This beautifully illustrated book on camouflaged animals includes
some of nature's greatest designs and is one of the most remarkable
compilations of pictures on the subject ever published. These
images have to be seen to be believed in terms of the subjects'
remarkable imitations of their natural backgrounds which often aid
them in their roles as hunting predator or prey attempting to avoid
capture. Types of animal covered include invertebrates, reptiles,
amphibians, mammals, birds and all kinds of marine wildlife. The
text, written by the expert authors and photographers, explains
what is shown in each picture, giving insight from the actual
observations. Subjects include colour-changing chameleons and fish,
birds which look like tree branches, eggs which blend with their
sand or gravel background, butterflies which perfectly imitate
leaves, crab spiders which mimic the bright petals of their chosen
bloom and Snow Leopards which merge seamlessly with the slopes on
which they stalk their prey. Decades of work by the award-winning
photographers are distilled down into this remarkable and
eye-caching book.
Italian Americans on Screen: Challenging the Past, Re-Theorizing
the Future reconsiders Robert Casillo's definition of
Italian-American cinema as "appl[ying] to works by Italian-American
directors who treat Italian-American subjects" to expand this
classification. Contributors situate Italian-American cinema and
media within the contemporary and intersectional debates about
ethnic identity, including race, class, gender, and sexuality
studies. This book links past scholarship to theoretical
underpinnings with new hermeneutical approaches in television and
film to establish new interpretations concerning Italian Americans
on screen. Scholars of film studies, media studies, cultural
studies, and sociology will find this book particularly useful.
