First Photo Books
First Photo Books explores the fascinating history of how photography became widely accessible through the printed book. It examines the intersection of technological innovation, aesthetic considerations, and social impact in the 19th and early 20th centuries. A key insight is that these early photo books weren't merely image collections but carefully constructed narratives shaping public perception. These publications played a vital role in democratizing visual culture and fostering visual literacy. The book delves into the technological advancements that enabled the integration of photographs into books, such as photomechanical reproduction processes like the Woodburytype. It also analyzes how design choices influenced the reception and interpretation of these images. Uniquely, the book emphasizes the collaborative effort of producing a photo book, highlighting the contributions of publishers and designers alongside photographers. The book progresses from the technological landscape to the evolution of design, thematic content, and the legacy of these early publications.
Fuelling Economic Growth
The private sector is playing an increasingly important role in the funding of scientific research. As public sector research declines in the countries of the north and the south, research and development carried out by the private sector becomes more important for innovations that have economic potential.

Seven case studies from Argentina, China, Costa Rica, El Salvador, Tanzania, Peru, the Philippines and Vietnam examine how policies have been developed and implemented to encourage innovation.

Engaging in critical dialogue with extant writing on the subject, Lund argues that much of recent popular and scholarly writing on Superman as a Jewish character is a product of the ethnic revival, rather than critical investigations of the past, and as such does not stand up to historical scrutiny. In place of these readings, this book offers a new understanding of the Superman created by Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster in the mid-1930s, presenting him as an authentically Jewish American character in his own time, for goo...
