In Istanbul: City of a Hundred Names, Magnum photographer Alex Webb displays his particular ability to distill gesture, color and contrasting cultural tensions into a single, beguiling frame. He presents a vision of Istanbul as an urban cultural center, rich with the incandescence of its past--a city of minarets and pigeons rising to the heavens during the early-morning call to Muslim prayers--yet also a city riddled with ATM machines and clothed in designer jeans. Webb began photographing Istanbul in 1998, and became instantly enthralled: by the people, the layers of culture and history, the richness of street life. But what particularly drew him in was a sense of Istanbul as a border city, lying between Europe and Asia. "For 30-some years as a photographer, I have been intrigued by borders, places where cultures come together, sometimes easily, sometimes roughly." The resulting body of work, some of Webb's strongest to date, conveys the frisson of a culture in transition, yet firmly rooted in a complex history. With essay by the Nobel Prize winning novelist, Orhan Pamuk.

1. 作者自述——“胶片时代的上海”，这是陆元敏首次应邀写出自己的摄影心情: 我一直幻想一台眨一下眼就能拍摄的相机，LOMO相机在大多数情况下不用取景就可拍摄。它像是眼睛的延伸物，和眼睛有着一根看不见的连线，用它常常能拍到预想中的、甚至比预想得更好的影像......我又是一个有着反复拍摄热忱的人，生活安逸、身体健康，有很多的闲暇时间，只是不断流逝的时间使我心慌。当一个摄影家用相机抓住时光，拍取瞬间，带入暗房，巫术般地在微光下再现瞬间时，摄影术的整个过程都充满了神奇，只要享受它便会其乐无穷。 ...... 2. 作品——101幅，是陆元敏第一次使用Lomo相机，也是最后一次使用黑白胶片拍摄的作品 (拍摄于2005-2007年间) 3. 问与答——在网上征集到的11位豆友同陆元敏的38个对谈记录，涉及城市，生活和摄影: 您主要的拍摄对象是上海人，您觉得这些年来，上海人有什么大的变化？ 您对自己的照片有过失望和觉得苦闷的时候么？您是怎么越过这个阶段的？ 如何有一双慧眼，可能与每个人对生活的敏感程度不同有关，但是有啥适用大众的方法可以借鉴吗？ 怎样才能保持影像的活力？ 想知道您对喜爱街头摄影的年轻人有些什么可以说的？ ......

"Metropolis Berlin: 1880-1940" reconstitutes the built environment of Berlin during the period of its classical modernity using over two hundred contemporary texts, virtually all of which are published in English translation for the first time. They are from the pens of those who created Berlin as one of the world's great cities and those who observed this process: architects, city planners, sociologists, political theorists, historians, cultural critics, novelists, essayists, and journalists. Divided into nineteen sections, each prefaced by an introductory essay, the account unfolds chronologically, with the particular structural concerns of the moment addressed in sequence - be they department stores in 1900, housing in the 1920s, or parade grounds in 1940. "Metropolis Berlin: 1880-1940" not only details the construction of Berlin, but explores homes and workplaces, public spaces, circulation, commerce, and leisure in the German metropolis as seen through the eyes of all social classes, from the humblest inhabitants of the city slums, to the great visionaries of the modern city, and the demented dictator resolved to remodel Berlin as Germania.

對很多台灣人來說，澳門是一個似乎很熟悉、但其實很陌生的地方。「港澳」這概念指的常是香港；在「中港台」及「兩岸三地」這些稱呼中，澳門更是隱形的。但其實，除了賭場、大三巴與葡國蛋塔之外，澳門還有其他值得瞭解之處。尤其是近年遊澳門的台灣遊客持續增長，而台灣也有人力倡開賭場，也許這就是台灣人了解澳門的時機。了解究竟澳門有什麼獨特之處？跟大陸、台灣、香港有什麼不同？ 此書會從澳門長期不被看見的「隱形狀態」談起。作者身為土生澳門人，累積了過去十年對澳門的觀察與思考，全書分為四章。第一章「大三巴背後的故事」談歷史與文化，除了簡述澳門的特殊歷史以外，也從建築、城市結構、葡國菜，以及港澳的微妙關係去討論澳門的混雜文化；第二章「三千萬遊客的一夜情」談開放賭業市場之後的巨變，從二○一六年天鴿颱風曝露的問題、政府派錢的措施、旅遊業的過度發展、城市空間的變異，談到階級社會的浮現；第三章「遲來了數百年的初戀」談身份認同，討論「我愛澳門」這論述的出現，以及本土身份如何在建立在懷舊情緒及排外心態之上；第四章「自己的故事自己說」談本土創作，分析電影、繪畫及戲劇這三種作品如何反映了過去十多年澳門人對城市問題的思考、對本土身份的探索。
