Book Description
Some years ago, when artist Mary Frank first met writer Peter Matthiessen, she told him that his book The Snow Leopard had inspired a drawing of that mythical animal. Not long thereafter, he stopped by her studio to see the drawing and was so stunned by her work that he proposed they do a book together - a kind of "bestiary" using her many strong drawings of birds and animals, not as illustrations, but in loose association with the evocation of wild creatures in his journals. Over the years the idea was given urgency by the rapid decline of wildlife everywhere. They decided to concentrate on Africa, where the great natural populations have been reduced drastically during the thirty years, from 1961 to 1991, that Matthiessen has traveled on that continent. The resulting book is a lyrical and inspiring collection of words and images that beautifully conveys the nature of animals in the African wild. Through Matthiessen's essays, drawn from his three previous books on Africa as well as from material never before published in book form, we attain a fresh perception of elephants, white rhinos, gorillas, and other endangered creatures. Mary Frank's evocative images - 71 in all, including 23 in color - form a poignant counterpoint to Matthiessen's narrative. Peter Matthiessen and Mary Frank have created a work of great power and beauty, one that is certain to move readers to a new appreciation of African wildlife. But it is hoped that this book will do still more, by drawing attention and support to the protection of wild animals the world over. To further that aim, the authors are donating a portion of their earnings from this book to Wildlife Conservation International, an arm of the NewYork Zoological Society.

Book Description
In 1950, Robert Frank left his job as a photographer in New York to travel through Europe with his family. That summer he arrived in Valencia, Spain, which was at the time a humble, bleak place enduring the austere conditions of the postwar period like the rest of the country. The pictures Frank took of Valencia depict the daily life of a fishing village. The photographs in this book, many of which have never been published before, allow dignity to override poverty.

Mabou

Book Description
These colored Polaroids are the photographs Robert Frank is making now. Frank is best known for his seminal book, The Americans, which features 83 photographs selected from more than 28,000 taken on his legendary road trip across the United States. His Polaroids, however, are the antithesis of this sort of cumbersome editing process: Here, what you see is what you get. The title of these three small books in a slipcase--Mabou--simply reflects their content. These are images of the artist's life at his home in Mabou, on Cape Breton Island in Nova Scotia, Canada, where Frank has lived since 1971--sunlight falling across tools placed on a table, stacks of chopped wood, bookshelves, laughing guests, self-portraits.
