5 COVERTURE BOOKS. PHOTOGRAPHY. Harold EDGERTON (1903–1990). *Seeing the Unseen*. Steidl, 2019. Co-published with the MIT Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts; black-and-white and color photographs. Harold Edgerton was an engineer, an educator, an explorer, an entrepreneur, and a revolutionary photographer—in the words of his former student and Life photographer Gjon Mili, “an American original.” Edgerton’s photographs combine exceptional engineering talent with aesthetic sensibility, and this book presents more than 100 of his most exemplary works. “Seeing the Unseen” features iconic photographs—from the beloved milk droplets and bullets slicing through fruit and playing cards to lesser-known but equally fascinating images of sea creatures and athletes in action. Paired with excerpts from Edgerton’s lab notebooks, the book reveals the full range of his technical virtuosity and his enthusiasm for the natural and human worlds. Essays by Edgerton’s students and collaborators, J. Kim Vandiver and Gus Kayafas explore his approach to photography, engineering, and education, while MIT curators Gary Van Zante and Deborah Douglas examine his significance in the history of photography, technology, and modern culture. – Ansel ADAMS (1902–1984). *The Grand Canyon and the Southwest*.
