Book Description
Creative Black-and-White Photography guides photographers at all levels in producing the aesthetically advanced, carefully crafted images they've always dreamed of making. In his sequel to Mastering Black-and-White Photography, photographer Bernhard J Suess again makes complex technical and aesthetic problems easy to understand and master. He addresses intricate questions of film exposure and development control, camera filters, creative use of print contrast, dodging and burning, bleaching, and digital imaging. Discussing the many choices he makes in his own photography and why, Suess illustrates the decisions essential to successful black-and-white images.
The book includes more than eighty black-and-white photos, tracing the evolution of images from idea to final print. Each example is accompanied by a detailed explanation of the artistic and technical processes involved as well as a helpful look at how and why the photographer decided to use the techniques. Whether choosing a camera format, arranging a background, or composing a portrait, this invaluable resource shows photographers how to balance different elements in a picture and take advanced steps in creating better black-and-white photographs.

Little to offer.......2007-05-26
I wonder why this was written, and even more so, why it was published. Beginners will be lost by page three, since the author assumes his readers already know the fundamentals. Accomplished photographers will be bored by page three, since the author discloses nothing new, and illustrates his disclosures with photographs that are, well, nothing special. On virtually every page there is another cryptic reference to the Zone System, but anyone up to speed on tone placements via Zone placements will be light years ahead of this book. Those who aren't will feel they're reading Esperanto.
weak.......2005-04-12
very shallow interpretation even for beginners, in addition accompanied by helplessly boring photographs. avoid.
An excellent reference.......2000-03-31
With a clarity of presentation and personal anecdotes, Bernhard Suess masterfully presents techniques and information quite useful to both amateur and skilled photographers. There was a wealth of information presented in this book which significantly improved both my compositional and printing skills. Amidst a plethora of books available on the subject, I feel that Suess makes an exceptional effort to make the topic as accessible as possible. There is a minimum of technical jargon that is not explained, which should appeal to the neophyte, and there are several tricks and techniques that would appeal to the more experienced photographer. I highly recommend this book.
Book Description
Digital photographers can now attain the enduring beauty of black-and-white photography in their own work! There’s more to monochrome than just discarding the color in Photoshop, but many books simply treat it as an afterthought. Not this one! John Beardsworth teaches every major method of making a color picture black and white, and explains what kind of images are best, and why. Both ambitious newcomers and advanced enthusiasts will learn how to achieve the richest tonal depth and balance, use black and white to interpret your subject for the viewer, reproduce historic and darkroom processes, add creative and special effects, and produce exhibition-quality prints.
Book Description
Features techniques for achieving high quality at both the camera and darkroom stages of making a photograph, with emphasis on image control, appearance, and fine-art presentation. Includes toning comparisons as well as a section on hand-coloring prints.
Customer Reviews:
Lacks "How To".......2000-03-06
Nice presentation actually aimed at ~Novice experience levels with some knowledge of darkroom proceedures. As may be expected, this book concentrates on Kodak technical info, particularly the newer films and chemicals for the T-Max films. Disappointed older films such as Tri-X, Plus-X are omitted entirely. Again, the book identifies many proceedures and processes but doesn't teach the "How To" very well.
Not very helpful.......1999-12-07
This book has decent information for novice photographers who would like to work exclusively with Kodak film and chemistry, but it is of little use to someone who simply wants to take better pictures or who does not have access to a well-outfitted darkroom. All in all, if you want to be a professional photographer, your money is better spent on other books, or even a class.
Not truly advanced, assumes Kodak materials throughout.......1999-05-20
A nice presentation at mostly a novice level, with some advanced techniques. The problem being if you don't own or have access to a full blown darkroom (lab), and use Kodak T-Max films and associated chemicals, the technical data will be of little use. Some information is out of date. This IS an economical book to obtain and will help a novice in a general way.

If black-and-white (and monotone) photography is your chosen medium, here's the ultimate guide to taking full advantage of the digital revolution. Go through the tools, explore different technical options, and learn how to retouch and restore. Written by the editor of Shutterbug magazine, it will open new creative doors and reveal how to bring out the beauty of your work.

This is not what I wanted.......2007-02-19
I thought I was ordering the text for my micro econ course.. When I actually received the it, it was a condensed version of the text "To accompany the text," that's weak sauce. It's more than likely that it was my fault for not noticing, but it should be more obvious that this is not the text.
Great!.......2007-01-16
I recieved the book a couple days after I ordered it and it was in perfect condition! I am very happy with my purchase!!!
Fast service..........2007-01-03

Customer Reviews:
Book is ok.......2004-05-07
This book is ok. It is very wordy, and again, economics is not like chemistry or calculus. At last, it is a social science. It takes about 4 pages of reading to get one useful concept. I just hope other econ classes won't use books as wordy as this one.

Book Description
Following German reunification in 1990, East Germany's centrally planned economy was abolished and replaced by West Germany's social market economy. Western Germany has since provided vast financial support to aid the transformation, and enable eastern Germany to catch-up with western Germany's productivity and living standards. This book evaluates the main events and their outcomes since mid-1990 and the associated policy issues. The authors assess the medium to long term growth prospects of eastern Germany and the wider implications for western Germany and Europe. The Economics of German Unification analyses the economic process of assimilating eastern Germany into the institutions and performance levels of western Germany. It includes original research as well as providing an overview of existing literature. Among the topics discussed are: - the relative backwardness of East Germany's economy - the impact of monetary and economic integration - restructuring and privatization - labor market and industrial policy, including an analysis of wage restraint and cost reduction - the prospects for eastern Germany catching-up economically with western Germany - the repercussions for German competitiveness nationally and within the wider European context This book will be welcomed by academics, researchers and undergraduates interested in the economics of transition, comparative economic systems, political economy and the European business environment.

Fast Service.......2006-08-04
The book arrived quickly. There are two books with the same title by this author. One is a study guide and the other is the text. I initally bought the paperback not knowing the difference until I had a reading assignment beyond chapter 18. The quick response allowed me to stay current with my assignments. Thanks.

i think the econ book is great except that it is for econ and I'm not very good at econ.
A Comprehensive Introduction.......2002-01-27
A must buy for the personal library of any future economics major. While most economics textbooks are dubbed as "dry" and "incomprehensible," this text fully acquaints the reader with fundamental economic principles in English that is clear and simple to understand, all the while maintaining the importance of the concepts. Despite the fact that McEachern does not explore (in any depth) the complex mathematical facet of economics, he covers well the basic theories of supply and demand, the market system, and the fundamental principles of both micro and macro economics. The graphs and other visual displays are clear and can be followed by anyone with a firm background in basic algebra.
Even though some very important concepts are simply "grazed" at the mere tip of the iceberg, this nonetheless functions relatively well with the book's overall intent to provide the reader with a firm knowledge of basic concepts. While this particular text wouldn't be used in the curriculum for an advanced seminar in economics, it would perform well as the "lay terms" manual for students that can't make heads or tails of the algorithms and complex functions and language of their college text.
All in all, McEachern's ECONOMICS: A CONTEMPORARY INTRODUCTION is a must-have for any and all future business, political science, and certainly economics majors.
