Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book compares the situation of black Americans to the treatment of the black population in the British West Indies to show how the refusal to countenance racial discrimination can lead to fewer racial tensions. The author, who served in the British West Indies for twenty years, draws on his experiences there and in the United States, to argue that legally enforced racial discrimination will always lead to resentment, discord, and social division. By drawing parallels to the history of emancipation in the British West Indies, this book challenges assumptions about the inherent superiority of the white race that were often used to justify slavery and racial discrimination in the United States.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, which focuses on the history and development of linear perspective in art and its relationship with optical perception, argues that this form of rendering space did not originate in the Italian Renaissance, as is traditionally accepted, but in the earlier medieval period and was inspired by the Arab mathematician Alhazen's 'Optics'. The author demonstrates through the analysis of a wide range of historical images that the development of linear perspective was not a revolutionary concept in the 15th century, but was rather the outcome of centu ries-long evolution and exchange of ideas between different cultures, particularly those of the Islamic world and Europe.
