Download or read book Cinema as Weather written by Kristi McKim and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-03-05 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do cinematic portrayals of the weather reflect and affect our experience of the world? While weatherly predictability and surprise can impact our daily experience, the history of cinema attests to the stylistic and narrative significance of snow, rain, wind, sunshine, clouds, and skies. Through analysis of films ranging from The Wizard of Oz to The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, from Citizen Kane to In the Mood for Love, Kristi McKim calls our attention to the ways that we read our atmospheres both within and beyond the movies. Building upon meteorological definitions of weather's dynamism and volatility, this book shows how film weather can reveal character interiority, accelerate plot development, inspire stylistic innovation, comprise a momentary attraction, convey the passage of time, and idealize the world at its greatest meaning-making capacity (unlike our weather, film weather always happens on time, whether for tumultuous, romantic, violent, suspenseful, or melodramatic ends). Akin to cinema's structuring of ephemera, cinematic weather suggests aesthetic control over what is fleeting, contingent, wildly environmental, and beyond human capacity to tame. This first book-length study of such a meteorological and cinematic affinity casts film weather as a means of artfully and mechanically conquering contingency through contingency, of taming weather through a medium itself ephemeral and enduring. Using film theory, history, formalist/phenomenological analysis, and eco-criticism, this book casts cinema as weather, insofar as our skies and screens become readable through our interpretation of changing phenomena.

Download or read book Doing Physics written by Martin H. Krieger and published by Indiana University Press. This book was released on 2012-11-19 with total page 247 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of Doing Mathematics explores the concepts of physics by demonstrating how physicists think and approach their work. Doing Physics makes concepts of physics easier to grasp by relating them to everyday knowledge. Addressing some of the models and metaphors that physicists use to explain the physical world, Martin H. Krieger describes the conceptual world of physics by means of analogies to economics, anthropology, theater, carpentry, mechanical systems, and machine tool design. Krieger explains the interaction of elementary particles by referring to the theory of kinship: who can marry whom is similar to what can interact with what. Likewise, the description of physical situations in terms of interdependent particles and fields is analogous to the design of a factory with its division of labor among specialists. For this new edition, Krieger has revised the text and added a chapter on the role of mathematics and formal models in physics. “Krieger . . . excellently tells those in our human society outside the physics world how physicists think, plan, and go about understanding nature.” —Choice

Book excerpt: Georgia Wright has never believed in fairy tales. That is, until Wyatt Gates walks into her life. But fate has other plans in mind for these two, and their early blossoming romance is over before it’s even begun. Ever since that day, Georgia is determined to live an untethered life. She’s never felt comfortable with the fact that she grew up with a trust fund when others had so little. Now she travels to places where she can help people in need and do her part to make the world a better place. It isn’t until seven years later, when the two meet again, that they get a second chance to get things right. Wyatt has never found it easy to trust. Ever since his mother passed away, he has a hard time opening up to anyone. Now the owner of a Pit Bull rescue called Cooper’s Place, he has slowly begun to turn his life around. When the last person he ever wants to see again, Georgia Wright, walks back into his life, the sparks they once shared are impossible to ignore and the walls he so carefully built around his world start to come crashing down. Will Georgia and Wyatt let the misunderstandings of their past keep them apart? Or will their attraction to one another lead these two passionate souls to finally find their happily ever after?

Book excerpt: The climate is changing at a rapid, unprecedented pace with some of the warmest years on record having occurred since 2001. Further, human-induced rapid environmental change (HIREC) – or the alteration of an organisms’ environment at a pace too rapid for organisms to track evolutionarily – is an increasing problem for many ecosystems and can lead to species declines if they fail to adapt quickly enough. Although much research has begun to focus on the effects of HIREC, few ecosystems are plagued by a single form of HIREC, particularly given the widespread effects of climate change. Therefore, a better understanding of the individual, additive, and/or synergistic effects of multiple forms of HIREC and how species may be able to plastically respond to modulate the effects will better inform management and conservation efforts under multiple stressors. We examined what habitat characteristics most affected temperature at the nest site. We then assessed to what extent the three sagebrush-obligate songbirds spanning a range of body sizes selected nest sites on the basis of temperature in an arid ecosystem in western Wyoming at two spatial scales. We further investigated whether a known nest predation-risk gradient and ambient conditions modulated temperature-based choices. The two smaller-bodied species, the Brewer’s Sparrow and the Sagebrush Sparrow, selected nest sites that were warmer and less variable relative what was available on average, whereas Sage Thrashers generally did not select nest sites on the basis of temperature. When ambient temperatures were higher during the nestsite prospecting period, however, both Brewer’s Sparrows and Sage Thrashers dampened selection for warmer nest sites in a context-dependent manner. None of the three species altered nest-site selection with respect to temperature in response to either temperature variability or our index of nest predation risk. Collectively, our results suggest that nest site selection may be one method by which birds are able to modulate temperature moving forward, albeit the degree to which this is possible will be dependent on the rate and extent of on-going climate change. This work highlights the importance of maintaining habitat heterogeneity across landscapes to maintain diverse microrefugia for organisms. Moreover, it is critical to prescribe species-specific management prescriptions whenever possible, as our results demonstrated that although sagebrush-obligate songbirds are often managed similarly, here we found species-specific patterns of nest-site selection. An important next step is to determine how temperature and habitat loss may work independently, additively, and/or synergistically to effect reproductive fitness metrics directly or indirectly. Songbirds may be able to further modulate temperature at the nest site via parental care during the incubation and nestling periods, but the extent to which this occurs is largely unknown. Given the outlook for extreme weather and increased variability, developing a more thorough understanding of how multiple stressors may affect fitness outcomes will allow managers to develop recommendations to benefits the physiological needs of avian species. This work thus far has demonstrated the importance of considerations at a species-specific level, and further research to determine if that pattern carries through to reproductive fitness outcomes is critical to better mitigate the potential effects of habitat loss and extreme weather moving forward.

Book excerpt: In The South's Best Butts, food writer and Southern gentleman, Matt Moore, waves away clouds of smoke to give barbecue-lovers a sneak peek into the kitchens and smokehouses of a handful of the Barbecue Belt's most revered pitmasters. He uncovers their tried-and-true techniques gleaned over hours, days, and years toiling by fire and spit, coaxing meltingly tender perfection from the humble pigthe foundation of Southern BBQ. More than a book of recipes, Matt explores how the marriage of meat, cooking method, and sauce varies from place to place based on history and culture, climate, available ingredients and wood, and always the closely-guarded, passed-down secrets followed like scripture. Because no meat plate is complete in the South without "all the fixin's" to round out the meal, Matt cues up patron-sanctioned recipes from every establishment he visits. One thing is for certainthis book will change the way you cook, smoke, grill, and eat, but be warned: Your own butt may suffer in the process.
