E-book Play Among Books : A Symposium on Architecture and Information Spelt i…

undance and connectivity are one way of looking at digital phenomena. Umberto Eco in his book The Infinity of Lists poses a challenge from the other side, by asking questions of meaning and hierarchy.

E-book All Except You

The personages of Steinberg all look like someone I know (I’m sure of it) but I can’t recall their name. Who is it? Where have I seen that face, that odd stance? I struggle with my memory, as if in a dream where its precision (and not the blur, contrary to what one believes) makes me the enigma. Steinberg does not reveal a schema; each time it is a figure, subtle and penetrating, …

E-book Periodization in the Art Historiographies of Central and Eastern Europe

While the usefulness of periodization in general has been questioned before,1 the established periodizations of Central and Eastern European art histories have not been systematically compared or criticized.

E-book Deconstructing Martial Arts

First things first. What are martial arts? What do we mean when we say ‘martial arts’? These two questions can be regarded as either very similar to each other or very different.

On the one hand, there is a kind of strict or rigorou…

E-book Beginners Guide to Bridge

Firstly, the bidding: in 500, you might bid just to “stay in”. In Bridge you may re-enter the bidding and therefore you can pass with impunity. “Pass” is one of the most useful calls bridge players have. The second difference is in the play: after the opening lead, one player (the “Dummy”) faces their cards, as in Open Misére. If you’ve defended well against Open Misére you’ll…

E-book Foundations of Music Theory : Fundamental Concepts in The Language of …

In it’s broadest possible sense, music is defined as “organized sound.” This openended and safe definition is coherent regardless of era, style, culture, or the mechanics of musical organization.

E-book Fashion, History, Museums : Inventing the Display of Dress

It has become easy to become complacent about fashion exhibitions in museums.

E-book The Hegemony of Heritage

What do we see when we look at a monument, and how do we come to see what we do?

E-book Urban Design Governance : Soft powers and the European experience

Europe has a long history of urbanisation, with the first cities dating back some 8,000 years.

Inadvertent controls would certainly have di…

E-book 100 Hit Workouts : Visual easy-to-follow Routines for All Fitness Levels
