Excelent book as a reference guide
The first part of this book covers the historic aspects of Stereoscopic film making and is well written and interesting but the majority of the book is a reference guide to 3D movies. It is a great reference guide for anyone interested in 3D movies but it is not the greated book if you are looking for an in depth historical look at this genre. If you are a true 3D movie fan, this book is an indespensable reference. ... Read more

Product Description
The Aardman Studio in Bristol is one of the biggest successes in the new wave of British animation. This book sets Aardman's achievements and the history of the studio within the context of the tradition of 3-D animation. The studio's initial success with "Morph" was followed with an Oscar for "Creature Comforts" and nominations for "Adam" and "A Grand Day Out". Nick Park at Aardman has received two Oscars for his Wallace and Gromit stories, "The Wrong Trousers" and "A Close Shave". The book provides the reader with a guide to making a 3-D animated film. Peter Lord, co-founder of Aardman, explains the process of 3-D animation, with a step-by-step description of how to create characters, a story board and sets, and then an entire film. ... Read more

Description:
We estimated the total aboveground tree biomass (TAGB) in an old-growth primary forest and in a regenerating forest that had been selectively logged in 1958, both within the tropical rainforest of the Pasoh Forest Reserve in Peninsular Malaysia. This was achieved by comparing aerial photographs with data obtained previously from destructive sampling in the same area. Aerial photographs were taken above the primary and logged forest plots in 1997. The heights of the canopy-forming trees were estimated in both plots by means of aerial triangulation and were regressed against the diameter at breast height (DBH) of the corresponding trees measured during ground surveys. The resulting allometric relationship between tree height and DBH let us estimate TAGB: in the primary forest, TAGB was 310Mgha^-^1, which was ca. 10-12% smaller than the value estimated by means of destructive sampling conducted in the 1970s. The estimated TAGB of the logged forest was 274Mgha^-^1, which was significantly smaller than that of the primary forest (P < 0.05). We also measured canopy surface height in a 2.5m grid system. We found that the mean canopy surface height (MCH) in every 20m x 20m subplot (0.04ha) was significantly (P < 0.0001) correlated with TAGB for that subplot. This suggests that the spatial variation of TAGB can be estimated using MCH values obtained from such a grid system, and that biomass levels can potentially be estimated by means of satellite remote sensing on larger scales, even for very dense tropical forests. We also found that digital reflectance values from Landsat Thematic Mapper (TM) images differed significantly between the logged and primary forests, and hypothesize that these differences relate to structural differences in the canopy surface. However, TAGB in both plots was poorly correlated with the Landsat reflectance values, suggesting the necessity of using an active remote-sensing sensor or a laser profiling system that can quantify changes in the forest's vertical structure or volume to estimate biomass and its variation in dense evergreen forests. ...

Product Description
In the 1950`s San Francisco photographer Denny Denfield recorded thousands of handsome and muscular young men with his Stereo Realist Camera. Stereo photography -- pictures that can be seen in three dimensions and take on an amazing lifelike reality -- have been around for a long time, but these are definitely not your grandmother's stereo-views! Denfield took nude stereo photos of friends, professional physique models and others. Peer through the enclosed viewer into a secret world of naked, masculine beauty and highly charged eroticism. These nude stereos are a unique document of a time, a place and an all-but-forgotten photographic technique. ... Read more

A Must Read
Colse Ups of History is the best collection of historical photographs I've ever seen.Henry Burroughs captured some of the most important moments in world through the lens of his camera.

Great Book
I saw Mrs. Burroughs give a quick interview on CSPAN during a book fair back in November.From that I decided to purchase this book of her husband's photographs.I must say I wasn't disappointed.There are some real gems within, and I highly recommend it to anyone who has a passing interest in presidential history and/or photography.

Beautifulphotographic memoir
Fabulous narration and photographs.Very intelligent and informative and also humorous at times. This book makes you long for news the way it used to be.

Fascinating walk through history
This book gives us a marvelous peek at history via these wonderful photos, complete with the photographer's own impressions of each incident.It couldn't be more like being there. ... Read more
