In recent years, the problem of seeing through the atmosphere has been given intensive and costly consideration in several quarters, but particularly in the Untied States and Great Britain. A problem which once concerned mainly the meteorologists has become of great importance in military tactics as well as in peacetime transportation. The present volume is the only full account in English of the physical, physiological, and psychological factors which lie at the basis of the calculation of the range of vision through the atmosphere. There is an extended chapter on instruments and one on the author's own theory of the colours of distant objects. The figures are from many sources althrough many of them have been drawn specially for this book. The bibliography contains 420 entries nearly all of which are directly referred to in the text.

He wanted me to tell people about him. What it was like to know him, to be around him, to listen to him. I pulled up across from the girl's house. Always polite, she thanked me for the ride and started to open the door. Instantly, bright lights scorched our eyes. Huge searchlights exploded on all sides. An even brighter light burst from above, accompanied by the thumping of helicopter blades. "FREEZE!," boomed a voice from seemingly nowhere. The girl froze - half in and half out of the car. I was too stunned to move. Black shadows of men could barely be seen beyond the lights No one moved. No one spoke. Then finally, a softer voice was heard, saying "It's okay. It's coach." - Chapter one: School and Kids So I ran that day, sweating and praying. The dog trotted ahead, always sniffing and - as usual - curious about life. All of a sudden, there came a noise like a mighty wind, but there was no wind. The dog stopped and looked at me as if to say, "Uh, dude, what's up with that?" - Chapter three: Animals It took me a minute to speak. I was having a hard time taking it all in. A woman I never met before sat beside me. God spoke to her, about me. There was no way she could have known what was happening in my life, since up to that point, I hadn't even told my own family. Yet it upset her so much that she had literally cried during the entire service. -Chapter six: Church A moment went by, and I listened carefully. "Now, what do you see?" Instantly the room exploded with blinding light. I blinked back the brightness, and thunder rolled nearby. - Chapter eight: Visions

Because nature is so expansive and complex, so varied in its range of light, landscape painters often have to look further and more deeply to find form and structure, value patterns, and an organized arrangement of shapes. In Landscape Painting, Mitchell Albala shares his concepts and practices for translating nature's grandeur, complexity, and color dynamics into convincing representations of space and light. Concise, practical, and inspirational, Landscape Painting focuses on the greatest challenges for the landscape artist, such as: • Simplification and Massing: Learn to reduce nature's complexity by looking beneath the surface of a subject to discover the form's basic masses and shapes.• Color and Light: Explore color theory as it specifically applies to the landscape, and learn the various strategies painters use to capture the illusion of natural light.• Selection and Composition: Learn to select wisely from nature's vast panorama. Albala shows you the essential cues to look for and how to find the most promising subject from a world of possibilities. The lessons in Landscape Painting—based on observation rather than imitation and applicable to both plein air and studio practice—are accompanied by painting examples, demonstrations, photographs, and diagrams. Illustrations draw from the work of more than 40 contemporary artists and such masters of landscape painting as John Constable, Sanford Gifford, and Claude Monet. Based on Albala's 25 years of experience and the proven methods taught at his successful plein air workshops, this in-depth guide to all aspects of landscape painting is a must-have for anyone getting started in the genre, as well as more experienced practitioners who want to hone their skills or learn new perspectives.
