Melvin Sokolsky (1933-2022) was an American photographer and film director.

Though he was best known for his editorial fashion photographs for publications such as Harper's Bazaar (for which he produced, in 1963, the "Bubble" series of photographs depicting fashion models "floating" in giant clear plastic bubbles suspended in midair above the River Seine in Paris)

At the age of twenty-one, photographer Melvin Sokolsky joined the prestigious staff of Harper's Bazaar, whose art department was then led by legendary art director Henry Wolf.

Sokolsky's unique take on fashion was quite different from fellow photographers like Hiro, Irving Penn, and Richard Avedon.

His work took the mundane and transformed it into the marvelous, in a style that today seems ethereal and otherworldly.

Women in bubbles floating across the Seine or flying uncontrollably through the air, rooms constructed as to appear upside down, household objects magnified to colossal proportions-these are all elements of the bizarre universe of Sokolsky's memorable fashion photographs.

Covering the years 1959-1971, these images have a distinctly 60's "look," but they also point to the work of current photography stars like David LaChapelle and Bruce Weber.

Among the fashion and screen personalities included are Mia Farrow, Ali McGraw, Twiggy, Jean Shrimpton, Dustin Hoffman, Chet Baker, Lena Horne, Natalie Wood, Shere Hite, Lisa Fonssagrives-Penn, Suzie Parker, Julie Christie, Lee Remick, and numerous others.

This book, bound in simulated pink fine grain leather, is the first retrospective of Sokolsky's fashion photography, and represents another major rediscovery of one of America's finest image-makers.

This is a must-read for all those who are seeking answers.
Format: Paperback
If you can read only one of Robert Monroe's 3 books ("Journeys Out of the Body," "Far Journeys" and "Ultimate Journey"), "Ultimate Journey" is the one to read. Monroe's books chronicle his amazing learning experiences as his ability to travel out of the body develops and his capability to remember and to put these odysseys into words increases. Without laboring over material covered in the first two books, Monroe sums up his earlier adventures and then writes about his most recent and significant discoveries on this, his spiritual journey to understanding. If you have ever wondered if there is a God, why the Bible says that God is Love and in another place, shows God to be a vengeful being who orders the killing of many people, "Ultimate Journey" and the lessons taught to Monroe in his out-of-body state will help to clear up these questions. To say that "Ultimate Journey" will give you a whole new perspective on life, death and what lies beyond is an understatement. This is a must-read for those who are seeking answers! And, if at all possible, read all 3 books in order. "Far Journeys" is definately the most difficult to read, since much of it reflects Monroe's efforts to translate non-verbal communications from non-humans into English. But the information in that book is voluminous and well worth the effort to read it. Happy reading, fellow seekers!

YOU can actually LEARN to do this!
Format: Paperback
"Eavesdropping on Animals” by George Bumann really was a welcome break for me as I spend so much time outside in Nature. George is also amazing at being able to read Nature in a way I had never seen before. His insight via really listening & paying attention to everything around him, is so precise - he can literally know where animals are without seeing them. I got this book mainly because HE wrote it & I knew it would be interesting. The thing that surprised me was he actually teaches you how to do what he does (ie: know exactly where a wolf pack is traveling by hearing a certain coyote call & knowing the terrain). I started simply by really paying attention to all of the bird songs going on outside my window very early each morning & could finally hear ones that were repetitively there & was able to figure out what they meant by getting outside & sitting on my patio as I drank my tea. If you LOVE NATURE, you would so get into this book. It’s a great teaching guide, plus his stories are so cool! Entertaining & informative to read.

Will forever change your experiences in nature!
Format: Hardcover
I am an instructor in animal language in the wildlife ecology department at two leading universities and I can attest that George is an expert animal whisperer/linguist. I've had the pleasure of knowing him and hearing his stories, and this book is an outstanding gateway into understanding the behavior of animals. It will reveal a whole new world to you every time you step outside, whether you live in an urban area or next to a wilderness.
