Zambia, one of the poorest countries in Africa, is ravaged by AIDS. The prognosis is horrifying: 20 percent of its nine million inhabitants will die of AIDS in the next ten years, and this is a conservative estimate. It is rumored that as many as one in three Zambians is HIV-positive. Statistics aside, what does AIDS really mean to the Zambians? Geert van Kesteren and Arthur van Amerongen traversed the country, often accompanied by their friend Clement Mufuzi, a sculptor and Zambia's best known AIDS-activist. The result is a blood-curdling reportage about love and death, hope and despair and the daily routine of life that, despite everything, continues.

Peace support operations have unique characteristics. These operations require qualities of commanders and their teams that are in addition to the qualities that are normally needed to conduct successful combat operations. Materiel, doctrine, and training must be tailored to fulfill their functions, but it is the quality of the human in command that leads to successful missions in ambiguous situations. What are these qualities and what are the ingredients for effective operations? The Human in Command: Peace Support Operations combines personal experiences of commanders, empirical data on peace support issues, and theoretical models. It provides the reader with insight into current issues such as leadership, mission characteristics, mission preparation and training, crisis management, operational conditions and processes, multinational cooperation, and effectiveness of individual commanders, units, and missions.

The Hungarian-Dutch photographer Ata Kando was born in Budapest in 1913. In 1932 she left for Paris with her first husband, the artist Gyula Kando, with whom she had three children. After the war she joined the Magnum photo agency as an assistant. In 1954 she married the Dutch photographer Ed van der Elsken and moved to Holland with him. Kando first made her name with compassionate photographs of refugees fleeing Hungary after the suppressed uprising of 1956 and of aboriginal tribes in Amazonia. At the same time she was taking poetic photos of her own children as well as photographing for a number of fashion houses. Ata Kando also played a significant role for younger generations of Dutch photographers through her teaching at the Enschede Academy of Visual Arts (AKI) and elsewhere. Among her pupils were later luminaries such as Koen Wesing and Ad van Denderen, the latter of whom, together with Leo erken, made the selection for this monograph. Her work has been published in many books in addition to being seen at numerous exhibitions throughout Europe and North America. This first comprehensive overview of her photographic oeuvre comes in her 95th year.

A pipe dream is a fantastic hope that is regarded as being impossible to achieve. This book is dedicated to the people of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey, linked by the oil pipeline and their fading hopes for a better future. Besides corporate public relations campaigns, little photographic evidence exists about the impact the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan oil pipeline had had on Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey. This book portrays life as it is lived, with no commercial or public relations agenda. It 'un-smiles' the calendar smiles of corporate propaganda and sheds fresh journalistic light on this geopolitically important region.  The original photographs have toured throughout Switzerland in the autumn of 2009.

Looking at the U.s. 1957-1986

In the Deep End

On 27 August 1994, Thea Pumbroek died in a room of a Holiday Inn in Amsterdam. She had appeared in a number of pornographic films and died from an overdose of drugs whilst being filmed in yet another pornographic movie. Thea was 6 years old. In October 2005, in Johannesburg, South Africa, Michaela Ganchi was abducted, raped, sodomised and brutally murdered. After trying unsuccessfully to kill Michaela by pounding her head with rocks, 27-year-old Ronald Jones cut her throat with a broken bottle. The pathologist at the trial described the physical trauma to the childs vagina and anus as so severe that there would have been lifelong consequences had Michaela survived. Michaela was 6 years old. And the list of innocent children who have been sexually brutalised goes on and on Thankfully, not all children who are sexually abused are murdered, but all sexual crimes against children represent horrific abuses of power and expressions of brutality. The scars from sexual abuse are felt for the rest of a victims life and affect an individuals ability to grow to his or her potential. A part of me died many years ago. I have been mourning it my whole life Garth, a 39-year-old man, was sexually abused by several people from a very young age. By the time he was 13 he was doing drugs and taking money for sex. On April 23, 2008 he committed suicide in a police cell. Garths life story is a testimony to the damage that paedophiles inflict on children, for the rest of their lives. This project is a personal journey that began for Mariella Furrer over 30 years ago when she was molested by a stranger. Since then she has explored the world of child sexual abuse with her camera and a sound recorder, documenting both the brutality of child rape, the resilience of its young survivors, and the dedication of all the people working to protect them. Furrer chose to focus her attention on South Africa,as a metaphoric example for child abuse world wide. Dealing with an epidemic of child sexual abuse. South Africa has one of the highest incidents of child rape and child sexual abuse in the world. An estimated fifty child rapes are reported every day in the country, but child rights activists say that thousands more crimes go unreported and that because children are even less likely to report their abuse, they estimate that the real rate of child rape could be 20 times higher than the reported rate. In other western countries the figures are also staggering. In the U.S. approximately 150.00 to 200.000 children are being sexually abuse every year, and one out of 7 men will be sexually molested before the age of 18. In the U.K. 21% of girls and 11% of boys are victims of child sexual abuse. In Spain 25% of women have been sexually abused in their childhood. Mariella Furrer has worked on this project, on and off, for almost seven years now, inspired by the strength of the young victims and their families, and the passion and perseverance of the policemen and childcare workers who toil around the clock to look after them. In this time, she has produced and gathered a large body of work consisting of photos, journals, in-depth recorded interviews,artwork and poetry. This book will give a voice to the countless children who have endured this ordeal, and give people a better understanding of what exactly it means to be sexually abused as a child.

<div> Special Edition of Animal by Elliot Ross. A portrait of his late cat, put up on a wall in his house by his wife, started to intrigue American artist Elliot Ross. The cat seemed to stare riht at him. Ross wondered if the cat had consciously looked into the camera when the photo was taken What the cat was thinking at that time. In what way the consciousness of an animal differentiated from that of a human being. In a quest to try and find the answers, Ross turned his thoughts and wonderings into a project: Animal. Around the world he portrayed animals and discarded the surroundings afterwards to make the portraits more isolated and powerful. </div>
