BOOK INFO Hardcover, 11 X 8.5 In. / 216 Pages / 120 Color ISBN 9780988983168 List Price: $49.95 Around a season of minor league baseball, Bull City Summer: A Season at the Ballpark brings together a team of artists and documentarians to find stories and images on the field and behind the scenes, presenting a microcosm of contemporary America engaged in a favorite pastime. The Durham Bulls are one of the most popular and successful minor league baseball teams in the country, with more players being sent to the Majors than any other minor league team. To diversify the documentation of the 2013 season, guest artists Alex Harris, Frank Hunter, Kate Joyce, Elizabeth Matheson, Leah Sobsey, Alec Soth, Hank Willis Thomas and Hiroshi Watanabe were invited to photograph the team in Durham. "The opportunity to photograph spring baseball in North Carolina was a no-brainer," Soth says. "The pacing of baseball arouses a kind of leisurely attentiveness that is analogous to photographic seeing. You look and look and then every once in a while, snap, you get a hit."

BOOK INFO Hardcover, 7.5 X 9 In. / 176 Pages / Illustrated throughout ISBN 9780989798181 List Price: $45.00 From Darkroom to Daylight explores how the dramatic change from film to digital has affected photographers and their work. Harvey Wang interviewed and photographed more than 40 important photographers and prominent figures in the field, including Jerome Liebling, George Tice, Elliott Erwitt, David Goldblatt, Sally Mann, Gregory Crewdson, Susan Meiselas and Eugene Richards, as well as innovators Steven Sasson (who built the first digital camera while at Kodak) and Thomas Knoll (who created Photoshop along with his brother). This collection of personal narratives and portraits is both a document of this critical moment and a unique history of photography. Much of Wang's work has been about disappearance—of trades, neighborhoods, and ways of life—and to live through this transition in his own craft has enabled him to illuminate the state of the art as both an insider and a documentary photographer.

BOOK INFOHardcover, 8.5 X 10.5 In. / 256 Pages / 70 B+W ISBN 9780988983151 List Price: $45.00 Through compelling photographs and interviews made over three years on road trips across the US, Vincent Cianni (born 1952) has created an important historical record of the struggles of gay and lesbian veterans and servicemembers in the US military. As the Human Rights Commission attests, the US military has a long history of civil rights abuses against homosexuals, with harassment and discrimination frequently resulting in lost careers. In many cases, these men and women—highly skilled, well-educated, patriotic, courageous, and productive—had attained high rank, received numerous medals, and held top-level jobs essential to the military. With essays by Alison Nordstrom, Don Bramer and Alan Steinman shedding light on the cultural, personal, and political consequences of the ban on homosexuality, this volume tells the stories of men and women who served in silence, and oftentimes were penalized and prohibited from receiving the benefits accorded them for serving in the military.
