Includes specifications for constructing field ice boxes, as well as best practices for usage. The ice box was designed by Bureau of Land Management wildlife biologists and carpenter from Oregon, as a means to keep specimens frozen while conducting wildlife inventories.
Raiding the Icebox is a kaleidoscopic review of the avant-garde and radical subcultures of the twentieth century, and explains how the most powerful artistic statements of the era redrew the line between high and low art. Beginning with an analysis of the role of Diaghilev and the Russian Ballet, Wollen argues that modernism has always had a hidden, suppressed side which cannot easily be absorbed into the master-narrative of modernity. Wollen reviews the hopes, fears and expectations of artists and critics such as the Bauhaus movement, as fascinated by Henry Ford's assembly line as they were by the Hollywood dream factory, concluding with Guy Debord's caustic dystopian vision of an all-consuming "Society of the Spectacle." Finally, Wollen chronicles the emergence of a subversive sensibility as he explores some of the unexpected new cultural forms which non-Western artists are taking as modernism enters into crisis at the beginning of a new century: reversing the rules of the game and raiding the icebox of the West.
A book full of boxes. A box in itself. An unboxing. This book explores boxes in their broadest sense and size. It invites us to step into the field, unravel how and why things are contained and how it might be otherwise. By turning the focus of Science and Technology Studies (STS) to boxing practices, this collation of essays examines boxes as world-making devices. Gathered in the format of a field guide, it offers an introduction to ways of ordering the world, unpacking their boxed-up, largely invisible politics and epistemics. Performatively, pushing against conventional uses of academic books, this volume is about rethinking taken-for-granted formats and infrastructures of scholarly ordering - thinking, writing, reading. It diverges from encyclopedic logics and representative overviews of boxing practices and the architectural organization of monographs and edited volumes through a single, overarching argument. This book asks its users to leave well-trodden paths of linear and comprehensive reading and invites them to read sideways, creating their own orders through associations and relating. Thus, this book is best understood as an intervention, a beginning, an open box, a slim volume that needs expansion and further experiments with ordering by its users.
Majority of introductory courses of the object oriented programming presents a number of object constructions and syntax rules in certain programming language. However, mostly they do not illustrate the explained subject matter on the development of some non-trivial program, which would contain at least 20 mutually connected and cooperating classes.This book tries to fill this gap. It should serve as a basis for repeating the lessons and, at the same time, as a guide leading the students step by step through the development of the text conversation game (adventure), which should correspond to a set of conditions. Simultaneously it should help them to learn how to work with external libraries and frameworks.In the explanation, the passages describing what should be solved alternate with those going through the theory, how similar problem classes are solved, and with those entering the real steps for solving the assigned problem.The application described in this book as well as the framework on which the application stands can be a reasonable inspiration for teachers who search an example for exercise not only at universities but also at a number of secondary schools teaching programming.
Between the Icebox and the Stairs is a coming of age story embedded in memories of a special time and place. In 1985 the authors challenged each other to record their recollections of Tuolumne County as they knew it in the 1950's, a project which eventually led to the creation of the book. When Elizabeth Knuchen, the over-protected daughter of middle-aged parents, purchases her first horse, just two months after her fourteenth birthday, she escapes on horseback, headlong into a new-found freedom of self-reliance, belonging and responsibility within a sub-culture of " summer cowboys " and seasoned packers guiding tourists, fishermen, and hunters into the Emigrant Basin Wilderness. Jarrit Trover, the District Ranger's son, proud owner of real cowboy boots and a hat, is somewhat younger than Liz, and, initially, Liz is his nemesis. Their relationship gradually shifts to a companionable truce, compatibility, and eventually true friendship and a tentative exploration of something more, but is shattered by events beyond their control. What remains is their shared dream of special place in the mountains. Jo DeEds (AKA Joanne Knowles) was born in San Francisco but discovered the magic of the Sierra Nevada in childhood and never really looked back. She attended Stanford University, San Jose State, and the University of San Francisco, garnering a BA, an MA, and some lifetime credentials. She lives in Columbia, California, with an overgrown, unmanageable yard and far too many horses. James L. Reveal (AKA simply as Jim Reveal) is a retired professor of botany who spent thirty years at the University of Maryland and is now an adjunct professor at Cornell University. Born in Reno, Nevada, but raised in California, he moved with his family to the mountain resort of Pinecrest in 1947. Jim attended Utah State University and received his doctorate from Brigham Young University. He is the author of more than 500 scientific papers and books on systematic botany and botanical history.
