Der britische Architekturfotograf Peter M. Cook (*1967), der sich vor allem der Architektur in Japan verschrieben, begann 1992 nach Tokio zu reisen, und ließ sich 1998 dort nieder. Edo, der alte Name Tokios, ist die Krönung seiner unermüdlichen Dokumentation der Stadt und ihrer Gebäude über 20 Jahre und gibt die architektonische Entwicklung Tokios wieder. In seinem ersten Fotobuch mit 100 Aufnahmen von Tokio zollt Peter M. Cook auch der Bildsprache von Hiroshiges 100 berühmten Ansichten von Edo Respekt. So taucht der Berg Fuji gespenstisch im Hintergrund auf und erscheint in seiner ikonischen Allgegenwart als eine Konstante der Natur, die im Gegensatz zu der urbanen Landschaft an seinem Fuß steht. Gleichzeitig erinnert Cooks abstrakte Ästhetik an den bahnbrechenden Stummfilm Metropolis von 1927, der gewissermaßen den Weg für die futuristische Stadt bereitete. Die Publikation enthält zudem ein Haiku des renommierten japanischen Architekten Kengo Kuma, dessen Gebäude Cook sich in einem neuen Projekt widmet.

Hailed by some as the Eighth Wonder of the World when it opened in 1883, the Brooklyn Bridge is one of the world's most recognizable and beloved icons. For over one hundred years it has excited and fascinated with stories of ingenuity and heroism, and it has been endorsed as a flawless symbol of municipal improvement and a prime emblem of American technological progress. Despite its impressive physical presence, however, Brooklyn's grand old bridge is much more than a testament of engineering and architectural achievement. As Richard Haw shows in this first of its kind cultural history, the Brooklyn Bridge owes as much to the imagination of the public as it does to the historical events and technical prowess that were integral to its construction. Bringing together more than sixty images of the bridge that, over the years, have graced postcards, magazine covers, and book jackets and appeared in advertisements, cartoons, films, and photographs, Haw traces the diverse and sometimes jarring ways in which this majestic structure has been received, adopted, and interpreted as an American idea. people have made of the Brooklyn Bridge - in film, music, literature, art, and politics - from its opening ceremonies to the blackout of 2003. Classic accounts from such writers and artists as H.G. Wells, Charles Reznikoff, Hart Crane, Lewis Mumford, Joseph Pennell, Walker Evans, and Georgia O'Keeffe, among many others, present the bridge as a deserted, purely aestheticized romantic ideal, while others, including Henry James, Joseph Stella, Yun Gee, Ernest Poole, Alfred Kazin, Paul Auster, and Don DeLillo, offer a counter-narrative as they question not only the role of the bridge in American society, but its function as a profoundly public, communal place. Also included are never-before-published photographs by William Gedney and a discussion of Alexis Rockman's provocative new mural Manifest Destiny. Drawing on hundreds of cultural artifacts, from the poignant, to the intellectual, to the downright quirky, The Brooklyn Bridge sheds new light on topics such as ethnic and foreign responses to America, nationalism, memory, parade culture, commemoration, popular culture, and post-9/11 America icons. today as it was technologically and physically astounding in the nineteenth century.
