The Paper Time Machine is a book that will change the way you think about the past It contains 124 historical black-&-white photographs reconstructed in colour & introduced by Wolfgang Wild
- creator & curator of the Retronaut website The site has become a global phenomenon collecting images that collapse the distance between the past & present & tear a hole in our map of time The Paper Time Machine goes even further Early photographic technology lacked a crucial ingredient
- colour As early as the invention of the medium skilled artisans applied colour to photographs by hand attempting to convey the vibrancy & immediacy of life in vivid detail In most cases this was crude & unconvincing Until now The time-bending images in The Paper Time Machine have been painstakingly restored & rendered in full & accurate colour by Jordan Lloyd of Dynamichrome a company that has taken the craft of colour reconstruction to a new level Each element of every photograph has been researched & colour-checked for historical authenticity Behold American child labourers from the early twentieth century alongside the construction of the Statue of Liberty Marvel at crisp photographs from the Crimean War in 1855 balanced with never-before-seen pictures from the Walt Disney archive As the layers of colour build up the effect is disorientingly real & the decades & centuries fall away It is as though we are standing at the original photographer&s elbow This is a landmark photographic book
- a collection of historical remixes& that exist alongside the original photographs but draw out qualities textures & details that have hitherto remained hidden Let The Paper Time Machine transport you It is as close to time travel as we are ever likely to get

In the spirit of Alvin Toffler's Future Shock a social critique of our obsession with choice & how it contributes to anxiety dissatisfaction & regret This paperback

Includes:: a new preface from the author Whether we're buying a pair of jeans ordering a cup of coffee selecting a long-distance carrier applying to college choosing a doctor or setting up a 401 (k) everyday decisions-both big & small-have become increasingly complex due to the overwhelming abundance of choice with which we are presented As Americans we assume that more choice means better options & greater satisfaction But beware of excessive choice choice overload can make you question the decisions you make before you even make them it can set you up for unrealistically high expectations & it can make you blame yourself for any & all failures In the long run this can lead to decision-making paralysis anxiety & perpetual stress & in a culture that tells us that there is no excuse for falling short of perfection when your options are limitless too much choice can lead to clinical depression In The Paradox of Choice Barry Schwartz explains at what point choice-the hallmark of individual freedom & self-determination that we so cherish-becomes detrimental to our psychological & emotional well-being In accessible engaging & anecdotal prose Schwartz shows how the dramatic explosion in choice-from the mundane to the profound challenges of balancing career family & individual needs-has paradoxically become a problem instead of a solution Schwartz also shows how our obsession with choice encourages us to seek that which makes us feel worse By synthesizing current research in the social sciences Schwartz makes the counter intuitive case that eliminating choices can greatly reduce the stress anxiety & busyness of our lives He offers eleven practical steps on how to limit choices to a manageable number have the discipline to focus on those that are important & ignore the rest & ultimately derive greater satisfaction from the choices you have to make
