The Visual Language of Comics Introduction to the Structure and Cognition of Sequential Images.【電子書籍】[ Dr Neil Cohn ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Drawings and sequential images are an integral part of human expression dating back at least as far as cave paintings, and in contemporary society appear most prominently in comics. Despite this fundamental part of human identity, little work has explored the comprehension and cognitive underpinnings of visual narratives-until now.</p> <p>This work presents a provocative theory: that drawings and sequential images are structured the same as language. Building on contemporary theories from linguistics and cognitive psychology, it argues that comics are written in a <em>visual language</em> of sequential images that combines with text. Like spoken and signed languages, visual narratives use a lexicon of systematic patterns stored in memory, strategies for combining these patterns into meaningful units, and a hierarchic grammar governing the combination of sequential images into coherent expressions. Filled with examples and illustrations, this book details each of these levels of structure, explains how cross-cultural differences arise in diverse visual languages of the world, and describes what the newest neuroscience research reveals about the brain's comprehension of visual narratives. From this emerges the foundation for a new line of research within the linguistic and cognitive sciences, raising intriguing questions about the connections between language and the diversity of humans' expressive behaviours in the mind and brain.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Spreading Wings A Sequential Novel. the Evolution of Crooked Wings.【電子書籍】[ Nada Clyne ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In Lourdes, on the holy feast day of Assumption, the body of a dead child lies in a pool of blood in front of the statue of the Virgin. Around her stand those who have come to love her, not just as a child, but as a gifted soul, trapped in a disabled body. Their grief at her loss merges with the love that she has awoken in them. Though she is gone, the love that they feel in her presence, grows stronger. Her body returns to the convent of the nuns who came to regard her as their own saint, but at the moment when they are ready to bury her, she lets them know that she is very much still with them. What follows is the evolution of a relationship that began when seekers from different paths converged on a chteau in Entre Deux Mers, South Western France, and discovered this child held the key to their destiny. What began in "Crooked Wings" now takes flight and like birds losing their fledgling plumage, they learn to spread their wings.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Sequential Harmony Of The Gospels【電子書籍】[ Bruce A. Wilkinson ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This work presents the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in sequential harmony with each other. All of the Scripture quoted has been taken directly from the Authorized King James Bible. The idea of presenting the gospels in harmony is not a new concept, but dates back to the middle of the second century A.D. The Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke are referred to as the Synoptic Gospels because they contain such similar content, whereas the Gospel of John tends to stand by itself. 30% of the book of Matthew represents original content not found in the other three. The book of Mark contains 8%, the book of Luke contains 50%, and 92% of the book of John is found to be original. The benefits of viewing the four Gospels in layers so as to expose the distinctive elements of each book are very apparent, for no one book relates the full story on its own. Like Tyndale's concept of the “Peoples Bible”, this work is meant for use as a devotional by the common person. It has not been written with a collection of notes or commentary embedded within the text, but contains pure scripture presented in sequential order, that allows the reader to view the Gospels as one continuing story. This harmony also presents a short synopsis of biblical hermeneutics written from a dispensational, pretribulational point of view to give any student of the Bible a basic understanding of biblical interpretation. It is my prayer that, beside your Bible, this work will give you a more complete understanding of the life of Christ, and will draw you into a closer relationship with the Lord.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Blacker the Ink Constructions of Black Identity in Comics and Sequential Art【電子書籍】[ Frances Gateward ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Winner of the 2016 Will Eisner Comic Industry Award for Best Academic/Scholarly Work<br /> Winner of the 2016 Ray and Pat Browne Award for Best Edited Collection in Popular Culture and American Culture by the Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association<br /> Winner of the 2016 PEN Oakland-Josephine Miles Award for Excellence in Literature</strong></p> <p>When many think of comic books the first thing that comes to mind are caped crusaders and spandex-wearing super-heroes. Perhaps, inevitably, these images are of white men (and more rarely, women). It was not until the 1970s that African American superheroes such as Luke Cage, Blade, and others emerged. But as this exciting new collection reveals, these superhero comics are only one small component in a wealth of representations of black characters within comic strips, comic books, and graphic novels over the past century.</p> <p><em>The Blacker the Ink</em> is the first book to explore not only the diverse range of black characters in comics, but also the multitude of ways that black artists, writers, and publishers have made a mark on the industry. Organized thematically into “panels” in tribute to sequential art published in the funny pages of newspapers, the fifteen original essays take us on a journey that reaches from the African American newspaper comics of the 1930s to the Francophone graphic novels of the 2000s. Even as it demonstrates the wide spectrum of images of African Americans in comics and sequential art, the collection also identifies common character types and themes running through everything from the strip <em>The Boondocks</em> to the graphic novel <em>Nat Turner</em>.</p> <p>Though it does not shy away from examining the legacy of racial stereotypes in comics and racial biases in the industry, <em>The Blacker the Ink</em> also offers inspiring stories of trailblazing African American artists and writers. Whether you are a diehard comic book fan or a casual reader of the funny pages, these essays will give you a new appreciation for how black characters and creators have brought a vibrant splash of color to the world of comics.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Talking Collective Action A Sequential Analysis of Strategic Planning in Anti-Nuclear Groups【電子書籍】[ Ole P?tz ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>An ethnographic study of anti-nuclear movement groups that both challenges assumptions of traditional social movement studies of strategic action and shows what can be gained through microanalysis of talk in meetings, this book advances social movement studies methodologically and theoretically through the application of a new method of sequential analysis. Drawing on both conversation analysis and objective hermeneutics, it builds on microanalysis to scale up from sequences of talk to meetings, from meetings to groups, and from groups to the anti-nuclear movement, thus addressing a common criticism of analyses of face-to-face interactions: that they fail to demonstrate how their findings are relevant for questions beyond the interaction itself and thus for a broader sociological audience. A demonstration of the ways in which strategic deliberations by activists are subject to dynamics of face-to-face interaction, <em>Talking Collective Action</em> shows how groups adopt different styles of planning to engage with their environment and affect the groups’ development over time. As such, it will appeal to social scientists with interests in social movements, organizations and conversation analysis.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Sequential Experimentation in Clinical Trials Design and Analysis【電子書籍】[ Jay Bartroff ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><em>Sequential Experimentation in Clinical Trials: Design and Analysis</em> is developed from decades of work in research groups, statistical pedagogy, and workshop participation. Different parts of the book can be used for short courses on clinical trials, translational medical research, and sequential experimentation. The authors have successfully used the book to teach innovative clinical trial designs and statistical methods for Statistics Ph.D. students at Stanford University. There are additional online supplements for the book that include chapter-specific exercises and information.</p> <p><em>Sequential Experimentation in Clinical Trials: Design and Analysis</em> covers the much broader subject of sequential experimentation that includes group sequential and adaptive designs of Phase II and III clinical trials, which have attracted much attention in the past three decades. In particular, the broad scope of design and analysis problems in sequential experimentation clearly requires a wide range of statistical methods and models from nonlinear regression analysis, experimental design, dynamic programming, survival analysis, resampling, and likelihood and Bayesian inference. The background material in these building blocks is summarized in Chapter 2 and Chapter 3 and certain sections in Chapter 6 and Chapter 7. Besides group sequential tests and adaptive designs, the book also introduces sequential change-point detection methods in Chapter 5 in connection with pharmacovigilance and public health surveillance. Together with dynamic programming and approximate dynamic programming in Chapter 3, the book therefore covers all basic topics for a graduate course in sequential analysis designs.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Ex-Offender's Quick Job Hunting Guide The 10 Sequential Steps to Re-Entry Success【電子書籍】[ Ronald Louis Krannich ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The most widely used ex-offender job search and re-entry resource, this user-friendly workbook implements the latest edition of "The Ex-Offender’s New Job Finding and Survival Guide." It’s designed to assist the nearly 700,000 ex-offenders who are released into the Free World as well as over 11 million others who circulate in and out of prisons, jails, and detention centers each year. Make no mistake ? life can be hard for offenders living inside or outside a cage. Re-entry is especially hard for those who have lost everything, including precious hope and optimism, and who lack job search smarts and digital skills. Without a decent job and support network to help meet immediate food, housing, transportation, and health care needs, and often saddled with onerous financial obligations (fines, restitution, child support payments, accumulated debts), many ex-offenders fall back on old dysfunctional habits, relationships, and temptations that lead them back to depressing correctional institutions. While many employers may not want to hire someone with a criminal record, others are willing to give ex-offenders a second chance. Knowing this, what should ex-offenders do in order to land a good job? Where can they best find a job they do well and enjoy doing? What job search strategies work best for them? This ground-breaking workbook provides important answers to many re-entry employment questions facing ex-offenders. Beginning with an assessment of one’s job search information, skills, and strategies, users address such critical issues as asking questions, taking responsibility, telling the truth, and becoming trustworthy before examining each of 10 sequential steps to job and re-entry success: 1. Examine and change your attitudes 2. Seek assistance and become proactive 3. Select appropriate job search approaches 4. Assess your skills and identify your motivated skills and abilities (MAS) 5. State a powerful objective 6. Conduct research on jobs, employers, and communities 7. Write effective resumes and letters 8. Network for information, advice, and referrals 9. Develop winning job interview skills 10. Negotiate salary and benefits like a pro. The workbook also includes two special chapters ? (1) developing an action plan for re-entry success, and (2) navigating today’s new digital world. Rich in insights and filled with practical examples, exercises, self-tests, and resources, here's the workbook that can make a big difference in the lives of ex-offenders. It shows them how to contact employers who will want to hire them because of their unique talents, positive attitudes, and strong employer-centered motivations.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

All of Us With Our Pointless Worries and Inconsequential Dramas【電子書籍】[ Garry Crystal ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>These stories are for anyone who has ever felt they were an outsider, marching to the beat of their own drum and trying to discover some reality hidden within the clich? of modern life, love and work.</strong></p> <p>From the author of <strong>Leaving London</strong></p> <p><strong>For mature readers. Includes The Paris Quartet: Short Stories For the End of the World</strong></p> <p>This is your life and you may just recognize yourself within these seventeen short stories and six plays.</p> <p>If you've ever been in a less than perfect relationship, been trapped in a meaningless job, have found yourself drunk, lost and alone in a new city on Christmas Eve or have simply spent years trying to escape from a situation of your own making then you may just find some comfort within these pages.</p> <p>Contemporary stories of doomed love affairs, cheating spouses and new beginnings in cities such as Paris, New York and London. A family dinner party where the elephant in the room threatens to reveal itself, girlfriends who leave, boyfriends who can't commit and a reclusive anti-hero fighting a corporate giant all make an appearance within this collection of gritty and darkly humorous short stories.<br /> -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /> <strong>Reviews</strong></p> <p>This is a wonderful collection of short stories (and plays) which mine deeply emotional and personal territory, which is one of Crystal's major strengths as a writer. All of these stories are deeply relatable and hyper-realistic ? you either know these characters or perhaps you have found yourself in these very same situations. Each of them leaves the reader with much more than what is on the surface ? ala Ernest Hemingway and/or Raymond Carver ? and will have you thinking about them long after you finish reading them. - <strong>Julian Gallo, author of Breathe</strong></p> <p>Garry Crystal's title for his collection of short stories and one scene plays aptly summarizes a dominant theme at the same time that it seems to dismiss the content as near meaningless. Most of these narratives depict the all too common scene for thirty-something people in the big city; struggles at recovery from ruined relationships, lapses into sloth, alcohol, drugs, casual, sometimes barely civil, sexual encounters and, of course, depression that blankets these scenes of urban discontent like a grey, palpable fog. For all this, I could not dismiss as dreary cliche' this highly entertaining and thought provoking collection. It was fun to read and at some points, downright intriguing.</p> <p>Dark humor and a conversational first person narrator style preserve the several stories of an alienated young urban male from triteness. Situations that, if our jaded narrator did not so masterfully depict them, might be all too familiar for interest. In "The Conversationalists", for example, he endures a mercifully short relationship with the beautiful, but totally self-absorbed Serena. It's the artful recreation of a scene that this reader and, I'm sure, many others have encountered in real life. The difference being that most of us do not in our suffering of a "me personality" interlocutor turn the encounter into a lively and entertaining short story.</p> <p>This collection has much to offer to readers from a broad band of tastes who enjoy good story telling. For readers prone to induced anxiety and depressed moods these stories could pose a hazard. Those who enjoy nuanced meaning and dark ambiguities delivered by way of succinct narration and lively dialogue, these stories are the right stuff. - <strong>Online Book Club Organization</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

A Consequentialist Defense of Libertarianism【電子書籍】[ Richard Fumerton ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In A Consequentialist Defense of Libertarianism, Richard Fumerton argues that empirical facts concerning consequences must always play a crucial role in a plausible defense of freedom. After making distinctions between morality and law, he defends the view that it is a fundamental mistake to think that the law should always, or even usually, attempt to mirror morality. With this framework in place, Fumerton addresses various controversial questions concerning when the law ought to side with freedom. He offers a nuanced defense of several positions shared by many "moderate" libertarians.<br /> This consequentialist defense of freedom offers a fresh perspective on some very old philosophical debates. As more people become frustrated with a perceived lack of principled attempts by established political parties to appreciate important concerns people have involving their desire for freedom, the issues discussed in this book are particularly timely.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

From Value to Rightness Consequentialism, Action-Guidance, and the Perspective-Dependence of Moral Duties【電子書籍】[ Vuko Andri? ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book develops an original version of act-consequentialism. It argues that act-consequentialists should adopt a subjective criterion of rightness.</p> <p>The book develops new arguments which strongly suggest that, according to the best version of act-consequentialism, the rightness of actions depends on expected rather than actual value. Its findings go beyond the debate about consequentialism and touch on important debates in normative ethics and metaethics. The distinction between criterion of rightness and decision procedures addresses how, why, and in which sense moral theories must be implemented by ordinary persons. The discussion of the rationales of "ought" implies "can" leads to the discovery of a hitherto overlooked moral principle, "ought" implies "evidence", which can be used to show that most prominent moral theories are false. Finally, in the context of discussing cases that are supposed to reveal intuitions that favour either objective or subjective consequentialism, the book argues that which cases are relevant for the discussion of objectivism and subjectivism depends on the type of moral theory we are concerned with (consequentialism, Kantianism, virtue ethics, etc.).</p> <p><em>From Value to Rightness</em> will be of interest to scholars and advanced students working in normative ethics and metaethics.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Facing Up to Scarcity The Logic and Limits of Nonconsequentialist Thought【電子書籍】[ Barbara H. Fried ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Facing Up to Scarcity offers a powerful critique of the nonconsequentialist approaches that have been dominant in Anglophone moral and political thought over the last fifty years. In these essays Barbara H. Fried examines the leading schools of contemporary nonconsequentialist thought, including Rawlsianism, Kantianism, libertarianism, and social contractarianism. In the realm of moral philosophy, she argues that nonconsequentialist theories grounded in the sanctity of "individual reasons" cannot solve the most important problems taken to be within their domain. Those problems, which arise from irreducible conflicts among legitimate (and often identical) individual interests, can be resolved only through large-scale interpersonal trade-offs of the sort that nonconsequentialism foundationally rejects. In addition to scrutinizing the internal logic of nonconsequentialist thought, Fried considers the disastrous social consequences when nonconsequentialist intuitions are allowed to drive public policy. In the realm of political philosophy, she looks at the treatment of distributive justice in leading nonconsequentialist theories. Here one can design distributive schemes roughly along the lines of the outcomes favoured--but those outcomes are not logically entailed by the normative premises from which they are ostensibly derived, and some are extraordinarily strained interpretations of those premises. Fried concludes, as a result, that contemporary nonconsequentialist political philosophy has to date relied on weak justifications for some very strong conclusions.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Nonsequential and Distributed Programming with Go Synchronization of Concurrent Processes: Communication - Cooperation - Competition【電子書籍】[ Christian Maurer ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>After a short chapter on basic aspects of software engineering and its realization in Go, this book introduces to nonsequential and distributed programming with Go. It systematically presents basic concepts for the synchronization and communication of concurrent processes. These include locks, semaphores, fairness and deadlocks, monitors, local and network-wide message passing, networks as graphs, network exploration, distributed depth and breadth first search, and the selection of a leader in networks. In order to make readers familiar with the concepts, the author always takes up the same classic examples. This makes learning easier, because the concepts presented can be compared more easily with the language resources.</p> <p>The algorithms are formulated in the Go programming language, which can be used to express numerous synchronization concepts. Due to its simple syntax, Go also offers the advantage that readers without prior knowledge can follow the basic concepts. The chapters on locks, semaphores, monitors and network-wide message passing also present some basic approaches to programming in C and Java. All source texts are available online.</p> <p>In the 4th edition of the textbook, which is aimed at students of computer science, some errors have been corrected, smaller extensions have been included and adjustments due to a change to Go have been made.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Messiah the Most Consequential War Ever Fought and the Christian Mistaken Perception of God The Biggest Mistake About Jesus Was Made by the Apostles and Is Made by Modern Christians【電子書籍】[ Robert Price ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>There are many places in the Bible where God is described as Love and Loving. There are also many places where God is described doing and saying things thar are cruel. Could the Bible be mistaken? Both the Old and New Testaments tell us that the crucifixion of Jesus was a a sacrifice to God to appease God's wrath. Could there be another reason. The truth in the Bible is golden. The correlations of science with Genesis are amazing. Did Isiah and other Jewish prophets have the same message that Jesus brought to the world.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Consequential Frontier Challenging the Privatization of Space【電子書籍】[ Peter Ward ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>"A lucid, bright and essential work of reporting, analysis and genuine care. Peter Ward has given us a new way to think about private endeavors in space. Superb."?</strong>ーRivka Galchen, author of <em>Little Labors</em></p> <p><strong>This in-depth work of reportage dares to ask what’s at stake in privatizing outer space</strong></p> <p>Earth is in troubleーso dramatically that we’re now scrambling to explore space for valuable resources and a home for permanent colonization. With the era of NASA’s dominance now behind us, the private sector is winning this new space race. But if humans and their private wealth have made such a mess of Earth, who can say we won’t do the same in space?</p> <p>In <em>The Consequential Frontier</em>, business and technology journalist Peter Ward is raising this vital question before it’s too late. Interviewing tech CEOs, inventors, scientists, lobbyists, politicians, and future civilian astronauts, Ward sheds light on a whole industry beyond headline-grabbing rocket billionaires like Bezos and Musk, and introduces the new generation of activists trying to keep it from rushing recklessly into the cosmos.</p> <p>With optimism for what humans might accomplish in space if we could leave our tendency toward deregulation, inequality, and environmental destruction behind, Ward shows just how much cooperation it will take to protect our universal resource and how beneficial it could be for all of us.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
