"Perduti luoghi ritrovati" raccoglie le foto che Roberta Giuffrida ha fatto a Poggioreale, borgo del trapanese abbandonato dopo il terremoto del Belìce. Con le fotografie di questo libro Roberta Giuffrida ha vinto il primo premio del concorso "Un luogo per ZeroBook" nel 2019, presieduto da Armando Rotoletti. Il concorso annuale promuove la fotografia di luoghi e aspetti del paesaggio umano abbandonati e su cui si punta l'obiettivo per una maggiore attenzione e cura, e per un recupero nella memoria collettiva. "Cosa state vedendo? Davanti a voi sono i reperti drammatici di un terremoto (1968) che ha sradicato uomini, animali, case; un destino di morte che la nostra fotografa interpella sprigionando con la sua visione nuove ragioni di vita. Ma davanti a noi sono, anche, costruzioni distrutte da eventi naturali senz'altro catastrofici che sono divenuti segni del ricordo, capaci di narrarci di un tempo passato sul quale non vogliamo che scendi l'oblio" (dalla Presentazione di Pippo Pappalardo).***"Lost places, found again" collects the photos that Roberta Giuffrida shot in Poggioreale, an ancient village in Trapani abandoned after the Belìce earthquake. Roberta Giuffrida won the Photo Contest "Un luogo per ZeroBook" in 2019, chaired by Armando Rotoletti. That Photo Contest promotes lost human places that need more attention and care, and a recovery in collective memory."What do you see? Look at the tragic ruins of the earthquake (1968) which uprooted men, animals, houses. Through her vision the photographer challenges this destiny of death releasing new reasons for life. These buildings, destroyed by catastrophic natural events, have also become symbols of remembrance - preventing this past event from oblivion" (From Introduction by Pippo Pappalardo)

Ann Arbor has seen many cherished landmarks and institutions come and go - some fondly remembered and others lost to time.<BR>When the city was little more than a village in the wilderness, its first school stood on the now busy corner of Main and Ann. Stores like Bach & Abel's and Dean & Co. served local needs as the village grew into a small town. As the town became a thriving city, Drake's and Maude's fed generations of hungry diners, and Fiegel's clothed father and son alike. Residents passed their time seeing movies at the Majestic or watching parades go down Main Street. Join authors Patti F. Smith and Britain Woodman on a tour of the city's past.

Captures 150 years of transformation in this scenic, historic, and culturally rich region of Western Massachusetts.Southern Berkshire County in Western Massachusetts is a magical place. Some call it "paradise," while others quietly claim it to be the center of the universe. The special synergy that exists here between people and place has inspired remarkable residents for centuries. Towns nestled among the majestic hills and scenic valleys are beautiful, fascinating, and filled with history. Much has changed here over the past 150 years--the period covered photographically in this book. The classic beauty of the Southern Berkshires has drawn photographers since the camera was first invented. Vibrant villages have evolved over the decades, even as the surrounding scenery remains breathtaking. Once thriving textile mills have been replaced by innovative tech enterprises. The important paper industry has struggled but survived here. Year round recreational and educational opportunities have blossomed. Once bustling boomtowns have grown quieter, but now nurture entrepreneurial inventiveness and a magnificent menagerie of historic homes, prosperous farms, and top-notch cultural venues. The images and interesting narrative inside this book offer a rare glimpse of the Southern Berkshires through time. By looking at the whole picture, the connections between our past and present will become apparent.

Movie Theaters of Washington, DC charts the storied history of motion picture exhibition in the nation's capital. In 1894, entertainment venues were repurposed to show newfangled moving images and continued to do so through the downtown heyday of such 1920s baroque movie palaces as the 3,400-seat Fox. In the late 20th century, shoebox theaters dotted the nearby suburbs. In a landscape that has transformed over the decades, majestic landmarks, such as the Uptown, which opened in 1936, remain and are still going strong, and theaters like the Warner survived the dark days of downtown's commercial decline to be repurposed as thriving stage venues. While certain favorites have fallen to the wrecking ball, the Washington area has seen, along with a rejuvenated downtown, a vibrant movie scene for both mainstream blockbusters and art house fare with the Regal Gallery Place multiplex and more new theaters to come.

The stories of some of the residents are gathered here for you to enjoy.

One of the most historically significant places at the Grand Canyon, yet one of the least known, is the Grand Canyon Pioneer Cemetery. Very few national parks have an active burial ground, but the pioneers who rest here represent all walks of life throughout the canyon's history. Pioneer Cemetery is the final resting place for miners, businessmen, park superintendents, rangers, mule wranglers, and even some local characters. Legendary residents of the Grand Canyon, including John Hance, Pete Berry, Ralph Cameron, William Wallace Bass, and the Kolb brothers are also buried onsite, secluded in a beautiful grove of pine trees. It is an area of the Grand Canyon that is seldom written about or discussed.
