If we remember them at all; the Sheffield pop group Pulp are remembered for jolly class warfare ditty Common People; for the celebrity of their interestingly-named frontman; for the latter waving his arse at Michael Jackson at the Brit awards; for being part of a non-movement called Britpop; and for disappearing almost without trace shortly after. They made a few good tunes; they did some funny videos; and while they might be National Treasures; theyre nothing serious. Are they? This book argues that they should be taken seriously mdash;very seriously indeed. Attempting to wrest Pulp away from the grim jingoistic spectacle of Britpop and the revivals-of-a-revival circuit; this book charts the very strange things that occur in their records; taking us deep into a strange exotic land; a land of acrylics; adultery; architecture; analogue synthesisers and burning class anger. This is book about pop music; but it is mainly a book about sex; the city and class via the 1990s finest British pop group.

I was looking for maternity photo posing ideas but this book just is not that kind of book. For the price I paid it is not worth returning though.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. The beauty of pregnancyBy Jan H PotgieterIn this excellent photographic essay of pregnancy the title of the book come to life. Visible Love! Every photo is complimented with a very appropriate caption. like this one for instance: The newborn is exactly that--A MIRACLE OF LIFES PERFECT CREATION. As a grandpa and photographer I both recommend this book to every lady who fall pregnant and want to discover the beauty of maternity. To the photographer I recommend it for good examples of artistic work. A standard is set that may be followed!2 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Love CapturedBy Keith P. CapsutoI had never heard of this book before. but while looking through the photography section it really caught my eye. I do professional photography. but have never done any of the "Motherhood" photos. Browsing through the book on line it looked very interesting so I figured what do I have to loose.When I received the book and briefly looked through it. I felt the mixer emotion of the love and life of the pre-born but who husbands and soon to be siblings are so captivated with pregnancy. The old saying that their is a "glow" to a pregnant woman absolutely reveals itself in this book.The photographs are outstanding. and make you want to keep staring at each photo over and over again. Not only is this book educational as a photographer. but I would recommend it to parents who want to share the soon to be big moment with their other children.
