Ocean: A Photicular Book (Photicular Books) (Photicular Books - Animal Kingdom)

Product Information

Sometimes a book just reaches out and grabs me. “Safari: a photicular book”, grabbed me and I am having trouble letting it go. I had it with me for days while out at the Reference Desk because I wanted to write about it and couldn’t figure out how to describe it. But now it is ready for another reader and I have to say goodbye. At least while I had it at the desk I was able to share it with others, (whether they really wanted to see it or not).

This Bat for Lashes article on Pitchfork is by far, still one of the best examples I’ve ever come across. Not only is it instantly striking, it enhances the interview in a luxurious way that print cannot do. It’s a great way of making a long post on the web more readable, and more engaging. To get super meta, here’s a GIF of me playing with a “rubbable” GIF: The squishing is just what the GIF is of, it’s the ability to scrub through the GIFs frames that is interesting here. Well, squishing Steve Buscemi’s head is interesting too, but you know what I mean. Related I was simply amazed when I looked through it! Even my Husband had to come over and see for himself.Dan Kainen and Carol Kaufmann tell their story of a personal safari, led by their guide, Massek, who showed them the many splendors that are there, thrilling, inviting and frightening at the same time. The text by Carol Kaufmann enchants with its descriptions of coral reefs; a journey on Alvin , the 17-ton submersible; and a meditation on our oceans. Then, for each creature, she writes a lively and informative essay, along with vital statistics—size, habitat, range, diet, and more.

Registered in England and Wales No. 8055444 Each photo is accompanied with a factual (paragraph-style written) account of each animal: their habitat, typical day-in-the-life and so forth.But I'm not sure of the audience. I don't think children brought up on high quality video and multi-media ebooks on iPads will be impressed for long before asking the question "What else does it do?" Dan Kainen is an artist, designer, and inventor living in New York City. He is the creator of the bestselling Photicular books, Safari, Ocean and Polar. While working with some of the pioneers of holography, Dan created a special spotlight that was used by Soho's Museum of Holography to light holograms. The related field of holography led to Dan's interest in lenticular art, and in turn, after nearly a decade of research and experimentation, to the creation of his 'Motion Viewer,' his third patent in that field and the inspiration for Safari and the other Photicular books. It’s not Photicular, but it uses the same kind of slotted paper tabs you pull to make the images change.
