Roger Bamber, for fifty years one of Britain’s leading
photojournalists, has poured his life’s work into this unique
reflection of a career that encompassed not only riots and bombings
and the crazy world of rock and pop in the twentieth century but
recorded with a sympathetic eye the demise of traditional British
industries and the old steam railways. His graphic photographs are
well known for their distinctive, often wryly humorous, style and
strong visual impact and have been widely published worldwide. He
was British Press Photographer of the Year, twice British News
Photographer of the Year and won many awards for his features on
the arts. Towards the end of his career he worked mainly for the
Guardian and was happiest finding creative people with a story to
tell. He preferred working outdoors, ideally within sight of the
sea, and showcasing ordinary people – celebrating just how
extraordinary all of us can be.
For six years Sebastiao Salgado traveled the Brazilian Amazon and
photographed the unparalleled beauty of this extraordinary region:
the rainforest, the rivers, the mountains, the people who live
there-this irreplaceable treasure of humanity in which the immense
power of nature is felt like nowhere else on earth.
The prospect of public speaking is daunting and often frightening for many people. Despite this, most students and professionals must make public presentations in one capacity or another over the course of their careers. What makes dealing with their fear difficult is that most have never been taught how to give a professional presentation. The purpose of this book is to provide some guidance in the 'how to's' of giving professional presentations in the behavioral sciences and related professions. The book is written specifically for students and professionals who have little or no experience of giving presentations and for those who are particularly anxious about public speaking. It gives concrete advice about designing, delivering, and defending presentations. This advice includes recognition of the appropriate goals of the presentation, using the appropriate fonts, projecting one's voice, and dealing with stage fright. Also included is advice on giving persuasive presentations, drawing on recent social psychological research, and advice on lecturing to students. Each chapter also includes summary tables to help readers organize their thoughts after each section. The book ends with some examples of good and bad overhead displays and slides.

Colonialist Photography is an absorbing collection of essays and photographs exploring the relationship between photography and European and American colonialism. Packed with over a hundred images, these captivating pictures range from the first experiments with photography as a documentary medium, up to the decolonisation of many regions after the Second World War. With thirteen essays, Colonialist Photography considers: * how photographs tended to support the cultural and political rhetoric of racial and geographic difference between the West and its colonies * the range of images from 'scientific' categorizing and recording methods, to 'commercial' pictures for collection and display, such as postcards and magazine advertisements * how photographers contributed to cultural, social, and political ideas of race by highlighting racial distinction in their work.
Addresses the relationship between law and the visual and the
importance of photography in show trials. Includes case studies
from Albania, East Germany, and Poland. Will appeal to legal and
cultural theorists.
Ruined cities overgrown by jungle. Towns buried beneath the ground.
Statues lying half- hidden in the sand. Why do civilisations
collapse? Why are towns abandoned? And how do once mighty cities
come to be forgotten about? From the pyramids of Egypt to the ruins
at Angkor in Cambodia and on to the mysteries of the Easter Island
moai statues, Abandoned Civilisations is a brilliant pictorial work
examining lost worlds. What emerges is a picture of how vast
societies can rise, thrive and then collapse. We admire how whole
cities develop, but equally fascinating is what happens when their
moment has passed. From the 9th century temples at Khajuraho in
India which were lost in the date palm trees until stumbled across
by European engineers in the 19th century to Mayan pyramids in the
Guatemalan jungle to Roman cities semi-buried - but consequently
preserved - in the North African desert, the book explores why
societies fall and what, once abandoned, they leave behind to
history. With 150 striking colour photographs exploring 100 worlds,
Abandoned Civilisations is a fascinating visual history of the
mysteries of lost societies.
In The Last Ten Years, author Brian J. Dickson presents stunning
colour photographs from the collections of three enthusiasts of the
Seafield Railway Club in north London. Meeting regularly at New
Southgate station to record the steam-handled traffic, their focus
was initially on all things connected with the former London and
North Eastern Railway, but as steam traction became restricted to
smaller and smaller areas of operation, regular visits were made
further afield, to the north-east of England, Scotland and the
former London Midland and Scottish Railway sheds and lines. This
record of steam locomotion in its final years of mainline usage,
from 1959 to 1968, is sure to enhance any steam railway
enthusiast's library.

a richly informative visual guide to a formative period in Johor's
history. The postcards presented in the book will be drawn from the
vast postcard collection of Dr Cheah Jin Seng, the author of
Malaya: 500 Early Postcards, Penang: 500 Early Postcards, Perak:
300 Early Postcards, Selangor: 300 Early Postcards and Singapore:
500 Early Postcards.
"An extraordinary tale of derring-do told in a mesmerising new book
via fascinating archive pictures - and worthy of a Hollywood movie
too." - Daily Mail In the late 19th century, the Norwegian Artic
explorer Fridtjof Nansen undertook a pioneering expedition: he
wanted to reach the North Pole with the specially designed ship
Fram. The Nansen Photographs recounts this expedition, from the
launch in 1890 through to the end of Nansen's international lecture
tour in 1897, using original photographs alongside personal diary
entries from Nansen and seven of his crew members. Together, they
illustrate in a poignant and sometimes disconcerting way how the
expedition members went about their daily lives and conducted their
research, the conflicts they faced, and how they ultimately brought
their daring undertaking to its successful conclusion. This book
brings new life to previously known facts and introduces the reader
to hundreds of previously unknown photographs from the expedition.
The large format of the book brings the smaller details in the
photographs to the forefront, providing new insight into the work
and life on board, the equipment and the clothing. Opposing diary
entries from Nansen and the men about the same situations show that
life on board was not always easy and tell a gripping story of
survival and the human condition. Nansen's lack of empathy and
practical skills caused frustration among the men, and several of
them resorted to fists to sort out their differences, but
nonetheless they all pulled through and set a new standard for
arctic expeditions to come. When Nansen leaves the ship for his
legendary 18 month journey with Hjalmar Johansen towards the North
Pole, we follow both Nansen and Johansen and the crew left on board
through their photographs and diaries. The return to Norway and the
spectacular celebration is told in detail through photographs,
newspaper reports, speeches, menus and ephemera. This stunning
712-page book comes with an illustrated dustjacket and contains 850
photographs and illustrations, 35 ship drawings and 25 maps.
First published in 1992, The Creatures Time Forgot examines the
representation of disabled people - in advertising, particularly
that produced by disability charities, and in the work of
photographers such as Diane Arbus and Gary Winogrand. He shows how
such images construct disabled people as 'creatures,' the
tragic-but-brave objects of photographic gaze, or as the ''appy
'andicapped' of 'positive imagery' advertising. As a disabled
photographer and writer, David Hevey has been a pioneer in
challenging such visual representations of disabled people. His
work advocates a move away from medical, charity or
impairment-fixated imagery towards a visual equivalent of 'Rights
not Charity'. The book outlines David Hevey's own photographic
practice and includes wide-ranging selections from his work to
create a visual form which reflects the new social presence of
disabled people. This book will be of interest to students of media
studies, cultural studies, and disability studies.
