To Reach the Source: The Stepwells of India is a photography book about a unique and magnificent architectural form that remains unknown to most people outside (and even within) India. More than just a shaft dug into the earth to fetch water, these are entire buildings that descend several stories below ground; they are spaces to be entered and occupied, serving functional, social, and ritual purposes. Often, they are as monumental and ornate as a church, and this is intentional. They are a source of water, a gathering space, and a temple all at once, but instead of rising into the sky, they descend below the surface. They create a spatial experience unlike any other, in which one is below ground but remains connected to the sun and sky. Today they lie largely abandoned and overlooked, in various states of preservation or, more often, disrepair. The photographs seek to recreate the striking ambiance that they elicit. The brief text that follows the images (interspersed with a few architectural drawings) provides a necessary minimum of context, ultimately to reinforce the primarily visual nature of the reader's experience, one in which the photographs have priority. The photographs seek to give readers some sense of the meditative process of descending into these beautiful structures, of going away from the surface on which we live, but not being cut off from it, instead directed towards the very source of life.
This new study of nineteenth-century American photography presents a bottom-up history of the United States, featuring works by lesser-known practitioners that capture the changing scene across the country
In Abandoned Ireland 2, photographer Rebecca Brownlie travels further off the beaten path to explore and showcase Ireland's forgotten buildings before nature or the demolition man claims them forever. Through her evocative photography, we cross the threshold of deserted mansions, cottages, convents and hotels, mills and shopping centres, wandering through once-lively rooms that have now fallen silent, where only mementos of the past stand sentinel. Amid the decay, tables are elaborately set for tea, coats hang by the door and well-thumbed books lay poised and open, as if their owner will be back at any moment. From a castle where King James II stayed before the Battle of the Boyne to a manor house whose occupants mysteriously disappeared in the middle of the night, the arresting and poignant photography on every page is a love letter to Ireland's buildings abandoned to time.

In the late nineteenth and early twentieth century, ideals of technological progress and mass consumerism shaped the print cultures of countries across the globe. Magazines in Europe, the USA, Latin America, and Asia inflected a shared internationalism and technological optimism. But there were equally powerful countervailing influences, of patriotic or insurgent nationalism, and of traditionalism, that promoted cultural differentiation. In their editorials, images, and advertisements magazines embodied the tensions between these domestic imperatives and the forces of global modernity.Magazines and Modern Identities explores how these tensions played out in the magazine cultures of ten different countries, describing how publications drew on, resisted, and informed the ideals and visual forms of global modernism. Chapters take in the magazines of Australia, Europe and North America, as well as China, The Soviet Turkic states, and Mexico. With contributions from leading international scholars, the book considers the pioneering developments in European and North American periodicals in the modernist period, whilst expanding the field of enquiry to take in the vibrant magazine cultures of east Asia and Latin America. The construction of these magazines' modern ideals was a complex, dialectical process: in dialogue with international modernism, but equally responsive to their local cultures, and the beliefs and expectations of their readers. Magazines and Modern Identities captures the diversity of these ideals, in periodicals that both embraced and criticised the globalised culture of the technological era.
In Elsewhere, author and photographer Katherine Oktober Matthews examines her compulsion to travel-a fundamental need to be moving. She lays bare her existential journey as a mixed-format essay and journal written on the road, made even more personal through her contemplative photos, quietly coursing with an underlying conflict. Flitting between cities and blinking back and forth through time, Elsewhere pulsates with a nebulous sense of home and the deep wish to belong. In this innovative personal essay of words and photos, raw and insightful of a time and a generation, Matthews traces the widening recognition that the one thing a wanderer takes with her everywhere is herself.

Die Französin Marie-Claude Deffarge (1924-1984) und der Luxemburger Gordian Troeller (1917-2003) arbeiteten ab den 1950er-Jahren zusammen als freie Journalisten und berichteten zunächst vor allem aus Iran, Jemen und anderen Ländern der Region, später aus nahezu der ganzen Welt. In den 1960er-Jahren verantworteten sie wichtige Auslandsreportagen für das deutsche Nachrichtenmagazin Stern. Parallel dazu entstanden erste gemeinsame Filmreportagen, ab den 1970er-Jahren rückten Dokumentarfilmreihen ins Zentrum ihres Schaffens. Geschätzt wurden Deffarge & Troeller für ihre hervorragend recherchierten Beiträge. Selten berichteten sie wertfrei, liessen sich jedoch durch Kritik an ihren Analysen zu vorherrschenden Machtstrukturen nicht beirren. Im Fokus dieses ersten umfassenden Buches über Deffarge & Troeller stehen die für den Stern entstandenen Reportagen und das gemeinsame Filmschaffen, reichhaltig illustriert mit Fotos, kompletten Reportagen und Filmvorschauen, Buchmaquetten, Kontaktabzügen, Film-Stills und Skripten sowie weiteren Dokumenten. Die Texte ordnen die Arbeitsschwerpunkte, das Vorgehen und die Rezeption des Duos ein. Dabei ist die aktuelle Relevanz ihrer Berichterstattung frappierend. Ob politische Konflikte in Iran, Eritrea, Jemen oder Kapitalismuskritik und Feminismus: Der zweisprachig deutsch-englische Band spürt den Ursachen jener Krisen auf, die nach wie vor das Weltgeschehen beeinflussen.
