The Book of Legendary Lands (0847841219)

A fascinating illustrated tour of the fabled places in literature and folklore that have awed, troubled, and eluded us through the ages. From the epic poets of antiquity to contemporary writers of science fiction, from the authors of the Holy Scriptures to modern raconteurs of fairy tales, writers and storytellers through the ages have invented imaginary and mythical lands, projecting onto them all of our human dreams, ideals, and fears. In the tradition of his acclaimed History of Beauty, On Ugliness, and The Infinity of Lists, renowned writer and cultural critic Umberto Eco leads us on a beautifully illustrated journey through these lands of myth and invention, showing us their inhabitants, the passions that rule them, their heroes and antagonists, and, above all, the importance they hold for us. He explores this human urge to create such places, the utopias and dystopias where our imagination can confront things that are too incredible or challenging for our limited real world. Illu

Small Arcs of Larger Circles : Framing Through Other Patterns (9781909470965)

This is a collection of essays, reflections and poems by Nora Bateson, the noted research designer, film-maker, writer and lecturer. She is the daughter of Gregory Bateson and president of the International Bateson Institute (IBI). Building on Gregory Bateson's famous book Towards an Ecology of Mind and her own film on the subject, Nora Bateson here updates our thinking on systems and ecosystems, applying her own insights and those of her team at IBI to education, organisations, complexity, academia, and the way that society organizes itself. She also introduces the term symmathesy to describe the contextual mutual learning through interaction that takes place in living entities at larger or smaller scales. While she retains her father's rigorous attention to definition, observation and academic precision, she also moves well beyond that frame of reference to incorporate more embodied ways of knowing and understanding. These are reflected in her essays and poems on food, Christ

Playing Utopia - Futures in Digital Games (9783837650501)

Media narratives inform our ideas of the future - and Games are currently making a significant contribution to this medial reservoir. On the one hand, Games demonstrate a particular propensity for fantastic and futuristic scenarios. On the other hand, they often serve as an experimental field for the latest media technologies. However, while dystopias are part of the standard gaming repertoire, Games feature utopias much less frequently. Why? This anthology examines playful utopias from two perspectives. It investigates utopias in digital Games as well as utopias of the digital game; that is, the role of ludic elements in scenarios of the future. Product details Format Paperback | 332 pages

Cultural Contestation in Ethnic Conflict (9780521870139)

Ethnic conflict often focuses on culturally charged symbols and rituals that evoke strong emotions from all sides. Marc Howard Ross examines battles over diverse cultural expressions, including Islamic headscarves in France, parades in Northern Ireland, holy sites in Jerusalem and Confederate flags in the American South to propose a psychocultural framework for understanding ethnic conflict, as well as barriers to, and opportunities for, its mitigation. His analysis explores how culture frames interests, structures demand-making and shapes how opponents can find common ground to produce constructive outcomes to long-term disputes. He focuses on participants' accounts of conflict to identify emotionally significant issues, and the power of cultural expressions to link individuals to larger identities and shape action. Ross shows that, contrary to popular belief, culture does not necessarily exacerbate conflict; rather, the constructed nature of psychocultural narratives can facilita

Wege des Entdeckers : Reisen, Expeditionen und Entdeckungen (3868892265)

Das Reisen selbst stellt eine große Herausforderung im Leben eines Helden dar, nicht nur das Erforschen düsterer Verliese oder die Befreiung entführter Prinzessinnen sind Abenteuer - auch. Zahllose funkelnde Schätze und uralte Mysterien harren noch ihrer Entdeckung, bewacht von schauerlichen Bestien oder eingeborenen Stämmen, und nicht selten gilt es, in ferne und unbekannte Regionen vorzudringen, um sie zu bergen. Noch immer gibt es in Aventurien Gebiete, die nur unzureichend erforscht sind und selbst erfahrenen Wildniskundigen alles abverlangen: die dampfenden Dschungel des Südens, die schneebedeckten Ebenen des Hohen Nordens, die himmelhohen und kahlen Gipfel des Ehernen Schwerts, die endlosen Weiten der Tundra oder die undurchdringlichen Wälder des Mittelreichs. Fremde Kontinente wie das ferne Güldenland oder Uthuria locken, aber auch unbekannte Welten und Globulen sowie der gefährliche, ewig graue Limbus. Wege des Entdeckers behandelt die unterschiedlichsten Aspekten des Reisens

The Reality of War - A Soldier's Diary of the Gulf War (9781786933928)

This book tells the story of what a young soldier, exposed to a full-blown war, experienced during the Gulf War, the largest conflict since World War 2.
