Описание: The original, instant classic which set the world afire. The first book to introduce the phenomenon that is the life story and work of Vivian Maier.
A good street photographer must be possessed of many talents: an eye for detail, light, and composition; impeccable timing; a populist or humanitarian outlook; and a tireless ability to constantly shoot, shoot, shoot, shoot and never miss a moment. It is hard enough to find these qualities in trained photographers with the benefit of schooling and mentors and a community of fellow artists and aficionados supporting and rewarding their efforts. It is incredibly rare to find it in someone with no formal training and no network of peers. Yet Vivian Maier is all of these things, a professional nanny, who from the 1950s until the 1990s took over 100,000 photographs worldwide--from France to New York City to Chicago and dozens of other countries--and yet showed the results to no one. The photos are amazing both for the breadth of the work and for the high quality of the humorous, moving, beautiful, and raw images of all facets of city life in America's post-war golden age. It wasn't until local historian John Maloof purchased a box of Maier's negatives from a Chicago auction house and began collecting and championing her marvelous work just a few years ago that any of it saw the light of day. Presented here for the first time in print, Vivian Maier: Street Photographer collects the best of her incredible, unseen body of work. Please note that all blank pages in the book were chosen as part of the design by the publisher.

Описание: Bridging the Gap. This book provides a fascinating, well-researched, and thorough discussionof the connections between science and spirituality, including religion. It is eye-opening and allows readers to truly redefine how they look at these disciplines while providing, at the same time, a vibrant perspective for those embarking on such an exercise for the first time. Science investigates the physical world, where space, time, and matter comprise the main aspects of its empirical approach, that is, of physically proving all that there is around us. Spirituality goes beyond the physical. Here, physical quantities become non-existent

Описание: From 1907 to 1931 at Tendaguru, a remote site in present-day Tanzania, teams of German (and later British) paleontologists unearthed 220 tons of fossils, including the bones of a new dinosaur, one of the largest then known. For decades the mounted skeleton of this giant, Brachiosaurus, was the largest skeleton of a land animal on exhibit in the world. The dinosaur and other animal fossils found at Tendaguru form one of the cornerstones of our understanding of life in the Mesozoic era. Visited sporadically during the '30s and '40s, Tendaguru again became the site of scientific interest late in the 20th century. African Dinosaurs Unearthed tells the story of driven scientific adventurers working under difficult conditions and often paying the price with their health—and sometimes with their lives. Set against the background of a troubled century, the book reveals how scientific endeavors were carried on through war and political turmoil, and continue into the present day.

«The Disney Corporation has recently found itself embroiled in the so-called ‘Don’t Say Gay’ legislation debates in Florida. Disney, as both filmmaker and global conglomerate, remains a powerful force in representations of diversity in American culture. The essays in Neo-Disneyism include examinations of films such as Return to Neverland, Luca, and Encanto, and Disney’s own reinterpretations of its classics in its live-action remakes, as well as examining the theme parks. This groundbreaking book offers new perspectives in Disney scholarship as well as bringing a critical eye to the most pressing issues of identity in our current time.»
(Professor Johnson Cheu, Michigan State University)
«This collection is a needed reassessment of Disney media adaptations in the last twenty years. The essays consider examples of inclusivity and the gaps needing transformation, underscoring the potential for an iconic American symbol of commercial success to advance social justice, gender equity, and racial/ethnic inclusivity, encouraging difficult conversations.»
(Professor Pushpa Parekh, Spelman College)
In 2003 Brenda Ayres published The Emperor’s Old Groove: Decolonizing Disney’s Magic Kingdom with Peter Lang. The contributors to its collection of essays arguedthat although the Disney Company had been making attempts to representmulticultural diversity, it persisted in inculcating insidious racial, cultural, andgender stereotypes. Nearly twenty years have passed since that analysis, andcurrent scholars—many of them young and non-Western—are assessingmore recent Disney films and finding them to be more inclusive, tolerant, andaffirmative than previous works from the magic kingdom. The appraisal of Disney entertainment in the twenty-first century is the focus of the thirteen chapters by scholarly contributors from around the globe, finding it to be more inclusive, tolerant, and affirmative of multiple cultures, ethnicities, nationalities, and gender as well as the differently abled and mentally challenged. The analysis also suggests what Disney might yet do to promote peace, harmony, and wellbeing in a world that desperately needs to learn how to get along with others.
