Download or read book Blown Covers written by Françoise Mouly and published by Abrams. This book was released on 2018-01-16 with total page 142 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The art director of The New Yorker serves up“a delicious forbidden taste of the art that didn’t quite nail it, or nailed it a bit too hard” (The Marginalian). Françoise Mouly takes us behind the scenes at The New Yorker and reveals how the magazine creates its signature covers commenting on the most urgent political and cultural events of the day. She shows the shocking and hilarious sketches that didn’t make the cut and explains how these are essential stages in the evolution of a cover that stands the test of time but retains its edge. Her book captures contemporary history—from the farce of Monica Lewinsky to the adventures of Michelle and Barack to nuclear meltdown in Japan—in images that are as acute as they are outrageous. More than that, it shows how the magazine that exemplifies journalistic excellence in America also dares to cultivate a sense of humor when grappling with complex moral and political issues. “Interesting failures are the driving force behind Blown Covers . . . paging through this book is like standing in the corner of her office as she pins up rejected covers on the wall. Mouly has dozens of tales about images that failed for one reason or another. Now, presumably with the approval of her bosses at Condé Nast, she has created a tell-all (or tell-most) that even non–illustrators and designers will find enlightening.” —The New York Times Book Review “Yes, Blown Covers sometimes offends—and that’s the audacious joy of it.” —NPR.org “Offers some true delights.” —The Sacramento Bee “Reveals the shocking and hilarious sketches that didn’t make the cut.” —Patch

Download or read book Beyond Nonstructural Quantitative Analysis Blown ups Spinning Currents And Modern Science written by Yi Lin and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2002-01-29 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book summarizes the main scientific achievements of the blown-up theory of evolution science, which was first seen in published form in 1994. It explores — using the viewpoint and methodology of the blown-up theory — possible generalizations of Newtonian particle mechanics and computational schemes, developed on Newton's and Leibniz's calculus, as well as the scientific systems and the corresponding epistemological propositions, introduced and polished in the past three hundred years.The authors briefly explain the fundamental concepts, then analyze a series of topics and problems of the current, active research widely carried out in the natural sciences. Along the lines of the analyses, they introduce new points of view and the corresponding methods. Also, they point out that the blown-up theory originated from the idea of mutual slavings of materials' structures so that “numbers are transformed into forms”. This discovery reveals that nonlinearity is not a problem solvable in the first-push system, and that the materials' property of rotation is not only an epistemology but also a methodology. The authors then point to the fact that nonlinearity is a second stir of mutual slavings of materials.

Download or read book Vinnie Got Blown Away written by Jeremy Cameron and published by HopeRoad. This book was released on 2015-05-28 with total page 161 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Darkly comic, stylish and violent,Vinnie Got Blown Awayoffers a radical contrast from the British tradition of a murder mystery among the middle classes. It mixes without discrimination among black, white and Asian communities; it follows their speech patterns: cockney and Caribbean unite. It demonstrates the resilience in these communities, an ability to survive against all outside pressures and values.Nicky Burkett finds his childhood friend Vinnie dead at the bottom of a tower block. He and his mates have a code of conduct which makes revenge inevitable. They have to find the villains - much more serious criminals than themselves - and then they have to take them on. The result is a hilarious hybrid of Elmore Leonard and Quentin Tarantino, with dialogue that crackles off the page and a wonderfully authentic sense of place.Brilliantly reviewed on its initial release in 1995,Vinnie Got Blown Awayholds a unique place in the British crime fiction canon, and is ripe for rediscovery by a new generation of readers.‘Audacious and outrageous.’Daily Telegraph‘Jaunty, exhilarating and original, with a feeling for street life that renders it sexy and poignant.’Literary Review‘A fast, funny trawl through the territory of London's new outlaw underclass. It is a masterly piece of storytelling.’Financial Times‘A short, sharp shock of a novel.’GQ‘Funny, violent and vivid.’Sunday Times

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1916, a big twister cuts a swath of destruction through Boynton, Oklahoma. Alafair Tucker's family and neighbors are not spared the ruin and grief spread by the storm. But no one will mourn for dead Jubal Beldon, who'd made it his business to know everyone's ugly secrets. It never mattered if Jubal's insinuations were true or not since in a small town like Boynton, rumor could be as ruinous as fact. Then Mr. Lee, the undertaker, discovers that Jubal was already dead when the tornado swept his body away. Had he died in an accident or had he been murdered by someone whose secret he had threatened to expose? Dozens of people would have been happy to do the deed, some of them members of Jubal's own family. As Sheriff Scott Tucker and his deputy Trenton Calder look into Jubal's demise, it begins to look like the prime suspect may be someone very dear to the widow Beckie MacKenzie, mentor of Alafair's daughter Ruth. Ruth fears that the secrets exposed by the investigation are going to cause more damage to Beckie's life than the tornado. Alafair, coping with injuries to her own, still has time for suspicions about how Jubal Beldon came to die. What if the truth of it hits very close to home?
