From basic sustenance to savory repasts, food awakens the senses
and touches both private and public life. It can be political,
religious, aspirational, commercial, creative, symbolic, national,
and regional. Food's complexity of form and meaning-and the fact
that it's often at hand-have made it a much-photographed subject
throughout the history of photography. Interest in both food
photography and food as a subject has risen in recent years, and
this is the first book to cover food photography's rich history-not
only in fine art photography, but also in crossover genres such as
commercial and scientific photography and photojournalism. Susan
Bright's introduction and commentary accompanying the photographs
bring insight and intelligence to this spectacular subject, and
trace the progression of the genre from photography's beginnings to
present day, featuring artists from all eras-Roger Fenton, Nickolas
Muray, Edward Weston, Irving Penn, Stephen Shore, Laura Letinsky,
Wolfgang Tillmans, Nobuyoshi Araki, and Martin Parr, to name a few.
Through key pictures, Bright explores the important figures and
movements of food photography to provide an essential primer.

as a unique opportunity for property lawyers to meet and confer
both formally and informally. The eighth biennial conference was

is a refereed and revised selection of the papers given at the
Oxford conference, covering a broad range of topics of contemporary
importance, both nationally and internationally. The book includes
chapters written by the key speakers at the conference: Lady
Justice Arden, Professor Kevin Gray and Law Commissioner, Professor

A peace book offered by a poet, a photographer and a journalist to
unmask and offer alternatives to war.
The dead ask us to wake from our living death and look through the
hole in our former reality. The path away from madness starts
there. The path that led us here will not lead us away. (Alan
Pogue)
This unique collection of essays, written by leading practitioners,
policy makers and academics, looks at patterns of landlord and
tenant law: past, present and future. Each sector is explored -
commercial, long residential, housing, and agricultural - by taking
a look backwards and forwards. The chapters explore the role that
legislative, judicial, and policy developments, and market forces
have played, and will continue to play, in shaping the law. Two
chapters are devoted to the seminal case of Street v Mountford and
its contemporary significance. A comparison is also made with the
position in Australia and the United States. The book provides a
scholarly reflection on the principles of leasehold law that will
be of interest to practitioners, academics, and students of
landlord and tenant law.
A cycle of poems spoken in the voice of a commiunity of swimmers
and environmentalists who gather at one of the most beautiful
natural springs in the US. "Breathing Under Water" is an anthology
of poetry at once personal, local and planetary. Weaving the
voices, dreams and real time work of a community of dedicated
swimmers and environmentalists who gather around an emerald, spring
fed, fresh water swimming hole five minutes from the capital
building in Austin, Texas, the poet creates a rich ethnographic
voice, the voice of a community working to preserve a natural
treasure which is known far and wide a "the soul of the city. This
is what poetry must be if it is to play a part in the future of
American artistic expression. With 'Breathing Under Water" we dip
into the spirit of community -- all its laughter, its tears, its
promise and fears, all its crazy post modern complexity. (Ric
Williams, "Austin Chronicle")
Is it real? What do I remember? How can you tell a story? Can lying
be OK? What goes where? Why is it famous? What makes it
problematic? Who do you think you are? Stealing or borrowing?
Public or private? These ten questions launch a thought-provoking
investigation into what is really going on when you look at a
photograph. Peeling back the layers of everything from the earliest
daguerreotypes to your latest selfie, you will discover where to
find meaning in an image, and the ways in which the photographer,
our current culture, and you yourself all collaborate in the
creation of that meaning.
For those embarking on or engaged in property law research, this is
a unique resource which includes contributions from twelve
international scholars who each analyse a different research
approach, addressing its value, associated methodology and the
challenges involved in pursuing it.
