Defining photography is impossible. Revealing it is another matter,
and that's what The Concise Focal Encyclopedia of Photography does,
with each turn of the page. History: The technical origins and
evolution of photography are half of the story. The other half
consists of the ways that cultural forces have transformed
photography into a constellation of practices more diverse than any
other mode of representation. Photographers can tell a more
in-depth story through a photo like Dorothea Lange's "Migrant
Mother than a journalist ever could with the written word alone.
Major themes and practitioners: Over 25 entries, many with
supporting illustrations, examine the figures, trends, and ideas
that have contributed most heavily to the history and current state
of photography. Contemporary issues: The issues influencing
photography today are more complex than at any other time in its
history. Questions of ethics, desire, perception, digitization, and
commercialization all vie for attention. Hear what the experts have
to say about crucial issues such as whether or not the images we
take today will last the test of time, and if so, how? When
material is covered this skillfully, "concise is no compromise. The
Concise Focal Encyclopedia of Photography is packed with useful
information, compelling ideas, and - best of all - pure pleasure.
Ophthalmic Imaging serves as a reference for the practicing
ophthalmic imager. Ophthalmic imaging combines photography and
diagnostic imaging to provide insight into not only the health of
the eye, but also the health of the human body as a whole.
Ophthalmic photographers are specialists in imaging through and in
the human eye, one of the only parts of the body where the
circulation and nervous system is visible non-invasively. With
technical perspective as context, this book will provide
instructional techniques as well as the background needed for
problem solving in this exciting field. The book covers all aspects
of contemporary ophthalmic imaging and provides image support to
ophthalmologists and sub-specialties including retinal specialists,
corneal specialists, neuro-ophthalmologists, and ocular
oncologists. This text serves as a reference for the practicing
ophthalmic imager, or to imagers just getting started in the field.

Laboratory Imaging and Photography: Best Practices for
Photomicrography and More is the definitive guide to the production
of scientific images. Inside, the reader will find an overview of
the theory and practice of laboratory photography, along with
useful approaches to choosing equipment, handling samples, and
working with microscopic subjects. Drawing from over 150 years of
combined experience in the field, the authors outline methods of
properly capturing, processing and archiving the images that are
essential to scientific research. Also included are chapters on
applied close-up photography, artificial light photography and the
optics used in today's laboratory environment, with detailed
entries on light, confocal and scanning electron microscopy. A lab
manual for the digital era, this peerless reference book explains
how to record visual data accurately in an industry where a
photograph can serve to establish a scientific fact. Key features
include: Over 200 full-color photographs and illustrations A
condensed history of scientific photography Tips on using the Adobe
Creative Suite for scientific applications A cheat sheet of best
practices Methods used in computational photography
This book traces the origins and activities of the longest-standing
collaborative teacher group in education, the Portfolio Group. Each
chapter documents, historically and conceptually, the main
intellectual moments in the evolution of the idea of knowledge
communities. Authors illuminate the expansive work, research, and
the leading/learning influence that the Portfolio Group has had in
the local education community as well as on the international
education landscape. In doing so, they illustrate the journey of a
school-based, cross-institutional knowledge community and provide
the proverbial light at the end of the tunnel for so many novice
and newly formed groups seeking sustainability. The book
demonstrates through the shared experiences of five
teachers/teacher educators the ways in which varied collaborations
aimed at professional development lead to teacher growth in
practice, leadership, and career.

Online learning poses a multitude of challenges for educators as
there are oftentimes limited resources, and in most cases educators
are forced to rely on trial-and-error strategies. In the wake of
the COVID-19 pandemic, an urgent need has risen for a better
understanding of creating and maintaining an engaging digital
classroom environment. Pedagogy, Presence, and Motivation in Online
Education provides best practice techniques and utilizes analogies
from brick-and-mortar education to provide a conceptual framework
to a better understanding of how online education functions and
shows how to engage students and build a positive digital culture.
Covering topics such as hybrid classrooms, self-directed learning
skills, and principal leadership, this book is an excellent
resource for educators of both higher and K-12 education,
educational administration, pre-service teachers, government
institutions, policymakers, researchers, and academicians.
