The explosive growth in photography book publishing has presented photo-eye with an interesting challenge along with what we think is an exciting opportunity.
How can we continue to offer an ever-increasing inventory of photography books, keep those books continuously in stock and compete with the online deep discounters on price and shipping? The answer is that we can shift much our fullfillment to the web's most efficient book operation, Amazon.com.
Now we are happy to offer you Amazon's discounts on books which are almost always in stock from either Amazon directly or Amazon Marketplace. We can also provide you with the same shipping options that Amazon provides, including on qualified orders, free shipping.
It's important to understand that you will still be supporting photo-eye if you order from Amazon or Amazon Marketplace through photoeye.com. We make it easy for you to do this by providing a dual shopping cart system with separate checkouts.
However, you may still opt to purchase a particular title from photo-eye directly even though the same book is available through Amazon at a less expensive price.
Book publishing is not a perfect industry. Though all books are imperfect in some subtle way, we want to be as accurate as possible on our website if we know that there is a problem with a particular book. Imperfections range from a rubbed dustjacket, a small tear in the dustjacket, or a corner of the book being bumped. No fundamental flaw should be part of an imperfect book's condition. E-mail us our call 505.988.5152 should you have questions prior to ordering a particular imperfect book.
Place your order now and we'll send you the item when it arrives.
You will not be charged until your order ships.
An additional change will be added to the standard handling charge for this item as it is a foreign publication and shipping expenses from foreign countries is extremely expensive or it requires a larger, more expensive box or it requires extra care in handling. Thank you for understanding!
It is estimated that nuclear testing in the 1950s and ’60s put four tons of plutonium-239 and 240 into the stratosphere. That means everyone born after BRAVO has been exposed. Our human bodies are part of the stratigraphic record of the Anthropocene. Dendrochronologists—the scientists who study tree rings—have identified a radiocarbon spike in every tree worldwide that dates specifically to 1954. Every tree alive then shows that spike, and that spike is also embedded in the strata of sediments at the bottom of BRAVO crater.
— William L. Fox
This monograph—a collaboration between photographer Mark Klett and writer, art critic, and cultural geographer William L. Fox—emerged from expeditions the two men were a part of in 2023 and 2024 to the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), a remote nation in the mid Pacific. The book extends the work of their previous collaboration, The Half Life of History (Radius Books, 2011), engaging the RMI’s devastating nuclear legacy after WWII, and continues into the present with the existential threat of climate change.
Weaving together historic images with photographs Klett took on these trips and Fox’s writings in the form of both narrative journal entries and short essays, the project uses the case study of this small island nation to consider future implications of nuclear testing and accelerating climate crises for the entire planet.
