The Changing Face of Portrait Photography From Daguerreotype to DigitalShannon Thomas Perich
A look at ten photographers whose work changed the way we define portraiture, including Dorothea Lange, Richard Avedon, and Robert Weingarten
TheChangingFaceofPortraitPhotographyexplores ten
groups of portraits selected from within the Smithsonian

pling take a focused look at changing convention, theory, and technologies.
Key Points/Quotes
• The Photographic History Collection at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History is the first
collection of photography at any U.S. museum. About 200,000 images represent the work of more than 4,000
photographers.
• Selected photographers represent a range from the well-known—Dorothea Lange and Richard Avedeon—to the
less-known but influential George K. Warren, who invented the concept of the yearbook.
• Perich’s previous title, TheKennedys, was a VanityFair cover feature.

Falling to EarthAn Apollo 15 Astronaut’s Journey to the MoonAl Worden with Francis French
The autobiography of Al Worden, Apollo 15 command module pilot and one of only twenty-four men to travel to the moon
As command module pilot for the Apollo 15 mission to the
moon, Al Worden flew on what is widely regarded as the great-
est exploration mission that humans have ever attempted. Nine
months after his return from the moon, Worden received a phone
call telling him he was fired. He refused to leave. What took him from being honored with parades and
meetings with world leaders to being unceremoniously fired has been a source of speculation for four
decades. Worden has never before told the full story around the dramatic events that shook NASA and
ended his spaceflight career. Readers will learn them here for the first time, along with the exhilarating
account of what it is like to journey to the moon and back.
Key Points/Quotes
• July 26–August 7, 2011 is the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 15 space flight.
• Only 24 people have journeyed to the moon, and very few have written books. Al Worden joins this elite group.
• Never before has Al Worden told his personal account of the stamp scandal surrounding Apollo 15.
• Astronauts have an intensely dedicated fan base that will be interested in reading Worden’s look back on his life
and career in NASA.
• “Al is both a pilot and a poet, and his honest portrayal of our exhilarating adventures will move and excite a
whole new generation.”—Buzz Aldrin, Gemini 12 and Apollo 11 astronaut, author of MagnificentDesolation.
Al Worden served as a support crew member for Apollo 9, backup command module pilot for Apollo 12, and
command module pilot for Apollo 15’s mission to the moon July 26–August 7, 1971. Francis French is director
of education for the San Diego Air & Space Museum.

The Jefferson Bible, Smithsonian EditionThe Life and Morals of Jesus of NazarethThomas Jefferson Introduction by Harry Rubenstein and Barbara Clark Smith
A lavish color reproduction of the one-of-a-kind book handcrafted by Thomas Jefferson
Sometime near 1820, after ongoing religious discussions with his
friends John Adams, Joseph Priesley, and Benjamin Rush, Thomas
Jefferson sat down with eight copies of the Bible—two each of English,
French, Latin, and Greek—and cut out the passages he most admired. He mixed verses from Matthew,
Mark, Luke, and John, and compiled his book in chronolgical order, eliminating references to miracles
and information he considered to have been added by the evangelists. The remarkably beautiful hand-
made book, long in the Smithsonian’s collections, is being conserved, and scans of those restored pages
make up this color facsimile reproduction in all languages and with Jefferson’s handwritten notes.
Key Points/Quotes
• The Jefferson Bible has never been reproduced in color in its original form containing four languages and Jef-
ferson’s handwritten notes.
• The real Jefferson Bible will capture America’s attention while on exhibit at the Smithsonian National Museum
of American History from November to Feburary. It will also travel to two to three select venues.
• TheJeffersonBible,SmithsonianEdition is a must-have for history buffs and collectors of Jefferson memborabilia
the world over.
Thomas Jefferson, third president of the United States, most wanted to be remembered as the author of the Declaration
of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for Religious Freedom, and father of the University of Virginia.
Harry Rubenstein and Barbara Clark Smith are curators in the Division of Politics and History at the Smithsonian’s
National Museum of American History.

T“[W]hen master storyteller Joy Hakim wields her pen, take heart:
you’re in for a breathtaking adventure.”—AmericanEducator
Book One: Aristotle Leads the Way Readers will meet the
world’s first astrono-
mers, mathematicians,
and physicists and
explore the lives and
ideas of such famous
people as Pythagoras,
Archimedes, Brahma-
gupta, al-Khwarizmi,
Fibonacci, Ptolemy, St. Augustine, and St.
Thomas Aquinas. Hakim will introduce them
to Aristotle, whose scientific ideas dominated
much of the world for eighteen centuries.

Book Two: Newton at the Center Students will watch as
Copernicus’s observa-
tions place the sun at
the center of our uni-
verse—to the dismay of
establishment thinkers.
After following the
achievements and frus-
trations of Galileo, Kepler, and Descartes, students
will appreciate Isaac Newton, whose discoveries
about gravity, motion, colors, calculus, and Earth’s
place in the universe set the stage for modern phys-
ics, astronomy, mathematics, and chemistry.

Book Three: Einstein Adds a New Dimension Students will look over
Albert Einstein’s shoul-
der as he and his col-
leagues develop a new
kind of physics. It leads
in two directions: to
knowledge of the vast
universe and its future
(insights build on Ein-
stein’s theories of relativity), and to an understand-
ing of the astonishingly small subatomic world
(the realm of quantum physics). Students will learn
why relativity and quantum theory revolutionized
our world and led to the most important ideas in
modern science, maybe of all time.

Praise for Joy Hakim’s The Story of Science: Aristotle Leads the Way
“ as a good—even great—teacher, hakim knows exactly where students
might stumble and is always there, making sure they don’t.”
– DIaNa LUtZ, NATURAL HISTORY
“ The Story of Science is richly informative and illustrated….hakim,
who is also the author of A History of Us, clearly appreciates science
and the matchless might of a reasoning mind.”
– NataLIe aNGIer, THE NEW YORK TIMES
“ this account of modern science’s dawn…presents a rare mix of visual
appeal, intellectual content, and lively personal voice that will propel
readers to the end and leave them impatient for more.”
–JohN PeterS, BOOKLIST (starred review)
“ the book displays the most appealing aspect of science and mathematics:
that advances result from a practical need solved by curious minds.”

J oY h a K I M isn’t quite sure why she started
writing for young readers. Mostly she was exasperated
with the books her three children brought home from
school. She was a newspaper writer and an editor
who had been a teacher, so it seemed to fit. (hakim
earned a bachelor’s degree at Smith College and a
master’s of education as well as an honorary doctorate
at Goucher College.)

SCIeNCe after the MIDDLe aGeS was in a
sorry state of affairs. Much knowledge was lost in the
aftermath of the collapse of the roman world. Much
of what was still known was incorrect—and even
worse, because most of that knowledge came from
the great Greek philosophers aristotle and Ptolemy—
few people were willing to admit that errors existed.
fortunately for us, a few brave souls such as Galileo
and Copernicus boldly challenged what everyone
assumed to be true, transforming science into a
dynamic field of systematic investigation and wonder-
ful new discoveries. In The Story of Science: Newton
at the Center, hakim reveals and explains the central
breakthroughs of four hundred years of math and
physics, including Newton’s insights into gravity, mo-
tion, and light, Dalton’s into gases, Volta and Maxwell’s
into electricity, and the Curies’s into radioactivity.
along the way readers will learn:
how Newton realized that the same force that pulls an apple to earth keeps the Moon in its orbit.
how Pascal proved that air has weight.
why no one but Mary Poppins can disregard
the second law of thermodynamics.
a science book unlike any other, Newton at the Center
pairs a gripping narrative style with quirky sidebars;
hundreds of charts, maps, and diagrams; experiments
to do at home; suggestions for further reading; and
excerpts from the writings of great scientists.
“ The Story of Science is written with a sharp wit
and gentle humor that will make readers not only under-
stand science but love it.”
– JULIaNa teXLeY, lead reviewer for NSta reCoMMeNDS,

A Guide to Smithsonian ArchitectureHeather Ewing and Amy Ballard
The buildings of the
Smithsonian Institution
not only contain impres-
sive collections; they are
themselves icons of great
cultural significance,
many of them part of
the historic National Mall. The Smithsonian's
unique buildings illustrate the changing styles
and sensibilities of America as an evolving na-
tion. Representing the work of major architects,
each building evokes a specific time in history:
the mid-19th-century turreted Castle, the sky-
reflecting mid-century modern Air and Space
Museum, and the golden, undulating, 21st-cen-
tury American Indian Museum.
