A landmark photography collection featuring work exclusively by Indigenous American artists that tells stories of Indigenous history through the eyes of their own people and sheds new light on the understanding of Indigenous America. The history of photography-and the Americas-is incomplete without the critical work and perspectives of Indigenous American photographers. Since the 1800s, cameras have been in the hands of Indigenous people and they have incorporated photography into their lives as creators, patrons, and collectors.Five years ago, photographers Brian Adams and Sarah Stacke set off on a mission to assemble a groundbreaking, digital library of Indigenous photographers from the 19th century to the present. With In Light and Shadow: A Photographic History from Indigenous America, Adams and Stacke expand on that work, creating a one-of-a-kind collection of photographs that offers a first-hand look at the people, cultures, and evolving traditions of Indigenous America while providing a counterhistory to settler-colonial narratives.From Jennie Fields Ross Cobb, the earliest known Indigenous American woman photographer, to Arhuaco documentarian Amado Villafaña Chaparro, through Kapuleiikealoonalani Flores, a Native Hawaiian who was born in 2000, the photographers span many generations as well as multiple Indigenous societies and nations. Each entry includes a biographical sketch of the artist, carefully vetted for accuracy, along with their inspirations and contributions to the photographic medium. For several of the earlier photographers, this is their first publication outside of their local media.With profiles of 80 photographers and more than 250 photographs, this unique book brings to light the canon of Indigenous American photography that has been developing on its own terms for decades.

The Australian Elizabethan Theatre Trust - universally known as The Trust - was the foundation stone of the performing arts companies and training institutions now enriching Australian cultural life. Created in 1954 by banker, Dr H C (Nugget) Coombs, to nurture and develop the performing arts in a new Elizabethan Age, the young monarch agreed to be its patron. This unique organisation then spawned the independent ballet, opera and theatre companies, and their professional training schools, providing performance of the highest quality in each discipline. Author Brian Adams conducted extensive interviews with the key players who contributed to this cultural revolution and tells the exiting and often turbulent rise and fall of this iconic institution.

KABOOM!, an expertly crafted coming to age and activism novel, is Brian Adams' most recent foray into Young Adult Romantic Climate-Fiction. Cyndie and Ashley, two spunky and spirited teens from coal country West Virginia, become activists overnight when their beloved mountain is threatened by Big Coal. This novel tracks the girls' experience as they start their own club, Kids Against Blowing Off Our Mountaintops, explore the power of grassroots activism, and even as they both begin to fall in love for the first time. The lively interplay of character dialogue and humorous narration not only makes serious environmental concerns more accessible but also inspires teens to evoke positive change in the world around them.
