Social, casual and mobile games, played on devices such as smartphones, tablets, or PCs and accessed through online social networks, have become extremely popular, and are changing the ways in which games are designed, understood, and played. These games have sparked a revolution as more people from a broader demographic than ever play games, shifting the stereotype of gaming away from that of hardcore, dedicated play to that of activities that fit into everyday life.
Social, Casual and Mobile Games explores the rapidly changing gaming landscape and discusses the ludic, methodological, theoretical, economic, social and cultural challenges that these changes invoke. With chapters discussing locative games, the new freemium economic model, and gamer demographics, as well as close studies of specific games (including Candy Crush Saga, Angry Birds, and Ingress), this collection offers an insight into the changing nature of games and the impact that mobile media is having upon individuals and societies around the world.

Here at last is the third book in Harry Willson's humanist trilogy. The "enquiry" that he began at the age of 62 spilled over into two carefully crafted and reader-friendly works of philosophy, Freedom from God and Myth and Mortality. Harry's readers will delight in this retrospective of a life dedicated to discovery and frank discussion of what makes us tick. Those who come for the first time to the work of Harry Willson, former clergyman and committed writer-teacher-activist, will discover an informed, irreverent voice of reason in a world gone mad on dogma, hype, guilt trips and power trips. Above all, Harry's commitment to personal and mutual liberation shines through.
"From Fear to Love began as personal enquiry: 'Well, Harry, if you don't believe that anymore, what do you believe, and on the basis of what?' At one point I exclaimed, 'I've found the cure to a disease that no one else has ' But now I do not believe that the difficulty is so exclusively my own." --Harry Willson, 1997

The plaque said this was the winter fishing hut of Thur?dur Einarsd?ttir, one of Iceland's greatest fishing captains, and that she lived from 1777 to 1863.
"Wait," anthropologist and former seawoman Margaret Willson said. "She??"
So began a quest. Were there more Icelandic seawomen? Most Icelanders said no, and, after all, in most parts of the world fishing is considered a male profession. What could she expect in Iceland?
She found a surprise. This book is a glimpse into the lives of vibrant women who have braved the sea for centuries. Their accounts include the excitement, accidents, trials, and tribulations of fishing in Iceland from the historic times of small open rowboats to today's high-tech fisheries. Based on extensive historical and field research, Seawomen of Iceland allows the seawomen's voices to speak directly with strength, intelligence, and - above all - a knowledge of how to survive.
This engaging ethnographic narrative will intrigue both general and academic readers interested in maritime culture, the anthropology of work, Nordic life, and gender studies.

Описание: When the Seminole Indians were forced to move from their native Florida to Indian Territory, some refused to go. Those remaining retreated to the Everglades and kept themselves secluded from the encroaching white population. At the turn of the 20th century, the band had increased to about 600 individuals. The author endeavors to give a sympathetic history of these people by discussing their history from their Georgia origins through the 1920s. The Seminoles were originally part of the Creek Nation in Georgia. As early as 1750, they split away and went south into Florida. When Andrew Jackson became president and instituted his Indian removal policy in the 1830s, the Seminoles initially battled to keep their land. Failing to achieve success, most were removed to Indian Territory in the area of the present-day state of Oklahoma. Focusing on the remnant band of natives who remained in Florida, the author turns to describing their situation in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She covers such Seminole attributes as their appearance and notions of honor, as well as such customs as marriage and slaveholding. She discusses their life in the Everglades. Several biographical sketches are included, such as Osceola, "the Napoleon of the Seminoles," and Stem-o-la-kee, a woman who ventured out of the woods to meet with the author. A section on vocabulary presents a range of words, phrases, and sentences in Seminole and English. (1928, 2003), 2015, 51/2x81/2, paper, index, 366 pp.

Описание: Excerpt from An Appeal to the Public, Especially Those Concerned in Education: Against the Wrong and Injury Done by Marcius Willson Again, the change of school books, without a sufficient rea son, is a great evil in our community. If every school-book, made by authors and publishers, merely to get money, by put ting together other people's materials, was out of the market, much of the embarrassment of teachers and school-committees would be avoided. In thus, reluctantly, coming before the public, I feel a confi dence which consoles me, that I shall find favor with the good and just. Such, who are women, will feel the cause to be their own and such, who are men, will attribute a peculiar sacredness to the interests of the weaker sex. Females have but few means of benefiting themselves or others, compared with males and when men go so far as to confederate against a woman, society at large requires of them, that their cause should be other than avarice, and their weapons, other than defamation. Io - Having premised thus much by way of introduction, we now proceed to give some history of the Report of Mr. Marcius Willson - which occupies the main body of his pam phlet - its first appearance in the Biblical Repository, and my Reply therein published.
