	Technical advances between 1870 and 1930 brought an array of fads, among them the art of capturing ghostly apparitions in photographs. In a world ravaged by war, the chance to contact lost loved ones was readily embraced, and celebrity spirit photographers were both revered as miracle workers and reviled as frauds, exploiting the bereaved. Drawing on collections in The British Library and other archives, this book examines the evolution and popularity of spirit photography and reproduces works by its leading exponents.

	The once clandestine field of homoerotic photography has benefited and developed greatly with the emergence of the serious study of sexual behaviour and is intricately linked to religious, scientific, political and social change. In this work almost 350 photographs, many explicitly erotic, accompany a commentary on the development of gay emancipation, progressive moral liberalization and the assertion of artistic freedom over the course of the 20th century. Sexually explicit, extreme content.

	Photography - like jazz - is an act of improvisation, turning the fleeting moment into art. This collection of more than 100 evocative black-and-white prints by one of America's leading photographers is testimony to a lifetime's engagement with the music. An unashamedly personal selection, it captures dancers in clubs, session players in studios and street musicians from New York to New Orleans, alongside jazz greats such as Thelonious Monk, Coleman Hawkins, John Coltrane, Archie Shepp and Sarah Vaughan.

	Dominated by vast salt and sand plains and inhospitable to all but the hardiest stock of buffalo, elephants, rhinos, lions and leopards, the Kalahari is Africa at its most spectacular. This compilation of Fischer's stunning wildlife photography, with text by Judith Burri, introduces the various habitats of the region - the savannas, saltpans and rivers and the Okavango Delta, the sprawling oasis of canals, swamps and lagoons at the centre of the Kalahari.

	At the furthest reaches of human technological achievement, the scanning electron microscope can magnify up to an astounding 200,000 times, producing images of the strange and complex structures of another world: a nano world normally invisible to the naked eye. The book is in two parts: 'Nano form' reveals the patterns and structures of single cells, hairs, pollen and spores; 'Nano function' reveals the precise mechanisms of nature - the tools, weapons and sense organs of plants and animals.
