Los ferrocarriles aparecieron apenas una década antes que la cámara fotográfica, por lo que casi toda su historia está documentada en imágenes. Este medio de transporte se inventó y desarrolló en el Reino Unido, y Getty Images, el mayor archivo fotografico del pais, posee una extraordinaria coleccion de fotografias de trenes, tanto britanicos como del resto del mundo. Beverley Cole se ha inspirado en ellas para ilustrar la historia del ferrocarril desde sus inicios victorianos, en la era de la via ancha y las chimeneas de locomotora a modo de chisteras, hasta la epoca de los trenes diesel y electricos de alta tecnologia, pasando por el apogeo del vapor a finales del siglo XIX, los retos y amenazas planteados por las dos guerras mundiales y la competencia del transporte por carretera. Este libro incluye espectaculares fotografias ferroviarias de potentes locomotoras atravesando algunos de los paisajes mas desolados e impresionantes del mundo, estaciones repletas de pasajeros, bulliciosas ciudades y fabricas de locomotoras, entre otras muchas.

Timothy PersonsFor years, contemporary photography and video art have played a substantial role in Spain's avant-garde culture. As curator Estelle af Malmborg writes in this volume, In just a few decades, a closed society, trapped in its past, has been transformed into a multifaceted country in which contemporary culture enjoys a strong position. Spanish photography does not shy away from the personal expression. We who lived in Spain in the 1980s experienced first-hand the major political, social and cultural changes. The sociocultural movement La Movida, with the film director Pedro Almodovar as its front figure, released a wave of suppressed creativity and tested the boundaries of freedom. The explosive Spanish culture of the 1980s expressed itself in many ways, but a common feature was an interest in capturing the intellectual currents of the rest of Europe, while, at the same time, relating to one's own cultural heritage." This volume collects works addressing issues of cultural identity, heritage and history by 31 contemporary artists--including Ignasi Aball', Sergio Belinchon, Carmen Calvo, Alicia Framis, Dionisio Gonzalez, Angel Marcos, Aitor Ortiz, Montserrat Soto and Valentin Vallhonrat."

Authors James and Karla Murray have been photographing the streets of New York for years, publishing two bestselling books on the graffiti scene, Broken Windows and Burning New York, in the process. With the publication of Storefront, the Murrays have turned their attention towards faithfully documenting the generations-old stores and shop windows of New Yorks neighborhoods. Within the pages of Storefront, the reader may explore entire blocks that have not changed much in the past century, engaging in a startling encounter with contemporary New York. Details of an architectural and cultural heritage that is fast disappearing such as signage, architectural adornment, and window displays are presented in context, as they exist on the street, all in amazing detail. Between the collected interviews with the shop-owners, and photos from every nook and cranny of New York, Storefront is sure to evoke feelings of nostalgia in hardboiled New Yorkers, visitors and expats alike.
