Members include top museum curators and scientists, photo collectors and dealers, photo historians, photographers and artists, students and teachers, and contemporary practitioners of antiquarian processes. We invite anyone that loves 19th-century photography and its processes, history, impact, and aesthetics to join. The Society was formed in 1988 as a group "dedicated to the history, science, and art of the daguerreotype," but has expanded its mission to include all forms of early photography and its processes; hence the Society's new mission and tag line: "dedicated to the history, science, and art of early photography and processes."

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The true story of one man learning to live with, and despite, the gig economyHu Anyan has held nineteen different jobs since he graduated. He's been a convenience store clerk, a bicycle salesman, a security guard and a delivery driver (among many other things). Every time the work gets punishing or the bosses too bossy, he moves on, from city to city, carrying with him nothing but his copies of Chekhov and Carver. This is his story.A runaway bestseller in China, I Deliver Parcels in Beijing is about what it's like to try and make a living - and stay sane - in the gig economy. From the pecking order on a parcel-sorting factory floor to the perfect alcohol dose to get some daylight shut-eye before a punishing night shift, from the Kafkaesque bureaucracy of the hiring departments to the ideal layout of a delivery route, Hu illuminates the hidden lives behind the roles that keep our world going. But he also shows how, through the liberating power of literature, he finds solace, and even freedom in his existence. Quietly radical, brimming with humanity and humour, this book asks: what does work really mean? What should it mean? And do any of us really know how to live?

Lo mas sorprendente es que ahora puede anadir un nuevo titulo: autor de exito internacional. Leah Greenblatt, The New York Times Book ReviewEste relato, un exito de ventas en China y vendido en mas de 20 paises, es deliciosamente honesto y divertido, y da rostro y voz al futuro del trabajo, como si Nomadland se encontrara con Nickel and Dimed.EXISTE UNA MANERA DE GANARSE LA VIDA SIN DEJAR DE VIVIR?El repartidor de paquetes lector de Chejov y Carver que ha conquistado a millon y medio de lectores con su historiaEl idioma puede ser el chino, pero el agotamiento es global. The New StatesmanEl autor de este libro no es escritor. O no lo era hasta que el relato de su vida encadenando trabajos precarios en las megaciudades de China se convirtio en un fenomeno editorial.Hu Anyan ha tenido diecinueve empleos distintos desde que se graduo: repartidor de paquetes, guardia de seguridad, dependiente. Cada vez que uno de ellos se volvia insoportable, lo dejaba y cambiaba de ciudad, llevando siempre consigo obras de sus autores favoritos. Chejov, Carver o Foster Wallace eran las ventanas por las que entraba aire mientras intentaba sobrevivir en un sistema que nunca fue disenado para sostenernos.Con su voz sin adornos, su capacidad de observacion y un delicado sentido del humor, Hu ilumina las vidas invisibles tras los oficios que mantienen el mundo en marcha, pero tambien muestra como, gracias a la literatura, encontro consuelo e incluso una forma de libertad.Esta obra se interroga sobre el sentido del trabajo mientras plantea una pregunta mas acuciante a lo largo de toda la narracion: acaso alguno de nosotros sabe de verdad como vivir?ENGLISH DESCRIPTIONAn Economist Best Book of 2025A Financial Times Best Book of 2025A Sunday Times Best Book of 2025"Hu Anyans I Deliver Parcels in Beijing, translated by Jack Hargreaves, offers an unvarnished dispatch from the front lines of the gig economy.The Cinderella bit of it is that now he can add a new title: internationally best-selling author."
