Download or read book Photo Quest written by Rick Sammon and published by . This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Photo Quest - Discovering Your Photographic & Artistic Voice is a sequel to Rick Sammon's internationally best-selling book, Photo Therapy Motivation and Wisdom - discovering the power of pictures. This book, Rick's 41st, was written for photographers, as well as for all types of artists - because the lessons and philosophies on these pages are universal to all creatives. Like Photo Therapy, Photo Quest includes only words of wisdom motivation and inspiration. There are no photographs in this book. Rick says there are two reasons for not including photographs (unlike his 40 other books and 18 online classes that are richly illustrated with hundreds of photographs from his travels around the world): "One, I want you to slow down and read the text carefully; Two, I want you to think about your photography and art when you are reading about an idea or technique - and not be distracted by my colorful images." Rick Sammon has assembled an all-star team of photo and creative mentors for this important book - a team that offers advice and insight on finding one's photographic and artist voice. As Rick says, "You'd be hard pressed to find this much talent between the covers of one photography book." This list of contributors reads like a "Who's Who" in the world of photography in 2020. These pros include Erin Babnick, Martin Baily, Richard Bernabe, Steve Brazill, Jeff Cable, Tony Corbell, Patricia Davidson, Dave DeBaermaeker, Ron Clifford, Ed Cooley, Unmsh Dinda, Frank Doorhof, Piper Mackay, Scott Kelby, Karen Hutton, Don Komarechka, Ian Plant, Trey Ratcliff, Art Wolfe - and more! If you are in search of becoming a more creative photographer, and not just ways of taking better pictures (there is a big difference), you have come to the right place. And if you are thinking about "changing lanes" - changing your career or making creative changes in your life - this book is for you. On these pages you will learn about (in chapter titles of the same name): Finding Your Superpower and Inner Voice, Your Secret Weapon, Idea to Image, Specializing or Not Specializing, The Rollercoaster Ride of Creatives, The Importance of Your Conversation, Changing Lanes, Creating a Sense of Mystery, Photography & The Death of Reality, Know Your Audience & Build Your Brand - and more. Each of the 22 chapters in the book ends with a Mission - an assignment - that will help you on your personal photo quest, which Rick feels will be one of the most rewarding adventures in your photographic and artistic life. This book is also filled with dozens of inspirational quotes relating to photographs and all artists. Here is one of Rick's favorites: An artist cannot fail; it is a success to be one. - Charles Cooley

This groundbreaking book navigates the uncharted waters of post-humanism, unraveling the intricacies of merging human consciousness with cutting-edge technologies. From the dawn of post-human evolution to the speculative landscapes of the future, this narrative delves into the controversial and transformative journey that could redefine what it means to be human. In twenty compelling chapters, the reader is guided through a labyrinth of ideas, from the ethical considerations of technological enhancement to the development of neurointerfaces and the integration of augmented reality into our everyday lives. The rise of cyborgs, the implications of genetic modification, and the quest for immortality are dissected with both empathy and scrutiny. The book contemplates the impact on societal structures, family dynamics, and the emergence of post-human subcultures, painting a vivid picture of a world where humanity is on the brink of profound change. The narrative extends beyond Earth, speculating on the potential cosmic exploration by post-humans and the ethical considerations that accompany such endeavors. This isn't just a book; it's a journey—an intellectual and emotional exploration into the possibilities and dilemmas that arise when humanity merges with technology. As the reader turns each page, they are invited to reflect on their own beliefs, fears, and aspirations for a future where the boundaries between human and machine blur. 'Post-Human Evolution' isn't just about the future; it's about the present and the choices we make today that will shape the trajectory of our species. It's a tapestry woven with philosophical depth, ethical inquiry, and a compassionate understanding of the human experience. Join us on this thought-provoking voyage, where the pages of the book are a gateway to a future that beckons us all.

Download or read book Evolution Education in the American South written by Christopher D. Lynn and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-03-08 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume reaches beyond the controversy surrounding the teaching and learning of evolution in the United States, specifically in regard to the culture, politics, and beliefs found in the Southeast. The editors argue that despite a deep history of conflict in the region surrounding evolution, there is a wealth of evolution research taking place—from biodiversity in species to cultural evolution and human development. In fact, scientists, educators, and researchers from around the United States have found their niche in the South, where biodiversity is high, culture runs deep, and the pace is just a little bit slower.

Download or read book Fallenness and Flourishing written by Hud Hudson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2021-04-01 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fallenness and Flourishing opens with defenses of the philosophy of pessimism, first on secular grounds and then again on distinctively Christian grounds with reference to the fallenness of human beings. It then details traditional Christian reasons for optimism with which this philosophy of pessimism can be qualified. Yet even among those who accept the general religious worldview underlying this optimism, many nevertheless willfully resist the efforts required to cooperate with God and instead pursue happiness and well-being (or flourishing) on their own power. On the assumption that we can acquire knowledge in such matters, arguments are presented in favour of objective-list theories of well-being and the Psychic Affirmation theory of happiness, and the question 'How are people faring in this quest for self-achieved happiness and well-being?' is critically investigated. The unfortunate result is that nearly everywhere, people are failing. The causes of failure, it is argued, are found in the noetic effects of sin—especially in inordinate self-love and self-deception, but also in insufficient self-love—and such failure manifests both in widespread unhappiness and in that most misunderstood of the seven deadly sins, sloth. After a literary tour designed to reveal the many different ways that sloth can damage a life, Hud Hudson provides a constructive proposal for responding to this predicament featuring the virtue of obedience. This virtue is analysed, illustrated, and located in a new theory of well-being.
