{"product_id":"hidden-alcatraz-steve-fritz-9780520260849","title":"Hidden Alcatraz: The Fortress Revealed","description":"Alcatraz--infamous for its legendary inmates--is much more than its grim history. \u003ci\u003eHidden Alcatraz\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the current state of the island fortress, presenting a unique collection of nearly one hundred images taken over a four-year period by thirty-four photographers, including Steve Fritz, Deborah Roundtree, Robert Dawson, Alex Fradkin, Thom Sempere, and Michael Venera. As participants in workshops on \"the Rock,\" hosted by the National Park Service and Photo Alliance of San Francisco, these photographers were granted unprecedented access, even staying overnight in the main cellblock. The resulting pictures present diverse visions of beauty in decay. They highlight the eerie, almost supernatural mood of the former prison, bringing texture to its historical artifacts and architecture, and evoking the extreme isolation and despair of inmates whose only remaining traces are suggestions of blood spatters and scratches on the walls. \u003ci\u003eHidden Alcatraz\u003c\/i\u003e includes a foreword by actor Peter Coyote, who was present during the 1971 occupation by members of the American Indian Movement, and an introduction by John Martini, one of the island's first park rangers and an expert on its history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steve Fritz\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520260848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520260849\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/25\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 120\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.05w x 0.42d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/02\/2011","brand":"Steve Fritz","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43980988678399,"sku":"9780520260849","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_49938bd4-af08-4eeb-8a44-4779a18cb78a.jpg?v=1683253053","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/hidden-alcatraz-steve-fritz-9780520260849","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
