The castle / by Mosse, Richard,author,photographer.(CARDINAL)353064; Boochani, Behrouz,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)785352; Butler, Judith,1956-writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)657492; Saint-Amour, Paul K.,writer of supplementary textual content.(CARDINAL)785353;
The Castle' is a meticulous documentation of refugee camps and staging sites along mass migration routes into the European Union via Turkey from the Middle East and Central Asia. The result of numerous preparatory visits, often revealing changing immigration policy, Mosse has filmed each site from high elevation to reveal camps that are frequently closed, off limits, or restricted to photographers. By attaching a thermographic video camera designed for long range border enforcement and insurgent detection to a robotic motion control arm, Mosse has gathered the source footage used to composite the resulting heat maps. These durational photographs are thermal panoramas made up of hundreds or sometimes thousands of overlapping cells or individual frames, a truncated spatio-temporal form that speaks to the lived experience of refugees indefinitely awaiting asylum and trapped in a Byzantine state of limbo.

Getting a feel for lunar craters : a tactile view / by Runyon, Cassandra,author,editor,graphic designer.; Hurd, David,1962-author,editor.(CARDINAL)822138; Minafra, Joseph,author,editor.; Matelock, John,graphic designer.(CARDINAL)818562; United States.National Aeronautics and Space Administration.(CARDINAL)137327; Lunar Science Institute.(CARDINAL)818960;
"Today, our understanding of the Moon has been enhanced by human exploration, orbiting satellites, and modern technology. New imaging from high-resolution cameras has enabled scientists to map the surface and subsurface. Soon, robotic missions will go to the Moon and return more rock samples and future explorers will once again place their footprints in the Moon's ٢soil٣ or regolith, just as the Apollo astronauts did 50 years ago. Until then, we continue to learn more about the dynamics that have shaped the Moon's landscape by ٢viewing٣ the Moon through the eyes of instruments that uncover clues that lead us ever closer to understanding the Moon and its significance. This book is designed to give you the basics about lunar craters and basin formation and a bit of history on America's Apollo spacecraft and the astronaut's spacesuit."--companion PDF.
