Her distinctively fluid, humorous, and…bright canvases combine the modes of Abstract Expressionism with a vibrant Pop sensibility. Heilmannn's 1979 painting in hot pink and black, evocatively titled Save the Last Dance for Me, marked a shift in the artist's perspective. Heilmann describes it: 'Now the work came from a different place. Instead of working out of modernist non-image formalism, I began to see that the choices in the work depended more on content for their meaning.' This beautifully illustrated study of Save the Last Dance for Me explores the development of Heilmann's work, and the way it continues to engage uspsychologically, sensually, and socially.The three bright pink rectangles in Heilmann's painting seem to dance off the edge of the canvas, through a black field that seems dark as a nightclub after midnightor perhaps the three are actually one pink rectangle, seen in a blissfully formal time lapse, moving across the dance floor/canvas. These definitively modernist geometric forms coexist with a sense of movement in real time. For many, abstraction may have been dancing its last dance in 1979, but Heilmann's bright pink rectangles boogie on.Libri GmbH, Europaallee 1, 36244 Bad Hersfeld Englisch.

1. Aufl./ 1.000 Ex. Winner of the ICP Infinity Award for Writing, 2008. - // Bill Jay`s impressive career in photography was launched in his native England, where he became the Institute of Contemporary Arts` first Director of Photography. In the early 1970s he moved to New Mexico to study with Beaumont Newhall and Van Deren Cok…e. He founded the program of Photographic Studies at Arizona State University, and taught history and criticism classes there for the next years. In short, with over 400 articles and 20-plus books to his credit, it would be an understatement to call Jay a doyen of the photographic world. Over the years, he has met and photographed many photographers, and written verbal snapshots to accompany each one. We are delighted now to present this selection of 100 of Jay`s wonderful portraits and anecdotal texts, taken in the past three decades, and all annotated with handwritten captions. Included in this august lineup are Aaron Siskind, Daido Moriyama, Helen Gee, Lewis Baltz, Michael Kenna, Rosamond Wolff Purcell, and Weegee the Famous.

In den WarenkorbPaperback, 565 pages, ENG, 230 x 205 mm, in very good condition, with over 180 images/ illustrations in b/w. ISBN 9780262524797. Mario Carpo provides a subtle and insightful discussion of the intellectual structures that guide architectural composition and the ways that these structures were transformed by the historic shifts fr…om script to print and from hand-made drawings to mechanically reproduced images. He goes on to suggest that the current shift from print to digital representations will have similarly profound consequences. This is a crucial text for anyone interested in the interrelationships of media and design processes. As urban planning moves from a centralized, top-down approach to a decentralized, bottom-up perspective, our conception of urban systems is changing. In Cities and Complexity, Michael Batty offers a comprehensive view of urban dynamics in the context of complexity theory, presenting models that demonstrate how complexity theory can embrace a myriad of processes and elements that combine into organic wholes. He argues that bottom-up processes--in which the outcomes are always uncertain--can combine with new forms of geometry associated with fractal patterns and chaotic dynamics to provide theories that are applicable to highly complex systems such as cities. Batty begins with models based on cellular automata (CA), simulating urban dynamics through the local actions of automata. He then introduces agent-based models (ABM), in which agents are mobile and move between locations. These models relate to many scales, from the scale of the street to patterns and structure at the scale of the urban region. Finally, Batty develops applications of all these models to specific urban situations, discussing concepts of criticality, threshold, surprise, novelty, and phase transition in the context of spatial developments. Every theory and model presented in the book is developed through examples that range from the simplified and hypothetical to the actual. Deploying extensive visual, mathematical, and textual material, Cities and Complexity will be read both by urban researchers and by complexity theorists with an interest in new kinds of computational models. 1240 g.

orig. cloth. Zustand: Minor wear. VG., dustwrapper. 23x16cm, 176 pp. Contents: Feeding the body/feeding the soul: the symbolic divide -- Preserving the freedom to change -- To feed one's life/to force one's life;or, how the attachment to life turns against life -- Vacations: finding heaven in ourselves -- Without "soul" -- Do we… have a "body"? -- Feeding your breath-energy -- Procedures of vital nourishment -- Exempt from happiness -- On hygiene; or, the desperate desire to endure -- Anti-stress:cool, Zen, and so on -- Condemned to the eternal silence of processes. [" The philosophical tradition in the West has always subjected life to conceptual divisions and questions about meaning, Although this process has given rise to a rich history of inquiry, it proceeds too fast, contends Francois Jullien. In its anxiety about meaning, Western thinkers since Plato have forgotten simply to experience life in vital Nourishment, Jullien slows down and begins to think about life from a point outside of Western inquiry, using the third- and fourth-century B.C.E. Chinese thinker Zhuanghi as a foil in this installment of his continuing project of plumbing the philosophical divide between Eastern and Western thought" -from dustwrapper].

VG. 25x15cm, xix,616 pp. "This is an essential reference for the new discipline of evolutionary cognitive neuroscience that defines the field's approach of applying evolutionary theory to guide brain-behavior investigations. Since Darwin we have known that evolution has shape…d all organisms and that biological organs - including the brain and the highly crafted animal nervous system -are subject to the pressures of natural and sexual selection. It is only relatively recently, however, that the cognitive neurosciences have begun to apply evolutionary theory and methods to the study of brain and behavior. This landmark reference documents and defines the emerging field of evolutionary cognitive neuroscience. Chapters by leading researchers demonstrate the power of the evolutionary perspective to yield new data, theory, and insights on the evolution and functional modularity of the brain. Evolutionary cognitive neuroscience covers all areas of cognitive neuroscience, from nonhuman brain-behavior relationships to human cognition and consciousness, and each section of "Evolutionary Cognitive Neuroscience" addresses a different adaptive problem. After an introductory section that outlines the basic tenets of both theory and methodology of an evolutionarily informed cognitive neuroscience, the book treats neuroanatomy from ontogenetic and phylogenetic perspectives and explores reproduction and kin recognition, spatial cognition and language, and self-awareness and social cognition.." - Publisher's description.

In den Warenkorborig.cloth Minor rubbing. An ink mark to top page-edge. VG., dustwrapper. 24x18cm, xi,437 pp., In a torn dustwrapper. "This book discusses how we experience space by listening: the concepts of aural architecture, with examples ranging from Gothic cathedrals to surround sound home theater. We experience spaces not only by seeing…but also by listening. We can navigate a room in the dark, and "hear" the emptiness of a house without furniture. Our experience of music in a concert hall depends on whether we sit in the front row or under the balcony. The unique acoustics of religious spaces acquire symbolic meaning.Social relationships are strongly influenced by the way that space changes sound. In "Spaces Speak, Are You Listening?", Barry Blesser and Linda-Ruth Salter examine auditory spatial awareness: experiencing space by attentive listening. Every environment has an aural architecture. The audible attributes of physical space have always contributed to the fabric of human culture, as demonstrated by prehistoric multimedia cave paintings,classical Greek open-air theaters, Gothic cathedrals, acoustic geography of French villages, modern music reproduction, and virtual spaces in home theaters. Auditory spatial awareness is a prism that reveals a culture's attitudes towards hearing and space. Some listeners can learn to "see" objects with their ears, but even without training, we can all hear spatial geometry such as an open door or low ceiling. Integrating contributions from a wide range of disciplines - including architecture, music, acoustics, evolution, anthropology, cognitive psychology, audio engineering, and many others.." - Publisher's description.
