Book Reviews Shelf 2 - Technical and How-To
©opyright by James Ollinger. All rights reserved.
Back in the early 1950's, Ansel Adams wrote a six-volume series of small books on photography, The Camera, The Lens, The Negative, The Print, Artificial Light and Polaroid Photography. I tried them and didn't care for them: I found them dry and intimidating. Twenty years later he revised and combined the first two volumes as The Camera and Lens. I do not know whether he had a ghost writer, a better editor, or simply matured as a writer over the years, but it was a far more readable and interesting book. So I was highly encouraged when he again revised the whole series as a three volume set not long before his death in 1984. These three are the best yet. And while it would have been nice to read the master's updated opinions on artificial light and the latest brew from Polaroid, I felt lucky to get this at all.
The Camera, as its title suggests, covers camera equipment and technique; it is the weakest of the series because it is the most dated. The problem with each edition of Adams's technical books has been its survey of current equipment; the information becomes less relevant over time. Thus no mention of any facet of the digital revolution. No mention of the electronic powerhouse 35mm SLRs that dominated the late 1980s and 1990s, with their sophisticated auto-focus and complex through-the-lens metering capabilities. The information remains accurate but incomplete.
Even though the book is dated, the presentation is still top-notch. Adams was (or had great help) also an excellent writer. I found his explanations clear and concise. The book (as is the whole series) is well illustrated and beautifully presented.
The only thing I truly found lacking in the first book was an in-depth discussion of the art of photography, which is truly where Adams excelled. Chapters include technical topics such as "Small-Format Cameras," "Lenses," "Shutters," and "Meters and Accessories," but there is next to nothing about composition and image design.
The Negative serves as the introduction to Adams's famous Zone System and its application in creating images on negative film. Note that I said creating and not recording, as the essence of Adams's technique is in the manipulation of materials—camera, negative and print—to create the image one desires.
This volume suffers less from obsolescence than The Camera because the emphasis is more on the Zone System and applying it to the available materials rather than surveying the materials available at the time. He is also aided by the fact that general darkroom techniques and procedures have not changed greatly since the depression. Again, at the time that Adams wrote this there were no desktop photo scanners and no Adobe Photoshop; a quarter-century from now this book may be useful only as a guide to how things used to be done, when B&W films have gone the way of the daguerreotype, but for now the book is still highly relevant and useful. This is, in my opinion, the most valuable volume of the three.
The final volume in the series, The Print, falls somewhere between The Camera and The Negative in terms of aging. Like the others it is beautifully written and presented. Like The Negative it has a lot of valuable advice and information; but like The Camera it is tied more directly to then-current materials. But the wealth of technique more than makes up for this shortcoming.
Pros: Very well written and profusely illustrated.
Cons: Equipment and material-specific information is accurate but becoming obsolete.
Examples: The Making of 40 Photographs is not just an exhibition, but an explanation. As with his technical books, Adams shows off his writing skills with some of the most engaging technical commentary I've seen in a photo book. Rather than simply present raw data ("f16 at 1/50th with a K2, developed in ABC pyro and printed on Azo Grade 3") or dry explanation, Adams's technical explanation sounds far more like a friendly conversation than a professorial lecture. For instance, his commentary on the making of "The Golden Gate before the Bridge" doesn't end with his comments on trying to keep the camera still in the wind before the cloud composition deteriorated: it includes asides on the state of his camera equipment at the time and the trials befalling photographers of an earlier era. The result is a casualness that humanizes the man underneath the focusing cloth.
Granted, Adams doesn't get very deep into the mechanics of how he produced the prints. The book is more about the rationale of why he made the photo in the first place, or how he achieved an effect that he wanted. Anyone wanting a deeper discussion of tools and techniques should go The Negative and The Print instead.
Now if I ruled the world, these books would have been double their size—not in thickness, but in length and width. Adams's photographs are powerful, but physical size gives them even more power. If any book deserves a coffee-table edition, it is this one.
Pros: Beautiful reproductions of his best-known works.
Cons: Too small a format.
The silver-gelatin process that became the backbone of photography became dominant in the 20th century. Before that the art was very much in flux, with any number of competing processes that waxed and waned over time—Daguerreotypes, Cyanotypes, Ambrotypes, salted papers, gum dichromate, Van Dykes, platinum and palladium prints, collodion—to name a few. Most of these processes are long gone—practiced only by a very few artisans who keep the art alive.
The Keepers of Light is really two books in one. The first part is a wonderful history of photography during the first century of its development. It weaves two skeins in its narrative—the technical aspects, as we move from Daguerreotype to wet collodion to dry collodion, from salted papers to gravure to platinum emulsion; and the artistic aspects: the movement from portraitists to naturalists to pictorialists to Stieglitz and Strand. Any art is heavily influenced by its technical capabilities, be it music, imagery, or even dance, and photography is no exception. The photographs made by these early practitioners took their current technical capabilities and wrote (and rewrote) the rules of form. This is the first book I have seen that weaves these histories together so thoroughly.
The second half of the book is a tutorial of the techniques themselves. Thus one just doesn't read about photogravure as practiced by Karl Klic, there is a step-by-step section on how to perform it oneself. Be warned—these aren't easy and the results are definitely an acquired taste.
There are other books that teach these old processes. And each one may handle a specific topic better; but I believe that The Keepers of Light covers the field very well, and should be the first stop on an exploration of alternative processes.
Pros: The book on alternative processes. Great historical perspective as well.
Cons: I haven't found any yet.
Please note that the thumbnail of the book cover is for the 2 nd edition—see note on this edition at the end of this review.
Ctein is probably most famous as a dye-transfer printer, which is a color technique that yields beautiful prints but requires a great deal of expertise. I know him as a magazine writer (from the dear-departed "Camera & Darkroom" and the more recent "Photo Techniques"); any time I see his name on the Contents, I know I'll be in for some kind of treat.
Most photography books are introductions or surveys—Post Exposure is Graduate School—serious students only. It's all about printing, both B&W and color (though color gets the lion's share), the articles dare to take the reader to another level of performance. Consider the topic, "Save a Tree: Learn to Print" about wasting test-prints, whether to filter variable-contrast papers above or below the lens, color film masking, and how to choose and test enlarging lenses. If you're comfortable in your darkroom, this is the next step.
But it's not for the faint of heart. Ctein is a pro and holds a higher standard than most; reading this book often makes me despair that everything I own is junk or hopelessly out of kilter. Two subjects in particular, one on enlarging lens misalignment and another on light-meter calibration make me wonder how I ever got anything done. On the other hand, Ctein offers methods for testing each. And this is just in the early stages of the book. Here's one that made my hair fall out in clumps—the very end of the book, "Choosing the Right Lighting for Viewing Prints"—aka if it's bright enough for you to see good shadow tone separation, you're killing your print.
Likewise, the book is technical. Beautifully printed and illustrated, but be ready for those H&D curves and lots of them. Plus test strips, tables, and data, data, data. But then, this is an advanced book. If you want something light, go read The Joy of Photography.
Pros: Great printing information you won't find anywhere else.
Cons: May make you want to junk everything you own.
Note on 2nd Edition: this is available as a free PDF download on Ctein's website. with the author's blessing. Go get it before he changes his mind.
I hate the title of this book—it gives the impression that it should be read after mastering The Zone System, or that this is some alternative that frees us from the tyranny of it. Instead, this is the best (that I've read) book about learning The Zone System. But of course there are 500 other books with "Zone System" in the title—you gotta make yourself stand out somehow.
The late Phil Davis was highly regarded as one of the best teachers of the method, and this book is single-minded in that purpose. Ansel Adams's The Negative also walks the reader through The Zone System, but Beyond the Zone System is much more a text book. The subject is broken up into easily manageable bites which are then thoroughly discussed—and each chapter ends with a series of exercises to drill the lessons home. If you get through this book, you'll have the subject down cold.
The only real problem I have is that it's printed on regular paper, instead of the glossy, high-quality paper. It's fine for text and for charts and illustrations, but the photograph reproductions are beyond terrible. At least in The Negative or Post Exposure the reader can look hard at the examples and get a sense of the tonal separations discussed in the narrative (The Negative is particularly good about this). In this book—forget it. If you find yourself struggling to visualize the difference between Zones I, II and III or VII, VIII and IX, these photos probably won't help. If any book cried out for a section of high-quality "plates," this book is it.
Those murky photos aren't exactly inspiring either. I'm plotting curve after curve after curve so I can make that?
Still, I wouldn't trade the book for anything. Between this one and The Negative, the reader will be well schooled in the art and science of sensitometry.
Note: My copy is the 3rd edition. There's a 4th edition which I have not seen: I don't know if the photograph quality is any better in that edition.
Pros: About as lucid and thorough as you'll find.
Cons: Poor quality photo reproduction.
I purchased this off the internet thinking it was a companion to hand-held exposure meters and wanted it for my Light Meter collection. Had I known what it really was, I would have bought it decades ago.
This is a series, in-depth discussion of photographic exposure. You might say that the subject is covered in other books—yes, but most books just cover the fundamentals. This is encyclopedic. They cover the role of exposure on film, how exposure relates to density, how film speeds and curves are measured, and so on. They discuss hand-held meters, both reflecting and incident, spot meters and TTL camera systems of the day.
This is the 3rd edition, published in 1974. The first is from 1952 and the second is 1958 and I haven't seen them so I can't compare. This version was co-written with Dr. George Wakefield (who wrote Exposure Control in Enlarging) and has been extensively modernized.
It's an impressive book: it's filled with charts, graphs, sample photographs and diagrams. The entire book is printed on high quality glossy paper so that the sample prints are clear and understandable; so many older books on photography are printed on inexpensive paper and the example prints look muddy and awful. Notes in the text and captions link everything together. This is a very well thought-out, presented book.
Large amounts of the book are obviously dated, but not quite obsolete. While the authors anchor much of their practical discussion using the materials of their times such as the Weston Euro-Master, the concepts are still valid; we still use reflected light, incident and spot readings today. We have more options and some are more complicated, but the basic concepts are still valid and, IMO, usually poorly explained and hazily understood.
I'd love to see this book revised and applied to DSLRs, because much of the information is still valid and applicable; and it seems like the amount of "serious" photographic infomation published declines each year, and serious students of photography are having to reinvent the wheel because the old knowledge is simply not being passed along.
Pros: Not for beginners, but a hell of a book on exposure's effects, its measurements and methods. Highly recommended.
Cons: Somewhat obsolete, but less than you might think.
Andreas Feininger: Successful Photography, Successful Color Photography and The Creative Photographer
Feininger's instructional books carry different titles depending on the publisher; in particular it appears that US and UK editions often have different, yet similar titles. Rather than really stoke the confusion, I'm giving the titles for the editions that I personally have—some US, some UK.
Andreas Feininger was quite a character. He was born in Paris, grew up and educated in Germany, but his parents were Americans of German ancestry. His father Lyonel was a famous artist and instructor.
Andreas studied architecture in Germany but couldn't find work in the gloomy (European) 20s. He eventually moved to Sweden where prospects were no better, but made a living as an architectural photographer. When World War II broke out and foreigners were not allowed to carry cameras for fear of espionage, he went to the United States. He joined the staff of the legendary Life magazine where he became one of their celebrity photographers for the next twenty years.
In addition to publishing collections of his work, he wrote books on instruction as well, and was a long-time columnist for Popular Photography. His technical books began with Feininger on Photography (1949) and Advanced Photography in 1952.
My books pick up after this point, when he wrote a trilogy called Successful Photography, Successful Color Photography and The Creative Photographer. The first of the series was a book about technique and skewed toward B&W. The second was the same but dealt with color. The last was a book about the art of photography, the hows and whys: what makes a photo, what makes a good photo, what makes an exceptional one. It was not a book about technique—it was about photography independent of the equipment used to make the image.
Feininger's books were excellent texts on technology and technique, though they had the problem of all how-to texts in becoming obsolete as time passed. He tried to not to tie himself down to specific makes, models and brands, which gave his books longer lives but they still became dated. Still, they offer a lot of useful information even today because a lot of the basic information—how exposure works, the behavior of lenses, color theory, etc., doesn't change. Those of us who still shoot film still use filters. Those of us who shoot digital still use filters, or use an in-camera equivalent, for various effects. Feininger's explanations still hold.
The books are dry and not as heavily illustrated as modern volumes, which makes less lively and colorful. Feininger's writing is very straightfoward and impersonal. I think they're better than Ansel Adams's series from the mid-50s, largely because Adams mostly wrote about equipment and practices, but very little about art. Feininger, particularly in the The Creative Photographer, tackles the subject of what makes great images, what makes great prints, and so on.
Feininger's books sold very well, and they're still found on library shelves and often at used bookstores. The titles are often similar enough that it's difficult to tell them apart—when I see them at used bookstores for sale I still struggle to remember which I have and which ones I'm missing. But while they're very dated, I think they're worth a read (especially if you can get one from a library for free). There's a lot of gold still in these rivers.
Andreas Feininger: The Complete Photographer and The Complete Color Photographer
Feininger began the The Creative Photographer with this comment:
This is a summing up. It is the last book on photographic topics that the author intends to write. From now on, whatever he has to say, he will say with his photographs.
Obviously that wasn't the case. He wrote columns for Popular Photography and Modern Photography for decades, he tweaked his books with subsequent editions, and about 10 years after his Successful Photography came out, he began a full revision which he named The Complete Photographer.
I don't know who came up with the titles, but I've always found them confusing. It's always been difficult for me to remember which ones I have and which I do not. Luckily the books were big sellers and now are inexpensive on the used market, so I don't have to risk a lot of money if I buy something I already have.
The The Complete Photographer supersedes The Creative Photographer, and to a lesser extent the other two books in that trilogy. The Complete Photographer talks about the state of the art as it was in the mid-1960s, and includes a shorter (but still interesting) section on the art of photography. Again Feininger tries to discuss the nuts and bolts without tying himself too much to specific equipment which will become obsolete, and with about the same success as before. Many subjects, like exposure, are still valid. Many things, like flash photography, were quickly antiquated (it's amazing to see the speed of fundamental change from early flash bulbs to later flash bulbs, mini-bulbs, cubes, and electronic strobes. Things didn't stabilize again until the 70s when electronic flash really took over).
It's with this series that Feininger introduces a new feature, cross-referencing. The margin of the text included page numbers for topics that were defined or mentioned elsewhere. So on page 102 he mentions fish-eye lenses, with a cross-reference in the margin to page 343; on page 343 there's a much longer discussion on fish-eye lenses.
In 1969 he released The Complete Color Photographer, though I have a British edition; it appears that in the US and elsewhere it may have been Basic Color Photography or The Color Photo Book (as it refers to itself in its own notes on page 1!). Oy vey. Regardless, this book was, by Feininger's own design, a rewrite and replacement for Successful Color Photography, The Creative Photographer and The Complete Photographer, but with an emphasis on color work, not B&W.
The Complete Color Photographer reads very much like The Complete Photographer, except that the color editon is about three times as thick. Like The Complete Photographer it has cross-referencing in the margins, and it has sections dealing on the art of photography, not just the craft.
How does it compare with Ansel Adams's series? I think they're better than the ones from the 1950s. I think the Adams books in the early 1980s are better for technique and equipment, but they lack the discussion of art and style that Feininger liked to include.
If you want only one of Feininger's instructional books, I suggest this one (at least from among the ones I've read). It's the latest of the series so it's the least obsolete, it has a wealth of information that is still current, and it's encyclopedic in its scope and presentation.
Pros: Encyclopedic, thorough; covers areas (e.g why a photograph succeeds or fails) that most other books neglect; very inexpensive on the used market
Cons: Much of the technical info is obsolete; dry and under-illustrated by modern standards
From the 1950s through the 1980s, Kodak sold a number of highly regarded technical books that they called "photoguides." They were notebooks: collections of data and tools to help photographers on a variety of levels. They had a small Masterguide, which had information of exposure, filters, flash. Their Darkroom Dataguides dealt with printing and processing. The Professional Photoguide was the Masterguide for advanced work.
They all pretty much disappeared, but in 2006 they brought this out, the masterguide for the 21st century. As with its predecessors, it is spiral bound to lay flat while open, its pages are heavy card, sections are tabbed and color coded, and there is a wealth of data and old-fashioned dial calculators for solving the problems your camera can't do itself.
It's not really a text book, it's a very boiled-down summary of information meant to be fast and helpful rather than encyclopedic. Many of the sections, like the one on Sensors, are interesting but are meant simply as a quick introduction or memory-jogger. The real value, in my opinion, is in the charts and calculators.
The Flash section is a typical example of what you get: It begins with a quick explanation of Guide Numbers (GN) and how to use them, and follows with a little table on how to adjust GN for different ISO speeds. After that there are suggestions for correcting flash exposure for different room and subject conditions and how to deal with subjects that are different distances from the flash. There's also information on using bounce, umbrellas, close-up and fill. And there's a dial calculator (see image at left) to solve various problems.
The dial calculator illustrates what's both excellent and lacking in this book. The calculator solves a variety of problems, but the markings are small (particularly in the fill-flash section)--I'm at a point in my life where I find this stuff very difficult to read in anything other than full sunlight. It would have been nice if it had been a little bit larger.
Also they really needed a section of instructions on how to use the calculator. A great example is at the very top: set ISO at BCPS for electronic flash unit. Know what BCPS? I didn't--it's not mentioned in the Digiguide; I had to look it up in a photo encyclopedia. (Beam Candle Power Seconds.) Most of the rest you can noodle through if you take the time and you can actually read the scales.
In fairness, the other calculators aren't so bad, though they may be more complicated (like the one for close-up exposure, p.52). The regular text print is small but still legible, and allowed them to keep the physical size of the book down so it's more likely to fit in a camera bag.
Other than the flash calculator's readability, my only disappointment is that they left out a copy of a gray card, which was a mainstay in earlier photoguides. I keep my Color Darkroom Dataguide in my camera bag simply for the gray card and gray-scale/color scale pages it included. I was hoping this would have the same.
As mentioned before, this is not a textbook or an introductory guide, it's really a notebook of information meant to help solve problems or quickly answer questions (BCPS aside) without going into a lot of detail. For what it is, I think it's great and well worth the less than $20 cost. Considering the price of many photo books is over $35, it's a bargain.
Pros: A great guidebook of data and calculators for solving problems; will fit in many camera bags
Cons: some of the calculators are too small and hard to read, overly complicated and under-explained
I believe this book was offered as a freebie or very cheap as the introduction to a book club, which is why it's so commonly found at used bookstores these days. This was printed in 1945 so it's very dated.
The book is really like several issues of general-interest photo magazines of the era all bound together. It's a collection of articles on various subjects, from simple portrature to special light sources, black and white and color, from how to build a darkroom to photographing movie stunts. There are photogravure along with how-tos, so few stones are left unturned.
It's largely of interest now only to those of us who are interested in photo history and techniques. Some sections, such as those on lighting, never change, but modern readers will likely find the writing (and the photo reproductions) flat and uninspiring.
I was lucky enough to find this back when I wanted to do color darkroom work. It's an excellent introduction into both the theory and practice of creating color photos. The first chapter is the most useful now because it's the least obsolete: a discussion of additive and subtractive color systems, how color films and papers work, how negatives and reversals (direct positive) systems work. Subject chapters deal with equipment, materials and how to get it done.
Color darkroom work has mostly been killed off by Photoshop, but if you still want to try your hand, this is a valuable book all the way through. Even though some of the papers and chemistry are no longer used, the heavy equipment (enlargers, color analyzers, drums and trays) are still available and perfectly good. The concepts of color filtration packs, how to make print, how to correct, are still applicable. The book is particularly rich in its survey of equipment and how to use it.
It's also got an interesting hodge-podge of equipment data that usually doesn't show up in other books of this type. The section on color analyzers not only discusses then-current machines like Omega's Simtron II and Chromegatron, but includes an exploded parts diagram and an electrical schematic for each. There are manufacturer's specs for a number of enlargers, including Beselers, Dursts and Omegas, and a survey of the color analyzers of the time--not just the Beseler PMs and the Omegas, but Corsar Mornicks, EPOIs and Minolta's analyzer show up as well.
It's well illustrated, clean, bright and colorful and well put-together. It's also over 30 years old (as I type this) and last time I checked the on-line bookstores, good copies were selliing for under $10. I think that's a bargain.
Pros: Very good introduction to how color works. Very good eference for equipment that is still available.
Cons: Mostly obsolete, particularly when discussing materials and chemistry that are no longer produced.
Fred Picker is almost completely forgotten now, but for awhile he was one of the most controversial and opinionated men in fine-art photography. It used to be a hoot to read the magazines after one of his articles would appear, because the letters-to-the-editor columns would froth for months afterward.
Picker was a fine-art photographer and a disciple of the Zone System; so much so that he named his outfitting company Zone VI Labs. They sold photographic equipment that was tailored to the needs of fine-art photographers, in particular cold-light enlarging heads and modified exposure meters that calculated in zones.
One of the problems with the Zone System is that it's often poorly explained, it looks overly complicated, and is so often wrapped up in art ideology that it feels like one is being indoctrinated into the mysteries of a secret society from which there's no turning back.
This book was Picker's attempt to explain the Zone System in a way that was easily understood and accessible, without all the f/64-crowd rigamarole that normally accompanies it. The book is slim and a quick read, and it's written in a terse, no-nonsense style. It takes you through exposure, development and printing in short, practical steps. It doesn't really get into athestics at all. It's only about technique. If you want Picker's infamous opinions about art, you need to look elsewhere.
The latter half the book is largely a catalog of Zone VI products. On the surface it seems like just a glorified advertisement, but this was very common practice. I have a number of books that are discuss equipment and technique, but are really just showcases for selling a line of product. Kodak sold tons of books, pamphlets, and newsletters on photographic art and technique using Kodak products. The problem with all of these is that they become obsolete as equipment is dicontinued; Zone VI was absorbed by Calumet many years ago, and their equipment now exists mainly on eBay and camera stores' Used inventory.
Likewise, the first section is rapidly going away as B&W film disappears. Yet the Zone System is, and still can be, useful, and Ithink this book is an interesting and readable introduction to it. Ansel Adams's later The Negative and The Print books are better written and more profusely illustrated; Phil Davis's Beyond the Zone System is more thorough and exhaustive, but this is still quick and easy.
Pros: Fast and very readable introduction to The Zone System without all the crap.
Cons: Most of the equipment is obsolete; you need to read it for the concept instead of practical application.
Over the years I've seen a great deal in print about exposure, development and handling of film, but relatively little about paper. Amateurs (and professionals who don't have to produce large volumes) tend to work by trial and error: making test prints and tweaking the exposure until it's right. Because B&W paper tends to process quickly, it's easy to work that way. It wasn't until color printing became widely popular, which is much more time consuming and expensive, that people seriously invested in darkroom meters.
This book from 1972 deals with metering systems for darkroom work in both the B&W and color lab. It discusses things I've seen only lightly touched upon (if at all—the use of light meters to determine print exposure; different methods; the relative advantage of one method over another; and a short description of commercially available meters and discussion on how to build them from scratch.
It's interesting stuff, though very dry. There are numerous characteristic curve charts, and various ways to measuring the curves. Dr. Wakefield discusses the relative values of Dmin, Dmax, ΔD, D-bar and ΔD-bar, in what sometimes becomes a sea of Ds. Ultimately it makes sense, but I found it took a couple readings to get it straight and several more to keep it straight. It's work, but if you are following along with what he's trying to explain, it is worth the effort.
A significant portion of the book deals with meters and metering systems. As Dr. Wakefield is English, the book describes a series a meters I'd never heard of: the Corfield Lumimeter, a Melico, a Philips PDT, the Revomatic (shown on the cover). I'm surprised that the Atlantic seriously separated the US from Britain in terms of darkroom electronics, I'd heard of none of these, and Wakefield made no mention of long-lived American classics like the Haynes photo-meter, the Spot-o-Matic, the Photoval, Colorval, or the Gossen Labosix. It makes me thing that they were simply unavailble, or so rare in England that he thought it worthless to even mention them in passing.
The plans are interesting. As the book deals with both spot and integrating/averaging metering systems, he offers plans for both types. The simplest is little more than a CdS cell directly hooked to an ohmmeter, and the user must translate the resistance into a useful light value (or create a custom meter face for direct reading). There is also a more elaborate machine, plus a vertical integrated job that uses a standard Weston Master exposure meter as its brain. Interesting stuff, but CdS technology has since been (happily) replaced by silicon blue sensors; something that occurred after the book's publication, so there's no mention of how to deal with them.
If you strip out the practical applications, there's still enough theory in the book to make an interesting, if dry, read. It discusses the ups and downs of measuring a spot vs. integrating and averaging; and if you're going to measure a spot, then the advantages and disadvantages of which values to read. It's a subject I've seen rarely discussed at all and never in depth.
Pros: Information on a subject I rarely see discussed anywhere else. The theory portions are useful if you're still doing darkroom work and want to understand how to properly use a darkroom photometer.
Cons: Mostly obsolete, though the theories can still be applied to modern materials and equipment if you want to make the effort.

A postman wrote
With his scarred face, languorous delivery and fondness for booze, the late German-American writer Charles Bukowski perfected a template for the skid-row lowlife. Some might consider him a Beat poet, but he doesn't quite fit with the expansive joie de vivre of it all. While Kerouac went out on the road to seek enlightenment, Bukowski left home because there was no place else to go.
He stayed in motels and flophouses. Drank alone with the blinds pulled down, while Beethoven and Brahms blasted out of a transistor radio. In Philadelphia, he spent two-and-a-half years in a bar, fighting the landlord and running errands in exchange for free beer. Yet, with a bit of help from John Fante, the novelist who gave him his plain talkin' style, he defined the American underclass in his novels and poems, as he set about putting his experiences down on paper.
Bukowski's Los Angeles could be seen as the inverse companion of David Lynch's. While the movies are surreal explorations of the darkness behind the scenes of LA's rich, Bukowski breathed beer-stained life into autobiographical stories about the nobodies who posted their mail and packaged their meat in warehouses. Yet during the '80s he befriended the Hollywood elite, hanging out with Sean Penn and Madonna and writing a book based on his experiences: Hollywood. He had contempt for the fakes, once telling the future Governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, that he was 'a piece of shit'.
He was flawed: he womanised; he gambled; he drank - a lot. His fondness for the bottle came, he said, to avoid committing suicide. Throughout his life the abiding influence on his writing was the incredible cruelty he suffered as a child: his father converted the bathroom into a torture chamber in which he would belt him until welts and bruises covered the young Bukowski's body, his mother looking on. Consequently his writing embodied his disgust with hollow men who, like his father, exerted power over those below them simply because they could.
Inflated pride thrives on cheap brutality, and Bukowski knew it. But for all his nihilism, he was never cruel, just honest. Today, in London streets that reek of LA ersatz-ness, we could all do with a bit more of that.

4After by Amy Efaw. I loved loved loved this book. It blew my mind. Made me think about the world in a whole new light. Caused me to rethink every judgment I'd ever passed on any other person.
3The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini. Tough to get myself to read because a story about the war-torn Middle East didn't sound appealing to me at all, but I'm glad I finally picked it up. It kept me reading all night long. Made me cry. Made me want to change the world. Took me deep into the emotional recesses of one man's heart. I adore this book.
2Speak by Laurie Halse Anderson. Another book that totally tugged at my heartstrings and made me rethink my perception of the world. It made me think back to all of the people I wrongly judged back in my high school years, made me wonder what their stories must have truly been. The language the author uses and the way she writes is beautiful. Read this book.
1Ella Enchanted by Gail Carson Levine. This book is my all-time favorite girly book. I read it in middle school and fell in love with it--more than a decade later, and I still love it. I'll probably love it til the day I die. Don't watch the movie. Read the book. You'll thank me later.
What are your favorite books?
Have you read and fallen in love with Ella Enchanted?
What's your ultimate weakness?

Back in 2018 I made a list of popular books that I certainly won’t read. If you want to see that list for yourself you can find it here. I thought it would be a fun idea to make a list of popular books that I haven’t yet that I might or might not read. So I’m bringing you 5 books that are quite popular and yet I haven’t gotten around reading them.
Circe by Madeline Miller
This book is nearly 2 years old, loved by many in the community and been on my TBR since it was announced yet I still haven’t gotten around reading it. Hopefully this will change this year! I’ll really try to prioratize getting to it!
The Cruel Prince by Holly Black
A very polarizing book but seems like everyone and even their grandma has read it, except me. To be honest I’m kind of scared of picking this one up, especially seeing how loved it is in the community. We will see if I ever get around reading it.
The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern
This book is widely loved by everyone in the community, I somehow never gotten around reading it. And now Erin Morgenstern has a new book out. I would like to try this book, just to see if I like it as much as almost everyone or not.
The Poppy War by R. F. Kuang
This book has been really big, it’s even getting translated to Hungarian and I still haven’t gotten around reading it… There is no excuse to it honestly, especially because I feel like I’d love it! Definitely will try to get to this one too this year!
An Enchantment of Ravens by Margaret Rogerson
Last year I read Rogerson’s other book, Sorcery of Thorns and did not enjoy it as much as others in the community. This is another rather popular one by her and to be honest, I’m not really sure if I want to read it or not. However I’ll be keeping it on my TBR for a little longer. The cover is absolutely gorgeous!
These are five of the popular books I haven’t gotten around reading just yet. What are 5 popular books you haven’t gotten around reading yet?

Q&A with Koa Beck: “I knew that if I executed the book the way that I wanted to ... I could no longer be the "face" of any women's media brand.”
I mainlined Koa’s book over a v. isolated holiday break at home; as someone who considers themselves pretty above-average informed on identity politics, I didn’t expect to find the reading as shocking (or exhaustively maddening) as I did. What White Feminism does very well is to take the puzzle pieces most of us have half-picked up along the way — everything from hot takes on The Wing to historic fissures in the suffrage movement— and fit them together.
So it felt like a treat and a continued lesson to get to chat with Koa about the central themes of White Feminism — as well as the personal and professional context surrounding her book. Enjoy!
There’s this spectacular line about halfway through White Feminism that really sums up one of the central theses of your book for me, which is that the mainstream feminism we know so well has always been a movement designed by and for women of privilege — i.e., affluent, able-bodied, cis-gender, straight white women.
The line is from a woman in response to journalist/essayist Ellen Willis’s piece “Economic Realities and the Limits of Feminism” that was published in a 1973 issue, and it says: “Frankly, if Women’s Liberation means sacrificing what I have, I’m not interested.”
As I was reading through the book and seeing all the ways that line basically manifests itself over and over in history, I was very curious about how your thinking around truly inclusive feminism may have changed while writing this book.
I found Willis's piece early on in my research and when I came upon that line, it was pivotal. I felt like history was telling me I was on the right track.
From the time I was in college and onward, the mantra in fourth-wave mainstream feminist spaces and conversations has also been that of "inclusivity" and "diversity" and making sure every "feminist" panel has like one Black woman on it. (Later, this methodology graduated to having like one trans person as well).
But while researching this book and trying to draw paremeters around the white feminist ideology, I learned rather acutely that white feminism was explicitly founded on very specific values, principals, and strategies for achieving gender equality that are not available or even consider many women and non-binary people. To that end, I think if you're operating within a white feminist approach, you're always going to end up at anomolies: one Black woman on a panel of all white, middle-class women, one trans person in department of all cis people, etc. Marginalized people are always going to be ornamental in this lens because their needs as marginalized genders were never central to white feminist practices to begin with.
A truly inclusive feminism is not just possible — in a lot of ways it has happened already, just not under white feminism: many other movements lead by queer women, Native women, Chicanas, disabled, immigrant and working-class women through history have demonstrated a herculean ability to work together to achieve all kinds of wins across race and orientation and gender identity, which I get into in the book to demonstrate white feminism's shortcomings and ideological weaknesses. But these aren't the types of feminisms you're going to see on a tote bag.
Was there any intention to balance the way this book speaks to those who’ve benefited from mainstream feminism versus, as the subtitle says, “who they leave behind”?
I identified many different intersecting needs when sitting down to write this book. Many POC or gender non-conforming people in my own life already know what white feminism is and what it feels like to be around it, but they don't necessarily know the historical origins of this ideology and how that exact approach plays out a century later when we talk about Women's March or the wage gap. They sometimes interpret this flippantly as "white women being terrible" or a joke about Lena Dunham, but the white feminist ideology goes a lot deeper than that.
White feminism isn't about one person behaving poorly or making obtuse comments; it's an ideology and a way of envisioning and approaching gender equality that is so much bigger than one individual's ignorance and that needs to be more widely understood in dismantling white feminism. I think the book has the capacity to be deeply illuminating to white feminists or white-aspiring people have found themselves wading through white feminist discourse, but also to POC who have had uncomfortable exchanges with a feminist coworkers or friends and can't quite articulate why.
Right, I thought a lot about how my experience reading this book would be pretty different from say that of my white friends.
Different dimensions of the book speak to different people. Self-identified fat queer book bloggers are DMing me about different passages than the white, cis mom book bloggers in the midwest. But they are both telling me that they are learning to identify white feminism when they see it and have finished the book knowing that white feminism is not the way forward. I would like to think that the book attunes to whatever frequency you're operating from, if you've read all of Audre Lorde's poems or have maybe never heard of Sylvia Rivera.
Keeping all this in mind, I think the primary audience for the book is anyone who hears the word "white feminism" and has complex feelings about it.
Much of this book is spent drawing direct lines from the broader history of feminism to your own experiences as a biracial queer woman in the media industry, and you speak quite personally to a lot of these experiences. You don’t name names per se, but you do mention publication titles.
Was there a calculation you made on how to do this and how it might affect future opportunities in media once this book came out?
Not directly, no, primarily because I knew that I would effectively retire from leadership positions in media in the event that the book was purchased. I knew that if I executed the book the way that I wanted to, with the essential points I wanted to make, I could no longer be the "face" of any women's media brand in a senior leadership capacity, because my book would overlap too much with the responsibilities of inflating that specific brand and introduce other politics.
I've always considered my media roles to be the first leg of my career; it was my warming up period, especially as a writer. I've always kept one eye on transitioning out mostly because I figured out quite early in my career that media would burn through me and discard me if I closed my eyes.
I had significant institutional support to pull this off. In the spring of 2019, I was awarded the Joan Shorenstein Fellowship at the Harvard Kennedy School to do all the critical research for White Feminism, which in turn, made it possible for me to quit my job and dedicate myself wholly to the integrity of the book. I encourage your readers to look into applying to the fellowship if they have books or other projects that they would like to focus on. As somebody who ran websites for 10 years, I got a lot out of turning off my phone and going into a library for six hours a day.
Part of the stipulations of my fellowship were that I had to write a formal Harvard paper on how white feminism functions as an editorial strategy, available to cite by students and professors. Some of this analysis and writing is in the book as well, but the paper is free to download and read if your readers are interested in the more academic remix.
But dumb media dynamics aside, I knew intuitively that it would be a major omission for me not to include my own experiences with white feminism. I know how this ideology works on a structural level, but also on a one-to-one level. I know what the casual racism in a Slack channel feels like. I know what the dismissal of lesbian relationships sounds like in feminist spaces.
To fully comprehend how this practice functions, I think you should see that. Whatever personal costs I "suffer" in my lifetime is worth their longevity in writing them down for the broader archive.
Another central throughline in White Feminism covers how brands have sanitized what originally began as a radical ideology into products to buy and own and to be seen with. I’m curious how this might have informed your own thinking about your book as a “product” itself in our modern feminist marketplace.
I appreciate this question deeply as I was very adamant from the onset that we would not be using white feminism to sell a book on white feminism. I'm not approving any #WhiteFeminism water bottles any time soon but, as the book explores with other enterprises, this could very well happen whether I want it to or not.
I signed a contract that does make this book a product unequivocally and I'm very pragmatic about that. But as the author, I'm working to make sure White Feminism has an existence outside of the limitations of a product and exists as an archive. I've had an active library card since I was in the third grade and awhile back, I looked into donating additional copies of White Feminism to public libraries to cut down on wait times (I waited upwards of 10 months for Michelle Obama's memoir). But, I was ultimately told my donations could not be accepted.
I'm also trying to get the book to as many young people as possible, specifically those getting involved in union organizing and changing a lot of workplaces to let them know that they are in good company and on the right side of gender rights and also to pick up some additional strategies from those who came before them. I find these are the moments when my book is not a product because it's not transactional; it becomes a learning tool and a record of gender rights, wins, and practices. It becomes passed-on knowledge.
I know book covers largely aren’t usually under the author’s dictate, but in this context, I’m curious if the cover aesthetic of White Feminism was made purposefully sparse, in a way that maybe defies the performative commuter read phenomenon.
I love simple typographical book covers with sharp colors, and my editor, Michelle Herrera Mulligan, agreed with me early on that a typographical cover would be best. When my publisher asked me for my design input (which my book contract guarantees me by the way), I sent them a picture of my vintage copy of Women, Race & Class by Angela Davis. I'm also a big Eve Babitz reader and I really love the covers of the recent reissues of her work, which I also forwarded to the publisher for inspiration.
But what Min Choi, the cover designer, ultimately developed and shared with me was well beyond my expectations: it is the perfect artistic representation for my thesis. She nailed so much about the ideology, its prominence, how it looms and dominates with a single image. I've also chosen to interpret the red-ish strokes on the book as smudged lipstick, which I also find to be a smart visual critique of white feminism.
Conversely, with its simple lines and touches of red, my wife says the book looks like me.
My favorite parts of the book were all the miniature history lessons I’d never learned before: the 1902 women-led kosher meat boycott in New York, the purposefully anti-corporate origins of the Dyke March in 1993, the 504 sit-in for disability civil rights in 1977, for example. During your research for this book, was there any particularly find that will remain indelible on your brain going forward?
It’s that while white feminism has proved incredibly adept at adapting with the times, trends, and current jargon, its principals have literally always been the same. What the white, middle to upper-class suffragists were advocating for is what the Lean In crowd has been advocating for. What Betty Friedan was talking about is what Anne-Marie Slaughter was talking about.
While the rebrand is tactful, the core values and mechanics have not evolved in a century. Once I finished the research of this book, that became the thing I could not un-know or look away from: it's not a very innovative way to approach gender inequality and never has been.


Practicing Excellence, Authentically and Soulfully
By Ralph L. Crowder, Ph.D.
During the late nineteenth century, Edward Wilmot Blyden (1832-1912) was the best known and highly respected African intellectual in the Western world. Blyden was born on August 3, 1832 in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands. His free and literate parents were of Ibo descent. In 1851, he emigrated to Liberia, which had become an independent republic only four years earlier, after the settlement of freed African American slaves.
In an illustrious sixty-one year career, Blyden established himself as one of Africa’s leading diplomats, journalists, scholars, and educators. In addition to rigorous lecture tours at home and abroad, Blyden held the following important offices in Liberia: professor of classics (1862-1871); president of Liberia College (1880-1884); secretary of state (1864-1866) and minister of the interior (1880-1882), minister to Britain (1877-1878 and 1892), and minister plenipotentiary to London and Paris (1905).
Unlike his peers in the West, Blyden articulated a vision of African development that profoundly disagreed with conventional views. His often controversial positions were discussed in the numerous books and pamphlets that he published, including A Voice from Bleeding Africa (1856), Liberia’s Offering (1862), the Negro in Ancient History (1869), The West African University (1872), From West Africa to Palestine (1873), Christianity, Islam and the Negro Race (1887), the Jewish Question (1898), West Africa before Europe (1905), and Africa Life and Customs (1908).
Blyden, who was a nominal Christian, argued that a legion of Christianized and Western educated “Negroes” would not lead Africa to the promise land of modernity and continental development. He argued that Christianity has had a demoralizing effect on blacks whereas Islam, on the other hand, has had a unifying and elevating impact. He also believed that education was being used as one of the critical instruments to support and continue the colonization and exploitation of Africa. According to him, “All educated Negroes suffer from a kind of slavery in many ways far more subversive of the real welfare of the race than the ancient physical fetters. The slavery of the mind is far more destructive than that of the body.”
As an educator and college president, Blyden waged a battle for what he called the “decolonization of the African mind.” In his 1881 Inaugural Address as the newly installed president of Liberia College, he talked about his vision of independent African colleges producing a new generation of African youth. He declared, “It is our hope and expectation that there will rise up men, aided by institution and culture, …imbued with public spirit, who will know how to live and work and prosper… how to triumph by intelligence, by tact, by industry, by perseverance, over the indifference of their own people, and how to overcome the scorn and opposition of the enemies of the race…”
Blyden argued that education “should aim…not simply [for the provision of] information, but [for] the formation of the mind. The formation of the mind being secured, the information will take care of itself. Mere information of itself is not power – but the ability to know how to use that information – and this ability belongs to the mind that is disciplined, trained, [and] formed. It may be a pleasant pastime to store the mind with facts…but if the mind is not trained to apply them, they will lie there like so much useless lumber.”
Through the proper educational curriculum and sensitivity to the value of native African culture, Blyden believed that a generation of African leaders and scholars could be groomed to defeat colonialism and embrace modernity that could be blended with native cultural resources. He maintained that the core of Africa’s educational curriculum should be based upon traditional concepts of education. At its core, this curriculum must acknowledge that, “the African view of the universe is based upon the truth that man, nature, the universe, and God are in harmony. There is no alienation. The basic mode[s] of human action [are] cooperation, peace, and building great projects. Th[ese are] diametrically opposed by the European worldview which sees man as alienated from God, at war with nature, and surrounded by an indifferent universe.”
Blyden was a pioneer in the struggle to liberate and decolonize the African mind, and to establish an independent African educational institution. At the turn of the century, he stood alone with his articulate defense of traditional African cultural institutions and their compatibility with modernity. In 1893 Blyden issued this challenge to the African world:
“It is sad to think that there are some Africans, especially among those who have enjoyed the advantages of foreign training, who are blind enough to the radical facts of humanity as to say, ‘Let us do away with our African personality and be lost, if possible, in another race’. Preach this doctrine as much as you like, no one will do it, for no one can do it, for when you have done away with your personality, you have done away with yourselves. Your place has been assigned you in the universe as Africans, and there is no room for you as anything else.”
Ralph L. Crowder is a Professor of Ethnic Studies at University of California, Riverside. His latest book, John Edward Bruce: Politician, Journalist, and Self-Trained Historian of the African Diaspora was published in 2004 by New York University Press.

A Dallas Jewish Journey takes you from the first jew in Dallas, Alex Simon, to Soviet Jewry's flight for freedom - and beyond.
Rare archival photos and footage accompanied by original music bring to life the colorful and poignant story of the challenges and growth of the Dallas Jewish community from 1858 through today.
Its history shows a pattern: new arrivals get the help they need from those who came before them, then willingly help those who come after them. As the legacy of many whose stories are already told lives on, new stories are being written today, and added to the archives of the Dallas Jewish Historical Society. The Dallas Jewish Journey is already moving on into the future!

In this exploration we take a look back at the life and death of child star Carl “Alfalfa” Switzer. We will examine his life from its beginning in Paris, Illinois on to Hollywood where he rose to the heights of stardom as a member of Hal Roach’s “Our Gang.” From there we follow him as his life and career fell to ruin. Finally, we explore the events that brought his life to its tragic conclusion at the end of a gun. Along the way we will also meet some of the people who changed his life forever, including the man who killed him. It’s an unbelievable story that has the Hollywood ending that is never written about. If you think you know the story, guess again. Come walk with me...

The Journey of the African-American Athlete (1996)
Inspired by Arthur Ashe's three volume A Hard Road to Glory: A History of the African-American Athlete, this cable documentary from 1996 remains definitive. The African-American athlete is today a much-loved hero in American sports. In fields as diverse as tennis, football, basketball, baseball, track and more, the men and women who led the way and those who followed have become icons the world over. But the adoration we accept today was once rejection as these athletes undertook the struggle to meet their fellow competitors on a level playing field. The road that led to this legacy of achievement is paved with the names of the famous, and many are featured here, captured in some of the finest moments in sports history. Includes boxing's Jack Johnson, Joe Louis and Muhammad Ali; basketball's Harlem Globetrotters, Dr. J and Michael "Air" Jordan; tennis stars Althea Gibson and Arthur Ashe; baseball's Negro Leagues and the breakthrough of Jackie Robinson; Jesse Owens' triumph in the 1936 Olympics, and Tommie Smith's Black Panther salute of the Olympics of 1968.

Tulsa was the site of the worst race massacre in American history in 1921. Some 300 people were killed and property damage ran into the millions. Tulsa’s African-Americans overcame. The Greenwood District was rebuilt and, by 1942, boasted 242 Black-owned and Black-operated business establishments. The book is a testament to the human spirit. Written by Hannibal B.

Did Columbus Bring Syphillis Back to Europe? | The Syphillis Enigma | Timeline
In 1495 a new disease hit Europe. It was deadly, devastating and attacked those who were promiscuous, well-heeled and well-travelled. But what was Syphilis and where had it come from? The traditional view has been that syphilis was part of "the Columbian exchange" – one of the things, along with tobacco and the potato, that the New World gave the Old. Arriving in Spain in the 1490s with Columbus and his crew, this destructive new plague spread quickly across Europe, leaving no country, no city, no royal household untouched. But what if this assumption is wrong? There is evidence of syphilis in skeletons dug from sites in France, Italy and England. Bones found in a medieval graveyard in Hull show signs of the ravages of syphilis. But if syphilis was present in Europe before Columbus went to America, why was the 1495 outbreak so deadly? And why did everyone see it as an entirely new plague? Use code 'timeline' and enjoy 3 months of History Hit for $3 http://bit.ly/TimelineWatchMore Content licensed from DRG.

Christine & Léa Papin grew up in Le Mans, France. After a tragic upbringing, things appeared to be going in the right direction for them; they had a good job as head servant/cook & chambermaid in a the house of a wealthy middle class family. By all accounts, they were fed & treated well & had a comfortable heated room on the third floor of the large house of Monsieur Lancelin & his family. Then one day, the girls snapped...leaving a horrific trail in their wake. No one could quite believe that these two kind & demure young women, could be capable of such shocking & grisly murders.

Mashups: Concepts, Models and Architectures
Springer, 2014. ISBN 978-3-642-55048-5
This website is the online companion of the book Mashups: Concepts, Models and Architectures. The purpose of the site is to complement the physical book with material from the book that can be reused by teachers for classroom use or by students to deepen their knowledge and for self-study. It also aims to provide additional material that is not part of the book, such as links to online resources or research papers that could not be incuded in the book. The Feedback section allows everybody to comment on the book, to provide feedback and suggesions and, hopefully, to establish some interesting discussions on hot topics among the readers and the authors.
The site is meant to be constantly under construction, meaning that we intend to update it with new content as soon as we find new material that we think is of potential interest to the readers of the book.
The website is maintained by the authors independently of the official publisher of the book. It expresses our own interests, opinions and assessments.
We are glad you are interested in this book. Please let us know your feedback (in the Feedback section, via email, or face to face at some conference or meeting), and we'll try to answer as best as we can.
Mashups have emerged as an innovative software trend that re-interprets existing Web building blocks and leverages the composition of individual components in novel, value-adding ways. Additional appeal also derives from their potential to turn non-programmers into developers.
Daniel and Matera have written the first comprehensive reference work for mashups. They systematically cover the main concepts and techniques underlying mashup design and development, the synergies among the models involved at different levels of abstraction, and the way models materialize into composition paradigms and architectures of corresponding development tools. The book deliberately takes a balanced approach, combining a scientific perspective on the topic with an in-depth view on relevant technologies.
To this end, the first part of the book introduces the theoretical and technological foundations for designing and developing mashups, as well as for designing tools that can aid mashup development. The second part then focuses more specifically on various aspects of mashups. It discusses a set of core component technologies, core approaches, and architectural patterns, with a particular emphasis on tool-aided mashup development exploiting model-driven architectures. Development processes for mashups are also discussed, and special attention is paid to composition paradigms for the end-user development of mashups and quality issues.
Overall, the book is of interest to a wide range of readers. Students, lecturers, and researchers will find a comprehensive overview of core concepts and technological foundations for mashup implementation and composition. Even without low-level coding details, practitioners like software architects will find guidance on key implementation concepts, architectural patterns, and development tools and approaches. A related website provides additional teaching material which can be used either as part of a course or for self study.
“This book is timely, provides a through scientific investigation and also has practical relevance in the general area of composition and mashups. It is of particular interest to researchers and professionals wishing to learn about relevant concepts and techniques in service mashups, composition, and end-user programming.” – From the Preface by Boualem Benatallah, University of New South Wales, Sydney.
