Line of Sight: Klaus Landsberg His Life and Vision

Line of Sight: Klaus Landsberg His Life and Vision

Createspace Independent Publishing Platform

This unique book, winner of the Irwin Award for "Best Historical Portrayal of 2016", traces the history of West Coast television from its infancy and centers on one of its foremost pioneers, Klaus Landsberg. Born in Germany, Landsberg fled Nazi oppression in 1937 and his "passport to freedom" to the United States was an invention of high value to the Allied war effort. As a new immigrant, Landsberg found work with NBC and RCA as the company debuted television at the 1939 New York World's Fair. He later went on to achieve many firsts in the fledgling industry after founding Paramount Pictures' experimental television station W6XYZ in Hollywood, that later became KTLA, the first commercial TV station west of the Mississippi. In the early days of television, Landsberg and his "dream team" of people in front of and behind the cameras helped invent a whole new medium of communication and entertainment. Everything was live and there were no do-overs. Known as the "golden boy" of television, he discovered an amazing roster of stars from wrestler "Gorgeous George" to bandleader Lawrence Welk. He realized early on that television could turn its viewers into eyewitnesses at major news events and began hauling his cameras to the places where stories were breaking. He set the standard for the long-form live news coverage that we take for granted today. When the U.S. government gave permission for the press to cover an early atom bomb test in the Nevada desert, Landsberg pushed for the chance to televise it live. Others said it couldn't be done...that it was impossible given the state of the early television art...but Klaus Landsberg didn't listen to the naysayers and pulled off the broadcast by hauling bulky electronic equipment to the tops of mountains and setting up a chain of relay stations. When the bomb went off, viewers across the country saw it, live. Told from the vantage point of longtime journalist Evelyn De Wolfe, Landsberg's first wife, this is an intimate portrait of an engineering genius and showman who was part Edison, part P.T. Barnum. George Lewis, a veteran of 42 years with NBC News who started his career as a war correspondent in Vietnam, assisted Ms. De Wolfe. Most histories of television have concentrated on the early efforts of the broadcast networks in New York. This book offers a fresh perspective on the landmark contributions of a West Coast pioneer who did so much to shape television as we know it today.

Across Canada peace officers put their lives on the line every day. From John Fisk in 1804, the first known Canadian policeman killed in the line of duty, to the four RCMP officers shot to death in Mayerthorpe, Alberta, in 2005, renowned true crime writer Edward Butts takes a hard-hitting, compassionate, probing look at some of the stories involving the hundreds of Canadian law-enforcement officers who have found themselves in harm's way. Some, like the four RCMP officers who perished in the Northwest Territories on the 'Lost Patrol' of 1910, died in horrible accidents while performing their duties. Others, such as the Mounties involved in the manhunts for Almighty Voice and the Mad Trapper of Rat River, found themselves in extremely dangerous, violent situations. One thing is certain about all of these peace officers: they displayed amazing courage and never hesitated to make the ultimate sacrifice for their fellow citizens.

“For those of us teaching higher education in art and design schools, Line Color Form is the answer to a problem so many of us face: How to help bright students, non-native and native speakers alike, who struggle to find words to express what they see.”--Yael Samuel, Otis College of Art and Design In exquisite full color with a plethora of instructive visuals, Line Color Form offers a thorough introduction to design theory and terminology in a visually appealing and accessible format. This unique guide takes into account that design students today are more visually literate than ever before, and their learning style naturally favors the visual over the textual. So why should they learn art and design theory from a traditional textbook? With hundreds of illustrations and minimal text, this primer was created with visual learners in mind, making it ideal for art students as well as those for whom English is a second language. Each chapter focuses on a single aspect of visual composition, such as line, color, or material. After an illustrated discussion of fundamental vocabulary, the chapters move on to applications of the concepts covered. These applications are again demonstrated through images, including photographs, color wheels, significant works of art, and other visual aids. Each image is accompanied by a descriptive paragraph offering an example of how the vocabulary can be applied in visual analysis. The book culminates with a section on formal analysis, aimed at teaching readers how to express their observations in formal writing and critical discourse. With its emphasis on the visual, this unique guide is a highly effective learning tool, allowing readers to gain an ownership and mastery of terms that will benefit them academically and professionally. Whether you are a design educator, student, or professional, native or non-native English speaker, this bright and concise reference is a must.

Drawing is the starting point for many kinds of tasks, for everyone from children making pictures to professional architects sketching ideas. Drawing seems to be fundamentally connected to how we represent the world visually. Most computer graphics focuses on realistic visual simulation, but over the past few decades, line drawing algorithms have matured, providing the ability to automatically create reasonable line drawings from 3D geometry. This tutorial provides a detailed guide to the mathematical theory and computer algorithms for line drawing of 3D objects. It focuses on the curves known as contours as they are the most important curves for line drawing of 3D surfaces. The authors describe the different algorithms required to compute and render these curves, before going on to explain boundary curves and surface-surface intersection curves. The tutorial concludes with other topics in 3D non-photorealistic rendering including: other types of curves, stroke rendering, and non-photorealistic shading.Line Drawings from 3D Models: A Tutorial is a concise, yet comprehensive, introduction to an increasingly important topic in computer graphics. The extensive bibliography is invaluable for readers wishing to further their own research in the area.
