The first comprehensive book in more than a century dedicated entirely to Yosemite’s remarkable wild animal world. Countless books have been written about Yosemite National Park’s renowned scenery, yet as incredible as it is to us, Half Dome is also someone’s home. Social media is flooded with people all over the world sharing their excitement about the antics of the park’s distinctive residents: black bears causing traffic in “bear jams,” mule deer grazing in Ahwahnee Meadow, and coyotes sauntering in the shadow of El Capitan. Yosemite Wildlife goes beyond the field guides and offers extensive portraits of the park’s creatures—a remarkable new publication sure to be welcomed by the more than 4 million annual park visitors and anyone interested in the Sierra Nevada. Readers will discover:150+ species, including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, and insects300+ photographs and archival imagesCommonly and rarely seen animalsRewilding success storiesProfiles of the park biologists and others who protect wildlife This lively and accessible blend of storytelling, the latest research, natural history, and compelling wildlife photographs fills a 100-year gap in publishing that will deeply connect people to this incredible national park in California. Envisioned and written by conservation leader Beth Pratt and featuring photography by naturalist and photographer Robb Hirsch, Yosemite Wildlife shines a spotlight on species that not only make their homes in the park, but also come with only-in-Yosemite stories such as those charismatic bears, the peregrine falcons brought back from the brink of extinction in part by big-wall rock climbers, and the tiny amphibians that persist on the tallest peaks. The book celebrates decades of conservation and observation, by visitors and professionals, through highlighting charming and nostalgic pieces from the park’s Archive, such as reproductions of handwritten wildlife observation cards and articles excerpted from the beloved Yosemite Nature Notes magazine. Some of this archival material has never been published! This image-rich, engagingly readable volume is a feast for the eyes and has been crafted to appeal to anyone eager to dip in and find out more about Yosemite’s enchanting wildlife. Yet the breadth and depth of information will also serve as an excellent reference for educators and scientists. Yosemite has been called the “jewel of the national park system.” Yosemite Wildlife does this distinction proud, showcasing the creatures of the park that are as captivating as the spray of Yosemite Falls, the dizzying heights of Glacier Point, or the iconic Half Dome.

This book explores the visual representation of masculinity in the work of Larry Clark, using this toprompt a wider conversation about the male body in visual culture and art.Infamous for his often deeply personal depictions of teenage sexuality, subcultures and drug use, filmmaker and photographer Larry Clark also paid close attention to male identity, as revealed for the first time in this book. It explores the visual representation of masculinity in Clark's work, revealing how his images of the male body differ from traditional depictions and function not only as objects of spectacle, but as spectacular objects in themselves.Despite being hugely influential, there has been a lack of critical attention paid to Clark's work following his celebrated photobook Tulsa (1971). Masculinity and Visual Culture is a vital contribution to research on Clark, and visual and photography studies more broadly, where it explores the photographer's depiction of the male subject as an object of desire. It also expands research in gender and queer studies by examining masculinity as a relational, social and intercultural construct in media and society, enhancing our understanding of Clark's narrative and iconographic practice, while simultaneously positioning his work at the centre of the cultural discourse around male subjectivity.Drawing on an array of Clark's work, including his films 'Kids' and 'Ken Park', as well as his photographs, Masculinity and Visual Culture brings it into conversation with the work of a wide range of other photographers including David Armstrong, Steven Klein and Nan Goldin. In doing so, the book provides an important re-examination of Clark's key influences and legacy.

A vivid, imaginative response to the sensual and erotic in postwar American photography, with attention to the beauty of the nude, both male and femaleWhen photographer Coda Gray befriends a family with a special interest in a young boy, the motivation behind his special attention is difficult to grasp, "e;like water slipping through our fingers."e; Can a man innocently love a boy who is not his own?Using fiction to reveal the truths about families, communities, art objects, love, and mourning, Like a Lake tells the story of ten-year-old Nico, who lives with his father (an Italian- American architect) and his mother (a Japanese-American sculptor who learned how to draw while interned during World War II). Set in the 1960s, this is a story of aesthetic perfection waiting to be broken. Nico's midcentury modern house, with its Italian pottery jars along the outside and its interior lit by Japanese lanterns. The elephant-hide gray, fiberglass reinforced plastic 1951 Eames rocking chair, with metal legs and birch runners. Clam consomm with kombu, giant kelp, yuzu rind, and a little fennel-in each bowl, two clams opened like a pair of butterflies, symbols of the happy couple. Nico's boyish delight in developing photographs under the red safety light of Coda's "e;Floating Zendo"e;- the darkroom boat that he keeps on Lake Tahoe.The lives of Nico, his parents, and Coda embody northern California's postwar landscape, giving way to fissures of alternative lifestyles and poetic visions. Author Carol Mavor addresses the sensuality and complexity of a son's love for his mother and that mother's own erotic response to it. The relationship between the mother and son is paralleled by what it means for a boy to be a model for a male photographer and to be his muse. Just as water can freeze into snow and ice, melt back into water, and steam, love takes on new forms with shifts of atmosphere. Like a Lake's haunting images and sensations stay with the reader.
