Sinossi

First Studio Photos explores the fascinating history of early photography studios and their democratization of portraiture. Before photography, portraits were exclusive to the wealthy, but advancements in photographic processes like daguerreotypes, ambrotypes, and tintypes allowed a broader segment of society to capture their likeness. These studios weren't just places for taking pictures; they became integral to shaping social identities and reflecting the aspirations of a rising middle class. 

 
The book examines how studios evolved, from their design and equipment to their business practices, while highlighting the photographers' roles as both technicians and artists. It emphasizes how these early images shaped visual culture and influenced social norms. By analyzing historical photographs, advertisements, and personal accounts, First Studio Photos reveals how the act of taking a studio portrait profoundly impacted individuals and society.

 
 Beginning with photography's pioneers and their inventions, the book progresses through the development of studios and their social impact, culminating in a discussion of their lasting legacy on contemporary photography. This approach provides a comprehensive understanding of how early photography studios not only captured images but also shaped our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

    A new assessment of the British and Commonwealth contribution to the defeat of Japan in the Pacific.
    
    The monumental struggle fought against Imperial Japan in the Asia/Pacific theater during World War II is primarily viewed as an American affair. While the United States did play a dominant role, the British and Commonwealth forces also made major contributions—on land, at sea and in the air, eventually involving over a million men and vast armadas of ships and aircraft. It was a difficult and often desperate conflict fought against a skilled and ruthless enemy that initially saw the British suffer the worst series of defeats ever to befall their armed forces. Still, the British persevered and slowly turned the tables on their Japanese antagonists. Fighting over an immense area that stretched from India in the west to the Solomon Islands in the east and Australia in the south to the waters off Japan in the north, British and Commonwealth forces eventually scored a string of stirring victories that avenged their earlier defeats and helped facilitate the demise of the Japanese Empire.
    
    Often overlooked by history, this substantial war effort is fully explored in Forgotten War. Meticulously researched, the book provides a complete, balanced and detailed account of the role that British and Commonwealth forces played on land, sea and in the air during this crucial struggle. It also provides unique analysis regarding the effectiveness and relevance of this collective effort and the contributions it made to the overall Allied victory.

    As US-Russian relations scrape the depths of cold-war antagonism, the promise of partnership that beguiled American administrations during the first post-Soviet decades increasingly appears to have been false from the start. Why did American leaders persist in pursuing it? Was there another path that would have produced more constructive relations or better prepared Washington to face the challenge Russia poses today? 
     
     
     
    With a practitioner's eye honed during decades of work on Russian affairs, Thomas Graham deftly traces the evolution of opposing ideas of national purpose that created an inherent tension in relations. Getting Russia Right identifies the blind spots that prevented Washington from seeing Russia as it really is and crafting a policy to advance American interests without provoking an aggressive Russian response. Distilling the Putin factor to reveal the contours of the Russia challenge facing the United States whenever he departs the scene, Graham lays out a compelling way to deal with it so that the United States can continue to advance its interests in a rapidly changing world.
