Book Description
"In this lavishly illustrated book, historian Bruce Cumings introduces South Korea's rich history and establishes a context for 240 remarkable images by Magnum photographers that present Korea as it is today. Korea is a country of wonderful contrasts, at once a showplace of the modern and a land of beautiful mountains, coastlines, and ancient buildings. A major global industrial power, Korea is an economic powerhouse, moving confidently in such markets as food production, clothing, automobiles, and especially in science and technology. It is home to a vibrant, hard working people whose dynamic culture reflects its wealth of history and contemporary influences." "Here some of the world's greatest photographers capture both the beautiful and the commonplace, offering a close look at a country that is little known to many. This book is the next best thing to a personal visit, and a welcome visual return for those living abroad."--BOOK JACKET.

Inside North Korea
Author: Mark Edward HarrisPublisher: Chronicle Books
ISBN: 1452113637
Category : Photography
Languages : en
Pages : 194
Book Description
All but closed to outside visitors and influence, its public posture guarded and combative, we see almost nothing from inside North Korea. Award-winning photographer Mark Edward Harris has had rare access to this reclusive country, traveling within its borders as well as documenting life along its northern border with China and the highly militarized DMZ dividing North and South Korea. His images are amazing: the monumental architecture and empty streets of the capital; tightly controlled zones of economic and tourist trade with South Korea; mass games featuring 100,000 choreographed participants. Short essays, extended captions, and a foreword by North Korea expert Bruce Cumings further illuminate a country increasingly at the center of international politics.

Korea Style
Author: Marcia IwatatePublisher: Tuttle Publishing
ISBN: 1462906656
Category : Architecture
Languages : en
Pages : 224
Book Description
With over 500 stunning photographs, this design book reveals the relatively unknown, unique aesthetics of Korea. Korea Style reveals the central elements of Korean design: simplicity, moderation, constraint, and a deep respect for all things natural. Despite the filtering of Japanese and Western design ideas into Korea over the millennia, the peninsula has maintained its own identity and is gaining recognition for its own particular "style." Spatial, spiritual and material qualities are reflected in the pure beauty of its architectural design, while classic objects that immediately distinguish themselves as being uniquely Korean are used with distinctive flair in interior design and decoration. Korea Style is the first book devoted to the country's architecture and interior design--featuring twenty-two exceptional homes, studios, and public and heritage buildings. They range from vernacular to cutting-edge creations and are a celebration of Korea's culture, natural landscape, arts and crafts, and architectural history juxtaposed with a drive towards invention, experimentation and individuality.
