Renowned American photographer Jack Watson travelled to Cuba on a legal humanitarian visa. He chronicled his journey with breath-taking & often heart breaking images of the Cuba people cites & countryside. Watson describes his visit: I had stepped back in time 50 years
- this was my first impression of Cuba. My journey which began in Havana consisted of travelling by bus pedicab coco cab 1957 Chevy & foot. I was here primarily to help the Cuban people but giving away medicine vitamins & money felt like using aspirin to treat the plague. I covered hundreds of miles travelling in an oval-shaped route with stops at Cienfuegos the Bay of Pigs Trinidad & Varadero Beach in the province of Matanzas
- & then back to Havana. As the title of this book indicates this is an unauthorised journal of photographs taken during my visit. While I certainly share similar & compassionate thoughts about humanitarian aid toward people in need I felt a greater calling in compiling the images for this book. If one picture is indeed worth thousands of words then this is an encyclopaedic portrayal of the real
- hidden
- Cuba. This is not a travel guide; I will leave that for the tourism industry. It is however a behind-the-scenes look at the Cuba that tourist never see. I have tried to present a wide portrayal of images that will allow the viewer to see all aspects of Castros Cuba. You cannot look at the glitz alone & make logical conclusions about this country; while there is some beauty there is more decay. While the country is admittedly a communist enclave when looking at these images one has to ask if this form of government was the right choice for the Cuban people. You be the judge
- the story is in your hands.

Can we imagine a world without flowers? Flowers are beautiful offering us delight in their colour fragrance & form as well as their medicinal benefits. Flowers also speak to us in the language of the plant form itself as cultural symbols in different societies & at the highest levels of inspiration. In this beautiful & original book renowned thinker & geometrist Keith Critchlow has chosen to focus on an aspect of flowers that has received perhaps the least attention. This is the flower as teacher of symmetry & geometry (the eternal verities as Plato called them). In this sense he says flowers can be treated as sources of remembering -- a way of recalling our own wholeness as well as awakening our inner power of recognition & consciousness. What is evident in the geometry of the face of a flower can remind us of the geometry that underlies all existence. Working from his own flower photographs & with every geometric pattern h&-drawn the author reviews the role of flowers within the perspective of our relationship with the natural world. His illuminating study is an attempt to re-engage the human spirit in its intimate relation with all nature. ...
