Living Liberty is when you live free. It''s a very real energetic phenomenon. You carry it with you just as a turtle carries its home. It''s part of you. It''s not something that you can purchase or someone can give you. Living Liberty is ''an inside job.'' It''s a Right Brain quality, a Heart quality. My story is fundamentally an expression of the Inner-Guidance i have received since childhood, which I became consciously aware of five decades ago while batting in Little League Baseball. I am confident that the Life-Lessons I candidly share will serve as a worthy steppingstone in your joyful pursuit of Life, Liberty and Happiness.

Richard Benson, former dean of the Yale School of Art and a MacArthur Foundation Fellow, has been a photographer for more than four decades, but until now his art often took a back seat to his prodigious achievements as a printer and a teacher. This volume presents one hundred photographs by Benson, highlighting the unique properties of his prints and exemplifying his fresh techniques for reproducing them for publication. From direct digital capture through inkjet output, his renowned technical wizardry has yielded unusually vibrant and beguiling colour prints that are at once ultra vivid and utterly natural, like our everyday visual experience. Their uncanny lushness and clarity give voice to Benson''s generous, inquisitive eye. An essay by Peter Galassi, Chief Curator of Photography at MoMA, surveys the work, and a text by Benson explains how it was made.

An expose of the bizarre beliefs of the Mormon Church, and former Mormon Cindy Benson''s personal experiences with the church.

The world is a confusing place, especially for children, and their innocent observations and questions can be side-splittingly hilarious.

Margaret Thatcher, UK prime minister and leader of the Conservative Party, was the only women to hold either post, and was re-elected for an unprecedented third term, earning her a place in British history.

Most people know him as one member of the band Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, but what they may not know is that Graham Nash has pursued a parallel career in photography and digital imaging. With more than 100 illustrations, his book uses thought-provoking essays to sum up the state of fine-art digital printmaking.

When Richard Benson was growing up he felt like �the village idiot with O�levels� � glowing school reports aren�t much help when you�re trying to help a sow give birth, or drive a power harrow in a straight line without getting half the hedgerow stuck in the tines. He left Yorkshire to work as a journalist in London, but returned when his dad called with the news that they were going to have to sell the family farm, and, in so doing, leave the home and livelihood that the Bensons had worked for generations. This is not only a moving personal account, but also one that reflects a profound change in rural life.

Originally published in hardcover in 2005.

A serial rapist is loose in San Diego, and Juliet Lighterman is his tenth victim. Luckily, during the attack, she unmasks her assailant, recognizing him as the leering bartender she encountered earlier that evening. An arrest is made, and the Chief of Police is all smiles (this being an election year). But not for long. Murray Carrick, attorney for the defense, suspects foul play; and all clues seem to snake their way to the doorstep of Adrian Lighterman: the rape victim''s father. So get out your magnifying glass (you''ll need it to read between the lines), grab a snack, and prepare for mischief and "serendipity" to co-mingle. The result is Lighterman''s Hitch.

"In this collection of photographs we see the world of industrial work refracted through the Friedlander lens. Over a period of 16 years he did his own work amongst American workers in locations as diverse as factories, offices, telemarketing centers, and corporate offices. Some of his work gathered here was commissioned by curators, some by corporate CEOs, but all the images re-align the world of work for the rest of us, showing us relationships between objects, people, and places that would escape a less idiosyncratic observer."--BOOK JACKET.
