    The Politics and Philosophy of Chinese Power The Timeless and the Timely by Rosita Dellios
    epub | 597.48 KB | English | Isbn:978-0-7391-9295-5 | Author: R. James Ferguson, Rosita Dellios | Year: 2016


    Description:

    The Politics and Philosophy of Chinese Power
    This book provides a timely analysis of the politics, philosophy, and history of Chinese power, focusing on social, strategic, and diplomatic trends that have shaped China for over three thousand years. Chinese elites have used the past to inform the present, but have also mobilized new ideas to address the country's rapid transition to global power. China's intellectual world can draw on a surprisingly pluralist legacy. When Chinese thinkers assess "power," they bring to bear their classical legacy, the military classics, Chinese socialism, and Western political thought. There are also a number of intriguing formulations that give shape to the exercise of Chinese power. Among these are comprehensive national strength, stability preservation, soft power, asymmetric conflict, and counter-intervention strategies. This book looks at key periods in Chinese history when attitudes to power evolved and at their current expressions. These include China's expanded use of think tanks to chart the future, efforts at creating an eco-civilization to balance growth, and an extended set of security and information capabilities. From observing the centrality of power in today's international affairs, the book moves to the foundational concepts of Chinese governance: its belief in a strategic configuration of power--as understood in military contexts--as well as its growing diplomatic and maritime engagement abroad. This analysis culminates in new ideas of functional multipolarity. Power is also deployed internally: China's use of nationalism as a major tool for state-building and cohesion, the ongoing role of socialism, and the People's Liberation Army are all examined in this light. China's current strategic culture has shaped President Xi Jinping's search for a new model of power for China in the twenty-first century, an endeavor that will have serious implications for the future global order. This book provides an alternative perspective on China's trajectory towards a revised international system.

    pdf | 32.1 MB | English | Isbn:‎ 978-0789480750 | Author: DK Publishing, Inc | Year: 2001


    Description:

    Pro football is a game of choreographed chaos, blurred brush strokes across a bright green canvas. It is 22 athletes springing into action in the performance of 22 distinct tasks. A center snaps the ball, a tackle blocks an end, a linebacker charges, and a guard pulls, while a quarterback pivots to hand the football to a running back, who feints and darts. And in a thunderclap, the separate parts converge. Pro football is a game of adrenaline and emotion, a battle of wills and might. It gives us heroes and goats, joy and despair, broad smiles and damp eyes. It tests players' nerves, unveils their strengths, and sometimes, exposes their shortcomings. And pro football does one other thing better than any other sport. It produces the most captivating photographic images of any game. You still can find Vince Lombardi frozen in time, eyes forward and hands clasped, as his grim-faced Green Bay Packers take the field before the 1966 NFL Championship Game. Walter Payton is caught forever in mid-flight, hurdling a sprawled defender, while scanning the defense for a chance to get more yardage. Johnny Unitas remains permanently poised in 1958, arm cocked and receiver targeted, as the New York Giants try to break through his protection. And Jack Lambert, snarling, glares out from a caged helmet, teeth missing, eyes ablaze. Photographers have prowled through pro football sidelines for nearly as long as the game has been played, each in search of a moment to be preserved for future generations. Only the names of the players and the sites of the games have changed. Photographers have captured the unadulterated joy of John Elway, finally a victor after three Super Bowl defeats... the utter exhaustion of Kellen Winslow, too tired to celebrate, after a victory in one of football's most celebrated games... and the anguished pain of Y.A. Tittle, bloody and battered in 1964, after a demoralizing loss during a wrenching 2-10-2 season. The frozen moments here have been chosen from 80 NFL seasons. In many cases, they have outlived the principals showcased in the scene. They explain again and again why America fell in love with this most American of games. Pro football is a spectacle in which majestic grace collides headlong with brutal force. It is smiles and frowns, exchanging positions over the course of 60 warlike minutes. It is teammates and opponents, stars and nonstars, performing and reacting on stage under the spotlight of sometimes-unimaginable pressure. And all of it has been captured on film, preserved, and retained for those who would like to take a long, loving look at the soul of the game.

    Today's portrait photographers owe a debt of gratitude to old-school pin-up and glamour photographers, who knew how to entice viewers with images that ooze with a playful, come-hither sexuality.

    If you want to stand out from the crowd and capture all those magic moments for posterity, you have come to the right place. Most guides to Digital SLR photography will overwhelm you with jargon, but you and I both know that's not what photography is all about.

    When I first started out, I couldn't find any course or guide that actually helped me become a better photographer. Everything out there was either packed to overflowing with technical terms or far too expensive for my means. All I wanted was to know how to take the photographs I could see in my mind - and nobody was helping me do that.

    That's why I've written this guide - so you don't have to go through what I did.

    Give Me Just 48 HOURS and I'll Make You TEN Times a Better Photographer
    And I will do it for less than the cost of a cup of coffee. Signing up for an expensive course can cost you upwards of $1000. What a waste when all you need to know is in this book.

    Owning a Digital SLR Camera Is All About Taking Beautiful Pictures

    • The tricks and techniques the professionals use to make magic with their lens.
    • How to tell stories with your camera by manipulating your angles and framing.
    Everything that makes an image pop, from the rule of thirds to context and focal points.
    • How to mix things up with specialized alternatives, from wide angle to telephoto and fish eye to tilt and shift.
    • How to use polarizing filters, neutral density filters and ultraviolet filters to best effect.
    • How to see images like the professionals do and use your equipment to get the shot you want.
    • Developing an Eye for Photography IS Possible - Even If You're a Complete Beginner!

    Even if you have never picked up a camera in your life, this book will help you look at everyday scenes with the practice eyes of a professional. By the time you complete this guide, you will know exactly what makes a photograph work - and exactly how to take it.

    The Family Of Man Gerd Hurm
    epub | 35.85 MB | English | Isbn:‎ 178453966X | Author: Gerd Hurm | Year: 2017


    Description:

    The Family of Man is the most widely seen exhibition in the history of photography. The book of the exhibition, still in print, is also the most commercially successful photobook ever published. First shown at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1955, the exhibition travelled throughout the United States and to forty-six countries, and was seen by over nine million people. Edward Steichen conceived, curated and designed the exhibition. He explained its subject as 'the everydayness of life' and 'the essential oneness of mankind throughout the world'. The exhibition was a statement against war and the conflicts and divisions that threatened a common future for humanity after 1945. The popular international response was overwhelmingly enthusiastic. Many critics, however, have dismissed the exhibition as a form of sentimental humanism unable to address the challenges of history, politics and cultural difference. This book revises the critical debate about The Family of Man,...
