The explosive growth in photography book publishing has presented photo-eye with an interesting challenge along with what we think is an exciting opportunity.
How can we continue to offer an ever-increasing inventory of photography books, keep those books continuously in stock and compete with the online deep discounters on price and shipping? The answer is that we can shift much our fullfillment to the web's most efficient book operation, Amazon.com.
Now we are happy to offer you Amazon's discounts on books which are almost always in stock from either Amazon directly or Amazon Marketplace. We can also provide you with the same shipping options that Amazon provides, including on qualified orders, free shipping.
It's important to understand that you will still be supporting photo-eye if you order from Amazon or Amazon Marketplace through photoeye.com. We make it easy for you to do this by providing a dual shopping cart system with separate checkouts.
However, you may still opt to purchase a particular title from photo-eye directly even though the same book is available through Amazon at a less expensive price.
Book publishing is not a perfect industry. Though all books are imperfect in some subtle way, we want to be as accurate as possible on our website if we know that there is a problem with a particular book. Imperfections range from a rubbed dustjacket, a small tear in the dustjacket, or a corner of the book being bumped. No fundamental flaw should be part of an imperfect book's condition. E-mail us our call 505.988.5152 should you have questions prior to ordering a particular imperfect book.

You will not be charged until your order ships.
An additional change will be added to the standard handling charge for this item as it is a foreign publication and shipping expenses from foreign countries is extremely expensive or it requires a larger, more expensive box or it requires extra care in handling. Thank you for understanding!
Bhopal Second Disaster is a fruit of the FotoEvidence Book Award. The annual Book Award is given to a photographer whose work demonstrates courage and commitment in documenting social injustice and violations of human rights. FotoEvidence is a platform for social documentary photographers whose work focuses on human rights and social justice. The award is made possible through the generosity of individual supporters of FotoEvidence.
Bhopal Second Disaster, by Alex Masi, provides a portrait of people living in the shadow of one of the worst industrial accidents ever to occur: a gas leak at a Union Carbide pesticide factory in Bhopal, India in 1984.
Though the official death toll following the accident was reported as approximately 4,000 people with more than 200,000 affected by the leak. Independent research places the number of dead somewhere over 20,000. One study found 17,000 shrouds for burying the dead sold in the area in the two weeks following the accident. Another study interviewed a truck driver who reported spending a week following the accident transporting truckloads of unattended bodies to a mass burial site. The true number of dead and injured will never be known but the consequences for the living are still being felt.
Almost 30 years later, approximately 30,000 people live in settlements in the area surrounding the abandoned plant and find themselves and their children suffering from severe neurological disorders produced by years of chemical contamination of the areas soil and water.
Bhopal Second Disaster offers a disturbing and tender portrait of these communities, the terrible toll the pollution is taking on them and their struggle for justice and assistance. It reminds the viewer of the long term consequences of industrial pollution and the difficulty that victims of pollution face when seeking justice.
