Book Description

This analysis of the films of Wim Wenders from the early 1970's through the 1990's attempts to place his work in the cultural and political context of the time. Feminist analysis, cultural theory, and psychoanalysis combine to explore the major themes in the films with an emphasis on gender and narrative and on Wenders' concern with the representation of otherness. Wenders' earlier films reflect concerns with identity and with issues of masculinity and detachment. His later films reveal a preoccupation with seeing, images, and love, which culminated in the international success of The Buena Vista Social Club. As this study suggests, Wenders' later works manifest a shift in direction away from indifference and toward reconciliation, ethical practice, and relationships. This study will appeal to film scholars, to those with a special interest in German cinema and culture and to admirers of Wenders' films. Thematically arranged, chapters begin with the early films and trace the masculinity, identity, and lost narrative motifs throughout Wenders' oeuvre.

Simply the Best!.......2001-02-21

Up to date, philosophically profound and provocative, and championing Wenders work where recent critics have turned off and tuned out,this is simply the best work we have on Wenders. Do not be put off by the austere, academic hardcover appearance: this is a stylish, and engaged encounter with Wenders work which, though the writer claims he is no film expert per se, has an intimate understanding of the spatial dimension of the medium as well as the thematic and ideological turn in Wenders work. With the renewed interested in Wenders since Buena Vista, this very informative book deserves a wide public. Let's hope the publishers issue this in paperback.

Considers social, religious and economic issues alike.......2002-09-07

New York City's many Arab communities are perfect examples of the melting pot richness of the city, and A Community Of Many Worlds provides an informative account in partnership with the Museum of the City of New York, surveying New York's Arab populations and their characteristics. Seventeen essays consider social, religious and economic issues alike as they consider key issues of the Arab-American community in general and New Yorkers in particular.

management information systems for the information Age.......2007-03-09

Great service by the seller. Book arrived earlier than I expected.. Product was in the condition mentioned by the seller... Very happy with the purchase. I'll buy again in the future form this seller.

Good condition.......2005-09-24

It was in the condition the seller had said. It arrived on time.

No Communication.......2005-09-19

I was not pleased with the service. My book arrive within the time alloted, 7-14 days it arrived the 13th day without the cd's. By then class had started. Emailed the seller about the issue, I never got a reply. Good thing my instructor had extra's.
Overall poor communication made this an unpleasurable transaction.

Best web support.......2003-12-23

I wish all my books were from McGraw Hill - the support is awesome! A full glossary online and sample tests and key study points all ready to copy and paste into your own study notes!!! Really wonderful company.

Warning...........2002-08-07

Be forthwarned.... I ordered the 3rd ed. of this book and received the 2nd ed. instead. The seller was misleading under the comments section of the book he sold me..... a new listing shows that he's selling the 2nd ed. and not the 3rd ed. He changed this comment once he received an email from me stating otherwise. He wouldn't offer me a refund for the book and now I'm stuck with this one for a class which begins in a week.

Book Description

You may not win a spot on Who Wants to be a Millionaire? but knowing these true though obscure facts about 200 of the world's most famous figures certainly can stimulate dinner conversation. Picture the reaction when you mention that Walt Disney couldn't draw Mickey Mouse. Or, when you explain how Casanova, who seduced 10,000 women, suffered from smallpox marks all over his face; that a superstitious Hitler timed major battles for the seventh day of the month, Lincoln held séances in the White House, and Mark Twain invented and patented the first self-adhesive photo album. Illustrations are by great caricaturists such as Max Beerbohm, Ralph Steadman, and Saul Steinberg, and add just the right touch to this most unusual biographical dictionary.

Book Description

Demonstrating how the story of our past can help us better understand the present, geographer Denis Wood tells the story of our entire past, from the Big Bang to the World Wide Web. Five Billion Years of Global Change takes readers through the formation of the Earth's atmosphere, oceans, continents, and mountains; the origin of life; the evolution of the human species; the spread of agricultural production; and the growth of international trade. In a uniquely evocative and philosophical style, Wood shows how a greater knowledge of the interconnectedness of our world could potentially change the way we approach contemporary problems. This eye-opening book will be enjoyed by all readers interested in the history of our planet and concerned about its future.

Beguiling Nonsense.......2007-02-28

"Synergetics" is, like so much of Fuller's theoretical work, a cloud of smoke and mirrors that, when examined closely, has little or no substance. This is not my opinion alone; Donald Coxeter, the great 20th century geometer to whom Fuller dedicated the book, called it "nonsense". It's full of charming notions about the primacy of triangles and tetrahedrons, and Fuller's opinions that these are the fundamental building blocks of the Universe.

Of course, Fuller knew nothing of biology, or cosmology, or particle physics, and his meditations came from his imagination alone- not a very fertile source of useful ideas. The reader might well object to that last assertion, but in truth, while Fuller was very good at exploting and promoting the ideas of others, his original ideas, like his underengineered and unstable Dymaxion car, were great failures. His notions of cooperation in progress ran counter to understanding of evolution. The Dome? Invented in 1919 by Walter Bauersfeld for Zeiss, to house their first plantearium. Tensegrity structures? Invented- or perhaps, re-invented (and patented), by Kenneth Snelson, and appropriated by Fuller.

Fuller is perhaps best remembered as a tireless promoter and developer, one who could recognize a good idea, and develop and market it to others. He himself summed up his real accomplishments best, in a (perhaps) overly revealing quote: "Ideas are easy to come by; reduction to practice is an arduous but inspirationally rewarding matter."

The General Structure of the Universe.......2006-12-22

"Synergetics" was the summation of Fuller's philosophy; the foundation underlaying his other, practical works. As such, the book contains little in the way of immediately applicable information, such as how to design a car, a building, or a society. Fuller instead concentrates on the abstract quality of structure, based on the tetrahedron, the simplest possible three-dimensional form. He takes nothing for granted: properties of objects are not assumed to automatically exist unless they are explicitly stated. Fuller has great contempt for the cube, an inefficient structure that is unstable without redundant triangulation to support it. His reverence for the tetrahedron, however, obscures the fact that on the human scale, cubes are far more efficient in containing space, the ultimate function of any structure. Cubes are stackable without wasted space or material. This is the reason why houses, boxes and other containers are based on the cube, in many different cultures, while tetrahedron-based structures are limited to geodesic domes and camping tents.

In recent years, "tensegrity" structures have become more common, primarily as sculpture. These are composed of rods that do not touch each other, but are held in place by a continuous lattice of wires. Fuller explains that the rods themselves could be composed of "tensegrity masts," that is, smaller rod-and-cable structures that duplicate solid rods in shape and function. The rods in these masts could themselves be composed of yet smaller tensegrity masts, and so on until we arrive at the atom. The problem here is that going the other direction, to larger ("practical") scale, even the most efficient tensegrity structure must eventually rest, as we all do, on the redundant, wasteful, solid ground. This is why they are relegated to artwork rather than industry.

"Synergetics" contains much more; reminiscence on the author's childhood, a free-verse poem on numbers and linguistic affinities between Polynesians, Zulus, and Vikings, and many beautiful and clear diagrams. The book is written throughout in a highly unusual, but eminently readable language that once experienced, is immediately recognizable as Fuller's unique voice. "Synergetics" and its supplemental volume are vital to an understanding of the author, one of the great visionaries of the 20th Century, and possibly the last Renaissance Man.

like spinach to a child, so good for you, so hard to read.......2005-11-03

The most comprehensive system to understanding the physical world, from kindergarteners who are able to understand nuclear level inter-transformations, to adults who barely know what happens to a sphere when it's bounced on the ground; this book will enlighten you to some new inter/outer working combination you never thought of EVERY time you open it. I suggest a light pass, a medium pass, and a heavy pass in that order, just to shock you as to the amount of substance this book has, you will not walk away the same.

An A + that he wouldn't have given to himself.......2004-12-14

I am, by trade, a contemporary philosopher, with strong interests in the works of the Ancient Greeks, esp. Pythagoras, and of course, the great architect, Plato. Generally speaking, I would not persue the kind of book: huge, statements and claims made without supporting arguments, huge gaps in logical presentation, and leaps into areas such as numerology. Bucky reminds me of a cross between Pythagoras (incl. his mysticism) and DaVinci. I am in the early stages of the work, so all I will say at this time is grab a copy and start the journey.

A Work of Genius.......2002-02-11

...Synergetics is the clearest, most comprehensive attempt to explain the universe, and universal phenomena, that I have ever read. It is one man's attempt to link the language of science to the common layman.
Fuller defines synergy as follows "behavior of whole systems unpredicted by the behavior of their parts taken separately." (Synergetics, p. 3)
Fuller suggests that breaking down a subject and studying its parts separately, as is done in science today, can never lead to a comprehensive understanding of the whole. He writes "nature has only one department and one language." (Synergetics II, p 234). Fuller on PI: "To how many places does nature carry out PI when she makes each successive bubble in the white-cresting surf of each successive wave before nature finds out that PI can never be resolved?... And at what moment in the making of each separate bubble in Universe does nature decide to terminate her eternally frustrated calculating and instead turn out a fake sphere? I answered myself that I don't think nature is using PI or any of the irrational fraction constants of physics." (Synergetics II, p. 233).
Fuller explains the universe through geometry. Geometry is the study of structure, and the relationship between objects (and points of perception) within space. The topics covered range from numerology to architecture to the nature and structure of the universe itself. Fuller explains scientific concepts in terms that anyone can understand. His insights are often astonishing.
Fuiller understands the universe throught the geometric form called the tetrahedron. The tetrahedron, according to Fuller, is the basis for all structure in existence, and he has built a system of thought, and a geometry, consistent throughout, from the ground up, explaining everything from atomic structure to galaxies. Fuller uses the tetrahedron as the basis to construct his tenegrity structures, the geodesic dome, and the octet truss, among others, which are used in industrial and residential applications. Fuller was a genius, but not an esoteric one. All of his theories have practical applications.
This is not an easy book to read, as Fuller's language is dry and precise. But the book is filled with diagrams and charts that flesh out the text. This is a massive work, a work of a true genius.
Anyone who is interested in "how things work" should not fail to read this book . There is no math (other than arithmetic) necessary to understand everything in the book. Only an inquiring mind that is open to new ideas.
