A peek into a lost world.......2005-03-22
Compassionate View of Child Labor, Sweatshops and Tenements.......2001-07-01
The reader will get a "fresh insight through his vision" because Mr. Hine takes you places you never imagined existed. The scenes speak for themselves and cause you to have a visceral reaction. My sense of vertigo at thinking about swaying on a girder was palpable as I looked over the Empire State Building construction photographs. In viewing the sweatshops, I could feel heat building up in my body. In the images of breaker boys, I could feel the dusty despair of the coal mines in my bones and lungs.
From a technical point of view, the compositions are very fine and draw the eye into the scene. You get a strong sense of the moment, even though the scenes are 70-90 years old. The images strike hard at you with their messages . . . without using captions. They are as gripping as anything you have seen about work or slum life on the front pages of a newspaper.
Sadly, Mr. Hine's career hit a major snag in the Depression. Stieglitz and he were on different paths, and those who were showing interest in art photography were uninterested in social realism. He was impoverished, had his house foreclosed on, and lived on welfare. His wife died on Christmas 1938. He died in November 1940 "impoverished, dispirited, worn out." He was "malnourished to the point of starvation." One cannot help but think that he moved closer to living the life of a saint than many of us will ever achieve.
My favorite images in the book include: New York City Sweatshop, 1908; Climbing into America, 1908; Young girls knitting stockings in Southern hosiery mill, 1920; Cigar makers, Tampa, 1909; Breaker boys in coal chute, South Pittston, Pennsylvania, January 1911; Playground in tenement alley, Boston, 1901; Cannery workers preparing beans, c. 1910; and Photographs of building the Empire State Building, New York City, 1930/32.
I suggest that you follow Mr. Hine's fine example and think about how you can visualize important messages that others can best appreciate as images. What images would you capture? How would you share them? Who would benefit?
Be prepared to help others see the injustices that you do!

Photography of a passionate humanist.......2001-01-29
Rosenblum joined Life Magazine in the late '30s. After the US joined the war he enlisted in the Army and was assigned to the Army Signal Corps, where he was trained in filmmaking. He was the first photographer to film the liberation of the camp at Dachau, and was highly decorated, receiving the Silver Star, the Bronze Star, the Purple Heart, and more. Awards aside, Rice asserts that "the motivating force of his life has been his interest in people and his inner need to communicate with them, whether in the classroom or through his camera." He became a member the faculties of several colleges and art schools, and is Professor Emeritus of Photography at Brooklyn College, among many other honors.
This is a beautiful book of 140 black and white photographs and able, perceptive commentaries that discuss Rosenblum biographically and, later, in a larger context in "The Camera Image in Social Action," a careful and lengthy essay by photography historian Naomi Rosenblum. The series of black and white photos are of Pitt Street (1938), War (1944), Spanish Refugees (1946), Gaspe (1949), 105th St. (1952), Hospitals (1962), Haiti (1958-59), Europe (1973), Long Island City (1979), and the South Bronx (1980) They are arresting and emotional. They have historic value, too - as documentary. Street life, families, interiors, lovers, fun and suffering and a lot that lies in between, along with the detritus and disastrous artifacts of war and displacement - are here. The photos have been chosen and arranged sensitively. There is compassion without bathos. Open the book at any page, and the pair of facing photos that you see are complementary in mood and meaning. In addition there are remarks by photographers who worked with Rosenblum.
This is a terrific and well thought-out compilation with great accompanying writing and high-quality production. There is a bibliography and a list of Rosenblum's writings. This book is definitely worth the effort it takes to find it.

Book Description
What will the city of the future look like? Advanced research and international cooperation, as presented here, have analyzed the problems (urban air and water pollution, waste treatment, illumination) and are offering new ways to solve them. The city in general can be considered on the basis of two models - Sociopolis vs. Technopolis - and these are discussed in terms of their impact on illumination, transportation, efficient energy use, creation of a Network of Integrated Urban Energy Planning. Environmental protection is discussed in terms of clean air, water policy, war on waste and environmental education. R&D for city dwellers focuses on lasers in industry and medicine, solar cars, solar roofs for houses, new food and perfumery additives. The book presents the results of applications and recommendations for the sustainable development of a city and its inhabitants, not only in terms of theoretical ideas but also in terms of facts, with examples and results summarised in tables and illustrated by figures. Remedies are proposed for some of the issues discussed.

Book Description
This book tells the story of the seven men who presided over the World Bank from 1946 to 1991: Eugene Meyer, John J. McCloy, Eugene R. Black, George D. Woods, Robert S. McNamara, Alden W. Clausen, and Barber B. Conable. The story throws light on the importance of leadership for the building and performance of an institution, especially a global institution. Each president made a distinct contribution to building the organization and defining its mission. The chapters in this book describe who those presidents were, how they came to the Bank, and what experiences they brought with them. The essays also analyze the problems these men encountered during their tenure and how they dealt with them, discuss the impact each president had on the Bank, and describe the legacies of these presidents.

Book Description
On the CD are in brief are:1) Five versions of the One Hand Typing and Keyboarding Manual.
2) 100 page eBook: One Handed Office Professional: How To Be The Most Productive Person in Your Office
3) Scores of resources from all of the Internet
Here is more on the three areas mentioned above:
______
1) Five versions of the One Hand Typing and Keyboarding Manual.
All five versions work perfectly on the Macintosh, or the PC. The user can practice typing right on their computer screen. With the use of either your right, or left hand, this simple manual will teach you to type on a standard keyboard. Within 1-3 weeks of working through the drills in this manual, you can step into any mainstream program to learn typing. All of the exercises are very simple and can be used by the average child or adult.
Of the several version of the One Hand Typing and Keyboarding Manual on the disc, one is perfect for printing, this is the 72 page manual. From the CD you can print out your own hardback version of the manual. This is exactly the same as the 72 page comeback manual we sell.
But the best are the other four versions on the CD. These allow you to practice right into the document on the screen! Fields are provided for practicing the one hand typing exercises. These e-books are 330 pages. The exercises are exactly the same in the 72 page printed manual. However, we have taken each exercise, and broken it up into very easy to read, and easy to practice steps. This way, the process is much more interactive, simple, and fun!
One version, our personal favorite, is in a PDF format. You read that with Adobe® Acrobat Reader, this is a free program which we include on the CD. The other three versions are in Microsoft Word®. Using one of these Word versions allows the user to become familiar with this most popular of the word processing programs used in offices today. You must own Word already to use these.
