Hello, all, In case you hadn't seen it (because it had blended into its surroundings so effectively?!), I wanted to make sure you knew that Prof. Hanna Rose Shell's book has recently been published:
Hide and Seek: Camouflage, Photography, and the Media of Reconnaissance (Zone Books, 2012). You can learn more about the book here: http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?ttype=2&tid=12886 and you can read a brief and engaging interview with Hanna here, as well as view a wonderful slide show of some of the color plates featured in Hanna's book: http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/2012/3q-hanna-rose-shell-camouflage-0510.html Please join me in congratulating Hanna! best, Dave ps: And a quick reminder: the Morison Lecture will be held this Friday, 11 May, 4-6pm in room E14-633.
