The Design Way: Intentional Change In An Unpredictable World: Foundations And Fundamentals Of Design Competence | Harold G. Nelson | 4.25 | Design | First published January 1, 2003 | Humans did not discover fire--they designed it. Design is not defined by software programs, blueprints, or font choice. When we create new things--technologies, organizations, processes, systems, environments, ways of thinking--we engage in design. With this expansive view of design as their premise, in "The Design Way "Harold Nelson and Erik Stolterman make the case for design as its own culture of inquiry and action. They offer not a recipe for design practice or theorizing but a formulation of design culture's fundamental core of ideas. These ideas--which form "the design way"--are applicable to an infinite variety of design domains, from such traditional fields as architecture and graphic design to such nontraditional design areas as organizational, educational, interaction, and healthcare design.The text of this second edition is accompanied by new detailed images, "schemas" that visualize, conceptualize, and structure the authors' understanding of design inquiry. The text itself has been revised and expanded throughout, in part in response to reader feedback. | 110 |

Abbagliati dalla felicità di questo amore, fiduciosi e impazienti come solo a vent'anni si può essere – quando hai davanti a te tutto il tempo del mondo – decidono di sposarsi. All'improvviso, dopo soli sei mesi.

Quando è con lui Elsie è finalmente se stessa, e si sente migliore. Vuole davvero passare il resto della sua vita insieme a Ben, per fare con lui tutto, tutti i giorni: l’amore, la spesa, i bambini, il caffè. Elsie non può certo immaginare che il loro matrimonio durerà soltanto nove giorni, e che un incidente crudele e impensabile li strapperà l'uno all'altra.

Fossiiliset polttoaineet mahdollistivat modernin elämän 150 vuoden ajan. Se oli poikkeustila, jota erehdyttiin pitämään normaalina. Fossiilinen mahti jäi sokeaan pisteeseen.Kun öljy ehtyy, alkaa ennennäkemätön ja arvaamaton taipale. Avautuu kauhistava, toiveita herättävä ja tuntematon maisema. Vaikka aavistamme tilanteen tieteellisesti ja laskennallisesti, sen filosofista merkitystä ei ole kysytty. Miten elettäisiin, jos energia olisi samanaikaisesti kouriintuntuvinta ja aineettominta, sisäisintä ja vierainta, luovinta ja tuhoavinta?Energia ja kokemus luo energian filosofiaa ja parantaa öljyn tajua hetkenä, jolloin fossiilikapitalismin ajattelun viimeiset askeleet ovat samalla jälkifossiilisen tulevaisuuden ensimmäisiä. | 55 |

Nightfolk | Holly Saknusseneouw | 4 | Historical Fiction | First published October 15, 2013 | Which is more frightening– Gothic Genre or a History of the Twentieth Century? –because compared to the likes of Hitler or Stalin, Dracula might as well have been a quaint, country squire with a few fetishes… In the Magical Realist traditions of “The Master and Margarita” and “The Tin Drum,” NIGHTFOLK recounts the tale of the Nåttfolk, a preternatural people whose collective memories and vampiric proclivities has allowed for an intimate perspective within the shadows of history. Forgotten to the Modern Era, only two individuals would document the existence of the Nåttfolk. The first was the socialite diarist W. Arthur Richardson, who described his encounters with J.S. Wehrlenau, a secretive German guest at an Adirondacks hotel during the winter of 1931. Fascinated with Wehrlenau’s knack for emanating memories, Richardson surmises the man’s true nature upon witnessing his abduction and transformation of a young Irish servant named Emily, and the extreme reaction of her husband Jack. The second encounter would come during the disenchanted summer of 1979, when a graduate student named Fran Avery would offer a ride to Emily wandering along a highway. Soon afterwards, Fran is ensnared in Emily's as well as Wehrlenau’s memories, glimpsing a legacy reaching back centuries to the first changelings in Medieval Scandinavia. Weeks later, Fran awakens to find herself changed – able to glean memory and experience, but also imbued with the predatory instincts of the Nåttfolk. Isolated in a mountain farmhouse under the watch of an elderly and monstrously embittered Jack, Fran attempts to transcend her nature by vicariously dwelling in the memories that have taken root within her. Over the next two decades, she ventures deep into the conscience of the Nåttfolk, as well as Jack’s own disastrous attempts to find redemption and catharsis. In turn, Fran bears witness to events ranging from the Enlightenment to the Holocaust, encountering all manner of fellow changelings – both mythic and mortal – before grasping the power of history in transforming human nature. | 7 |

In Search of the Firedance: Spain Through Flamenco | James Woodall | 3 | null | First published May 11, 1992 | This book concentrates above all on flamenco's origins, from the deep south of Spain, Andalusia. Over the ages, the region has been submitted to a variety of influences - Roman, Visigothic, Arab, Jewish, finally Christian - and it was above all where the gypsies settled in the 15th century. Their origins are still mysterious, but there is no doubt that they injected into the indigenous musical culture of Andalusia their idiosyncratic mix of rhythm and song. In time, this became known as "cante jondo" - deep song. It was only in the 19th century that what we now recognize as flamenco evolved, and it has been evolving ever since. In the world eye, flamenco is dance, gypsy dance, and the 20th century has been largely beneficial to its development. With figures like La Argentina, Antonio and most recently Antonio Gades, flamenco dance has been in innovative hands; the underside, the cod flamenco of the "costas", is part of an altogether different story, also told here. The leading towns and cities - Seville, Granada, Jerez, Cadiz, not least of all Madrid - and the principal figures, past and present - Manuel Torre, Caracol, La Nina de los Peines, El Camaron, Paco de Lucia - are all profiled in this book. The author explains why flamenco has become so popular and reaches some conclusions about what constitutes its magic. | 2 |
Student Body | T.D. Rizor | 0 | null | First published October 3, 2013 | BRYCE IS NOT THE GUY HE USED TO BE.High school is hard enough without looking like a monster, but for Bryce it's worse. Scars cover his body, and he doesn't remember going to school... EVER. In fact, he can't remember anything before waking from a coma in his uncle's basement. Within minutes of walking through the doors of Franklin Delano High, he wonders if he can survive a single day... But then he meets a girl. And Shelley isn't like the other girls. She sees past the scars to who Bryce truly is. "YOU ARE NOT WHO YOU THINK YOU ARE." Just as things begin looking up, Bryce finds these cryptic words on a note in his locker. But who is it from? And what does it mean? The search for answers leads him down a grisly path. Buried deep within the only home he's ever known, Bryce makes a gruesome discovery when he finally opens the padlocked freezer in the basement. Hidden beneath the ice lies the key to unlocking his true identity -- and solving the mystery surrounding his "loving" uncle. What Bryce uncovers is so shocking, it threatens not only his life, but the life of the girl he loves. Now he'll have to confront his past if he wants to save his future. | 0 |
