Sinopse

"Early Portraits" explores the fascinating history of portrait photography, from its challenging origins to its pervasive presence today. It highlights how early photographic processes, such as daguerreotypes and calotypes, revolutionized visual culture. The book reveals that photography not only altered how we capture likenesses but also democratized image-making, shifting portraiture from the elite to the masses. This exploration connects photography to broader societal shifts in identity and self-representation.

 
Examining the evolution of photographic techniques alongside social and artistic impacts, “Early Portraits” analyzes iconic portraits and shares technical details from historical sources. It progresses through the initial development of photography, its societal impact, and its emergence as an art form, all within the context of evolving technologies and cultural values. The book provides a comprehensive overview of portrait photography's first decades.

 
By examining the historical context of early photographic methods, the book provides a nuanced perspective on contemporary issues surrounding photographic ethics.

    Could it be possible? This old saint in the forest hath not yet heard of it, that God is dead!
     
    The ancient Persian prophet Zarathustra descends from a life of solitude on the mountain to announce to the world that God has been supplanted by the "Superman", the divine in human form. In one of the most radical and influential works of modern philosophy, Friedrich Nietzsche lays out the new standards of morality after the "death of God".
     
    Frequently misrepresented (and hijacked to dangerous purpose by Nazi intellectuals), Thus Spake Zarathustra is a work of profound brilliance and poetic mastery which still provides meaning in today's complex and changing world.

    This book is a compilation of teachings told in short stories about the author's attempts to undo the done. He offers this little book as a more ardent, and hopefully lucid, attempt to explain the paramount importance of doing nothing as a way to undo oneself. 
     
    ----------------------------- 
     
    "In my experience, all our problems do indeed stem from this hyperactive and delusional thinking we have acquired over time. 
     
    There is a way to eradicate the light-speed, blind reactions and the habitual confusion. The way is very simple. It boils down to just two words: do nothing. That s it. Do nothing. Sit quietly in a room alone and do nothing. Watch the monkey mind and do not try to fix it or eliminate it or drown it out or engage it. 
     
    This is doing non-doing. Observe the mind, on autopilot as usual, screaming editorial comments from the sidelines like some frenzied play-by-play announcer and do nothing about it. Don't turn the monologue into a dialogue. Do nothing. 'Nothing to see here, folks. Let s keep it moving.'"

    *As featured in the landmark BBC2 documentary Our Falklands War: A Frontline Story*Published to mark the fortieth anniversary of the Falklands war'There was a time when we did extraordinary things.' On 28 May 1982, 450 men of the 2nd Battalion, the Parachute  Regiment - 2 Para - went into action to retake the settlement of  Goose Green on East Falkland, where more than 1,000 Argentine  soldiers were holding 119 Falkland Islanders - men, women,  children and one baby - in squalid conditions. Forty years on, Goose Green is still the biggest and bloodiest  battle the British Army has fought in modern times. This book  is the living narrative of the battle told by the very men who  fought it; not just the soldiers of 2 Para, but also the SAS, the  Royal Navy and Merchant Navy, and others, in more than a hundred exclusive and untold personal accounts.Some are extremely funny, some touching, and some heart-breaking. All were recorded face to face, the speakers' own  words adding a gritty authenticity to each account and  conveying the confusion and terror of battle, as well as the courage and selflessness of men in action.  Goose Green is a book that goes beyond the official histories and the many memoirs to bring to life the first and, as it turned  out, the decisive battle of this country's outstanding campaign  to retake the Falkland Islands from a foreign invader. This is a true story of a great victory against all the odds, told by the men who fought it.
