Book Synopsis Beyond the Neon Lights by : Hanchao Lu
Download or read book Beyond the Neon Lights written by Hanchao Lu and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2023-07-28 with total page 474 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How did ordinary people live through the extraordinary changes that have swept across modern China? How did peasants transform themselves into urbanites? How did the citizens of Shanghai cope with the epic upheavals—revolution, war, and again revolution—that shook their lives? Even after decades of scholarship devoted to modern Chinese history, our understanding of the daily lives of the common people of China remains sketchy and incomplete. In this carefully researched study, Hanchao Lu weaves rich documentary data with ethnographic surveys and interviews to reconstruct the fabric of everyday life in China's largest and most complex city in the first half of this century.
Book Synopsis Flickering Light by : Christoph Ribbat
Download or read book Flickering Light written by Christoph Ribbat and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Without neon, Las Vegas might still be a sleepy desert town in Nevada and Times Square merely another busy intersection in New York City. Transformed by the installation of these brightly colored signs, these destinations are now world-famous, representing the vibrant heart of popular culture. But for some, neon lighting represents the worst of commercialism. Energized by the conflicting love and hatred people have for neon, Flickering Light explores its technological and intellectual history, from the discovery of the noble gas in late nineteenth-century London to its fading popularity today. Christoph Ribbat follows writers, artists, and musicians—from cultural critic Theodor Adorno, British rock band the Verve, and artist Tracey Emin to Vladimir Nabokov, Langston Hughes, and American country singers—through the neon cities in Europe, America, and Asia, demonstrating how they turned these blinking lights and letters into metaphors of the modern era. He examines how gifted craftsmen carefully sculpted neon advertisements, introducing elegance to modern metropolises during neon’s heyday between the wars followed by its subsequent popularity in Las Vegas during the 1950s and '60s. Ribbat ends with a melancholy discussion of neon’s decline, describing how these glowing signs and installations came to be seen as dated and characteristic of run-down neighborhoods. From elaborate neon lighting displays to neglected diner signs with unlit letters, Flickering Light tells the engrossing story of how a glowing tube of gas took over the world—and faded almost as quickly as it arrived.

Download or read book The Nightfields written by Joanna Klink and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2020-07-07 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A WASHINGTON POST BEST POETRY COLLECTION OF 2020 A new collection from a poet whose books "are an amazing experience: harrowing, ravishing, essential, unstoppable" (Louise Glück) Joanna Klink's fifth book begins with poems of personal loss--a tree ripped out by a windstorm, a friendship broken off after decades, the nearing death of parents. Other poems take on the cost of not loving fully, or are written from bewilderment at the accumulation of losses and at the mercilessness of having, as one ages, to rule things out. There are elegies for friends, and a group of devotional poems. The Nightfields closes with thirty-one metaphysical poems inspired by the artist James Turrell's Roden Crater, an extinct volcano in Arizona that Turrell has been transforming into an observatory for the perception of time. The sequence unfolds as a series of revelations that begin in psychic fear and move gradually toward the possibility of infinitude and connection.

Book excerpt: "Neon: From Discovery to Modern Energy Applications" is a comprehensive exploration of Neon’s remarkable journey from its discovery in the late 19th century to its crucial role in today's most advanced technologies. Written by Ron Legarski, a leader in telecommunications and technology infrastructure, this book delves into the fascinating science and transformative applications of Neon across various industries, including semiconductors, nuclear fusion, cryogenics, and energy-efficient lighting. Starting with Neon’s discovery by Sir William Ramsay and Morris Travers, the book traces how this inert noble gas evolved from being a glowing feature of neon lights into a critical element in high-tech manufacturing and clean energy systems. Through detailed chapters, the book covers Neon’s role in plasma etching for semiconductor production, its use as a cryogenic coolant in superconducting systems, and its emerging applications in nuclear fusion as a plasma cooling agent. Ron Legarski provides a unique perspective, combining scientific insight with his extensive knowledge of technology infrastructure, gained through his work as President and CEO of SolveForce. The book not only explains the chemical and physical properties of Neon but also addresses the economic and environmental challenges facing its production and use. Additionally, it highlights Neon’s future potential in shaping industries such as quantum computing, advanced materials, and renewable energy. Whether you’re a scientist, engineer, or business leader, this book offers an in-depth understanding of how Neon plays an increasingly critical role in modern technologies. With engaging case studies, industry insights, and detailed technical explanations, "Neon: From Discovery to Modern Energy Applications" is the definitive guide to one of the most important elements driving technological innovation and sustainable energy solutions.

Then, applications of both active and passive sonars are explained in connection with bathythermographs, fathometers, tape recorders, fire control techniques, internal and external communications systems, maintenance actions, test methods and equipment, and safety precautions. Basic principles of sound and temperature effects on wave propagation are also discussed.

Book Synopsis Revolutionary Stagecraft by : Tarryn Li-Min Chun
Download or read book Revolutionary Stagecraft written by Tarryn Li-Min Chun and published by University of Michigan Press. This book was released on 2024-06-04 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Revolutionary Stagecraft draws on a rich corpus of literary, historical, and technical materials to reveal a deep entanglement among technological modernization, political agendas, and the performing arts in modern China. This unique approach to Chinese theater history combines a close look at plays themselves, performance practices, technical theater details, and behind-the-scenes debates over “how to” make theater amid the political upheavals of China’s 20th century. The book begins at a pivotal moment in the 1920s—when Chinese theater artists began to import, use, and write about modern stage equipment—and ends in the 1980s when China's scientific and technological boom began. By examining iconic plays and performances from the perspective of the stage technologies involved, Tarryn Li-Min Chun provides a fresh perspective on their composition and staging. The chapters include stories on the challenges of creating imitation neon, rigging up a makeshift revolving stage, and representing a nuclear bomb detonating onstage. In thinking about theater through technicity, the author mines well-studied materials such as dramatic texts and performance reviews for hidden technical details and brings to light a number of previously untapped sources such as technical journals and manuals; set design renderings, lighting plots, and prop schematics; and stage technology how-to guides for amateur thespians. This approach focuses on material stage technologies, situating these objects equally in relation to their technical potential, their human use, and the social, political, economic, and cultural forces that influence them. In each of its case studies, Revolutionary Stagecraft reveals the complex and at times surprising ways in which Chinese theater artists and technicians of the 20th century envisioned and enacted their own revolutions through the materiality of the theater apparatus.
