Photography $33.95 PHOTOGRAPH PLATE i Frontispiece Coating a gelatin dry plate by hand. PHOTOGRAPHY By C. E. KENNETH MEES D. Sc DIRECTOR OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EASTMAN KODAK. COMPANY ROCHESTER, NEW YORK SECOND EDITION, REVISED NEW YORK THE MACMILLAN COMPANY 1951 Preface to Second Edition THE rapid progress in photography since the first edition of this book was published has made neces sary a revision of some of the chapters. The discovery of the structure of the developed silver image re vealed by the electron microscope has changed and clarified our views as to the process of development. At the same time, the theory of the formation of the latent image has become much more definite. The development of the tripack processes has revolutionized the practice of color photography, which is now in the full tide of an unparalleled ex pansion. Chapters IV, VI, and VIII have accordingly been revised to cover the changes in photographic theory and practice. Rochester, N. Y. December i, 1941 Preface PHOTOGRAPHY is both an art and a science it is an invaluable tool to those working in the other arts and sciences, and there are few activities of civilized man in which it has no part. There are many books on the art of photography, some of which are intended for beginners or for those to whom photography is only an amusement, while others deal in a comprehensive manner with photo graphic technique and its applications. This book, which had its origin in a course of lectures given last Christmas at the Royal Institution in London, is intended to provide a general review of the whole subject of photography written in a simple and popu lar style. The Christmas lectures have been given for more than a century andare intended especially for young people. By custom, the lectures consist largely of experiments and demonstrations, which have neces sarily been replaced in the book by description and illustrations. Photographic science is derived both from physics and from chemistry The preparation of the photo graphic material and its treatment after exposure may Vlll PREFACE be regarded as a branch of applied chemistry the exposure and the relation of that exposure to the photographic image involves the principles of physical optics. But photography has become differentiated from its parent sciences, and there has been developed a science of photography with a literature, a terminol ogy, and an instrumental technique of its own. From the laboratories which are engaged in the study of photographic science will come the future develop ments in the practical art of photography. It has been my fortune to be associated rather closely with the historical development of the subject. In 1901, while a student at the university, my atten tion was directed to the work of Hurter and Driffield, the photographic amateurs whose investigations laid the foundation for all subsequent work on photo graphic sensitometry and from that time, I have been engaged in the study of the science of pho togr

Remembering University of Alabama Football $17.39 In 1992, the centennial year of the University of Alabama football program, the Crimson Tide won its 12th national championship. Few major college football programs can claim as many. Through the medium of photography, this book tells the story of the greatness of University of Alabama football, from its origins as a club sport in 1892, through the death of its most famous head coach, Paul W. Bryant. Over the course of those nine decades, Alabama would win 11 of its 12 national championships and forever change the face of college football. What began as a sport dominated by elite teams in the Northeast and Midwest, would, by the time of Bryant’s death, be the hallmark sport of the American South. And the University of Alabama would, for many of those years, be the premier team in one of America’s greatest football conferences, the Southeast Conference. With a selection of fine historic images from his best-selling book, Historic Photos of University of Alabama Football, Joseph "Woody" Woodruff provides a valuable and revealing historical retrospective on the growth and development of University of Alabama football.

The Cultural Work of Photography in Canada $56.26 The Cultural Work of Photography in Canada is an in-depth study on the use of photographic imagery in Canada from the late nineteenth century to the present. This volume of fourteen essays provides a thought-provoking discussion of the role photography has played in representing Canadian identities. In essays that draw on a diversity of photographic forms, from the snapshot and advertising image to works of photographic art, contributors present a variety of critical approaches to photography studies, examining themes ranging from photography’s part in the formation of the geographic imaginary to Aboriginal self-identity and notions of citizenship. The volume explores the work of photographs as tools of self and collective expression while rejecting any claim to a definitive, singular telling of photography’s history. Reflecting the rich interdisciplinarity of contemporary photography studies, The Cultural Work of Photography in Canada is essential reading for anyone interested in Canadian visual culture. Contributors include Sarah Bassnett (University of Western Ontario), Lynne Bell (University of Saskatchewan), Jill Delaney (Library and Archives Canada), Robert Evans (Carleton University), Sherry Farrell Racette (University of Manitoba), Blake Fitzpatrick (Ryerson University), Vincent Lavoie (Universite du Quebec a Montreal), John O’Brian (University of British Columbia), James Opp (Carleton University), Joan M.

From Elite Schools to Elite University Programs $157.72 With higher education facing growing demand, severe budget limitations, and rising costs globally, countries are developing different means of increasing funding resources. This book examines the policies of financing higher education in Egypt, looking at the elite programs that use English or French as the language of instruction. The distinctiveness of these programs, as a policy of financing higher education, lies in the implementation of private units within public universities that charge high tuition to some students even though tuition is prohibited by the constitution. This book offers the first empirical examination of the impact of high tuition fees charged in the Foreign Language Instructed Programs (FLIP) on generating nongovernmental resources, increasing student satisfaction, and maintaining equitable access. The author also investigates the forms of cost sharing policies applied in Egyptian universities. This work is especially timely in light of heightened attention to the innovations of financing higher education. The analysis sheds light on a unique policy, and should be useful to policy makers and scholars interested in higher education finance and policy.
