Hardback. Condition: New. Viewing Distance compiles and transforms declassified material from US government archives to examine photography as a tool of the military-industrial complex for reconnaissance, surveillance, and documentation of advanced technologies. While many of the source images for this body of work date back to…the middle 20th century, they have only recently been released and much information remains secret. These pictures represent the decades-long time delay from when knowledge comes into being and when it becomes publicly accessible. The Cold War period that much of the material originates from is a significant turning point in photography's technological development and use for intelligence gathering. The book combines photographs pertaining to the clandestine innovations and operations of that era with contemporary documents and devices, connecting past and present. Processes including analog printing, digital collage, scanner manipulation, and data bending are used to animate the archival material. Through this disruption and layering, historical fragments are presented in a state of flux, open to alternate associations and implications. What we are allowed to know and see is often incomplete and indeterminate, encouraging speculation and critical vision.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the crucial link between letter size and visibility in signage, providing practical guidance for designers and specifiers. Drawing on a wealth of empirical research, the author presents a simple formula that determines the optimal letter size for any given viewing di…stance and observer visual acuity. The formula is based on the assumption that beyond a few meters, a person's visual acuity is primarily determined by the visual angle subtended by an object. By incorporating allowances for variations in contrast and background luminance, the book equips readers with the tools to compensate for non-standard conditions. The author emphasizes that letter size should not be a one-size-fits-all approach but rather customized to accommodate different viewing distances and individual visual abilities. Proper consideration of these factors ensures effective communication and safety, particularly in situations where signs convey critical information or warnings. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

Contact seller5-star sellerCondition: Good. Gouache in 7 colors on paper mounted on board.'22 x 14 inches "Free men cannot start a war, but once it is started, they can fight on in defeat. Herd men, followers of a leader, cannot do that, and so it is always the herd men who win battles and the free men who win wars."? John Steinbeck, The Moon Is Down.The…Moon is Down was John Steinbeck's second attempt at writing a novel in play form (Of Mice and Men was his first). It was composed while on assignment from the Foreign Information Service, a division of the Office of Strategic Services charged with combating Nazi propaganda. His original story, depicting a small American town invaded by enemy troops, was rejected by the FIS, who feared that it might demoralize the civilian public. In his revised manuscript, published by Viking in 1942, Steinbeck kept the same plot but set it in an unnamed Scandinavian town rather than the United States. Despite mixed critical reception, the book was a remarkable public success, outselling The Grapes of Wrath two-to-one in pre-publication; it would eventually pass through 76 editions. Shortly after publication, the producer Oscar Serlin purchased the dramatic rights to The Moon is Down (Herman Shumlin initially bought them but passed them on, saying he "did not care for [The Moon is Down's] politics." Serlin, known for his production of "Life with Father," accepted the challenge, believing Steinbeck's play would attract a large audience. "The Moon is Down" premiered on Broadway in April 1942, starring Otto Kruger as Colonel Lanser and Ralph Morgan as Mayor Orden. Like the novel before it, the play was publicly adored but critically lambasted. Life magazine reported that it was "trumpeted louder than any literary event of the season," while the critical consensus was that "Steinbeck was too easy on the Germans, too optimistic about the ultimate victory of the Allies, [and ultimately] too moralistic." Despite its initial Broadway run lasting only nine weeks, the play was immensely successful on the road and abroad, especially in London and Stockholm. Rather surprisingly, it was nominated for Best Play by the New York Drama Critics' Circle and placed second.Provenance: From the estate of producer Oscar Serlin.
