Hurricane Irma was the strongest observed hurricane in the Atlantic in terms of maximum sustained winds. A Category 5 storm, it savagely pummeled the U.S. and British Virgin Islands on September 6, 2017, a day many will never forget. When one has survived a storm of this magnitude, they are forever changed. What they experienced can never be justified by words or photos. From the sounds of the ripping winds and roofs peeling away, to the first glimpses of the devastation when they emerge from their safe havens, to seeing strangers hugging and helping each other, the journey of what a survivor remembers, processes, and holds onto is never-ending. The healing process from tragedy takes a different shape and form for everyone. Healing After Irma is a collection of stories and photos of those affected by Hurricane Irma. It was created by Anne Bequette, a photographer and Irma survivor residing on St. John in the U.S. Virgin Islands. Anne conceived this project to preserve a written record of what unfolded that day and to give people a voice and outlet for their grief. She wanted those affected to know they weren't alone in their distress, and to help them remember any positive aspect of their survival. She invited all participants to step in front of her camera and share a message or bring an object that survived the storm. Included in the invitation were all those on the mainland who submitted their own stories and photos. The book includes tales of both terror and triumph, from a first-hand account of taking cover for five-and-a-half hours in a roofless shower stall as the cement walls blew down, to the story of an engagement ring salvaged from a sunken boat three months after Irma. Alongside photographs of the destruction is a photo of a boy holding a sign thanking his Daddy for carrying him to safety after their roof blew away. Together they form a powerful display of resilience, hope, and healing. From the Author, published photographer in the New York Times & People Magazine: "When Irma hit, I was crammed in a utility closet with 17 other people and 5 dogs. With outside winds in excess of 200mph, I was convinced I was going to die. It was the most terrifying experience of my life, and every single day there is something that triggers that terror. I, myself, needed to find a way to channel the trauma from it, so I picked up my camera, and the idea of this project was born. While photographing it, and later while working on this book, there were many times I had to walk away. I'd bawl my eyes out, and then get right back at it. The storm alone was enough to endure, and then reliving it again through the submitted stories and verbal accounts was emotionally heavy, but so rewarding. The underlying message here is one of survival and hope. Hearing the experiences of Irma made me realize that so many people, from all walks of life, came to the same realization that despite all that was lost, we gained strength, love, and each other to lean on. This community has grown tighter and stronger, and can withstand any storm. I hope this book leaves you feeling extra appreciative of everything that matters to you in this life. Grab a tissue, grab your loved ones, and hold on tight. After all, they're all that matters." - Anne Bequette

While the Internet is an important source for locating photographic images, there still are hundreds of photography books published each year for whose contents there is no external access. This second supplement to Photography Books Index addresses this need by analyzing important photographic anthologies that have been published since 1985. Accessing more than fifty photographic anthologies that are widely held in libraries across the country--along with images from two critical annual compilations, Best of Photojournalism and Graphis Annual--this book identifies photographs that record the history of our times. This reference guide provides an important index to contemporary as well as historical photographers, including those for whom full monographs have not been published. Photographs of important individuals as well as photographic records of cataclysmic events can be located through this index. Extensive descriptions of the individual photographs--from the commonplace to the extraordinary--are identified in this volume. Organized into three sections--Photographers, Subjects of Photographs, and Portraits of Named Individuals--these descriptions provide the researcher with important information on each photograph. An essential volume for all public, special and academic libraries, this index will be an invaluable resource for reporters, historians, academics, students and anyone wishing to research photographs and photographers.

Rugby: An Anthology
Rugby: An Anthology - read free eBook in online reader or directly download on the web page. Select files or add your book in reader. Download and read online ebook Rugby: An Anthology write by Brian Levison. This book was released on 2015-08-27. Rugby: An Anthology available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Inspiring and irreverent by turns, Brian Levison's new anthology has drawn on rugby's wealth of excellent writing. Frank Keating, P. G. Wodehouse, Alec Waugh, A. A. Thomson, John Reason and Mick Imlah are among the distinguished names who have written movingly, amusingly and entertainingly about the game they loved. Great players such as Brian O'Driscoll, Willie John McBride, J. P. R. Williams, Chester Williams, Colin Meads, Gavin Hastings and Brian Moore give us a fascinating insider's view, as does World Cup Final referee Derek Bevan, who reveals what it is like to try to control thirty powerful and often volatile men in a highly competitive situation. But some of the best writing and the wittiest insights come from those who played their rugby at a much less exalted level. The origins of the game - sometimes true, sometimes fanciful - are explored as are some of its rituals like the haka. There are amusing tales including that of the four Tibetan boys sent by the Dalai Lama to learn the game at Rugby School and an account of New Zealand scrum-half Chris Laidlaw's hostile reception at a village fête in Wales. Along with barely believable stories about the game's hardest men, including the French coach Jean 'le Sultan' Sébédio, who used to conduct training sessions wearing a sombrero and wielding a long whip, and 'Red' Conway who had his finger amputated rather than miss a game for South Africa. One section 'Double Vision' looks at the same incident from opposing viewpoints, such as when the then relatively inexperienced Irish immortal Willie John McBride took a swing at the mighty All Black Colin Meads in a line-out. Another, 'Giving it Everything', shows how exceptional courage was not restricted to the rugby field but extended to the battle grounds of the First World War. From the compiler of highly acclaimed All in a Day's Cricket, this selection covers the game from virtually every angle and is sure to delight any rugby fan.
