Abstract This book, first published in 1979, is about how we see: the environment around us (its surfaces, their layout, and their colors and textures); where we are in the environment; whether or not we are moving and, if we are, where we are going; what things are good for; how to do things (to thread a needle or drive an automobile); or why things look as they do. The basic assumption is that vision depends on the eye which is connected to the brain. The author suggests that natural vision depends on the eyes in the head on a body supported by the ground, the brain being only the central organ of a complete visual system. When no constraints are put on the visual system, people look around, walk up to something interesting and move around it so as to see it from all sides, and go from one vista to another. That is natural vision -- and what this book is about.

Contents Sleep, Medicine and the Body -- Healthy Sleep and the Household -- Faithful Slumber -- Sleeping at Home -- Sleep and Sociability -- Sleep, Sensibility and Identity.
Abstract A riveting look at how the early modern world revolutionized sleep and its relation to body, mind, soul, and society Drawing on diverse archival sources and material artifacts, Handley reveals that the way we sleep is as dependent on culture as it is on biological and environmental factors. After 1660 the accepted notion that sleepers lay at the mercy of natural forces and supernatural agents was challenged by new medical thinking about sleep’s relationship to the nervous system. This breakthrough coincided with radical changes shaping everything from sleeping hours to bedchambers. Handley’s illuminating work documents a major evolution in our conscious understanding of the unconscious.

Democratic prospects and possibilities. Abstract
The People, Place, and Space Reader brings together the writings of scholars, designers, and activists from a variety of fields to make sense of the makings and meanings of the world we inhabit. They help us to understand the relationships between people and the environment at all scales, and to consider the active roles individuals, groups, and social structures play in creating the environments in which people live, work, and play. These readings highlight the ways in which space and place are produced through large- and small-scale social, political, and economic practices, and offer new ways to think about how people engage the environment in multiple and diverse ways. Providing an essential resource for students of urban studies, geography, sociology and many other areas, this book brings together important but, till now, widely dispersed writings across many inter-related disciplines. Introductions from the editors precede each section; introducing the texts, demonstrating their significance, and outlining the key issues surrounding the topic. A companion website, PeoplePlaceSpace.org, extends the work even further by providing an on-going series of additional reading lists that cover issues ranging from food security to foreclosure, psychiatric spaces to the environments of predator animals.

Contents 1 Optoisolation Circuits with Limit Cycles -- 2 Optoisolation Circuits Bifurcation Analysis (I) -- 3 Optoisolation Circuits Bifurcation Analysis (II) -- 4 Optoisolation Circuits Analysis Floquet Theory -- 5 Optoisolation NDR Circuits Behavior Investigation by Using Floquet Theory -- 6 Optoisolation Circuits with Periodic Limit Cycle Solutions Orbital Stability -- 7 Optoisolation Circuits Poincare Maps and Periodic Orbit -- 8 Optoisolation Circuits Averaging Analysis and Perturbation from Geometric Viewpoint -- 9 Optoisolation Advance Circuits—Investigation, Comparison, and Conclusions -- Appendix A: Stability and Bifurcation Behaviors -- Appendix B: Phototransistor Circuit with Double Coupling LEDs -- Appendix C: Optoisolation Elements Bridges Investigation and Stability Analysis -- Appendix D: BJT Transistor Ebers–Moll Model and MOSFET Model
Abstract This book on advanced optoisolation circuits for nonlinearity applications in engineering addresses two separate engineering and scientific areas, and presents advanced analysis methods for optoisolation circuits that cover a broad range of engineering applications. The book analyzes optoisolation circuits as linear and nonlinear dynamical systems and their limit cycles, bifurcation, and limit cycle stability by using Floquet theory. Further, it discusses a broad range of bifurcations related to optoisolation systems: cusp-catastrophe, Bautin bifurcation, Andronov-Hopf bifurcation, Bogdanov-Takens (BT) bifurcation, fold Hopf bifurcation, Hopf-Hopf bifurcation, Torus bifurcation (Neimark-Sacker bifurcation), and Saddle-loop or Homoclinic bifurcation. Floquet theory helps as to analyze advance optoisolation systems. Floquet theory is the study of the stability of linear periodic systems in continuous time. Another way to describe Floquet theory, it is the study of linear systems of differential equations with periodic coefficients. The optoisolation system displays a rich variety of dynamical behaviors including simple oscillations, quasi-periodicity, bi-stability between periodic states, complex periodic oscillations (including the mixed-mode type), and chaos. The route to chaos in this optoisolation system involves a torus attractor which becomes destabilized and breaks up into a fractal object, a strange attractor. The book is unique in its emphasis on practical and innovative engineering applications. These include optocouplers in a variety of topological structures, passive components, conservative elements, dissipative elements, active devices, etc. In each chapter, the concept is developed from the basic assumptions up to the final engineering outcomes. The scientific background is explained at basic and advanced levels and closely integrated with mathematical theory.
The book is primarily intended for newcomers to linear and nonlinear dynamics and advanced optoisolation circuits, as well as electrical and electronic engineers, students and researchers in physics who read the first book "Optoisolation Circuits Nonlinearity Applications in Engineering". It is ideally suited for engineers who have had no formal instruction in nonlinear dynamics, but who now desire to bridge the gap between innovative optoisolation circuits and advanced mathematical analysis methods.

681.3.06 MON Montfort, Nick Exploratory programming for the arts and humanities
Cambridge, Massachusetts : MIT Press, [2016]
Abstract This book introduces programming to readers with a background in the arts and humanities; there are no prerequisites, and no knowledge of computation is assumed. In it, Nick Montfort reveals programming to be not merely a technical exercise within given constraints but a tool for sketching, brainstorming, and inquiring about important topics. He emphasizes programming’s exploratory potential—its facility to create new kinds of artworks and to probe data for new ideas. The book is designed to be read alongside the computer, allowing readers to program while making their way through the chapters. It offers practical exercises in writing and modifying code, beginning on a small scale and increasing in substance. In some cases, a specification is given for a program, but the core activities are a series of “free projects,” intentionally underspecified exercises that leave room for readers to determine their own direction and write different sorts of programs. Throughout the book, Montfort also considers how computation and programming are culturally situated—how programming relates to the methods and questions of the arts and humanities. The book uses Python and Processing, both of which are free software, as the primary programming languages.

Abstract Since the 1990s, critics and curators have broadly accepted the notion that participatory art is the ultimate political art: that by encouraging an audience to take part an artist can promote new emancipatory social relations. Around the world, the champions of this form of expression are numerous, ranging from art historians such as Grant Kester, curators such as Nicolas Bourriaud and Nato Thompson, to performance theorists such as Shannon Jackson. Artificial Hells is the first historical and theoretical overview of socially engaged participatory art, known in the US as “social practice.” Claire Bishop follows the trajectory of twentieth-century art and examines key moments in the development of a participatory aesthetic. This itinerary takes in Futurism and Dada; the Situationist International; Happenings in Eastern Europe, Argentina and Paris; the 1970s Community Arts Movement; and the Artists Placement Group. It concludes with a discussion of long-term educational projects by contemporary artists such as Thomas Hirschhorn, Tania Bruguera, Paweł Althamer and Paul Chan. Since her controversial essay in Artforum in 2006, Claire Bishop has been one of the few to challenge the political and aesthetic ambitions of participatory art. In Artificial Hells, she not only scrutinizes the emancipatory claims made for these projects, but also provides an alternative to the ethical (rather than artistic) criteria invited by such artworks. Artificial Hells calls for a less prescriptive approach to art and politics, and for more compelling, troubling and bolder forms of participatory art and criticism.

Berlin : Sternberg Press, 2015
Abstract A Google executive once said: If you want to liberate a society just give them the Internet. But how do you liberate a society that already has the Internet? A new generation has taken to the Internet to defend the right to governance without secrets from Bradley Manning and WikiLeaks, to the Icelandic Modern Media Initiative and the revelations of Edward Snowden. A wide-ranging and multifaceted coalition is now busy revealing the militarized dystopia at the core of the modern state. The possibilities the Internet offers for self-organization and the sharing of information are undermined by the economically motivated power structure of the hidden, which does not fit with our democratic humanitarian principles. Metahaven (@mthvn), a Dutch design and research collective led by Vinca Kruk and Daniel van der Velden, has vocally supported WikiLeaks through their graphic design work. In this exhibition document cum manifesto, Metahaven s research and design work is translated into visual proposals, infographics, garments, short film and video interviews with internet activists and experts who weigh in on the ambiguity, contradictions and potential around the production and distribution of information. Contributions by media theorist Benjamin Bratton, intellectual property specialist James Grimmelmann, programmer Vinay Gupta, information activist Smári McCarthy, self-described hacker Eleanor Saitta and architect Liam Young. The book accompanies eponymous exhibitions of Metahaven s work at Bureau Europa in Maastricht and Future Gallery in Berlin.

7.035(410) MOR (MAC) MacCarthy, Fiona New Haven : Yale University Press, 2014.
Contents The art that is life: William Morris and the Red House Circle -- The Fellowship of the New Life: sexual politics and libertarianism -- Arts and Crafts: the meaning of the handmade object -- Cities of the sun: the garden city movement -- Heavens on earth: inter-war artistic communities -- Art for the people: the Festival of Britain
Abstract A beautifully illustrated portrayal of the life of the artist and writer who revolutionized Victorian society and whose legacy is still widely embraced today William Morris (1834–1896) was an artist, craftsman, designer, poet, polymath, and visionary thinker. Well known for advocating that objects of beauty be accessible to all, Morris had a tremendous impact on the British Socialist movement, the Arts and Crafts movement, the Garden City movement, as well as on successive generations of artists and thinkers in Britain and beyond. In this fascinating book, Fiona MacCarthy examines Morris’s vision of a society in which art could flourish, and how this idea resonated over the ensuing century. Anarchy and Beauty takes the reader through Morris’s fascinating career, from the establishment of his decorative arts shop (later Morris & Co.), to his radical sexual politics and libertarianism, and the publication in 1890 of his novel News from Nowhere, which envisions a utopian socialist society. MacCarthy then looks at the numerous artists and movements that bear the influence of Morris’s ideas: Arts and Crafts and the Garden City, which took hold in both Europe and the United States; artists’ communities that sprung up during the interwar years; and the 1951 Festival of Britain, whose mission was to bring the highest standards of design within the reach of everyone.

7.036(569.4) עפר עפרת, גדעון [תל אביב] : קרן עופר לוין לאמנות ישראלית, 2015
Abstract הספר "ברלין ירושלים : אמנות העליה מגרמניה" הוא הראשון
מתוך טרילוגיה, שכרכיה הבאים יהיו "פאריז - תל אביב" ו"ניו יורק - תל אביב", שלשה ספרים המבקשים להתמקד בשלושה הדיאלוגים האמנותיים הגדולים שניהלה האמנות הישראלית לדורותיה עם האמנות המערבית. הספר הנוכחי מתמקד באמני העליה החמישית, 1939-1933, ומשימתו ללכוד את רוח התרבות הגרמנית החזותית (בין שתי מלחמות העולם) בגלגולה היהודי-ארצישראלי. מכאן ההתפרשות על פני מדיומים חזותיים שונים שמעבר לציור-פיסול - המדיומים של קרמיקה, גרפיקה, טופוגרפיה, ובאורח לאקוני יותר - הצילום והארכיטקטורה. מכאן גן הבחירה להתייחס בספר גם לאמנים שלא נולדו בגרמניה, אך אמנים שלמדו אמנות בברלין, בדרזדן, מינכן וכו’. כאן קלטו אמני "ברלין-ירושלים" את מגמות האקפרסיוניזם, הבהוהאוס, הנויה-זאכלישקייט (האובייקטיביות החדשה) לצד שרידי האימפרסיוניזם או היוגנדשטיל (זרם הנעורים). כאן קלטו את זיקת האמנים לחברה, את האידיאה של האוטופיה החברתית (על צביונה המטאפיזי האפוקליפטי), כמו גם את הביקוש אחר תכנים ספרותיים.
ככלל, האמנים העולים מגרמניה שיתפו פעולה עם ה"ספרותי", בין כמעצבי ומאיירי ספרים ובין כמטמיעי מסרים סמליים, מוסריים ואידאיים ביצירתם החזותית: מחאה נגד מלחמות, דמונולוגיה, היסטוריוסופיה וכו’. הרובד ההיסטוריוסופי הוא שקשר את האמנים הנדונים ליהדות ולהיסטוריה היהודית.: חלקם גויסו לשירות אמנותי של התנועה הציונית, חלקם ביטאו ביצירתם את שקיעת יהדות מזרח-אירופה ואת אבדנה המאוחר יותר בשואה. מכאן, שרוח היסטוריוסופית יהודית טראגית מרחפת ביצירות של רבים מעולי גרמניה. ניתנת האמת להיאמר: האמנות הארצישראלית דחתה ברובה את הערכים הללו וגזרה "מלחמת תרבות", שהגלתה את רוב אמני הספר הנוכחי לחיפה, לקיבוצים ובעיקר - לירושלים. וכך, נכון לעכשיו, מעולם לא הוצגה תערוכה הבוחנת את תרומתה האמנותית המקפת של העלייה מגרמניה. בהתאם, זכויתיה וזכרה של תרומה זו הולכים ודוהים מהזיכרון התרבותי הישראלי. ספר זה הוא אפוא "ספר זכרון" ורקוויאם לפרק דחוי. בה בעת, לא פחות משהוא רקוויאם, הספר הוא הומאז’ גדול למרחב תרבותי שלם, שהותיר חותם בל-יימחה בתרבות הישראלית. -- כריכה אחורית Subject Art -- Israel -- History.

Abstract עד כמה שלובות זו בזו האמנות והארוטיקה בתרבות היפנית? במשך מאות שנים התפתח בתרבות היפנית הומור שנון שהתבטא בשירה, בסיפורת ובאמנות הפלסטית הקשורים למעשה המיני. האמנות היפנית הארוטית, המכונה שוּנגָה (春画; shunga; תמונות אביב), הייתה ידועה בתקופות מוקדמות ביפן בשם ואראי-אֶ (笑い絵; warai-e; תמונות מצחיקות), או ואראי-הוֹן (笑い本; warai-hon; ספרים מצחיקים). בשפה היפנית העתיקה, למשל, יש למילה ואראי משמעות כפולה: "צחוק" ו"עינוג עצמי". נוסף על ההיגוי ואראי, "צחוק", הסימנית 笑 נקראת ביפנית גם אֶמו, כינוי שמשמעותו ניצן פורח. הביטוי אֶמי וָארֶרוּ (笑み割れる שמשמעותו "לצחוק ולפסק") משמעו ערמון בשל שמתבקע. לכן המושג אֶמֵרוּ (emeru) מסמל דבר מה ש"נפתח ומתבקע", והפך למילה נרדפת לאיבר המין הנשי

Abstract There are few design studios worldwide that can deliver projects of such consistently high quality as the Japanese studio Nendo. Expertly melding architecture and interior, product, and graphic design with sculpture and installation, Nendo’s work is both clear and sophisticated. The functionality of their projects is in line with established Japanese design traditions, yet their lightheartedness and humor is also inspired by the country’s pop culture. The name Nendo, Japanese for modeling clay, is indicative of their skill at playing with the fundamental properties of objects. The studio has firmly established itself on the global design scene and routinely wins international awards. This monograph presents a striking selection of Nendo’s multifaceted work including vibrant store concepts, mystically inspired exhibition spaces, sculptural furniture pieces, home accessories, and design objects. Regardless of how diverse the included styles appear to be, they all give the reader a sense of where the future of design is heading.

New York : Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, 2014.
Abstract Cooper Hewitt possesses one of the most diverse and comprehensive collections of design works in existence and is the only museum in the United States devoted exclusively to historic and contemporary design. Reopening in late 2014, the museum has undergone a transformative renovation. Its landmark home in the Andrew Carnegie Mansion offers an entirely new and interactive visitor experience resulting in 60 percent more gallery space. To mark the occasion, Cooper Hewitt is publishing an expansive book on its unparalleled collection, which consists of more than 210,000 objects from all over the world, spanning 30 centuries. Designed by Irma Boom, and a wonderful design object in itself at over 900 pages, the book expresses the museum’s primary goal--to inspire people to see how design impacts their lives. Available in three different colors and printing with glow in the dark ink, the book embodies design process. This user-centered approach is reinforced throughout the pages with 54 narratives and an extensive process glossary that discusses individual objects through a design lens. Featuring more than 1,100 collection objects selected by the curatorial staff, Smithsonian Design Library, and renowned designer Irma Boom, Making Design is organized entirely by Boom’s visual sequencing of images; her design and the curators’ essays weave parallel narratives throughout the book. This wildly playful and unexpected jaunt through the collection ends with Boom’s exploration of her process, "Making Making Design," which embraces the essence design and the new experiences in Cooper Hewitt’s galleries.
"’Making Design’ marks the transformative renovation of Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum and signifies an entirely new way to experience a museum and its collection. Cooper Hewitt possesses an extraordinarily diverse collection--totaling more than 210,000 objects--and is the only museum in the United States devoted exclusively to historic and contemporary works from around the world, spanning thirty centuries. Designed by Irma Boom, and an object in itself, visible in the dark and in the light, the book expresses the museum’s primary goal--to inspire people to see how design impacts their lives. The 1145 collection objects and fifty-four essays, drawn from new scholarship, weave parallel narratives throughout the book. Boom’s visual sequences encourage looking at objects as well as making connections. This playful and unexpected jaunt through the collection embraces the user-centered experiences found on the dynamic website and in the galleries of the new Cooper Hewitt."--Back cover. Per.Sub.

Abstract Exist, orient, store, inebriate, measure, exchange, store, recite, write, think, navigate, love, share, rule, play, boil, adore, pierce, kill . . . The curators Andrea Branzi and Kenya Hara selected one hundred verbs, connected to one hundred objects, to let us travel across human history; words which relate to actions which relate to objects. Walking through the exhibition Neo-Prehistory at Triennale di Milano and reading this book means becoming lost in a space out of time, dark and multiplied by mirrors that make the exhibition apparently boundless. An infinite space where the hypnotic sequence of artifacts is emphasized by the primeval sound of a heartbeat slowing down and then accelerating rhythmically in a mesmeric cycle.
"On the occasion of the XXI International Exposition, Triennale di Milano presents the exhibition named "Neo Preistoria, 100 Verbs". The exhibition retraces the long journey from the instruments of ancient prehistory to the latest nano-technologies. A journey inspired by the power of "100 verbs" and "100 instruments" which, like streams of mysterious, life-giving energy, guide the viewer through the dark clouds of history and of infinite space. Reaching all the way to today’s frontiers of scientific research, which is striving to prolong human survival by creating spare parts for our bodies. The as yet relatively unexplored twenty-first century is in this sense a new prehistoric age, a time when the destiny of humanity still had no clear direction and when objects possessed many meanings, from their practical uses to ritual and magical functions. Artificial thought today marks the beginning of a new anthropology, a new stage in human evolution, in which, as in ancient prehistory, we cannot make out our overall destiny but only our individual leaps in the dark. This loss of direction is still very much a part of the extreme vitality and creativity of human thought and technology, which is to be found both in instruments of death and in the extension of life towards a future still waiting to be explored. The exhibition does not therefore intend to investigate the future, but rather to look at the present and at its most ingenious and dangerous aspects.

7.05(73) DRE Drenttel, William Hamden, Connecticut : Design Observer Group / 2015
Abstract Designer and publisher William Drenttel (1953–2013) was co-founder and editorial director of Design Observer. Since its inception in 2003, Drenttel contributed to Design Observer almost weekly on all manner of topics, from social change to democracy to his early career on Madison Avenue. We’ve collected two dozen essays—originally published on Design Observer—and an introduction by friend and former literary editor of the New Republic, Leon Wieseltier, and put them into print for the first time, including the lively comments and conversations that followed their original publication. "Persistence of Vision" is not only a tribute to a greatly missed design leader, but serves as an important addition to the design writing canon.

7.05(73) VIG Vignelli, Massimo Massimo Vignelli : collected writings from Design Observer / Observer editions
New York : Design Observer Group, 2015 Abstract Massimo Vignelli (1931–2014) was one of the most influential designers of the twentieth—and twenty-first—centuries. The work he and his wife Lella accomplished at Vignelli Associates is universally admired. While Massimo himself never wrote for Design Observer, he appeared throughout its pages in spirit and as an example for over ten years. This collection of writings about Vignelli from the Design Obsevrer archives—interviews, memories, observations, and critiques—includes selections from the lively comments and discussions that appeared after the original publication of these pieces. Contributors include Michael Bierut, Jessica Helfand, Debbie Millman, and Alice Twemlow, among others.

Contents Introduction: the city that lost its soul -- Uncommon spaces. How Brooklyn became cool ; Why Harlem is not a ghetto ; Living local in the East Village -- Common spaces. Union square and the paradox of public space ; A tale of two globals : Pupusas and IKEA in Red Hook ; The billboard and the garden : a struggle for roots -- Conclusion. Destination culture and the crisis of authenticity.
Abstract As cities have gentrified, educated urbanites have come to prize what they regard as "authentic" urban life: aging buildings, art galleries, small boutiques, upscale food markets, neighborhood old-timers, funky ethnic restaurants, and old, family-owned shops. These signify a place’s authenticity, in contrast to the bland standardization of the suburbs and exurbs. But as Sharon Zukin shows in Naked City, the rapid and pervasive demand for authenticity--evident in escalating real estate prices, expensive stores, and closely monitored urban streetscapes--has helped drive out the very people who first lent a neighborhood its authentic aura: immigrants, the working class, and artists. Zukin traces this economic and social evolution in six archetypal New York areas--Williamsburg, Harlem, the East Village, Union Square, Red Hook, and the city’s community gardens--and travels to both the city’s first IKEA store and the World Trade Center site. She shows that for followers of Jane Jacobs, this transformation is a perversion of what was supposed to happen. Indeed, Naked City is a sobering update of Jacobs’ legendary 1961 book, The Death and Life of Great American Cities. Like Jacobs, Zukin looks at what gives neighborhoods a sense of place, but argues that over time, the emphasis on neighborhood distinctiveness has become a tool of economic elites to drive up real estate values and effectively force out the neighborhood "characters" that Jacobs so evocatively idealized.

725.22 HEA Headley, Gwyn London : National Trust, 2012
Abstract Bringing together Britain’s best-loved ornamental, fantastical, and sometimes just plain mystifying buildings, this charming gift book is packed with beautiful photos and fascinating historical information written in a chatty and accessible style Britain’s countryside is liberally sprinkled with follies—eccentric, original buildings built for fun by landowners and aristocrats over the centuries. They include prospect towers, ornamental temples, rustic hermits’ cottages, faux-prehistoric stone circles, and some buildings that don’t seem to have had any purpose at all. In this fascinating and stylish book, folly expert Gwyn Headley brings together some of the most beautiful and intriguing follies, from the craggy fake ruin at Mow Cop in Cheshire to the elegant buildings created by Henry Hoare for his great landscape garden at Stourhead. He also introduces some very extraordinary characters, such as Frederick Hervey, the "Earl-Bishop," who had an obsession with women, volcanoes, and rotundas, and Sir Thomas Tresham, whose fervent Catholicism inspired him to create the extraordinary Lyveden New Bield, an unfinished building suffused with religious symbolism. Fully illustrated with exquisite images of these remarkable buildings, this insightful book will inspire the folly hunter in everyone.

Jackson : University Press of Mississippi / 2001
Abstract With essays by Jan Baetens, David A. Beron, Frank L. Cioffi, N. C. Christopher Couch, Robert C. Harvey, Gene Kannenberg, Jr., Catherine Khordoc, David Kunzle, Marion D. Perret, and Todd Taylor In our culture, which depends increasingly on images for instruction and recreation, it is important to ask how words and images make meaning when they are combined. Comics, one of the most widely read media of the twentieth century, serves as an ideal for focusing an investigation on the word-and-image question. This collection of essays attempts to give an answer. The first six see words and images as separate art forms that play with or against each other. David Kunzle finds that words restrict the meaning of the art of Adolphe Willette and Theophile-Alexandre Steinlen in Le Chat Noir. David A. Beronä, examining wordless novels, argues that the ability to read pictures depends on the ability to read words. Todd Taylor draws on classical rhetoric to demonstrate that images in The Road Runner are more persuasive than words.

Abstract The Comics of Chris Ware: Drawing Is a Way of Thinking brings together contributions from established and emerging scholars about the comics of Chicago-based cartoonist Chris Ware (b. 1967).

Pamphlet : The awakening / Reto Caduff -- Ladislav Sutnar’s Monograph manifesto / Steven Heller -- [Facsimile reprint 2015] -- Ladislav Sutnar biography. Abstract Sutnar’s brilliant structural systems for clarifying otherwise dense industrial data placed him in the pantheon of Modernist pioneers and made him one of the visionaries of what is today called “information design.” Visual Design in Action is a snapshot of Sutnar’s American period (1939-1976), and includes graphics for Carr’s Department Store, advertisements for the Vera Neumann Company, identity for Addo-X, and other stunningly contemporary works. He is best known for his total design concept for the Sweets Catalog Service and lesser known for introducing the parenthesis as a way to typographically distinguish the area code from the rest of a phone number. Visual Design in Action is a testament to the historical relevance of Modernism and the philosophical resonance of Sutnar’s focus on the functional beauty of total clarity. This reprint of Visual Design in Action (originally published in limited quantities in 1961) is as spot-on about the power of design and “design thinking” as it ever was.

Abstract In 1905, a young sociologist named Lewis Hine Wickes decided to pursue photography as the medium with which to denounce injustice and poverty. Hine was one of the first photographers to document the wave of mass immigration from an impoverished Europe to an economically booming America, and his portraits of immigrants at Ellis Island offered a more positive image of this influx. Later, while working with the National Child Labor Committee, Hine compiled a vast corpus of images that showed how American industry was making use of child labor, helping to bring about changes in U.S. child labor law. But as he wearied of photographing poverty, Hine developed an idealized vision of the worker that emphasized the dignity of labor--a vision that culminated in his legendary Men at Work series, first published in 1932 and today a classic American photobook. "We call this the Machine Age," he wrote in its introduction, "But the more machines we use, the more do we need real men to make and direct them." This beautifully produced volume, which includes a complete facsimile of Men at Work, is compiled from the collection of the George Eastman House, to whom Hine’s son bequeathed his archive after his death. It includes both well-known series and recently discovered early works, plus rare family photographs, ephemera and a detailed chronology. The works are arranged in thematic groupings: "Ellis Island," "Tenements," "Child Labor," "Chicago and New York," "Pittsburgh," "Europe," "Black America," "Empire State Building" and "New Deal." Lewis Hine (1874-1940) was born in Wisconsin and studied sociology at the University of Chicago. He served as official photographer for the WPA and for the construction of the Empire State Building. His later years were filled with professional struggles due to loss of patronage.
