"Les proverbes sont une forme de pensée, et leur maîtrise traduit également celle de l'art de la communication et du dialogue. Ce livre, entièrement rédigé en 6àsàa, suivant l'alphabet général des langues camerounaises, présente 2500 proverbes et expressions avec leur explication et le contexte de leur utilisation. Leur introduction et leur utilisation dans les discours oraux, et surtout l'assimilation des leçons positives qu'ils cachent, constituent une école de vie pour les jeunes générations en perte de repères."--P.

Ken Miller
"The photographers in SHOOT embrace the mundane image, imbuing it with an emotional impact that leaves a lasting impression." "SHOOT follows this photographic movement from its origins 25 years ago to its explosion in popularity today, beginning with the groundbreaking personal documentary work of Stephen Shore and Nan Goldin, through the incorporation of snapshot photography into fine art and fashion, to the current generation, from whom personal documentation is away of life. The photographers in SHOOT rely on their instincts, their engagement, and their "eye" to transform fleeting moments into powerful, dynamic images." "SHOOT includes a foreword by legendary photographer Stephen Shore, in addition to critical essays by professor Penny Martin, with a historical overview of the genre and aesthetic by Ken Miller. These essays link the work of influential photographers such as Nan Goldin, Wolfgang Tillmans, Juergen Teller, and Hiromix to a current generation of image-makers, including JH Engstrom, Tim Barber, Linus Bill, Jaimie Warren, and Dash Snow."--Jacket.
Jill Oakes and Rick Riewe
"In this richly illustrated volume, Jill Oakes and Rick Riewe detail how indigenous peoples of Siberia make, wear, and interpret the meaning of their traditional clothing. Drawing on extensive research and their travels across northern Asia, the authors document the intricate designs executed in fur, embroidery, beads, paint, and dye that adorn indigenous apparel, from everyday parkas and boots to shaman's robes. They also record the complex belief systems that inform nearly every aspect of a garment's construction and decoration. Among the Even of Central Siberia, a healing shaman wears human-shaped pendants made of red-dyed seal fur to help cure a sick person. Among the Koryak of the Far East, burial clothing made from white-haired reindeer skin can't be seen or finished until someone actually dies. The Nenets of western Siberia sew bells on their children's sleeves both to keep them from getting lost and to ward off evil spirits. Oakes and Riewe also draw parallels between the practices of Siberian peoples and those of northern Canada and Alaska."--BOOK JACKET.
