently honoured with the first National Photo Award for Lifetime Achievement by the Government of India. 231pp.

In 1989 photographer Debra Bloomfield got into her car and headed east from California. Near Oak Creek Canyon in Arizona she began photographing, feeling somehow a part of the landscape through which she travelled. For the next ten years, she would sojourn in the desert and mountain regions of the Southwest three or four times a year, expanding her horizons topographically and spiritually, capturing with her camera a juxtaposition of vast spaces and lonely intimacy inherent in the terrain that surrounded her. In 1997 she found herself in Las Trampas, New Mexico, and discovered through its church and others like it in the northern areas of the state that interior spaces can evoke the same kinds of meanings for her as landscapes do. In both, she felt a sense of place and history, of hope and transformation. At once ethereal and haunting, her images are also transcendent, suggesting a balance between spiritual and secular. 159pp. N.B. Closed tear to top edge of front D/J.

Providing a unique glimpse into the lens of a World War II merchant mariner, this collection chronicles personal, life-defining experiences beginning and ending on America's east coast and circumnavigating the globe in between. This photographic essay is the crowning work of a humble man who embraced art to capture history and celebrate the American experience. His voyage leads to the sandy shores of Normandy, the horror of Hiroshima, and on to a triumphant return to the port of Los Angeles. These destinations and Niewenhous' post-war travels - to the Caribbean, South America, the Philippines, and ultimately back home to the back roads of his native America - form the fabric of a vibrant 60-year journey. Memorialised in this rare photographic collection, these images capture the human condition, risky circumstances, forbidden passages, and stunning natural vistas. Slight creasing to front paste down.
