A mix between digital and analog photography, the book wanders between everyday moments (a girl’s head resting on the dashboard of a car, a group of friends walking down a street as the sun sets behind them), deliberate stagings (two hands touching with an unnatural gesture, a fishbowl held as if to replace a head), and spectacular views (a car burning on the side of the road). The title “Ecstatic Nature” refers not only to the book’s subject matter but also to the cyanotype process used for some of the images, tinting them a monochromatic shade of blue.  “The cyanotype process emphasizes how when an image is simplified, it can reveal itself, be more emotionally resonant, truer to form (…). Photographs are like rubbings of three-dimensional reality, translations of impressions.” ― Tim Barber","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49752379523345,"sku":"NGR9782369620198","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/2369620196.jpg?v=1751419726"},{"product_id":"expressly-human-book-mark-changizi-9781637740484","title":"Expressly Human","description":"Good communication, conventional wisdom suggests, is calm, logical, rational. Emotions, we're told, just get in the way. But what if this is backwards? What if those emotional overtones are the main messages we're sending to one another, and all that logical language is just window dressing? Over billions of years of evolution, animals have become increasingly sophisticated and increasingly sentient. In the process, they evolved emotions, which helped improve their odds of survival in complex situations.   These emotions were, at first, purely internal. But at some point, social animals began expressing their emotions, in increasingly dramatic ways. These emotional expressions could accurately reflect internal emotions (smiling to express happiness) -- or they could be quite different (smiling to cover up that you're actually furious, but can't tell your boss that).   Why did once-stone-faced animals evolve to be so emotionally expressive -- to be us?   The answer, as evolutionary neurobiologist Mark Changizi and mathematician Tim Barber reveal, is that emotional expressions are our first and most important language -- one that allows us, as social animals, to engage in highly sophisticated communications and negotiations.   Expressly Human introduces an original theory that explains, from first principles, how the broad range of emotional expressions evolved, and provides a Rosetta Stone for human communication. It will revolutionize the way you see every social interaction, from deciding who gets the last slice of pizza to multimillion-dollar business negotiations, and change your definition of what makes us human.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50120529576209,"sku":"CIN1637740484G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52837072634129,"sku":"GOR014635847","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53122967863569,"sku":"NIN9781637740484","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1637740484.jpg?v=1750960288"},{"product_id":"tinyvices-jason-nocito-book-tim-barber-9781597110839","title":"TinyVices: Jason Nocito","description":"Aperture is pleased to present five of the most promising photographers featured on tinyvices.com, the popular online gallery founded by independent curator and photographer Tim Barber. Presented in five separate volumes, and limited to one thousand copies per edition, the series reflects the loose spirit of the website, and offers a range of styles and approaches to photography—Kenneth Cappello’s casual snapshots of the skate scene of his youth, Allan Macintyre’s rigorous investigations of geological activity, Jason Nocito’s playful groupings of disparate images, Robin Schwartz’s disquieting portraits of her daughter, Jaimie Warren’s theatrical self-portraits. Each book will be introduced by a prominent artist, writer, or curator. Since its inception in 2005, tinyvices has become an influential platform for emerging and underexposed talent, featuring the work of hundreds of photographers and artists, including Ryan McGinley and Dash Snow. Its corresponding exhibition opened in New York in 2006, and has since toured worldwide, from Proyectos Monclova in Mexico City to Colette in Paris.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51038557995281,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51038560977169,"sku":"NIN9781597110839","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52688604922129,"sku":"NLS9781597110839","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1597110833.jpg?v=1750719690"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-au\/collections\/author-books-by-tim-barber.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
