The designs Power creates--whether for parklands, playgrounds, or private sanctuaries--reflect the meticulous attention she pays to each place's particularity and to the desires and living patterns of those who will use and enjoy her gardens. From residential gardens in Beverly Hills and Malibu to street planning for downtown Los Angeles and play zones for the Pasadena Children's Museum, the selection of Power's work in this beautiful book reveals her multidimensional aesthetic. Her approach can range from the lavishly leafy to the meditatively restrained, from the comfortably homey to the superlatively (though always quirkily) formal. But no matter what the look, no matter who the client, each of her projects reminds us of the power that gardens have to refresh the body, center the mind, and liberate the spirit.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50095523397905,"sku":"CIN0486241548G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50353740087569,"sku":"CIN0486241548A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51491238740241,"sku":"GOR005887341","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51497795125521,"sku":"GOR009848174","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0486241548.jpg?v=1750846096"},{"product_id":"men-at-work-book-lewis-w-hine-9780486234755","title":"Men at Work","description":"\u003ci\u003eI will take you into the heart of modern industry where machines and skyscrapers are being made, where the character of the men is being put into the motors, the airplanes, the dynamos upon which the life and happiness of millions of us depend.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003eLewis H. Hine (1874-1940), one of America's best photographers, wrote this in his introduction to \u003ci\u003eMen at Work, \u003c\/i\u003ea book, he said, about -men of courage, skill, daring, and imagination.- And in 69 attention-riveting photographs, including those of the construction of the Empire State Building, he makes us believe once again in the heroism of ordinary people.\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in 1932, and now exceedingly rare, \u003ci\u003eMen at Work\u003c\/i\u003e takes us into coal mines, heavy industry, and tire and airplane factories. We see railroad workers in the shop, on the tracks and as train crews. Foundation men, connecters, bellmen, hoisters, derrick men, plumbers-up, riveters, buckers-up, catchers, burners, heaters, welders, bolt boys, sky boys -- the various trades of construction workers -- build from bedrock that great monument and symbol of twentieth-century life, the Empire State Building. For this edition 18 additional and extraordinary Hine photographs of this construction have been added.\u003cbr\u003eHine, widely known for his pictures of immigrants arriving at Ellis Island and his studies of child labor, combines enormous technical ability with sensitivity and deep feeling. The people in this book do their job with pride, dignity, and skill. They are in control of the giant machines they use, at home in space, not dwarfed by their constructions.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50207534350609,"sku":"CIN0486234754G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50334458020113,"sku":"GOR004233660","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50355389628689,"sku":"CIN0486234754A","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51423065833745,"sku":"CIN0486234754VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51841336574225,"sku":"GOR007023410","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0486234754.jpg?v=1751448812"},{"product_id":"ellis-island-book-lewis-w-hine-9780893813963","title":"Ellis Island","description":"A photographic documentary of the peak years of immigration, and Ellis Island's subsequent decline and restoration. The rich, multi-ethnic history of America's most significant immigration point is portrayed in photographs spanning more than a century. Photographic contributors include Lewis Hine, Augustus Sherman, Edward Levick, Jerry Uelsman, Shirley C.Burden, Mariana Cook, Sylvia Plachy and Emmet Gowin. Ancestors of nearly half of all the people living in the United States today came to America through the immigration port of Ellis Island. Like the Statue of Liberty, the faces on Mt Rushmore, and the Golden Gate Bridge, Ellis Island has come to represent the expansive spirit of the nation, a symbol of its identity. In 1984, Ellis Island was closed to allow massive reconstruction. Now after a six-year hiatus, this entry point to America for more than twelve million immigrants between 1892 and 1954 will reopen to the public. More than 1.5 million people are expected to explore the new part in the first year.  The massive restoration of this historic site, scheduled to reopen in September, 1990, is being commemorated by Aperture with publication of this book of photographs and oral histories.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":53024050217233,"sku":"GOR005227442","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780893813963.jpg?v=1768405111"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-lewis-w-hine.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
