Abstract Welcome to the Gender Data Gap. Our world is largely built for and by men, in a system that can ignore half the population. This book will tell you how and why this matters In her new book, Invisible Women, award-winning campaigner and writer Caroline Criado Perez shows us how, in a world largely built for and by men, we are systematically ignoring half the population. She exposes the gender data gap - a gap in our knowledge that is at the root of perpetual, systemic discrimination against women, and that has created a pervasive but invisible bias with a profound effect on women’s lives. Caroline brings together for the first time an impressive range of case studies, stories and new research from across the world that illustrate the hidden ways in which women are excluded from the very building blocks of the world we live in, and the impact this has on their health and wellbeing. From government policy and medical research, to technology, workplaces, urban planning and the media - Invisible Women exposes the biased data that excludes women. In making the case for change, this powerful and provocative book will make you see the world anew. Subject Sex discrimination against women.

Melosi -- Urban Ecosystems, City Planning, and Environmental Education: Literature, Precedents, Key Concepts, and Prospects / Anne Whiston Spirn -- A Human Ecology Model for the Tianjin Urban Ecosystem: Integrating Human Ecology, Ecosystem Scien Abstract Nowhere on Earth is the challenge for ecological understanding greater, and yet more urgent, than in those parts of the globe where human activity is most intense - cities. People need to understand how cities work as ecological systems so they can take control of the vital links between human actions and environmental quality, and work for an ecologically and economically sustainable future. An ecosystem approach integrates biological, physical and social factors and embraces historical and geographical dimensions, providing our best hope for coping with the complexity of cities. This book is a first of its kind effort to bring together leaders in the biological, physical and social dimensions of urban ecosystem research with leading education researchers, administrators and practitioners, to show how an understanding of urban ecosystems is vital for urban dwellers to grasp the fundamentals of ecological and environmental science, and to understand their own environment.

575 FAR Farrelly, Colin Genetic ethics : an introduction Cambridge ; Medford : Polity, [2018]. Contents Eugenics : inherently immoral? -- The genetic revolution : a snapshot -- Disease -- Epigenetics -- Reproductive freedom -- Aging research and longevity -- Happiness, memory and behaviour. Abstract Colin Farrelly contemplates the various ethical and social quandaries raised by the genetic revolution. Recent biomedical advances such as genetic screening, gene therapy and genome editing might be used to promote equality of opportunity, reproductive freedom, healthy aging, and the prevention and treatment of disease. But these technologies also raise a host of ethical questions: Is the idea of “genetically engineering” humans a morally objectionable form of eugenics? Should parents undergoing IVF be permitted to screen embryos for the sex of their offspring? Would it be ethical to alter the rate at which humans age, greatly increasing longevity at a time when the human population is already at potentially unsustainable levels? Farrelly applies an original virtue ethics framework to assess these and other challenges posed by the genetic revolution. Chapters discuss virtue ethics in relation to eugenics, infectious and chronic disease, evolutionary biology, epigenetics, happiness, reproductive freedom and longevity. This fresh approach creates a roadmap for thinking ethically about technological progress that will be of practical use to ethicists and scientists for years to come. Accessible in tone and compellingly argued, this book is an ideal introduction for students of bioethics, applied ethics, biomedical sciences, and related courses in philosophy and life sciences.

E96.67 KAR Ganesh Karbhari, Dipak Karbhari. Smart antennas with various direction of arrival algorithms Mauritius : LAP LAMBERT Academic Publishing, [2019] Abstract Smart antennas (also known as adaptive array antennas, digital antenna arrays, multiple antennas and, recently, MIMO) are antenna arrays with smart signal processing algorithms used to identify spatial signal signatures such as the direction of arrival (DOA) of the signal, and use them to calculate beamforming vectors which are used to track and locate the antenna beam on the mobile/target. Smart antennas should not be confused with reconfigurable antennas, which have similar capabilities but are single element antennas and not antenna arrays. Smart antenna techniques are used notably in acoustic signal processing, track and scan radar, radio astronomy and radio telescopes, and mostly in cellular systems like W-CDMA, UMTS, and LTE. Smart antennas have many functions: DOA estimation, beamforming, interference nulling, and constant modulus preservation.

741.7(73) NAE Naeem, Asma Black out : silhouettes then and now Princeton, New Jersey : Princeton University Press, [2018] Contents Director’s foreword / Kim Sajet -- Introduction / Asma Naeem -- Black out : silhouettes then and now / Asma Naeem -- Without a trace : the art and life of Martha Ann Honeywell / Alexander Nemerov -- "Interesting characters by the lines of their faces" : Moses Williams’s profile portrait silhouettes of Native Americans / Gwendolyn DuBois Shaw -- Shades of black and white : American portrait silhouettes / Penley Knipe -- Catalogue entries / Anne Verplanck and Asma Naeem. Abstract The first book highlighting the historical roots and contemporary implications of the silhouette as an American art form Before the advent of photography in 1839, Americans were consumed by the fashion for silhouette portraits. Economical in every sense, the small, stark profiles cost far less than oil paintings and could be made in minutes. Black Out, the first major publication to focus on the development of silhouettes, gathers leading experts to shed light on the surprisingly complex historical, political, and social underpinnings of this ostensibly simple art form. In its examination of portraits by acclaimed silhouettists, such as Auguste Edouart and William Bache, this richly illustrated volume explores likenesses of everyone from presidents and celebrities to everyday citizens and enslaved people. Ultimately, the book reveals how silhouettes registered the paradoxes of the unstable young nation, roiling with tensions over slavery and political independence. Primarily tracing the rise of the silhouette in the decades leading up to the Civil War, Black Out also considers the ubiquity of the genre today, particularly in contemporary art. Using silhouettes to address such themes as race, identity, and the notion of the digital self, the four featured living artists--Kara Walker, Kristi Malakoff, Kumi Yamashita, and Camille Utterback―all take the silhouette to unique and fascinating new heights. Presenting the distinctly American story behind silhouettes, Black Out vividly delves into the historical roots and contemporary interpretations of this evocative, ever popular form of portraiture.

75.036(73) HOP (MEC) Hopper, Edward Edward Hopper : the watercolors New York : W.W. Norton, [1999] Contents Parisian evenings and New York corners -- Old houses and immigrant fishermen -- Coast Guard cottages and Civil War cannon -- Discovering Cape Cod -- Home of their own and Mexico too Abstract Edward Hopper has been celebrated for over half a century as America’s most eloquent realist artist. His best known oils, such as Nighthawks, Early Sunday Morning, and House by a Railroad, are powerful psychological statements that convey a sense of angst and alienation. Yet there is another Hopper we know less well: the freer, more spontaneous spirit that emerges in his watercolors. In 1923 he spent a summer in Gloucester, Massachusetts, and began painting houses, landscapes, and fishing boats. In them he captures remnants of nineteenth-century America that for him symbolized the fundamental character of the country’s people and places, and prompted him to reexamine his views about the relationship between the past and the modern. Over the next two decades, Hopper painted hundreds of watercolors, in Gloucester, the coast of Maine, New Mexico, and Cape Cod. This beautiful book reproduces and examines over one hundred of Hopper’s greatest watercolors in the context of his life and travels. It is an indispensable book for anyone interested in American art. 101 four-color and 40 black-and-white illustrations. 101 four-color and 40 black-and-white illustrations During the summer of 1923, Edward Hopper fled the summer heat of New York City with thousands of others. His destination was the resort town of Gloucester. It was there - perhaps inspired by the particular light and quality of the place - that he took up the medium of watercolor. It was also there that he met his future wife, fellow painter, and constant companion, Jo Nivison Per.Sub.

Abstract The sublime visions of Surrealist master Rene Magritte often began in a viewfinder. In this major study, the first of its kind, noted photography critic, author and Magritte scholar Patrick Roegiers draws eye-opening connections between the artist’s enduring paintings and his use of the emerging medium of photography, which he used as a hobby, as well as a serious component of his painting, and as an art in itself. Examining more than 200 previously unpublished photographs from Magritte’s personal collection, Roegiers finds both important source material and illuminating biographical revelations. We see here pictures of friends--including the Belgian Surrealists Scutenaire, Nouge and Mesens--and acquaintances, whom Magritte sometimes shot in stage-managed tableaux. We glimpse his family and especially his wife, muse and model Georgette, posing whimsically and earnestly, as they decamp for Paris in 1927 and return to Brussels three years later. And perhaps most vitally important to understanding Magritte’s work, his self-portraiture through photography provides crucial insight into the creation of his bowler-hatted icon and paintings such as "La Clairvoyance" from 1936. A photograph of this last work shows the artist at the easel of the famous painting of himself painting a bird. Later in life, as Magritte’s fame grew, he himself was also a subject of other photographers’ pictures, including photographs by Duane Michals on Magritte’s first trip to the United States in 1965 and by Adelaide de Menil in Texas, in which the artist amusingly trades his bowler for a Stetson. This clear-eyed, all-encompassing look at what Magritte saw through the camera, and what he did in front of it, adds substantially to our appreciation of the artist who gave us the eye of "Le Faux Miroir."

75.036.93(436) KLI (MEZ) Klimt, Gustav Gustav Klimt : drawings & watercolors London : Thames & Hudson, [2005] Contents Vienna and the world: the great inconsistency -- Klimt’s historicism: the graphic works before 1899 -- The secession principle: naked truth and truthful nakedness -- Klimt’s naturalism: the graphic works 1899-1910 -- Abstraction and empathy: Klimt’s art of decoration -- Seeing and being seen: through Klimt’s eyes -- Klimt’s modernism: the graphic works 1910-18 -- The self and the ego: Klimt, Schiele, Kokoschka -- Klimt and art: the little that is much Abstract There is no doubt about Gustav Klimt’s greatness as a draftsman. Remarkable above all is the intensely sensual mood that he establishes in his limpid, fluid drawings and watercolors: the pencil or crayon line with which his subjects are described explores and caresses as though the act of drawing was itself a seduction. Klimt’s drawings are often highly erotic and explicit, many to such an extent that they have rarely been reproduced. This has made for an unbalanced representation of his work as a draftsman, and a comprehensive survey of his graphic output is long overdue. Rainer Metzger, a noted art historian, has brought together hundreds of Klimt’s drawings and watercolors in a way that enriches our knowledge of the artist and enhances the visual impact of his oeuvre. Klimt’s drawings and studies, and his elegantly direct and dangerously intoxicating preparatory sketches, reveal the underlying impetus for and structure of his elaborate canvases. 307 color illustrations.

76.026 WIL Williams, Jim London : Merrell, [2012] Contents Background : A brief history of type design ; The origins of typographic terminology ; Type measurement ; Roman type ; The anatomy of letterforms ; Why some typefaces look bigger ; Type families -- Setting headlines and display type : Selecting a typeface ; Headlines and display type ; Shape ; Hanging punctuation ; Visual centring ; Tittle, or ’i’ and ’j’ dot ; Ink traps -- Text setting : Selecting a typeface ; Leading ; Size to measure ; Kerning ; Figures ; Letter spacing ; Colour ; Legibility and readability ; Shape ; Alignment ; Indicating paragraphs ; Numbers in text ; Emphasis in text ; Hanging punctuation ; Clash ; Hyphenation ; Widows and orphans ; Apostrophes and quotation marks ; Ligatures ; Ampersands ; Diphthongs ; Raised or drop capitals ; Capitals and small capitals ; Scripts ; Parentheses ; Email addresses ; Three rules ; Titling typefaces ; Reader’s marks -- Glossary of terms Abstract Once upon a time, only typesetters needed to know about kerning, leading, ligatures, and hanging punctuation. Today, however, most of us work on computers, with access to hundreds of fonts, and we’d all like our letters, reports and other documents to look as good - and as readable - as possible. But what does all the confusing terminology about ink traps, letter spacing, and visual centring mean, and what are the rules for good typography? Type Matters! is a book of tips for everyday use, for all users of typography, from students and professionals to anyone who does any layout design on a computer. The book is arranged into three chapters: an introduction to the basics of typography; headline and display type; and setting text. Within each chapter there are sections devoted to particular principles or problems, such as selecting the right typeface, leading, and the treatment of numbers. Examples throughout show precisely what makes good typography - and, crucially, what doesn’t. Authoritatively written and designed by a practitioner and teacher of typography, Type Matters! has a beautifully clear layout that reinforces the principles discussed throughout Subject Graphic design (Typography) Type and type-founding Graphic arts Lettering Signs and signboards 43046 |

77.04 GUT (PHI) Gutmann, John The photography of John Gutmann : culture shock London : Merrell in association with the Iris & B. Gerald Center for Visual Arts at Stanford University, 2000 Abstract This retrospective volume traces Gutmann’s career from his training as a painter in Germany, first under renowned Expressionist Otto Muller, then in the wild, decadent Berlin of the 1930s, through his resolution to leave during Hitler’s ascent to power, to his decision to settle in San Francisco. As a Jew, Gutmann was forbidden by the Nazis to exhibit or teach; photojournalism struck him as a useful means of supporting himself as a refugee. He had no training as a photographer and no interest in the medium as a pure art form, but he was fascinated by the popular culture of photography in magazines. Bringing to San Francisco the eye for the bizarre that he had developed in recording the vibrant, cosmopolitan life of Berlin - an eye further sensitized by his status as an exile in a strange country - Gutmann photographed the odd, the morbid, and the freakish with the detachment of an anthropologist examining an exotic culture A compilation of photographs taken by John Gutmann captures the social turbulence in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s Per.Sub.

77.041.6 ICO Icons of style : a century of fashion photography Los Angeles : J. Paul Getty Museum, [2018]. This publication accompanies the exhibition Icons of Style: A Century of Fashion Photography, 1911-2011, on view at the J. Paul Getty Museum at the Getty Center, Los Angeles, from June 26 to October 21, 2018"--Colophon. Contents Foreword / Timothy Potts -- Introduction / Paul Martineau -- Fashion, photography, culture : a chronology -- From contrivance to "naturalism," 1911-29 / Anne McCauley -- Style in the face of crisis, 1930-46 / Paul Martineau -- Letting the skirts down, 1947-69 / Susanna Brown -- From rebellion to seduction, 1970-89 / Michal Raz-Russo -- Ye fakers : realism and fantasy, 1990-2011 / Ivan Shaw. Abstract In 1911 the French publisher Lucien Vogel challenged Edward Steichen to create the first artistic, rather than merely documentary, fashion photographs, a moment that is now considered to be a turning point in the history of fashion photography. As fashion changed over the next century, so did the photography of fashion. Steichen’s modernist approach was forthright and visually arresting. In the 1930s the photographer Martin Munkácsi pioneered a gritty, photojournalistic style. In the 1960s Richard Avedon encouraged his models to express their personalities by smiling and laughing, which had often been discouraged previously. Helmut Newton brought an explosion of sexuality into fashion images and turned the tables on traditional gender stereotypes in the 1970s, and in the 1980s Bruce Weber and Herb Ritts made male sexuality an important part of fashion photography. Today, following the integration of digital technology, teams like Inez & Vinoodh and Mert & Marcus are reshaping our notion of what is acceptable—not just aesthetically but also technically and conceptually—in a fashion photograph. This lavishly illustrated survey of one hundred years of fashion photography updates and reevaluates this history in five chronological chapters by experts in photography and fashion history. It includes more than three hundred photographs by the genre’s most famous practitioners as well as important but lesser-known figures, alongside a selection of costumes, fashion illustrations, magazine covers, and advertisements.

791.43 WOH Wohl, Michael Los Angeles, California : Vrrrynice.com, [2019]. Contents Part I: Preparing to shoot -- Part II: Production -- Part III: Post production -- Part IV: Finishing. Abstract The 360° Video Handbook (2nd Edition) is a practical hands-on guidebook for producers, directors, cinematographers, sound recordists, and editors interested in creating 360-degree video and VR180 video. It covers every aspect of the spherical video pipeline, from development, to production, to editing and finishing, to outputting and distributing your final piece. While you can read it front-to-back, it’s also designed to be used as a handy reference. Each topic is contained in a succinct, easy-to-understand chapter, the different sections are color coded so you can flip right to the section you want, and technical terms and obscure terminology is defined right in the margins. Wohl courses an easy-to-follow trail through the thicket of technobabble and jargon. The book provides nuts-and-bolts recommendations on everything from the selection of cameras, microphones, and editing tools, to aesthetic and creative decisions such as camera placement and blocking, as well as editing, incorporating titles, transitions, and other effects. And finally, he provides detailed instructions for how to output your finished work, and where to upload it to reach the maximum audience. “Michael Wohl did a fantastic job with The 360° Video Handbook. He covers the current—and ever changing—state of the art, provides enough detail to be practical, presents a balanced view where there are differing opinions, and avoids getting bogged down in technical minutia. I haven’t come across a similar resource, and it’s a book that will be very easy to recommend.”— Mike Swanson, Pixvana Subject Video recordings -- Production and direction. Digital media 43107
