Summary

"Fake Photographs" explores the long and often deceptive history of image manipulation, revealing how altered and staged photographs have shaped public perception and historical narratives. From early darkroom trickery to modern digital editing, the book uncovers the motivations behind photographic deception, examining instances of propaganda, political manipulation, and artistic expression. One might be surprised to learn how early war reportage was often staged, or how deeply ingrained image manipulation is within the medium itself.

 
The book progresses through case studies, analyzing specific instances of photographic deception, including propaganda images and manipulated media influencing public opinion. It emphasizes that photographic manipulation is not a recent phenomenon but an inherent aspect of the medium itself. By blending historical analysis with practical techniques for identifying image manipulation, the book provides readers with the critical tools to navigate the complexities of visual media and encourages a more informed approach to the images we consume daily.

 
Ultimately, "Fake Photographs" provides a framework for understanding the creation, dissemination, and impact of manipulated images. It culminates in a discussion of ethical responsibilities in the digital age, addressing the roles of photographers, editors, and viewers in mitigating the influence of fake photographs. The book aims to empower readers to become more critical consumers of visual information, questioning the authenticity of images encountered online and in various media.

    What Shakespeare's plays can teach us about modern-day politics 
 
 
 
William Shakespeare understood power: what it is, how it works, how it is gained, and how it is lost. 
 
 
 
In The Hollow Crown, Eliot A. Cohen reveals how the battling princes of Henry IV and scheming senators of Julius Caesar can teach us to better understand power and politics today. The White House, after all, is a court—with intrigue and conflict rivaling those on the Globe's stage—as is an army, a business, or a university. And each court is full of driven characters, in all their ambition, cruelty, and humanity. Henry V's inspiring speeches reframe John F. Kennedy's appeal, Richard III's wantonness illuminates Vladimir Putin's brutality, and The Tempest's grace offers a window into the presidency of George Washington. 
 
 
 
An original and incisive perspective, The Hollow Crown shows how Shakespeare's works transform our understanding of the leaders who, for good or ill, make and rule our world.

    Spid, Bid and Herman have been away on holiday. But when they get home again, they discover something rather sinister – they seem to have brought back more than just their luggage.This audiobook features two songs: 'I love to wash my hands' and 'Celebrate'. You can also find three more songs linked to the book and music videos of the songs at https://spidthespider.com and https://www.youtube.com/spidthespider. Spid is a lowly spider, who wants to better himself, write songs, and marry his girlfriend Bid, though he is prone to hilarious mishaps mostly of his own making. He is hard-working, cool, and a role model for young children. As well as encouraging children to read and love books, Spid's adventures also teach valuable life lessons, including determination and what psychologists call a 'growth mindset' (desire to better oneself and succeed), the importance of friendship, and sustainability. With very creative prose, Spid's adventures are fun for parents, and teachers to read to, and with, their children. They present lots of opportunities to invest dramatic licence thus helping adults and children interact and engage. The humour works at multiple levels from silly and slapstick to more sophisticated wordplay and concepts. Thus, children will discover more and enjoy reading the stories multiple times.
