What are some good items on the National History Day?
The theme is "innovation in History: Impact and Change." I will not go for anything too trendy, because they have not written much about it. (Like the computer.) I'd love it to be something I would be interested in, such as photography or music, but I will go for any good ideas. Note: An innovation is not necessarily an invention!
You could do something about the use of labor in World War II and how they helped the Allies win the war. You can also write about Maria Montessori, who was a teacher too innovative.

Photography and Flight $39.47 DIVDIVDIVUsed for everything from geographic evaluation to secret spy missions, aerial photography has a rich and storied history, ably recounted here inIPhotography and Flight/I./DIVDIVBRAerial photography is marked by its dependency on technological developments in both photography and aerospace, and the authors chart the history of this photography as it tracked the evolution of these technologies. Beginning with early images taken from hot-air balloons, fixed platforms, and subsequent handheld camera technology, Denis Cosgrove and William Fox then explain how military reconnaissance and governmental projects were instrumental in catalyzing these and other innovations in the field. They examine pivotal historical moments in which aerial photography began to establish itself as essential tool, such as in World War II military strategies, high-altitude photography taken from postwar rockets and aircraft, and the use of aerial photography during the cold war and the Cuban Missile Crisis. The book also explores the advancement of geographic scholarship through aerial photography, ranging from military excursions into Antarctica to the images of the curvature of the earth taken during the Apollo space missions./DIVDIVBRWhile digital technology and remote sensing have changed the landscape of photography,IPhotography and Flight/Iargues that they have not diminished the significance of aerial photography in providing images of the earth. Rather, new technologies and resulting innovations such as Google Earth have enabled the mass democratization of access to such information.IPhotography and Flight/Iultimately reveals how the camera lens from far away continues to unearth telling details about the land and those who live upon it./DIVDIV /DIV/DIV/DIVDIVOne     The View from AboveBRBRTwo    The Camera in the SkyBRBRThree  The Airman's Vision: World War II and AfterBRBRFour&#@C¼(õÂ?\ÿ¾Úð |

Futurism and Photography $52.8 Futurism touched many art forms, among which photography is the least explored; the Futurists, however, came to consider photography a privileged medium, capable of expressing the dynamism they held so dear. The photographs they produced can be considered as documents of the avant-garde activism of the early part of the twentieth century or emblematic images of the mythology of the Futurist revolution, as well as works of art in their own right. Futurism and Photography considers the innovations of the period from 1909 to 1939, when Futurist photographers such as Arturo and Anton Giulio Bragaglia, Giorgio Riccardo Carmelich, Fortunato Depero, Edmund Kesting, Enrico Pedrotti and Tato experimented with multiple portraits, abstract photography, photomontage and photocollage, as well as reportage that took for its subject-matter those things considered to embody 'modernity' and 'dynamism': dance, sport and the industrial world. This ground-breaking study fills long-standing gaps in the history both of photography and of the avant-garde culture of the twentieth century.A ground-breaking study of the influence of the Italian modern art movement on photography. |

Photography and Science $30.95 DIVDIVDIVHow do we know what an amoeba looks like? How can doctors see the details of our skeletons and internal organs? What enables us to see an exploding star in another galaxy? All of these things are made possible through the innovations of photography. Kelley Wilder now provides a primer on the remarkably fruitful applications of photography to science, as she explores the multiple facets of this complex relationship./DIVDIVBRKelley Wilder draws upon her extensive background in alternative process photography, museum practice, art history, and history of science to produce a wide-ranging and illuminating investigation into the intersection of photography and science.IPhotography and Science/Idescribes how photography first established its legitimacy through its close association with key scientific ideas and practices, such as objectivity, observation, archiving, and experimentation. Wilder then charts how photography returned the favor by serving as a powerful influence in various scientific disciplines, such as biology and astronomy. The book digs into the controversial debates over photography’s “success” in the sciences, its use in practical fields such as medical imaging and x-raying, and the complicated relationship between scientific theory and art practice./DIVDIVBRAugmenting this fascinating study are eighty photographs of scientific subjects and experiments, many of which are published here for the first time. A thought-provoking, broad-based examination,IPhotography and Science/Iwill be an essential addition to the bookshelves of scientists, photographers, and art historians alike./DIVDIV /DIV/DIV/DIVDIVIntroduction/DIVDIVOne: Photography and Observation/DIVDIVTwo: Photography and Experiment/DIVDIVThree: Photography and the Archive/DIVDIVFour: Art and the Scientific Photograph/DIVDIV /DIVDIVGlossary/DIVDIVReferences/DIVDIVSelect Bibliography/DIV@ó33333ÿ¾Úð |

After Photography $11.98 <em>After Photography</em> examines the myriad ways in which the digital revolution has fundamentally altered the way we receive visual information, from photos of news events taken by ordinary people on cell phones to the widespread use of image surveillance. In a world beset by critical problems and ambiguous boundaries, Fred Ritchin argues that it is time to begin energetically exploring the possibilities created by digital innovations and to use them to better understand our rapidly changing world.<p>Ritchinone of our most influential commentators on photographyinvestigates the future of visual media as the digital revolution transforms images into a hypertextual medium, fundamentally changing the way we conceptualize the world. Simultaneously, the increased manipulation of photographs makes photography suspect as reliable documentation, raising questions about its role in recounting personal and public histories. In the tradition of John Berger and Susan Sontag, Ritchin analyzes photography's failings and reveals untapped potentials for the medium. </p>Starred Review. Ritchen (<em>In Our Own Image</em>) offers a supple, politically astute and fascinating account of the dizzying impact of the digital revolution on the trajectory of the photographic image that, like all new media, changes the world in the very act of observing it....A fascinating look at the perils and possibilities of photography in a digital age. |
