Bridge is Beautiful
Do you like squeeze play? Do you like complicated endings? Do you like bridge? Then look no further: this is the book for you.
From the mind of a junior bridge player comes a new book designed to challenge the norm: a book that starts where Clyde Love's classic leaves off, a book intended to push squeeze play to its absolute limits. Well-known squeezes are thoroughly examined and dissected, and a variety of all-new squeezes are brought into the light of day.
What awaits the reader is an exciting and humorous journey, one that will challenge the imagination and give new energy to the way you play bridge. And if the first book isn't enough to quench your thirst for squeeze play, there's always Volume Two.

Описание: What can the sounds of today tell us about the future? Can an analysis of sound and sonic practices allow us to make reliable predictions in relation to wider social phenomena? And what might they tell us about technology in a world where futurology is such a frenzied and busy field? In order to answer these questions, this book tests a range of propositions that connect noise, sound and music to political, economic and technological events. Hence it is a book about historical trajectories and conflicting ideas about time and the necessity to re-contextualize and interpret them in the digital age.

Описание: The contemporary media landscape might be described in simple terms as a digital terrain where real and virtual worlds collide. Stephen Kennedy investigates the concept of our digital space leading up to the digital turn of the 1990s to fully understand how our perceptions of orientation in space in time was altered. Chaos Media: A Sonic Economy of Digital Space re-thinks the five fundamental paths to our contemporary understanding of the digital age: cultural, political, economic, scientific, and aesthetic, and ties them together to form a coherent whole in order to demonstrate how critical thinking can be reconfigured using a methodological approach that uses 'chaos' and 'complexity' as systematic tools for studying contemporary mediated space. Kennedy introduces the concept of Sonic Economy, a methodology that allows for a critical engagement with the heterogeneous elements of an information society wherein the dispersion of discrete elements is manifest but not always clearly visible.

Автор: Kennedy Liam, Shapiro Stephen Название: Neoliberalism and Contemporary American Literature ISBN: 1512603619 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781512603613 Издательство: Неизвестно Рейтинг: Цена: 41380.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Neoliberalism is the rare buzzword that has fully crossed over from academic theorizing into mainstream discussion. Neoliberalism and Contemporary American Literature is the first book to examine the ways that US literature has responded to the dominance of our neoliberal regime. The essays collected here reveal how contemporary American writers have both propped up and interrogated the foundations of neoliberalism. The contributors look at a host of literary genres and styles, from the utopian sci-fi of Kim Stanley Robinson and the dark fantasy of Karen Russell to the poetic memoir-fiction hybrids of Ben Lerner, exploring how the relationships between politics, economics, and literary form have become both distorted and revitalized in the age of neoliberalism. Most pressingly, they ask if contemporary literature can still imagine either the end of capitalism or any realistic alternative to it.
