Summary

"Camera Evolution" presents a fascinating journey through the technological transformation of photography, from the earliest daguerreotypes to today's sophisticated smartphone cameras. This comprehensive exploration weaves together three fundamental aspects: the technical breakthroughs that revolutionized image capture, the profound social impact of these innovations, and the gradual democratization of photography that made it accessible to everyone.

 
The book chronicles how visionaries like Louis Daguerre and George Eastman turned theoretical concepts into practical reality, detailing pivotal developments such as flexible film and electronic sensors. Through clear technical illustrations and historical documentation, readers discover how each innovation solved specific challenges while opening new possibilities for both professional and amateur photographers.

 
Particularly interesting is the examination of how Kodak's Brownie camera marked a turning point in making photography accessible to the general public, and how the transition from chemical to digital processes revolutionized visual communication. Moving chronologically through photography's history, the narrative expertly balances technical details with engaging historical context, making complex concepts accessible without sacrificing depth.

 
The book draws from extensive research, including patent records and interviews with industry pioneers, to illuminate how camera technology both shaped and reflected society's relationship with visual documentation. This approach makes it valuable for both photography enthusiasts seeking technical knowledge and casual readers interested in understanding how cameras evolved from specialized tools to the ubiquitous devices we know today.

    How dull plays are killing theatre and what we can do about it.
		 
Had I become disenchanted with the form I had once fallen so madly in love with as a pubescent, pimple-faced suburban homo with braces? Maybe theatre was like an all-consuming high school infatuation that now, ten years later, I saw as the closeted balding guy with a beer gut he’d become. There were of course those rare moments of transcendencethat kept me coming back. But why did they come so few and far between?
		 
A lot of plays are dull. And one dull play, it seems, can turn us off theatre for good. Playwright and theatre director Jordan Tannahill takes in the spectrum of English-language drama – from the flashiest of Broadway spectacles to productions mounted in scrappy storefront theatres – to consider where lifeless plays come from and why they persist. Having travelled the globe talking to theatre artists, critics, passionate patrons and the theatrically disillusioned, Tannahill addresses what he considers the culture of ‘risk aversion’ paralyzing the form.
		 
Theatre of the Unimpressed is Tannahill’s wry and revelatory personal reckoning with the discipline he’s dedicated his life to, and a roadmap for a vital twenty-first-century theatre – one that apprehends the value of ‘liveness’ in our mediated age and the necessity for artistic risk and its attendant failures. In considering dramaturgy, programming and alternative models for producing, Tannahill aims to turn theatre from an obligation to a destination.

    Immerse yourself in the groundbreaking artistic vision of Sameh AL Tawil, the renowned Egyptian-German multimedia artist whose work transcends conventional boundaries of medium and expression. Written by distinguished art critic Fatma Ali, with a foreword by celebrated artist Khaled Hafez, this comprehensive monograph offers an unprecedented exploration of AL Tawil's remarkable 25-year artistic evolution.

"Sameh Al Tawil : The Monograph" takes readers on a fascinating journey through AL Tawil's development from his early paintings and sculptural works in Egypt to his complex digital installations incorporating machine learning and artificial intelligence in Germany and around the world. As an artist who defies categorization, AL Tawil creates art that provokes profound questions about identity, migration, Neo slavery, technology, and human dignity through painting, photography, live performance, conceptual music, text, and sound.

This definitive volume meticulously analyzes AL Tawil's most significant projects, including "Cupboard", "Slavery Documents," "Clockwise," "Chaos," and "Ready to Go," revealing how his transmedia approach challenges our understanding of reality itself. Ali's insightful critique illuminates how AL Tawil's work embodies philosophical concepts from thinkers like Baudrillard, gille deleuze, jacques derrida, among others, while remaining deeply personal and emotionally resonant.

Readers will discover how AL Tawil's unique position as an artist navigating between Egyptian and German cultures has shaped his artistic vision, allowing him to create work that speaks to universal human experiences while addressing pressing contemporary issues. His innovative integration of music, performance, and digital technology creates immersive experiences that transform how we perceive and interact with art.

"Sameh Al Tawil : The Monograph" is essential reading for art historians, collectors, students, and anyone interested in the evolution of contemporary art at the intersection of traditional practice and cutting-edge technology. This definitive study not only documents AL Tawil's significant contribution to the global art landscape but also provides a framework for understanding the future of multimedia artistic expression in our increasingly digital world.

    In this bold and intimate memoir Ariel Anderssen charts her journey from a strict religious upbringing as a Jehovah’s Witness to her current position as one of the most widely recognised BDSM performers in the world. Her route between the two includes a period as a wretchedly miserable, teenage political activist, a phase touring with a Christian theatre group, and accidentally discovering a talent for posing for art nude photography. This surprising and unconventional career path led her to a life-altering introduction to BDSM-themed erotic artwork and a whole world she never imagined existing. 
This is a book about BDSM, and about sexuality, but most of all it is about one woman’s struggle for self-acceptance and the rewards that come from confronting who you are with honesty and compassion. 
TRIGGER WARNING: this book contains descriptions of sexual violence that some readers may find upsetting 
'In Playing to Lose, Ariel Anderssen creates an erudite and witty insight into the world of BDSM modelling, but more than that, it is a deeply felt exploration of freedom: what it takes to be free, and what it looks like' 
 Ali Millar, author of The Last Days 
'Moving and heartfelt, an utterly brilliant whirlwind of a book'  
Rebecca Reid, author of The Power of Rude 
'Often hilarious, frequently moving, sometimes disturbing and even harrowing, above all fearlessly honest, Playing to Lose guides us through a journey from repression to liberation that may well liberate the reader too. It’s a brave book by a brave writer, full of challenges and insights. Like all good writing, it makes us look again at things we thought we knew or took for granted, and to some readers it may reveal a world they never knew existed or one they hoped was real'  
Ramsey Campbell, author of The Lonely Lands

    When a young schoolteacher decides to teach her Grade 8 class about filmmaking and creates a documentary that ends up being broadcast internationally, she sets in motion a career of storytelling for an age group largely ignored by TV executives … and creates one of the most-loved television franchises of all time
		 
Includes fabulous behind-the-scenes photos and stories for Degrassi fans
		 
Linda Schuyler, co-creator and executive producer of the long-running Degrassi series, shares her personal stories about the grit and determination necessary to make it as a woman entrepreneur in the bourgeoning independent Canadian television industry of the early 1980s.
		 
After surviving a near-fatal car accident in 1968, Linda found her life continuing to veer in unexpected directions, ultimately leading her to use her innate abilities as an educator to become a successful storyteller and businesswoman.
		 
Linda’s deep fondness for teenagers has made her a champion for adolescents. In The Mother of All Degrassi, she shares her strong belief that television is all about the story, and a good story is all about making the political personal. Through anecdotes and introspection — and some great behind-the-scenes stories for Degrassi fans — Linda examines her philosophy to dream big, think small, meet life head-on, and always keep an open heart.

    In 1991, a new comedy hit British screens and, at first glance, it was just another sofa-based sitcom. Soon, it became clear Bottom was a masterpiece. Mixing cartoon-style slapstick, nob gags and Beckettian nihilism, it left an indelible mark on British comedy. Written by and starring comedy legends Rik Mayall and Adrian Edmondson as reprobates Richard Richard and Edward Hitler, their depraved universe unfolded over three chaotic BBC TV series, five explosive live shows and a formidable feature film.



Celebrating the legacy of TV's greatest losers Richie and Eddie, this audiobook features thorough 'Bottom Inspections', 'Bottom Nuggets', draft script excerpts and interviews with cast and crew sure to reignite fans' love for Rik and Ade's unmatched talent for toilet humour.



Crafted by the creators of the popular Talking Bottom podcast Paul Tanter, Angela Pearson and Mat Brooks, this is the ultimate guide to the outrageous and unforgettable sitcom that continues to delight and disgust audiences today.



Narrated by star of the show, actor and comedian Lee Cornes (Bottom's wily pub landlord 'Dick Head'), this unabridged audiobook gives fans a chance to listen while they're driving, on the commute or doing heavy housework...
