Landscape: Pattern, Perception and Process $47.95 Landscapes develop and evolve through an interacting series of processes climatic, geological, ecological and cultural over varying periods of time.These processes shape the structure and character of the landscapes which we experience. Over time, distinctive patterns emerge ranging in scale from the distribution of small plants to the sculptured sides of a huge canyon.Our perception of these patterns goes beyond just their visual appreciation beautiful though they may be into a richer understanding of how we experience our environment. By understanding this complex patternprocess interaction we can obtain a deeper awareness of landscape and our place in it as inhabitants and as shapers. The book explores the nature of patterns and ways of classifying them before studying the nature of perception (primarily visual but including other senses), then proceeds to relate this perception to aesthetics and from there to the design process. From this point the main driving processes in landscape are introduced alongside the resulting patterns, these being climatic, landform, ecosystem and cultural aspects. It is this integrative approach of looking at landscape as a kind of self-organising system, overlaid by conscious human planning activities and the unity of pattern and process, which makes this book unique. Landscape draws from a wide range of neighbouring disciplines, of which the landscape planner or designer needs to be aware, but which are often taught as distinct elements. Bell binds these fundamentals together, which enables the landscape to be read’, and this reading to be used as the basis for planning and design. This second edition updates and refreshes the original material with added sections and new photos, particularly making use of the developments in satellite photography. Featuring full colour throughout, this textbook is ideal for anyone studying landscape architecture or any of the disciplines which intersect with the landscape, and which affect it.

The Fictional Arts: An Inter-Art Journey from Theatre Theory to the Arts $88.41 This book is a comprehensive introduction to the analysis of fictional worlds in various realms of the arts, including: theatre, opera, figurative ballet, mime, audio drama, figurative drawing/painting, figurative sculpture, the strip cartoon, animation, puppet theatre, still photography, the photo-novel, cinema, and TV drama. Due to their extreme differences, the combination of different arts in the description of a single fictional world, and the translation from one medium to another, are considered problematic. While such differences do not concern fictional creativity, which applies the same poetic and rhetoric rules whatever the medium, it is widely accepted that the problem lies in the extreme differences between these mediums. In contrast, The Fictional Arts explores their common grounds. The arts are iconic in nature, and if ‘iconicity’ is re-defined in terms of imprinting images on matter and mediation of language, and as reflecting the common roots of these mediums in a preverbal mode of imagistic thinking, therein is an explanation of their possible combination and translation from one medium to another without impairing the receivers’ reading, interpreting, and experiencing capacities. The book analyzes numerous fictional worlds in all these arts, especially in theatre and cinema. The Fictional Arts presupposes that principles underlying the generation of descriptions of fictional worlds by the theatre medium, as proposed in two earlier books by author Eli Rozik, also apply to all the iconic/fictional arts. The textbook format has been purposefully designed to address the needs of undergraduate and postgraduate students, suiting the structure of university courses and providing all necessary reference information to access the images/artistic works discussed, via the web and Google. This inter-art journey from theatre theory to the arts is compelling reading for all those involved and engaged in artistic creativity.

Advanced Studio Lighting Techniques for Digital Portrait Photographers: $34.95 Portraiture tends to rely on standardized, established lighting techniques, but most photographers know that subscribing to traditional methods does not always flatter every subject. The techniques collected in this guide will heighten the senses of mystery and drama in a digital photographer’s work by enhancing shape and contrast, keeping images fashionable and appealing with less reliance on natural light, and illuminating a subject’s eyes without producing catchlights. In this manner, textbook lighting setups can act as a springboard to creating personal and artistic high-quality portraits featuring new, radically-altered lighting effects. Multiple series of before-and-after photos comprehensively illustrate how to utilize these new methods to create emotion-evoking works of art that do more than simply capture the likeness of a subject.
