(WEBER, BRUCE). Weber, Bruce, Nan Bush.. New York: Little Bear Press, I00231206. 2025. First Edition. 12 x 9 1/2", 4to. 1/4 Linen Over Illustrated Wrappers. Photography Monograph. New./No Jacket - As Issued. Np, profusely illustrated in color and b&w. “As a welcome counterpoint to the anxious state of our world, the theme of healing unites the stories in this, the final edition of Bruce Weber’s “All-American” series. Catherine Fairweather offers a personal essay about her life with the acclaimed war photographer Don McCullin, whose unflinching images open the volume. The extraordinary story of a renowned surgeon and his patient over time - and how their narratives intersect with Bruce’s own - highlights compassion and serendipity in equal measure. The life pursuits of three exceptional athletes: mountaineer Cory Richards, cyclist Richard Lima and jiu-jitsu champion Rickson Gracie, exemplify the interconnection of physical and mental well-being. The truly uncommon life of the Israeli-Ukrainian artist Zoya Cherkassky - and the artwork it inspires - is illuminated through a candid interview from her Long Island studio. Photographer and editor Natalia Ortega documents a teen-led pallbearer ministry dedicated to the needy of Cleveland, Ohio. And Bruce Weber shares two photo tributes of deep personal significance: one to his friend, the revered conservationist Jane Goodall, and the other to Dennis and Nancy Deveaugh, owners of a ranch that has inspired him for decades as a favorite location for editorial and portrait sittings”. A brand new example still in the publisher’s shrinkwrap. 979-8218859268 Inventory Number: I00251217
