Book Description
Material (as in' concrete': glassine -- O liquid ) but abstract, say Miro in dialogue with Picasso. That is they're pretty painterly, the poems, with images that flow past one changing into words ...pixels ...serifs. Domestic, lyric, amorous -- well why not? Cracked, however, like the liberty bell. One can actually read them and be there, just reading, seeing (like you're really there, really really there. You get to stay yourself.) Steinlike (as in glasses), stained. Stunning. His best book yet. --Alice Notley

ISBN: 9781999618933
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
This book will serve you well if: You're new to traditional stained glass painting and are uncertain which brushes, paints and tools to buy - this book will tell you what you want to know. The accompanying 12 free videos will also introduce you to the key techniques. You've painted stained glass for a while but still worry "Is it my lack of skill which is the problem, or is it my brushes, paints and tools which stop me achieving the results I want?" - this book will guide you to the answer. And the 23 free designs will give you an excellent resource with which to practise. You're a teacher who wants your students to experience the joy of mastering this wonderful craft - this book will show you the smallest, most effective set of brushes, paints and tools to place before them so they can triumph. From designers and painters Williams & Byrne, and featuring entries from the journal of the forgotten Victorian craftsman Nathaniel Somers, this book will demonstrate how few possessions you really need to paint stained glass. This is Book 1 of The Glass Painter's Method.

Physics for Animators
Author: Michele Bousquet
Publisher: CRC Press
ISBN: 1135016534
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 819
Book Description
Achieving believable motion in animation requires an understanding of physics that most of us missed out on in art school. Although animators often break the laws of physics for comedic or dramatic effect, you need to know which laws you’re breaking in order to make it work. And while large studios might be able to spend a lot of time and money testing different approaches or hiring a physics consultant, smaller studios and independent animators have no such luxury. This book takes the mystery out of physics tasks like character motion, light and shadow placement, explosions, ocean movement, and outer space scenes, making it easy to apply realistic physics to your work. Physics concepts are explained in animator’s terms, relating concepts specifically to animation movement and appearance. Complex mathematical concepts are broken down into clear steps you can follow to solve animation problems quickly and effectively. Bonus companion website at www.physicsforanimators.com offers additional resources, including examples in movies and games, links to resources, and tips on using physics in your work. Uniting theory and practice, author Michele Bousquet teaches animators how to swiftly and efficiently create scientifically accurate scenes and fix problem spots, and how and when to break the laws of physics. Ideal for everything from classical 2D animation to advanced CG special effects, this book provides animators with solutions that are simple, quick, and powerful.

How Glass Changed the World
Author: Seth C. Rasmussen
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642281834
Category : Technology & Engineering
Languages : en
Pages : 89
Book Description
Glass production is thought to date to ~2500 BC and had found numerous uses by the height of the Roman Empire. Yet the modern view of glass-based chemical apparatus (beakers, flasks, stills, etc.) was quite limited due to a lack of glass durability under rapid temperature changes and chemical attack. This “brief” gives an overview of the history and chemistry of glass technology from its origins in antiquity to its dramatic expansion in the 13th century, concluding with its impact on society in general, particularly its effect on chemical practices.

Structural Glasses and Supercooled Liquids
Author: Peter G. Wolynes
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 0470452234
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 422
Book Description
With contributions from 24 global experts in diverse fields, and edited by world-recognized leaders in physical chemistry, chemical physics and biophysics, Structural Glasses and Supercooled Liquids: Theory, Experiment, and Applications presents a modern, complete survey of glassy phenomena in many systems based on firmly established characteristics of the underlying molecular motions as deduced by first principle theoretical calculations, or with direct/single-molecule experimental techniques. A well-rounded view of a variety of disordered systems where cooperative phenomena, which are epitomized by supercooled liquids, take place is provided. These systems include structural glasses and supercooled liquids, polymers, complex liquids, protein conformational dynamics, and strongly interacting electron systems with quenched/self-generated disorder. Detailed calculations and reasoned arguments closely corresponding with experimental data are included, making the book accessible to an educated non-expert reader.
