The Type Project Book
The Type Project Book brings together a collection of typographically-focused design projects for all beginning to intermediate-level graphic designers. Renowned design instructor Nigel French approaches each project from both technical and aesthetic points of view, showing the starting state and milestones along the way to the finished deliverable. Wherever appropriate, French discusses historical precedent and professional examples of meeting the same challenge. French describes the assets required and the software used, without presenting screenshots that may quickly become outdated. This guide’s self-contained projects build on examples French first created in his popular courses for Lynda.com/LinkedIn Learning. Its extensively illustrated, attractive format will also appeal to users who just want to dip in and out for specific knowledge and skills. Ideal for independent self-study and exploration by working designers who want to expand their skills and build their portfolios, The Type Project Book has also been crafted to support graphic design students who need a strong foundation in typography.
American Sociolinguistics
This study is part of a test of a formalization of the theory proposed by Griffith and Mullins (1972) to explain the formation of scientific groups and to account for differences between what Kuhn termed "scientific revolutions" and changes within "normal science".
After the Deluge
A teenage arsonist threatens a partially submerged mid-22nd century San Francisco. As a Public Investigator "tryout" seeks evidence across the utopian city full of canals and veloways, the political and social conflicts of a society based on generalized abundance and commonly held wealth are explored. Here's a vision of post-economic life with the pleasures, pain and confusion characteristic of the human condition across historic periods set in a San Francisco strangely familiar and yet dreamily different. When there is no such thing as private property, what is crime, and how does a utopian society protect itself from bad behavior? Should scientists be as free as artists to create? What is ...
The Emergence of Organizations and Markets
A dynamic framework for studying social emergence The social sciences have sophisticated models of choice and equilibrium but little understanding of the emergence of novelty. Where do new alternatives, new organizational forms, and new types of people come from? Combining biochemical insights about the origin of life with innovative and historically oriented social network analyses, John Padgett and Walter Powell develop a theory about the emergence of organizational, market, and biographical novelty from the coevolution of multiple social networks. They demonstrate that novelty arises from spillovers across intertwined networks in different domains. In the short run actors make relations, ...

Dream or Nightmare
Dream or Nightmare is a book of left wing strategy like no other: It proposes that, to compete with the right, progressives cannot depend on reason and hard fact. They must also deploy drama in the battle of ideas. Donald Trump’s presidency has shown how this is done, albeit to ends that are deplorable. Abandoning logic and truth, the Fabulist in Chief conjures up spectacle to energize his base. Troops are dispatched to counter a fictional threat from convoys of helpless refugees. A powerful Supreme Court nominee is reduced to tears by accusations from a woman who has been sexually assaulted. Open fascists are described as “good people,” physical attacks on journalists are lauded in fr...
