Books like Loving by Hugh Nini

Erich Fromm examines love as a practiced art rather than a simple feeling, distinguishing types such as brotherly, motherly, erotic, self‑love, and love of God, and urging genuine care amid modern superficiality.

In this revised, updated edition of his 1983 retrospective, Yousuf Karsh, the most renowned portrait photographer of our time, presents over sixty years of his work. This classic portrait artist of the camera has repeatedly - and unforgettably - photographed the statesmen, artists, and literary and scientific figures who have shaped our lives and the private world of the mind with such perception and illumination that his image has often become the definitive portrait. Karsh is the record of a major artist whose portraits have made being "Karshed" (as Field Marshal Montgomery described it) a singular accomplishment. It is the first book on Karsh to include a large group of photographs of arresting people not in the public eye, of workers in their environments, and of his early works and experiments. It is the first book to represent his work in color, with surprising masterworks. One of the most striking features of this book is the first-time presentation of multiple portraits: a number of subjects are shown in several prints from the same or other sittings, the collective portrait revealing the consistency and depth of the photographer's vision.

Dear Friends is the first book to demonstrate how common it was for 19th-century American men to commemorate intimate friendships with a visit to the local photographer. Reproducing more than 100 never-before-published vintage photographs, this groundbreaking book provides evidence of a kind of physical intimacy between men that challenges the conventional view of the Victorian era. David Deitcher's provocative text combines historical research, social observation, and pictorial analysis to explore the nature of same-sex affection between men during the period.

"A lavish collection of spectacular photography above and below the ocean waves, this book is a stunning visual celebration of the explorers and scientists, naval officers and yachtsmen, fishermen and divers, who have harnessed, surveyed and investigated the great oceans of the world and in so doing have broadened the horizons of our understanding. Atmospheric black-andwhite prints from the finest maritime collections and leading photographers such as Annie Leibovitz appear alongside modern imagery by leading marine photographers Rick Tomlinson and Nigel Millard. Completely international in its scope, some of the famous names to appear include Robert FitzRoy, Jacques Cousteau, Robert D Ballard, Wilfried Erdman, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, Sarah Campbell and Ben Ainslie"--Publisher's description.
