Ian Urbina
Life`s Little Annoyances: True Tales of People Who Just Can`t Take It Anymore

2007 y.
Publisher: Times Books
Description: “A gold mine of ideas . . . to help us wage personal and quiet vengeance against those who annoy us.” —South Florida Sun-Sentinel For some of us, it’s the automated voice that answers the phone when we’d rather talk to a real person. For others, it’s the fact that Starbucks insists on calling its smallest-sized coffee “tall.” Each of us finds some aspect of everyday life to be particularly maddening, and we often long to lash out at these stubborn irritants of modern life. In Life’s Little Annoyances, Ian Urbina chronicles the lengths to which some people will go when they have endured their pet peeves long enough and are not going to take it anymore. It is a compen-dium of human inventiveness, by turns juvenile and petty, but in other ways inspired and deeply satisfying. A celebration of the endless variety of passive-aggressive behavior, Life’s Little Annoyances revels in the tactics people use to vent their anger at telemarketers, loud cell-phone talkers, spammers, and others… [detailed...]

Arne Naess
Life`s Philosophy: Reason and Feeling in a Deeper World

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Norwegian philosopher Arne Naess`s meditation on the art of living is an exhortation to preserve the environment and biodiversity. Now in his nineties, Naess offers a bright and bold perspective on the power of feelings to move us away from ecological and cultural degradation toward sound, future-focused policy and action.Naess acknowledges the powerlessness of the intellect without the heart, and, like Thoreau before him, he rejects the Cartesian notion of mind-body separation. He advocates instead for the integration of reason and emotion--a combination Naess believes will inspire us to make changes for the better. Playful and serious, this is a guidebook for finding our way on a planet wrecked by the harmful effects of consumption, population growth, commodification, technology, and globalization.

Life`s Work: Confessions of an Unbalanced Mom

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The woman Mediaweek says `could very well be the next generation`s Anna Quindlen` steps out from behind her celebrated New York Times column in a book about the intersection -- or more accurately collision -- of life and work. A few years ago, award-winning reporter Lisa Belkin left the office to work from home, amid the chaos of two young children, writing deadlines, and everyday domestic details. She began writing a very personal column for and about people trying to `balance` their lives, but hundreds of columns later, she noticed that she had not heard from a single person who had everything under control. Then she realized: Nobody can do it because it simply can`t be done. Life`s Work is the story of modern motherhood, where true happiness is often reached when you finally give up and give in. Belkin`s is the funny, poignant, and always dead-on story of trying to do it all…and learning that doing just some of it is enough. [detailed...]

Description: By the author - From my vantage point, as an artist, (the ultimate observer) I see into my soul. I see a constantly changing world. I see it as complex images in tune with my inner being. I feel in a `pas de deux` (so to speak) My inner rhythms connect with visual and emotional stimuli and I respond - in my behavior and in my art pieces to the vibrations. The works - a reflection of my inner responses. Colors mirror my emotional reactions, they are my emotional reply. Textures (common to all my works) express even deeper thoughts, overlapping tendencies to refer to fleeting ideas and details. We all see them. I like to note them as layers in my thought process. My own way of working has become comfortable. Collage, painting, drawing, and printing, alone or combined, my way. To fulfill a need within I feel fortunate that I am able to share my thoughts silently. My attempt to Pass on some insight or emotion. Our noisy planet is burdened by many impositions.

Lifebox, the Seashell, and the Soul: What Gnarly Computation Taught Me About Ultimate Reality, the Meaning of Life, and How to Be Happy

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: “A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step,” goes the ancient saying. This concept is at the root of the computational worldview, which basically says that very complex systems—the world we live in—have their beginnings in simple mathematical equations. We’ve lately come to understand that such an algorithm is only the start of a never-ending story — the real action occurs in the unfolding consequences of the rules. The chip-in-a-box computers so popular in our time have acted as a kind of microscope, letting us see into the secret machinery of the world. In Lifebox, the Seashell, and the Soul, Rucker — known as the father of cyberpunk — uses whimsical drawings, fables, and humor to demonstrate that everything is a computation — that thoughts, computations, and physical processes are all the same. Rucker discusses the linguistic and computational advances that make this kind of `digital philosophy`… [detailed...]

Pedro Calderon de la Barca
Lifes A Dream

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: A beautiful and haunting tale of love, betrayal, knowledge, and power, Life`s a Dream (La vida es sueA±o, 1636) is the best known and most widely admired play of Catholic Europe`s greatest dramatist, Pedro CalderA?n de la Barca. CalderA?n`s long life (1600-1681) witnessed both the pinnacle and collapse of Spanish political power as well as the great flowering of Spanish classical literature. Despite its longtime place atop the Hispanic canon, CalderA?n`s masterpiece remains relatively unknown by general readers outside the Spanish-speaking world. Michael Kidd`s new prose translation aims to correct this deficiency by rendering the play into a transparent, modern American idiom that preserves the beauty and complexity of CalderA?n`s Baroque Spanish. The result is a highly readable and adaptable text that is enhanced by a generous selection of supporting materials, including a thorough critical introduction and glossary. [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionCraig McDean is accustomed to shooting pop idols en grande forme --a playful Madonna, for example, on the cover of Vanity Fair or in a worldwide campaign for Yves Saint Laurent. Lifescapes shows that he is also adept at challenging our perceptions of the big picture. McDean calls this collection Lifescapes rather than landscapes because the images represent his private views--vignettes from his own travels, his road trips across the world. For each image, he picked five or six different shots and merged them into one, doing so in a limited amount of time to maintain a feeling of spontaneity. Although McDean employed modern digital equipment to accomplish the blending, he did so in a manner that faithfully duplicated darkroom processes. The resulting scenes retain the integrity of the techniques practiced by the landscape artists and visual storytellers of yore, tempting the imagination. The viewer?s journey includes masterful collages of… [detailed...]

Lifestyle and Entertainment in Yangzhou (Nias Studies in Asian Topics)

2009 y.

Description: Much attention has been given to the `killing fields` of Cambodia, far less to how the country can recover and heal itself after such an experience. Crucial to this process has been the formation of a new moral order in Cambodia and hence the revival of religion in the country. Certainly, the regeneration of the ritual life of a community may offer ways for people to formulate and relate to their collective stories through symbolism that recalls a shared cultural origin.However, this process requires that the representatives of religion and of morality do have credibility and moral authority, something that may be called into question by their past and present involvement in hegemonic political and secular affairs. The importance of this volume, therefore, is not only that it contributes to the new interest in religion in Cambodia but also because it places the religious revival in a nuanced social, cultural and political context and shows how Cambodia pursues order in large part… [detailed...]
