Made in the UK: The Music of Attitude, 1977-1983 documents a time when British music pushed every boundary. Beckman began her career working for Melody Maker, one of London's premier weekly music papers. She soon had extraordinary access to the musicians topping the UK charts—icons of an era when music had an agenda—including The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Jam, The Undertones, The Specials, The Beat, The Police, The Ramones, The Rockats, The Raincoats (Kurt Cobain's inspiration), Billy Idol, and Echo and the Bunnymen. Among these groups, this generation still had the radical idea that each and every punk, skin, mod, rude boy, and ted was just as important as the bands. Janette Beckman's gritty aesthetic placed her on good footing among the kids on the street—and the portraits she made prove that attitude never dies.

The chapters in Pearls of Kitchen Wisdom are divided into "Country Kitchen Décor"; "Organization, Efficiency, Cleanup, and Safety"; "Baking and Cake Decorating"; "Cooking"; "Food Storage and Preserving"; and "From the Recipe Box." "Learning how to make many of the things your family loves and needs is so gratifying," says author Deborah Tukua. "Making things yourself guarantees the quality of the product and your personal satisfaction." For those who like home improvement and decorating projects, this book offers many tips on how to countrify your home using items you probably already have around. Tip number 32: "A snazzy way to dress up straight-back chairs in the kitchen is to place a colorful vest on each." While many of the hints help spark new ideas, many are gratuitous ("Never leave anything flammable such as a towel, potholder, etc., on top of any stove") or rather bizarre ("Don't make cheese and fresh bread in the same day as one will not turn out properly").

Pearls of Kitchen Wisdom gathers the homey advice your mother, aunts, and old neighbor lady keep telling you--some of it's good, some you already know, some is just plain strange. --Dana Van Nest

Since its founding in 1952, Aperture has grown from a small periodical to a cultural phenomenon that reaches the largest and most diverse audience for significant photography worldwide. By examining it's own history, Photography Past/Forward: Aperture at 50 explores the currents in photography that have brought the medium to its present status as one of the most important art forms, and arguably, the most powerful medium of communication. It also demonstrates how Aperture has shaped and furthered this evolution, expanding the international audience for photography.

A remarkable selection of images culled from every period of Aperture's history illuminate photography's ever-expanding ability to evince uncommon beauty and render subjects as diverse as landscape and portraiture to issues of international social concern, whether civil rights, AIDS, domestic abuse, freedoms of speech, environmental conservation, or mass migration, to name a few. Other selections will explore evolving photographic techniques that have allowed image-makers to push artistic boundaries, from Aperture's revival of the vintage photogravure process to current explorations in the digital realm.

With groundbreaking images by such early masters as Joseph Nicéphore Niépce and William Henry Fox Talbot to seminal figures in the history of the magazine including Paul Strand, Dorothea Lange, Minor White, Ansel Adams, Barbara Morgan, and Henri Cartier-Bresson, this lush publication traces the evolution of both the magazine and the photographers whose work has become an important part of its story. Long-time collaborators Sally Mann, Eugene Richards, Richard Misrach, Robert Adams, Nan Goldin, Cindy Sherman, and Mary Ellen Mark, among many others, have made a selection of recent work, which together with images and original spreads from past issues offer a dynamic view of the medium's breadth of focus and innovation.

Remaining true to Aperture's history of providing a vital sounding board for a vast community of thinkers on and practitioners of photography, Photography Past/Forward: Aperture at 50 is supplemented by texts-excerpted from Aperture issues #1 (1952) through #165 (2001)-in which a range of voices from Nancy and Beaumont Newhall to Danny Lyon, Madonna, and Arthur Danto expound theories, manifestos, musings, and critiques on a broad range of photography-related subjects.
