The first fully-fledged example of a revenge tragedy; the genre that became so influential in later Elizabethan and Jacobean drama; The Spanish Tragedy (1589) occupies a very special place in the history of English Renaissance drama. Hieronimo; Knight-Marshal of Spain during its war with Portugal; fails to obtain justice when his son is murdered for courting Bel-Imperia; the Duke of Castiles daughter; and decides to take justice into his own hands...This new student edition has been freshly revised by Professor Andrew Gurr to incorporate the latest stage history and critical interpretations of the play. It also appends the scenes that were added in 1602; discusses Elizabethan attitudes to revenge; the Senecan features of the play and the significance of the Anglo-Spanish conflict in the 1580s.

Serious tips and techniques for photographers of the moon.By Paul MastinI have to admit; the reason I picked up Nicholas Dupont-Blochs book Shoot the Moon: A Complete Guide to Lunar Imaging is that I wanted to look at pretty pictures of the moon. There are few of those; but this book is much; much more than that. If you desire to take pictures of the moon; this is an invaluable resource.Dupont-Bloch covers a wide array of shooting scenarios. For the amateur hobbyist on a budget; he has plenty of suggestions for using your smartphone; basic camera; or digital SLR to get interesting pictures. For photographers with sophisticated equipment (or a budget to get some sophisticated equipment) he has more tips and techniques. The portions that might be most helpful are his methods to rig equipment and repurpose items for filming or storage of images.A coffee table book for the casual reader Shoot the Moon is not. But for the budding photographer who wants to take the time and put forth the effort to capture coffee-table-book-worthy images; Shoot the Moon should be in his or her photographic library.Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Detailed; Comprehensive and InvaluableBy Richard J. BartlettTo describe this book as being comprehensive would be a massive disservice; it covers every aspect of lunar astrophotography as well as the equipment and techniques yoursquo;ll need to achieve the best results. Besides standard photography with a regular camera; it also discusses smartphones and video cameras; proving you donrsquo;t need to have a big budget to achieve some impressive results.After starting with the basics (an overview of equipment and the characteristics of the Moon) the book then delves into more much greater detail about the imaging equipment to be used. Every type of equipment is reviewed; from telescopes and tripods to eyepieces and cameras. There are several chapters devoted to adapting the equipment before the book starts getting into the nitty gritty of the imaging itself.First up is wide-field imaging; which includes landscapes; halos; eclipses; occultations; conjunctions and Earthshine. Beyond that are a number of chapters that cover high resolution photography in quite some detail and includes a chapter on the types of features that are worth capturing. The techniques discussed come with a basic but useful table to show the difficulty rating and the pages are liberally laden with examples and illustrations to help you.Lastly; we have a chapter on naming and sharing your images; including a look at storage methods from CDrsquo;s and thumb drives to the cloud and publishing the images online. There are also appendices with a map of the Moon; the lunar 100 and resources such as books; software and websites.Itrsquo;s detailed but still readable and draws upon the authorrsquo;s extensive experience as well as the experience of others. Lunar imagers; from beginners to experts; will find it invaluable and I dare say stellar and planetary imagers could also learn a lot too.
