Paperback. Etat : Very Good. "Welfare State International are brilliant at making an audience of strangers into a community" (Guardian) Since its foundation by John Fox in 1968, Welfare State International has developed a unique form of celebratory theatre that reaches popular audiences through remarkable combinations of archetypal and contemporary imagery. This handbook is a guide to the basic techniques of the company's work - the making of processions; large scale puppets and sculptures; fixed structures; fire and ice technology; shadow puppets; processional theatre and dance music - set in a context that explains the thinking behind the work, and describes some past Welfare State International events. This is first and foremost a practical book rather than an academic treatise. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting.

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only. …

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Neuware - In 1979, a young engineer with a one-page resume walked into a Glendale warehouse to help build EPCOT. Nobody had ever tried anything like it before - including them. Journey Into Imagination is the inside story of the engineers who brought EPCOT's legendary Imagination pavilion to life. Not the executives. The engineers - the people in the equipment rooms at three in the morning, covered in concrete dust, trying to find a phantom stop that kept shutting the ride down for reasons no one could explain. Based upon recorded interview sessions with those who were there, and hundreds of pages of original 1982 memoranda, this is a first-source engineering postmortem that turns into a human story. Along the way, you'll discover: - The intern who designed a ride vehicle control system using parts from a Burbank hobby shop- The phantom emergency stop that defied every diagnostic tool they had- The turntable that had to survive X-ray inspection for stress fractures- The memo nobody read - until it was almost too late- The four-word engineering philosophy that became a way of life: 'Yeah, they'll do that'>This isn't a press release. It's an engineering story. And the best engineering stories are always about the people.…

Taschenbuch. Etat : Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book discusses the ways in which engineering educators are responding to the challenges that confront their profession. On the one hand, there is an overarching sustainability challenge: the need for engineers to relate to the problems brought to light in the debates about environmental protection, resource depletion, and climate change. There are also a range of societal challenges that are due to the permeation of science and technology into ever more areas of our societies and everyday lives, and finally, there are the intrinsic scientific and technological challenges stemming from the emergence of new fields of 'technosciences' that mix science and technology in new combinations.In the book, the author discusses and exemplifies three contending response strategies on the part of engineers and engineering educators: a commercial strategy that links scientists and engineers into networks or systems of innovation; an academic strategy that reasserts the traditional values of science and engineering; and an integrative strategy that aims to combine scientific knowledge and engineering skills with cultural understanding and social responsibility by fostering what the author terms a 'hybrid imagination.'Professor Jamison combines scholarly analysis with personal reflections drawing on over forty years of experience as a humanist teaching science and engineering students about the broader social, political and cultural contexts of their fields. The book has been written as part of the Program of Research on Opportunities and Challenges in Engineering Education in Denmark (PROCEED), funded by the Danish Strategic Research Council, for which Professor Jamison has served as coordinator.…
