E-book The Tennis Blueprint

The grip you use to serve with will dictate your entire swing. Large numbers of club players tend to use a forehand grip to serve with, which causes many problems as they progress and want more power and spins on their serve.

It seems humans have always had something like the …

E-book Encyclopedia of Clothing and Fashion vol. 2

A perusal of academic books in fashion studies over the last decade reveals that the term “fad” itself may have fallen out of style. Even Arthur Berger’s text Ads, Fads, and Consumer Culture includes little mention of fads. Still, popular media feature lists of “what’s hot” versus “what’s not.” Why aren’t these called fads? Perhaps the timespace nexus associated with contemp…

Historically, schools of higher learning were referred to as stadium generale or universitas; titles conferred by the Pope of the day, with the latter being the higher honor.

E-book The Graphic Design : Idea Book

Albers advanced the idea that colour is continually deceptive, and that the exact same colour can evoke innumerable responses depending on how it is seen against other colours.

But the analogy between laboratory and theater is as problematic for philosophers of…

Exchange becomes its ultimate goal: the introduc-tion of the computer and information technology defines not only a society but a condition at large and a stage of progress in which knowledge turns into a commodity. According to Lyotard, such a con…

E-book The Digital, a Continent? : Nature and Poetics

Contingent observations like this can be traced to the beginnings of Greek speculative thought—dating back to the Milesian school—where some of “those [philosophers] who discoursed on nature” discovered them in a geometric relation.

Storytelling was clearly of major importance in the development of cinema and television, as well as new forms of printed and graphic media, during the early twentieth century. But even if these media were new (or, more accurately, new inf lections of existing screen and print forms), storytelling is as old and universal as any sense of consciousness, according to the neuroscientist, Antonio Da…
