Ernst Scheidegger
Traces of a Friendship: Alberto Giacometti

2006 y.
Publisher:
Description: Alberto Giacometti (1901-66) is inarguably one of the greatest sculptors of the twentieth century. Immensely gifted and prolific, Giacometti gave physical expression to his twin obsessions of the human form and the alienation of modern life. Because of his canonical position in the history of art and the reams of scholarship produced about him, Giacometti remains to many the elusive master artist, distant and remote on the Olympus of creative endeavor. Ernst Scheidegger, a friend of the sculptor, knew a very different Giacometti. Scheidegger accompanied him to his studio, ate and drank with him, and relaxed with him in his family home. Traces of a Friendship is a document of this intimate life of Giacometti, consisting of photographs that Scheidegger made over the course of two decades. Scheidegger opens Giacomettis studio and house in Maloja, Switzerland, to readers, allowing them rare access to the most closely held aspects of the artists life. [detailed...]

Tracey Emin (Tate Modern Art)

2006 y.
Publisher:
Description: Generously illustrated, accessible, and affordable, the Modern Artists series is an essential reference for all those interested in contemporary visual culture. Art star Tracey Emin (b. 1963) first came to public attention in the 1990s with her povocative and confrontational works. After the inclusion of the controversial Everyone I Have Ever Slept With in the Royal Academy`s notorious Sensation exhibition and My Bed in the Turner Prize exhibition in 1999, she achieved a level of fae and notoriety unparalleled for an artist in recent times. Emin`s use of intensely personal, everyday materials gives her work an intimate quality, combining avant-garde ideas with feminine traditions of craft. This book presents Emin`s art in clear, accssible language, with full-color reproductions throughout. It provides a highly informed key to understanding one of the most hotly discussed artists at work today, responsible for some of the most iconic works of recent times. [detailed...]

Tracey Emin

2006 y.
Publisher:
Description: The most highly publicized of the infamous Young British Artists, Emin has stirred as much controversy as she has acclaim, being both highly personal and extremely original in her art. Emin`s work is engaging, titillating, disturbing, and startlingly confessional. One of her most famous pieces is Everyone I Ever Slept With 1963-1995, a tent appliquAd with names. Another notorious work, My Bedathe scene where she spent four days contemplating suicideawas exhibited at Tate Britain when the artist was short-listed for the Turner prize in 1999. Though denounced by conservative critics at the outset, Emin`s work has attracted serious critical attention for more than a decade. In the words of Art in America, `What brought Emin to prominence was shock value, but what keeps her work powerful as she continues is the strength and nuance of its form and content.` Compiled in close collaboration with the artist herselfaand unprecedented in its scopeathis is the definitive book on Emin, [detailed...]

Tracing Eisenman: Complete Works

2006 y.
Publisher:
Description: Perhaps more than any other architect practicing today, Peter Eisenman has made a career out of devising a dialectic of oppositions in architecture. With references to societal alienation and existing architectural forms, his work derives much from Friedrich Nietzsche, Noam Chomsky, and Jacques Derrida. He led the loosely knit group of architects known as `The New York Five` (which included John Hejduk, Michael Graves, Charles Gwathmey, and Richard Meier), who made an effort to introduce a theory and artistry of modernist architecture as rigorous as that of the European avant-garde. This is the first comprehensive single-volume overview ever published on Eisenman`s buildings and projects, from his first work, House I (1960), to his most recent projects, currently under construction in Spain and Germany. The book includes all the projects Eisenman has created, with essays from international architects and critics, including Greg Lynn, Sanford Kwinter, and Stan Allen.Eisenman [detailed...]

Clay Spinuzzi
Tracing Genres through Organizations : A Sociocultural Approach to Information Design (Acting with Technology)

y.
Publisher:
Description: In Tracing Genres through Organizations , Clay Spinuzzi examines the everyday improvisations by workers who deal with designed information and shows how understanding this impromptu creation can improve information design. He argues that the traditional user-centered approach to design does not take into consideration the unofficial genres that spring up as workers write notes, jot down ideas, and read aloud from an officially designed text. These often ephemeral innovations in information design are vital components in a genre ecology (the complex of artifacts mediating a given activity). When these innovations are recognized for what they are, they can be traced and their evolution as solutions to recurrent design problems can be studied. Spinuzzi proposes a sociocultural method for studying these improvised innovations that draws on genre theory (which provides the unit of analysis, the genre) and activity theory (which provides a theory of mediation and a way to study the [detailed...]

Tracks across Continents, Paths through History: The Economic Dynamics of Standardization in Railway Gauge

2009 y.
Publisher:
Description: A standard track gaugethe distance between the two railsenables connecting railway lines to exchange traffic. But despite the benefits of standardization, early North American railways used six different gauges extensively, and even today breaks of gauge at national borders and within such countries as India and Australia are expensive burdens on commerce. In Tracks across Continents, Paths through History, Douglas J. Puffert offers a global history of railway track gauge, examining early choices and the dynamic process of diversity and standardization that resulted. Drawing on the economic theory of path dependence, and grounded in economic, technical, and institutional realities, this innovative volume traces how early historical events, and even idiosyncratic personalities, have affected choices of gauge ever since, despite changing technology and understandings of what gauge is optimal. Puffert also uses this history to develop new insights in the theory of path [detailed...]

Tracks and Frames : The Economy of Symbolic Forms in Organizations (Advanced Series in Management)

y.
Publisher:
Description: This path-breaking book unifies central parts of organization and management theory that have thus far been fragmented and unconnected. It integrates prior research on organizational types and transitions, and also spawns a number of new incipient theories about organizational transformations. The book develops the framework of a `symbolic economy` in which organizations are viewed as fundamentally concerned with symbol-processing devices. A key notion is `planning cultures` - global mental representations of an organization, or collective frames of mind expressing different levels of strategic capacity. Organizational transitions are seen as movements on a buckled or warped field between seven different planning cultures, motivated by the need to economize on `social energy`. This field is shaped by various transforming factors, most notably uncertainty and pressure. The concept of uncertainty has been crucial in prior organization theory [detailed...]

Tractors: 1880s to 1980s (Shire Library)

2010 y.
Publisher:
Description: Of all motor vehicles the farm tractor has proved to be among the most beneficial. It has freed hundreds of thousands of laborers and horses from backbreaking toil on the land in all weathers and it has stabilized the cost of food.Starting with steam power in the middle of the nineteenth century, the agricultural tractor became motorized in the early years of the twentieth century. From vast prairie types, lighter, one-man machines arrived in time to avert famine in the First World War. Mass production followed, which brought the price of tractors within reach of the average farmer. Meanwhile tractors changed from being simple substitutes for draught animals to highly sophisticated machines, with power takeoffs and hydraulically mounted implements. Pneumatic tires and diesel engines revolutionized the 1930s market, after which draught control and then inexpensive four-wheel-drive made sure that fuel and time went into crop production rather than wheelspin. This marked the end of the [detailed...]
