              Book Description

              From 1845 to 1862, the Boston partnership of Albert Sands Southworth and Josiah Johnson Hawes maintained the most celebrated photography studio in the United States. Taking as their subjects both the greatest personalities of the day and the natural spectacles of the American landscape, such as Niagara Falls, Southworth & Hawes elevated the new medium of daguerreotype photography to the level of art. Transcending the mere recording of factual detail, their daguerreotypes reflect a quintessentially American aesthetic and embody an emerging national culture and spirit. Young America will be the most significant publication to date on Southworth & Hawes, featuring full-scale color reproductions of all plates in the exhibition as well as 2,000 additional black-and-white illustrations. It will include a critical analysis of the historical and cultural importance of the work of Southworth & Hawes, with original texts by Brian Wallis, ICP Director of Exhibitions and Chief Curator, and Grant Romer, Director of the advanced program in Photography Conservation at George Eastman House, among other scholars. Appendices will include a chronology, an annotated bibliography, an exploration of the daguerreotype process, brief biographies of the sitters, and a Southworth & Hawes family genealogy, making the catalogue an invaluable resource for researchers as well as general readers. The book will include an annotated bibliography, exhibition checklist, and chronology.

              5 out of 5 stars Early American history and culture captured in daguerrotypes.......2006-03-13

              From 1845 to 1862 Albert Sands Southworth and Josiah Johnson Hawes maintained a famous photography studio, using the most famous personalities of their times as subjects and also capturing on film some of the most notable of events and places. Their focus was fine art photography rather than simple portraiture, and their daguerreotypes thus captured more than factual images alone, adding touches which captured historic and cultural elements. YOUNG AMERICA accompanies an exhibition of the same name and packs in over a hundred color reproductions plus nearly 2,000 black and white illustrations. Editor Grant Romer is Director of the Advanced Program in Photography Conservation at George Eastman House, and Brian Wallis is Director of Exhibitions and Chief Curator at the International Center of Photography: together these scholars create not just a catalog, but a historical survey of the daguerreotype process and Southworth and Hawes' influences on photographic achievement as a whole. The wealth of images packed into the book alone would make it a highly recommended pick; the focus on daguerreotype history and Southworth and Hawes' lasting achievements make it essential for any serious art collection.

              5 out of 5 stars An Important Resource for Southworth & Hawes Research.......2005-09-08

              I first received this catalogue from Amazon, and thoroughly enjoyed it, then went soon after to see the exhibit at ICP in New York. The book reproduces the magnificent images beautifully, and was an interesting and illuminating adjunct to the exhibit itself. It is an amazingly comprehensive catalogue of the output of this studio, and it was as interesting to see the smaller, little-known images as it was to see the more familiar, gorgeous whole-plate portraits and scenes we have seen for years. A must-have for anyone who loves American daguerreotypes.

                Book Description

                Now available in paperback, America and the Daguerreotype brings together 200 previously unpublished images (28 in full color) as it examines the earliest photographic process and its effect on the way we view ourselves. For this collection, John Wood selected active images of ordinary Americans living and working: at weddings, river baptisms, band concerts, and political meetings, on farms and in factories.

                In the eight essays that accompany the images, leading art, photographic, and social historians provide diverse and perceptive readings of the role that the daguerreotype played in shaping America's self-image. Editor John Wood addresses the American portrait, David Stannard writes on sex and death in the daguerreotype, Peter Palmquist reviews the role of daguerreotypes in the settlement of the American West, John Stilgoe discusses landscape and daguerreotypes, Dolores Kilgo offers an alternative aesthetic to daguerreotypes, John Graf focuses on the militia as a social institution depicted visually in nineteenth-century America, Brooks Johnson deals with daguerreian images of Americans at work, and Jeanne Verhulst reveals how modern-day artists have revived the daguerreotype.

                        5 out of 5 stars Precious Keeping.......2002-10-23

                        The intimacy of an image in a closed victorian case greatly contrasts with the brash public advertisement craved by photograph subjects and holders of our age. Here shown is an incredible variety of design and cultural symbols that warmed the victorian heart and provided a notable prelude to disclosure of a person much-loved by the case's holder. The preface is well documented study of the origins of the theromoplastic photograph case. The body of the work is a quite comprehensive monochrome catalog of cases organized by size and design. The sheer variety of the invention shown is dizzying. This is a carefully prepared work and should continue for some time as a standard for those collecting and exploring the thermoplastic (Union) case.

                        5 out of 5 stars Fabulous book for any Union Case collector.......1999-11-17

                        This is a fabulous book for any Union Case collector. Very well written and a ton of good material. Photographs are outstanding as well. The authors certainly did their research in preparing such a fantastic book.

Howlin' Wolf.Chuck Berry.Etta James.Bo Diddley.The greatest artists who sang the blues made their mark with Leonard and Phil Chess, whose Chess Records was synonymous with the sound that swept up from the south, embraced Chicago and spread out into mid-century America.SPINNING BLUES INTO GOLD is the impeccably researched story of the men behind the music and the remarkable company they created.Chess Records-and later Checkers, Argo and Cadet-was built by Polish immigrant Jews, brothers who saw the blues as a unique business opportunity.From their first ventures, a liquor store and then a nightclub, they promoted live entertainment.And parlayed that into the first pressings sold out of car trunks on long junkets through the midsection of the country, ultimately expanding their empire to include influential radio stations.The story of the Chess brothers is a very American story of commerce in the service of culture.Long on chutzpah, Leonard and Phil went far beyond their childhoods as the sons of a scrap-metal dealer. They changed what America listened to; the artists they promoted planted the seeds of rock 'n' roll and are still influencing music today.The story of the Chess brothers and the music they made captures the rich and volatile mix of race, Jews and music.Cohodas takes us deep into the world of independent record producers, sometimes abrasive and always aggressive men striving to succeed. Leonard and Phil worked hand-in-glove with disenfranchised black artists, the intermittent charges of exploitation balanced by the reality of a common purpose that brought them fame.From beginning to end, the lives of the Chesses were entwined with those of the artists socially, financially and creatively. From SPINNING BLUES INTO GOLD:Leonard and Phil made little distinction between office and home.Family was business and vice versa.So it was not surprising that Marshall's bar mitzvah on April 17, 1955, became something more than a traditional worship service.A centuries old ritual combined with present day business, the event became an RB convention, Hebrew chants mixed in with blues.Ahmet Ertegun and Jerry Wexler from Atlantic Records and disc jockey Alan Freed and his wife came from New York.Randy Woods of Randy's Record shop and Dot Records came from Gallatin, Tennessee; disc jockey Zenas Sears came from Atlanta, WLAC's Gene Nobles came from Nashville, Record presser Buster Williams and his wife came from Memphis, and so did a host of Chicago area music makers including prominent black disk jockeys Sam Evans, Al Benson and McKie Fitzhugh, and some of the Chess musicians.It was one of the few times blacks came to a worship service at Agudath Achem, the family's synagogue.AUTHORBIO: Nadine Cohodas is the author of Strom Thurmond and the Politics of Southern Change and The Band Played Dixie: Race and Liberal Conscience at Ole Miss.

                                        4 out of 5 stars Highly readable Chess story.......2007-01-09

                                        I bought Spinning Blues into Gold because I'm interested in the Chess record company and its musical releases. The story is mostly accurate and very entertaining. The text is readable and shows Cohodas to be a good writer. Probably the best book on the subject so far. It does not tell everything you perhaps want to know but then what book could tell the whole story in just a bit over 300 pages? Wholeheartedly recommended.

                                        4 out of 5 stars Kings of the blues, Chicago style.......2005-03-03

                                        This is the story of the Chess brothers and their record company located in Chicago. Phil and Leonard Chess were a couple of Jewish immigrants who wanted to make money and saw a way to do so through the recording of black music (mostly blues, r&b, r&r, soul--some jazz) in the windy city. The Chess roster was impressive and featured the best of the post-WW II blues singers (Muddy Waters, Jimmy Rogers, Howling Wolf, Little Walter, just to name a few). Leonard was a tough cookie willing to help his uneducated, living-on-the-edge stable of artists--help, but no charity. The company was sold in the late 60s and soon after collapsed. I had the good fortune to speak with Nadine Cohadas about this book (and the book she wrote about Dinah Washington), and she was dedicated to getting the facts right and tracking down every lead. She was fascinated by her subject, and I think she conveys that well in the book. Scholarly, but not stuffy.

                                        3 out of 5 stars Read on, blues fans.......2001-02-19

                                        My recommendation to serious fans is to buy and read < >, then go on to other sources that greatly add color and substance to Ms. Cohodas' rather spare narrative. By all means check out < > by Mike Rowe, < > by Willie Dixon, and < > by Jerry Wexler.

                                        The key contributions of the Cohodas book are 1) its fresh emphasis on the marketing and production aspects of the Chess operation, and 2) its attempt to debunk some widely accepted derogatory tales about Leonard Chess. For example, she has several sources to refute Keith Richards' famous story about Muddy Waters painting the ceiling. Thought-provoking stuff.

                                        5 out of 5 stars A truly great book!.......2000-12-09

                                        I grew up in Chicago and am JUST old enough to recall going to the South Side when there was still an operative Chess Records. My awareness of Chess has changed my life profoundly. This book details the rise and fall of Chess in great detail, and is truly a page turner. I have decided to read it slowly -- a chapter a night -- as to best savor it. For a second generation American native with Eastern European Jewish ancestors, and knowing all the Chicago and suburban spots (from taverns to deli's) referred to here, this is more than the story of the most important label in blues and rock history. Even though my father was quite different than Leonard Chess, it's the story of my people in the new land -- Jewish immigrants working together with African-American immigrants from the South in a new place for all...creating something that changed the world for the better.

                                        1 out of 5 stars Blues Snooze.......2000-10-26

                                        I've probably read three dozen books on blues music and artists and can honestly say this was one of the most tedious. The author is clearly proud of her access to the Chess family, but there's little else in this book that makes it worth buying. Her analysis of the music itself is perhaps the weakest part of her text. Was she even familiar with the Chess catalog before working on this thing? Having read about the author's past career, I'd say she should stick to covering ("yawn") congressional committee hearings and leave the story of blues music to someone familiar with it.

                                            Apparently, the authors don't know anything about genetic:even basic theory of Genetic scinece, I wonder how they can write such a book on socilal management??? sure, this book is garbage, no doubt...full of unrealities..... Maybe because genetic engineer is so popular in present, many people want to touch it, but at least those people should have some basic knowledge.....too bad, such a bad book....., do not waste time on it....

                                                  From the supplier: Agricultural methods in the 20th century have not been sustainable. One example that proves this theory is that as incomes increase, people improve the quality of the food they eat and this burdens the farmers. However, with biotechnology and information technology, sustainability could be achieved.
