Geography of the Gaze: Urban and Rural Vision in Early Modern Europe

Book Description

Geography of the Gaze offers a new history and theory of how the way we look at things influences what we see. Focusing on Western Europe from the seventeenth to nineteenth centuries, Renzo Dubbini shows how developments in science, art, mapping, and visual epistemology affected the ways natural and artificial landscapes were perceived and portrayed.

He begins with the idea of the "view," explaining its role in the invention of landscape painting and in the definition of landscape as a cultural space. Among other topics, Dubbini explores how the descriptive and pictorial techniques used in mariners' charts, view-oriented atlases, military cartography, and garden design were linked to the proliferation of highly realistic paintings of landscapes and city scenes; how the "picturesque" system for defining and composing landscapes affected not just art but also archaeology and engineering; and how the ever-changing modern cityscapes inspired new ways of seeing and representing the urban scene in Impressionist painting, photography, and stereoscopy. A marvelous history of viewing, Geography of the Gaze will interest everyone from scientists to artists.

Lovely book about landscape and vision.......2002-05-14

This book is a real gem. It's history, and it explains better than anything I've read how people actually looked at things and perceived them in the sixteenth through early nineteenth centuries. In particular, Dubbini focuses on how the landscape was perceived and how it seemed to change as it became increasingly interrupted by towns and cities. He explains how "the glance" evolved in relation to the relative anonymity and isolation of city life. And he discusses how these changes in "looking" inevitably affected what was chosen to be painted and how it was accomplished. He also looks at how advances in mapmaking and new scientific technologies (including photography) have impacted the way we see. This is an invaluable book, and, considering that it is quite erudite, a pleasure to read. Unusual illustrations, too.

Book Description

The Rhinegold and The Valkyrie comprises Volume One of Russell's adaptation of the Ring cycle by German composer Richard Wagner. Woton has exhausted himself and his godly resources to have a mighty fortress built with the labor of the giants, Fasolt and Fafnir. But in his bargaining with them, he has promised the fair Freia, keeper of the golden apple tree whose fruit gives power and immortality to the gods. The giants come to collect their pay, and only Logé, the trickster god, can find something to offer the giants in exchange: the Rhinegold. The only problem is, Woton doesn't have the Rhinegoldyet!

Utterly disappointing piece of kitsch.......2006-11-08

The text is OK and the way the story is cut up in frames and assembled is competent, but the drawings are the work of a hack, often tacky and always styleless and garishly colored. The costumes and settings are totally lacking in imagination and carry no semantic weight. The attempts to create a visual equivalent for the musical leitmotifs of the operas are too literal and very much in the spirit of a mechanical translation from opera to comic book. An affront to connoisseurs of either opera or comics or both. Only valuable as a kitschy curiosity.

Fresh adaptation of a cool opera.......2005-05-23

Ring of the Nibelung is the first of two books that make up a very literal adaptation of Wagner's opera to comic book form. It may seem strange to adapt an opera (all sound in most forms of distribution) to an all visual medium, but in many cases the sets and the visual element were a huge part of opera. This is a very visual opera and the comic does it right.

The plot: Mermaids who guard a small piece of gold in the Rhine river pass the time by making fun of a Nibelung (a little dwarf type thing) who thinks they are hot. The gold they are guarding is very beautiful but also powerful if it can be forged into a ring. This ring would give who ever wear's it the power to command the entire race of Nibelung. The catch is the ring must be made by someone who has given up love forever. Love isn't doing the Nibelung much good, since he is not at all good to look at and so he ends up making the ring. From then on everyone wants the ring. It passes hands again and again and always in bad circumstances.

Despite questionable material (all of it comes from Wagner) this is an excellent comic for school libraries. It is a well done adaptation that could spark interest in the subject and is definitely very readable. There is also a short introductory section about techniques that were used in making the comic, that was interesting for me and would appeal to teens who are interested in drawing their own comics.

I highly recommend this adaptation. It keeps the detail from the opera, and the visual nature of a comic book says more than just words could. I finished this and I was like - where is book two? I want it now.

Buy This!!!.......2005-01-19

This is a coupling of the excellent graphic novel of The Ring.
Do yourself a real favor, and buy both parts-immediately.

There is something that hearing this monumental work only hints
at, and that is the graphic, ie. photorealism of the staged work
itself, a precursor to films. If you are new to The Ring, or are an old veteran, this, and other, graphic novelizations of
The Ring, will help bring it to stunning life.

Admirable Work!.......2004-09-22

P. Craig Russell has created a masterpiece of comic book out of a materpiece of Opera. A absolute delight in every opera fan's colelctions! (BTW, I love P. Craig Russell's other opera adaptions, but Ring of the Nibelung is the best by a mile)

Opera Manifests In New Form.......2003-05-11

The story of one of Wagner's timeless operas, adapted here into comic form. I do not know the original, but this version makes me wish to find out more. It is comprised of 4 parts collected into two books, corresponding to the original 4 operas, which were independant but held together in a loose confederation to make on complete whole.

The first quadrant, The Rhinegold, begins with the founding of the gods and the tree of life, before advancing to when the story begins, in the middle ages. A dwarf, Alberich, is spurned by a trio of mermaids and steals their precious Rhinegold in order to make a ring of power from it, with which he can rule the world. The scene changes to Voton, leader of the gods, admiring his newly built Valhalla. The price for this was his wife's sister, who gives life to the gods, and when the giants come for their payment, Voton attempts vainly to talk them out of it. Finally, an agreement is made; if the god can get Alberich's ring, they will exchange that for the girl. And so Voton and Loge the Trickster climb down into the depths of the earth, where the dwarves are held under cruel sway. They trick the new leader and steal his ring, along with a tiara of shapeshifting and all of his gold, but not before the ring is cursed to bring death upon whomever else wears it. Voton is mesmerised by the power, but finally convinced to give it up by the eldest spirit; immediately the ring brings death, when one giant kills his brother coveting it.

The Valkyrie begins with a hotblooded young man finding shelter from pursuers in a lonely house, telling of deeds done in misguided honor; his host gives him shelter in waiting for a duel on the morn. That night Siegmund and Sieglinde fall in love, the former taking the ancient sword and with it his host's wife. Fricka, goddess of marriage, demands that Voton avenge this, even though they are his children; finally his will is overcome and he demands that a Valkyrie give Siegmund defeat in battle. She defies him, but Voton steps in and lets him die. As her punishment Brunehilde is taken from godhood and locked on a cliff, to be wed by any hero to find her.

The mini-series is continued in Vol. 2.

Even such a long summation can barely do this dense and powerful opera justice. Rather than the standard practice of rewriting or removing speech in parts, nearly everything is kept, translated directly from the original words of Wagner. The translation itself is very nice, keeping an archaic and formal syntax, while remaining accessible to modern readers. It is similar to Shakespeare or any contemporary, high without pretnetion. While the music cannot be included, the songs remain, to be fleshed out instead by lush art. The parallel goes deeper, in fact; as mentioned in the introduction, where Wagner's music has its lietmotifs, quickly recognizable strains that pull the whole together, so does the art include its own repeated motifs.

The story is classic, and told as well as befits a master. The politics between the gods is as fierce or more than that between men, and between them battles and intrigue rage. No major point is left unexplored, nothing forgotten and left to the wayside. Each character introduced comes back to play at least once, most exiting only through death. So much goes on that it is dizzying to keep up, but the intention is never to leave the reader behind, so it isn't overly difficult to follow. Even the reintroductions that catch the reader up on the events of each previous part are handled deftly. The art is vivid and colorful, very detailed and realistically shaded and textured. At times it seems more like acrylic paint than simple color press. The scenery is well detailed, matched by the people, whose actions and expressions are each striking and individual. While characters are seen from many angles and perspectives, anatomy of each is still proper. The story is very visual and cinematic; some places are very dense and wordy, while sometimes pages go by with no words needed. The fights in particular flow this way, becoming very abstract, yet the action clearly laid out. Russel is very comfortable with his ability to tell a tale however it needs to be told, certainly.

Far Side.......2007-03-26

I love far side calendars. It's too bad Gary Larson doesn't do cartoons anymore. It was shipped promptly and came in pristine shape.

my kind of humor.......2007-02-26

i love this calendar. something a little different. lots of space to write in.

My Favorite Calendar/Appointment Keeper.......2007-02-06

Funny and irreverent. In other words, this product is perfect for the fans of Gary Larson. The desk calendar is spiral-bound, and has a single page devoted to each month - with one blank page opposite the month - which is devoted to notes. Afterward, there are successive pages for each day/week of a particular month (one week per page) where you can make entries for individual days..ie appointments, small notes, and/or special events. At the end of the calendar, there are several pages devoted to the next year with three months on each page (title of the month, only) and space underneath each month's title for minor notes related to that particular month. Afterward, there is a calendar of the next year on a single page, for reference. The last page is for jotting names and numbers on the front/back. Laced throughout the calendar are single page, color pictures of the famous/infamous cartoons - which fans of Gary Larson's work adore. The pros of this calendar are that it is lightweight and functional. It is easy to carry around with you. On the other hand, if you have a need for detailed, complicated notes, then you had better get a Dayrunner. The cons of this product are that it needs more space for notes throughout, and although I love Gary Larson's art, I'd rather have a few of these pages devoted to notes (with all due respect to the bears, lions, and other creatures immortalized within). Also, the area for names/numbers is too small. One page, front and back is not enough space for most of us. It would be nice if the product had three or four ring binders to insert/remove pages. However, despite these criticisms, I buy this calendar/desk companion every year. For those of us with a left of center wit, there's no substitute for Gary Larson in an "Office Space" world.

A fun way to stay organized.......2007-02-02

Gary Larson's brainchild is perhaps one of the greatest comedy creations of the 20th century. This calendar makes it easy to keep my events organized and yet also remain informal and put a smile on my face. I wish he was doing new strips.

Book Description

The lives and careers of Warner Brothers' screen legends Joan Blondell, Nancy Coleman, Bette Davis, Olivia de Havilland, Glenda Farrell, Kay Francis, Ruby Keeler, Andrea King, Priscilla Lane, Joan Leslie, Ida Lupino, Eleanor Parker, Ann Sheridan, Alexis Smith, and Jane Wyman are the topic of this book. Some achieved great success in film and other areas of show business, but others failed to get the breaks or became victims of the studio system's sometimes unpleasant brand of politics. The personal and professional obstacles that each actress encountered are here set out in detail, often with comments from the actresses who granted interviews with the author and from those people who knew them best on and off the movie set. A filmography is included for each of the fifteen.

Entertaining Look at Classic Leading Ladies.......2005-01-15

Daniel Bubbeo has written an entertaining and informative look at the classic actresses who made Warner Brothers. Bubbeo has an easy prose that invties the reader to learn about this wonderful time in cinema history. This is an invaluable book for anyone interested in classic films as well as the history of the Warner Bros. Studio.

Well- written and well-researched book on classic actresses.......2002-06-15

The book is well-written and well-researched. It presents entertaining chapters on 15 leading WB actresses from the 30s and 40s. I learned about stars I was previously not familiar with like Nancy Coleman. The book presents interesting information not previously published about many of these stars. I would have liked to see the chapters on each actress be somewhat longer. Some of the more interesting aspects of the actresses' lives could have been more fully developed, especially their private lives as opposed to their film careers. Instead, "snippets" are presented in some cases. I would have liked to see more about the lives of the stars in their later years. However, I understand that the publisher limited the length of the book.

Read it and Learn!.......2007-07-08

I bought this book because it was the first book I have seen that DID NOT promote a SYSTEM to beat the tables. I have used the techniques in the book and was using them even before I bought it. The techniques work - not all the time because NOTHING ever does - but they do work. Read this book and learn about what really happens at a roulette table and what you should be looking for. I think this book has a ton of knowledge to offer. If you are looking for a "system", please, give it up. Find books and teachers that offer knowledge and techniques to win - systems never do. Remember - everybody has a system but noboby is rich - interesting - hmmm.

R O U L E T T E......B O N A N Z A ,,,,THE .."ALMOST PERFECT".. ROULETTE.. BOOK!.......2006-01-14

Yes....or rather, no. This book will NOT teach you the ultimate system to win at roulette. Perhaps no book or other method will. Howewver, THIS BOOK DID GIVE ME SOME METHODS I HAD NVER HEARD OF BEFORE, (ONE IN PARTICULAR, THE 'SESAME STREET/GROUND COFFEE' METHOD), WHICH HAVE NADE NE MORE MONEY, ON A CONSISTENT BASIS, THAN ANY OTHER ROULETTE METHODS I HAVE FOUND ELSEWHERE. ONE DOES HAVE TO MASTER THE SOMETIMES DIFFICULT IDEA OF 'STOPPING WHILST ONE IS AHEAD'....ALWAYS GOOD ADVICE, ESPECIALLY IN GAMBLING. So, this book WON'T make you a multi-millionaire(ess)....but you can use the ideas presented TO WIN A BIT MORE THAN MOST PLAYERS DO....AND NOT JUST ONE TIME, BUT WITH ABOUT 80% CONSISTANCY.....I F...YOU STOP WHILST YOU ARE AHEAD! (In my own experience, at lest, anyway). i also found Mr. Ellison's book aninteresting read....with some very good advice, and also some
delightful humour! (Humour...see the advice he gives if outer-space aliens suddenly invade the casino you are playing at...whether it be an on-land casino, or one that is on-line!
(Chuckle : )

I am not that good at following other people's instructions,
unless they are very good, natural-born teachers. So, sadly,
Mr. Ellison's 4-point method was lost on me, though I tried
hard to understande it. However, he does mention three "quad"
bets to use together, They are illustrated...so even I could follow this! I did win a bit when I played these three together....so Mr. Elison DOES have something there!

There is a method in this book which I will call "The Sesame
Street Method", so as not to give it away. (The name of this method contains the name of one of the 'Sesame Street' Muppets!) And you'll recognize it, once you see it in the book. It could also be called "The GROUND Coffee-Drinker's Method"....(the emphasis on the word "GRIND" is another clue
as to its real name. (Buy the book! You'll recognize this method's real name almost instantly! THIS METHOD...AND/OR MY OWN VARIATIONS OF IT....HAVE MADE ME MORE MONEY, CONSISANTLY, IN ROULETTE THAN ANY OTHER METHOD, OVER TIME! READ ABOUT IT AND TRY IT!!!!!!! : ) Mr. Ellison did NOT invent this particular method....but it is the first time I have seen it
described -- obviously it is not as well known as the Martingale or the D'Lambert methods, (also covered in this book, as are all the other basics)....but it works MUCH better
than either of these well-known methods, and I am grateful to
Mr. Ellison for putting it in his book. With surprising modesty, (all the more so, because he has his own "quad" method to discuss in this book), Mr. Ellison calls this "Sesame-Street
Coffee" method, (by another name, of course) 'the only method that will really work." (!) This is NOT a method that Mr. Ellison has invented....but he does discuss it, though very few other books do, and I'm very, very happy that Mr. Ellison has made mention of it. Because I've now tried it -- and yes, it does work....eventually...MOST of the time. JOHN GOLLEHON, another favourite gambling author of mine, said it best, (to paraphrase): to really gamble well, do it JUST ONCE. Then take your profits, (no matter how small), and DON'T GAMBLE EVER AGAIN! Great advice, but, of course, no one follows it,
(myself included). For Human Greed is a great ally of all casino owners!

In sum, this book offers explainations of several other systems, besides the author's own original one. The aforesaid,
"Sesame-Street, Coffee-Lover's" method is, by any name, a pretty good system, all things considered. Mr. Ellison's own "quad" system certainly bears looking into as well. All in all, a very well-written, informative and witty book. Reading it, one can tell Mr. Elison takes the game of roulette seriously...but does not spend all of his time gambling. He plays, but is not overly greedy. A good example to players of roulette, and all other, casino games!

Ultimate Fluff!.......2004-12-16

This book and Ellison's magic "system" is not based on any scientific explanation. Author himself doesn't know how his own system works but he saw it working !! If you buy this book, you start losing money on it even before you start playing the roulette !

Excellent advice for roulette

did not help me.......2004-08-17

book is written in very interesting way, so you keep reading, it also has some nice examples, teaches caution, but I am not sure if it is practical. well at least with me all this tactic will apply only if your minimal bet per number equal minimal bet per table and bets on red, black or any other groups bet is equal to 5x minimal table bet. And at tables where minimal bet is 25 $ you need to sit at table with about 1500 in your pocket and ready to gamble all those.
bottomline, I can not regret the purchase, but I did not win money either. :)

Book Description

Over the last several decades, employers have increasingly replaced permanent employees with temporary workers and independent contractors to cut labor costs and enhance flexibility. Although commentators have focused largely on low-wage temporary work, the use of skilled contractors has also grown exponentially, especially in high-technology areas. Yet almost nothing is known about contracting or about the people who do it. This book seeks to break the silence.

Gurus, Hired Guns, and Warm Bodies tells the story of how the market for temporary professionals operates from the perspective of the contractors who do the work, the managers who employ them, the permanent employees who work beside them, and the staffing agencies who broker deals. Based on a year of field work in three staffing agencies, life histories with over seventy contractors and studies of workers in some of America's best known firms, the book dismantles the myths of temporary employment and offers instead a grounded description of how contracting works.

Engagingly written, it goes beyond rhetoric to examine why contractors leave permanent employment, why managers hire them, and how staffing agencies operate. Barley and Kunda paint a richly layered portrait of contract professionals. Readers learn how contractors find jobs, how agents negotiate, and what it is like to shoulder the risks of managing one's own "employability."

The authors illustrate how the reality of flexibility often differs substantially from its promise. Viewing the knowledge economy in terms of organizations and markets is not enough, Barley and Kunda conclude. Rather, occupational communities and networks of skilled experts are what grease the skids of the high-tech, "matrix economy" where firms become way stations in the flow of expertise.

Customer Reviews:

must have for forward thinkers.......2006-12-14

As a contractor, owner of a contracting firm, and publisher this book has found one of the best spots in my library: open, and on the desk. I use it, refer to it, and think it is an excellent book.

If you're a contractor, you'll find yourself nodding your head and realizing that this is a smart piece of work.

I think recruiters should read this book as well.

Highly Recommended !.......2005-02-24

Some years ago, during the height of the technology stock bubble, a book entitled "Free Agent Nation" made quite a splash by glorifying the phenomenon of independent contracting. Less famously and far less optimistically, a number of economists and anthropologists pointed to this trend as a grave sign of the decay of workers' position in American society. Stephen R. Barley and Gideon Kunda, the authors of this study, steer a careful, meticulously documented middle course. They examined the observable fact of independent contracting in the high technology industry from three viewpoints: the contractors, the headhunters and the client firms. They say that the contractor is a new, different kind of knowledge worker with a unique set of opportunities and constraints. The book is clearly written, based on apparently sound evidence and illustrated with carefully chosen anecdotes. We suggest that its primary appeal will be to academics and other students of labor market trends, but also recommend it to firms that hire contractors and to contractors themselves - both will benefit from the authors' analysis of their market.

"The Apprentice" starring Dilbert, produced by Margaret Mead.......2004-09-28

Ah the sweet life of a contract programmer... the big bucks, the independence, the freedom from corporate politics! Barley and Kunda are brilliant anthropologists who take you inside the reality of the contractor's life. You hear their stories, learn their secrets, and smell their nervous sweat. The authors' style is captured nicely by the title of the book. They're irreverent and on-target. They allow you to spy with them--mixing voyeur appeal with hard science. Imagine an episode of "The Apprentice" starring characters pulled from Dilbert, and produced by Margaret Mead. I laughed out loud and took notes. If you work with contractors, if you live with a contractor, if you hire contractors, and for sure if you are a contractor, you must get this book.
