Archivum includes an exclusive interview with the photographer, Kevin Cummins, which reveals new information about Joy Division, the photographer’s relationship with the band, and Kevin’s techniques for photographing.
The photographic prints (all 10 x 8 inches black-and-whites) are reproduced full size, both front and back, with the photograph’s notes and marks as well as stamps from the music magazines.
This is a unique record of an important archive collection of original photographs of one of the world’s most iconic bands.
Tworzenie map towarzyszy człowiekowi od najdawniejszych lat. Od momentu, gdy homo sapiens nauczył się komunikować, używamy ich, aby zrozumieć nasze otoczenie. Ale, jak powiedział kiedyś Albert Einstein:"nie można używać starych map do odkrywania nowego świata".A teraz, kiedy świat zmienia się szybciej niż kiedykolwiek, stare mapy nie opisują już znanej nam rzeczywistości, która staje się dla nas prawdziwą terra incognita.Ta książka pokaże ci świat, o jakim nie miałeś pojęcia: pożary w Arktyce, wpływ wzrostu poziomu morza na miasta na całym świecie, sprzeczna z intuicją przyszłość wzrostu populacjiGoldin i Muggah na jej kartach śledzą dzieje narodów, miast, wojen, zmian klimatu i technologii, a wszystko to w skali globalnej. Pełna mało znanych, a przy tym zaskakujących faktów. "Dokąd zmierza świat" opiera się na dziesięcioleciach badań. Autorzy, łącząc hipnotyzujące, najnowocześniejsze mapy satelitarne z pouczającą i pełną pasji analizą, tworzą wykresy wpływu ludzkości na planetę oraz sposobów, w jakie możemy wywrzeć rzeczywisty wpływ, aby ją uratować i aby świat jednak zmierzał we właściwym kierunku."Przyszłościowy przewodnik po naszych niepewnych czasach. Fascynująco pokazuje wyzwania, przed jakimi współcześnie stoimy, oraz sposoby ich rozwiązania, jednocześnie napawając optymizmem co do przyszłości".Arianna Huffington"Oszałamiająca relacja z naszego szybko zmieniającego się świata, jednocześnie szokuje i otrzeźwia, proponując plan przyszłych zmian. Niezwykłe mapy Iana Goldina i Roberta Muggaha oferują zupełnie nowe spojrzenie na niektóre z naszych najpilniejszych kwestii środowiskowych i geopolitycznych".Francis Fukuyama, autor bestsellera "Koniec historii i ostatni człowiek"
