Seldom has any book been so widely read and loved as Tolkien`s classic tale, The Hobbit.

I believe that anybody could be anonymous. To understand each other we first must become even. We are always of two halves. My Anonymous is a cry of emotions. In this book the reader chooses himself, who he or she is and to whom he or she will address to. Who knows where they might actually find themselves. Who knows where their truth lays. Let it be, as long as it reaches another anonymous.

In 1941 Ansel Adams was hired by the United States Department of the Interior to photograph Americas national parks for a series of murals that would celebrate the countrys natural heritage. Because of the escalation of World War II, the project was suspended after less than a year, but not before Adams had produced this group of breathtaking images, which illustrate both his early innovations and the shape of his later, legendary career as Americas foremost landscape photographer. The invitation to photograph the nations parklands was the perfect assignment for Adams, as it allowed him to express his deepest convictions as artist, conservationist, and citizen.

"Ansel Adams at 100" is the most significant book yet on the great photographers work, edited and with text by legendary curator John Szarkowski. John Szarkowski has painstakingly selected what he considers Adams greatest work - 114 images - and has attempted to find the single best photographic print of each. He notes, It includes many photographs that will be unfamiliar to lovers of Adams work, and a substantial number that will be new to Adams scholars. This book, with Szarkowskis incisive essay, is the first serious effort since Adams death in 1984 to re-evaluate his achievement as an artist.
