Perspective and Projective Geometry

Perspective and Projective Geometry

Annalisa Crannell; Marc Frantz; Fumiko Futamura

Princeton University Press
2019
pokkari
Through a unique approach combining art and mathematics, Perspective and Projective Geometry introduces students to the ways that projective geometry applies to perspective art. Geometry, like mathematics as a whole, offers a useful and meaningful lens for understanding the visual world. Exploring pencil-and-paper drawings, photographs, Renaissance paintings, and GeoGebra constructions, this textbook equips students with the geometric tools for projecting a three-dimensional scene onto two dimensions.Organized as a series of exercise modules, this book teaches students through hands-on inquiry and participation. Each lesson begins with a visual puzzle that can be investigated through geometry, followed by exercises that reinforce new concepts and hone students’ analytical abilities. An electronic instructor’s manual available to teachers contains sample syllabi and advice, including suggestions for pacing and grading rubrics for art projects.Drawing vital interdisciplinary connections between art and mathematics, Perspective and Projective Geometry is ideally suited for undergraduate students interested in mathematics or computer graphics, as well as for mathematically inclined students of architecture or art.· Features computer-based GeoGebra modules and hands-on exercises· Contains ample visual examples, math and art puzzles, and proofs with real-world applications· Suitable for college students majoring in mathematics, computer science, and art· Electronic instructor’s manual (available only to teachers)

Driverless Urban Futures

Driverless Urban Futures

AnnaLisa Meyboom

CRC Press Inc
2018
sidottu
Since the industrial revolution, innovations in transportation technology have continued to re-shape the spatial organization and temporal occupation of the built environment. Today, autonomous vehicles (AVs, also referred to as self-driving cars) represent the next disruptive innovation in mobility, with particularly profound impacts for cities. At a moment of the fast-paced development of AVs by auto-making companies around the world, policymakers, planners, and designers need to anticipate and address the many questions concerning the impacts of this new technology on urbanism and society at large.Conceived as a speculative atlas –a roadmap to unknown territories– this book presents a series of drawings and text that unpack the potential impacts of AVs on scales ranging from the metropolis to the street. The work is both grounded in a study of the history of urban transportation and current trajectories of technological innovation, and informed by an open-ended attitude of future envisioning and design. Through the drawings and essays, Driverless Urban Futures invites readers into a debate of how our future infrastructure could benefit all members of the public and levels of society.

From the author of AFRICA and THE W SERIES, a gripping novel that follows Amber Gillingham, an accomplished journalist, as she wrestles with society's expectations about women and motherhood.Everything is perfectly organized in Amber's life: her days at work, in the offices of a prestigious magazine in New York; her time with her beloved husband Mike, and their adventurous vacations around the world.When Amber finds out she is pregnant, her immediate reaction is sheer denial: this can't be true. She always knew she would want children one day, but now it feels so sudden, so unexpected. She tries to play for time, but Mike's reaction to the news, with pure delight and anticipation, is the exact opposite. Wasn't he happy before? Was it all a lie?The news of the pregnancy propagates like circular water waves, from close family to friends, to colleagues, to acquaintances. At each circle, Amber further detaches from the new role society is imposing on her, and she refuses to comply with the expectation of full submission to the child. At each circle, new voices join the choir of enthusiast celebrations, obstructing Amber's restless attempts to keep control on her life, to remain who she is without losing herself, her husband, or her job.NINE explores the role of women in today's society, the meaning of modern motherhood and how it impacts the relationship between a woman and her companion, her workplace, her friends, her family.Reviewers of NINE say it is a "remarkably candid" and "eye-opening take on the demons and fears of pregnancy," a powerful answer to "what we think it means to be a woman today."Perfect for book clubs Visit annalisaconti.com for discussion guides and more.

Plants, Politics and Empire in Ancient Rome

Plants, Politics and Empire in Ancient Rome

Annalisa Marzano

Cambridge University Press
2022
sidottu
The book investigates the cultural and political dimension of Roman arboriculture and the associated movement of plants from one corner of the empire to the other. It uses the convergent perspectives offered by textual and archaeological sources to sketch a picture of large-scale arboriculture as a phenomenon primarily driven by elite activity and imperialism. Arboriculture had a clear cultural role in the Roman world: it was used to construct the public persona of many elite Romans, with the introduction of new plants from far away regions or the development of new cultivars contributing to the elite competitive display. Exotic plants from conquered regions were also displayed as trophies in military triumphs, making plants an element of the language of imperialism. Annalisa Marzano argues that the Augustan era was a key moment for the development of arboriculture and identifies colonists and soldiers as important agents contributing to plant dispersal and diversity.

Wittgenstein and Social Epistemology

Wittgenstein and Social Epistemology

Annalisa Coliva

Cambridge University Press
2025
pokkari
The last twenty years have witnessed a 'social turn' in analytic philosophy. Social epistemology has been crucial to it. Social epistemology starts by repudiating the kind of individualistic epistemology, which, since Descartes' Meditations and through Kant's maxim 'Think for yourself', has dominated philosophy. It is a sign of the deep erasure of Wittgenstein's ideas from many debates in analytic philosophy that neither his views against fundamental tenets of individualistic epistemology, nor his positive contribution to key themes in social epistemology are considered. This Element on Wittgenstein and Social Epistemology is the first comprehensive study of the implications of the later Wittgenstein's ideas for key issues at the core of present-day social epistemology, such as the nature of common sense and its relations to common knowledge; testimony and trust; deep disagreements in connection with genealogical challenges; and the meaning of 'woman' and the role of self-identification in the determination of gender.

Delegation of Powers in the EU Legal System

Delegation of Powers in the EU Legal System

Annalisa Volpato

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2024
nidottu
The majority of rules adopted at the EU level are not issued by democratically elected institutions, but rather by administrative bodies which are empowered to exercise rule-making powers by legislative acts. This book analyses the legal mechanism through which these powers are conferred on the most relevant bodies in the EU institutional landscape, namely the European Commission, the Council, the ECB and EU agencies, and the democratic controls in place to limit and oversee the exercise of these powers.Providing an overarching perspective of the delegation of powers, this book reflects on the notion of delegation and on the commonalities between the different forms of delegation identified. It focuses on the legal requirements and limits for the delegating act, the procedures for the exercise of such powers, the position of the acts in the hierarchy of norms, and their judicial review. Overcoming the fragmentation which characterized the development of the different forms of delegation in the EU, this analysis provides a clear, structured, and coherent picture of the legal framework for the delegation of powers in the light of the constitutional principles of this legal system.Academics and practitioners will equally appreciate this highly accessible addition to the current debate in legal scholarship of the delegation of powers in the EU, as well as its explanations on comitology and the empowerment of EU agencies.

James Joyce’s Legacies in Contemporary Irish Women’s Writing

James Joyce’s Legacies in Contemporary Irish Women’s Writing

Annalisa Mastronardi

TAYLOR FRANCIS LTD
2025
sidottu
James Joyce’s Legacies in Contemporary Irish Women’s Writing is a ground-breaking study that, for the first time, explores in depth the influence of James Joyce on Irish women writers, from his contemporaries to more recent voices. With a particular focus on Anne Enright’s The Gathering, Eimear McBride’s A Girl Is a Half-formed Thing and Emilie Pine’s Ruth & Pen, this book examines how Irish women writers have engaged with Joyce’s legacy.Unlike their male counterparts, who have often felt overshadowed by Joyce’s influence, Irish women writers have embraced and expanded upon his work, viewing it not as a constraint but as an opening to new creative possibilities. This book will be of particular value to Joyce scholars working in feminism and reception studies, as well as students of Irish literature and women’s writing. It offers fresh insights into the evolving landscape of Irish literature and complicates Harold Bloom’s theory of the Anxiety of Influence, demonstrating how women writers perceive canonical figures like Joyce not as rivals, but as trailblazers.

Women Modernists and Fascism

Women Modernists and Fascism

Annalisa Zox-Weaver

Cambridge University Press
2017
pokkari
Modernism both influenced and was fascinated by the rhetorical and aesthetic manifestations of fascism. In examining how four artists and writers represented fascist leaders, Annalisa Zox-Weaver aims to achieve a more complex understanding of the modernist political imagination. She examines how photographer Lee Miller, filmmaker Leni Riefenstahl, writer Gertrude Stein and journalist Janet Flanner interpret, dramatize and exploit Hitler, Göring and Pétain. Within their own artistic medium, each of these modernists explore confrontations between private and public identity, and historical narrative and the construction of myth. This study makes use of extensive archival material, such as letters, photographs, journals, unpublished manuscripts and ephemera, and includes ten illustrations. This interdisciplinary perspective opens up wider discussions of the relationship between artists and dictators, modernism and fascism, and authority and representation.

The Varieties of Self-Knowledge

The Varieties of Self-Knowledge

Annalisa Coliva

Palgrave Macmillan
2016
sidottu
This book explores the idea that self-knowledge comes in many varieties. We “know ourselves” through many different methods, depending on whether we attend to our propositional attitudes, our perceptions, sensations or emotions. Furthermore, sometimes what we call “self-knowledge” is not the result of any substantial cognitive achievement and the characteristic authority we grant to our psychological self-ascription is a conceptual necessity, redeemed by unravelling the structure of several interlocking concepts. This book critically assesses the main contemporary positions held on the epistemology of self-knowledge. These include robust epistemic accounts such as inner sense views and theory-theories; weak epistemic accounts such as transparency theories and rational internalism and externalism; as well as expressivist and constitutivist approaches. The author offers an innovative “pluralist” position on self-knowledge, emphasizing the complexity of the phenomenon and its resistance to any “monistic” treatment, to pose new and intriguing philosophical challenges.
