Per The Getty Museum Website, Adam Clark "A. C." Vroman (1856-1916), Vroman Worked For The Chicago, Burlington And Quincy Railroad Company For Sixteen Years Before Moving To California In 1893. Upon Opening A Store That Sold Books, Stationery, And Photographic Supplies In Pasadena--Which He Gifted To His Employees And Which Remains In Operation As "Vroman's Bookstore" Today--He Began To Pursue His Interest In Photography. From 1895-1905, Vroman Travelled Throughout Southern California And Made Eight Trips To Arizona, Colorado, New Mexico, And Utah, Where He Photographed Local Indian Communities. His Extensive Travels And Repeated Collaborations With The Bureau Of American Ethnology, A Research Unit Of The Smithsonian Institution. In His Photographic Work, Vroman Concentrated On The Daily Lives, Customs, And Ceremonial Activities Of The Hopi, Zuni, And Navajo Peoples. A Member Of The Pasadena Camera Club, He Often Travelled With Other Photographers Involved In Its Activities, Such As His Friend, Los Angeles Times Editor Charles Fletcher Lummis. In 1897, Vroman Was Employed By The Bureau Of American Ethnology To Photograph Katzimo ("Enchanted Mesa") In Central New Mexico. His Sweeping Views From Its Summit Were Used As Evidence Of The Prior Native American Habitation Of The Area And Were Later Published In Benjamin Brooks's Book The Enchanted Mesa (New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1904). In 1899, Vroman Again Accompanied The Bureau Of American Ethnology To The Southwest, This Time On A Survey To Document The Pueblos And Cliff Dwellings Of New Mexico. Several Of The Photographs He Made Were Included In The Smithsonian's Multivolume Handbook Of American Indians North Of Mexico (Washington: Government Printing Office, 1907), An Encyclopaedic Classification Of Over 2,500 Cultural And Linguistic Groups. In 1901, Vroman Served As The Official Photographer On The Museum-Gates Expedition, An Archaeological Survey Of The Southwest Led By Ethnologist Walter Hough. Alongside His Work On Native American Communities, Vroman Documented Spanish Missions In California Over A Ten-Year Period (1895-1905), Often With Friends And Photo Enthusiasts Who Constituted The "Club Of Four," A Group He Founded. In Addition To Vroman, The Group Comprised Homer Eachus Hoopes, H.C. Chatfield, And G.J. Kuhrts. A Collector Of Netsuke (Miniature Japanese Carved Objects), Vroman Toured And Photographed In Japan In 1903 And 1909. He Also Made Photographs In France And Germany (1912), Canada (1914), And On The East Coast Of The United States (1914). Vroman's Images Of Native American Peoples Have Long Been Regarded As Respectful Portrayals, In Part Because He Purportedly Gifted Prints To Numerous People He Depicted. More Recently, However, Re-Evaluation Of His Work Has Revealed A More Complicated History, Situating His Aesthetic Choices Within The Scientific Aspirations Of The Bureau Of American Ethnology, A Prominent Institutional Exponent Of Social Evolutionary Theory.

In this special issue of aperture, Edward Weston speaks for himself, in his own words and photographs, of his long search "to present clearly my feeling for life with photographic beauty. without subterfuge or evasion in spirit or technique." California photographer Edward Henry Weston (1886-1958) was one of the most prominent American photographers of the 20th century and a major contributor in the shaping of the history of the medium. Throughout his 40-year career, Weston photographed a wide range of subjects including landscapes, still lifes, nudes, portraits, and depictions of everyday life. He was the first photographer to receive a Guggenheim Fellowship (1937).

Zustand: Very good. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 11 inches by 2.75 inches thick. xviii, 1126 pages. Illustrated dust jacket (with minor wear). Illustrations (some in color). Disc in rear pocket. This is a large, heavy book that, if shipped outside of the United States, will require additional shipping charges. Christopher G. Newhall is a volcanologist, formerly with the U.S. Geological Survey and the Earth Observatory of Singapore. He is the co-creator of the Volcanic explosivity index and specializes in volcanic prediction. Newhall went to the Philippines in 1970 under the United States Peace Corps program. For his academic training, Newhall attended Dartmouth College, Hanover (Ph.D. 1980). He retired from the USGS Volcano Hazards Program after nearly three decades in 2005. In 2008 he moved to Nanyang Technological University in Singapore to take on the position of volcanology group leader at the Earth Observatory of Singapore. Dr. Raymundo Santiago Punongbayan (13 June 1937 28 April 2005) was the director of the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (PHIVOLCS) from 1983 to 2002. Punongbayan became popular after handling two well-known calamities, the 1990 Luzon earthquake and the 1991 Pinatubo eruption. PHIVOLCS is the government agency in charge of conducting volcanic and earthquake monitoring in order to generate data to be used to predict volcanic eruptions and earthquake occurrences. Punongbayan's effort to monitor Mount Pinatubo and his information campaign to apprise nearby communities of the volcano's impending eruption saved thousands of lives in 1991. An impressive collection of 62 technical papers recounting the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 and its aftermath. The contributors reflect the international cooperation exhibited during the eruption (ten times larger than Mount St. Helens) and explore the precursors, processes, and products of the eruption, as well as record setting erosion and lahars (volcanic mudflows), evacuation efforts, global climate effects, and the socioeconomic impact of the eruption on the surrounding community. Includes color photographs (before and after views) and illustrations. The accompanying disk contains two programs, PINAPLOT (for DOS) and VOLQUAKE (for Windows), both showing the evolving seismicity before and after the 1991 eruptions. From the Foreword by President of the Philippines Fidel V. Ramos "This monograph is a story of our tension, grief, insight, and relief. It also points to knowledge gaps that we must still bridge. It serves as a monument to scientific internationalism that has proven its worth. And through this monograph, we invite every reader to relive our experience at Pinatubo and to join us in taking up the new challenges ahead. Fire and Mud is a comprehensive document of the awakening of a volcano after a 500-year sleep. Its 62 technical papers tell the scientific and human story of the 1991 eruption of Mount Pinatubo and the events surrounding it. Second in size this century only to an eruption in Katmai, Alaska, in 1912, and ten times larger than the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980, Pinatubo's eruption threatened the lives of a million people. A giant ash cloud rose 35 kilometers into the sky and hot blasts seared the countryside, a more serious disaster was averted by timely, accurate warnings. Philippine authorities were able to evacuate 60,000 people from the slopes and valleys, and the American military evacuated 18,000 personnel and their dependents from Clark Air Base below the mountain -- thus saving many thousands of lives and an estimated billion dollars in property and making this the most successful case of volcanic hazards mitigation in history. In this impressive volume, volcanologists and other experts from 10 countries explore the precursors, processes, and products of the eruption, as well as record-setting erosion and lahars (volcanic mudflows) that followed. Nearly half of what the eruption deposited on Pinatubo's slopes has now been eroded and dumped, in repeated rounds of terror, on villages at the foot or the volcano. The eruption also injected so much sulfur dioxide into the stratosphere that the global climate was cooled for about two years. Volcanologists and civil defense officials will consult this book for years to come as they seek to understand large eruptions and to protect communities at risk from long-dormant volcanoes. Scholars and students will find here aninterdisciplinary view of a fascinating, incredibly dynamic geologic system. Others with a modest technical background and interest in volcanoes will find many individual essays of interest. Hardcover with disc in envelop inside back cover.
