Book Synopsis THE ECONOMIC NATURALIST by : Robert H. Frank
Download or read book THE ECONOMIC NATURALIST written by Robert H. Frank and published by Basic Books. This book was released on 2018-07-03 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why do the keypads on drive-up cash machines have Braille dots? Why are round-trip fares from Orlando to Kansas City higher than those from Kansas City to Orlando? For decades, Robert Frank has been asking his economics students to pose and answer questions like these as a way of learning how economic principles operate in the real world-which they do everywhere, all the time. Once you learn to think like an economist, all kinds of puzzling observations start to make sense. Drive-up ATM keypads have Braille dots because it's cheaper to make the same machine for both drive-up and walk-up locations. Travelers from Kansas City to Orlando pay less because they are usually price-sensitive tourists with many choices of destination, whereas travelers originating from Orlando typically choose Kansas City for specific family or business reasons. The Economic Naturalist employs basic economic principles to answer scores of intriguing questions from everyday life, and, along the way, introduces key ideas such as the cost-benefit principle, the "no cash on the table" principle, and the law of one price. This is as delightful and painless a way to learn fundamental economics as there is.
Download or read book Duty Free Art written by Hito Steyerl and published by Verso Books. This book was released on 2017-11-21 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is the function of art in the era of digital globalization? How can one think of art institutions in an age defined by planetary civil war, growing inequality, and proprietary digital technology? The boundaries of such institutions have grown fuzzy. They extend from a region where the audience is pumped for tweets to a future of “neurocurating,” in which paintings surveil their audience via facial recognition and eye tracking to assess their popularity and to scan for suspicious activity. In Duty Free Art, filmmaker and writer Hito Steyerl wonders how we can appreciate, or even make art, in the present age. What can we do when arms manufacturers sponsor museums, and some of the world’s most valuable artworks are used as currency in a global futures market detached from productive work? Can we distinguish between information, fake news, and the digital white noise that bombards our everyday lives? Exploring subjects as diverse as video games, WikiLeaks files, the proliferation of freeports, and political actions, she exposes the paradoxes within globalization, political economies, visual culture, and the status of art production.

Book Synopsis The Constituent Museum by : John Byrne

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a diverse, rigorous, and experimental analysis of what is commonly known as education, mediation, or interpretation within museum institutions. It takes the visitor not as a passive receiver of predefined content, but as a member of a constituent body, one who facilitates, provokes, and inspires. The publication situates these practices within the socio-political context and the physical and organisational structure, and attempts to understand this change in an integral, interdisciplinary manner. It addresses such issues as ownership and power dynamics, collective pedagogy, co-curation, crowdsourcing, digital cultivation, activating archives, and more.

Book Synopsis Treating Transgender Children and Adolescents by : Jack Drescher
Download or read book Treating Transgender Children and Adolescents written by Jack Drescher and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-10-10 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Extremely gender variant children and adolescents (minors), increasingly referred to as 'trans' or 'transgender children,' are small in number. In recent years, their situation has become highly sensationalized, whilst the matter of how to best treat them remains an area of controversy. A growing body of research supports emerging treatment approaches, but more research is still needed to answer a host of questions: Do trans minors have a psychiatric disorder or a normal variation of gender presentation? Should treatment be aimed at helping them accept the bodies into which they were born or should parents, clinicians and schools accommodate their wishes of transition? At what age should transition begin? What are the implications – physical, psychological, social and ethical – of various treatment approaches? The first part of this volume explores different clinical approaches to transgender minors in the USA and abroad. The second part contains responses to these approaches by commentators from various fields including biology, child psychiatry, civil rights activism, ethics, law, gender studies, queer theory and psychoanalysis. The work will be an invaluable source for parents and families looking at how to proceed with a trans child, as well as clinicians seeking to make appropriate referrals. This book was originally published as a special issue of the Journal of Homosexuality.
Download or read book The Freedom Artist written by Ben Okri and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2019-02-07 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of 2019's most anticipated novels in THE TIMES, IRISH TIMES and GUARDIAN. 'Where fiction's master of enchantments stares down a real horror, and without blinking or flinching, produces a work of beauty, grace and uncommon power' MARLON JAMES, winner of the Man Booker Prize 2015. An impassioned plea for freedom and justice, set in a world uncomfortably like our own, by the Man Booker-winner Ben Okri. In a world uncomfortably like our own, a young woman called Amalantis is arrested for asking a question. Her question is this: Who is the Prisoner? When Amalantis disappears, her lover Karnak goes looking for her. He searches desperately at first, then with a growing realization. To find Amalantis, he must first understand the meaning of her question. Karnak's search leads him into a terrifying world of lies, oppression and fear at the heart of which lies the Prison. Then Karnak discovers that he is not the only one looking for the truth. The Freedom Artist is an impassioned plea for justice and a penetrating examination of how freedom is threatened in a post-truth society. In Ben Okri's most significant novel since the Booker Prize-winning The Famished Road, he delivers a powerful and haunting call to arms. 'Ben Okri is that rare thing, a literary and social visionary, a writer for whom all three – literature, culture and vision – are profoundly interwoven' ALI SMITH.
Book Synopsis Diana Policarpo: Nets of Hyphae by : Stefanie Hessler
Download or read book Diana Policarpo: Nets of Hyphae written by Stefanie Hessler and published by . This book was released on 2022-03 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diana Policarpo?s new work highlights feminist intersectional concerns and draws geographical connections between Norway, Portugal, and Spain, where similar subspecies of a fungus, Claviceps purpurea, are found. Also known as ergot, the parasite infects the ovaries of rye plants, creating purple protrusions. These knobs have been used traditionally by women for abortions and to initiate labor in childbirth. The mushroom is also the organic base from which LSD is synthesized. When consumed in larger doses, often unknowingly?for instance, in bread?it caused long-lasting states of hallucination referred to today as medieval dancing plagues. And, allegedly, during the witch trials in Finnmark and other places, women and Sámi shamans were said to have had visions of the devil after ingesting a purple substance?possibly Claviceps, as Policarpo speculates. The contributors to this book discuss Policarpo?s research in the context of ancestral knowledge, the capitalization of health, women?s and LGBTQ+ rights, witchcraft, and alchemy from artistic, curatorial, and historical perspectives. Making connections across times, geographies, and scales, Nets of Hyphae humbly points to shared habitats and, in the words of the anthropologist Anna Tsing, to possibilities of earthly survival on a precarious planet. Co-published by Galeria Municipal do Porto, Kunsthall Trondheim, and Mousse Publishing with support from the Arts Council Norway. Design by João M. Machado.

For years, economist Robert Frank has been encouraging his students to ask questions about the conundrums and strange occurrences they encounter in everyday life and to try to explain them using economics.

Book Synopsis Stefano Graziani: Documents on Raphael by : Francesco Zanot
Download or read book Stefano Graziani: Documents on Raphael written by Francesco Zanot and published by . This book was released on 2022-03 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Documents on Raphael' is not only a rediscovery project carried out on the five hundredth anniversary of Raphael?s death, but above all an operation of re-visioning. Stefano Graziani?s photographs explore the works of the artist from Urbino?with particular reference to his output as an architect?their transformation over time, and his own process that translated them into images. Graziani puts variation before permanence and reflects on the very concept of the restoration, the archive, conservation, display, and of course the original, that last so dear to the photographic debate, especially considering that Raphael never saw any of his works as we see them today. Graziani?s images, combined with reliable evidence regarding Raphael?s production, refer back to the most iconic classical genres of representation: landscape and still life.

Download or read book Tatjana Danneberg: Caught Up written by and published by . This book was released on 2022-03 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tatjana Danneberg?s preoccupation with the nature of images and the possibilities that unfold through their manipulation and deconstruction commences with photography ? low-fi images taken with simple automatic cameras that depict her immediate surroundings, friends, and acquaintances in a familiar, often intimate manner. After developing the images, she prints them on specific foils using an inkjet printer, then paints on them with gesso in broad strokes. Finally she glues the works ? each one a symbiosis of printed image and primer ? to canvas. Loosely cropped, showing bodily details or contortions, the images have an eventful feeling, depicting moments of action ? or a lack of it. Their presence is almost brutal, and yet they are dominated by an atmosphere of intimacy. ?They show fragile arrays,? writes Vanessa Joan Müller, ?ephemeral constellations or moments that seem unimportant when experienced but significant when remembered.?0The book, featuring three newly commissioned essays along with extensive color illustrations, is published on the occasion of Danneberg?s first solo presentation at a public institution, Wait a Minute, at Salzburger Kunstverein. Relating to youth culture movements, the new large-scale paintings and site-specific floor poster installation revolve around the states of bewilderment, uncertainty, and alienation, as well as enthusiasm and hope, that accompany the process of growing up.00Exhibition: Salzburger Kunstverein, Salzburg, Austria (08.05-11.07.2021).
