BOOK REVIEWS Recently a number of books were published, both informa tive and entertaining, which incorporate important issues of life in Ukraine and the diaspora. These short book reviews are intended to highlight some of these publications and to inform our readers about their contents. HALYNA KUZYSZYN numerous photographs, capturing the beauty of nature and character of the people he met. N o s ta lg ia is a touching “coffee-table” collection of photography by someone who had a great appreciation for life and everything it had to offer. Nostalgia — editor Vasyl Pylypiuk Lviv, 58 pp., L ig h t a n d S h a d o w publishing, 1992. This incredibly moving collection of 100 photos taken by the late Oleksander Pezansky, is a historic reflection of life and a mirror into the souls of the peo ple he came into contact with. The title of the collection — N o s ta lg ia , perfectly describes the mood of the pho tos, a kind of daydreaming of many days gone. The pub lishing of Mr. Pezansky’s photographs is due to the efforts of the editorial board of the quarterly journal of Ukrainian photography, L ig h t a n d S h a d o w . The collection features photographs of his travels throughout western Europe, Ukraine, photos of family and friends. There is a foreword by Vasyl Pylypiuk, editor-in-chief of the journal L ig h t a n d S h a d o w , as well as a touching memoir of Oleksander Pezansky by his daughter, Daria Jarosewych. Born on November 2, 1892 in Lviv, Ukraine, he desired to someday become an architect. His interests also included playing the violin, painting, and of course, photography. In Lviv he established an architectural firm, and designed and built many buildings and chur ches in cities throughout Ukraine. He loved to travel (even though it was also a mandatory part of his profes sion), which enabled him to observe the lives people led in other parts of the world. From these trips came Ablaze — Piers Paul Read New York, 345 pp., Random House Inc., 1993. No one will ever forget the Chornobyl nuclear dis aster of April 26, 1986. At that time the Soviet govern ment made an effort to cover-up the explosion and the deadly emission of radiation. Renown author Piers Paul Read writes an eye-opening account of the cover-up, of the survivors and engineers, of many of those who were involved in the catastrophe of Reactor No. 4. With its many personal accounts and illustrations, A b la z e do cuments the explosion and its repercussions. This is the first account to take advantage of the declassification of nuclear information in the former Soviet Union. The author also gained access to the transcripts of the trial of the Chornobyl reactor operators, as well as the pro tocol of the previously secret Medical Commission, and other confidential reports.
