Looking across a range of domains and disciplines, we find the image is never a single, static thing. Rather, the image can be a concept, an object, a picture, or medium - and all these things combined. At the heart of this book is the idea of an 'ecology of images', through which we can examine the full 'life' of an image - to understand how an image resonates within a complex set of contexts, processes and uses. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart 1 covers theoretical perspectives on the image, supplemented with practical entries on making, researching and writing with images.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePart 2 explores specific image practices and cultures, with chapters on drawing and painting; photography; visual culture; scientific imaging; and informational images.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eA wide range of illustrations complement the text throughout and each chapter includes creative tasks, keywords (linked to an online resource), summaries and suggested further reading.
