Описание: This introduction to light for students and visual artists explores the way light can be used to create realistic and fantastical effects in a wide range of media. Divided into three parts, the clearly written text explains: the fundamental properties of natural and artificial light; how to create realistic images by observing people and the environment; the creative use of light in composition and design. Updated with revised photos and artwork, as well as 15 practical exercises and new online video material, this second edition is an indispensable resource for animators, digital illustrators, painters, photographers and artists working in any medium.

Описание: What is Violent Communication? If "violent" means acting in ways that result in hurt or harm, then much of how we communicate--judging others, bullying, having racial bias, blaming, finger pointing, discriminating, speaking without listening, criticizing others or ourselves, name-calling, reacting when angry, using political rhetoric, being defensive or judging who's "good/bad" or what's "right/wrong" with people--could indeed be called "violent communication." What is Nonviolent Communication?Nonviolent Communication is the integration of four things: - Consciousness: a set of principles that support living a life of compassion, collaboration, courage, and authenticity
- Language: understanding how words contribute to connection or distance
- Communication: knowing how to ask for what we want, how to hear others even in disagreement, and how to move toward solutions that work for all
- Means of influence: sharing "power with others" rather than using "power over others" Nonviolent Communication serves our desire to do three things: - Increase our ability to live with choice, meaning, and connection
- Connect empathically with self and others to have more satisfying relationships
- Sharing of resources so everyone is able to benefit

This book contains a thorough derivation of the finite element equations as well as sections on programming the necessary calculations, solving the finite element equations, and using a posteriori error estimates to produce validated solutions. Accessible introductions to advanced topics, such as multigrid solvers, the hierarchical basis conjugate gradient method, and adaptive mesh generation, are provided. Each chapter ends with exercises to help readers master these topics. The book is practical in nature. It includes a carefully documented collection of MATLAB programs implementing the ideas presented. Readers will benefit from a detailed explanation of data structures and specific coding strategies and will learn how to write a finite element code from scratch. Students can use the MATLAB codes to experiment with the method and extend them in various ways.

Описание:
Originally published in 2003, Understanding Aleister Crowley's Thoth Tarot has proved to be the essential guide to accessing the unique symbolism and meaning of Aleister Crowley's remarkable tarot deck along with the deeply textured artwork of Lady Frieda Harris. Crowley authority Lon Milo DuQuette starts by providing an insightful historical background before delving into descriptions of each card in depth, from a tarot perspective and from an expanded, magickal point of view. He first describes the tarot meaning of each card in detail and then explains all the other attributions Crowley intended.
This unique guide has been updated with a new introduction that provides information on the unicursal hexagram cards included with the deck but never explained. Replaces ISBN 9781578632763

"Grandma, what is going to happen to the characters in Understanding Sassie?" Jacob asked. My grandson had enjoyed reading my book but wanted to know more about its characters. He continued his questioning and asked, "Are you going to write more about Sassie and all the other people in the book?" So, I have.
Understanding Sassie, II, starts with some turmoil in the Riverview region. Two teenagers hope to have canine pets, but each faces a different reaction from parents.
A dog thief is in town, looking for victims for his vicious Pit Bull Terrier, Champ, in his illegal dog-fighting exhibitions. Dog-behavior-specialist Millie and her husband, Animal Control Officer Mike, suspect local dogs are being dognapped and abused.
Riverview Animal Shelter makes their dogs available for adoption, but they are rather lax about checking out the people who are adopting them. This needs to change, and quickly, or they are going to be supplying dogs for the dog-fighting operation.
The Shelter runs classes to train the dog owners to train their dogs. Millie explains to the attendees what is being done and why. Even Puppy Play Day has its educational component. Sassie has been trained to be a Diabetic Service Dog; she can tell when her owner is on the edge of a diabetic crisis, and this turns out to save a life.
Families are strange sometimes. People can suddenly discover they are related. A step-brother and step-sister find each other at a particularly providential time.
A hurricane down South leads to complications in providing for the displaced animals at the Shelter.
Two of the adults involved with the Shelter find they have more in common than they first realized. Two others have to deal with a medical emergency.
Sassie brings two shy grown-ups together, to the delight of the young girl who loves her.
In my many years of teaching dog obedience, I have discovered that not all humans understand what the dog is trying to tell them. Although I've enjoyed my opportunities to teach classes on dog communication (the body language of dogs), my goal has always been to reach a wider audience.
I've always enjoyed telling stories. I have discovered that stories can help us to remember and learn valuable information. I hope the reader will find these stories entertaining and informative.
