I had gotten that far in my writing when Richard Avedons photo collection "nothing personalldquo;; which I had previously asked a friend to procure; was delivered to my door. I immediately opened it and as I flipped through the pages; I felt as if the faraway sea breeze of the lzu coast was blowing in my face. Yes; for Takuma Nakahira and I (an amateur photographer at the time); this photo collection was a book from our youth. We carried the huge volume to the seashore; and while slowly turning its pages under the brilliant sun; shared countless feelings and talked tirelessly about photography. A pleasant sea breeze in our faces; we talked forever about our photography dreams.Now that this photo collection has crossed several decades and returned to me at last; my mood has become a bit brighter. With this; I think Ill be dreaming about photography for a while now. -DAIDO MORIYAMADaidÅ Moriyama (Moriyama DaidÅ; born October 10; 1938) is a Japanese photographer noted for his images depicting the breakdown of traditional values in post-war Japan.Born in Ikeda; Osaka; DaidÅ Moriyama studied photography under Takeji Iwamiya before moving to Tokyo in 1961 to work as an assistant to Eikoh Hosoe.

9 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Indian EncyclopediaBy Brian D. FerreroThis book outlines every single North American tribe and the extreme difficulties Indians faced due to their removals. One by one Perdue details the most important issues that plagued North American Tribes emphasizing the horrific Federal disregard for treaties and broken promises that still hinder recognition to this day. From the arrival of Soto; through the formation of the Five Civilized Tribes; Perdue gives a brief but solid account of tribal resilience; spiritual practice and cultural history. From the Northeast clear out to the West; tribes barely eeked out an existence following the steamroll effect that Manifest Destiny provided; laying the foundations for U.S. Government Indian extermination. The book is an eye opener; and leaves the reader in quite a shock as there is not much good news embedded within these pages. Its a reality check and an overview of the numerous roadblocks the Federal government has bestowed on every single Indian tribe that ever roamed North America.4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Great introductionBy HistoryGradThis book is a great introduction to American Indians. It gives a great chronology of the legal battles between the US government and different nations and tribes. Though it covers a great deal of information and is extremely condensed do not expect to see the individual histories or beliefs of each tribe; especially tribes from the northeast that are only discussed in brevity or completely left out. Over all; this is a great book to get better insight into the history of Native Americans.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Lots of info packed in a little bindingBy Tim HarlanThis book covers a breadth of information that is astounding considering its size. If the other books in this series are as good Id recommend those as well.
