 Natural Visions: The Power of Images in American Environmental Reform


Natural Visions: The Power of Images in American Environmental Reform


$42.5


Walden Pond. The Grand Canyon. Yosemite National Park. Throughout the twentieth century, photographers and filmmakers created unforgettable images of these and other American natural treasures. Many of these images continue to occupy a prominent place in the American imagination. Making these representations, though, was more than a purely aesthetic project. In fact, portraying majestic scenes and threatened places galvanized concern for the environment and its protection. Natural Visions documents through images the history of environmental reform from the Progressive era to the first Earth Day celebration in 1970, showing the crucial role the camera played in the development of the conservation movement.                     In Natural Visions, Finis Dunaway tells the story of how visual imagery—such as wilderness photographs, New Deal documentary films, and Sierra Club coffee table books—shaped modern perceptions of the natural world. By examining the relationship between the camera and environmental politics through detailed studies of key artists and activists, Dunaway captures the emotional and spiritual meaning that became associated with the American landscape. Throughout the book, he reveals how photographers and filmmakers adapted longstanding traditions in American culture—the Puritan jeremiad, the romantic sublime, and the frontier myth—to literally picture nature as a place of grace for the individual and the nation. Beautifully illustrated with photographs by Ansel Adams, Eliot Porter, and a host of other artists, Natural Visions will appeal to a wide range of readers interested in American cultural history, the visual arts, and environmentalism. 

 Pret A Manger


Pret A Manger


$62.99


High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Pret A Manger (informally known as Pret) is a sandwich retail chain based in the City of Westminster, London, United Kingdom. The name comes from the French for “ready to eat”, a reference to “prêt à porter” (ready-to-wear) as distinct from “bespoke”. Since January 2007, a number of stores have been branded simply as “Pret”. The company was founded in London in 1986 by friends Sinclair Beecham and Julian Metcalfe (who later founded the Itsu chain of sushi cafes), the duo having met while studying property law at the Polytechnic of Central London. In 2001, McDonald’s bought a 33% non-controlling stake in the USA branch of the company, which they sold in 2008 to private equity firm Bridgepoint Capital, owners of clothing retailer Fat Face. The menu includes sandwiches, filled baguettes, soup, salad, and coffee. Pret also prepares desserts, such as American muffins, cakes, and croissants.

 The Price of Everything: Solving the Mystery of Why We Pay What We Do


The Price of Everything: Solving the Mystery of Why We Pay What We Do


$27.95


Everything has a price, but it isn’t always obvious what that price is. Many of the prices we pay seem to make little sense. We shell out $2.29 for a coffee at Starbucks when a nearly identical brew can be had at the corner deli for less than a dollar. We may be less willing to give blood for $25 than to donate it for free. Americans hire cheap illegal immigrants to fix the roof or mow the lawn, and vote for politicians who promise to spend billions to keep them out of the country. And citizens of the industrialized West pay hundreds of dollars a year in taxes or cash for someone to cart away trash that would be a valuable commodity in poorer parts of the world. The Price of Everything starts with a simple premise: there is a price behind each choice that we make, whether we’re deciding to have a baby, drive a car, or buy a book. We often fail to appreciate just how critical prices are as a motivating force shaping our lives. But their power becomes clear when distorted prices steer our decisions the wrong way.Eduardo Porter uncovers the true story behind the prices we pay and reveals what those prices are actually telling us. He takes us on a global economic adventure, from comparing the relative price of a vote in corrupt São Tomé and in the ostensibly uncorrupt United States, to assessing the cost of happiness in Bhutan, to deducing the dollar value we assign to human life. His unique approach helps explain: • Why polygamous societies actually place a higher value on women than monogamous ones. • Why someone may find more value in a $14 million license plate than the standard issue, $95 one. • Why some government agencies believe one year of life for a senior citizen is four times more valuable than that of a younger person.Porter weaves together the constant-and often unconscious-cost and value assessments we all make every day.
