Basic Human Anatomy teaches artists the simple yet powerful formula
artists have used for centuries to draw the human figure from the
inside out. A comprehensive, yet flexible and holistic approach,
Roberto Osti's method of teaching anatomy is exhaustive, but never
loses sight of the fact that this understanding should lead to the
creation of art. A comprehensive, yet flexible and holistic

Human Anatomy teaches artists the simple yet powerful formula
artists have used for centuries to draw the human figure from the
inside out. Osti, using the basic system of line, shape, and form
used by da Vinci, Raphael, and Michelangelo, takes readers
step-by-step through all the lessons needed in order to master this
essential foundation skill. Organized progressively, the book shows
readers how to replicate the underlying structure of the body using
easy-to-understand scales and ratios; conceptualize the front and
side views of the skeleton with basic shapes; add detail with
simplified depictions of complex bones and joints; draw a muscle
map of the body with volumetric form and realistic dimension;
master the feet, hands, and skull to create realistic renderings of
the human form; and apply a deeper knowledge of anatomy to finished
drawings for more impact.
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly
growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by
advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve
the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own:
digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works
in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these
high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts
are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries,
undergraduate students, and independent scholars.Rich in titles on
English life and social history, this collection spans the world as
it was known to eighteenth-century historians and explorers. Titles
include a wealth of travel accounts and diaries, histories of
nations from throughout the world, and maps and charts of a world
that was still being discovered. Students of the War of American
Independence will find fascinating accounts from the British side
of conflict. ++++The below data was compiled from various

The Chamberlains - father Joe and sons Austen and Neville - are
probably the country's best-known political family. Synonymous with
Birmingham, they achieved both local fame and fortune and, with
Neville's appointment as prime minister, the highest national
office. Together, they transformed late Victorian Birmingham into
'the best-governed city in the world'. This book is richly
illustrated with archive photographs from the Birmingham Central
Library (located, of course, in Chamberlain Square) as well as
political cartoons from national magazines such as Punch and local
publications such as The Era, The Lion, The Dart and The Owl.
Documenting the family's far-reaching influence on their adopted
home town, from their political and business legacies to the
buildings, streets and memorials that now carry their name, it also
aims to present a picture of the private lives of the family: their
relationships with their spouses, children and extended family,
their hobbies and interests, and the houses and gardens they lived
in. Birmingham and the Chamberlains provides a fascinating insight
into the Chamberlain's legacy, and will delight anyone who has
lived or worked in the city.
Illustrated with more than 180 archive photographs, this book
captures the commercial heritage of the city and offers a glimpse
into Birmingham's past. Capturing the diversity of Birmingham's
shops and markets, it provides an important record of life in the
city as it used to be. Peter Drake works as head of local studies
at Birmingham Central Library. Collecting rare picture postcards
has been a long-standing interest for his co-author, Andy Maxam.
The images featured in this book are drawn from the extensive
archives of Birmingham library as well as the authors' own
collections.
This superb new collection of over 200 archive images, while
guaranteed to fascinate bus enthusiasts, will also have huge appeal
to the many thousands who have travelled the inner circle route or
who simply have an interest in the history of Birmingham. Known in
its time as the 'Workmen's Special' the number 8 route served the
workers for some of Birmingham's best known employers, such as
Lucas, Ansells Brewery, HP Sauce, B.S.A. and Bulpitts. Many will
remember the Victorian back-to-backs on the route, demolished years
ago, where many of those same workers lived before moving away to
newly built estates. Not only do the scenes and the buses show just
how much times have changed, the informative captions that
accompany each picture remind us of a different era. Instead of
radios and CCTV the standard equipment on the first buses included
rope, spark plug, whistle, matches and a candle! This was a time
when conductors would actually escort younger passengers from the
bus right to their front door. Recalling the history of Birmingham
through this novel perspective makes for a truly enthralling read.
Presenting a collection of over 200 archive images, this work
provides insights into the changing history of the area of Newtown
and Summer Lane over the years. Each image is accompanied by a
caption, describing many aspects of life in the town. It includes
chapters on work, schools, transport, streets, industry and local
events.
