"A photographic tribute to the World Trade Center towers, this book captures the lost icons of the New York City skyline as they were. Rising dramatically above all other skyscrapers at the tip of Manhattan, the World Trade Center came to symbolize New York City. From any direction the towers were lodestars, Manhattan's mountains. As New Yorkers and all Americans seek to heal the wounds of September 11, 2001, they have recalled how the World Trade Center looked from home or office windows, how it came into sight as they approached Manhattan by car, by plane, or from the water. The Trade Center was a compass point. As we mourn for the terrible loss of life, we also remember. For more than two decades, practically since the Twin Towers were erected, Sonja Bullaty and Angelo Lomeo have been photographing these awesome buildings. The pictures included here portray the World Trade Center from all directions, starting with views of the east at dawn and ending with evening views of the west. There are captivating panoramas from Brooklyn, Lower Manhattan, New Jersey, and Uptown, taken in all seasons, as well as a section showing the vibrant life in the grand plaza at the center of the buildings' complex. Together, they create an unforgettable portrait of the Twin Towers. Introducing this extraordinary collection of images, Paul Goldberger's text evokes the towers and the city they came to symbolize. He recalls how they evolved in the public mind, from targets of criticism to beloved American icons, and explains their architectural significance and visceral meaning to New Yorkers. The Publisher's Preface relates how the tragic events affected Abbeville Press, whose offices, at 22 Cortlandt Street, faced the World Trade Center. While Abbeville Press looks to the future, we also welcome this photographic memoir as it enables all of us - New Yorkers and visitors alike - to look back, see the towers once again, and remember." - excerpt from the extended (French style) inner front and rear softcover flaps.

"If you love Southern France, you'll love Provence. The perfect book for armchair traveling and wistful meditations." - Art Times. "One of Time magazine's outstanding gift books. With artistry, skill, humor, and a unique perspective, photographers Sonja Bullaty and Angelo Lomeo portray Provence as it has never before been seen in 150 extraordinary pictures. The Provence that captivates this photography team is not merely picturesque scenics and village life but wonderfully composed landscapes, details, and portraits that look like paintings. Following in the tradition of such artists as Matisse, Cezanne, and Van Gogh, Bullaty and Lomeo have regarded Provence as a grand canvas and created the incomparable collection of pictures that are included in this book. Here is a field of glowing sunflowers juxtaposed against a magneta sky; brilliantly colored rows of lavender stretching to the horizon; vernacular windows that look like abstract art; and haunting stonework; to mention a few of their photographic themes. For more than two decades Bullaty and Lomeo have devoted themselves to portraying the region's color, light, textures, forms, and very essence, and they have discovered views that most visitors and even local people overlook. Complementing the photographs is a spirited and informative commentary by Marie - Ange Guillaume, a gifted French author, who introduces the region by exploring why painters, writers, and other creative individuals have been attracted to Provence. Like Bullaty and Lomeo, whose Provence extends a bit outside the region's actual borders, other artists have discovered a thousand and one Provences. In the words of Colette, "Naturally you love Provence. But which Provence?" Ranging from rocky, solitary terrains to an exuberance of flowers to marvelous villages, Provence, to its devotees, seems to be enveloped in an excess of colors, climates, and passion. This unrivaled celebration of Provence is an inspired gift for travelers, photographers, and admirers of this endlessly fascinating region." - from the inner front jacket flap.
