Book Description
An unprecedented look at human nature in our technological landscape seen through the mirrors of art. Nine artists - John Dykstra, Harry Gamboa Jr., Tomlinson Holman, Hirokazu Kosaka, Patrick Robert O'Neill, Sara Roberts, Alexis Smith, Vibeke Sorensen and Woody Vasulka - worked with a multidisciplinary group of scholars at the USC/Annenberg Center for Communications, creating a conversation among vastly different disciplines. Conceived and organized by curator Rosanna Albertini, this first publication from the prestigious Annenberg Center deftly delves into the interaction between art and technology.Dimension: 101/4 x 81/2 inches, 82 color and 5 b&w reproductions.

Technological Rituals.......2000-07-11
Technological Rituals is a sequence of stories from the Annenberg Dialogues held at USC in 1996 and 1998. It's presented as a dialogue between Rosanna Albertini, the moderator/author, a group of outstanding artists, individually and collectively; and the reader. Conceived as a rumination rather than a series of polemics, Albertini works in a classical mode that reflects her background as a scholar in 18th century philosophy. At the root of her questions, poetic associations, and analysis, is the "same self" that has always been the focus of philosophical inquiry. That priority makes her work simultaneously old fashioned and cutting edge.
Nine West Coast based artists were invited to participate with interdisciplinary scholars from USC, and later by an invited anthropologist, neuronantomist, biological engineer, mathematician and others in more related fields. The goal was to join as a collective unit to explore the sensory and instinctual potentials of an intensive conversation in which presence and distance are integral to the exchange.
The artists' stories and pictures are followed by Albertini's reverie. The book changes the order of presentation to develop an intriguing continuum that begins with Harry Gamboa Jr., an LA based artist, who works with photography, performance, video, fiction, and fotononovelas. He thinks of the artist as a "social criminal" and works regularly with a small group of artists performing evocative and symbolic public theater events that originated as an attempt to move the mural off the wall into the street. Since much of this work was done in East LA, there is a strong religious and cultural content. The book includes powerful examples of his "living sculpture." The second artist, Sara Roberts, is a pioneer of interactive installation art. She discusses how she is trying to illuminate emotion through multimedia art tools that are activated by the presence/participation of a visitor. Like Gamboa, she collaborates with other artists to create her complex dramatic electronic sculptures. Their themes interrelate, hers are more personal- her work is conceived through active interpersonal relationships, marriage, memory. The rituals of everyday life.
For Pat O'Neill, an experimental filmmaker, the rituals are even more inward. He is a sculptor of the self, multidimensional, fluid, always changing. O'Neill is the most abstract of the nine artists, an enigmatic, cinematic poet, avant-outsider. He is followed by perhaps the most controversial choice, a penultimate insider- Hollywood filmmaker John Dykstra, who (Albertini reports) repeatedly denies being a "fine artist", preferring to call himself a "supervisor" because he recognizes the collaborative nature of his work. Perhaps he should be called an inventor. Like the others, he designs and builds his own tools, but they are specifically designed to accomplish the script based needs of commercial products, for example, special effects for a car commercial. Dykstra appears to be most involved in the conceptual, processoral phase of projects, in his words, "tinkering" in order to create animated or digital analogs that correspond to common realities, the apex of illusion. He moves decisively from the real world themes of previous artists into a virtual world that causes what he calls "suspension of disbelief." Speaking shortly after the release of "Batman Forever," Dykstra showed the 15 minutes of special effects he directed sparking Albertini's contemplation of Batman as a new myth "about a human being trying to be the machine he has created..."
The next in a triad of filmmakers is Tomlinson Holman, an inventor of sound systems for digital mastering programs, motion picture theaters, and the technical director of the design phase of the Lucas studio at Skywalker Ranch. He plays a role in the creation of sound at the stage where the engineer/artist is more concerned with expanding the structural elements of the medium than in making a statement about physical or pixilated reality. Here Albertini is pushing the question that still buzzes around academic and professional gatherings- is the artist the programmer or the one who uses the software? Albertini's impulse is to accept them all.
Woody Vasulka brings us back into the realm of pure spirit and the use of artmaking tools as sacred rituals. More than any of the others artists, his story is about the ritual process- where it belongs in our consciousness, philosophy, and way of living. He calls himself a machinist, "I am trying to look at all this as product of human thinking within the dimensions of art." Vasulka scavenges surplus systems and uses them to explore operatic themes in three dimensions.
I'm not sure why Alexis Smith is included. Her work is of a very different technology and space. Vibeke Sorenson, on the other hand is an excellent choice. Her background as an architect and consistent political activism, motivated her decision to build and use tools in very personal ways that would resonate with common lives. Like Woody Vasulka her story is about bridging the scientist and artist into a seamless unity. The ninth artist Hirokazu Kosaka is a Zen Buddhist and visual artist. His work is based on ancient ritual of target shooting, the arrow is released (in space or metaphorically in time), between the breath, during the gap between heartbeats.
I like the book very much. All of the artists and Albertini are a joy to read- erudite, sensitive, and insightful. Albertini is the first art historian who understands and conveys the ecstasy of electronic transformation. She has written extensively in scholarly and popular journals about technological imaging in ways that reflect the poetic and spiritual communication obvious in the work of a plethora of serious artmakers. She provides a critically needed new perspective and has a strong grasp of the technical components of video and computer based media. This important book is a major contribution as we move from postmodernism into a prerobotic age when questions of art, culture, spirituality, and the ways that we build and use machines are key to understanding the future of our species.

Book Description
The dynamism of small- and medium-sized enterprises cannot be questioned. SMEs create jobs, spread technological progress, and contribute to economic and social well-being, while stimulating entrepreneurship. Their essential contribution to the economy must sometimes be facilitated by government action. In order to support SMEs effectively, four main aspects of their activities should be considered. How are they financed? How can the economic environment be improved and regulations be reduced? And how can their access to markets be increased. This annual report, an invaluable tool for governments and enterprises, addresses these vital questions, giving clear answers based on initiatives carried out in OECD countries. The 1997 edition also presents an overview of SME policies in the financing and business environment areas in a selection of economies in transition, as well as introducing a new evaluation-oriented focus to identifying best practice.

Book Description
As the recession in Britain intensified in 1980/81, Margaret Thatcher, despite the dictates of contemporary economic doctrine, did not increase the fiscal deficit in order to "increase aggregate demand". Instead, she did just the opposite, hoping to restore confidence to the market and
credibility to government policy. In this analysis of her policy, the Prime Minister's personal economic advisor, the First Lord of the Treasury, argues that the course of Britain's recovery since mid-1981 is evidence of the success of Thatcher's policy. In non-technical language he explains how
this policy worked to bring about a steady decline in the fiscal deficit and monetary aggregate and how, within this stable financial framework, output grew steadily, productivity advanced rapidly, and inflation was reduced to 5%. Finally, the book reviews the effects Thatcher's policies have had
on international trade, on employment, and on industrial management and relations.

Consumer Services and Economic Development evaluates the contributions that consumer services can make to local economic development and revitalisation.
A broad range of consumer service industries are examined in turn: tourism, sports, universities, retailing and cultural industries. Detailed local case studies illustrate the role, impact and effectiveness of consumer services in economic regeneration in a number of different contexts: a global city, contrasting urban areas and rural localities. With many localities in the advanced economies suffering from severe deindustrialization and weak producer service growth, this book highlights the need for a fundamental rethink of both the function of services and of economic development theory and practice in general.

A very cogent work, sincerely motivated (so it seems) out of desire to assist those who are faced with reconciling their own behavior in light of the demands and constraints of having a sibling (or more..or other family) who are personally challenged with mental illness. Highly recommended if your in such a position or assisting someone who is.

Book Description
The writings of Carl von Clausewitz loom so large in the annals of military theory that they obscure the substantial contributions of those thinkers who came after him. This is especially true for those German theorists who wrote during the half century preceding World War I. However, as Antulio Echevarria argues, although none of those thinkers approached Clausewitz's stature, they were nonetheless theorists of considerable vision.
The Kaiser's theorists have long been portrayed as narrow-minded thinkers wedded to an outmoded way of war, little altered since Napoleon's time. According to this view, they ignored or simply failed to understand how industrialization and modernization had transformed the conduct of war. They seemed unaware of how numerous advances in technology and weaponry had so increased the power of the defensive that decisive victory had become virtually impossible.
But Echevarria disputes this traditional view and convincingly shows that these theorists--Boguslawski, Goltz, Schlieffen, Hoenig, and their American and European counterparts--were not the architects of outmoded theories. In fact, they duly appreciated the implications of the vast advances in modern weaponry (as well as in transportation and communications) and set about finding solutions that would restore offensive maneuver to the battlefield.
Among other things, they underscored the emerging need for synchronizing concentrated firepower with rapid troop movements, as well as the need for a decentralized command scheme in order to cope with the greater tempo, lethality, and scope of modern warfare. In effect, they redefined the essential relations among the combined arms of infantry, artillery, and cavalry.
Echevarria goes on to suggest that attempts to apply new military theories and doctrine were uneven due to deficiencies in training and an overall lack of interest in theory among younger officers. It is this failure of application, more than the theories themselves, that are responsible for the ruinous slaughter of World War I.
This book is part of the Modern War Studies series.
Customer Reviews:
Stunning, Captivating, Classical.......2006-08-16
This Book explains and compares the theories of Germany's military writers before the First World War. Dr. Echevarria dispels myths and provides fresh and clear insight of the historical understanding and the idea's and theories that were debated.
This book is a must read for any serious student of Military History and Military Studies. Dr. Echevarria's exploration of the "tactical crisis", "initial solutions" through the "struggle for resolution" to "tactical synthesis" culminating in the present is a brilliant tour de force. This book will also help provide some clarity in understanding the American amalgamation of doctrine and warfighting.
Dr. Terry Tucker, Adjunct Prof Military Studies/Military Science and Doctrine Developer for the Afghan National Army
Monumental work!.......2002-10-15
Being a text of the Modern War Studies by the University Press of Kansas already indicates this is a great book. Actually, I bought it for that reason and because the subject attracts my attention. After reading it, I can only say this book is fantastic. After Prussian defeat at Jena in 1806 on the hands of Napoleon, it took several years for the German peoples to again have a respectfull army. This books deals with this process. This book reveals why the Germans succeded on creating a new and powerfull army, while its neighbors (France and Russia, although Great Britain is also treated) decreased in power. The creation of a High Command and a General Staff are decisive factors on such evolution. Wargaming, modernization (this means, using all technological advantages on railroads, rifle making, artillery and machine guns, while demobilizing or transforming cavalry units) and professionalization (with always increasing quality levels of the reserve units) are the keys of German capability shown against Denmark (1864), Austria (1866) and France (1870). One thing I really liked of this book is the extraordinary quantity and quality of the research sources (actually, thanks to this book I've been able to get some other texts on the subject), many of which are not in English. An extraordinary work.
Book Description
"Defining their enterprise as more in the direction of poetics than of prosaics, the Comaroffs free themselves to analyze a vivid series of images and events as objects of analysis. These they mine for clues to the 19th-century contents of the British imagination and of Tswana minds. They are themselves imagining the imagination of others, and they do the job with characteristic aplomb....The first volume creates an appetite for the second."—Sally Falk Moore, American Anthropologist
Book Description
The quintessential A-Z guide, this is a book that anyone interested in birds will want to have close at hand. First published more than twenty years ago, this highly respected reference volume has been fully revised and updated. It captures the fundamental details as well as the immense fascination of North American bird life in a style that is authoritative, yet fresh, witty, and eminently readable.
Both a practical handbook for amateurs and a handy reference for seasoned birders, it provides accounts of the basic elements of birdlife, as well as a wealth of easy-to-access information on such subjects as bird physiology and anatomy, terms and jargon, name definitions and etymology, and ornithological groupings.
Readers will discover everything from the color of a dipper's eggs (glossy, white, and unmarked) to the number of species of woodpeckers in the world (216). They will also find more than one hundred of the best-known and most colorful colloquial names for birds, alphabetized and briefly defined. Collective nouns relating to birdlife--for example, "an exaltation of larks"--are included in the "Nouns of Assemblage" section. Biographical sketches of persons responsible for describing or naming a significant number of North American species are also included, as well as handsome and accurate illustrations by Gordon Morrison. And for those who want to go beyond reading about their favorite birds and take to the great outdoors, the book offers still more useful information: descriptive entries on a selection of the best-known birdwatching spots of North America.

Anything you want to know about birds.......2001-11-13
If you're interested in a subject, there are times that particular concepts or words come up that you simply don't understand. What is "fossorial"? What is "scansorial"? How do baby birds get out of their shells? What is migration all about?
While the internet is a great resource, it doesn't always have what you're looking for, and the information can be quite wrong depending on the source. That's where an encyclopedia like this comes in handy.
Yes, it's pretty hefty at over 900 pages. It's a solid tome for your bookshelf. But there are times that it comes in SO handy while reading your latest birding magazine, or when someone asks you a question you simply don't know the answer to.
If you can track this down, it's well worth having!
