The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

The Experimental Book Object shows why and how books matter in the 21st century. Digital and audio platforms are commonplace and other fields of art beyond literature have increasingly embraced books and publication as their medium of choice. Nevertheless the manifold book object persists and continues to inspire various types of experimentation. This volume sets forth an unprecedented approach where literary and media theory are entangled with design practitioners’ artistic research and process descriptions. By probing the paradigm of the codex this collection of essays focuses on historical and contemporary experimentation that has challenged what books are and could be from the perspectives of materiality mediation and visual and typographic design. Investigations into less-studied areas and cases of performativity demonstrate what experimental books do by interacting with their systemic and cultural environments. The volume offers a multifaceted and multidisciplinary view of the book object the book design and publishing processes and their significance in the digital age. | The Experimental Book Object Materiality Media Design

God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

God and the Book of Nature develops theological views of the natural sciences in light of the recent theological turn in science-and-religion scholarship and the ‘science-engaged theology’ movement. Centered around the Book of Nature metaphor it brings together contributions by theologians natural scientists and philosophers based in Europe and North America. They provide an exploration of complementary (and even contesting) readings of the Book of Nature particularly in light of the vexing questions that arise around essentialism and unity in the field of science and religion. Taking an experimental and open-ended approach the volume does not attempt to unify the readings into a single ‘plot’ that defines the Book of Nature still less a single ‘theology of nature’ but instead it represents a variety of hermeneutical stances. Overall the book embraces a constructive theological attitude toward the modern sciences and makes significant contributions to the research literature in science and religion. | God and the Book of Nature Experiments in Theology of Science

The People of the Book Drama Fellowship and Religion

The People of the Book Drama Fellowship and Religion

Judaism has long derived its identity from its sacred books. The book or scroll - rather than the image or idol - has been emblematic of Jewish faith and tradition. The People of the Book presents a study of a group of Orthodox Jews all of whom live in the modern world engaged in the time-honored practice of lernen the repeated review and ritualized study of the sacred texts. In preserving one of the activities of Jewish life Samuel C. Heilman argues these are the genuine People of the Book. For two years Heilman participated in and observed five study circles in New York and Jerusalem engaged in the avocation of lernen the Talmud the great corpus of Jewish law lore and tradition. These groups made up of men who felt the ritualized study of sacred texts to be not only a religious obligation but also an appealing way to spend their evenings weekends and holidays assembled together under the guidance of a teacher to review the holy books of their people. Having become part of this world the author is able to provide first-hand observation of the workings of the study circle. Heilman's study moves beyond the merely descriptive into an analysis of the nature and meaning of activity he observed. To explain the character and appeal of the study groups he employs three concepts: drama fellowship and religion. Inherent to the life of the study circle are various sorts of drama: social dramas playing out social relationships cultural performances reenacting the Jewish world view and interactional dramas and word plays involving the intricacies of the recitation and translation process. This book will be of interest to anthropologists and those interested in the academic study of religion. | The People of the Book Drama Fellowship and Religion

The Latest Illustrated Book of Development Definitions

The Latest Illustrated Book of Development Definitions

Illustrated definitions are rarely found in zoning and development ordinances. Ordinances prefer the thousand words rather than the single picture. Illustrations greatly simplify how standards should be applied particularly where the lot or parcel is irregularly shaped or where there are a number of variables present each of which might have an impact on how the ordinance might apply in a specific situation. This best-selling resource has been the mainstay of the planner's bookshelf since its first publication and it differs from other books and publications containing development definitions in three major respects: It is illustrated; most of the definitions are designed to be used directly in ordinances with little or no change; and the more complex definitions are accompanied by commentaries and annotations that explain how the definition may be used in an ordinance along with background information pertinent to the definition. This expanded edition standardizes in one handy reference all the key terms used in zoning subdivision site plan and environmental ordinances. In all it contains 1 957 definitions and 103 illustrations that can be incorporated in local ordinances with little or no change. Written and illustrated by two professional planners with nearly eighty years of combined experience in the practice of planning and zoning this is a basic working tool and required reference for anyone involved in land development planning and regulation. | The Latest Illustrated Book of Development Definitions

Cognitive Narrative Thematics A Book About What Books Are About

Cognitive Narrative Thematics A Book About What Books Are About

Cognitive Narratives Thematics proposes a new way in which narrative works organise their thematic material. It rehabilitates the study of what books are about by providing a cognitive narrative thematic model (CNT). Part I presents CNT by combining different approaches to narrative such as evolutionary theory semiotics possible worlds theory or rhetorical criticism. Part II applies CNT to a variety of well-known narratives in different modalities such as Robert Browning’s My Last Duchess Julia Donaldson’s The Gruffalo Maurice Sendak’s Where the Wild Things Are Frank Miller’s 300 or Mike Mignola’s Hellboy. It also considers literary histories and digital humanities. Daniel Candel shows that CNT deserves greater attention and that thematics generates its own forms and adds to the aesthetic pleasure of the text. Candel illustrates that CNT improves the established interpretations of the narrative works it studies. This innovative study reveals how CNT offers readers a deeper understanding and how readers and critics are often using CNT intuitively without being aware of it. It is an invaluable resource for students and scholars of narrative theory. | Cognitive Narrative Thematics A Book About What Books Are About
