African-American Faces Of The Civil War
"Looking At Trees, a forthcoming book compiled with an introduction by artist Sophie Howarth, encourages us to reconnect with our natural surroundings. Images by more than two dozen contemporary photographers, including Beth Moon, Marc Alcock, and Myoung Ho Lee,
explore a range of different species, ecosystems, and landscapes. From
enigmatic plantations to lofty dwellings, the volume explores the
diverse ways in which the woody plants are an important part of our
daily lives, even if sometimes we have to remember to notice them." -- From Kate Mothes for Colossal.

Although not strictly a photography book, I saw this on Annie Liebovitz's coffee table in an article about her apartment:
This fresh and carefully researched study brings O’Keeffe’s style to life, illuminating how this beloved American artist purposefully proclaimed her modernity in the way she dressed and posed for photographers, from Alfred Stieglitz to Bruce Weber. This beautiful book accompanies the first museum exhibition to bring together photographs, clothes, and art to explore O’Keeffe’s unified modernist aesthetic.

One should not neglect this book. It is worthy of a read. This is not just a book on fashion, or home decorating, or art, or an artist’s biography. It is more of an intertwining of all of these human pursuits wrapped up in the example of one woman who managed to change the way people approach their personal aesthetics by doggedly insisting on being herself.
