{"product_id":"the-physics-and-art-of-john-beaver-9781643273297","title":"The Physics and Art of Photography, Volume 1: Geometry and the Nature of Light","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book uses art photography as a point of departure for learning about physics, while also using physics as a point of departure for asking fundamental questions about the nature of photography as an art. Although not a how-to manual, the topics center around hands-on applications, most-often illustrated by photographic processes that are inexpensive and easily accessible to students (including a versatile new process developed by the author, and herein first described in print). A central theme is the connection between the physical interaction of light and matter on the one hand, and the artistry of the photographic processes and their results on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eGeometry and the Nature of Light\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the physics of light and the optics of lenses, but also includes extended discussions of topics less commonly covered in a beginning text, including symmetry in art and physics, different physical processes of the scattering of light, photograms (photographic shadow prints) and the nature of shadows, elements of 2-dimensional design, pinhole photography and the view camera. Although written at a beginning undergraduate level, the topics are chosen for their role in a more general discussion of the relation between science and art that is of interest to readers of all backgrounds and levels of expertise.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Beaver\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1643273299\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781643273297\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Iop Concise Physics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/26\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 175\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.38d","brand":"John Beaver","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937123369215,"sku":"9781643273297","price":64.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_2858d332-e1ca-48e2-93e1-6c0ec59de606.jpg?v=1681428357","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-physics-and-art-of-john-beaver-9781643273297","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
