Playing with Type 50 graphic experiments for exploring typographic design principles


Free Download Lara McCormick, "Playing with Type: 50 graphic experiments for exploring typographic design principles"
English | 2013 | pages: 192 | ISBN: 1592538177 | PDF | 39,4 mb
Playing with Type is a hands-on, playful approach to learning type application and principles. This engagingguide begins with an introduction to the philosophy of learning through the process of play. Along with a series of experimental design projects with an emphasis on type, the author provides designers with a "toolkit" of ideas and skills developed through the process of play. The awareness and sensitivity to type styles, forms, and type choices gained through these visual experiments will increase the designer’s confidence in their personal and professional work. This book can be used in the classroom or independently, and readers can go directly to exercises that appeal to them.

Field Work and Laboratory Experiments in Integrated Environmental Sciences


Free Download Field Work and Laboratory Experiments in Integrated Environmental Sciences by Noriko Hasebe, Masato Honda, Keisuke Fukushi, Seiya Nagao
English | PDF EPUB (True) | 2024 | 222 Pages | ISBN : 9819965314 | 56 MB
This book introduces the variety of research skills necessary for integrated environmental science, which are applicable to atmospheric, oceanic, terrestrial, and biota studies. The surface environment of the earth is a complex system consisting of atmospheric, oceanic, and terrestrial regions as well as the biota therein, all of which interact with one another to various extents. The integration of research disciplines including earth science, biology, chemistry, physics, and social science is a core of environmental science. It encourages students and early-career scientists to take a broad view of the whole environmental system. Detailed practical information for the field or laboratory work in this book helps students and scientists to plan research strategy for their own scope and interests. In addition, this book is also useful for professionals to teach field and laboratory work in environmental science to students. This book is based on the environmental summer school program organized by the Institute of Nature and Environmental Technology, Kanazawa University, in Japan.

Desiring China Experiments in Neoliberalism, Sexuality, and Public Culture


Free Download Desiring China: Experiments in Neoliberalism, Sexuality, and Public Culture By Lisa Rofel
2007 | 264 Pages | ISBN: 0822339358 | PDF | 1 MB
Through window displays, newspapers, soap operas, gay bars, and other public culture venues, Chinese citizens are negotiating what it means to be cosmopolitan citizens of the world, with appropriate needs, aspirations, and longings. Lisa Rofel argues that the creation of such "desiring subjects" is at the core of China’s contingent, piece-by-piece reconfiguration of its relationship to a post-socialist world. In a study at once ethnographic, historical, and theoretical, she contends that neoliberal subjectivities are created through the production of various desires-material, sexual, and affective-and that it is largely through their engagements with public culture that people in China are imagining and practicing appropriate desires for the post-Mao era.Drawing on her research over the past two decades among urban residents and rural migrants in Hangzhou and Beijing, Rofel analyzes the meanings that individuals attach to various public cultural phenomena and what their interpretations say about their understandings of post-socialist China and their roles within it. She locates the first broad-based public debate about post-Mao social changes in the passionate dialogues about the popular 1991 television soap opera Yearnings. She describes how the emergence of gay identities and practices in China reveals connections to a transnational network of lesbians and gay men at the same time that it brings urban/rural and class divisions to the fore. The 1999-2001 negotiations over China’s entry into the World Trade Organization; a controversial women’s museum; the ways that young single women portray their longings in relation to the privations they imagine their mothers experienced; adjudications of the limits of self-interest in court cases related to homoerotic desire, intellectual property, and consumer fraud-Rofel reveals all of these as sites where desiring subjects come into being.

Physics Experiments Using PCs A Guide for Instructors and Students


Free Download Physics Experiments Using PCs: A Guide for Instructors and Students by H. M. Staudenmaier
English | PDF | 1993 | 317 Pages | ISBN : 3540588019 | 25.8 MB
Physics practical classes form an important part of many scientific and technical courses in higher education. In addition to the older standard experiments, such practicals now generally include a few computer-controlled experiments developed in association with the research groups active in the particular university or college. Since there is relatively little exchange of information between the teaching staff of different institutes, the personal computer, despite its ubiquity, is underexploited in this role as a teaching aid. The present book provides a detailed description of a number of computer-controlled experiments suitable for practical classes. Both the relevant physics and the computational techniques are presented in a form that enables the readers to construct and/or perform the experiment themselves.
