Roughly 11 miles long and four miles wide, with a rocky, mountainous landscape, Kasos was famed from antiquity as a centre of shipbuilding, and played a role in the Greek War of Independence. But with the advent of steam, the island’s shipyard closed, and its population dwindled. Today some one thousand people remain on the island, living in five small villages full of historic homes and churches. The islanders produce agricultural products of exceptional quality; preserve their distinctive culinary, musical, and dance traditions; and welcome a small number of adventurous travellers to their sparkling beaches.   Robert A. McCabe’s stunning black-and-white photographs of Kasos, most taken in 1965, offer a unique record of the island’s people, architecture, and natural landscapes. In a stark contrast to the transformation undergone by other Greek islands, many of the scenes depicted in McCabe’s photographs remain almost unchanged today. The text, by a distinguished Greek journalist born on Kasos, brings to life the places and personalities pictured in this book, which will appeal to all travellers off the beaten track.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49743727427857,"sku":"NGR9780789214300","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52430939685137,"sku":"NLS9780789214300","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/078921430X.jpg?v=1751448626"},{"product_id":"greece-after-the-war-book-robert-a-mccabe-9780789214744","title":"Greece After the War","description":"Stirring images of Greece and her people in a time of change, from noted photographer Robert A.

But when  Robert McCabe and his brother arrived there in 1954, they were the only  visitors on the island. In this collection of stunning photographs from  the 1950s and 1960s - reproduced as tritones of surpassing quality -  McCabe has recorded the hardscrabble, yet often romantic, life of a  vanished era. Picturesque whitewashed houses dug into the volcanic  pumice; the harvest of the island's famous cherry tomatoes; the winding  road to the ruins of ancient Thera - all this was captured by his lens.  McCabe's photographs are complemented by two essays from the noted Greek  journalist Margarita Pournara, one poetically evoking her grandmother's  childhood on Santorini and the other explaining the geological forces  that have given this volcanic island its dramatic form. A companion to  McCabe's recent volume on Mykonos, this book will fascinate modern-day  visitors to Santorini, as well as those who trace their roots to the  Greek islands.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49760049824017,"sku":"NGR9780789213662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50366173380881,"sku":"CIN0789213664G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52428046762257,"sku":"NLS9780789213662","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0789213664.jpg?v=1750946404"},{"product_id":"weekend-in-havana-book-robert-a-mccabe-9780789209269","title":"Weekend in Havana","description":"Both Cuba and the United States have strict rules governing photographic activity in Cuba. The U.S. carefully delineates what kinds of photographic undertakings are forbidden, while Cuba has, in the past, imprisoned photographers for giving a \"distorted image of Cuban reality.\" Nevertheless, photographer Robert A. McCabe managed to satisfy the many regulations, and spent four eventful days in Havana, taking pictures of a people rarely seen by the rest of the world.   Weekend in Havana celebrates Havana’s citizens in a compilation of moving and thought-provoking photographs, 97 in total and all in full colour. From images of buildings which combine classical influences with splashes of vibrant colour to intimate portraits of the people, the book’s presentation of Havana is fresh and realistic. The reader will meet a range of closely observed personalities, such as a policeman patrolling in a shabby police car, an expression of boredom and frustration flitting across his face; women young and old labelling bottles of rum in a factory; and children in both the red school uniforms of the Communist regime and in everyday American clothing. Introductions by Robert A. McCabe and Andrew Szegedy-Maszak, who has published widely on the history of photography, cover such topics as the difficulties facing photographers in Cuba, the differences between popular conceptions of Cuba and its reality, and the poverty, politics, and flux between old and new which mark Havana today. Weekend in Havana is a trilingual edition featuring English, Spanish, and Greek, making the book uniquely accessible.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":49985883832593,"sku":"CIN0789209268G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52430516617489,"sku":"NLS9780789209269","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0789209268.jpg?v=1751361600"},{"product_id":"ramble-in-central-park-book-robert-a-mccabe-9780789211996","title":"The Ramble in Central Park","description":"A handsome photographic tribute to The Ramble, the untamed “wild garden” of Central Park in New York City.  For many New Yorkers, Central Park is Manhattan’s crown jewel and what makes the city livable year round. For tourists, this urban oasis is a must-see destination on any sightseeing visit. For acclaimed photographer Robert A. McCabe, Central Park is defined by its Ramble—a densely forested thirty-eight acres replete with stunning lake vistas, enormous granite boulders, a canopy of trees, winding paths and streams, and ornate and rustic bridges. McCabe’s photographs in The Ramble in Central Park: A Wilderness West of Fifth have captured this wooded labyrinth in its off-the-beaten-path glory in its most photogenic seasons.  The Ramble in Central Park is primarily organised by four regions, supplemented by one large map by Christopher Kaeser of the entire area and four close-ups of each section. The text is a series of essays by writers including The New Yorker’s E. B. White and C. Stevens. Topics cover the history of the park’s creation by Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux, and the failed attempt of Robert Moses to essentially eliminate the Ramble in the 1950s, as well as the Ramble’s 250 species of woodland birds and the area’s remarkable geology and plant life. A compelling introduction by Central Park Conservancy President and Administrator Douglas Blonsky describes the recent renovation and continued protection of the Ramble.  This photography book should appeal to nature lovers, bird watchers, and New York residents and visitors alike. It is the perfect tourist souvenir before or after a visit to Central Park and The Ramble.    .","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50366080975121,"sku":"CIN0789211998G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50366083662097,"sku":"CIN0789211998VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52430710472977,"sku":"NLS9780789211996","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0789211998.jpg?v=1751170444"},{"product_id":"on-the-road-with-a-rollei-in-the-50s-book-robert-a-mccabe-9789601626468","title":"On the Road with a Rollei in the '50s","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50428984557841,"sku":"GOR006680125","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9601626468.jpg?v=1750969278"},{"product_id":"ramble-in-central-park-book-robert-a-mccabe-9780789210913","title":"The Ramble in Central Park","description":"For many New Yorkers, Central Park is Manhattan's crown jewel and what makes the city liveable year round.
