Great photographs change the way we see the world; The Ongoing Moment changes the way we look at both. With characteristic perversity – and trademark originality - The Ongoing Moment is Dyer's unique and idiosyncratic history of photography. Seeking to identify their signature styles Dyer looks at the ways that canonical figures such as Alfred Stieglitz, Paul Strand, Walker Evans, Kertesz, Dorothea Lange, Diane Arbus and William Eggleston have photographed the same scenes and objects (benches, hats, hands, roads). In doing so Dyer constructs a narrative in which those photographers – many of whom never met in their lives – constantly come into contact with each other. It is the most ambitious example to date of a form of writing that Dyer has made his own: the non-fiction work of art.

The motivation to write this book flowed naturally from the grace of the Nobel Peace Prize, a prize won the hard way by a quartet of organizations determined to unravel an untenable situation in an unbreathable atmosphere. Taking the form of an account of my personal journey leading up to the culmination of the Nobel Prize, the book rightly belongs to the genre of real biographies; nevertheless, it is at the same time a scrupulous testimony, namely mine, on events experienced first-hand during a crucial period of the political scene in Tunisia, where I was fated to play a frontstage role. So, dear reader, I faithfully offer you my narrative, which is intended to be unadorned and transparent. It reproduces events and situations as they really happened and also corrects a few (inevitable) highly exaggerated clichés, reproduced here and there in newspapers and other media. It is a witness account of an experience lived first-hand taken as I was by the irresistible swirl of the events of that period, along with and among the other actors of history. It represents the sum total of my personal journey up to that point in time where I also highlighted the significant milestones and vicissitudes in my life that had led to shaping my consciousness and helped me to form and grasp my “idea of engagement.”

Kenneth Oppel’s most haunting story yet . . . She was very blurry, not at all human looking. There were huge dark eyes, and a kind of mane made of light, and when she spoke, I couldn't see a mouth moving, but I felt her words, like a breeze against my face, and I understood her completely. "We've come because of the baby," she said. "We've come to help." In this beautiful, menacing novel, perfect for fans of Neil Gaiman’s Coraline, an anxious boy becomes convinced that angels will save his sick baby brother. But these are creatures of a very different kind, and their plan for the baby has a twist. Layer by layer, he unravels the truth about his new friends as the time remaining to save his brother ticks down. With evocative and disquieting illustrations by Caldecott Medal– and Governor General’s Award–winning artist Jon Klassen, The Nest is an unforgettable journey into one boy’s deepest insecurities and darkest fears.

Snapshots of the Mind is a collection of travel writing covering five decades and five continents. The pieces are not mere descriptions of lands and peoples but are evocative of the thoughts, emotions, and deductions that go with those strange and wonderful experiences that occur during travel. The writing shows more than the scenes that are susceptible to the camera's lens: It delves into the history, language, connections, and meanings of the experience. It is designed to persuade the reader to think and to travel.

In a literary tour de force, Charles L. Mee Jr. interweaves images and impressions from his life with political reflections inspired by a meeting with former Nixon aide H. R. Haldeman. The meeting—to discuss the possibility of collaborating with Haldeman on a book about his White House experience—becomes the vehicle for Mee’s probing of his own political perceptions. Here, exposed to the scrutiny of an unsparing journalistic eye, are the deep feelings of loss and failure that the Nixon debacle engendered in those Americans who came of age during Kennedy’s “Camelot” and marched to the anti-Vietnam anthems of the Johnson era. Mee writes with moving authenticity of his Midwest-Catholic boyhood and family roots reaching back to the Plymouth settlement; he vividly recounts the physical and psychological pain of a near-fatal battle with polio at age fourteen and his intellectual awakening during convalescence But the most pivotal reminiscences are of his student years at Harvard and his experiences aas an editor/writer/activist in the 1960s. There is wonderment and bewilderment in Mee’s telling of this time. Along with others of his generation, he asks: “What happened? Who were the real betrayers of the dream?”

A mother's journal, streaked with tears and bolstered by the laughter of her daughter's unfading memories, results in Mammie's Journal of My Childhood-a biographical history set in Indonesia in World War II. From the comforts of colonial Dutch East Indies, Jolly, her mother and brother are thrust into a Japanese internment camp where they spend the next four and a half years separated from Jolly's father, a prisoner of war working on the Burma Railroad. Whether shivering in cool breezes on Brastagi's mountainside or sweating in the moist heat of monsoon-soaked Sumatran jungles, Nettie puts her children first in a valiant race with death. Jolly's childhood is a journey in faith through the worst of times, relieved by episodes of humor and nurtured by heartfelt compassion. Mammie's Journal of My Childhood gives readers a peek through bamboo fences into the lives of devoted mothers seeking to raise their children with dignity, faith, and love.
