More copies of this ISBN:Waterlilyby Ella Cara Deloria
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:This novel of the Dakota Sioux written by Sioux ethnologist Deloria takes protagonist Waterlily through the everyday and the extraordinary events of a Sioux woman's life. Book News Annotation:An English-language edition of the German book Wasserturme. The
translator had only introductory text to work; the book comprises 224
photographs by an internationally known pair of German industrial
landscape photographers. Their work is deliberately unglamorous,
departing from the usual style of architectural photography. The
Bechers' photos are widely collected in the US, but this is the first
time their work has been published here. Photographs were taken over
a period of 25 years. A reprint of the University of Nebraska Press
edition of 1988.
