Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FACES OF THE MIDDLE EAST is a collection of photographic images that aims to introduce the various ethnic and social groups who reside throughout the region--proof that this part of the world is not, as many in the West mistakenly believe, a monolithic culture. From the mountains of Petra and Iraq, to the quiet inner quarters of Jerusalem, TV Anchor, Hermoine Macura, unravels another side to one of the world's most controversial areas through her intimate portrayal of the people who call the region home. Neither a definitive story nor a political statement, Macura's work is a documentation of the rich diversity found in the Arab world. www.facesofthemiddleeast.com

This book was released on 2012-03-27 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: iDisorder: changes to your brain's ability to process information and your ability to relate to the world due to your daily use of media and technology resulting in signs and symptoms of psychological disorders - such as stress, sleeplessness, and a compulsive need to check in with all of your technology. Based on decades of research and expertise in the "psychology of technology," Dr. Larry Rosen offers clear, down-to-earth explanations for why many of us are suffering from an "iDisorder." Rosen offers solid, proven strategies to help us overcome the iDisorder we all feel in our lives while still making use of all that technology offers.

Download or read book Technology A World History written by Daniel R. Headrick Professor of Social Sciences and History Roosevelt University and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2009-02-25 with total page 197 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today technology has created a world of dazzling progress, growing disparities of wealth and poverty, and looming threats to the environment. Technology: A World History offers an illuminating backdrop to our present moment--a brilliant history of invention around the globe. Historian Daniel R. Headrick ranges from the Stone Age and the beginnings of agriculture to the Industrial Revolution and the electronic revolution of the recent past. In tracing the growing power of humans over nature through increasingly powerful innovations, he compares the evolution of technology in different parts of the world, providing a much broader account than is found in other histories of technology. We also discover how small changes sometimes have dramatic results--how, for instance, the stirrup revolutionized war and gave the Mongols a deadly advantage over the Chinese. And how the nailed horseshoe was a pivotal breakthrough for western farmers. Enlivened with many illustrations, Technology offers a fascinating look at the spread of inventions around the world, both as boons for humanity and as weapons of destruction.

Download or read book Transformative Media Pedagogies written by Paul Mihailidis and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2021-09-23 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the concept of individual and collective transformation as the underlying driver for media pedagogy, this book offers valuable insights and practical strategies for implementing transformative media pedagogies across learning environments and civic ecosystems. Each chapter takes the form of critical and reflective writing on specific processes and practices that emerged from contributors' experiences of participating in the Salzburg Academy on Media and Global Change, an experimental and immersive transformational media pedagogy project born in 2007, and continuing to this day. Together, contributors examine media pedagogies that prioritize value constructions like human connection, care, imagination, and agency, all of which collectively support a transformative approach to learning. While this book takes into account media pedagogies that focus on competencies and skills, its priority is to reveal and offer learning pathways that develop media makers and storytellers focused on positive social impact in the world. This book will be of interest to any media educators, researchers, practitioners, and entrepreneurs seeking to implement transformative media pedagogies that support equitable and just civic futures.

Download or read book Beyond Mothers Monsters Whores written by Caron E. Gentry and published by Zed Books Ltd.. This book was released on 2015-08-15 with total page 175 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beyond Mothers, Monsters, Whores takes the suggestion in Mothers, Monsters, Whores that it is important to see genderings in characterizations of violent women, and to use critique of those genderings to retheorize individual violence in global politics. It begins by demonstrating the interdependence of the personal and international levels of global politics in violent women's lives, but then shows that this interdependence is inaccurately depicted in gender-subordinating narratives of women's violence. Such narratives, the authors argue, are not only normatively problematic on the surface but also intersect with other identifiers, such as race, religion, and geopolitical location.

Book excerpt: "Twenty-seven contributors--artists, cultural professionals, scholars, a journalist, grantmakers--were asked this question: 'Are the arts essential?' In response, they offer deep and challenging answers applying the lenses of the arts, and those of the sciences, the humanities, public policy, and philanthropy. Playing so many parts, situated in so many places, these writers illustrate the ubiquity of the arts and culture in the United States. They draw from the performing arts and the visual arts, from poetry and literature, and from culture in our everyday lived experiences. The arts, they remind readers, are everywhere, and--in one way and another--touch everyone"--
