Gerry Badger, in a listing of 250 key photographers, refers to Jock Sturges as the leading photographer of the "natural" nude (p. 170, Collecting Photography, Mitchell Beazley). This is fine, as far as it goes, but is too limited an introduction to Mr. Sturges's work. Mr. Sturges's photography is not limited to nudes. Neither can his subject matter be properly described as the nude or the ...             Portraits of Guilt88 reviews Jeanne Boylan Pocket Star, 2001 Excellent book about trauma and memory I've read a lot of good books about healing from trauma and the effects trauma has upon memory.

Mann Sierra Club Books, 1995 Great gift idea and great conversation piece! I saw this book on a living room table at a party years ago.
