Focal Press has published the second edition of Teaching Photography by Glenn Rand, Jane Alden Stevens and Garin Horner. Rand authored the first edition and joined by Stevens, a professor emeritus at the University of Cincinnati, and Horner, a colleague of Rand and an assistant professor of Art at Adrian College, for the second.

In addition to authoring the first edition, Rand has written 11 books including The Portrait and Capture: Digital Photography Essentials. After working in public education, community colleges and universities since 1966, for the past three years he has been associated with Adrain College.

The new edition "stresses the how and why of the education. It includes the resources that will inspire new and seasoned teachers to help students expand their technical and aesthetic abilities and techniques, as well as their visual literacy and the way photography fits into the wider world," according to the publisher.

Topics include the online/hybrid classroom environment, collaborative learning, rubrics and using digital technology, plus techniques for inspiring conversations and critiques.

Not yet available, the title is expected to hit the shelves later this month for $49.95.
