Life with Dogs

2009 y.
Publisher: Life
Description: Dogs, dogs, dogs…Who can resist them? Most people seem to be born with an instinctive love of these animals and that`s not surprising. It`s anybody`s guess as to how long we`ve been living with dogs, but one theory says that wolves first moved in with humans over 100000 years ago. That`s plenty of time to develop a relationship! In the present day, just the sight of a puppy usually starts the oohs and aahs and, from children, the question: `Can I pet him?` Happily for both parties, dogs seem to get just as excited about us. Meeting a friendly dog is the very definition of a feel-good moment for all concerned. And you will meet many of them in this book - friendly dogs, funny dogs, feisty dogs and funky dogs, lapdogs, working dogs, acting dogs, heroic dogs, barking dogs, snoozing dogs, celebrity dogs, cuddly dogs, silly dogs and even dogs that don`t quite look like dogs.

Only Christopher can tell the full scale, riveting untold story behind Madonna`s carefully constructed mythology, and the real woman behind the glittering facade.From their shared Michigan childhood, which Madonna transcended, then whisked Christopher to Manhattan with her in the early eighties, where he slepton her roach-infested floor and danced with her in clubs all over town -- Christopher… [detailed...]

Christopher Ciccone
Life with My Sister Madonna

2009 y.
Publisher: Pocket
Description: After more than twenty years in the glare of the public spotlight, Madonna remains elusive. We know her through her many incarnations: the punk drummer, the fashion icon, Material Girl, the raunchy Boy Toy, the spiritual guru, the loving wife and mother, the English grand dame - but the real woman has always been inaccessible. Christopher Ciccone`s extraordinary memoir is based on his forty-seven years of growing up with, working with, and understanding the most famous woman of our time. He strips away all of her carefully constructed public personas, and reveals a lifetime of stories and memories to paint the first real portrait of his sister, Madonna. From their shared Michigan childhood to the heights of international stardom, throughout both her marriages and the birth of her children, the lives of brother and sister are inextricably entwined. This is the full and riveting story behind the Madonna mythology … the story that only her brother could tell. Формат:… [detailed...]

John Joseph Mangan
Life, Character and Influence of Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam Derived from a Study of His Works and Correspondence, Part 1

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description1927. Other volumes in this set include ISBN number(s): 0766171876. Volume 1 of 2. The facts as they have been left to us by Erasmus, and which Mr. Mangan has here gathered together in compact form, give us an Erasmus far different from this imagined one. In presenting this study of the life and activities of Erasmus to the public, the author realizes that it differs in many respects from the conventional biography of him to which we have become accustomed. This has been less a matter of intent than a direct consequence of the plan which Mangan followed throughout the work: of having him speak for himself always, rather than attempting to interpret his at times so kaleidoscopic mind.

Michelangelo
Life, Letters and Poetry

1999 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: One of the most influential figures in Western art, `Il divino Michelangelo` left an impressive written record of his thoughts and activities. Michelangelo Buonarroti, as well as being a sculptor, architect, and painter of genius, was a poet and letter-writer of remarkable accomplishment. This selection of his letters and poetry also includes the `Life, Letters and Poetry`, the biography written by Michelangelo`s pupil, Ascanio Condivi. Many of the letters are to famous contemporaries such as Vasari and Duke Cosimo, and they are characterized by unaffected directness. The poems explore, among other subjects, Michelangelo`s attitudes towards his art, including the painting of the Sistine Chapel. They are dynamic, intense, resonant, and unpredictable in an age when the lyric was, by and large, conventional and elegant in the Petrarchan style. The poet Peter Porter has worked with the distinguished translator George Bull to render the poems into vigorous contemporary English…. [detailed...]

Life, Liberty and the Defense of Dignity: The Challenge for Bioethics

Publisher: —
Description: At the onset of `Life, Liberty and the Defense of Dignity,` Leon Kass gives us a status report on where we stand today: `Human nature itself lies on the operating table, ready for alteration, for eugenic and psychic `enhancement,` for wholesale redesign.In leading laboratories, academic and industrial, new creators are confidently amassing their powers and quietly honing their skills, while on the street their evangelists are zealously prophesying a posthuman future. For anyone who cares about preserving our humanity, the time has come for paying attention.` Trained as a medical doctor and biochemist, Dr. Kass has become one of our most provocative thinkers on bioethical issues. Now, in this brave and searching book, he also establishes himself as a prophetic voice summoning us to think deeply about the new biomedical technologies threatening to take us back to the future envisioned by Aldous Huxley in `Brave New World.` As in Huxley`s dystopia, where life has been smoothed out… [detailed...]

Life, Liberty, And Happiness: An Optimist Manifesto

Description: There`s no shortage of gloom-and-doom viewpoints about humanity: our history of violence and war, environmental profligacy, economic and social injustice, etc. Frank S. Robinson has written this `optimist manifesto` as an antidote to such poisonous pessimism. Here you will find some radical and refreshing assertions: that most people are fundamentally good, that global society is getting better all the time, and that, in the big picture, humankind is not at the end of a brief, tragic existence but, rather, has just embarked on a long, bright future. What started as an extended letter to his daughter, one fatherA?s effort to leave an intellectual legacy, grew to comprehensively cover and tie together the big philosophical, political, social and economic issues. Writing in a highly readable style, Robinson steadfastly emphasizes reason as our best tool for discovering truth and making objective decisions. It is through this consistently rational approach to life that he argues for… [detailed...]

Don Cupitt argues that we speak of life very much as people used to speak of God: faith in life, what life has in store for us, wrestling with life, etc. In `Life, Life` he has assembled some 250 of these life-idioms. Cupitt mines this database to develop a modern religious philosophy of human life. In it, ethics and stories take the place of traditional supernatural dogma. This fully life-centered religious outlook turns out to be a lively radical theology. [detailed...]

Life, Myth, and Art in Ancient Rome

2005 y.

Description: Inspired by the achievements of the ancient Greeks, the Romans made their city the center of an empire unsurpassed in size and influence for more than a thousand years. Its rich legacy shaped the medieval world and continues to amaze us today. Life, Myth, and Art in Ancient Rome celebrates the many achievements of Roman culture and delves into its fascinating dark side. Romans erected structures so well-built and engineered that they still stand millennia later, yet these same buildings also showcased blood sports as public entertainment. The Romans instituted just government, impartial legal and political institutions, and concepts of citizenship, yet its population included slaves as well as patricians and plebeians, and was often riven by intrigue, superstition, and savagery. This volume is a richly illustrated introduction to a fascinating, at times paradoxical, civilization and its art and architecture, ranging from magnificent temples and aqueducts, to exquisite mosaics and… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionThese days, the term `reenactment` usually refers to live reconstructions of historic events, often of a military nature, performed by hobbyists. Civil War reenactments are the most popular in the United States, while European enthusiastsmost often engage in recreations from the Napoleonic era. Visual art has its own versions. Recent years have brought many reenactments of historic performances from the 1960s and 1970s, works which otherwise would exist only in photos, videos, and text descriptions. But what exactly is being reenacted, and what is the effect of the representation? What meaning is resurrected out of this `doubling`? In the exhibition Life, Once More , contemporary works and texts by Mike Bidlo, Bik Van der Pol, Rod Dickinson, Omer Fast, Andrea Fraser, Robert Longo, Eran Schaerf, Catherine Sullivan, and Barbara Visser reflect on these timely (and timeless) questions.

Publisher: —
Description: Life-like characters are one of the most exciting technologies for human-computer interface applications today. They convincingly take the roles of virtual presenters, synthetic actors and sales personas, teammates and tutors. A common characteristic underlying their life-likeness or believability as virtual conversational partners are computational models that provide them with affective functions such as synthetic emotions and personalities and implement human interactive behavior. The wide dissemination of life-like characters in multimedia systems, however, will greatly depend on the availability of control languages and tools that facilitate scripting of intelligent conversational behavior. This book presents the first comprehensive collection of the latest developments in scripting and representation languages for life-like characters, rounded off with an in-depth comparison and synopsis of the major approaches. Introducing toolkits for authoring animated characters… [detailed...]
