Download or read book Walking the High Line written by Joel Sternfeld and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first book of Sternfeld's largely unseen early colour photographs. In 1969 Sternfeld began working with a 35 mm camera and Kodachrome film, and First Pictures contains works from this time until 1980. Here Sternfeld develops traits that appear in his mature work: irony, a politicised view of America, concern for the social condition. But there are also pictures that bear little relation to his later work: colour arrangements that parallel those of Eggleston, as well as street photography which Sternfeld ceased making in 1976. The photographs in First Pictures were made at a time when colour photography was struggling to assert itself against the authoritative black and white tradition, making this book a revelation both in Sternfeld's oeuvre and in the history of contemporary photography.

This book was released on 2015-01-13 with total page 503 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SIMPLE questions often help us to understand problems better; and I think it indispensable, at the beginning of this work, to ask a question which appears simple in the extreme: "What is grazing?" The answer is generally as follows: "Causing grass to be eaten by an animal." That is correct! But here is another answer which, to my mind, is more realistic: "Causing the grass and the animal to meet." Since this book is almost exclusively concerned with grazing by cattle, I propose the following definition to the reader, requesting him to allow it to become well impressed upon his mind: Grazing is the meeting of cow and grass. It is by satisfying as far as possible the demands of both parties that we will arrive at a rational grazing, which will provide us with maximum productivity on the part of the grass while at the same time allowing the cow to give optimum performance.

Download or read book Cultural Landscapes of Universal Value written by Bernd von Droste and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 472 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cultural landscapes are at the interface between nature and culture. They represent the permanent interaction between humans and their environment, shaping the surface of the earth. With the rapid social and economic development cultural landscapes belong to the most fragile and threatened sites on earth. Adapted protection and proper management is urgently needed. Since 1992 outstanding cultural landscapes can be protected under the World Heritage Convention. Thus, the World Heritage Convention is the first international legal instrument recognizing and safeguarding this type of property for future generations. This important step has led to enhanced international and national recognition. The present volume aims to contribute to enhanced protection and management of cultural landscapes around the world. It furthermore highlights in a truly interdisciplinary approach some of the most outstanding cultural landscapes of universal value in their geocultural and environmental context.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: L’ecologia del paesaggio biologico-integrata, o meglio “Bionomia del Paesaggio”, si propone come un atto di rifondazione della disciplina iniziato dall’Autore una dozzina di anni fa, con l’appoggio di Richard Forman, basato sul riconoscimento del paesaggio come specifico livello dell’organizzazione della vita sulla Terra. A scala territoriale, in un determinato ambito geografico, il “paesaggio” si definisce come “integrazione di un insieme di comunità vegetali, animali ed umane e del loro sistema di ecosistemi naturali, seminaturali e antropico-culturali in una certa configurazione spaziale”, cioè come sistema iper-complesso che costituisce una entità vivente: non un insieme incoerente, quindi, di aspetti e di tematiche separate (acqua, aria, suolo, specie, inquinamenti) tra cui si possano trovare delle interrelazioni! Ciò porta, inevitabilmente, notevoli cambiamenti nelle modalità di valutare e gestire l’ambiente. Possiamo, infatti, riconoscere delle strutture e delle funzioni proprie di ogni paesaggio, ossia dei comportamenti peculiari che vanno oltre le classiche relazioni fra le componenti perché dovuti a leggi sistemiche. Si può così parlare di uno “stato di salute” e di una serie di sindromi (o patologie) del paesaggio. Questo fatto è assai rilevante, perché si è dimostrato che le alterazioni patologiche di un paesaggio, o di una sua parte, possono influire sulla salute umana, anche in assenza di inquinamenti! Prestiamo attenzione al fatto che si può intervenire sul territorio con le migliori intenzioni causando invece un danno! Ne consegue la necessità di studiare le “unità di paesaggio” con un metodo “clinico-diagnostico” e di considerare gli ecologi come “medici” dei sistemi ecologici, cioè “ecoiatri”.
