San Francisco Zoo
In 1922, philanthropist and president of the San Francisco Parks Commission, Herbert Fleishhacker, purchased a 60-acre site in southwestern San Francisco. Fleishhacker Pool was built in 1925 and an adjoining zoo added in 1929. Originally called Fleishhacker Zoo, it featured a variety of exotic wildlife. Major exhibits were built in the 1930s Depression era as part of the Work Progress Administration (WPA). This book celebrates the San Francisco Zoos 80-year history as it revisits cherished animals and structures like Monkey Island, Storyland, and Dentzel Carousel. The zoo holds a special place in the hearts of many, as it is a great San Francisco treasure along the foggy shores of Ocean Beach.
In Praise of Darwin
George John Romanes, close friend and colleague of Darwin, remains a misunderstood figure in the history of evolutionary science. Although his scientific contributions have been values, his religious journey has been either neglected or misjudged. The recent discovery of the original typescript of his 'Memorial Poem' to Darwin, lost for more than a century and reprinted here for the first time, allows us to enter the mind of a major Darwinian as we watch him struggle to put together faith and science on a positive basis. (Back cover).

O designer que ler este livro encontrará uma discussão bem diferente das habituais acerca dos fundamentos do design de jogos: a conversa aqui é lúcida, abrangente e ao mesmo tempo profunda. A metodologia empregada pelos respeitados autores Katie Salen e Eric Zimmerman permite sua leitura por foco de interesse, como disciplinas que constroem um todo que é o design de jogos. Essa abordagem única decorre do fato de os autores serem também eles designers de jogos. Este Volume 3 - Interação Lúdica tem como temas a definição de interação, os jogos como experiência lúdica e do prazer, os jogos como interação lúdica de significados, narrativa e da simulação, e ainda os jogos como experiência social.
