The origin of cameras

The history  of the camera can be traced much further back than the introduction of photography.  Cameras evolved from the camera obscura, and continued to change through many  generations of photographic technology, including daguerreotypes,calotypes,  dry plates, film, and digital cameras.

Photographic  camer as were a development of the camera obscura, a device possibly dating  back to the ancient Chinese and ancient Greeks, which uses a pinholeor lens  to project an image of the scene outside upside-down onto a viewing surface.

An  Arabphysicist, Ibn al-Haytham, published his Book of Optics in 1021 AD. He  created the first pinhole camera after observing how light traveled through a  window shutter. Ibn al-Haytham realized that smaller holes would create  sharper images. Ibn al-Haytham is also credited with inventing the first  camera obscura.

On  24January 1544 mathematician and instrument maker Reiners Gemma Frisius of  Leuven University used one to watch a solar eclipse, publishing a diagram of  his method in De Radio Astronimica et Geometrico in the following year.  In1558 Giovanni Batista della Porta was the first to recommend the method as  an aid to drawing.

Beforethe  invention of photographic processes there was no way to preserve the images produced  by these cameras apart from manually tracing them. The earliest cameras were  room-sized, with space for one or more people inside; these gradually evolved  into more and more compact models such as that by Niépce's time portable  handheld cameras suitable for photography were readily available. The first  camera that was small and portable enough to be practical for photography was  envisioned by Johann Zahn in 1685, though it would be almost 150 years before  such an application was possible.

What is the Tree Top Barbie project?

Tree Top Barbie was designed to inspire  youth – especially young girls – to become aware of the field of the  forest canopy. She is a real Barbie doll, but wears hand-tailored clothes  that are modeled on real field clothes and climbing gear, including a field  guide to canopy plants and animals (both Barbie- and human-sized). The Tree Top  Barbie package includes the doll and a personal letter from Barbie about  forests and their importance to people.

What issues does this project address?

Tree Top Barbie can serve as a role  model to encourage young girls in directions that are alternatives to the  mainstream Barbie doll and what she represents in our society. Tree Top  Barbie and her accompanying educational materials also provide a link between  youth and an exciting part of the natural world in tropical and temperate  ecosystems.

How can I get a  Tree Top Barbie?

Tree Top Barbie is distributed by The  International Canopy Network (ICAN), a not-for-profit organization dedicated  to promoting forest canopy conservation through research and education. Funds  generated will support this and other out reach activities.

Exploration of forest canopies is no  easy task—since researchers can't cross between tree-tops,  they have to clamber up trunks, explore, descend, and then climb the next. Or  they did, until the advent of the SolVin Bretzel Canopy Raft.

Acanopy raft is, basically, an  inflatable PVC pontoon frame with high-tension netting spread between.  They're pre-inflated and lifted into positioned via airship, dirigible, or  helicopter. Once in position, the rafts are set down among the tree-tops,  allowing researchers unfettered access to the up per most reaches of the  forest ecosystem. Scientists can observe from the raft, rappel from it too—they can even live on its temporary floor  for several days at a time.

The pretzel shape of the raft in the  top image is known as a SolVin Bretzel, created by architect Gilles Ebersolt  (yes, like "Pretzel" but in German), a recent design that replaced  the previous, octagonal raft shape. Its unique 400m² area offers numerous advantages over it spredecessors. It's  a more structurally sound platform that maximizes surf ace area, preventing  any outlying section from folding or collapsing. It's also extremely  lightweight—meaning it doesn't crush the new growth  of the canopy upon which it rests.

Grimm's Fairy Tales

This book contains 209 tales collected  by the brothers Grimm.

The exact print source is unknown. The text  appears to be based on the translation by Margaret Hunt called Grimm's  Household Tales, but it is not identical to her edition. (Some of the  translations are slightly different, the arrangement also differs, and the  Grimm's scholarly notes are not included.)

The first volume of the first edition  was published in 1812, containing 86 stories; the second volume of 70 stories  followed in 1815. For the second edition, two volumes were issued in 1819 and  a third in 1822, totaling 170 tales. The third edition appeared in 1837;  fourth edition, 1840; fifth edition, 1843; sixth edition, 1850; seventh  edition, 1857. Stories were added, and also subtracted, from one edition to  the next, until the seventh held 211 tales. All editions were extensively  illustrated, first by Philipp Grot Johann and, after his death in 1892, by German  illustrator Robert Leinweber

The first volumes were much criticized  because, although they were called "Children's Tales", they were  not regarded as suitable for children, both for the scholarly information  included and the subject matter.[1] Many changes through the editions – such as turning the wicked mother of  the first edition in Snow White and Hansel and Gretel (shown in original  Grimm stories asHänsel and Grethel) to a stepmother, were  probably made with an eye to such suitability. They removed sexual references—such as Rapunzel's innocently asking  why her dress was getting tight around her belly, and thus naïvely revealing to her stepmother her  pregnancy and the prince's visits—but,  in many respects, violence, particularly when punishing villains, was  increased.

In1825, the Brothers published their  Kleine Ausgabe or "small edition", a selection of 50 tales designed  for child readers. This children's version went through ten editions between  1825 and 1858.

Influence

The influence of these books was  widespread. W. H. Auden praised the collection, during World War II, as one  of the founding works of Western culture. The tales themselves have been put  to many uses. Hitler praised them as folkish tales showing children with  sound racial instincts seeking racially pure marriage partners, and so  strongly that the Allied forces warned against them; for instance, Cinderella  with the heroine as racially pure, the stepmother as an alien, and the prince  with an unspoiled instinct being able to distinguish. Writers who have  written about the Holocaust have combined the tales with their memoirs, as  Jane Yolen in her Briar Rose.

The work of the Brothers Grimm  influenced other collectors, both inspiring them to collect tales and leading  them to similarly believe, in a spirit of romantic nationalism, that the  fairy tales of a country were particularly representative of it, to the  neglect of cross-cultural influence. Among those influenced were the Russian  Alexander, the Norwegians, the English Joseph Jacobs, and Jeremiah Curtin, an  American who collected Irish tales. There was not always a pleased reaction  to their collection. Joseph Jacobs was in part inspired by his complaint that  English children did not read English fairy tales;[8] in his own words, "What  Perrault began, the Grimms completed".

Three individual works of Wilhelm Grimm  include Altdänische Heldenlieder, Balladen and Märchen ('Old Danish Heroic Songs,  Ballads, and Folktales') in 1811, Überdeutsche  Runen ('On German Runes') in 1821, and Die deutsche Heldensage ('The German  Heroic Saga') in 1829.
