Book We Told You So

Download or read book We Told You So written by Tom Spurgeon and published by Fantagraphics Books. This book was released on 2016-12-14 with total page 698 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1976, a fledgling magazine held forth the the idea that comics could be art. In 2016, comics intended for an adult readership are reviewed favorably in the New York Times, enjoy panels devoted to them at Book Expo America, and sell in bookstores comparable to prose efforts of similar weight and intent. We Told You So: Comics as Art is an oral history about Fantagraphics Books’ key role in helping build and shape an art movement around a discredited, ignored and fading expression of Americana. It includes appearances by Chris Ware, Art Spiegelman, Harlan Ellison, Stan Lee, Daniel Clowes, Frank Miller, and more.

Book The Fountainheads

Download or read book The Fountainheads written by Donald Leslie Johnson and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2005-01-01 with total page 244 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Speculation abounds about the relationship between Frank Lloyd Wright and Ayn Rand. Was Wright the inspiration for Howard Roark, the architect hero of Rand's The Fountainhead? What can be made of their collaboration on the book's failed 1944 movie adaptation, and what can be gleaned from the 1949 Hollywood production of The Fountainhead? Where does the FBI--Wright was dubbed a communist sympathizer, and Rand was called before the House Un-American Activities Committee--fit into the story? Art, architecture, philosophy, film and politics come together in this exploration, which relies on the writings of Wright and Rand, FBI files, visual evidence and more to cement their connection. Chapters are devoted to Wright and Rand, the two together, their parts in both the failed production of The Fountainhead and the successful one, and the effect FBI harassment had on the movie and on their lives. Subsequent chapters discuss Wright's place as a Hollywood architect, and offer telling set designs and architectural images from the 1949 production of The Fountainhead. Several appendices supplement the illustrated text, and there is a filmography of movies mentioned in the book. A bibliography and index are also included.

  • ISBN : 1780933134

Download or read book Film Noir written by Ian Brookes and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2017-03-09 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Film noir may seem a familiar term to many, with its use of a complex narrative structure, flashbacks and voiceover narration, and with such archetypal characterisations as the femme fatale and private eye. But this introduction is not so much an account of what film noir is, but more an interrogation of the ways in which the term came to be applied to a particular group of American films of the 1940s and 1950s. Ian Brookes asks: 'What is film noir?' With this sharply focused question active throughout the book, students will benefit from an introductory text designed to provide a sophisticated treatment of the problems inherent in the category. This will be the first critical introduction to film noir which takes into account the complexity of the term and the difficulties of straightforward definition and classification.

Book Dislocations in Solids

Download or read book Dislocations in Solids written by and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2004-08-05 with total page 603 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the first volume to appear under the joint editorship of J.P. Hirth and F.R.N. Nabarro. While Volume 11 concentrated on the single topic of dislocations and work hardening, the present volume spreads over the whole range of the study of dislocations from the application by Kléman and his colleagues of homotopy theory to classifying the line and point defects of mesomorphic phases to Chaudhri's account of the experimental observations of dislocations formed around indentations.Chapter 64, by Cai, Bulatove, Chang, Li and Yip, discusses the influence of the structure of the core of a dislocation on its mobility. The power of modern computation allows this topic to be treated from the first principles of electron theory, and with empirical potentials for more complicated problems. Advances in electron microscopy allow these theoretical predictions to be tested.In Chapter 65, Xu analyzes the emission of dislocations from the tip of a crack and its influence on the brittle to ductile transition. Again, the treatment is predominantly theoretical, but it is consistently related to the very practical example of alpha iron.In a dazzling interplay of experiment and abstract mathematics, Kléman, Lavrentovich and Nastishin analyze the line and point structural defects of the many mesomorphic phases which have become known in recent years.Chapter 67, by Coupeau, Girard and Rabier, is essentially experimental. It shows how the various modern techniques of scanning probe microscopy can be used to study dislocations and their interaction with the free surface.Chapter 68, by Mitchell and Heuer, considers the complex dislocations that can form in ceramic crystals on the basis of observations by transmission electron microscopy and presents mechanistic models for the motion of the dislocations in various temperature regimes.While the underlying aim of the study of dislocations in energetic crystals by Armstrong and Elban in Chapter 69 is to understand the role of dislocations in the process of detonation, it has the wider interest of studying dislocations in molecular crystals which are ``elastically soft, plastically hard, and brittle''.Chaudhri in Chapter 70 discusses the role of dislocations in indentation processes, largely on the basis of the elastic analysis by E.H. Yoffe. The special case of nanoindentations is treated only briefly.

Book The Chronicles of T A R O T

Download or read book The Chronicles of T A R O T written by Keera Ashton and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2018-01-15 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Dan Currya psychologist, astrologist, and doctorand detectives Frank Incontro and Malcolm Cleary enter into Kimille Tamras 3-D virtual reality worlds, they begin investigating Dans clients and their astrology and numerology and their past lives charts for their malefic and debilitated planets and lifes purposes. This is because theres a murderer out there in Los Angeles and some of Dans clients are also authors having used Kimille Tamras ghost writing services, so their astrology charts and numerology charts are under investigation for their lifes purpose incarnation and past-lives incarnation, which may shed some light and may reveal the murderer at the same time. Frank admires Kimilles expensive glitter ball trophy taste with neutral shades of coffee and marshmallow soft creams, sophisticated grays, and silver with spills of gold into the shiny-copper grandeur palette bouncing off each other with light and bright, sparkling interior designs of spots-and-stripes decoration in her plush office thats so clean and fresh, like a glam New York store. Kimille, being the show boat grandstander, sees that Franks impressed. First you gotta dazzle em, she says. Frank smiles, liking her humor, and he starts to flick through Kimille Tamras portfolio catalogue of manuscripts and plots and synopses displayed on the glass table for her clients to browse through. The portfolio gives Kimilles clients an idea of the type of story they want to publish, and they have an option to view their choice on a book-to-screen 3-D virtual reality disc as the author. Kimille reveals to Frank that shes a devil. After Frank enters into the book-to-screen 3-D virtual reality, he investigates many astrology murder charts and experiences many different time travels, flying around the planets in space and through the portals leading into other worlds, making friends along the way with different species, falling in love, and weaving in and out of portals and different past lifetimes and force fields. He experiences different realities and body vessels, not all of which are human but of another species, and when it finishes, he does not want to lose the love he found as their characters, Colin and Lauren, in their 3-D virtual reality to end. And being so bedazzled and wowed by Kimille, an expert businesswoman, in her field, he plucks up the courage to ask Kimille out for a date.

Book Pragmatics of Discourse

Download or read book Pragmatics of Discourse written by Klaus P. Schneider and published by Walter de Gruyter GmbH & Co KG. This book was released on 2014-06-18 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Discourse is language as it occurs, in any form or context, beyond the speech act. It may be written or spoken, monological or dialogical, but there is always a communicative aim or purpose. The present volume provides systematic orientation in the vast field of studying discourse from a pragmatic perspective. It first gives an overview of a range of approaches developed for the analysis of discourse, including, among others, conversation analysis, systemic-functional analysis, genre analysis, critical discourse analysis, corpus-driven approaches and multimodal analysis. The focus is furthermore on functional units in discourse, such as discourse markers, moves, speech act sequences, discourse phases and silence. The final section of the volume examines discourse types and domains, providing a taxonomy of discourse types and focusing on a range of discourse domains, e.g. classroom discourse, medical discourse, legal discourse, electronic discourse. Each article surveys the current state of the art of the respective topic area while also presenting new research findings.

Book The Book of Psychiatric Books

Download or read book The Book of Psychiatric Books written by Sidney Crown and published by Jason Aronson. This book was released on 1994 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume consists of critical reviews of the most important works in psychiatry ever published and excerpts from those works. For psychotherapy, more than any other profession, books define the field. Most therapists have a personal list of books that for them have been memorable, perhaps even mutative, in influencing their thinking and clinical practice. But in addition to such individual favorites, choices are made at different times by the larger society and by one's professional group. As a result, a particular book comes to be regarded for some time as the book of the moment, after which it either sinks into oblivion or passes into the respectability of acceptance as an essential part of any reference list. If it does survive for long, though, it will inevitably come to be seen rather differently over time. Starting in 1982, the editors, Drs. Sidney Crown and Hugh Freeman, commissioned respected scholars to contribute commentary on seminal books in the field to a series in the British Journal of Psychiatry called "Books Reconsidered". In most cases, the contributors themselves had known the books over a long period, so that their own personal development as professionals was intimately connected with the works themselves and how they have stood up to time and circumstance. This collection includes all "Books Reconsidered" pieces that were published between the inception of the series in 1982 and the opening months of 1992. The editors have tried to cover as many fields as possible that are relevant to psychiatry as a whole and to its subspecialties. Every mental health professional will find these critiques both interesting and stimulating.
