In conventional color photography; spectral sensitizers cooperate with silver halide as acceptors of light during the exposure process; color developers reduce silver halide grains during the developing process; and finally the resulting oxidized developers react with couplers to form imaging dyes. Instant color photography gives us an alternative way of realizing excellent color reproduction; in which dyes changing their diffusibility play an important role. The aim of this book is to provide researchers and graduate students with a perspective on how such organic compounds work in color photography and how seemingly miraculous techniques based on organic chemistry lead to color images of high quality. The readers will acquire the philosophy and learn from hints on how to develop functionalized organic compounds.

Not the Best Available� Flaws Due Mostly to Design / EditingBy Renee ThorpeThere are some very nice glossy photos in here; but once I got it home and started studying it; the disappointment set in. The book heavily features hotel gardens; and I mean the massive gardens like the Bali Hyatt; not the intimate; small hotel gardens like the Tandjung Saris.It is good that the editor includes photos of some of Balis most interesting gardens; such as Tirta Gangga; Walter Spies Tjampuhan residence; and several sites designed by Made Wijaya; but these photos do not always do the places justice (strange angles; views of the gardens that do not show their best aspects). I concede that the exception to this is the section devoted to the gardens of the Batujimbar estate; which is the second best part of this book. But many of the photos left me wanting more variety; smaller margins (larger actual photos); and better angles.The best chapter is Traditional Gardens in Bali; but again the photos are often disappointingly small. And; from this chapter; conspicuously absent; were photos of Ubuds Agung Rai Museum gardens and any number of single-family (not sacred; public; or hotel) Balinese gardens.Somewhat useful is the chapter on Balinese plants; but because it lacks stats like height and shade / sun preferences; it is not great as a reference for the person interested in some serious landscaping or plant identification.Text does have interesting tidbits about garden history; thanks to contributor Adrian Vickers (and; for the Ubud text; William Warren).Visually; not as bold as "style" books can and should be. I put other books on my coffee table.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Absolutely stunning!By BettamanThis very large and beautifully printed book is a stand out in our library of tropical paradises. It offers a very nice overview of the entire country; the culture and some of the exotic gardens; both large and small; that grace what must be a real Garden of Eden. Many of the photos also identify some of the plants in the image but to do so entirely would dictate another page of descriptions because of the sheer number of varieties shown. There is also a great deal of very informative information about the people who created and/or designed not only the gardens but also some of the homes and resorts. I have actually only skimmed over the text of the book but the photos alone are well worth twice the price. If youre planning a tropical garden; greenhouse or just a room; this book will give you ideas and inspirations to nearly overpower your dreams. An absolute visual feast!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Goolpranee AlmEnjoy reading. A nice book.
