Описание: This book uses art photography as a point of departure for learning about physics, while also using physics as a point of departure for asking fundamental questions about the nature of photography as an art. Although not a how-to manual, the topics center around hands-on applications, sometimes illustrated by photographic processes that are inexpensive and easily accessible to students (including a versatile new process developed by the author, and first described in print in this series). A central theme is the connection between the physical interaction of light and matter on the one hand, and the artistry of the photographic processes and their results on the other. This is the third volume in this three-part series that uses art photography as a point of departure for learning about physics, while also using physics as a point of departure for asking fundamental questions about the nature of photography as an art. It focuses on the physics and chemistry of photographic light-sensitive materials, as well as the human retina. It also considers the fundamental nature of digital photography and its relationship to the analog photography that preceded it.

Описание: What, if anything, does biological evolution tell us about the nature of religion, ethical values, or even the meaning and purpose of life? The Moral Meaning of Nature sheds new light on these enduring questions by examining the significance of an earlier--and unjustly neglected--discussion of Darwin in late nineteenth-century Germany. We start with Friedrich Nietzsche, whose writings staged one of the first confrontations with the Christian tradition using the resources of Darwinian thought. The lebensphilosophie, or "life-philosophy," that arose from his engagement with evolutionary ideas drew responses from other influential thinkers, including Franz Overbeck, Georg Simmel, and Heinrich Rickert. These critics all offered cogent challenges to Nietzsche's appropriation of the newly transforming biological sciences, his negotiation between science and religion, and his interpretation of the implications of Darwinian thought. They also each proposed alternative ways of making sense of Nietzsche's unique question concerning the meaning of biological evolution "for life." At the heart of the discussion were debates about the relation of facts and values, the place of divine purpose in the understanding of nonhuman and human agency, the concept of life, and the question of whether the sciences could offer resources to satisfy the human urge to discover sources of value in biological processes. The Moral Meaning of Nature focuses on the historical background of these questions, exposing the complex ways in which they recur in contemporary philosophical debate.
The first comprehensive look at menopause from prehistory to today
Are the ways we look at menopause all wrong? Historian Susan Mattern says yes, and The Slow Moon Climbs reveals just how wrong we have been. Taking readers from the rainforests of Paraguay to the streets of Tokyo, Mattern draws on historical, scientific, and cultural research to reveal how our perceptions of menopause developed from prehistory to today. For most of human history, people had no word for menopause and did not view it as a medical condition. Rather, in traditional foraging and agrarian societies, it was a transition to another important life stage. This book, then, introduces new ways of understanding life beyond fertility.
Mattern examines the fascinating "Grandmother Hypothesis"--which argues for the importance of elders in the rearing of future generations--as well as other evolutionary theories that have generated surprising insights about menopause and the place of older people in society. She looks at agricultural communities where households relied on postreproductive women for the family's survival. And she explores the emergence of menopause as a medical condition in the Western world. It was only around 1700 that people began to see menopause as a dangerous pathological disorder linked to upsetting symptoms that rendered women weak and vulnerable. Mattern argues that menopause was another syndrome, like hysterical suffocation or melancholia, that emerged or reemerged in early modern Europe in tandem with the rise of a professional medical class.
The Slow Moon Climbs casts menopause, at last, in the positive light it deserves--not only as an essential life stage, but also as a key factor in the history of human flourishing.

A major new history of the race between two geniuses to decipher ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, set against the backdrop of nineteenth-century Europe
In 1799, a French Army officer was rebuilding the defenses of a fort on the banks of the Nile when he discovered an ancient stele fragment bearing a decree inscribed in three different scripts. So begins one of the most familiar tales in Egyptology--that of the Rosetta Stone and the decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs. This book draws on fresh archival evidence to provide a major new account of how the English polymath Thomas Young and the French philologist Jean-Fran ois Champollion vied to be the first to solve the riddle of the Rosetta. Jed Buchwald and Diane Greco Josefowicz bring to life a bygone age of intellectual adventure. Much more than a decoding exercise centered on a single artifact, the race to decipher the Rosetta Stone reflected broader disputes about language, historical evidence, biblical truth, and the value of classical learning. Buchwald and Josefowicz paint compelling portraits of Young and Champollion, two gifted intellects with altogether different motivations. Young disdained Egyptian culture and saw Egyptian writing as a means to greater knowledge about Greco-Roman antiquity. Champollion, swept up in the political chaos of Restoration France and fiercely opposed to the scholars aligned with throne and altar, admired ancient Egypt and was prepared to upend conventional wisdom to solve the mystery of the hieroglyphs. Taking readers from the hushed lecture rooms of the Institut de France to the windswept monuments of the Valley of the Kings, The Riddle of the Rosetta reveals the untold story behind one of the nineteenth century's most thrilling discoveries.

Описание:
Love is the Meaning of Life: GOD's Love is the sixth book by Bryan Foster in the 'GOD Today' Series. This book uses a significantly different approach, from various other 'What is Love?' themed books available today. The previous five books in this Series were based on discovering GOD in today's world leading to our salvation with GOD after death. 21 Revelations from GOD to Bryan in 2016 and 2018 were explored and detailed for the reader in Books 1 to 5.
The themes and Revelations covered were revealed by GOD in the early morning around 3 am, while caravanning/trailers on the plains of Mt Warning, near Murwillumbah, NSW, Australia. These Revelations, along with other Inspired Messages from GOD, are considered and explored further in each of this Series' nine books. These include two to three photobooks, Books 2 and 4 at this stage. Books 6 and 7 are the two books exploring the meaning of life from one including GOD, to another predominately exploring a secular perspective but with a number of references to GOD, Love, salvation and forgiveness. The aim of Book 7 is to be hopefully encouraging the reader to consider GOD and GOD's place in our complicated and challenging world. Book 7 is a second edition of Book 6 with a different emphasis for the non-believers in GOD, or for those who are challenged by GOD's legitimacy, etc.
Book 4 is highly recommended and should be explored prior to reading books 6 and 7. This photobook contains many considerably unique and different photographic images from GOD. Many images include sun arrows moving to and across the author, a giant Easter sun cross starting very high and ending touching the Earth at Texas on the Qld/NSW border, rays shooting out from a small cloud positioned on top of the Mt Warning's peak, double rainbows, etc. in Where's God? Revelations Today Photobook Companion: GOD's Signs. This Book 4 is the author's favourite and one he believes will very much surprise or at least challenge those who explore it. Being so unique, it is believed most readers will find various images very interesting and in in fact loving in a certain way from GOD. Book 4 is the author's favourite book in the series, due to its unique and exciting images from GOD.
