"Drawing on over 40 years of practical experience, best-selling author and photographer Michael Freeman examines the most fundamental building-blocks of photography - light and shadow - bringing this key element of the picture-making process into the 21st century. In this book, Freeman takes a new and different view of photography's prime commodity, arguing that for the photographer, the rich and evocative world of shadows is the full equal of the actual light that casts them and bathes scenes. He defines the varied qualities of both light and shadows (of which there are at least ten distinct types), and shows how they have particular meaning and purpose. He also argues for integrating exposure and processing with an appreciation of light and shadow quality so as to have full and subtle control. Armed with this understanding and these techniques, the creative photographer can work with light and shadow to add depth and quality to imagery. All new content from the master of photography guides; Concise and easy-to-follow format clearly explains the fundamentals of light and shadow; For the first time ever, both light and shadow are given equal weight in the discussion of photographic image-making; Real-life examples, clearly illustrated, cut through the jargon and show the theory of light and shadow in practice"--Publisher's description

Guide to art and architecture of Angkor, extinct city, Cambodia.

The need to reflect, contemplate, and concentrate is an essential counterpoint to the rush of daily life and its surface details. This has been recognized since ancient times, and meditation in one form or another has been practiced through the centuries and across cultures, for reasons both sacred and mundane. In the modern world the motivations are more likely to be personal than religious, but the same dynamics apply in calming and focusing the mind. A prerequisite is the right physical space-somewhere to help set one's frame of mind and to hold back the distractions of the outside. Specifically for the purpose of meditation, the examples are from sources as varied and fascinating as contemporary Japanese tea-ceremony rooms, minimalist Western architecture, idiosyncratic chapels, artists' and writers' workspaces, and portable tented structures. The principles are all applicable to modern living, whether permanent or temporary, at home or in beautiful natural settings.With its crisp photography and inventive design, Meditative Spaces will appeal to a variety of readers, from architecture enthusiasts to those with an interest in Japanese style to anyone looking to find-and celebrate-serenity in today's hectic and rapidly paced world.

The chapter headings say it all...'Dogs & Cats', 'Bats', 'Eyes', 'Ears', 'Gums', 'Lips', 'Genitalia', 'Duck Beak', 'Poisonous Fish', 'Gold'...and many more. This is an interesting, pacy, informative, and yes, occasionally stomach-churning look at food from around the world. There's the odd recipe thrown in too, recipes that, strangely, Delia has never turned her hand to - 'Camel Hoof Paste' or 'Roasted Cockchafer Grubs in Coconut Milk' for instance...What the reader soon comes to realise however is that whilst one audience might find some of these dishes unpalatable and in some cases offensive, other readers might be equally offended at what you're eating - 'Black pudding, anyone?'. The conclusion therefore is that one man's steak and beer is another man's bull's bails pie and mango urine lassi.

Originally published in 1991. The post-war period witnessed massive changes in the nature and operation of the world economy. This "Atlas" examines those changes under the headings of population, agriculture, energy, industry, national income, transport, trade, labour and multinationals. Not an atlas in the conventional sense of the term, this work is a heavily illustrated combination of diagram and description. Its approach is broad and consists of a sequence of self-contained modules which can be read independently or as part of a wider whole. One of the most prominent themes to emerge is the enormous force and influence of the capitalist economic system based in the West; a host of economic indicators demonstrates vividly the remarkable producing and consuming power of the capitalist world. Many parts of the developing world are tied in to the web of capitalist relations, but many fail to benefit adequately, as the statistics on food supply and national income demonstrate.

For over fifty years, between around 1870 and 1914, there was a thriving trade that saw translucent block ice exported to Great Britain from the fjords and lakes of Norway. By 1899, the volume of ice landed in Britain had reached over half a million tons, with the port of London often accounting for 40-50 per cent of that total. The ice was needed for food preservation as Britain's increasingly urban and industrial population grew exponentially over the later nineteenth century and, over time, to satisfy Britons' taste for iced drinks and ice cream. For Norway, the trade yielded economic benefits across coastal communities of the south and south-east. In effect, ice production was a form of agriculture that gave rise to a regular labour force, multiple ice stores, and ingenious wooden chutes for moving ice blocks down to loading wharves. Ice Blocks from Norway: The Importation of Natural Ice to Britain, Circa 1870-1925 is a richly illustrated, definitive account of the history of this unique trade. The book will appeal to general, informed readers as well as academic specialists.

"Sudan: The Land and the People is the first illustrated book to depict the whole of the country. In text and images, this volume not only illuminates the difficulties confronting Sudanese but also highlights the enormous and often overlooked economic and human potential of the country." "In a trio of essays, authors Timothy Carney and Victoria Butler focus on Sudan's history, land, and people. The authors clearly recount the country's more recent past, putting Sudan's modern conflicts in historical context. A chapter on the physical landscape draws attention to the dominant influence of the Nile River on Sudanese peoples, culture, and economy. A final essay explores the rich blend of African and Arab peoples and cultures that give Sudanese society its great diversity as well as its turbulence." Bringing all of Sudan to life are the images of photographer Michael Freeman, who traveled the length and breadth of the country over a period of two years. His photographs illustrate a grand, vast geography from savannahs and swamps to rocky hills and desert. He visited all the major towns in every region and some villages that no Westerner had seen in decades.

Tato kniha o expozici bude pravděpodobně poněkud kontroverzní. A to hned z několika důvodů. Především se autor nespokojuje s jednoduchým omíláním starých pravd, ale pokouší se nabídnout svůj vlastní pohled na to, jak vyhodnotit fotografovanou scénu a jak volit expozici pro dosažení zamýšleného účinku. Neobává se kriticky vyjádřit k některým dlouhodobě osvědčeným postupům, které odpovídají „věku klasické filmové fotografie“, a uvádí svůj názor, jak je využívat dnes, v době digitální fotografie. Předkládá čtenáři na základě praxe vytvořený a upravený systém, který zobecňuje světelné situace, klasifikuje je a rozděluje do několika základních typů, a umožňuje tak řešit nastavení expozice u řady problémových scén.

Kompozice je to, co nemůžete nastavit na fotoaparátu; je ve vaší hlavě. Tato kniha se snaží vám ji tam dostat. Ediční řada Fotografie v praxi je určena zájemcům o digitální fotografii, ale využít ji mohou i ti, kteří pracují s klasickými filmovými fotoaparáty. Publikace se zaměřují na specifické problémy, které zajímají fotografy, a vyhýbají se opakování základních informací o fotografování a fungování fotoaparátů. Každá kniha se detailně věnuje určité oblasti, vhodné pro začínající až středně pokročilé fotografy. Kompozice, tedy uspořádání prvků na snímku, má svá pravidla, která se vyvíjela po tisíciletí a odrážejí to, co považujeme za příjemné a harmonické. Znalost těchto principů nestačí; je třeba také znát techniky, jak je realizovat. Od umístění hlavního objektu, využití linií, barev a světla až po práci s negativním prostorem a vyvážením snímku – vše je jasně vysvětleno a ilustrováno. Knihy obsahují cvičení pro čtenáře a ukázky, jak je splnili studenti autorových kurzů, včetně autorova hodnocení a poznámek k těmto fotografiím.
