Professor John Carey shows how early twentieth-century intellectuals imagined the masses as semi-human swarms; drugged by popular newspapers and cinema; and ripe for extermination. Exposing the revulsion from common humanity in George Bernard Shaw; Ezra Pound; D. H. Lawrence; E. M. Forster; Virginia Woolf; H. G. Wells; Aldous Huxley; W. B. Yeats and other canonized writers; he relates this to the cult of the Nietzschean Superman; which found its ultimate exponent in Hitler.Careys assault on the founders of modern culture caused consternation throughout the artistic and academic establishments when it was first published in 1992.

Keep in mind that not every pose is for every couple; but this is a great all around reference. Scan through it and pick and choose the ones that would best suit the couple for your event and it will get your own creative juices flowing for your own ideas as well!3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Dont waste your money. Use Pinterest instead.By Haley WallsIm not overly impressed with this book. You can find everything in this book on Pinterest so its not a book Ill be keeping. Save your money!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Best Posing Book for ProfessionalsBy rasterThis is by far the best book of poses that I have purchased. Im a professional photographer currently booking about 20 weddings a year; so Im still learning the finer details of posing. This book offers realistic; stylish poses that can be easily achieved with most clients; and it even gives you actual useful tips on how to make them happen. The names for the poses are pretty dorky; and there arent nearly as many as Id like (one pose per set of pages) but I feel like I got my moneys worth.
