Sinopse

First Aerial Photos explores the fascinating story of how 19th-century photographers achieved bird's-eye views long before airplanes and drones. It examines the history of photography and the innovative techniques used to capture images from above, such as balloon photography, kite photography, and even pigeon photography. These early efforts weren't just about novelty; they fundamentally altered how people understood landscapes and spatial relationships. The book illuminates the ingenuity required to overcome the technological challenges of lifting cameras into the air.

 
For example, photographers experimented with various methods, like attaching cameras to kites to capture sweeping landscapes. These early aerial photos had immediate practical applications, aiding in cartography and providing more accurate maps. First Aerial Photos emphasizes the impact of these advancements on society, tracing their influence on urban planning, military reconnaissance, and artistic movements.

 
The book unfolds chronologically, beginning with the initial experiments in balloon photography and progressing through the development of kite and pigeon photography. It culminates with an analysis of the practical applications and societal implications of these early aerial images, demonstrating how they laid the groundwork for modern remote sensing technologies.

Black Tax - Burden or Ubuntu?

Niq Mhlongo (Ed.)

The real significance of this book lies in the fact that it tells us more about the everyday life of black South Africans. It delves into the essence of black family life and the secret anguish of family members who often battle to cope. – Niq Mhlongo 
A secret torment for some, a proud responsibility for others, ‘black tax’ is a daily reality for thousands of black South Africans. In this thought-provoking and moving anthology, a provocative range of voices share their deeply personal stories. 
With the majority of black South Africans still living in poverty today, many black middle-class households are connected to working-class or jobless homes. Some believe supporting family members is an undeniable part of African culture and question whether it should even be labelled as a kind of tax. 
Others point to the financial pressure it places on black students and professionals, who, as a consequence, struggle to build their own wealth. Many feel they are taking over what is essentially a government responsibility. 
The contributions also investigate the historical roots of black tax, the concept of the black family and the black middle class. In giving voice to so many different perspectives, Black Tax hopes to start a dialogue on this widespread social phenomenon.

Ecce Homo

Friedrich Nietzsche

“Without music, life would be a mistake.”“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.” ...“That which does not kill us makes us stronger.”“I'm not upset that you lied to me, I'm upset that from now on I can't believe you.” 
Nietzsche 
 
The philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche's autobiography, Ecce Homo, was the last prose work that he wrote before his illness in 1889. Coming at the end of an extraordinarily productive year in which he had produced The Twilight of the Idols and The Antichrist, Nietzsche shuns any pretense at modesty with chapter titles include “Why I am so Wise”, “Why I am so Clever” and “Why I Write Such Excellent Books”. His translator Anthony M. Ludovici states, Ecce Homo “is not only a coping-stone worthy of the wonderful creations of that year, but also a fitting conclusion to his whole life, in the form of a grand summing up of his character as a man, his purpose as a reformer, and his achievement as a thinker. 
 
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was a German philosopher, cultural critic and philologist whose work has exerted a profound influence on modern intellectual history. He began his career as a classical philologist before turning to philosophy.
