The Gardens of Ulf Nordfjell The Gardens of Ulf Nordfjell The internationally renowned garden designer Ulf Nordfjell has created many stunning and celebrated gardens and parks. He has won numerous awards (including RHS Chelsea Gold Medals) for his gardens, which combine the sweep and presence of masterful place-making with a keen plantsman’s eye for the detail that can be enjoyed through variety, combination, and interest in color, texture, and movement.The ten new projects presented in this book – from an island garden in coastal Sweden to a Stockholm town garden to a villa in the South of France – are more than just a selection of beautiful gardens, however. They also provide the opportunity to consider how parks and gardens are affected by a changing climate as well as the changing seasons. The book takes the form of an incomparable garden journey from northern Sweden to the Mediterranean, a journey that passes through many latitudes and climate zones. The informative text gives an insight into the ideas behind the design of estates, urban parks and domestic gardens. But Nordfjell also grapples with the great question of our time: the changes in the climate that will affect – that are already affecting – our parks and gardens in the short and long term.ISBN 10: 1858947197ISBN 13: 9781858947198

The History of Ancient Chinese Economic Thought -Routledge Studies in the History of Economics The History of Ancient Chinese Economic Thought  -Routledge Studies in the History of Economics This volume comprises twelve papers written by Chinese scholars on various aspects of the history of ancient Chinese economic thought. The contributions are preceded by an introduction which gives an overview of the development of the subject of history of economic thought in China, and which also provides an historical context to the individuals who constitute the major "schools" of ancient Chinese economic thought.The authors of the papers are leading scholars who have dominated this research area since the founding of New China in 1949, while the broad range of topics covered by the contributions includes questions of methodology, detailed and sometimes controversial interpretations of texts and "schools", and the international influence and modern relevance of ancient Chinese thought. A recurrent theme is that ancient Chinese thought has at least as much to offer to the historian as ancient Western thought. As the first such volume of papers to be translated into English, this collection provides a unique opportunity for non-Chinese readers to sample the way in which Chinese historians of economics have attempted to understand their own intellectual heritage.This book will be relevant to scholars interested in the history of economic thought, economic history and Chinese studies.ISBN 10: 1032099011ISBN 13: 9781032099019

The Human Figure in Motion The Human Figure in Motion "The Human Figure in Motion" by Eadweard Muybridge is a captivating exploration of the human body in motion, using innovative photography techniques to reveal the beauty and complexity of human movement.Muybridge was a trailblazing photographer who revolutionized the field of motion studies in the late 19th century, using his skills to capture the fluid movements of athletes, dancers, and other subjects in motion. His pioneering work laid the foundation for modern-day cinema and animation, and his influence can be felt in everything from sports science to special effects in movies.In this book, Muybridge presents a stunning collection of his photographs, showcasing the dynamic range and expressiveness of the human figure in motion. From running and jumping to dancing and martial arts, Muybridge's images capture the nuances and subtleties of each movement, highlighting the intricate interplay between muscle, bone, and form. Much like Leonardo da Vinci did in his exploration of the human body centuries prior, Muybridge carries on this important work which is utilized to this day by artists, physicians, and more.Yet "The Human Figure in Motion" is more than just a showcase of technical skill. Muybridge's photographs are also works of art, capturing the beauty and grace of the human body in motion with a keen eye for composition, lighting, and mood. Each photograph is accompanied by detailed notes on the subject's movements and anatomy, providing a wealth of information for artists, athletes, and anyone interested in the mechanics of human motion.Whether you're a fan of photography, art, or human anatomy, "The Human Figure in Motion" is a fascinating and inspiring exploration of the human body in all its dynamic glory.About the Author: Eadweard Muybridge was a pioneering photographer born in Kingston upon Thames, England. He is best known for his groundbreaking work in the field of motion studies, using photography to capture and analyze the movements of animals and humans in motion. While he was a notable photographer for years, in 1872, Muybridge was famously hired by Leland Stanford, a wealthy businessman and horse breeder, to settle a bet about whether horses had all four feet off the ground when they galloped. Muybridge developed a system of multiple cameras and tripwires that captured a sequence of photographs as a horse ran past. The resulting images proved that horses do, in fact, have all four feet off the ground at certain points during a gallop. This work marked the beginning of Muybridge's extensive research on motion studies, using photography to capture and analyze the movements of animals and humans in motion.Muybridge continued his motion studies over the next several years, using his innovative techniques to capture images of subjects such as athletes, dancers, and animals in motion. He also developed the zoopraxiscope, a device that projected sequences of images to create the illusion of motion, which is considered a precursor to modern-day cinema and animation.Muybridge's work had a profound impact on the fields of science, art, and entertainment, and his influence can be seen in everything from sports science to special effects in movies. He died on May 8, 1904, in Kingston upon Thames, England, leaving behind a legacy as one of the most innovative and influential photographers of his time.ISBN 10: ISBN 13: 9798391563273

The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation The Illusion of Life: Disney Animation The most complete book on the subject ever written, this is the fascinating inside story by two long-term Disney animators of the gradual perfecting of a relatively young and particularly American art from, which no other move studio has ever been able to equal.The authors, Frank Thomas and Ollie Johnston, worked with Walt Disney himself as well as other leading figures in a half-century of Disney films. They personally animated leading characters in most of the famous films and have decades of close association with the others who helped perfect this extremely difficult and time-consuming art form. Not to be mistaken for just a "how-to-do-it," this voluminously illustrated volume (like the classic Disney films themselves) is intended for everyone to enjoy.Besides relating the painstaking trial-and-error development of Disney's character animation technology, this book irresistibly charms us with almost an overabundance of the original historic drawings used in creating some of the best-loved characters in American culture: Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, Snow White and Bambi (among many, many others) as well as early sketches used in developing memorable sequences from classic features such as Fantasia and Pinocchio.With the full cooperation of Walt Disney Productions and free access to the studio's priceless archives, the authors took unparalleled advantage of their intimate long-term experience with animated films to choose the precise drawings to illustrate their points from among hundreds of thousands of pieces of artwork carefully stored away.The book answers everybody's question about how the amazingly lifelike effects of Disney character animation were achieved, including charming stories of the ways that many favorite animated figures got their unique personalities. From the perspective of two men who had an important role in shaping the art of animation, and within the context of the history of animation and the growth of the Disney studio, this is the definitive volume on the work and achievement of one of America's best-known and most widely loved cultural institutions. Nostalgia and film buffs, students of popular culture, and that very broad audience who warmly responds to the Disney "illusion of life" will find this book compelling reading (and looking!).Searching for that perfect gift for the animation fan in your life?

The Mangle of Practice: Time, Agency, and Science The Mangle of Practice: Time, Agency, and Science This ambitious book by one of the most original and provocative thinkers in science studies offers a sophisticated new understanding of the nature of scientific, mathematical, and engineering practice and the production of scientific knowledge.Andrew Pickering offers a new approach to the unpredictable nature of change in science, taking into account the extraordinary number of factors—social, technological, conceptual, and natural—that interact to affect the creation of scientific knowledge. In his view, machines, instruments, facts, theories, conceptual and mathematical structures, disciplined practices, and human beings are in constantly shifting relationships with one another—"mangled" together in unforeseeable ways that are shaped by the contingencies of culture, time, and place.Situating material as well as human agency in their larger cultural context, Pickering uses case studies to show how this picture of the open, changeable nature of science advances a richer understanding of scientific work both past and present. Pickering examines in detail the building of the bubble chamber in particle physics, the search for the quark, the construction of the quarternion system in mathematics, and the introduction of computer-controlled machine tools in industry. He uses these examples to address the most basic elements of scientific practice—the development of experimental apparatus, the production of facts, the development of theory, and the interrelation of machines and social organization.ISBN 10: 0226668037ISBN 13: 9780226668031

The Mending of Broken Bones: A Modern Guide to Classical Algebra The Mending of Broken Bones: A Modern Guide to Classical Algebra A joyful and intimate celebration of the beauty and creativity of algebra from one of the foremost math educators of our time.For many of us, algebra conjures up memories of dull classes spent wondering when we’d ever have to solve a system of equations or factor a polynomial. Indeed, most of the time, if we need to plan a budget or figure out how early to leave the house for work, common sense or a quick, seat-of-the-pants approximation is good enough.But as mathematician Paul Lockhart argues in The Mending of Broken Bones, once we stop thinking of algebra in terms of its practical applications, we can appreciate it for the beautiful and gratifying subject that it is. In his hands, algebra is the delicate craft of untangling numerical puzzles to reveal the hidden patterns and often surprising behaviors of the numbers themselves. As Lockhart traverses numerical systems, slips into and out of higher-dimensional space, and delights in the intimate connections between algebra and geometry, we come to see the discipline from his viewpoint: not as the mundane exercises of our school years, but instead as an art form whose beauty lies in its elegant simplicity.Written in Lockhart’s charming and conversational prose, The Mending of Broken Bones is an impassioned and deeply personal celebration of algebra that helps us experience the profound joys of mathematical discovery.ISBN 10: 067429632XISBN 13: 9780674296329

The Neomercantilists A Global Intellectual History The Neomercantilists A Global Intellectual History As critiques of free trade policies grow, The Neomercantilists sheds light on the protectionist turn, offering the first intellectual history of neomercantilism's evolution. Eric Helleiner traces the ideology's pioneers from the late eighteenth to early twentieth centuries, highlighting advocates of strategic protectionism and government economic activism to promote state power. While Friedrich List is well-known, Helleiner also highlights lesser-known thinkers, many from beyond the West. Helleiner's focus on neomercantilism's diverse origins challenges Western-centric accounts of its history. He uncovers neglected regional traditions and global exchanges of ideas that shaped distinct versions of the ideology in Latin America, Africa, Asia, and the Caribbean. These ideas endure, influencing the two dominant powers in today's world economy: China and the United States. The Neomercantilists is a groundbreaking study of influential economic ideas. It links the past to the present, urging more global approaches to studying political economy and the cross-border circulation of thought.ISBN 10: 1501786857ISBN 13: 9781501786853

The Palgrave International Handbook of Mixed Racial and Ethnic Classification The Palgrave International Handbook of Mixed Racial and Ethnic Classification This handbook provides a global study of the classification of mixed race and ethnicity at the state level, bringing together a diverse range of country case studies from around the world. The classification of race and ethnicity by the state is a common way to organize and make sense of populations in many countries, from the national census and birth and death records, to identity cards and household surveys. As populations have grown, diversified, and become increasingly transnational and mobile, single and mutually exclusive categories struggle to adequately capture the complexity of identities and heritages in multicultural societies. State motivations for classification vary widely, and have shifted over time, ranging from subjugation and exclusion to remediation and addressing inequalities. The chapters in this handbook illustrate how differing histories and contemporary realities have led states to count and classify mixedness in different ways, for different reasons. This collection will serve as a key reference point on the international classification of mixed race and ethnicity for students and scholars across sociology, ethnic and racial studies, and public policy, as well as policy makers and practitioners.
