Comics; the Holocaust and Hiroshima breaks new ground for history by exploring the relationship between comics as a cultural record; historiography; memory and trauma studies. Comics have a dual role as sources: for gauging awareness of the Holocaust and through close analysis; as testimonies and narratives of childhood emotions and experiences.

It is well written; generally straightforward to follow; and the diagrams; illustrations and images are excellent. Some of the material is covered in a comprehensive way.However; all of the content is taken from; and is directly applicable to; Photoshop CS5. For a book for which the copyright status is given as 2013; this is really problematic; given that Photoshop CS6 has been available as the newest release since the Spring of this year. The same applies to several of the associated applications covered in the book also; such as Adobe Configurator. In this case what the book actually covers is version 2.0 - the 2012-issued software is Configurator 3.0. The book mentions "ScriptingListener" as one of the key Adobe utilities - the newest version is actually available as ScriptListener (and seems to have been called by this name since at least the CS4 era). It does not install in Photoshop CS6 by the same procedure as is given in the book.Another disappointment is that there is no dedicated website for the book itself. Though there are links provided (at the end of the book) to resources at and associated with Adobe; they do not include the Adobe support forum (for scripting) nor any pointers to independent centers of expertise or downloadable material. Just about every current book which is covering the feature set of Photoshop CS6 in a comprehensive way; for either beginners or advanced users; has a companion CD (even DVDs in some cases) and/or an online repository of example work; projects; etc.If you are interested in working to improve your skills with automated workflows in Photoshop; this book can be useful. But it does not cover Adobes newest software; and not so the new initiatives with CS Extensions either. It does not even give the reader (access to) just a few Action samples or Sets which would represent good and current practice in recording a range of multiple use routines or project examples. Overall; as a guide and manual; this book seems best characterized as missing more opportunities than it will assist the reader to create.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy GregLots of great info (not as much on scripting; but a great overall resource).
