Book The Goude Touch

Download or read book The Goude Touch written by Jean Paul Goude and published by Thames and Hudson. This book was released on 2009 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This book assembles a collection of advertising artwork he created over a ten-year period for Galeries Lafayette - Paris's most celebrated department store." "Around 200 works, including over 100 working documents, are on show here: drawings, sketches and final images that sparkle with creative vigour. Selected and arranged by Goude himself, they present a gallery of artworks that have not only defined a brand, but have redefined advertising and brand photography as we know them." "Sexy, irreverent and often very funny, this book sizzles with Goude's frequently risque sense of humour. He is the enfant terrible behind some of the wittiest billboards in Paris, in perfect control of his medium and with an intuitive sense of chic. Goude has created a modern classic of commercial art. In an inspired moment, Galeries Lafayette gave Goude a rare degree of creative freedom, and Goude responded with some of the best work he has ever made." "Patrick Mauries sets Goude's work in context - alongside the great artists associated with advertising, fashion and publicity, such as Rene Gruau for Dior - and as a vital asset in the history of France's greatest store." "This book is a celebration of Goude's creative zest and perfectionism, and his unique affinity for making fresh and engaging commercial artworks. It will inform and instruct all those concerned about the art of image-making, whether design professionals or simply those prepared to be delighted and entertained by chic, witty images that work." --Book Jacket.

Book excerpt: Through his treatment of many men and women as a chiropractor and therapist, Dr. Clyde W. Ford discovered that the body can be the key to unlocking and opening the door to healing from physical, sexual, or emotional abuse. Dr. Ford has used touch to help his patients recover from a wide range of conditions, including chronic muscle strain, addictions, dysfunctional relationships, and abuse. In this revised edition of Compassionate Touch, new material on False Memory Syndrome (FMS) has been added.

Download or read book The Heart written by Roy F. Berina and published by Hillcrest Publishing Group. This book was released on 2010-01-04 with total page 191 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the intolerable deterioration of our moral fabric, bringing us to the point that right is wrong and wrong is right, a dire necessity exists not only to curtail such regress but to set things on the proper course. The heart, which governs morality of human thought and action, is summoned to act as the guide out of this rut and onto the path of righteousness and fair treatment of each other. In the pursuit of truth and justice, the Moral Code, which is comprised of the Last Six Commandments, the "Friend" Rule, the Golden Rule, and the "Spare the Rod Spoil the Child" Rule, is therefore proposed as the "just" Rule of the Land. This then is utilized as the foundation to achieving morally correct conclusions or courses of action to social problems, issues or difficulties that we encounter, especially in these morally trying times. An important application of this concept is in our governance. The good heart has guided us to an amazing conclusion that the ideal form of government is that which is based on the Moral Code, the ideal Rule of the Land, and Participative Democracy, the ideal form of democracy which completely satisfies the requirements, of the people, by the people and for the people; rather than the form of government based on the Legal Code, a flawed and harmful code set, and Representative Democracy, a faulty, dangerous and costly imitation of Participative Democracy. We, the people, are therefore urged, by this revelation, to wake up from this detrimental governmental slumber and empower ourselves by declaring independence of the current system and by instituting the ideal form of government. This land belongs to us and to no one else, and its future rests solely on our participation in this overwhelming but absolutely necessary endeavor. Wake Up! Rise Up! Participate!

Book Symptom of Beauty

  • Author : Francette Pacteau
  • Publisher : Reaktion Books
  • Release : 2013-06-01
  • ISBN : 1780231660
  • Pages : 234 pages

Download or read book Symptom of Beauty written by Francette Pacteau and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-06-01 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For a woman in the Western world, there is no escaping beauty. Either she possesses it, or she lacks it. If she lacks it, she may hope to gain it. If she already has it, she will certainly lose it. But what is "it"? Not an objective thing, Francette Pacteau tells us, but a generic term for an unspecifiable number of psychological experiences in the mind of the observer. What these experiences are, what causes them, and how they manifest themselves as a notion of beauty is the subject of this book. Less interested in the contingent object of desire than the fantasy that frames it, Pacteau considers the staging of the aesthetic emotion. Her analysis extends from the Classical ideals of beauty, through Renaissance poetry to the recent formulations of Hollywood. Her book is an ambitious attempt to describe the mise-en-scène of beauty within a particular field of representations – that of the beauty of a woman.

Book Psychology of Touch and Blindness

Download or read book Psychology of Touch and Blindness written by Morton A. Heller and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2013-10-08 with total page 293 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book reviews the considerable body of research that has been done to evaluate the touch skills of blind people. With an emphasis on cognitive and neuroscientific approaches, it encompasses a wide-ranging discussion of the theoretical issues in the field of touch perception and blindness. The volume includes chapters on sensory aspects of touch, perception in blind individuals, multimodal relations and their implications for instruction and development, and new technology, including sensory aids and virtual touch. A distinctive feature of the book is the inclusion of the practical applications of research in this area. A significant characteristic of research on touch and imagery in congenitally blind individuals is that it speaks to the basic nature of spatial imagery and the importance and necessity -- or lack thereof -- of specific visual sensory experience for the acquisition of knowledge about space, spatial layout, and picture perception. As such, the book will not only appeal to researchers and professionals with an interest in touch and blindness, but also to a wider audience of cognitive psychologists and cognitive neuroscientists working in the field of perception.
