"Telling the stories of the Washington region" and providing a world of experience, The Washington Post MAGAZINE informs, entertains and provides new perspectives and approaches to better living on a weekly basis. Numbers are crunched, neighborhoods are highlighted and people are introduced. Standing columns provide continuity from week to week as feature articles add the elements of discovery, expanded horizons and critical thinking. Readers engage in both solitary and shared experiences. Scholastic journalists can be inspired to create photo essays, to interview individuals for the short Just Asking or for longer articles, or to research their neighborhoods for a Street Smart-inspired snapshot. The tech savvy could create a column about apps that would appeal to their school community. With some planning two to four special issues could be planned where the columns, feature articles and advertising revolve around a theme. At the heart of the Magazine are a collection of the people in the D.C. metropolitan area and human-interest stories. This issue has articles on the national missile defense system, five Washington DC area artists, and Jack Kilby and the tiny silicon chip. Missile defense is a system, weapon, or technology involved in the detection, tracking, interception, and destruction of attacking missiles. Originally conceived as a defense against nuclear-armed intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs), its application has broadened to include shorter-ranged non-nuclear tactical and theater missiles. The United States, Russia, China, India, Israel, and France have all developed such air defense systems. In the United States, missile defense was originally the responsibility of the U.S. Army. The U.S. Missile Defense Agency has developed maritime systems and command and control that will eventually be transferred to the Navy and Air Force for operation and sustainment. In the 1950s and 1960s, the term meant defense against strategic (usually nuclear-armed) missiles. The technology mostly centered around detecting offensive launch events and tracking inbound ballistic missiles, but with limited ability to actually defend against the missile. The Soviet Union achieved the first nonnuclear intercept of a ballistic missile warhead by a missile at the Sary Shagan antiballistic missile defense test range on 4 March 1961. In the early 1980s, technology had matured to consider space based missile defense options. Precision hit-to-kill systems more reliable than the early Nike Zeus were thought possible. With these improvements, the Reagan Administration promoted the Strategic Defense Initiative, an ambitious plan to provide a comprehensive defense against an all-out ICBM attack. Reagan established the Strategic Defense Initiative Organization (SDIO), which was later changed to the Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO). In 2002, BMDO's name was changed to its current title, the Missile Defense Agency (MDA). See National Missile Defense for additional details. In the early 1990s, missile defense expanded to include tactical missile defense, as seen in the first Gulf War. Although not designed from the outset to intercept tactical missiles, upgrades gave the Patriot system a limited missile defense capability. The effectiveness of the Patriot system in disabling or destroying incoming Scuds was the subject of Congressional hearings and reports in 1992. In the late 1990s, and early 2000s, the issue of defense against cruise missiles became more prominent with the new Bush Administration. In 2002, President George W. Bush withdrew the US from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, allowing further development and testing of ABMs under the Missile Defense Agency, and allowing for deployment of interceptor vehicles beyond the single site allowed under the treaty. Jack St. Clair Kilby (November 8, 1923 - June 20, 2005) was an American electrical engineer.

Published on the occasion of a traveling exhibition organized by the Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota. New in publisher's shrink wrap. From the publisher: "Published to accompany documentary photographer Paul Shambroom's extensive 2008-09 American traveling exhibition, Picturing Power is the first volume to bring together selections from all five of his most important--and highly acclaimed--series to date. In the late 1980s, Shambroom visited manufacturing sites and office spaces to capture the spaces where many Americans spend the majority of their days--from the grittiest industrial factory to the cleanest biotech lab to the smallest, emptiest office cubicle. His next series, Nuclear Weapons, begun in the early 1990s, gained him access to long-restricted nuclear sites, where he produced eerie images of slumbering bombs and immaculate, empty war rooms. For Meetings (1999-2003), Shambroom traveled to municipal meetings in small communities as far flung as Bernice, Louisiana and Baltic, South Dakota, to document public officials in a formal portrait style, calling up both the seriousness and banality of these gatherings. His most recent series, Security (2004-present), documents eerie scenes of security training at special facilities across the country. Past and future, reality and fiction, blur as each figure creates a picture of threat and resistance in our post-9/11 era. While diverse in subject matter, Shambroom's series all record and demystify secret and little-seen loci of power. His images are remarkable both for their stark portrayal of such places, and as evidence of his access to the sites. Negotiating this access in an open and democratic manner is a hallmark of Shambroom's practice.".

Hardcover. Condizione: Very good. Condizione sovraccoperta: Very good. Paul Shambroom (illustratore). First Printing [Stated]. Format is approximately 11.5 inches by 9.75 inches. xix, [1], 121, [3] pages. Illustrations [most in color]. Map. Introduction by Richard Rhodes. Selected Readings and Resources. Paul Shambroom (born 1956) is an American photographer and graduate from the Minneapolis College of Art and Design whose work explores power in its various forms. He is the recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship and a grant from the Creative Capital Foundation. Paul Shambroom is a photographer who explores American power and culture. For over twenty years he has documented subjects ranging from industrial and office environments, the U.S. nuclear arsenal, small town council meetings, and post-9/11 "Homeland Security" preparations. His recent work expands his practice beyond straight documentary practice, involving found images, text and performance. Paul's work is in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Museum of Modern Art (New York), the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Walker Art Center, and many others. His photographs were included in the 1997 Whitney Biennial and he has had solo exhibitions at many institutions including the Walker Art Center, the Museum of Contemporary Photography in Chicago, and galleries in NY, Chicago, San Francisco and London. His work has been published in four monographs: "Past Time: Troubled Visions of the Good Old Days" (2020), "Paul Shambroom: Picturing Power" (2008), "Meetings" (2004), and "Face to Face with the Bomb: Nuclear Reality After the Cold War" (2003). "Here in Paul Shambroom's remarkable photographs are the machines we have built at great expense to destroy millions of human lives. and the men and women whose professional duty it is to maintain them until we learn the deep lesson that the discovery of how to release nuclear energy revealed a natural limit to the scale of human conflict." -- from the Introduction by Richard Rhodes. Although the Cold War ended more than ten years ago, the nuclear dimensions of that conflict remain ever present. The United States alone maintains a nuclear force of over 10,000 warheads; the world's other nuclear powers may possess as many as 20,000 more. Further, the atomic aspirations of such states as Iraq and North Korea continue to spark international crises, while in the wake of September 11, the possibility that terrorists might obtain and use weapons of mass destruction has become frighteningly plausible. For most people, however, nuclear weapons -- whether viewed as a dangerous threat or an effective deterrent -- exist only in the abstract. In Face to Face with the Bomb, photographer Paul Shambroom documents the components of America's nuclear arsenal, and through his series of striking images which depict the devices and their day-to-day maintenance, he the makes clear the magnitude of the nuclear reality we have created. Taken between 1992 and 2001 at military bases in the United States and the South Pacific, these photographs offer an unprecedented inside look at the missiles, warheads, bombers, submarines, and command centers that make up the far-flung nuclear infrastructure of the United States. Shambroom's full-color prints depict both historic, Cold War--era weaponry shortly before it was mothballed and new warhead designs and missile defense prototypes that may be deployed well into the twenty-first century. Face to the Face with the Bomb also features an introductory essay by Pulitzer Prize--winning historian Richard Rhodes, who places Shambroom's photographs within the context of the arms race with the Soviet Union, and a prologue by Shambroom, in which he discusses his experiences visiting the country's top-secret nuclear installations. Visually arresting and chillingly matter-of-fact, this volume provides a lasting document of one of the most uncertain, dangerous periods in human history.

Hardcover. Condizione: New. Condizione sovraccoperta: New. 1st Edition. First edition, first printing. Signed in black ink on the title page by Shambroom. Hardcover. Cream-colored paper-covered boards, with title stamped in gilt on front cover and spine, with photographically illustrated dust jacket. Photographs and text by Paul Shambroom. 128 pp. total (88 pages comprise the primary section of the book including the color plates and 40 additional pages are bound in the rear of the book with the minutes to the meetings), with 40 four-color plates, some spanning a two-page spread, beautifully printed on heavy stock paper by EBS, Verona, Italy. 9-3/4 x 12-1/4 inches. [Cited in Martin Parr and Gerry Badger, The Photobook: A History, Volume II. (London and New York: Phaidon, 2006).]. New (opened only for signature). Shambroom utters the unutterable. Focused on the monotonous and excruciatingly slow wheels of local government, he manages to capture the tortuous minutiae of the decision-making process at its most humorous and painful. The meetings Shambroom attended, the roots of power he shows, seem somehow manufactured. They are pristine in some cases, harrowing in others, and because of the large-format camera and the reliance on some digital technical assistance, every detail is rendered in these makeshift-meeting places. Shambroom is a master of creating the "perfect" photograph at these meetings. to digitally replace the facial expression of one the meeting's members with another from another exposure, is perfectly natural and entirely "photographic." "Meetings" is a poignant reminder of the craziness of democracy, the drawn-out process of consensus, and the way we take ourselves, ultimately, with more seriousness than we probably should. From the publisher: "Paul Shambroom is a Minneapolis-based photo artist who, over a period of four years, attended hundreds of town council meetings across the United States. Photographing the participants with a large-format panoramic camera, as staged tableaux, his dramatic pictures resemble epic history paintings they describe the humble practice of local government on a grand scale. A celebration of small-town America, these accessible pictures have already been lauded by the critics ("Extraordinary" -the New York Times, "Powerful" -ArtForum, "Marvelous and beautiful"-Art Review) and collected by institutions such as the Whitney and MOMA New York. The minutes of each featured meeting are reproduced in full (runs over 40 pages at the back of the book and printed on Bible paper). About the Author: Paul Shambroom is an artist whose photographs have been exhibited in and collected by such major institutions as the Museum of Modern Art in New York, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Walker Art Center. His work has appeared in the New York Times Magazine, Time, and Newsweek, among other publications. He has received grants from the Creative Capital Foundation, the Bush Foundation, the Jerome Foundation, and the McKnight Foundation. He lives in Minneapolis." Signed by Author.
