Tina Modotti & Edward Weston

Dody W. Thompson

This photograph survey of the great American artist contains photographs from all phases of Weston's long and varied career, from his first nude in 1909 to his final landscape at Point Lobos, California, in 1948. Previously unpublished masterpieces are interspersed with his well-known signature images. Edward Weston: Life Work encompasses the full historical range of his imagery: his Mexican work, shell and vegetable still lifes, sculptural nudes, sand-dune abstractions, and more.

An Intimate Self-portrait

The Diary of Frida Kahlo

Barbara Head Millstein

When those meant to uphold the law become a law unto themselves, where are we to turn? Are the gung-ho guys in uniform bending the rules to lock up those who pose a genuine risk, or are they bent on sadiwm, like the notorious Volpe and Schwartz? Jack Sargeant looks at notorious cases of good cops gone bad - and those who started out that way. Read about lone cops who couldn't take the pressure anymore and went on killing sprees, through to the corruption that spread through the Met in the 1970s. Bad Cop, Bad Cop also digs out the truth from the controversy surrounding the beating of Rodney King and looks at the current state of play in the LAPD. Ultimately, the book poses the question: would you be any better when faced with a job dealing with an increasingly lawless society.
