"Robert Frank not only ranks among the most important of living photographers but is also widely recognized as a seminal figure in the development of experimental cinema. And yet, the continuity and consistency of his work in both photography and film has been barely explored. "Hold still-keep going" fills this obvious void by illustrating and analyzing the underlying aesthetics that have guided Frank's work in both media. From the very outset of his career, Frank distrusted the single photographic image and its claim to freeze moments of truth: time and again he gravitated to the moving image and serial photography, be it in book form or as a panel of photographs. Reproducing more than 100 collages, film stills and serial works, this volume will certainly become a new standard publication on Robert Frank, innovative photographer and experimental filmmaker. The book also contains an illustrated bibliography and biography featuring dozens of previously unpublished images of Robert Frank, his family and his friends. Published in conjunction with a major traveling exhibition, this is an essential addition to all photography and film collections."--BOOK JACKET.

Robert Frank
Mooney, Julie, & Ripley's Believe It or Not. (2005). Ripley's Believe It or Not! Encyclopedia of the Bizarre. Bt Bound.
Citation created by- Amber Thompson
Call Number- 031
Description- 496 pages, paperback, color pictures
Content Scope- Black Dog & Leventhal's bestselling Encyclopedia of the Bizarre is now available in a handier, more reasonably priced edition that retains every word and image of the original. From stupefying stunts to wacky world's records, all of Ripley's riveting findings are here, in an easy-to-browse, impossible-to-put-down color volume.
Accuracy/Authority- While Ripley's books usually contain odd information, they are still a reliable source for children to view.
Arrangement/Presentation- This colorful, magical and mind-expanding volume is an encyclopedia that only the people at Ripley's Believe It or Not! could dream up. Every page is brimming with information and eye-popping artwork, covering the extremes of every subject imaginable. Bizarre and amazing categories include Accidents and Disasters, Animals and Insects, Archaeology, Feats and Stunts, Prophecies, Records, the Unexplained, and more.
Relation to Similar Works- There are several versions of the Ripley's Believe It or Not books that kids and adults enjoy and find hard to put down!
Timeliness/Permanence- Encyclopedias are relevant for many years after they are published. They are great for past events and information, but anything that happened in the years after it was published will not be available through that encyclopedia. Encyclopedias are often updated, but editions for previous years will still be useful.
Cost- $17.95
Rationale for Selection- This would be a nice addition to the library collection because children love looking at the different topics that only a Ripley's Believe it or Not book would cover. This would be a great attention getter for students to browse the reference section!
