Danziger Gallery in NYC had an exhibition of the photographs featured in this book September 13 to October 20 2018. Christopher Anderson's photographs portray a contemporary China in the midst of perpetual reinvention. The images are tightly cropped and extremely close up bringing the viewer to an intimate distance where all context is removed except for the ambient artificial light that illuminates the faces giving only the sensual information of the physical form allowing the viewer the indiscreet pleasure of staring at another human face and wondering who the individual might be or what they might be thinking about at the moment of the photograph. A somewhat vapid statement by the photographer is as follows: "I have seen the future and it is now and it is China. There is no need for the past. It can be erased. A new happiness is being constructed an approximation of joy better than the real thing." Christopher Anderson is a member of Magnum Photos. He first gained recognition in 1999 when his poignant images of the rescue of Haitian refugees taken onboard a sinking wooden boat named the "Believe in God" won him the Robert Capa Gold Medal. <br/> <br/> STANLEY/BARKER hardcover

The account of the voyage to Smith Sound and of the winter on the north-west coast of Greenland with extensive notes on the flora and fauna. No one had yet sailed beyond its northern portals. Kane determined to do so. John P. Kennedy secretary of the navy gave enthusiastic personal support and Henry Grinnell donated the brig Advance. Private subscription financed the enterprise. No trace of Franklin's party was found by the expedition but the coasts of Kane Basin were charted and Kennedy Channel was discovered Meteorological magnetic astronomical and tidal observations botanical glacial and geological surveys studies of animal and Eskimo life established sound foundations for the scientific study of the Arctic. In August 1854 Hayes the surgeon and eight men protesting the commander's resolve to remain a second winter announced their determination to hazard the journey to the South Greenland settlements. Kane sanctioning the withdrawal equipped them from limited supplies. In December they returned to the vessel broken in body and morale.
