Out of the Corner of My Eye (De Reojo) 
by Sylvia Plachy
$40.00 ISBN: 978-1-884167-92-8 

"She makes me laugh and she breaks my heart. She is moral. She is everything a photographer should be." ---Richard Avedon on Sylvia Plachy

An enthralling, eerily beautiful retrospective of a contemporary master, with Images fond, witty, searching, and sad. A lyrical photographer, whose gently subversive view of existence reveals via clues, fragments of words, and layers of perception, the essential, with emotional intelligence that is unsurpassed.   In her words: "It is not so much what you say or what you know, it's recognizing what you know. That's what life and photography is about. It's falling in love with truth.”


Tribal Alphabet Illustrations
by Claudia Person
Text by Nan Richardson                        
 $40.00 ISBN: 978-1-884167-71-3

In bold and vibrant colors—hot reds and oranges of sun and heat, the cooler hues of wind and ice—artist Claudia Pearson has created a dazzling group portrait of the world of indigenous peoples with charming illustrations of faces, foods, artifacts, costume and many other distinguishing cultural characteristics.  Aimed at a young reader audience (3-8), a brightly colored map of the world and glossary at back add information for older readers. In the ever-shrinking global community, the fate of the world’s tribal peoples is linked inextricably with ours and this book celebrates in all their diversity the enrichment they represent.

A royalty is donated to not-for-profit foundation Cultural Survival, to aid in its efforts to defend the rights of indigenous peoples around the world.
