In recent years numerous films; television series; comic books; graphic novels and video games have featured time travel narratives; with characters jumping backward; forward and laterally through time. No rules govern time travel in these stories. Some characters move by machine; some by magic; others by unexplained means. Sometime travelers can alter the timeline; while others are prevented from causing temporal aberrations. The fluid forms of imagined time travel have fascinated audiences and prompted debate since at least the 19th century. What is behind our fascination with time travel? What does it mean to be out of onersquo;s own era? How do different media tell these stories and what does this reveal about the mediarsquo;s relationship to time? This collection of new essaysmdash;the first to address time travel across a range of mediamdash;answers these questions by locating time travel narratives within their cultural; historical and philosophical contexts. Texts discussed include Doctor Who; The Terminator; The Georgian House; Save the Date; Back to the Future; Inception; Source Code and others.

Elizabeth is a true master both technically and personally. I was honored to participate in a class taught by the Homans and watched in amazement as they worked with families. They are all about creating a memorable event as well as spectacular images. The book is packed with stunning photographs and illustrations showing how they were created. I treasure PHOTOGRAPHING FAMILIES: Designing...... and believe it is worth every dime I paid. If you desire to elevate the quality and uniqueness of your family portrait sessions; get this book. You will find it filled with beautiful photographs and inspiration.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful.
