Book Description
The advent of photography-the making of images on light-sensitive materials-was heralded in 1839 with the debut of the daguerreotype. Over the next 50 years, the medium underwent radical changes, with the successive introduction of the calotype, the collodion print, and the tintype, and the increasing use of photography for portraiture and travel views. This fascinating study of the first half-century of photography covers not only its scientific developments but also its establishment as a documentary tool and, eventually, its critical acceptance as an art form.

New Media, 1740-1915 (Media in Transition)
ASIN: 0618445331 |
Book Description
Illustrated with black-and-white archival prints, drawings, and photographs From the simple camera obscura of the 1500s to the 17th century's giant magic lanterns to the early films of Thomas Edison and the Lumire brothers in the late 1800s, here is an intriguing story of invention and showmanship. Many of the techniques adopted by Hollywood were worked out by tinkerers, lanternists, and magicians in front of shocked and amazed audiences long before the first flickering black-and-white film was ever shown. This fascinating book explains how today's moviesas well as photographs, special effects, and animationcame to be. Peppered with first-hand accounts and newspaper reports, excerpts from the notes of early inventors and filmmakers, and descriptions and diagrams of detailed optical gadgets, Before Hollywood provides a window into the world of entertainment before movies were invented. It offers an illustrated tour of the beginnings of technologies that we take for granted today. Sidebars, afterword, timeline, endnotes, bibliography, Internet resources, and index.

Book Description
The research collected in this new issue seeks to identify which aspects of family literacy environments promote children's emerging literacy and which experiences in the home facilitate the development of children's literacy skills. This issue presents an innovative model of emergent literacy in which written language, at all levels of specificity, is at the center of the construct of emergent literacy. In addition, studies presented in this issue highlight the association between child and family literacy across age and socioeconomic background. These studies demonstrate the specificity of associations between family literacy environments and young children's emerging literacy skills, showing that the particular type of literacy interaction influences the particular literacy skill being developed.
This is the 92nd issue of the Jossey-Bass series New Directions for Child and Adolescent Development.

Book Description
Two and a half billion people are affected directly on a day to day basis by the allocation and use of primary local resources. Yet `official' development economics has concentrated on headline international issues and only recently begun to take account of the dependence of poor countries on their natural resources, the link between acute poverty and environmental degradation, and the problems associated with the management of local common property such as soil and soil cover, water, forests and their products, animals and fisheries. In these volumes, which are part of the WIDER programme on the Economics for the Environment, expert contributors provide a set of authoritative studies of emerging development issues, ranging from foundational matters to case studies, original research (in areas where there has been a paucity of work) to survey papers. They address both analytic and empirical issues on the role of environmental resources in the development process, presenting explanations of existing situations and policies for the future. A wealth of interests and backgrounds is represented, and reflected in the cross-fertilization between papers.

Book Description
Attempting to explain increased income inequality and decreased productivity growth, this book considers distribution not just in terms of income but also in terms of education and health care: two long-term determinants of income. Reviewing partial explanations, it notes the conflict between claims of rapid technological change and decreased productivity growth and shows the limited impact of policies affecting income redistribution. Although education and health care have become more equally distributed, the work notes, higher educational attainment has had a minimal effect on occupational distribution, and with improved access to medical care, the disparity between the health of the poor and the rest of the population has not decreased. In conclusion, the work notes that attitudes toward income inequality differ from attitudes toward inequality in education and health care. Attitudes toward income inequalty accept a floor but no ceiling; whereas equal access to education, qualified by ability, and access to health care based on need are generally accepted.

A Book Undressing Many of the Myths about the South!.......2004-04-11
It's easy to fall into stereotypes, but this book provides a lucid education on the truth about the nation's economy and the Southern participation in it. Highly recommended!
The book is well-written so that anybody (even the non-economics types) can understand what is happening in today's economy and society. If you are deciding on a book that might really open your eyes and help you understand the nation's economy, then strongly consider this one!

Book Description
With a little encouragement, your employees can see challenges in a new light and find creative solutions to old problems. You can help them by using the story of C and the Box.
This parable reveals that people must break free of old assumptions and limitations if they want to grow and develop. By exploring outside of a familiar box, C?the leading character?becomes a role model for creativity and imagination, and shows that changing the old way of doing things is necessary for progress.
The message will help people to:
- Overcome the constraints of conformity and bureaucracy
- Find new ways to solve problems
- Discover inner strengths
- Motivate others by example
C and the Box is an inspiration for those concerned with opening up new opportunities in their lives. In times of change, it helps motivate everyone from the mail clerk to the CEO. It's also a great tool for training sessions on empowerment or problem solving.
This delightful, animated story is available on video and in a hardbound book. Inspire creativity and pave the way for change with this brief but powerful story. Order the video for training and copies of the book for everyone in the organization.

Opens the door to creative thinking.......2001-03-19
Opens the door to creative thinking
This parable is an enjoyable little story focused on creative thinking within an organization. The story is a short illustrated cartoon that can be read in less than an hour, and illustrates how easy it is to get stuck in the comfort zone and how powerful and rewarding it can be when one taps into their creative spirit. This is not a deep read, but is a great reminder.
As the author of two books on creative thinking, I am always looking for other material that can be useful in my firm's creative work. I have found that this book is particularly good at reminding people of the importance of creative thinking, and how easy it is to get stuck doing...instead of thinking. C and The Box is a fun way to remind yourself of the power of creative thought.

An Effective 10 Minute Cartoon on Thinking Outside the Box.......2000-07-09
I often work with people to help them understand what stalled thinking is, and how to overcome it. One of the analogies that the majority of people get is thinking outside the box. I usually connect that thought to the old problem of how you connect the dots with fewer lines. Most people have trouble with that, until they start considering solutions that include drawing lines that go outside the apparent box formed by the dots.
This book takes a different approach. It explains how we become comformists, and comfortable with that comformity. Then it shows the downside of that conformity -- namely boredom.
The parable then goes on to show how hard it is to use resources that can get you out of the box, but how rewarding it is when you do, and share what you learned with others.
I find that most people don't see themselves in a box, which adds to their stalled thinking. I found the parable to be fresh and effective at addressing the issues, much like Who Moved My Cheese? does.
Although the book is short and can be read quickly, I see that as an advantage rather than a disadvantage. Be warned that the cost per word is high.
Be sure to read the two page epilogue. It has some ideas for helping you get out of the box. "Don't judge for a day." "Jump in a puddle." You will probably see one or two that will interest you, and that will help you out of the box.
Banish your stalled thinking! All you have to lose are your blinders!
not worth the money.......2000-06-20
This is an absolute waste of $$ plus shipping. It has one sentence per page, and cartoon diagrams that say simply "don't get in a rut. And if you do, get out."
I was extremely disappointed.
Learn to use what you have always had..........1999-07-31
I showed this book to my boss. He took it home and let his whole family read it. He said it was the best book he had ever read. My customer liked it so much he bought his own copy and showed it to his new employees. It's a book that you can literally read in 5 minutes and could change the way you think for the rest of your life. It's really about finding the creativity that you thought you lost as you grew up.
This story shows how anyone can experience a mindshift!.......1998-10-23
Learn to live and think out of your box! Push past those boundaries and limited beliefs! This paradigm parable's message hit's home!
