Afghanistan is one of the poorest countries in the world with the lowest longevity rate of only forty-four years. It has been devastated by thirty years of war and lacks good management of its vast resources. However, what people don’t know is that it is also home to many spectacular natural resources, rare geological landmarks, and extraordinary wildlife. Author Kenneth Michael Brophy invites you to view a different side of Afghanistan through A Photo Journal: Seldom Seen Sights: Afghanistan Edition. Afghanistan may presently be economically poor; but it is rich in culture, history, heritage, resources, creative and competent people, and natural beauty. A Photo Journal: Seldom Seen Sights is not about weapons, war, or violence. Instead, it offers a look into the other side of Afghanistan—the everyday world of its thirty-two million people—how the citizens live and work here, day in and day out. Having traveled to most of the thirty-four provinces in Afghanistan in the past few years, the author has built up a collection of what he believes are seldom-seen sights. Explore Afghans’ remote villages; its exceptional history, monuments, and national parks; its art and music; and fl ora and fauna. Afghanistan is not a vast place, but its ruggedness more than makes up for its small scale. Witness how Brophy captured the power, majesty, and beauty of its natural surroundings. His intriguing images depict the rare, the unusual, the unfortunate, the wonders of the world, simple but elegant rural lifestyles, and unique cultures. His candid photographs of people are real, believable and sometimes touching. The fact that these people are not models adds a depth of realism and vividly portrays human feelings of sorrow, hardship, pain, suffering, joy, and pleasure. Explore these seldom seen sights and appreciate the majestic and beautiful side of Afghanistan.

Intended for readers who would like to better understand the Arab-Israeli conflict, but who have neither the time nor the inclination to study several large volumes to do it, Storm: Set Adrift in a Land Called Holy was written to answer both the author’s questions and those that she had heard from others. It provides a historical background for the Holy Land, and a description of it as a place where people have lived and called home. It is written to give the reader a sense of the Palestinian perspective, as well as why the conflict continues to be so intense.
