Featuring colorful beach umbrellas and dreamy blue horizons; this beautiful oversized book offers a breath of fresh air and evokes fantasies of Mediterranean travel. Photographer Christian Chaize returned many times over the course of eight years to shoot an intimate beach in the south of Portugal from the same vantage point. The resulting photographs provide an enchanting portrait of the tides; light; weather; and people that shape and reshape the landscape each day. A charming and thought-provoking meditation; Time and Tide will appeal to anyone who loves the beach or appreciates the miracle of close looking inherent in photography.

Review
3 of 4 people found the following review helpful. Thought-provokingBy S. TowerAnother thought-provoking book by Lucy Lippard; a most original thinker and art critic. She establishes a dialog between the appalling facts of land (ab)use in America and the way many artists have addressed those issues. Along the way the reader is taken from gravel pits in the mythologized Great American West all the way to the Ground Zero 9-11 memorial in New York City. It may seem like the "wild ride" of the title; but the author holds firmly your hand (and your mind) through it. Thoroughly enjoyable -- and youll learn a lot of new things as well.1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Nicely done!By An Artist from IdahoLucy Lippard is in touch with the universe and shares the relevant facts of life for this day and age. Activism is alive and well but of course its easy to see whos winning. Im blown away by how much territory Undermining covers; sweeping over the landscape we all know and love. Lippard articulates the web of connections that profoundly describe what nature has become; and how humans continue to plunder the future of the planet. The images that support the text are great; and she includes the facts that matter but they dont bog you down. Its an important document of now."Pessimism of the intellect and optimism of the will"-thats it in a nutshell. Of course; theres no giving up.2 of 3 people found the following review helpful.
