Book Synopsis Celebrity in the 21st Century by : Larry Z. Leslie
Download or read book Celebrity in the 21st Century written by Larry Z. Leslie and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-01-12 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a critical look at celebrity and celebrities throughout history, emphasizing the development of celebrity as a concept, its relevance to individuals, and the role of the public and celebrities in popular culture. Tabloid magazines, television shows, and Internet sites inundate us with daily updates about movie stars, musicians, athletes, and even those who have achieved celebrity status simply for being rich and extravagant. Disturbingly, it appears that the harder our celebrities fall, the more fascinating they are to us. As popular culture becomes more influential, it is important to understand both the positive and negative aspects of celebrity. This volume traces the development of the concept of celebrity, discusses some of the problems facing both celebrities and their followers, and points to future trends and developments in our cultural understanding of celebrity. The author's treatment is unflinchingly honest, revealing the importance of the public's role in celebrities' lives and establishing firm criteria for determining who is a celebrity—and who is not.
Book Synopsis College Admissions for the 21st Century by : Robert J. Sternberg
Download or read book College Admissions for the 21st Century written by Robert J. Sternberg and published by Harvard University Press. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: SATs, ACTs, GPAs. Everyone knows that these scores can’t tell a college everything that’s important about an applicant. But what else should admissions officers look for, and how can they know it when they see it? In College Admissions for the 21st Century a leading researcher on intelligence and creativity offers a bold and practical approach to college admissions testing. Standardized tests are measures of memory and analytical skills. But the ever-changing global society beyond a college campus needs more than just those qualities, argues Robert Sternberg. Tomorrow’s leaders and citizens also need creativity, practicality, and wisdom. How can the potential for those complex qualities be measured? One answer is “Kaleidoscope,” a new initiative in undergraduate admissions, first used at Tufts University. Its open-ended questions for applicants, and the means used to score the answers, gives applicants and admissions officers the chance to go beyond standardized tests. Does it work? As Sternberg describes in detail, Kaleidoscope measures predicted first-year academic success, over and above SATs and high school GPAs, and predicted first-year extracurricular activities, leadership, and active citizenship as well. And every year that Kaleidoscope measures were used, the entering class’s average SATs and high school GPAs went up too. What worked at Tufts can work elsewhere. New kinds of assessments, like Kaleidoscope, can liberate many colleges and students from the narrowness of standardized tests and inspire new approaches to teaching for new kinds of talented, motivated citizens of the world.
Book Synopsis Remaking Culture and Music Spaces by : Ian Woodward
Download or read book Remaking Culture and Music Spaces written by Ian Woodward and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-11-18 with total page 283 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection analyses the remaking of culture and music spaces during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Its central focus is how cultural producers negotiated radically disrupted and uncertain conditions by creating, designing, and curating new objects and events, and through making alternative combinations of practices and spaces. By examining contexts and practices of remaking culture and music, it goes beyond being a chronicle of how the pandemic disrupted cultural life and livelihoods. The book also raises crucial questions about the forms and dynamics of post-pandemic spaces of culture and music. Main themes include the affective and embodied dimensions that shape the experience, organisation, and representation of cultural and musical activity; the restructuring of industries and practices of work and cultural production; the transformation of spaces of cultural expression and community; and the uncertainty and resilience of future culture and music. This collection will be instrumental for researchers, practitioners, and students studying the spatial, material, and affective dimensions of cultural production in the fields of cultural sociology, cultural and creative industries research, festival and event studies, and music studies. Its interdisciplinary nature makes it beneficial reading for anyone interested in what has happened to culture and music during the global pandemic and beyond.
Book Synopsis God’S Set-Apart People by : Mike Morra
Download or read book God’S Set-Apart People written by Mike Morra and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2014-05-21 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the origin and expansion of the Judeo/Christian belief. The neo/technologies and ideo/evolution facing the 21st century have set the stage for a revised current and relevant history of the moral and intellectual journeys of the human species. These were Eras that became the spiritual, theological, and ideational marvels of enlightenment that occurred over millennia, always set within the context of Divine freedom. This reworked history can be best told in two parts. Part I tells us that God chose to make use of set-apart people to accomplish His Divine plan for Planet Earth; first, as Ancient Hebrews, then as Caucasian Alpha-Males, and finally as Evangelical Christians. Part II of this unique account involved all about Jesus, the incarnate God, sent by the Father to help humanity understand His nature and intentions. Jesus became the visible expression of the invisible Deity. Accordingly, set-apart people were needed: (a) to counteract the all-encompassing, moral depravity of the Ancient World; (b) to set up the means of worship that pleases, not offends, Gods essential righteosness; and (c) to reveal the organic, scientific and mathematical truths of our physical reality. In Part II, Jesus becomes the focus of salvation, sanctification, resurrection, and eternal glorification for each soul. Thus, Gods Intelligent Design of Planet Earth

Book Synopsis Religious Politics Plaguing the 21St Century by : Mike Morra
Download or read book Religious Politics Plaguing the 21St Century written by Mike Morra and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-07-31 with total page 325 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about evil. To assume that all heinous crime is committed by the mentally ill is a 20th century myth, not unlike the Medieval myth that alleged that sin causes physical disease. Most all heinous crime, as in the Tucson massacre, the Islamic bombings, and the urban murder rate, are caused by the evil possessed, not the emotionally unstable. In the Biblical account, Mark 5:1-20, Jesus handled the issue of the evil possessed, as compared and contrasted to the mentally ill. During the first half of the 20th century, 100 million, innocent men, women, and children were executed, slaughtered, and murdered en masse, by the godless leaderships of Euro/Asia. These dictators were atheists, not mentally deranged. By choice, they became obsessed with the forcefield of socio/political wickedness. Accordingly, the 21st century state of mind finds itself dealing with the immorality of the lunacy of evil as a spiritual reality, not rationalizing it away with 20th centurys psychobabble of alleged, societal injustice.
Book Synopsis Housing for the 21st Century by : Carlo Aiello
Download or read book Housing for the 21st Century written by Carlo Aiello and published by eVolo Press. This book was released on 2011-01-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Housing for the 21st Century is a collaboration between thinkers from diverse fields attempting to understand our current habitation necessities; an exploration of where we are and where are we heading. We start off with the analysis of the economic, social, and architectural causes and consequences of the largest and fastest migration event of human history; the exodus from rural to urban China. Opinion is a collection of essays on the broad topic of housing, reaching broadly, from discussions about the use of new technologies, ecology, and global warming, to the transformation of a house into another member of a family. This section also includes a reflection on the legacy of Frank Lloyd Wright and his architectural sensibility to make house and context one single entity. In this section you will also find critiques on some of the most forward-looking housing projects designed by world-class firms such as Steven Holl Architects, Asymptote Architecture, Herzog & de Meuron, Bjarke Ingels Group, and Office for Metropolitan Architecture. Central to this issue are the winning projects of the Housing Competition organized by eVolo, which consists of twenty proposals that, through the use of new materials, technology, novel spatial organizations, and combinations of programs, present a glimpse of the possible world to come. You will find examples of underground housing, the regeneration of existing neighborhoods, the exploration of new aesthetics from mathematical algorithms, and the studies of biogenetic materials used for environmentally responsive claddings.
