Download or read book The Way We See It written by James Pittman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2004-11 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Way We See It is an informal collection of unbiased and unedited writings, poetry and rhyme from promising young writers who grasp the inner thoughts of life as they see it happening. The authors reveal the bare essence of what would be described by true poets as free verse or even urban culture rap by some. Emerging from the high rise buildings on Schroeder Street and the Third Avenue apartments of Mount Vernon N.Y., from "H'mm, looking at us down in their ghettoes..." to the deep South of Bay St. Louis "Ehry Sunday we went to church," each writer is capturing what he or she believes to be a glimpse of realism in prose and verse to be heard like the ringing of gospel music through a southern Baptist church. Covering a variety of topics such as familial relationships, friendship and love, the poems and rhymes collected in The Way We See It would make this anthology a magnificent gift as reading material to ponder. While dwelling on the current events and historical documentation, the writers' points of view are explored from the inner city lifestyles and make statements that imprison the readers, then suddenly releasing them to see what we all see and the way we see it. "If you still don't know where this love comes from, it's a little place called Hip-Hop."

Book Way I See It

Download or read book Way I See It written by Melissa Anderson and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2011-03-15 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When other girls her age were experiencing their first crushes, Melissa Sue Anderson was receiving handwritten marriage proposals from fans as young, and younger, than she was. When other girls were dreaming of their first kiss, Melissa was struggling through hers in front of a camera. From age eleven in 1974 until she left the show in 1981, Melissa Anderson literally grew up before the viewers of Little House on the Prairie. Melissa, as Mary, is remembered by many as “the blind sister”—and she was the only actor in the series to be nominated for an Emmy. In The Way I See It, she takes readers onto the set and inside the world of the iconic series created by Michael Landon, who, Melissa discovered, was not perfect, as much as he tried to be. In this memoir she also shares her memories of working with guest stars like Todd Bridges, Mariette Hartley, Sean Penn, Patricia Neal, and Johnny Cash. In addition to stories of life on the set, Melissa offers revealing looks at her relationships off-set with her costars, including the other Melissa (Melissa Gilbert) and Alison Arngrim, who portrayed Nellie Oleson on the show. And she relates stories of her guest appearances on iconic programs such as The Love Boat and The Brady Bunch. Filled with personal, revealing anecdotes and memorabilia from the Little House years, this book is also a portrait of a child star who became a successful adult actress and a successful adult. These are stories from “the other Ingalls sister” that have never been told.

Download or read book The Way We See it written by Sandra Richards and published by Trentham Books Limited. This book was released on 2008 with total page 188 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Following in the steps of Bernard Coard's "How the West Indian Child is Made Educationally Subnormal in the British School System", this book also threatens to cause a social and political storm with its hard-hitting accounts of school exclusion and the realities of racism. Dr. Richards takes a radical African-centred look at school exclusions, teasing out uncomfortable historical links and throwing new light on sensitive and complex issues. Her research reveals how teachers who work to be inclusive can themselves be subjected to exclusion. They suffer in silence from what she calls professional envy when they try to operate against racialized punitive cultures. We learn how technology now shapes young people's daily interactions and the implications for their schooling. Through the voices of pupils and today's parents, we are led into the world of the people affected by excluding practices. The author shows how school exclusion harms children, their families, communities-and society. But she goes on to map out the ways teachers can transform their practice and support vulnerable children at risk of exclusion.

Book How the Body Shapes the Way We Think

Download or read book How the Body Shapes the Way We Think written by Rolf Pfeifer and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2006-10-27 with total page 419 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of embodied intelligence and its implications points toward a theory of intelligence in general; with case studies of intelligent systems in ubiquitous computing, business and management, human memory, and robotics. How could the body influence our thinking when it seems obvious that the brain controls the body? In How the Body Shapes the Way We Think, Rolf Pfeifer and Josh Bongard demonstrate that thought is not independent of the body but is tightly constrained, and at the same time enabled, by it. They argue that the kinds of thoughts we are capable of have their foundation in our embodiment—in our morphology and the material properties of our bodies. This crucial notion of embodiment underlies fundamental changes in the field of artificial intelligence over the past two decades, and Pfeifer and Bongard use the basic methodology of artificial intelligence—"understanding by building"—to describe their insights. If we understand how to design and build intelligent systems, they reason, we will better understand intelligence in general. In accessible, nontechnical language, and using many examples, they introduce the basic concepts by building on recent developments in robotics, biology, neuroscience, and psychology to outline a possible theory of intelligence. They illustrate applications of such a theory in ubiquitous computing, business and management, and the psychology of human memory. Embodied intelligence, as described by Pfeifer and Bongard, has important implications for our understanding of both natural and artificial intelligence.

Book Art for Coexistence

  • Author : Christine Ross
  • Publisher : MIT Press
  • Release : 2022-11-22
  • ISBN : 0262371626
  • Pages : 420 pages

Download or read book Art for Coexistence written by Christine Ross and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of how contemporary art reframes and humanizes migration, calling for coexistence—the recognition of the interdependence of beings. In Art for Coexistence, art historian Christine Ross examines contemporary art’s response to migration, showing that art invites us to abandon our preconceptions about the current “crisis”—to unlearn them—and to see migration more critically, more disobediently. We (viewers in Europe and North America) must come to see migration in terms of coexistence: the interdependence of beings. The artworks explored by Ross reveal, contest, rethink, delink, and relink more reciprocally the interdependencies shaping migration today—connecting citizens-on-the-move from some of the poorest countries and acknowledged citizens of some of the wealthiest countries and democracies worldwide. These installations, videos, virtual reality works, webcasts, sculptures, graffiti, paintings, photographs, and a rescue boat, by artists including Banksy, Ai Weiwei, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Laura Waddington, Tania Bruguera, and others, demonstrate art’s power to mediate experiences of migration. Ross argues that art invents a set of interconnected calls for more mutual forms of coexistence: to historicize, to become responsible, to empathize, and to story-tell. Art history, Ross tells us, must discard the legacy of imperialist museology—which dissocializes, dehistoricizes, and depoliticizes art. It must reinvent itself, engaging with political philosophy, postcolonial, decolonial, Black, and Indigenous studies, and critical refugee and migrant studies.
