It is one thing to collect classic single-lens reflex cameras, but quite another to use them to take first-rate photographs. Now, with this authoritative new guide to SLRs, experienced photographers and beginners alike can confidently do both. Ivor Matanle brings some forty years of experience to this exhaustive and practical book, which includes descriptions and evaluations of the principal makes and models from the late nineteenth century to the early 1980s; instructions on testing and checking for faults; pictures of classic cameras, lenses, and equipment, from Adams to Zenit, Graflex to Pentax, Thornton-Pickard to Nikon, Canon and Exakta; information on repairers and dealers; and listings of collectors' clubs and groups. Virtually all the book's photographs were taken with classic SLRs, and each picture is fully captioned with information about the camera and lens used to take the shot, together with details of the film, processing, and printing. Collecting and Using Classic SLRs will help expert and novice, collector and user, to learn more about the cameras they admire - and to enjoy them with greater understanding.
Presidential Bloopers
The American President. Powerful. Influential. Well-respected. And sometimes all too human! Laugh along with the presidents as they laugh at themselves in this celebration of the funniest and most down-to-earth moments of the American presidency-a rare, behind-the-scenes look at some of the most outrageous White House wackiness ever captured on video.
Some of the hilarious un-presidential moments you'll witness include Gerald Ford stumbling off Air Force One, Ronald Reagan catching a few winks during a live new conference, George Bush sliding head-first down a bowling alley, Bill Clinton yukking it up with Boris Yelstin and much more! "Presidential Bloopers" is an affectionate tribute to our nation's leaders as they slip, slide, misspell, misspeak, bumble and blunder their way into history. The only thing they have to fear is ...flubbing in front of a camera.

Ever since the groundbreaking work of George Williams, W. D. Hamilton, and Richard Dawkins, evolutionary biologists have recognized that natural selection generally does not operate for the good of the group, but rather for the good of lower-level units such as the individual, the cell, even the gene. One of the fundamental problems of biology is: what keeps competition between these various levels of natural selection from destroying the common interests to be gained from cooperation? In this volume, twelve prominent scientists explore this question, presenting a comprehensive survey of the current theoretical and empirical research in evolutionary biology.
Recent studies show that at many levels of biological organization, mechanisms have evolved to prevent potential conflict in natural selection. Editor Laurent Keller's aim in this book is to bring together leading researchers from all biological disciplines to outline these potential conflicts and discuss how they are resolved. A...
