The Quindecile
We like to think we are sensible beings who base our actions on conscious decisions. The fact is, all of us are subject to the occasional irrational impulse, the "wild hair" that surprises us and those around us. Usually, this is not a big problem -- in fact, it can act as a safety valve for our creative abilities and a check against unnecessary self-restriction. But it's not so healthy when we find ourselves driven by compulsions and obsessions that seem to take over our lives and consume our attention and energy. How can we discover the origins of these forces? Can we turn them into something constructive? Astrology provides a key to these questions in the quindecile. This newly researched...
Midpoints
Midpoints add nuance, detail, and depth to your astrological interpretations. Yet some astrologers shy away from this valuable analysis, perhaps daunted by the sheer volume of measurements involved. Don McBroom offers an easy approach to midpoints for professionals and individuals. You'll learn how to single out the most significant midpoint pictures and interpret them. McBroom explores many focal points-including the Sun/Moon midpoint, which defines core values. Midpoint significance is illuminated in examples based on the birth charts of Walt Disney, Meryl Streep, Thomas Edison, Steven Spielberg, Janis Joplin, and many other historical and contemporary icons. By integrating these dynamic planetary relationships into your natal chart analysis, you'll uncover exciting characteristics that will enrich your overall interpretation.
Vocations
Seeing the vocation''s profile within the horoscope has been one of the most difficult tasks astrologers encounter. Master astrologer Tyl presents a highly innovative approach to vocational astrology that is elegant in its simplicity and relevance to the modern job culture.
Elizabeth R.
These six plays of "Elizabeth R" are a royal progress in which six authors have shared, which both animate history and clarify it. They present the exciting world of England during the Gloriana's glorious reign. No English monarch, with the exception of her father, has inspired so many writers: fittingly, because she was a tireless patron of literature and of the developing stage. To use now the epithet 'Elizabethan' means a time of new discovery and hope, a world expanding, an age of the sword and the madrigal. No monarch had to more of a diplomatist than the imperious ruler who was called the Virgin Queen, who rigidly put her country before herself. In these teleplays, actress Glenda Jackson more than proved that she could bear the burden of a complex part. In six strongly dramatic texts we fin Elizabeth in and before the turmoil of history's most resplendent reign: from her daunting girlhood to those final years when winter had stolen at last upon the glory of the Tudor rose. To the end, she was Elizabeth, the Queen.
Handbook on Advances in Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems
This book presents the latest advances in remote-sensing and geographic information systems and applications. It is divided into four parts, focusing on Airborne Light Detection and Ranging (LiDAR) and Optical Measurements of Forests; Individual Tree Modelling; Landscape Scene Modelling; and Forest Eco-system Modelling. Given the scope of its coverage, the book offers a valuable resource for students, researchers, practitioners, and educators interested in remote sensing and geographic information systems and applications.
Fractal Frontiers: Fractals In The Natural And Applied Sciences
Historically, science has developed by reducing complex situations to simple ones, analyzing the components and synthesizing the original situation. While this 'reductionist' approach has been extremely successful, there are phenomena of such complexity that one cannot simplify them without eliminating the problem itself. Recently, attention has turned to such problems in a wide variety of fields. This is in part due to the development of fractal geometry. Fractal geometry provides the mathematical tools for handling complexity. The present volume is a collection of papers that deal with the application of fractals in both traditional scientific disciplines and in applied fields. This volume shows the advance of our understanding of complex phenomena across a spectrum of disciplines. While these diverse fields work on very different problems, fractals provide a unifying formalism for approaching these problems.
The Language of New Media
A stimulating, eclectic accountof new media that finds its origins in old media, particularly the cinema. In this book Lev Manovich offers the first systematic and rigorous theory of new media. He places new media within the histories of visual and media cultures of the last few centuries. He discusses new media's reliance on conventions of old media, such as the rectangular frame and mobile camera, and shows how new media works create the illusion of reality, address the viewer, and represent space. He also analyzes categories and forms unique to new media, such as interface and database. Manovich uses concepts from film theory, art history, literary theory, and computer science and also develops new theoretical constructs, such as cultural interface, spatial montage, and cinegratography. The theory and history of cinema play a particularly important role in the book. Among other topics, Manovich discusses parallels between the histories of cinema and of new media, digital cinema, screen and montage in cinema and in new media, and historical ties between avant-garde film and new media.
A Reader in Animation Studies
Cartoons—both from the classic Hollywood era and from more contemporary feature films and television series—offer a rich field for detailed investigation and analysis. Contributors draw on theories and methodology from film, television, and media studies, art history and criticism, and feminism and gender studies.
