(WEBER, BRUCE). Weber, Bruce, Nan Bush, Nathaniel Kilcer & Kelly Fagan, Editors. New York: Little Bear Press, 2008. First Edition 1/5000. 4to. 1/4 Linen Over Wrappers. Photography Monograph. As New.. np (180pp), 100 duotone and 71 color illustrations. Creative Director - Nathaniel Kilcer. This is the eighth, lavishly produced Bruce Weber "All-American" limited edition - "Nature's Way". "It explores the parallels between traditional perceptions of the natural world - as the realm of both the sublime and the forbidding - and the tensions that exist within our conceptualization of human nature. This lofty theme is illustrated through the works and observations of an eclectic cast of characters in what has become the signature form of the All-American series. The journal features chapters devoted to Oatsie Charles, the notable Washington D.C. hostess and Newport socialite; Pr. Henry W. Kendall, a Nobel Prize-winning physicist and accomplished alpine photographer; and the journalist David Halberstam, author of "The Best and The Brightest". There is a portfolio of all new Bruce Weber rodeo photographs; a fantastic profile on "The Ledges", the Cushing family estate; selected writings by the conservationist Bob Marshall; a gorgeous spread celebrating the artistry and style of Nina Simone; selected poems by Pulitzer Prize-winner Stephen Dunn; travel photographs by Rob Born; and a personal tribute to Rabbi Zevulon Glixman, a leader known throughout the world for his good deeds and religious devotion". As with all of Bruce Weber's books, the quality of the design, paper and printing is impeccable. Not unlike the previous books, there will be only one printing of this title. A brand new, pristine example of the first edition of five thousand unnumbered copies still in the publisher's shrinkwrap. 0-9787124-3-9 Inventory Number: 020006
