Jennie C. Jones
"Jennie C. Jones recent exhibitions often feature an amalgam of painting, sound and sculpture.... She manipulates everyday objects related to sound--objects that belong to modes and systems of listening to sound or producing it as well as systems of organizing it--to generate implied sound. And while her sculptures evoke sound and the methodologies by which it is created, they are themselves silent"--Page 15.
Jennie C. Jones
Jones' multisensory art ingeniously weaves connections between Minimalism, music and the Black avant-garde This volume explores the interdisciplinary practice of Hudson-based artist Jennie C. Jones (born 1968), which moves viewers through both visual and auditory engagement. Aurally altering the spaces in which her paintings, sculptures and installations are on view, Jones' work encourages viewers to anticipate sound even in the quietest of environments. As she explains, "I always say [the artworks are] active even when there's no sound in the room; they are affecting the subtlest of sounds in the space--dampening and absorbing even the human voice." Conceptually, Jones' practice reflects on...
English Pronunciation in the Eighteenth and Nineteenth Centuries
This work provides a detailed account of word level pronunciation in England and Scotland between 1700 and 1900. All major and minor source materials are presented in depth and there is a close discussion of contemporary attitudes to pronunciation standards and orthographic reform. The materials are presented in three chronological periods: 1700-1750, 1750-1800 and the Nineteenth century, so that the reader is able not only to see the main characteristics of the pronunciation of both vowels and consonants in each period, but can also compare developments from one period to another, thus identifying ongoing changes to the phonology.
AMERICA Then and Now
America has vastly changed from its originality. Its roots are no longer foundationally secured, and its context has fallen into historical negationism. Original text and the fruit of actions are neglected, and history has been interpreted by popular opinion. This poem is a reflection of the seeds of the past that were planted and watered by our Founders and how, over time, infiltration of germination from some of the very weeds our Founders warned have sprouted "fundamental change" to originality, revising text, pluralizing truth, strangling freedom's roots, and distorting the reality of moral principles. What was America then? Who are we now? Which "truth" will you salute?
The Eye Test
In a world increasingly ruled by numbers and algorithms, award-winning journalist Chris Jones makes a compelling case for a more personal approach to analytical thinking. THE EYE TEST is a necessary course correction, a call for a more balanced, personal approach to problem-solving. Award-winning journalist Chris Jones makes the case for the human element—for what smart, practiced, devoted people can bring to situations that have proved resistant to analytics. Jones shares what he’s learned from an army of extraordinary talents, including some of the best doctors, executives, athletes, meteorologists, magicians, designers, astrophysicists, and detectives in the world. There are lesson...
Empire of Dust
This re-issue of the 1984 work includes a new preface. The saga of the failed town of Alderson, Alberta illustrates the greater story of drought and depopulation in the prairie dry belt of southwestern Alberta and eastern Saskatchewan from the turn of the century through the mid 1900s. According to Jones, a professor of history from Calgary, the doomed farmer exodus from the core of the continent, "part of a massive North American tragedy," was encouraged by boosterism, lightning expansion, and miscalculation. A substantial appendix lists population data and crop prices. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Poverty and Inequality
Neoliberalism and austerity have led to a growing inequality gap and increasing levels of poverty and social harm. In this short form book, part of the Critical and Radical Debates in Social Work series, Chris Jones and Tony Novak look at consequences of poverty and inequality and the challenge they pose to the engaged social work academic and practitioner. There are many studies of poverty that look at competing definitions (and some of the consequences) of poverty in modern society. Here the authors argue that, especially for a profession with a claimed commitment to values based on equality, social justice and meeting human need, poverty and immiserisation impose a requirement on social workers to speak out and not to collude with social policies that make the plight of the impoverished even harder and their lives even worse.
