Book Synopsis On the Nature of Ecological Paradox by : Michael Charles Tobias
Download or read book On the Nature of Ecological Paradox written by Michael Charles Tobias and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2021-05-18 with total page 894 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is a large, powerfully illustrated interdisciplinary natural sciences volume, the first of its kind to examine the critically important nature of ecological paradox, through an abundance of lenses: the biological sciences, taxonomy, archaeology, geopolitical history, comparative ethics, literature, philosophy, the history of science, human geography, population ecology, epistemology, anthropology, demographics, and futurism. The ecological paradox suggests that the human biological–and from an insular perspective, successful–struggle to exist has come at the price of isolating H. sapiens from life-sustaining ecosystem services, and far too much of the biodiversity with which we find ourselves at crisis-level odds. It is a paradox dating back thousands of years, implicating millennia of human machinations that have been utterly ruinous to biological baselines. Those metrics are examined from numerous multidisciplinary approaches in this thoroughly original work, which aids readers, particularly natural history students, who aspire to grasp the far-reaching dimensions of the Anthropocene, as it affects every facet of human experience, past, present and future, and the rest of planetary sentience. With a Preface by Dr. Gerald Wayne Clough, former Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution and President Emeritus of the Georgia Institute of Technology. Foreword by Robert Gillespie, President of the non-profit, Population Communication.
Book Synopsis Basic Critical Theory for Photographers by : Ashley la Grange
Download or read book Basic Critical Theory for Photographers written by Ashley la Grange and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2013-08-06 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Basic Critical Theory for Photographers generates discussion, thought and practical assignments around key debates in photography. Ashley la Grange avoids the trap of an elitist and purely academic approach to critical theory, taking a dual theoretical and practical approach when considering the issues. Key critical theory texts (such as Sontag's 'On Photography' and Barthes' 'Camera Lucida') are clarified and shortened. La Grange avoids editorilising, letting the arguments develop as the writers had intended; it is the assignments which call into question each writer's approach and promote debate. This is the ideal book if you want to understand key debates in photography and have a ready-made structure within which to discuss and explore these fascinating issues. It is accessible to students, from high school to university level, but will also be of interest to the general reader and to those photographers whose training and work is concerned with the practical aspects of photography. Also includes invaluable glossary of terms and a substantial index that incorporates the classic texts, helping you to navigate your way through these un-indexed works. The book also contains useful information on photo-mechanical processes, explaining how a photograph can appear very differently, and as a result be interpreted in a range of ways, in a variety of books.

Book Synopsis The Contest of Meaning by : Richard Bolton
Download or read book The Contest of Meaning written by Richard Bolton and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 1992-02-25 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photography's great success gives the impression that the major questions that have haunted the medium are now resolved. On the contrary, the most important questions about photography are just beginning to be asked. These fourteen essays, with over 200 illustrations, critically examine prevailing beliefs about the medium and suggest new ways to explain the history of photography. They are organized around the questions: What are the social consequences of aesthetic practice? How does photography construct sexual difference? How is photography used to promote class and national interests? What are the politics of photographic truth? The Contest of Meaning summarizes the challenges to traditional photographic history that have developed in the last decade out of a consciously political critique of photographic production. Contributions by a wide range of important Americans critics reexamine the complex—and often contradictory—roles of photography within society. Douglas Crimp, Christopher Phillips, Benjamin Buchloh, and Abigail Solomon Godeau examine the gradually developed exclusivity of art photography and describe the politics of canon formation throughout modernism. Catherine Lord, Deborah Bright, Sally Stein, and Jan Zita Grover examine the ways in which the female is configured as a subject, and explain how sexual difference is constructed across various registers of photographic representation. Carol Squiers, Esther Parada, and Richard Bolton clarify the ways in which photography serves as a form of mass communication, demonstrating in particular how photographic production is affected by the interests of the powerful patrons of communications. The three concluding essays, by Rosalind Krauss, Martha Rosler, and Allan Sekula, critically examine the concept of photographic truth by exploring the intentions informing various uses of "objective" images within society.
Download or read book Spoken Image written by Clive Scott and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 1999-08-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language has always been central to the meaning and exploitation of photographic images. However, the various types and "styles" of language associated with different photographic genres have been largely overlooked. This book considers the nature of photography, examining the language used in titles, captions and commentaries, particularly as they relate to documentary photography, photojournalism and fashion photography. The Spoken Image addresses the question of how the photograph communicates its message, with or without the aid of language. The book looks at the work of film-makers such as Antonioni and Greenaway to contrast filmic methods of narration with those of photography. Scott concludes that photography has arrived at a level of communicative sophistication equal to that of modern textual narratives, in conjunction with which it often works.
Book Synopsis The Adventures of Mr Marigold by : Michael Charles Tobias
Download or read book The Adventures of Mr Marigold written by Michael Charles Tobias and published by Zorba Press. This book was released on 2016-02-25 with total page 828 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zorba Press has published the paperback and Kindle ebook editions of a modern classic, The Adventures of Mr Marigold, a novel by Michael Charles Tobias. Somewhere in New Mexico, a middle-aged hermit who has rarely left the confines of his dusty library or moth-eaten pajamas, is about to embark upon a fantastic odyssey, exactly 400 years after the first edition of Cervantes? Don Quixote.In this colossal tragicomic epic of 625,000 words, Michael Charles Tobias (via his idealistic hero Murillo Marigold and Marigold's terrestrial sidekick, Sannazaro) meditates on everything that matters: poetry, art, philosophy, alternative technologies, the ecological sciences, extinction, environmental ethics, human wrongs, animal rights, sustainable living, and utopia, past and future. And what style! Page upon page of inspired prose, evanescent poetics, incendiary ideals, polymathic puns and sobering truths, from a mind on fire that sees every moment and encounter as fodder for a grin, holy, and unique. The heart of the book is the author's deeply personal and sublime vision: the sacredness of all living beings, the reverence for life, the passionate commitment to social and environmental change. This enormous, challenging beatific masterwork reminds us who we are and points the way to a ?new nature?; to what the new world could one day be. ?The Adventures of Mr Marigold is a modern and perennial classic ? entertaining beyond all description, nourishing, revolutionary, and profoundly wise.
