enth Anniversary The Art of Game Design A Book of Lenses 3rd Edition - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: I was shorter then. since that picture was taken, I’ve done a lot of different things. I’ve worked in circuses as a professional juggler. I’ve been a writer, comedian, and magician’s apprentice. I’ve worked at IbM and bell Communications Research as a software engineer. I’ve designed and developed interactive theme park rides and massively multiplayer games for the Walt Disney Company. I’ve started my own game studio, and become a professor at Carnegie Mellon University. but when peo- ple ask me what I do, I tell them that I am a game designer. I mention all this only because at various times in this book, I will be drawing examples from these experiences, since every single one of them has taught me valuable lessons about the art of game design. that might sound surprising now, but hopefully, as you read this book, it will help you see the ways that game design meaningfully connects to the many experiences in your own life
Normalität und Fragilität Demokratie nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Einleitung 9 Tim B. Müller | Adam Tooze Demokratie nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg Gibt es eine Geburtsstunde der modernen Demokratie? Die jüngste Forschung bietet Grund, zur Untersuchung dieser Frage in die erste Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts und insbesondere auf die Jahre nach dem Ersten Weltkrieg zu blicken. Das ist auch der Ansatz, den die- ser Band vorschlägt und verfolgt. Sein Thema ist das making of de- mocracy im Ersten Weltkrieg und vor allem nach 1918. Er begreift die Demokratie dieser Zeit konsequent als etwas im Entstehen Be- griffenes. Eine solche Lesart folgt aus einer vergleichenden, natio- nale Grenzen überschreitenden Betrachtungsweise. Aber damit wird die Vorgeschichte nicht ausgeblendet. Bereits im späten 19. Jahrhundert baute sich eine globale Demokratisie- rungswelle auf und machte sich ein weltweites Demokratisierungs- verlangen bemerkbar. Erweiterungen des Wahlrechts waren an der Tagesordnung, doch das allgemeine Wahlrecht lag für die meisten Gesellschaften noch fern. Diese ungleichen, aber gleichzeitigen Entwicklungen sind als »Demokratisierungsepisoden« bezeichnet worden. Die Demokratie wurde zur globalen Erwartung.1 Das gilt auch für traditionell als demokratisch geltende Gesellschaften, die jedoch erst in dieser Epoche entscheidende Demokratisierungs- schübe erlebten

MEDIA STUDIES THE BASICS SECOND EDITION - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: INTRODUCTION TO THE SECOND EDITION Eight years on from the first edition of this book, any notion that updating it for a second edition would be quick or straightforward was dispensed with at the start of the process. We imagine that updating other books in this series might involve replacing some examples, refreshing the core concepts with new theories, perhaps reviewing the ‘shelf-life’ of some case studies. But for Media Studies, the subject never stands still, so this is more like a total system upgrade than a software update. For this reason, the second edition is a collaboration, to converge the perspective of the author of the original book with the experience and insight of the editor of MediaMagazine, also a teacher trainer in the subject. Maybe you have picked up this book because you’re starting a course in Media Studies (given the title, it’s a fair guess). Perhaps you are an English teacher diversifying into Media Studies. Or you could be a parent, wondering what Media Studies is really all about and whether your child should spend their time engaging with it. We will argue that in the era of social media platform capitalism and ‘fake news’, it’s more important than ever. If you are a Media student, the assumption will be that you’ve never studied it before – this is, after all, ‘The Basics’, although it might be a useful ‘refresher’ even if you have. All the way through, the emphasis will be on distinguishing between everyday media engagement and critical media literacy. Just by being alive in the contemporary ‘mediated’ world, we all respond actively to media – we never just ‘take it in’ without any thought or interpretation and more and more, we create it. Equally, the distinction between ou
The Coronavirus Pandemic and Inequality - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: his book has been a long time in the making. It was first conceived in the summer of 2020 at which time few people expected a pandemic of the length we have experienced, dealing with a virus that is so efficient in morphing into ever more transmissible variants. Much of the world, including Europe, the United States, and Australia, now seems to have reached a point where COVID-19 is beginning to be regarded as endemic with occasional upticks, much like the annual influenza epidemics with which we have all learned to live. However, since we are not really out of the woods yet with respect to the COVID-19 pandemic, especially as vaccination rates in many parts of the world are well below where they need to be, this book can only be a provisional assessment of the effects and response to the coronavirus pandemic. It is an attempt to summarize and take stock of where many countries in the world stand as of October 2022
The Barcelona School of Ecological Economics and Political Ecology - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Joan (Juan) Martinez-Alier has been a pioneer in ecological economics. In addition to being one of the founding editors of the journal Ecological Economics, he con- tributed enormously to its theoretical development, as well as to uncovering and explaining its foundations in the history of economic thought. As if that were not enough, he served as president of the International Society for Ecological Economics, as professor and mentor of many European students in this new field at the University of Barcelona and as a social activist for ecological justice all over the world. Back in the mid-1960s, I read something he had written that impressed me, and I wrote him about it. Later while attending a conference in Barcelona, I managed to meet him briefly. Our friendship grew at early conferences on ecological economics in Stockholm and Barcelona and in Costa Rica. On a trip to the USA, he visited me at Louisiana State University, and later, I managed to get him as a consultant at the World Bank for a month, although neither his efforts nor mine had much influence on that institution. I regret that the Atlantic Ocean prevented more frequent and closer contact between us. Nevertheless, collegial friendship with Joan has been a great personal benefit to me, as it has also been to many others. His many intellec- tual and moral contributions are a gift to all ecological economists, and to the world. Felicidades y gracias, Joan!
Innovation and Regional Technological Convergence Theory and Evidence - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The concept of income convergence has drawn the attention of many economists involved in the growth debate (Alataş, 2021). Recent theories of growth and empirical studies suggest that heterogeneity with respect to technological conditions in general and total factor productivity—TFP in particular are identified as the most decisive factors for the rate of income convergence of countries (Islam, 2003). Apparently, depending on whether initial TFP differences decrease or increase over time, income convergence or divergence may be a matter of fact. This has directed researchers’ attention to the concept of technological (TFP) convergence. Although many empirical studies try to find the answer to the question of technological convergence at the country level (Dowrick & Nguyen, 1989; Wolf, 1991; Dougherty & Jorgenson, 1997; Tebaldi, 2016; Rath & Akram, 2019), regional technological convergence is the research area of relatively modest exploration. However, this situation started to change, since the importance of technological convergence and its determinants have progressively gained attention in both the scientific and the policy domains at the regional level (Rodil-Marzábal & Vence- Deza, 2020). In the context of the Lisbon Agenda (European Council, 2000) and the Europe 2020 strategy (Commission of the European Communities, 2010) goals of making Europe and its regions the most competitive and dynamic knowledge-based economies in the world, it seems crucial to find whether innovation, regarded as the main driver of regional TFP growth (Dettori et al., 2012), can stimulate technolog- ical convergence and under what conditions
Understanding Economic Transitions - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: Around 1990, about a quarter of the world’s population lived in middle-income socialist economies and another quarter in high-income and middle-income cap- italist economies. The remainder lived in low-income economies with varying admixtures of planning, markets, and informal exchange institutions. Forty years later, the remaining outposts of socialism are Cuba and North Korea, while a few others (mainly in the former states of the Soviet Union) wallow in the no man’s land of neither functional capitalism nor socialism. The USSR sustained seven decades of statist socialism between 1922 and 1992, Central Eastern Europe (CE) and Southeastern Europe (SEE) for nearly five decades, and China for a little over three decades. By 2000, nearly all have systemically “transitioned” from a centrally-planned economy to some form of a decentrally organized market economy. How and why large parts of Europe, Eurasia, and East Asia transitioned out of the capitalist system in 1917–1952, how they managed to industrialize in non-market settings, and how and why they came back to the capitalist fold are questions comparative economic systems seek to address. Furthermore, this wrenching structural change entailed a concomitant political transition from a monoparty system to an illiberal multiparty system in formerly socialist Europe and the former Soviet Union (FSU). Comparative Economic Systems (CES) focuses on the workings of institu- tional economic mechanisms across economic systems and income levels. CES, at the macro-, meso-, and micro-levels, dwells on the two foundations of an economic system: ownership types for productive assets (state vs. private) and the degree of centralization of decision-making over resource allocation and income distribu- tion (plan vs. market). The conceptual entry points are incentives (known rewards or residual legatee rights) and the sources of discipline (bureaucratic-based or market-based competition). More broadly, Comparative Economics (CE), which is broader than CES, melds the study of economic systems with historical insti- tutionalism and development economics to explore the determinants of prosperity and inequality properties over time and across economic space within a given economic system
algrave Studies in Agricultural Economics and Food Policy - Original PDF
نویسندگان: خلاصه: The key questions which underpin the writing of this collective volume revolve around the concept of resilience and the contribution that this concept plays in the international development agenda, specifically in rela- tion to the issue of food security. Put simply: what does resilience bring that is relevant, useful and different from other previous or contem- porary concepts that have shaped the food security agenda, such as entitlements (Sen, 1981), vulnerabilityآیا کتاب مورد نظر هنوز بر روی سایت قرار نگرفته است؟ جای نگرانی نیست! کافی است بر روی گزینه سفارش کتاب کلیک کرده و درخواست خود را ثبت کنید. در کمتر از چند ساعت کتاب شما را آماده خواهیم کرد.
