Book Synopsis The Day of the Dead by : Déborah Holtz
Download or read book The Day of the Dead written by Déborah Holtz and published by Rizzoli International Publications. This book was released on 2024-09-17 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A tribute to Mexico’s most important holiday, this extraordinary and definitive volume documents the immense creativity displayed by this popular annual celebration. While there have been other books about the Day of the Dead, most are long out of print and aridly academic. This book features both exceptional “traditional” Indigenous material—such as vibrant folk art and crafts, flamboyant costumes and masks, special food and drink—but also a much more funky, modern approach that blends lively music and dance, colorful parades, cutting-edge contemporary street art, and a festive atmosphere that engages all of the senses with handmade altars, flowers, painted skulls, toys, paintings, murals, and other art objects. Featuring hundreds of specially commissioned photographs and voluminous in-depth research, the book is lavishly illustrated and designed with an aesthetic that draws on both traditional material as well as Mexico’s contemporary street art style. Blending visual elements inspired by the country’s pre-Hispanic heritage, European influences, and modern art trends, the book explores the evolution of the Day of the Dead and the special role it plays. This book is the definitive, authentic resource for all things Day of the Dead.

Book Synopsis Pre-Columbian Foodways by : John Staller
Download or read book Pre-Columbian Foodways written by John Staller and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2009-11-24 with total page 691 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The significance of food and feasting to Pre-Columbian Mesoamerican cultures has been extensively studied by archaeologists, anthropologists and art historians. Foodways studies have been critical to our understanding of early agriculture, political economies, and the domestication and management of plants and animals. Scholars from diverse fields have explored the symbolic complexity of food and its preparation, as well as the social importance of feasting in contemporary and historical societies. This book unites these disciplinary perspectives — from the social and biological sciences to art history and epigraphy — creating a work comprehensive in scope, which reveals our increasing understanding of the various roles of foods and cuisines in Mesoamerican cultures. The volume is organized thematically into three sections. Part 1 gives an overview of food and feasting practices as well as ancient economies in Mesoamerica. Part 2 details ethnographic, epigraphic and isotopic evidence of these practices. Finally, Part 3 presents the metaphoric value of food in Mesoamerican symbolism, ritual, and mythology. The resulting volume provides a thorough, interdisciplinary resource for understanding, food, feasting, and cultural practices in Mesoamerica.

Book Synopsis Applied Biomechatronics Using Mathematical Models by : Jorge Garza Ulloa
Download or read book Applied Biomechatronics Using Mathematical Models written by Jorge Garza Ulloa and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2018-06-16 with total page 664 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Applied Biomechatronics Using Mathematical Models provides an appropriate methodology to detect and measure diseases and injuries relating to human kinematics and kinetics. It features mathematical models that, when applied to engineering principles and techniques in the medical field, can be used in assistive devices that work with bodily signals. The use of data in the kinematics and kinetics analysis of the human body, including musculoskeletal kinetics and joints and their relationship to the central nervous system (CNS) is covered, helping users understand how the complex network of symbiotic systems in the skeletal and muscular system work together to allow movement controlled by the CNS. With the use of appropriate electronic sensors at specific areas connected to bio-instruments, we can obtain enough information to create a mathematical model for assistive devices by analyzing the kinematics and kinetics of the human body. The mathematical models developed in this book can provide more effective devices for use in aiding and improving the function of the body in relation to a variety of injuries and diseases. - Focuses on the mathematical modeling of human kinematics and kinetics - Teaches users how to obtain faster results with these mathematical models - Includes a companion website with additional content that presents MATLAB examples

Download or read book A Call to Teach written by Torin Finser and published by . This book was released on 2020-10 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The vocation of teaching has been under considerable pressure over the last several decades. Unions would push teachers to count hours and demand breaks and benefits, while every teacher's heart knows that students need attention that is difficult to count in hours or wages. Standardized tests and demands to prove their competence make teachers relinquish their own knowledge of the mysteries of child development and the need for compassion and grace. Torin Finser uses his decades of knowledge of teaching both children and aspiring teachers, and adults in many walks of life to describe full-heartedly how important the preparation of teachers is and how rich the possibilities for teachers to influence the coming generation. He thrills with the future teachers hold in potential through their teaching. This is a book worth reading and then considering, for everyone, not only for teachers or those wishing to become teachers. Our young carry the promise of the coming days, and how we speak to them, love them, teach them now, holds the future. Very few books deeply describe the importance of teacher preparation. This is a golden contribution to that library of insightful contemplation of this all important, and future-bearing calling - the call to teach!
