At last...you were all waiting with 'bated breath' I know (my
Boyle-Breath novels #1, 2, & 3 are all out now also)...here's
my 3RD "WHOOP'S" collection of Apostrophe, Spelling, and other
'word' error slip-ups. Happily, it has got to the stage that
(photographed) mistakes are being rectified by the perpetrators
themselves (some have even spotted me, mobile in hand); and I have
myself started to fix the odd (so far) fox's paw (see the
all-too-brief 'Wrong +Fixed' input - Chapter 1) One hundred (plus)
more mistooks caught in their prime bleakness for you, including
the 'usual suspect' chapters of pure plain awful Ap and Sp errors;
and 'abroad'...accidents Add a section of 'One Wrong One Right'; a
section of 'Firm' headliners where they just don't seem to care
about correctness anymore, and a compendium of my beloved 'Just
Weird' cock-ups and we're laughing all the way...to the bank ('NOT
' says my Ed. also known as Edith my good wife). Laugh, cry, enjoy

"Dramatic and startling" -- The Guardian. Witness Barack Obama as
you've never seen him before -- as feminist, communist, fashion
model, Jew, Muslim terrorist, Messiah, Superman, George Washington,
President Roosevelt, Julius Caesar and Hindu deity Lord Shiva.
Obama: 101 Best Covers shows America's ex-president in all these
guises and more, on the front pages of the world's leading print
publications. NEW BARACK PHOTO BIOGRAPHY During his two terms in
the White House, former US President Barack Obama amassed more
newspaper and magazine covers than any other in history. This new
post-presidency legacy book brings you the best 101 examples from
around the world, in a special commemorative edition celebrating
the startling event that was the 2008 election of America's first
African American leader. It presents a unique visual biography of
the background and accomplishments of his historic presidential
campaign. OBAMA & NEW YORK TIMES Featured titles within this
definitive collection include Time, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Vogue,
Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Esquire, Ebony, Essence, Vibe, The
Guardian and The New York Times, amongst others. Many of the covers
featuring the 44th US president were flattering. He never looked
better than when he featured on the front of The New York Times or
Rolling Stone. (See pages 40 and 69 of the Obama book). DREAMS OF
AUDACITY & HOPE Many Barack Obama biography and legacy books
have been written by different authors in recent years. His
autobiography, Dreams Of My Father, as well as his memoir, The
Audacity Of Hope, detail Obama's life story better than any
biography by another author could, while the photographic portraits
offered in Obama books by Pete Souza and Peter Baker reveal the
intimate access they had to the White House's first African
American president during his two administrations. But this new
legacy book enters the Barack Obama story in 2004 with his very
first cover, for Black Enterprise, and then tracks Obama's US
presidential campaigns and elections of 2008 and 2012 through a
further 100 amazing covers. THE CALL OF HISTORY 2008 Amongst the
print media, Barack Obama was a publishing sensation - a fact borne
out by the volume of covers his portrait graced during his
eight-year American presidency. They range from graphic
illustrations to photographs of Obama giving speeches while on the
campaign trail, right through to intimate studio portraits. Many
depict him as the chosen one, the Messiah even. Obama was the one
who, out of the many, answered the call of history many thought
would never come, while exercising power that no other African
American leader before him has ever wielded on the political and
presidential stage. OBAMA: AN INTIMATE PORTRAIT IN WORDS The text
for the Obama covers book discusses the design, typography,
photography and political context of each cover portrait, bringing
to life this unique portrait of the world's most famous man.
BARACK: 4 COVERS FOR NO. 44 Obama: 101 Best Covers, is available in
FOUR collectable editions, each with a different cover. As a
souvenir, gift or inspirational Black History Month purchase for
2018, this is one the best Obama books with which to celebrate the
former US president's tenure in the White House. NEW OBAMA BOOK:
SUMMARY - Available in FOUR editions. - A bespoke souvenir -- EIGHT
years in the making. - Features amazing covers you've never seen

When the revolutionary technology of photography erupted in
American culture in 1839, it swiftly became, in the day's parlance,
a ""mania."" This richly illustrated book positions vernacular
photography at the center of the study of nineteenth-century
American religious life. As an empirical tool, photography captured
many of the signal scenes of American life, from the gold rush to
the bloody battlefields of the Civil War. But photographs did not
simply display neutral records of people, places, and things;
rather, commonplace photographs became inscribed with spiritual
meaning, disclosing, not merely signifying, a power that lay
beyond. Rachel McBride Lindsey demonstrates that what people beheld
when they looked at a photograph had as much to do with what lay
outside the frame - with theological expectations, for example - as
with what the camera had recorded. Whether studio portraits tucked
into Bibles, postmortem portraits with locks of hair attached,
""spirit"" photography, stereographs of the Holy Land, or magic
lanterns used in biblical instruction, photographs were curated,
beheld, displayed, and valued as physical artifacts that functioned
both as relics and as icons of religious practice. Lindsey's
interpretation of ""vernacular"" as an analytic introduces a way to
consider anew the cultural, social, and material reach of religion.

In Candid Creatures, the first major book to reveal the secret
lives of animals through motion-sensitive game cameras, biologist
Roland Kays has assembled over 600 remarkable photographs. Drawing
from archives of millions of color and night-vision photographs
collected by hundreds of researchers, Kays has selected images that
show the unique perspectives of wildlife from throughout the world.
Using these photos, he tells the stories of scientific discoveries
that camera traps have enabled, such as living proof of species
thought to have been extinct and details of predator-prey
interactions. Each image captures a moment frozen in the camera's
flash as animals move through their wild habitats. Kays also
discusses how scientists use camera traps to address conservation
issues, creating solutions that allow humans and wild animals to
coexist. More than just a collection of amazing animal pictures,
the book's text, maps, and illustrations work together to describe
the latest findings in the fast-moving field of wildlife research.
Candid Creatures is a testament to how the explosion of game
cameras around the world has revolutionized the study of animal
ecology. The powerful combination of pictures and stories of
discovery will fascinate anyone interested in science, nature,
wildlife biology, or photography.
