Throughout history, artists around the world have been drawn to the nude. Photographers, too, have been fascinated by the subject, and many of the medium`s most enduring images have depicted the unclothed human form. But the nude is among the most challenging of subjects to master. The camera`s gaze is indiscriminate and unforgiving, so conveying a sense of artistry and subtlety requires careful control over the posing and, crucially, lighting of the nude. And that`s where this guide can help. Lighting The Nude (Third Edition) reveals the lighting secrets of some of the top photographers working today. It showcases over 100 images of the nude, in a wide variety of styles. Each image is accompanied by detailed lighting diagrams and an...

Listening Tasks is designed for students who need to understand authentic American English, spoken at normal speed in everyday situations. In the Student`s Book, many practical topics, such as calling about an apartment, catching a plane, and finding out what`s going on in town, make the material interesting and motivating.
This book challenges the orthodox approach to the teaching of second language listening, which is based upon the asking and answering of comprehension questions. It critically examines the practices and assumptions associated with this approach, and suggests ways of revising them. The book`s central argument is that a preoccupation with the notion of `comprehension` has led teachers to focus upon the product of listening, in the form of answers to questions, ignoring the listening process itself.
