by John Sexton (1994)
It is rare that the soul and presentation of a book truly mirror and celebrate its subject matter. Listen to the Trees, John Sexton's homage to these stately and eloquent voices of nature, accomplishes this mission. Photographs of trees are the heart of Sexton's work, and the luminous images in this collection embody the distinctive vision he has developed by listening closely to the natural world. From the quiet dignity of eucalyptus bark enfolding in its cycle of renewal to the sweeping grace of a mature aspen forest, these photographs brilliantly evoke the essence of trees - their primeval strength, their beauty, and their serenity. Stewart L. Udall's introduction and James Baker's essay provide intriguing insights into our contemporary, historical, and mythological relationship with trees. The portfolio of images is coupled with inspiring excerpts from prose and poetry by an eclectic group of writers, among them Father Thomas Berry, Black Elk, Robinson Jeffers, Starhawk, and Minor White.

The inhabitants of Cocle province on the southern coast of Panama created imaginatively decorative ceremonial bowls, adorned with countless powerful and sophisticated versions of motifs popular among native civilizations. This collection includes 591 of these beautifully stylized images, including gods, men, birds, fish, monkeys, florals, abstracts all in the beautiful Cocle style.

Documented over a ten-year period, the author's photographs illustrate the beauty of this country and the extent to which it has been torn apart by political conflict. Oral histories from interviews with Tibetans cover issues such as rights abuse, political demonstration and religious persecution.

Publication with reproductions of 69 Polaroids by Dutch cinematographer Robby Müller (1940-2018). Since the mid-seventies, Müller made about 2000 Polaroid images, which show his sensitivity to light. Next to his widely known pictures of hotel rooms and street scenes, nature motifs caught his eye more than any other subject. Müller liked to photograph trees in all seasons: vibrant in spring, colored in autumn or surrounded by winter fog. The specific color quality of the Polaroids is exemplary in the images of the flowers. Selected, edited and introduced by Andrea Müller-Schirmer, designed by Linda van Deursen, with a contribution by French cinematographer Agnès Godard.
