While there he took pictures of gas stations, cars and children playing. Revealing the photographer's delight in the uncelebrated and the everyday, these four subjects appear repeatedly, from different distances and varying points of view. Later dry-mounted into a hand-made, spiral-bound album titled An Afternoon in Astoriain neatly printed letters, Burckhardt's photographic sequences take the viewer on a semi-narrative walk through a quiet, spread-out neighborhood, far away from everything.

Printed to capture the unassuming nature of the original album, with its careful, filmic sequencing of photographs mounted on neutral gray board, this volume celebrates a long-ago afternoon spent in the borough of Queens, the temporary new home of The Museum of Modern Art, New York.

'In the view of many observers, Dylan's career reached a low point wich such albums as Down in the Groove and Dylan & the Dead and his starring role in the unrewarding film Hearts of Fire. Now the long-awaited third volume in [the author's] acclaimed Performing Artist series, Bob Dylan - Mind Out of Time, portrays this difficult patch (Dylan later spoke of not being able to remember the meaning of his own songs as he sang them onstage in summer 1987) as a breakthrough moment that led to the extraordinary mature work of Dylan's life as a performer known as 'The Never Ending Tour,' and culminated in his rediscovery of himself as a songwriter and recording artist.' Illustrated. 384 pages.., Omnibus Press, 2004, University Press of New England, Lebanon: 2002. Softcover. Brand new book. An archeologist's lively illustrated portrayal of 18th-century America's most infamous siege and massacre. Fort William Henry, located at the south end of Lake George in New York, was the northern-most outpost of British soldiers in the interior of colonial America. This small frontier fort was extemely vulnerable to attack from French and Native American forces. In early August 1757, under the leadership of the Marquis de Montcalm, French forces attacked the fort, and forced a British surrender. Indians attacked retreating British troops on their way to nearby Fort Edward. This attack, known as the "massacre, " was both memorialized and distorted in James Fenimore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans. David R. Starbuck, drawing upon his archeological findings at the site of the fort, offers an engaging and sobering corrective to myths generated by popular depictions of this brutal conflict. Set against a visual backdrop of over 80 historical and contemporary views of the site and its artifacts, he interprets the remains of the tools and weapons of the Native Americans who first settled the region as well as subsequent French and British invaders. Like a modern-day forensic detective, Starbuck sets fact against fiction to expose what really happened prior to, during, and after this most infamous colonial battle. David Starbuck, author of The Great Warpath: British Military Sites from Albany to Crown Point (UPNE, 1999) and numerous articles on archaeological sites across New England, and co-author of A Shaker Family Album: Photographs from the Collection of Canterbury Shaker Village (UPNE, 1998), teaches archeology at Plymouth State College.
