Paperback. The Balmuccia fault, situated in Italy, is a thin line of glass formed during an earthquake which occured millions years ago, several kilometers underground and eventually surfaced during the formation of the Alps. This bearly visible line is studied by Alexandre Schubnel and his team from the Geology Laboratory of Paris Ecole Normale Superieure (France). This series of images completed in 2015 is the result of the photographers collaboration with the scientists to produce a precise mapping of the fault, as well as proposing a personal, visual extension of the story.The Fault is the second chapter of a photographic trilogy on physical science, started in 2010 with astrophysics (A Black Matter, published in 2012 by Journal/F93). It will end in 2017 with a final chapter covering the field of glaciology. Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.

About this title

Synopsis

The Luton Auguries emerged after some photographic files were found in a second hand bookshop. They describe a religious mania focused on the end of the world and the second coming, which flourished in the area around Luton during the 1970s and early 1980s. It seems when it rained day after day for months the mental equilibrium of the district was de-stabilised. Why has there been an amnesic response about this event? What became of the people involved? What was its legacy? Many questions remain unanswered. The book seems like a work of science fiction with perfect period detail but the events do seem to have taken place. Perhaps it is a clear example of the adage that truth is stranger than fiction.
