Book DescriptionIn this generously illustrated monograph the renowned South African photographer David Goldblatt explores the aftermath of Apartheid in and beyond Johannesburg In the past decade David Goldblatts documentary photographs of his native country have gained worldwide recognition for their intimate, unflinching views of обябм a culture ravaged by prejudice and injustice Since 1999 Goldblatt has focused primarily on large-format color works: land- and cityscapes that capture not only the countrys fragile social structure but also its beautiful vistas and vibrant hues Intersections is the first complete volume of Goldblatts color work to date His urban images dwell on the ostentatious developments mushrooming in and around Johannesburg as well as scenes of the everyday life of people who make their living within the city His rural images capture the seductive vastness of the landscape, the damage done to the land by the mining industry, and the dignity of the people living on the land His photographs capture the contrasts that represent South Africa: white and black, rural and urban, desperate and hopeful They mark the emergence of an important new phase in the work of a photographer who, living among his subjects, uses his art to make sense of these very contradictions.  Barb   Maxt   stop   Cano2005 г 124 стр ISBN 3791332473.

Book DescriptionAndro Wekuas hometown, Sochumi in the Republic of Georgia, used to be an idyllic holiday resort for Soviet functionaries Today it is a zone of exclusion, empty and yet replete with memories: the house of his grandmother, the Black Sea, communist propaganda, a monumental freighter at the docks, traces of the political turmoil обябо of the past Wekua uses these fragments of personal and political history to create atmospheric paintings, collages, sculptures, traces of his post-cold war search of things past They are images from a no mans land between East and West, past und present, nightmare and nostalgia With an essay by Gianni Jetzer The artist deliberately refrains from reconstructing the past; instead he aestheticizes, transfigures and interprets it to accommodate his own taste The consequence is an inevitable contradiction A nostalgia varnish turns Wekuas pictures into the remote ideal of non-accelerated society with manifest references to his own past Gianni Jetzer.  Nadi   Rand   Жадь   12802005 г 83 стр ISBN 390550958X.

The rewards of building a great global firm at this moment in time are extraordinary All the international ventures that have shaped the world economy to date, from the early spice trade to today's multinational corporations, amount to a pebble's ripple in a pond compared with the ocean of opportunity now opening to those ambitious enough to navigate оджиы its waters The world's economy is integrating as never before, driven by the erosion of national borders, the increasing mobility of capital, and the escalating power of technology As serious contenders accelerate their strategies to match the pace of globalization, the race to build a truly great global firm is on Race for the World contends that standing still-or simply running in place-is not an option This prophetic, timely book focuses on new and useful ways of thinking about strategy in the integrating world economy What will it take to win in markets and industries that are fundamentally changing and evolving? The key to success, say the authors, lies in owning and leveraging superior intangible assets-talent, knowledge, brands, relationships, and reputation Examples of early leaders in the global game, including powerhouses such as Coca-Cola, Citigroup, Dell, and SAP, reveal how winningplayers mobilize their intangible assets in a coherent strategy for an integrated global economic arena The uncertain, volatile nature of globalization means that pace and timing-knowing not just what to do but when to do it-will be critical to success New opportunities and advantages will be plentiful, yet they will just as certainly be quickly claimed by competitors both known and unknown Race for the World shows managers and strategists that market leaders must approach the unfamiliarity and uncertainty of the new economy not as a problem to avoid, but as an opportunity to shape their company's future-and shows them how to do so.  EHLP   Tatt   Svia   DaviISBN 087584846X.

The future is happening today, and the most successful organizations will be those that understand the dynamics of the "big picture" in which their decisions are being made This book describes how to understand and influence that picture Irene Sanders pioneered the application of chaos theory and complexity to strategic thinking оджкд -- the most essential skill in today's fast-paced business environment Now, in this straightforward, easy-to-read book, she shows how the most up-to-date strategic thinking isdone, and how you can begin using it in your enterprise Sanders' original and practical approach moves far beyond traditional forecasting, futuring and scenario-building The new science of chaos and complexity has shown scientists and business professionals alike the importance of looking at the world as a whole system, rather than as a collection of deterministic principles Consequently, the human mind -- through the integration of intuition and intellect -- is now recognized as the only information processor capable of understanding the level of complexity in today's global business environment By engaging the mind's eye through the use of visual thinking, Sanders shows you how to develop insight about the present and foresight about the future, thereby allowing you to see and influence the future as it is emerging The new planning paradigm presented in Strategic Thinking and the New Science is nothing less than a transformation of the science of business For the first time in history, we have the knowledge, tools and techniques to develop visual thinking as the essential insight/foresight skill of the future In addition to breakthroughs neuroscientists have made about brain-mind interactions, artists and psychologists are revealing the role of imagery in the creative process And now, the new field of scientific visualization brings all of this information together with computer graphics to demonstrate how visual images can be used to engage our imaginations, enhance learning -- and stimulate our deeper levels of awareness In this groundbreaking book, Sanders is the first to define the new model of strategic thinking -- a model that is bound to revolutionize organizations of all types as they begin to see and influence theirfutures -- today.  8942   Seve   Удар   RenzISBN 0684842688.

Book DescriptionProvocative, experimental, conceptual, fresh, dry, minimalist, brazen, and even crass: these were just some of the words used to describe the work of young Dutch designers and artists in the 1990s Their work was such a tremendous hit at home and abroad that there was even talk of "hype"--not a concept that immediately обюяы comes to mind when thinking of Holland, land of windmills and all things regulated Proving that it isn't just hype, Reality Machines investigates the artistic stance of the best contributors to the contemporary Dutch aesthetic Check out work by architects West 8, MVRDV, NL Architects, One Architecture, and Crimson; industrial designers Hella Jongerius, Arnout Visser, Jurgen Bey, Marcel Wanders, and Richard Hutten; fashion designers Alexander van Slobbe, Saskia van Drimmelen, Pascale Gatzen, Aziz Bekkaoui, and Niels Klavers; graphic designers Jop van Bennekom, Daniël van der Velden & Maureen Mooren, Thonik, and 75B; and photographers Anuschka Blommers & Niels Schumm, Vivianne Sassen, and many more Reacting against their comprehensively man-made (read: designed) environment, these Dutch designers deliberately work at transforming and distorting reality In Reality Machines, their work is broken down intosix thematic groupings--"PhotoShop Reality," "Come Back Effect," "Back to Basics," "Datamining," "No Original," and "Are You Serious?"--framed by an introductory essay that sketches the current state of play in their individual disciplines and seeks an answer to the question of how young Dutch designers, given the new economic and political situation, will manifest themselves in the future Essay by Linda Vlassenrood Introduction by Aaron Betsky Paperback, 8 5 x 10 5 in , 176 pages, 100 colorillustrations.  Росс   Undi   Арцр   Jerz2003 г 199 стр ISBN 9056622900.

Amazon comA scholar of fairy tales, Maria Tatar, provides a fascinating introduction about the history and meaning of the stories assembled by the Brothers Grimm She writes, for example, "We now know that the stories collected in the nineteenth-century folktale anthologies had their origins in an irreverent peasant culture that arose обябй in conscious opposition to the feudal state's ruling class By overdoing it in the realm of storytelling, these narrators were able to alleviate--if only temporarily--some of the tedium that marked the daily life of their audience [These tales] can be seen as the ancestors of our urban legends about vanishing hitchhikers and cats accidentally caught in the dryer or as the preliterate equivalents of tabloid tales describing headless bodies found in topless bars But in many ways, it is the horror film to which the matter and manner of these folktales has most conspicuously migrated Like horror films, folktales trade in the sensational--breaking taboos and enacting the forbidden with uninhibited energy " The text of the 19 tales in this collection is based on the 1822 edition of Kinder- und Hausmärchen (Nursery and Household Tales) by Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm--before the tales were expurgated and rewritten to make them more "suitable" for children It's bound in a handsome faux-antique format, and lavishly illustrated by Tracy Arah Dockray (15 full-page color paintings, and a black-and-white drawing on nearly every page) Most of the tales will be unfamiliar to American and English readers, who may be surprised by the graphic descriptions of incest, murder, mutilation, and cannibalism Chronicle Books has done us a service in helping restore to our adult culture these vivid, evocative folktales --Fiona WebsterBook DescriptionMurder, kidnapping, cruel and unusual punishment, violent revengethese are not the bedtime stories mummy used to read Newly reissued with a fresh cover, Grimm's Grimmest presents nineteen original, unsanitized, whollyunholy tales as they were first collected by the Brothers Grimm circa 1822all fiendishly illustrated The tales harken back to a time when travelers risked roasting or worse, and bad manners yielded frightful consequences An insightful introduction makes sense of the mayhem, shedding light on how the Grimm brothers went from macabre to mainstream in fairly short order From the true horror of Aschenputtel (the original Cinderella story) to Rapunzel's dark secret, Grimm's Grimmest features the authentic stories born long ago in the land of the Black Forest, at a time when fairy tales never ended happily ever after.  серт   Myth   Stan   Perp2005 г 142 стр ISBN 0811850463.

A consultant friend worked for an international corporation For the first three years he worked very hard, introducing lean production techniques into the business This meant introducing measurement systems, benchmarking methodologies and eliminating waste in many forms through involvement and empowerment He also made recommendations оджиь that led to new information systems whose implementation he led The arrival of the interest in the learning organization allowed him to integrate everything he had laboured over into a coherent whole When the knowledge revolution began to grow, he was convinced that what he had been doing had been part of that revolution But one day, after three years of hard work across the corporation's plants around the world, he was allowed a glimpse of the real business knowledge that drove the organization And to his initial sense of disbelief, this 'real' knowledge had nothing to do with efficiency, utilization or the involvement of large numbers of people This 'real' knowledge turned out to be about knowing when to get into a market, when to get out; how to create value in that market and manage its decline This knowledge was shared between three key individuals and by being allowed to see it, my friend was being invited to participate in a very privileged game The question he kept asking himself, was: how could he have missed the real knowledge for so long? How could he have confused what turned out to be minor tactics with a strategy? Victor Newman (Excerpt from The Knowledge Activist's Handbook).  крас   9056   Arts   03-1ISBN 184112320X.
