Prospecta Press. Hardcover. New. Hardcover. 416 pages. Dimensions: 9.1in. x 6.0in. x 1.4in.Before television, the great picture magazines captured world events for millions of readers. They sent correspondents and photojournalists to the ends of the earth to record history in the making. Among this elite was the photographer, John Launois. During the 1960s and 1970s, the final decades of the golden age of photojournalism, John Launois blossomed as one of the most resourceful, inventive, prolific, highly paid, and widely traveled photojournalists at work during that period. Launois made himself the master of the deeply researched photo essay, and his published work appeared in Life, The Saturday Evening Post, National Geographic, Fortune, Time, Newsweek, Look, Rolling Stone, Paris Match, Londons Sunday Times, and many other American, European, and Asian publications. This is his story told in his own words: from his youth amid the poverty and terror of German-occupied France during World War II when he dreamed of coming to America, to his lean noodle years in the Far East as he struggled to master his craft, to his years in America as a successful photographer and globetrotting adventurer. It was during this time that he recorded some of the most iconic images of the periodpresidents, the Beatles, Malcolm X, wars, riots, and natural disasters. He also writes very candidly of the terrible toll the demands of his work imposed on his family, his loves, and himself. Through it all, he mingled with the rich, powerful, and downtrodden alike, always marveling that he had come so far. This item ships from multiple locations.

As I listened to the description of this birds fondness for petrean free lunches, and stone fence banquets, it occurred to me that this was the best remedy for a stony farm. I bought him and bore him home in triumph, or, to adhere more strictly to the truth, in a handcart. My plan worked to perfection. In a month the ostrich had eaten all the stone on the place, and a brick pile I had collected to build a new stable. I would rather have lost all my other agricultural implements than that bird. It is true his voice was not pleasing--if I had such a voice I would make my fortune by keeping still, and realize the maxim that Silence is golden, but I did nt care for minor inconveniences. A few weeks passed. Owing to the daily efforts of the ostrich, the surrounding country began to assume a decidedly alluvial character. The ostrich began to grow thin and pale with hunger. One afternoon I missed him, and, though already the shades of night were falling like a thousand of brick, I set out in search of him. I had not gone far, when happening to look over the wall of the village grave-yard, I saw the bird, reveling, like an epicure, in the rich feast which it afforded. Tombstone after tombstone rolled down his throat with a hollow roar, and it took half an hour to drive him away. Shortly after this occurrence a young friend of mine, one John W. Smythe (how few people named Smith can spell their name!) made me a short visit. Mr. S. was inclined to be rather dissolute. He was really a brick, and was so hard that the ostrich tried to eat him. I had to put the bird in a solitary cell, . . . This item ships from La Vergne,TN., RareBooksClub.com, paperback. New.

Step by step, she makes her way down the sheer cliff. Sea winds slam her against the wall. The rope skins and bloodies her hands. She drops from the too short rope to a narrow ledge washed by the sea, and lies in a heap on the granite shelf. Waves roll over her outstretched arm. A talisman stone of the Mrthyr glows from a woven golden chain lying around her neck. This stone orders her life and her destiny. She must follow her fated path; or die. Following prophecies and spirit messages from the dead, Fiona struggles to find the mythical island-city of Iodha, fabled home of the Mrthyr. Fiona is not alone in this quest. Somewhere in Kildonan, six other Mthyr stones destine their bearers to the same fate, the fate of the Stones Seven. This item ships from multiple locations.
