Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In The invented eye Edward Lucie-Smith surveys, from an art critic's point of view, the pioneer period of photography. Against the cultural and artistic background of the 19th century world he discusses the broad implications of early photography and many of its most important practitioners. Taking as it does an art-critical point of view, The invented eye is not a technical book (though there is a brief section explaining the major techniques of early photography). Its emphasis is on understanding the photographs as visual images. More than 150 photographs provide a magnificent complement to the lucid and perceptive text, and make The invented eye a journey through time, to the beginnings of "a new way of seeing the world."

Book excerpt: We spend about one-tenth of our waking hours completely blind. Only one percent of what we see is in focus at any one time. We exist in a world we see that's always about half a second behind the real one. In fact you don't need eyes to see - blind volunteers have been taught to see through their chests. Wasps can't see, but map their surroundings instead. If we are stared at, our heartbeat rises and our galvanic skin response alters. How many generations did it take for the first fish to acquire eyes? Answer is 400,000. Why do humans have whites to their eyes when other species don't? Could it be that thinking arose as an evolutionary response to seeing? Without eyes, would minds exist at all? Be prepared to have your eyes opened! Using a spellbinding mix of scientific research, mathematics, philosophy, history, neuroscience, anecdote and language theory, in The Eye, Simon Ings unravels brilliantly the never-ending puzzle of how and why we see in the way that we do. From looking at the work of a huge range of theorists and scientists, to myths and personal experiences, and with the help of a beguiling mix of illustrated visual conundrums and enigmas, Ings triumphs with a compelling dissection of the age-old mysteries of the eye that's both seriously interesting and interestingly fun. He tells the eye's whole story for the very first time, fusing eye and sight into a single story - this is popular science of the highest order.

This book was released on 2022-08-22 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Systematic theology is a discipline of Christian theology that formulates an orderly, rational, and coherent account of the doctrines of the Christian faith. It addresses issues such as what the Bible teaches about certain topics or what is true about God and his universe. Our intention is to bring ministries into a global virtual reality hybrid school/university system where there is homeschooling, teaching in the assembly, and combining it in the classrooms with on-the-job training. Walking Your Vision University teaching is systematic theology. There are 195 countries in which we will expand this training over the period of five to ten years. The above paragraph is the summation of our mission statement.
