New York: Harry N Abrams, 1999. Near Fine Unread book in VG Dust Jacket Cover bright, very minor shelfwear PAges clean bright white tight Dust Jacket (in Broadart cover) bright, some shelfwear, sm tears From Library Journal In 1879, the discovery of vividly painted animals and abstract symbols in the Altamira cave in Spain sparked a continuing fascination with and curiosity about Paleolithic creativity. While Altamira has been mentioned in recent books on the subject, e.g., The Shamans of Prehistory: Trance and Magic in the Painted Caves (LJ 2/1/99), this collection of essays updates the information and images documented by excavators Henri Breuil and Hugo Obermaier in their 1935 monograph, The Cave of Altamira at Santillana del Mar, Spain. Since the cave is now restricted to protect the paintings, the detailed photographs by Saura Ramos (photography, Univ. of Madrid) offer an excellent visual experience to armchair visitors. Included are reports on new radiocarbon dates by Federico Bernaldo de Quir?s and P?rez-Seoane's experiences duplicating prehistoric artistic processes. Other Spanish experts give historical overviews and discuss conservation problems. An important acquisition for public and academic libraries.AAnne Marie Lane, American Heritage Ctr., Laramie, WY Copyright 1999 Reed Business Information, Inc.

Berkeley: University of California Press, 1995. Near Fine Unused 1995 1st printing Cover bright, very minor shelfwear, tiny chips Pages clean bright white tight Very Nice Product Description: Filmed images dominate our time, from the movies and TV that entertain us to the news and documentary that inform us and shape our cultural vocabulary. Crossing disciplinary boundaries, Fields of Vision is a path- breaking collection that inquires into the power (and limits) of film and photography to make sense of ourselves and others. As critics, social scientists, filmmakers, and literary scholars, the contributors converge on the issues of representation and the construction of visual meaning across cultures. From the dismembered bodies of horror film to the exotic bodies of ethnographic film and the gorgeous bodies of romantic cinema, Fields of Vision moves through eras, genres, and societies. Always asking how images work to produce meaning, the essays address the way the 'real' on film creates fantasy, news, as well as 'science,' and considers this problematic process as cultural boundaries are crossed. One essay discusses the effects of Hollywood's high-capital, world-wide commercial hegemony on local and non-Western cinemas, while another explores the response of indigenous people in central Australia to the forces of mass media and video. Other essays uncover the work of the unconscious in cinema, the shaping of 'female spectatorship' by the 'women's film' genre of the 1920s, and the effects of the personal and subjective in documentary films and the photographs of war reportage. In illuminating dark, elided, or wilfully neglected areas of representation, These essays uncover new fields of vision. First Edition. Soft Cover. Near Fine. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
Boston: Bulfinch, 1999. Book 1 Library Journal Heavily based upon Adams's writings on the aesthetics and techniques of photography, most notably his series The Camera , The Negative , and The Print , this fine book deals with virtually every aspect of the medium. Following a brief introduction on the history of photography and on contemporary issues in taking photographs, this book introduces readers to cameras and lenses, moves on to the specifics of black-and-white and color photography, and concludes with an interesting chapter on field trips. All aspects of photography are thoroughly presented in a clear, readable manner. In fact, the book is much more accessible than Adams's classic series. The title is also something of a misnomer, because experienced photographers as well as beginners will find this book to be of great value. Given the number and quality of reproductions as well as the abundance and quality of information, this book is certainly one of the best manuals available. Essential purchase for all public and academic libraries.-- Raymond Bial, Parkland Coll. Lib., Champaign, Ill.. Revised and Updated. Soft Cover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾" - 12" tall.
