Download or read book Animation written by Chris Pallant and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2021-01-01 with total page 417 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Animation: Critical and Primary Sources is a major multi-volume work of reference that brings together seminal writings on animation studies. Gathering historical and contemporary texts from a wide-ranging number of sources, the volumes provide a key resource in understanding and studying the past and future directions of animation studies. The four volumes thematically trace animation studies from its many definitions, or a lack thereof, to the institutional nature of animation production, to establishing greater space within animation discourse for the consideration of broadcast and interactive animation, and finally, giving greater contextual understanding of the field of animation studies, by focusing on 'Authorship', 'Genre', 'Identity Politics', and 'Spectatorship', thus enabling readers to engage more deeply with the ideas discussed in the final volume. Ordering the collection in this way avoids imposing an overly simplistic chronological framework, thereby allowing debates that have developed over years (and even decades) to stand side by side. Each volume is separately introduced and the essays structured into coherent sections on specific themes"--

Book excerpt: I really felt astonished by this little island, so close to Malaysia and Indonesia.As the neighboring countries seem to struggle against poverty, a relative under-development or corruption, Singapore is growing fast and succeeding. It is far more a dragon than it seems to be.There are high-rise buildings there and remote quarters with Indian, Chinese and Malay communities. There are also Westerns expats seeking money and glory. From the shopping malls to the exotic and tropical gardens, from one the most active ports in Asia to pristine bank headquarters, there is a common sense of being part of something that is growing and booming. It is a city throbbing with life, full of subjects, ideal for a photographer. This is the journey that I wanted to share with you through the photos in this album.

Download or read book Shades written by Stephanie Esther Fam and published by SHADES PUBLISHERS. This book was released on 2022 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It’s certainly common knowledge that different colours make up a rainbow. It is in a similar fashion that I believe it takes many different shades of colours to clearly define an individual from any one else. I am no exception to my very own analogy. At first glance, the public sees what is perhaps the most obvious shade of me that makes me the unique individual I am. They see me on a pushchair, they see my physical disability known as Cerebral Palsy. My eyes keenly watch. As she flies with carefree grace. Her beautiful wings flutter. As she goes from flower to flower. All of which bear magnificent beauty and colour. ~ Excerpt from Shades ~ Life with Cerebral Palsy has vastly limited my physicality, leaving me with minimum control of my limbs, hands and feet. This sole reason makes it understandable why strangers might sometimes view me as weak or fragile, and try to encourage me by telling me how brave I am to be stepping out into the world, with as much normalcy as possible despite obvious challenges. While I am thankful for their kind intentions, my one and only reply will always be that I’m not brave, I’m merely doing my best at living my life. These very words, perhaps, are the reason the other two shades I’m about to mention hold the key to the depths that encompass the core of my individuality… My knack for public speaking was discovered thanks to the Toastmasters International which provided me with opportunities and the freedom to discover and harness all related skills. Contrary to popular belief in today’s society, not every child’s talent or call is discovered at a young age, as was the case with my passion for public speaking. I started off as someone whom others found difficult to understand when I read aloud, and emerged as a woman who tugs at the heartstrings of others through my words. I wish for my experience to resonate with my readers and inspire them to endlessly work on their passion. It is in moments like these. That one can’t help but wonder why. Why does this world seem to be in a never-ending race? Is life nothing but a ridiculous paper chase? ~ Excerpt from Shades ~ The second of the other two shades that act as the catalyst for putting together this book is the fact that I’m a writer. My love affair with words started at the tender age of 10… I’m not certain if it was my physical circumstances or some other unseen force that sparked my interest in reading, but it didn’t take long for interest to morph into a kind of obsession. With time, it dawned on me that as much as the words from books told me of people, places and events they wanted to share with me, I too could do the same with my own words and much more. Although an obvious route of writing was to emulate what I loved the most, i.e. to write a novel of my own, I eventually found that I favoured and expressed myself best in poetry. Take a minute to step away from this madness. The shortness of life. Often unknown to our awareness. How long can fame and money last? Must the pursuit of happiness be such a tedious task? ~ Excerpt from Shades ~ With so much said, many who know of my flair for writing often ask where my inspiration for my poems lay. The truth is… I have no specific root for it but if I really have to pinpoint an answer, I would say my personal experiences, unspoken thoughts and unique views on societal norms are the cornerstones to my poems. As you come upon each poem in this book, I hope you get to see different shades of me as a writer, a woman and most of all, realize that ‘differences’ are nothing more than extras in the human experiences we all share. In the craziness of our lives. We must not forget Sometimes, it is the simplest things That make us smile. Such as watching a pretty butterfly! ~ Excerpt from Shades ~

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Smart cities are a fast-growing species, and a fascinating field for new experiments in a number of critical areas, ranging from urban planning, sustainable energy, and transport strategies to social integration and talent attraction, to name a few. As leaders and citizens around the world continue to assess, design, implement and improve on ways to create better cities, they often find themselves confronted with a multitude of decisions and a wide range of partial solutions to specific problems such as traffic congestion, waste management and crime. Unfortunately, they have precious few tools to enable them to define the strategies required and take advantage of the experience of other smart cities around the world. In such a context, metrics can play a significant and constructive role: by quantifying efforts and results, they increase the ability of decision-makers to identify where their priorities should lie as well as the relative merits of various approaches.
