The cowboy remains one of America's enduring myths. Representing freedom, strength, and individuality, set against the backdrop of the etched red earth and the shifting, dust-smudged horizon, the cowboy has come to be a dying breed. The twentieth century has thrown up new, seemingly insurmountable obstacles: environmentalists, technology, and economic pressures. The cowboy of the Wild West, so well depicted in Hollywood movies and pop culture, has been forced to adapt his life to cope with the inevitable advances of a new millennium. Jon Nicholson has uncovered a side of America that is immediately familiar, yet made more poignant by the knowledge that it is undergoing inexorable change. The dramatic and striking images in this book show a way of life on the verge of disappearing. With more than 250 black and white, and color photos, this lavish volume will be treasured for years to come.

Seller's Description:
Very Good in Very Good jacket. Size: 11x1x9; The definitive visual chronicle of an American icon traces the powerful image of the cowboy throughout the last century and follows him into the next. With a career spanning 40 years and many continents, Jon Nicholson's relentless passion for capturing the real story is the driving force behind his photography. From behind the F1 barriers to documenting global issues, Jon's view from behind the lens manages to capture a depth of human emotion or level of detail that many of us would fail to see. He has an incredible ability to find beauty in even the harshest of circumstances, creating pictures that communicate respect, empathy and a deep connection to his subjects. There is no pretense, no judgement and no desire to shock, only to provoke thought, share knowledge and evoke passion.
