Etat : Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Octavo, hardcover, fine in near fine black pictorial dj. 249 pp. plus index. Completes an informal trilogy examining the ramifications of information technology in everyday life. Describes the transformation of wireless technology in the 100 years since Marconi-the scaling up of networks and the scaling down of the apparatus for transmission and reception. This transformation has, changed our relationship with our surroundings and with each other. With increasing frequency, events in physical space reflect events in cyberspace, and vice versa; digital information can, for example, direct the movement of an aircraft or a robot arm. Examines the effects of wireless linkage, global interconnection, miniaturization and portability on our bodies, our clothing, our architecture, our cities and our uses of space and time. a world governed less and less by boundaries and more and more by connections requires us to re-imagine and reconstruct our environment and to reconsider the ethical foundations of design, engineering and planning practice.

Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Unknown. Octavo, softcover, near fine in tan and beige pictorial wraps. The first sensory input in life comes from the sense of touch while a baby is still in the womb, and touch continues to be the primary means of learning about the world throughout infancy, well into childhood. Touch is critical for children's growth, development, and health, as well as for adults' physical and mental well-being. Yet American society, claims Tiffany Field, is dangerously touch-deprived. Field, a leading authority on touch and touch therapy, begins this accessible book with an overview of the sociology and anthropology of touching and the basic psychophysical properties of touch. She then reports recent research results on the value of touch therapies, such as massage therapy, for various conditions, including asthma, cancer, autism, and eating disorders. 181 pp. Book. …

Trade Paperback. Etat : New. An intellectual biography of the cultural critic Reyner Banham.Reyner Banham (1922-88) was one of the most influential writers on architecture, design, and popular culture from the mid-1950s to the late 1980s. Trained in mechanical engineering and art history, he was convinced that technology was making society not only more exciting but more democratic. His combination of academic rigor and pop culture sensibility put him in opposition to both traditionalists and orthodox Modernists, but placed him in a unique position to understand the cultural, social, and political implications of the visual arts in the postwar period. His first book, Theory and Design in the First Machine Age (still in print with The MIT Press after forty years), was central to the overhaul of Modernism, and it gave Futurism and Expressionism credibility amid the dynamism and change of the 1960s.This intellectual biography is the first comprehensive critical examination of Banham's theories and ideas, not only on architecture but also on the wide variety of subjects that interested him. It covers the full range of his oeuvre and discusses the values, enthusiasms, and influences that formed his thinking. An intellectual biography of the cultural critic Reyner Banham.
