Download or read book This Is Not a Pipe written by Michel Foucault and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-11-10 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to write "This is not a pipe" across a bluntly literal painting of a pipe? René Magritte's famous canvas provides the starting point for a delightful homage by French philosopher and historian Michel Foucault. Much better known for his incisive and mordant explorations of power and social exclusion, Foucault here assumes a more playful stance. By exploring the nuances and ambiguities of Magritte's visual critique of language, he finds the painter less removed than previously thought from the pioneers of modern abstraction.
Download or read book History of a Pipe Dream written by Susan Miller and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Growing up on a farm in Wyoming taught Susan Miller perseverance. Her parents, hard-working and inspiring, taught her that life is full of obstacles-and one has to choose how she will overcome them. History of a Pipe Dream is the story of her struggle to overcome the prejudice that existed (and to a certain degree, continues to exist) regarding women in the field of industrial construction. She started out as a common laborer and worked her way up to journeyman, and along the way, she got to know people from all walks of life. Some amused her, some inspired her, but most just stood in her way. And then there was Jack, one of the most helpful men she ever met-who was also, at the same time, the most destructive force she'd ever know in her life. Through it all, she fought hard to stay focused on her goal: to be accepted as an equal. She chose to pursue a career that challenged her as fiercely as it challenged the perceptions and prejudices of others. The art of survival she learned so well as a child and young woman would soon be the key to her success. Hers is a journey into a world that few women have known, but all women can relate to.
Download or read book Pipe Dream written by Solomon Jones and published by Villard. This book was released on 2001-09-04 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The lawyer turned on the tape recorder, handed his client a cigarette, and lit it for him. Black drew hard, squinting as the smoke rushed into his lungs. "Where do you want to start?"the lawyer said, lighting a cigarette of his own. "I guess there’s only one place to start; at Broad and Erie." Johnny Podres, a politician whose record against corruption had been propelling him straight to the mayor’s office, is found murdered in a North Philly crack house. Enter Samuel Jackson, a.k.a. Black, a drug addict who knows better, a man embittered by the fact that he can’t seem to escape from his addiction to crack cocaine or, for that matter, from himself. Though he was once a family man with a wife and son, Black’s only concern these days is getting his next high, that is, until he stumbles across a friend and fellow addict, Leroy, and both become prime suspects in the Podres murder. Black and Leroy hook up with two female pipers: Clarisse, a registered nurse who is slowly losing to crack any semblance of a respectable life, and Pookie, who already has lost it. Soon the hunt is on for all four as they try to stay one step ahead of a police department under tremendous pressure to solve the case—because if a killer isn’t found soon, this could blow up into one of the biggest scandals in Philadelphia history. Solomon Jones weaves a suspenseful story against the backdrop of corruption in the Philadelphia police department and centers it on a group of drug addicts who, in the process of fleeing the law, come to terms with their own addiction, leading to some devastating consequences.

Book excerpt: Riley's sleepwalking is getting worse, threatening her simple life as a science-teaching nun in Brazil. When Thomas, an American, insists she is not who she believes herself to be, Riley becomes determined to uncover the truth of her identity. In the process, Riley finds herself pursued by an alluring woman, Arisu, who insists they were working together to take down a classified US government project. Riley now finds herself caught in the middle of a political conspiracy as the key person of interest. Who is telling the truth? Can she even trust her own memories? Riley must decide who to trust: the man who injected her with nanomachines designed to help her retrieve her memories or the woman who claims Riley wanted to blow the whistle on the corrupt project before she was reprogrammed. Is there more to her past with Arisu than she's being told? Can anyone be trusted? Can such a secretive project with deep government ties truly be brought to justice? Can Riley accept oblivion if her true identity is to reclaim her body? Complex and dark, this action-packed near-future cyberpunk thriller dives into human augmentation and its long-term effects upon our identity.

Download or read book The Social Engagement of Social Science a Tavistock Anthology Volume 3 written by Eric Trist and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2016-01-14 with total page 731 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War II brought together a group of psychiatrists and clinical and social psychologists in the British Army who developed a number of radical, action-oriented organizational innovations in social psychiatry. They became known as the "Tavistock Group," since the core members had been at the pre-war Tavistock Clinic. At the post-war Tavistock Institute of Human Relations, they developed a pioneering mode of relating theory and practice, called in these volumes "The Social Engagement of Social Science." Previous volumes presented two of three interdependent perspectives: the socio-psychological (Volume I, 1990) and the socio-technical (Volume II, 1993). The latest volume, on the socio-ecological perspective, completes the set. The socio-ecological perspective is concerned with the coevolution of systems and their environments. It considers the broader environment which shapes not only the task environments of socio-technical organizations but the institutional and cultural environment that confronts the individual. Volume III focuses on nonhierarchical forms of organization facilitating inter-organizational relations in complex and rapidly changing environments. This perspective provides a guide to institution building for the future.
