		LAND, EDWIN HERBERT [Land, Edwin Herbert] 1909-91, American inventor and photographic pioneer.
		In 1947 he demonstrated a single-step photographic process that enabled pictures to be developed in 60 seconds; a color process was marketed in 1963, and a self-developing positive print followed in 1973.
		In the original Land process, a negative material was exposed inside the camera and then drawn out, while being squeezed against a layer of reagent and a positive material.

	Inventor of the Week: Archive
		Land used the principle of diffusion transfer to reproduce the image recorded by the camera's lens directly onto a photosensitive surface---which now functioned as both film and photo.
		Land continued to improve his invention: "Polacolor" film made instant color photos possible in 1963; in 1972, the "SX-70" replaced the wet, peel-apart development process with dry films that developed in light.
		Land spent his entire adult life experimenting and innovating in the field of optics, from producing recording systems used by the U.S. in World War II to proposing the "retinex" theory of human color perception.

		To set down after conveying; to cause to fall, alight, or reach; to bring to the end of a course; as, he landed the quoit near the stake; to be thrown from a horse and landed in the mud; to land one in difficulties or mistakes.
		The theory that land is property subject to private ownership and control is the foundation of modern society, and is eminently worthy of the superstructure.
		It follows that if the whole area of _terra firma_ is owned by A, B and C, there will be no place for D, E, F and G to be born, or, born as trespassers, to exist.

	Photography History - Invention of Instant Photography
		Edwin Land, when a Harvard freshman, conceived the idea that a polarizer might be made by lining up a myriad of tiny crystals (iodoquinine sulphate) in the same direction and embedding them in transparent plastic which, when set, prevented the crystals from drifting apart.
		Land invented instant photography and turned his company into a tremendous success and a Wall Street darling in the '60s and '70s.

	The life of many scientists shape the way that people view the world
		Land’s polarizing sheets used the relationships of polarization linearity to filter light (polarize light) for his many inventions.
		Edwin Land’s polarization sheets convert this un-polarized light into polarized light by the use of dichroism (the phenomenon of anisotropic optical absorption), which means that one component of polarization is more strongly absorbed than the other.
		Even though Land never finished his bachelor degree, he was awarded many honorary degrees, including one from Harvard.

		FEW men have merged the worlds of business and science with greater success than Edwin Herbert Land, a scholarly New Englander who completely changed photography with his Polaroid Land Camera, which now turns out a finished picture in ten seconds — an invention that skeptics once derided as a passing plaything.
		Trim and darkly handsome, "Din" Land, 51, has built his Polaroid Corp. into a company that employs 2,500, had 1960 sales of $99.4 million, and has given him and his family a paper fortune of more than $143 million.
		Land's aim is "the ideal company" in which "the working life is so deeply satisfying, so richly rewarding that leisure becomes relaxation rather than escape." Land himself spends much of his time in his laboratory in the company's Cambridge, Mass., headquarters.

		Land was a self-made man, an inventor, engineer, and scientist.
		During his student days at Harvard, he experimented with polarized light, and later found ways to use a light polarizing film in a variety of products, such as automobile headlights and sunglasses.
		Periodically over the next two decades he executed significant research in the field of human colour vision, and ultimately postulated the Reflex Theory of Colour Vision to explain the phenomena he had discovered.
