Anarchic Dance
Liz Aggiss , and Billy Cowie Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 0415365171 |
Book Description
Liz Aggiss and Billy Cowie, known collectively as Divas Dance Theatre, are renowned for their highly visual, interdisciplinary brand of dance performance that incorporates elements of theatre, film, opera, poetry and vaudevillian humor. They have created dance theatre, cabaret, live art, single and multiple screen dance installations, and live performance installations.
Anarchic Dance is a visual and textual record of the work of Divas Dance Theatre. The DVD-Rom included in the package features extracts from Aggiss and Cowie's work, including the highly-acclaimed dance film Motion Control (first premiered on BBC2 in 2002), rare video footage of their punk-comic live performances as The Wild Wigglers and reconstruction of Aggiss' solo performance in Grotesque Dancer.
These films are cross-referenced in the book, allowing readers to match performance and commentary as Aggiss and Cowie invite a broad range of writers to examine their live performance and dance screen practice through analysis, theory, discussion and personal response. As much as their practice is hybrid, maverick and hard to define, the various theories presented are equally challenging, lively and fresh.
Extensively illustrated with black and white and color photographs, this beautiful multi-media package is a celebration of Divas' boundary-shattering performance work. Anarchic Dance provides a comprehensive investigation into Cowie and Aggiss' collaborative partnership and demonstrates a range of exciting approaches through which dance performance can be engaged critically.

Book Description
The two "Images of the Southwest" volumes are companion CD-ROMs to the "Photographing the Southwest" books. They contain photographic material conveniently sorted by book chapters, allowing readers to pre-visualize the sites described in the books. A fantastic tool for preparing a trip to the Southwest. More than 500 high-quality images are presented in the two volumes. Those who see the CD-ROMs can't quit raving about them: outstanding photography, optimized color correction and sharpness, convenient 1024x768 wallpaper format. Together, both CDs represent more than 500 images covering a remarkable diversity of sites, many of which are little-known jewels. But don't be alarmed, we've included two great navigation tools for Windows and Macintosh computers that will get you browsing through the libraries in seconds. At only $19.95 per Volume, these CD-ROMs are a steal, compared to so-called screen savers, offering a meager 20 images.Customer Reviews:

Sacred Images
Leslie Kelen , and David Sucec Manufacturer: Gibbs Smith, Publisher ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0879057343 |
Book Description
For lovers of French decorating, this book reproduces some of the earliest toile designs from 18th-century France. Delicate flower prints, fun animal motifs, rich historic scenes, and complex architectural patterns are just some of the subjects reproduced here in rich color. The patterns in Toiles de Jouy are reproduced from an antiquarian book containing 50 plates of French toile fabric and wallpaper patterns. The range of colors is astounding and illustrates that toiles aren't always simply one color on a neutral ground. Some of the most fascinating were designed originally in multiple colors. A new introduction and stories about the toile patterns give decorators, home designers and Francophiles information about toiles that they've never seen before.Customer Reviews:

Analysis of Low Probability of Intercept (LPI) Radar Signals Using Cyclostationary Processing
Manufacturer: Storming Media ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 1423507649 |
Product Description
This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A110704. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: LPI radar is a class of radar systems that possess certain performance characteristics that make them nearly undetectable by today's digital intercept receivers, This presents a significant tactical problem in the battle space To detect these types of radar, new digital receivers that use sophisticated signal processing techniques are required This thesis investigates the use of cyclostationary processing to extract the modulation parameters from a variety of continuous-wave (CW) low-probability-of- intercept (LPI) radar waveforms, The cyclostationary detection techniques described exploit the fact that digital signals vary in time with single or multiple periodicities, because they have spectral correlation, namely, non-zero correlation between certain frequency components, at certain frequency shifts, The use of cyclostationary signal processing in a non-cooperative intercept receiver can help identify the particular emitter and can help develop electronic attacks, LPI CW waveforms examined include Frank codes, polyphase codes (Pt through P4), Frequency Modulated CW (FMCW), Costas frequencies as well as several frequency-shift- keying/phase-shift-keying (FSK/PSK) waveforms It is shown that for signal-to- noise ratios of OdB and -6 dB, the cyclostationary signal processing can extract the modulation parameters necessary in order to distinguish among the various types of LPI modulations.

Benchmarking and Analysis of the SRC-6E Reconfigurable Computing System
Manufacturer: Storming Media ProductGroup: Book Binding: Spiral-bound ASIN: 1423513592 |
Product Description
This is a NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL MONTEREY CA report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A755024. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: This thesis evaluates the usefulness of the SRC-6E re- configurable computing system for a radar signal processing application and documents the process of creating and importing VHDL code to configure the user definable logic on the SRC-6E. A false-target radar-imaging algorithm was chosen and implemented on the SRC-6E. Data from alternative computational approaches to the same problem are compared to determine the effectiveness of SRC-6E solution. The results show that the implementation of the algorithm does not provide an effective solution when executed on the SRC-6E. An evaluation of the SRC-6E difficulty of use is conducted, including a discussion of required skills, experience and development times. The algorithm test code and collected data are included as appendices.

Glen Canyon: Images of a Lost World
Tad Nichols Manufacturer: Museum of New Mexico Pr ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0890133301 |
Amazon.com
In the early 1960s the federal government announced a plan to control the Colorado River by building a series of hydroelectric dams. The plan set off a storm of protest. The Sierra Club filed a lawsuit, arguing that one of those dams, to be built at the entrance to the Grand Canyon, would mean the destruction of Glen Canyon, a jewel-like oasis, one of the most beautiful natural wonders of the desert Southwest. But the lawsuit failed, and the dam was built, resulting in the formation of 200-mile-long Lake Powell, one of the largest artificial bodies of water on the planet--and in the inundation of Glen Canyon, which environmentalists called "the place no one knew."Photographer and filmmaker Tad Nichols did know Glen Canyon, so well that many of the area's place names are the ones that he and his fellow explorers and friends gave them. In this stunning book of documentary photography, Nichols takes readers on a voyage down the Colorado River, traversing stone labyrinths, wild rapids, and narrow beaches. Accompanied by entries from his travel journals of the 1950s and early '60s, his photographs show us just how much was lost when Glen Canyon receded beneath Lake Powell's waters--and what we stand to regain if, as advocates hope, Glen Canyon Dam is dismantled and the Colorado River is allowed to flow freely once again. --Gregory McNamee
Book Description
In 1963, as the gates closed on Glen Canyon Dam, Lake Powell began to inundate this mysterious landscape. Two photographers would record its wonders-Eliot Porter, who made the Glen famous in The Place No One Knew, and Tad Nichols, the man who first led Porter through the canyon. In more than thirty river trips beginning in the early 1950's, Nichols created thousands of images of the place that gave birth to the modern environmental movement. Glen Canyon: Images of a Lost World is a stunning photographic memoir and the work of one of the West's finest nature photographers. Featuring 164 duotone plates, journal writings, and the photographer's recollections today of a world that lives again in these exceptional images.Customer Reviews:
