Meditation for Life
"A wise and inviting introduction to meditation. Martine's wisdom and humor shine through." --Joseph Goldstein, author of Insight Meditation: The Path to FreedomThere are many good reasons to start meditating. Meditation can relieve stress, promote relaxation, and improve your outlook--but most of all, meditation is about waking up to life, to all its choices and possibilities.With an engaging mix of anecdote, humor, and clear instruction, Martine Batchelor shows that you don't have to be a Buddhist to benefit from meditation. She explains the life-enhancing techniques of three major traditions--Theravada, Tibetan, and Zen--demystifying meditation and presenting it in a way that will speak to readers of any background.Each chapter of Meditation for Life contains a time-honored guided meditation on such themes as loving-kindness, equanimity, death--and even cooking! And nearly every page presents an evocative photograph from Stephen Batchelor, inviting us to see the world around us with new eyes.This vividly photographed book encourages us to bring creative awareness to every aspect of our lives--from making conversation to making dinner--and reveals how every situation and every moment can be an opportunity to break negative habits, foster compassion, and find joy. Whether you want to learn to meditate, revitalize your practice, or share the joys of meditation with others--Meditation for Life is a beautiful way to start.

Fearless Females
"...a captivating book covering a wide spectrum of animal behaviour and species... this is a book to make you re-think the role of the female." --BBC Wildlife. In the lion world, only the females hunt -- because they do it best! The boss of a hyena pack? An alpha female. Even the lowest-ranking female of the pack is superior to her male counterparts. As for praying mantises? They keep interaction with men to the essentials, eating them right after mating for added nutrition. The first photo book to focus exclusively on the female of the species, Fearless Females is a fascinating account of "feminine" strength throughout the animal kingdom. With some 150 photographs, accompanied by remarkable facts and extraordinary stories, the book reveals the fierce, formidable, and fascinating antics of she lions, elephants, and many other creatures. A refreshing reappraisal of "feminine" behaviour and a long overdue emancipation of nature and wildlife photography. Text in English and German.
Goodnight Port!
Welcome to my book "GOODNIGHT PORT!" I wanted to share my love of sunsets in book form - and what better way than to provide photos showcasing Port's best asset, the waterfront and its sunsets. Yes, this book consists of pretty pictures, but also provides a look at the ever-changing and unique sunsets of Manhasset Bay. As I say, God provides the sunset canvas. I capture and enhance it to bring out its best qualities for all to enjoy.I captured over 3,000 sunsets, day after day, season after season, for over 10 years and photographed four times as many sunset pictures during COVID than the previous five years combined. What else do you do during lockdown? You walk, eat, or take photos of anything and everything, which for me was photographing the magnificent sunsets of Manhasset Bay.My hope is that all of you enjoy these sunset photos of Manhasset Bay as much as I loved taking them. Whenever or wherever you find yourself during the day, take time to capture a photographic scene that provides you with a sense of peace and serenity.Now, get out there and start taking your own sunset photos from your favorite spot.
Hanford Reach
A look at lives and landscapes bearing secrets and scars of the atomic/nuclear era, Hanford Reach is a reflection upon the complexity of individual and collective memory, and upon the enduring nature of denial.

Source interviews include Hanford scientists, Native elders, displaced farmers, and others variously impacted. Art intertwines with cultural documentary and political history.--Glenna Cole Allee "Glenna Cole Allee"

Oshawa Ontario Book 3 in Colour Photos
Oshawa is a city in Southern Ontario on the Lake Ontario shoreline. It is about sixty kilometers east of Downtown Toronto. The name Oshawa comes from the Ojibwa word meaning "the crossing place" or "where we must leave our canoes". More than 5,000 people work and more than 2,400 university students study in the downtown core.Oshawa's roots are tied to the automobile industry with the Canadian division of General Motors located here. It was founded in 1876 as the McLaughlin Carriage Company. The lavish home of the carriage company's founder, Parkwood Estate, is a National Historic Site of Canada.Historians believe that Oshawa began as a transfer point for the fur trade. Beaver and other animals trapped for their pelts by local natives were traded with the Coureurs des bois (voyagers). Furs were loaded onto canoes by the Mississauga Indians at the Oshawa harbor and transported to the trading posts located to the west at the mouth of the Credit River. Around 1760, the French constructed a trading post near the harbor location; this was abandoned after a few years, but its ruins provided shelter for the first residents of what later became Oshawa.In the late eighteenth century a local resident, Roger Conant, started an export business shipping salmon to the United States. His success attracted further migration into the region. A large number of the founding immigrants were United Empire Loyalists, who left the United States to live under British rule. Later Irish and then French Canadian immigration increased as did industrialization. Oshawa and the surrounding Ontario County were the settling grounds of a large number of nineteenth century Cornish immigrants. The surveys ordered by Governor John Graves Simcoe, and subsequent land grants, helped populate the area. When Col. Asa Danforth laid out his York-to-Kingston road, it passed through the Oshawa area.In 1822, a "colonization road" (a north-south road to facilitate settlement) known as Simcoe Street was constructed. It ran from the harbor to the area of Lake Scugog. It intersected the "Kingston Road: at what became Oshawa's "Four Corners."In 1846 there were about 1,000 people in a community surrounded by farms. There were three churches, a post office, tradesmen of various types, a foundry, a grist mill and a fulling mill, a brewery, two distilleries, a machine shop and four cabinet makers.The newly established village became an industrial center, and implement works, tanneries, asheries and wagon factories opened. In 1876, Robert Samuel McLaughlin, Sr. moved his carriage works to Oshawa from Enniskillen to take advantage of its harbor and of the availability of a rail link not too far away. He constructed a two-storey building, which was soon added to. This building was heavily remodeled in 1929, receiving a new facade and being extended to the north. Around 1890, the carriage works relocated from its Simcoe Street address to an unused furniture factory a couple of blocks to the northeast, and this remained its site until the building burnt in 1899. Offered assistance by the town, McLaughlin chose to stay in Oshawa, building a new factory across Mary Street from the old site. Rail service had been provided in 1890 by the Oshawa Railway; this was originally set up as a streetcar line, but by about 1910 a second freight line was built slightly to the east of Simcoe Street which provided streetcar and freight service, connected central Oshawa with the Grand Trunk (now Canadian National) Railway, and with the Canadian Northern (which ran through the very north of Oshawa) and the Canadian Pacific, built in 1912-13.

The world is my playground and all around me is beauty. Every adventure is always different even when I go to the same places. Sometimes I hike, sometimes I play disc golf.

They Laugh In My Language
During a recent trip to another country, in an unaccustomed environment where the sights, sounds, and foods were all unfamiliar and the language of the people was completely unknown to them, photographers Pat Chapman and Martha Ellis suddenly became aware of the familiar sound of laughter coming from children at play.

Underwater Photography
The spectacular wildlife and dynamic scenery of the world beneath the wavesIn Italian photographer Vincenzo Paolillo's depictions of his underwater adventures, the world beneath the ocean's surface transforms into a fantastical dimension. Shoals of brightly colored fish crowd the frame of some photographs against the backdrop of neon-toned coral formations; in other images, the semitransparent bodies of jellyfish are magnified into ghostly, abstract shapes. This collection of photographs is divided into five sections that call attention to the stylistic focal points of Paolillo's work: Colors, Shapes, Places, Movement and Light. Under each heading the photography demonstrates both the diversity of wildlife that thrives under the waves and Paolillo's keen eye for the natural world's inherent artistic beauty. This hardcover volume is perfect for those interested in the magical qualities of underwater photography or the beautiful and often bizarre biomes that are less accessible to most humans.

The Night Albums
We live in an era of abundant photography. Is it then counterintuitive to study photographs that disappear or are difficult to discern? Kate Palmer Albers argues that it is precisely this current cultural moment that allows us to recognize what has always been a basic and foundational, yet unseen, condition of photography: its ephemerality. Through a series of case studies spanning the history of photography, The Night Albums takes up the provocations of artists who collectively redefine how we experience visibility. From the protracted hesitancies of photography's origins, to conceptual and performative art that has emerged since the 1960s, to the waves of technological experimentation flourishing today, Albers foregrounds artists who offer fleeting, hidden, conditional, and future modes of visibility. By unveiling how ephemerality shapes the photographic experience, she ultimately proposes an expanded framework for the medium.
The Softer Side

It can surprise you.

The Practicing Photographer
Ben Long has spent his career as a photographer, teacher, and workshop leader, and his message has always been clear. If you want to become a better photographer, you have to think about practice. Musicians, dancers, actors and other artists incorporate practice into their work, yet most photographers talk more about camera settings and gear than they do about their practice.The Practicing Photographer is all about practice: why it is so important, how to get started with it, how to use practicing to improve your skills, and how to evaluate the results of your own practice over time. Ben's goal is to help you build your own successful practice, one that you can own, and one that produces clear results over time.This short book consists of 50 short essays split into seven sections, covering all aspects of the photographic process, from shooting to post-production to building a portfolio of your best work. Ben also talks extensively about training your eye, not only to consistently see the world photographically, but as a route to discovering the unique characteristics of your way of seeing the world, so that you are expressing your own ideas rather than simply copying someone else's.Some of the other techniques you'll discover in these pages include: Learning how to defeat the editors and other negative thought processes that you carry around in your head.Learning to combat boredom.Adapting to changes in your own interests and tastes, over time, and learning how those changes affect your photography.Striving to understand what makes a successful photograph work.None of the practices discussed in The Practicing Photographer follow any rules or theories. They are not things you can learn by rote, but they are necessary if you want to move beyond the simple, process-oriented, "eight ways to improve your photos" type of instruction that you find littered around the web.You won't find any mention of a camera company, a camera type, or any other type of gear within the pages of this book. And there is not a single photograph inside its covers, because this book is intended to be a map for building your own practice regimen, not a monograph cluttered with superfluous photographs.With Ben as your guide, this slim volume of essays could be the most important book on photography you read this year.

Niagara Falls Ontario is located along the Niagara Falls waterfalls and the Niagara Gorge on the western bank of the Niagara River, which flows from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. The Niagara River flows over Niagara Falls at this location and creates a natural spectacle that attracts millions of tourists each year.Louis Hennepin, a French priest and missionary, is believed to be the first European to visit the area in the 1670s. Increased settlement in this area took place during and after the American Revolutionary War, when the British Crown made land grants to Loyalists to help them resettle in Upper Canada and provide some compensation for their losses after the United States became independent. Loyalist Robert Land received 200 acres and was one of the first people of European descent to settle in the Niagara Region.Tourism started in the early nineteenth century.

In 1793, the creek was renamed the Welland River. The village was largely destroyed 1812-14 when the British and American forces fought for control of the Welland River. Portage traffic revived after the war and continued until Chippawa became an outlet for the original Welland Canal from 1829 to 1833. The first horse-powered railway in Upper Canada was built to Niagara Falls in 1837-39. Precipitated by the opening of the Welland Canal in 1829, by the 1840s, Chippawa was a thriving town. A wide variety of business establishments were located around Cummington Square. Chippawa amalgamated with the City of Niagara Falls in 1970.
Mario Testino. Sir. 40th Ed.
"The way men are seen in photography, in fashion, and the way that men look at pictures of themselves has changed in recent years. It is a subject that has come into focus: The masculine image, a man's personal style, changing attitudes to the male face and body." -- Mario Testino From Rio to London, Cusco to Seville, Mario Testino is renowned for his free-spirited chronicles of dress and demeanor. In SIR the influential photographer presents over 300 photographs in his search to define the allure of men. Featuring an essay by Pierre Borhan, an interview with Patrick Kinmonth, and many previously unpublished works from Testino's archive of thousands, this book traces the evolution of male identity over the past three decades. Costume, tradition, gender play, portraiture, photojournalism, and fashion collide as Testino observes masculinity in all its modern manifestations: through the dandy and the gentleman, the macho and the fey, the world-famous face to the unknown passerby. Every photograph represents a unique point of view, and a new visual connection between photographer and sitter. With Josh Hartnett for VMAN (2005), Testino evokes the fall of Helmut Berger in the abyss of Luchino Visconti's The Damned. Studies of Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Jude Law and Colin Firth are as candid as they are curious. David Beckham, David Bowie, Mick Jagger and Keith Richards feature for the courage they have taken in redefining male identity. Through a kaleidoscope of guises, these portraits define a period in which men's changing role, style and appearance has never escaped Testino's eye and impeccable intuition.
