Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its first publication over twenty years ago, Images of Organization has become a classic in the canon of management literature. The book is based on a very simple premise—that all theories of organization and management are based on implicit images or metaphors that stretch our imagination in a way that can create powerful insights, but at the risk of distortion. Gareth Morgan provides a rich and comprehensive resource for exploring the complexity of modern organizations internationally, translating leading-edge theory into leading-edge practice.
Download or read book The Big Picture written by Garry Gilfoy and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012-01-06 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Built around the extraordinary stories of seven people who have been unwitting visitors to the spiritual world, The BIG Picture examines the themes of reincarnation, the relationship between karma and destiny, the divide between religion and spirituality, humanitys task in creation, and the emergence of a new Western spirituality to lead us into the next stage of the evolution of consciousness. In The BIG Picture, author Garry Gilfoy discloses his own spiritual experiences and also tells the stories of others, such as Joy, who was sent back from the realm of spirit without her husband after a horrific crash; Trish, who died numerous times before learning to visit her cosmic classroom at will; Helen, who relived a holocaust nightmare before her eyes opened onto ancient Egypt; and Keely, who was miraculously saved by a familiar figure, the Watcher. Gilfoy helps us contemplate deeper meanings and refocus the lens through which we view the world. The BIG Picture guides us to ponder unusual possibilities that can shift the point of reference for our earthly thoughts and deeds.

Download or read book Image Objects written by Jacob Gaboury and published by MIT Press. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How computer graphics transformed the computer from a calculating machine into an interactive medium, as seen through the histories of five technical objects. Most of us think of computer graphics as a relatively recent invention, enabling the spectacular visual effects and lifelike simulations we see in current films, television shows, and digital games. In fact, computer graphics have been around as long as the modern computer itself, and played a fundamental role in the development of our contemporary culture of computing. In Image Objects, Jacob Gaboury offers a prehistory of computer graphics through an examination of five technical objects--an algorithm, an interface, an object standard, a programming paradigm, and a hardware platform--arguing that computer graphics transformed the computer from a calculating machine into an interactive medium. Gaboury explores early efforts to produce an algorithmic solution for the calculation of object visibility; considers the history of the computer screen and the random-access memory that first made interactive images possible; examines the standardization of graphical objects through the Utah teapot, the most famous graphical model in the history of the field; reviews the graphical origins of the object-oriented programming paradigm; and, finally, considers the development of the graphics processing unit as the catalyst that enabled an explosion in graphical computing at the end of the twentieth century. The development of computer graphics, Gaboury argues, signals a change not only in the way we make images but also in the way we mediate our world through the computer--and how we have come to reimagine that world as computational.

Book excerpt: ANIMAL INSIGHTS features a system in which you focus on two different animals each week for a year to gain insights from these animals for more success and satisfaction in your life. You cut up and mix up the Animal Cards, which are printed four to a page, and remove the cards for the animals you feel the least affinity for, so you end up with 104 cards. Then, mix up the cards and draw two each week.Once you select your two Animal Cards for the week, think about them in various ways. The animals selected come from a list of well-known animals -- from crustaceans, insects, and fish to reptiles, birds, and mammals. You can draw on these qualities for success in your life, and some of these qualities may suggest changes you can make for more success.

Book Synopsis The Technical Image by : Horst Bredekamp
Download or read book The Technical Image written by Horst Bredekamp and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of images has been critical to the pursuit of science for centuries. This book explores, within an art historical framework how to comprehend images not as illustrative representations, but as productive agents and distinctive multi-layered elements of the epistemic process. If scientific images play a constructive role in shaping the findings and insights they illustrate, the representation of an observation in images, however mechanical, however detached from the individual researcher s choices their appearance may be, likewise becomes an instance of the style of a period, a mindset, a research collective, and a device. The Technical Image emerges from an institute in Germany, which has married art and historical analysis of technical images, and serves as a methodological reference and inspiration for visual representation in the sciences. The work opens with a series of methodological chapters that introduce a set of questions about representations in sciences and medicine, and the core of the work consists of historical case studies around specific images that in turn illustrate themes ranging from "objectivity and evidence" to "digital images." Within these case studies are also definitions and elaborations of selected terms that have in recent years become key concepts in the analysis of scientific imagery."

Book Synopsis Inadvertent Images by : Peter Geimer
Download or read book Inadvertent Images written by Peter Geimer and published by University of Chicago Press. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As an artistic medium, photography is uniquely subject to accidents, or disruptions, that can occur in the making of an artwork. Though rarely considered seriously, those accidents can offer fascinating insights about the nature of the medium and how it works. With Inadvertent Images, Peter Geimer explores all kinds of photographic irritation from throughout the history of the medium, as well as accidental images that occur through photo-like means, such as the image of Christ on the Shroud of Turin, brought into high resolution through photography. Geimer’s investigations complement the history of photographic images by cataloging a corresponding history of their symptoms, their precarious visibility, and the disruptions threatened by image noise. Interwoven with the familiar history of photography is a secret history of photographic artifacts, spots, and hazes that historians have typically dismissed as “spurious phenomena,” “parasites,” or “enemies of the photographer.” With such photographs, it is virtually impossible to tell where a “picture” has been disrupted—where the representation ends and the image noise begins. We must, Geimer argues, seek to keep both in sight: the technical making and the necessary unpredictability of what is made, the intentional and the accidental aspects, representation and its potential disruption.

Book Synopsis The 7 Mental Images of National Culture by : Huib Wursten
Download or read book The 7 Mental Images of National Culture written by Huib Wursten and published by . This book was released on 2019-10-23 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Clustering countries by their position on Hofstede's cultural dimensions reduce complexity and make the influence of culture visible and tangible to leaders and managers working in diverse cultural settings. The combination of the dimensions yields a wealth of new insights that can be summarized in a 'typology of national culture' - the so-called Mental Images of culture. This typology enables managers to analyze the likely effects of management techniques and employment policies in different national contexts and can aid managers to modify or replace these techniques where they may be dysfunctional or counterproductive.
Book Synopsis The Beast, His Image, and His Mark by : Paul Cozza
Download or read book The Beast, His Image, and His Mark written by Paul Cozza and published by Place in the Wilderness. This book was released on 2019-01-23 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book centers on Revelation 13, where the monstrous elements of Satan's endtime plan are revealed. While most of what is written in this section of the Bible could be dismissed as satanic wonders or merely natural happenings, what is occurring on the earth today seems to indicate this is not the case. Technology may play a prominent role in Satan's endtime plot, and as those days approach the role of technology will become ever more clear. For, consider this: At the time the Bible was written, it was simply not possible to convey in God's Word today's technology and the technology that will be available at the close of this age. There were simply no words in existence to write of what science is producing today. Practically everything in our current technology would have seemed miraculous, magical, or demonic. An automobile? Impossible. A computer? Wizardry. By necessity, all modern technology is absent from the Bible - but that doesn't mean it isn't implied, or even present in some way. This book explores how technology and scripture meet during the events of the endtime.
Book Synopsis A Time of Waiting by : Anne Thurston

Book excerpt: In this book Anne Thurston takes the season of Advent as a starting point to explore the themes of waiting, and longing, of hope and expectation which are at the heart of this season but which extend far beyond it. The theme is embodied in the potent symbol of pregnancy, and in stories of annunciations and visitations from the Scriptures. Images and insights from Art and Literature illuminate the text and invite us to a sacred space beyond words. the other; the freshness and energy in the writing; the starting point of human experience; the shift away from a traditional devotional approach; the reaching out beyond the liturgical season to touch into the heart of 'advent longing'; the accessibility of the writing. is not confined to the liturgical season but has a broader scope. It is not devotional but rather stimulating and creative. The art works are integrated in the text so that it is far more than a nicely illustrated book.
