When his work appeared professionally in the 1960's, Jeffrey Jones soon became one of the most respected creators of fantasy and science fiction art. Comfortable as both book cover illustrator and comics artist, Jones gained a large and loyal following. Especially popular for his paintings of beautiful women, he decided to concentrate on a series of works exploring the feminine mystique. Age of Innocence: The Romantic Art of Jeffrey Jones is the glorious result of this artist's fascination with the female form. Included are 44 masterful works celebrating women, 30 of which are published here for the first time. Displaying classical fantasy, romantic and sensual themes, Jones' visions are erotic, playful, thoughtful and frequently breathtaking.

Undoing the Digital: Sociomaterialism and Literacy Education (Literacies)

Merchant, Guy

Words, Language & Grammar

Undoing the Digital challenges common ways of understanding digital technology and its relationships to literacy and literacy education. The book explores how a sociomaterial perspective can provide an alternative analysis of literacy in the context of digital communication. Introducing a series of conceptual tools and examples, the book examines digital communication as an emergent interweaving of social, material and semiotic resources. The perspective invites literacy research to focus more on the relations associated with the process of making meaning: the new collaborations, stories, conceptualisations, directions, and intentions that take shape in, and also help to shape, the contemporary mediascape. Drawing on studies conducted in a variety of contexts, this book is key reading for all advanced students and researchers of literacy and digital media within Education, Applied Linguistics and Media/Communication Studies.
