Originally created to preserve a record of scientific samples, the black and white X-rays of fish at the Smithsonian Institution have emerged as astonishing works of art in their own right. This stunning compendium of imagescomparable to fine and delicate engravingsis drawn from the National Museum of Natural History, which holds the world's largest collection of ichthyological specimens (and which, upon the reopening of its Ocean Hall in Summer of 2008, will put these X-rays on permanent display). As mesmerizingly beautiful as they are amazingly detailed, these images reveal thehidden wonders of the creatures of the deep.

The Time Between is an original exhibition and publication dedicated to the work and legacy of Minor White (American, 1908-1976). This catalog marks the first major examination focusing on White's sequences: a unique style of presentation he refined throughout his career. White's early career as a poet and mentorship under Edward Weston both informed his photographic impulses. His theory around sequential photography that "The time between photographs is filled by the beholder," is poetic in its own right and a book is perhaps the perfect medium in which to experience this phenomenon. White, a co-founder of Aperture Magazine was a force in the field for more than three decades and one of America's most influential photographers, writers, and educators of the 20th century. His photographic percept now commonly referred to as "visual literacy," a way of seeing and reading photographs is more relevant than ever.

This publication is the first comprehensive survey of Nancy Newhall, a prolific writer and major contributor to the history of photography. During the first half of the twentieth century, Newhall helped define photography and was one of the first to write about visual literacy- the importance of reading images and how text can change their meaning. Using her skills as designer, editor and collaborator, Nancy Newhall helped shape the concept of the modern photographic book. A Literacy of Images celebrates the 100th anniversary of her birth, exhibiting her photographs (many for the first time) and the work of her circle of friends, including well-known photographers such as Ansel Adams, Paul Strand, Helen Levitt and Edward Weston.
