The Grasshopper - Bernard Suits - Bog - Broadview Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Grasshopper - Bernard Suits - Bog - Broadview Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In the mid twentieth century the philosopher Ludwig Wittgenstein famously asserted that games are indefinable; there are no common threads that link them all. “Nonsense,” said the sensible Bernard Suits: “playing a game is a voluntary attempt to overcome unnecessary obstacles.” The short book Suits wrote demonstrating precisely that is as playful as it is insightful, as stimulating as it is delightful. Through the jocular voice of Aesop''s Grasshopper, a “shiftless but thoughtful practitioner of applied entomology,” Suits not only argues that games can be meaningfully defined; he also suggests that playing games is a central part of the ideal of human existence, and so games belong at the heart of any vision of Utopia. This new edition of The Grasshopper includes illustrations from Frank Newfeld created for the book’s original publication, as well as an introduction by Thomas Hurka and a new appendix on the meaning of ‘play.’

Grasshopper: Visual Scripting for Rhinoceros 3D - David Bachman - Bog - Industrial Press Inc.,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

Grasshopper: Visual Scripting for Rhinoceros 3D - David Bachman - Bog - Industrial Press Inc.,U.S. - Plusbog.dk

We live in a three-dimensional world. To design objects for everyday living, users must learn how to create in three dimensions. For precise modern designs that must conform to specific tolerances, we use computers to create a digital model first, and then pass that model on to a machine, such as a CNC router or 3D printer for fabrication. There are many software packages that are used to create digital models. One such package that is popular for industrial, product, and graphic design and architecture is Rhinoceros 3D , or “Rhino.” Grasshopper is a visual scripting platform for Rhino. With it, the user can build precise, customizable Rhino objects by simply dragging boxes around the screen and connecting them with virtual “wires.” No knowledge of programming is necessary! This work provides an introduction to modeling objects with Grasshopper. Through a series of examples and tutorials, readers will learn how to build complex objects by combining simple components. Applications include both NURBS surface modeling and mesh manipulation techniques. In Part I, Bachman offers a brief overview of scripting with Grasshopper, with simple examples used to introduce the reader to the most common Grasshopper components. In Part II, more complicated Grasshopper scripts are presented, showcasing the variety of objects readers can create. These examples were carefully chosen so that readers can see how the concepts from Part I can be put together to create increasingly complex designs. Finally, Part III features a reference guide from Grasshopper’s own help files containing descriptions of some of the most common Grasshopper components. David Bachman is a Professor of Mathematics at Pitzer College (Claremont, CA). His is the author of two previous works, Advanced Calculus Demystified, published by McGraw-Hill, and A Geometric Approach to Differential Forms, published by Birkhäuser, as well as more than 20 research articles. Through his company, David Bachman Design, Inc., he regularly consults with an international clientele of artists and product designers. In addition, Bachman’s own designs have been shown in a variety of galleries across the US. ● Part I: Learning Grasshopper—Chapter 1: Getting Started; Chapter 2: Lists; Chapter 3: Adding More Interactivity; Chapter 4: Curves and Surfaces; Chapter 5: Surface Transformations; Chapter 6: Advanced List Manipulation; Chapter 7: Meshes ● Part II: Case Studies—Chapter 8: Seashells; Chapter 9: A Striped Torus; Chapter 10: A Randomly Faceted Cylinder; Chapter 11: Creating Custom Bevels ● Part III: Component Reference: Params Tab; Maths Tab; Sets Tab; Vector Tab; Curve Tab; Surface Tab; Mesh Tab; Intersect Tab; Transform Tab; Display Tab.

Story Time for Kids with NLP by the English Sisters: The Little Grasshopper and the Big Ball of Dung - Jutka Zuggo - Bog - MX Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Story Time for Kids with NLP by the English Sisters: The Little Grasshopper and the Big Ball of Dung - Jutka Zuggo - Bog - MX Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Little Grasshopper and the Big Ball of Dung is the second book in a series of children''s books with NLP by The English Sisters, preceded by The Little Sparrow and the Chimney Pot. It is designed to appeal to young children and ideal for story time. The little grasshopper bumps into a wise dung beetle rolling a ball of dung up a big hill. The little grasshopper rather cheekily wants to do what the dung beetle is doing ''his way'' and has a go. He soon learns that it s not as easy as it looked. The little grasshopper then decides to listen to the wise dung beetle and models the dung beetle ''doing as he does''. At the end of the story he successfully models the dung beetles behaviour and achieves his desired outcome. Modelling excellence is at the heart of NLP. As humans we can model any behaviour by simply mastering the beliefs, the physiology and the thought processes that underline the skill or behaviour. For young children it is essential that these fundamental NLP skills are learnt so that they acquire the necessary skills for lifelong learning. The Little Grasshopper and the Ball of Dung is a story to be enjoyed over and over again.

Return of the Grasshopper - Bernard (university Of Waterloo Suits - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Return of the Grasshopper - Bernard (university Of Waterloo Suits - Bog - Taylor & Francis Ltd - Plusbog.dk

In this sequel to Bernard Suits’ timeless classic philosophical work The Grasshopper: Games, Life and Utopia , published in its full and unabridged form for the first time, Suits continues to explore some of our most fundamental philosophical questions, including the value of sport and games, and their relationship to the good life. In Return of the Grasshopper , Suits puts his theoretical cards on the table, exploring the in-depth implications of his definition of utopia, assessing the merits of a gamified philosophy, and explaining how games can provide an existential balm against the fear of death. Perhaps most importantly, for the first time in print, Suits reveals his underlying worldview: that humanity is forever fated to endure a cyclical existence of privation, brought on by material scarcity, and boredom, resulting from material plenitude. An essential companion to The Grasshopper , this edition includes an introductory chapter that puts Suits’ life and work into context, helping the reader to understand why Suits has had such a profound influence on contemporary philosophy and how his ideas still provide powerful insight into the human condition. This book is important reading for anybody with an interest in the philosophy of sport, leisure and play, political philosophy, ethics, existentialism or utopian studies.

The Iron Grasshopper - Salim Barakat - Bog - Seagull Books London Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Iron Grasshopper - Salim Barakat - Bog - Seagull Books London Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Through vivid vignettes and lyrical prose, The Iron Grasshopper transcends memoir, immersing readers in the poignant and turbulent realities of a Kurdish childhood in mid-twentieth-century Syria. Kurdish-Syrian poet and novelist Salim Barakat, one of the most distinctive writers in contemporary Arabic literature, has mesmerized the Arab literary scene since his first volume of poetry appeared in 1972. Now, his unique memoir—first published in 1980—is finally available in English translation. In The Iron Grasshopper, Barakat offers a poignant and evocative portrayal of his childhood. Set against the backdrop of the mid-twentieth century, Barakat’s memoir recounts his formative years in a small town near the Taurus Mountains. Through a series of vivid and often unsettling vignettes, he captures the turbulence and wonder of growing up in a landscape marked by political upheaval, cultural conflicts, and personal discovery. Barakat’s story intertwines childhood innocence with the harsh realities of violence and discrimination against Kurds, shaping his relationship with his homeland, the Arabic language, and his identity as a writer. The memoir’s rich prose and lyrical reflections invite readers into Barakat’s inner world, where the boundaries between past and present blur, and the simplicity of childhood is juxtaposed with profound existential musings.
