Plato and Popcorn: A Philosopher`s Guide to 75 Thought-Provoking Movies

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionMany believe there is nothing like seeing a good movie, one that is enjoyable both in itself and for the thought processes it stimulates. From The Usual Suspects and When Harry Met Sally to Gandhi and The Color Purple , this handbook functions as a guide to watching and reflecting upon 75 great films. The author, a philosophy instructor, presents a text designed to lead readers through a series of intellectual gymnastics, to help strengthen critical thinking abilities and to inspire exciting and philosophical thoughts and discussions. `Civil Disobedience`, `Death`, `Fate and Determinism`, `War`, `Sexism and Women`s Issues`, `Gay Rights`, `The Greatest Happiness Principle`, `Anxiety and Inauthenticity` and `The Holocaust` are examples of the 18 different categories into which the films are divided.

Plausible Portraits of James Lord: With Commentary by the Model

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Incisive reflections on more than twenty portraits of the author by some of the greatest artists of the last century Over the course of his life as a friend and confidant of artists and collectors, and as a lover of arthimself, James Lord has written some of the best accounts we have of modern aesthetic genius, his biography of Giacometti was widely acclaimed for succeeding, in the words of one reviewer, “in every way as one of the most readable, fascinating and informative documents, not just on an artist, but on art and artists in general” (The Washington Times). And yet through his connection with the great artists of his day, it was inevitable that Lord would himself become the object of the artist’s gaze. In fact, from the time he was a young man, Lord sat for many of the major and minor painters and photographers of his day, including Balthus, Cocteau, Cartier-Bresson, Freud, Giacometti, and Picasso—in all but one case… [detailed...]

Twenty-one plays by Plautus have survived (one is incomplete). The basis of all is a free translation from comedies by such writers as Menander, Diphilus, and Philemon. So we have Greek manners of Athens about 300–250 BCE transferred to the Roman stage of about 225–185, with Greek places, people, and customs, for popular amusement in a Latin city whose own culture was not yet developed and whose manners were more severe. To make his plays live for his audience, Plautus included many Roman details, especially concerning slavery, military affairs, and law, with some invention of his own, notably in management of metres. The resulting mixture is lively, genial and humorous, with good dialogue and vivid style. There are plays of intrigue ( Two Bacchises, The Haunted House, Pseudolus ), of intrigue… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Book Description There is no doubt that playing the Open Games is one of Black`s most reliable and aggressive ways of meeting White`s favorite opening move, 1 e4. Experts also agree that playing these fundamental openings is a crucial step in the development of a chess player, while moving up to the highest level it provides the battleground for countless duals between the likes of World number one Garry Kasparov, Vishy Anand and Vladimir Kramnik. It`s true that some Black players are put off by the seemingly endless number of variations they can be faced with, as White can choose a between the King`s Gambit, Vienna Game, Scotch Opening, Bishop`s Opening and a number of wild and offbeat gambits. However, in Play 1 e4 e5! Nigel Davies provides a complete answer to this perennial problem by offering a concise and practical repertoire for the Black player, whilst crucially including a dependable defence to the Ruy Lopez--White`s most popular attacking try in the Open Games….

Play Between Worlds: Exploring Online Game Culture

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In Play Between Worlds , T. L. Taylor examines multiplayer gaming life as it is lived on the borders, in the gaps--as players slip in and out of complex social networks that cross online and offline space. Taylor questions the common assumption that playing computer games is an isolating and alienating activity indulged in by solitary teenage boys. Massively multiplayer online games (MMOGs), in which thousands of players participate in a virtual game world in real time, are in fact actively designed for sociability. Games like the popular Everquest , she argues, are fundamentally social spaces. Taylor`s detailed look at Everquest offers a snapshot of multiplayer culture. Drawing on her own experience as an Everquest player (as a female Gnome Necromancer)--including her attendance at an Everquest Fan Faire, with its blurring of online-and offline life--and extensive research, Taylor not only shows us something about games but raises… [detailed...]

Play Ethic

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: We all think we know what play is. Play is what we do as children, what we do outside of work, what we do for no other reason than for pleasure. But this is only half of the truth. The Play Ethic explores the real meaning of play and shows how a more playful society would revolutionize and liberate our daily lives. Using wide and varied sourcesfrom the Enlightenment to Eminem, Socrates to Chaos theory, Kierkegaard to Karaoke The Play Ethic shows how play is fundamental to both society and to the individual, and how the work ethic that has dominated the last three centuries is ill-equipped to deal with the modern world. With verve, wit and intelligence, Pat Kane takes us on a tour of the playful world arguing that without it business, the arts, politics, education, even our family and spiritual lives are fundamentally impoverished. The Play Ethic seeks to change the way you look at your daily life, how you interact with others, how you view the world. It is a guidebook to new,… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThere are things in life you cannot learn from books. Jazz, rock, and the blues are among them. To play these improvised styles of music, it`s important to look beyond the sheet music and theory manuals. The process involves learning by ear, directly from the music itself. Learning by ear acquaints you with melody, harmony, and rhythm in terms of how these elements sound rather than how they look on paper. This familiarity lies at the very heart of improvising. This book and its accompanying CD will serve as your guide as you develop your jazz, rock, and blues improvising talents. It introduces the experience to anyone with a year of basic piano under their fingers. Improvisations featured on the CD will offer inspiration, and illustrate improvising techniques introduced in the text. Ultimately, you will be prepared for learning directly from the recordings of your favorite artists. [detailed...]

Play Like a Man, Win Like a Woman: What Men Know about Success that Women Need to Learn

2001 y.

Description: Women make up almost half of today`s labor force, but in corporate America they don`t share half of the power. Only four of the Fortune 500 company CEOs are women, and it`s only been in the last few years that even half of the Fortune 500 companies have more than one female officer. A major reason for this? Most women were never taught how to play the game of business. Throughout her career in the super competitive, male-dominated media industry, Gail Evans, one of the country`s most powerful executives, has met innumerable women who tell her that they feel lost in the workplace, almost as if they were playing a game without knowing the directions. She tells them that`s exactly the case: Business is indeed a game, and like any game, there are rules to playing well. For the most part, Gail has discovered, women don`t know them. Men know these rules because they wrote them, but women often feel shut out of the process because they don`t… [detailed...]
