Synopsis

First Photo Books explores the fascinating history of how photography became widely accessible through the printed book. It examines the intersection of technological innovation, aesthetic considerations, and social impact in the 19th and early 20th centuries. A key insight is that these early photo books weren't merely image collections but carefully constructed narratives shaping public perception. These publications played a vital role in democratizing visual culture and fostering visual literacy.

 
The book delves into the technological advancements that enabled the integration of photographs into books, such as photomechanical reproduction processes like the Woodburytype. It also analyzes how design choices influenced the reception and interpretation of these images. Uniquely, the book emphasizes the collaborative effort of producing a photo book, highlighting the contributions of publishers and designers alongside photographers.

 
The book progresses from the technological landscape to the evolution of design, thematic content, and the legacy of these early publications.

    Vietnam Combat - Firefights and...

    The year 1968 was arguably the most significant year of the war. It was the height of the American involvement, and because officer casualties had been so great after the Tet Offensive of January 1968, all prior officer assignments were canceled. 
     
     
     
    1st Lieutenant Robin Bartlett suddenly found himself at the "repo-depo" in Bien Hoa reassigned to the 1st Cavalry Division. The unit had more helicopter support than any other unit in Vietnam. Immediate support from artillery, helicopter gunships, and ARA was only minutes away to support a firefight. Wounded troops could be medevaced even in dense jungle using "jungle penetrators." It also meant that Bartlett's platoon could deploy through helicopter combat assaults into hot LZs (landing zones) at a moment's notice if an enemy force had been spotted. And they did. 
     
     
     
    It was with extreme anxiety that Bartlett made his way to join his battalion and company—it was the worst of times to be a platoon leader in Vietnam. Bartlett also had to cope with personal issues of commitment to a war that was rapidly losing support not only back home but among the soldiers he was leading. Fifty years later, Bartlett's vivid combat experiences are brought to light in a fast-moving, well-written, first-person narrative expressing the horror, fear, anguish, and sometimes illogical humor of that war.

    Marine Pollution - What Everyone...

    For millennia, human societies have viewed the ocean as a dumping ground for waste products of all kinds. The sources of marine pollution are extensive, including oil spills, sewage, fertilizers, pesticides, industrial wastes, heavy metals, ocean acidification, plastics, and even invasive species, considered biological pollution. Yet, the solutions are not as clear. 
     
    Updated to reflect recent research, this book discusses the sources of marine pollutants, their effects on marine organisms and humans, and how to reduce or eliminate them. Weis covers the aftermath of oil spills in addition to "emerging" topics like flame retardants, pharmaceuticals, noise pollution, and PFAS. A new chapter examines the prevalence of microplastics and how they rise through the food chain into human beings, along with their associated toxic chemicals. Additional chapters address the deadly effects of climate change in the ocean but also focus on actions that all people can take, citing recent environmental improvements as a cause for hope.
