Bilder spielen bei der Wissensvermittlung eine herausragende Rolle. In zahlreichen akademischen Disziplinen werden sie zur Darstellung wissenschaftlicher Ergebnisse eingesetzt. Digitale Werkzeuge wie Adobe Photoshop erlauben es die Information in Bildern brilliant und klar darzustellen – gleichzeitig ist die Grenze zur unangemessenen Manipulation nicht immer leicht zu ziehen. Wissenschaftliche Journale haben Richtlinien für den Umgang und die Bearbeitung von Bildmaterial veröffentlicht, doch nicht immer sind diese spezifisch genug, um für alle Situationen Klarheit zu schaffen.

Theorizing Images


Free Download Kreimir Purgar arko Pai, "Theorizing Images"
English | ISBN: 1443888001 | 2016 | 275 pages | PDF | 3 MB
This book uncovers an underlying dispute over the role images play in contemporary society and, consequently, over their values and purposes. Two decades after the concepts of the pictorial and the iconic turn changed our vernacular involvement with regard to images, it has become clear that it was not only a newly discovered social, political or sexual construction of the visual field that brought turbulence into disciplinary knowledge, but that images have their own pictorial logic with powers exceeding those that are purely iconic or visually discernible. Instead of underscoring previously defined concepts of the picture, the contributors to this book view visual studies and Bildwissenschaft merely as a place for the theory of images, making a case for the hotly-debated topic of their powers and weaknesses on the one hand, and of their respective theories on the other. Therefore, as the title indicates, this book theorizes images, but it does not present a theory of images, because visual studies cannot lead to a unified theory of images unless a unified ontology of images can be agreed upon first. Although that would be a different task altogether, all the contributions in this book (in different ways and at different paces), by theorizing images in their aesthetic, historical, media and technological guises, pave the way for the future of visual culture and for the image science that will make this future more comprehensible.

Free Download Seattle’s Coal Legacy (Images of America) by John M. Goodfellow
English | October 28, 2019 | ISBN: 1467103993 | 128 pages | EPUB | 78 Mb
In the 1880s, Seattle became a major coal port in the United States. By 1908, Puget Sound was the third-largest coal port, after New York and Baltimore. For Seattle, the major coal mines were in Issaquah, New Castle, Renton, and Black Diamond, with many other smaller mines throughout King County. Until the petroleum revolution, Seattle exported most of its coal to San Francisco. Because of coal, Seattle became a center for skilled engineers, machinists, and miners for the maritime, manufacturing, mining, and railroad industries, differentiating itself from other lumber towns on Puget Sound. Seattle’s Coal Legacy is the story of a frontier town going through an industrial revolution in its own time. The skills and knowledge developed during the coal era-engineering, finance, transportation, manufacturing, etc.-made Seattle the major city it is today.
