This graphic biography by Sam Nakahira, developed in consultation with Asawa's younger daughter, Addie Lanier, chronicles the genesis of Asawa as an artist-from the horror of Pearl Harbor to her transformative education at Black Mountain College to building her life in San Francisco, where she would further develop and refine her groundbreaking sculpture. Asawa never sought fame, preferring to work on her own terms: for her, art and life were one. Using lively illustrations and a dozen photographs of Asawa's artwork, RUTH ASAWA: AN ARTIST TAKES SHAPE is a graphic retelling of her young adult years and demonstrates the transformative power of making art.

1st printing. By Tony Mitchell. Through over 200 color and black-and-white stimulating and perhaps shocking photographs, Sex: Take a Walk on the Wild Side explores the subject of what was once considered "dirty" or "taboo" sex through themes like dressing for pleasure, domination and discipline, bondage games, and extreme pleasures. Fetishism, bondage, and sadomasochism are prime examples of previously taboo areas of sexuality that are now being reevaluated by mainstream society. Sex looks at what is happening on those boundary lines through the eyes of fifty talented photographers who bring a wide range of experiences and viewpoints to their chosen subject matter and expose their work through every kind of visual medium. Photographers include Helmut Newton, Irving Klaw, John Alexander Scott Coutts, John Sutcliffe, Suze Randall, Alwyn Coates, Bob Zak, Erik Hansen, and many others. Softcover, 9 1/2-in. x 11-in., 224 pages, PC/PB&W. Mature Readers
