Here is an overview of the specialized formats that Bookshare offers its members with links that go to the Help Center for more information.

Bookshare Web Reader - A customized reading tool for Bookshare members offering all the features of DAISY with a single click of the "Read Now" link.

DAISY (Digital Accessible Information System) - A digital book file format. DAISY books from Bookshare are DAISY 3.0 text files that work with just about every type of access technology that reads text. Books that contain images will have the download option of ‘DAISY Text with Images’.

BRF (Braille Refreshable Format) - Digital Braille for use with refreshable Braille devices and Braille embossers.

MP3 (MPEG audio layer 3) - Provides audio only with no text. These books are created with a text-to-speech engine and spoken by Kendra, a high quality synthetic voice from Ivona. Any device that supports MP3 playback is compatible.

DAISY Audio - Similar to the DAISY option above; however, this option uses MP3 files created with our text-to-speech engine that utilizes Ivonas Kendra voice. This format will work with Daisy Audio compatible players such as Victor Reader Stream and Read2Go.

EPUB - A standard e-book format that can be read on many tools, such as iBooks, Readium or others.

Word - Accessible Word output, which can be unzipped and opened in any tool that allows .docx files

Photography is continually changing, and each version of Photography reflects that change. The tools and practice of photography are constantly changing. This book changes with the medium and with the times; as with each new edition, this book updates the traditional practice of photography as well as incorporating current technologies. In response to changing technologies, this book is available as both a print book and an eText. But its fundamental goal remains, it shows how to make photographs, how to control photographic processes, and how different photographers employ them for their own creative purposes. This book is designed to teach the skills that the user will need to use the medium confidently and effectively.

Photography: Capture To Presentation

by Jack Klasey

Designed for use as a first course in the basics of photography, focusing on the application of photographic principles to the field of digital imaging. The text provides a solid knowledge base for the student, covering the essential tools and techniques of photography. Emphasis is on color digital photography to permit concentration on basic skill development, but film cameras and developing techniques are also included. The textbook includes the use of image-editing software and the "digital darkroom", with practical examples of techniques for correcting, enhancing, and creatively manipulating images. After learning the fundamentals, the reader learns about photography situations such as action and event photography, outdoor photography, travel photography, and portrait and studio photography.

Photojournalism: The Professionals' Approach

by Kenneth Kobre

Photojournalism: The Professionals' Approach is the definitive book on photojournalism, delivering a blend of insightful interviews with professionals, practical techniques, and high-impact photographs. This edition features updates on social media in photojournalism, shooting video on smart phones, and the use of drones to cover the news. It also includes revised chapters on audio and video, and additional international case studies including, among others, approaches to covering the Arab Spring, the Ukrainian Revolution, and resurgent white supremacy in South Africa. New interviews and case studies bring readers on assignment with industry greats, whose experiences provide a guide on how to take your work from a hobby to a profession. The revised and expanded business chapter goes the next step and outlines how to make a living in photojournalism. Often called the "bible" of the industry, Photojournalism continues to be the must-have reference for photojournalists that it has been for nearly 40 years.

Photonic Crystals: Molding the Flow of Light

by Robert D. Meade John D. Joannopoulos Steven G. Johnson Joshua N. Winn

Since it was first published in 1995, Photonic Crystals has remained the definitive text for both undergraduates and researchers on photonic band-gap materials and their use in controlling the propagation of light. This newly expanded and revised edition covers the latest developments in the field, providing the most up-to-date, concise, and comprehensive book available on these novel materials and their applications. Starting from Maxwell's equations and Fourier analysis, the authors develop the theoretical tools of photonics using principles of linear algebra and symmetry, emphasizing analogies with traditional solid-state physics and quantum theory. They then investigate the unique phenomena that take place within photonic crystals at defect sites and surfaces, from one to three dimensions. This new edition includes entirely new chapters describing important hybrid structures that use band gaps or periodicity only in some directions: periodic waveguides, photonic-crystal slabs, and photonic-crystal fibers. The authors demonstrate how the capabilities of photonic crystals to localize light can be put to work in devices such as filters and splitters. A new appendix provides an overview of computational methods for electromagnetism. Existing chapters have been considerably updated and expanded to include many new three-dimensional photonic crystals, an extensive tutorial on device design using temporal coupled-mode theory, discussions of diffraction and refraction at crystal interfaces, and more. Richly illustrated and accessibly written, Photonic Crystals is an indispensable resource for students and researchers. * Extensively revised and expanded * Features improved graphics throughout * Includes new chapters on photonic-crystal fibers and combined index-and band-gap-guiding * Provides an introduction to coupled-mode theory as a powerful tool for device design * Covers many new topics, including omnidirectional reflection, anomalous refraction and diffraction, computational photonics, and much more.
