Amazon Exclusive: A Letter from Allan Hoffman, Author of Create Great iPhone Photos Dear Amazon Readers, I’ve owned lots of cameras, but I’ve never owned one as fun and versatile as my iPhone camera. Is the iPhone the world’s greatest camera? I think so, and I’m not alone in this. A growing number of professional photographers, including several with photos in my book, have come to view the iPhone camera as a brilliant tool for photographic creativity and experimentation. As one professional photographer told me recently (in an email from Afghanistan, where he is embedded with the Marines): “As cameras go, it might be the best piece of gear I’ve ever used.” What’s the source of the excitement? The breathtakingly diverse variety of apps, for everything from creating photo booth strips to adding a self-timer to your iPhone camera. There are thousands of photography apps available at the App Store, and it can be a challenge to know how to choose the best of them. That’s where my book comes in. Create Great iPhone Photos tells you about the best photography apps, explains how to use them, and provides a source of inspiration with brilliant color photographs. Here’s just a brief selection of images in the book and the apps used to create them. SwankoLab Lo-Mob Iris Photo Suite Hipstamatic Diptic

This is a book on how the U.S. and other governments have changed their thinking about energy issues over the past four decades, a change triggered by increasing concern about the role of fossil fuels in global warming and climate change, greater awareness of the risks of nuclear power, and the emergence of viable renewable energy sources. It will help understanding of how this change came about in the United States from the unique perspective of a well-placed participant and observer. It will enhance understanding of the global energy transition that is finally getting underway in the second decade of the 21st century at an accelerating, even dizzying, pace. The book’s main purpose is to illustrate how the U.S. government moved along its winding path to where it is today in getting ready for a renewable energy future. Target audiences are the young people who will inherit the transition and shape its future, those in government who currently shape our public policies, and those colleagues, friends, and family members who lived through many of the times and events discussed in the book.
