This is the largest selection ever made from the famous Muybridge sequence high-speed photographs of human motion. Containing 4,789 photographs, it illustrates some 163 different types of action: elderly man lifting log, woman sweeping, woman climbing ladder, men boxing and wrestling, child crawling, man lifting weight, man jumping, and 155 other types of action, some of which are illustrated by as many as 62 different photographs. Taken at speeds ranging up to 1/6000th of a second, these photographs show bone and muscle positions against ruled backgrounds. Almost all subjects are undraped, and all actions are shown from three angles: front, rear, and three-quarter view. These historic photographs, one of the great monuments of 19th century photography, are reproduced original size, with all the clarity and detail of the originals. As a complete thesaurus of human action, it has never been superseded. Muybridge was a genius of photography, who had unlimited financial, technical, and scientific backing at the University of Pennsylvania. This volume presents the final selection from more than 100,000 negatives made at an expenditure of more than $50,000. It has never been superseded as a sourcebook for artists, students, animators, and art directors.

"The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters..." The Book of Psalms is one of the Bible's most cherished and widely read books. With 150 poems, songs, and prayers, it expresses the full range of human emotions, from joy and praise to sorrow and lament. Once attributed solely to the biblical King David, it is now believed to reflect Israel's entire history from the period of the Exodus (13th century BCE) to the postexilic restoration (after 600 BCE). The message of the Psalms remains relevant, offering followers of Judaism and Christianity comfort, spiritual guidance, and hope amid their own challenges and struggles. This edition of the Psalms, reprinted complete and unabridged from the Old Testament of the King James Bible, is designed to be a daily devotional with contemplation questions included. Featuring beautiful images and stirring verses, each entry offers a rich source of wisdom and uplifting insight that can motivate the growth of one's faith and lead to a more joyful and fulfilling life.
