<p>The authors define wayfinding as "the strategies that people use to find their way in familiar or new settings, based on their perceptual and cognitive abilities and habits," and they cite the practical and commercial advantages gained by improving wayfinding facilities, since people often decide where to shop by the level of difficulty it takes to get there. They demonstrate that wayfinding, to be effective, must take into account architectural, graphic, aural, and tactile components, and they explain how these elements can be used separately and together to ensure wayfinding success. Drawing and diagrams amplify and clarify the commentary throughout. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.</p>

This study offers a brief introduction to the Northern Ireland problem and its proposed solutions since 1968, concentrating on five main areas: society trends and attitudes, loyalism and republicanism - the relevance of religious affiliations; economy - the effect of deindustrialization in a peripheral region; politics - the virtual absence of conventional secular politics; security, including the role of intelligence; and the international context - how competing nationalisms attract outside support.

Line Of Sight: American Avant-Garde Film Since 1965

Univ. of Minnesota Press

For three decades, Paul Arthur has been a leading observer and critic as well as a direct participant in America’s avant-garde cinema. In A Line of Sight, he provides a sweeping new account of the extravagant energies of American experimental cinema since 1965. Balancing close analysis of both major and lesser-known films with detailed examinations of their production, distribution, and exhibition, Arthur addresses the avant-garde’s cultural significance while offering a timely reconsideration of accepted critical categories and artistic options. Rather than treating American avant-garde cinema as a series of successive artistic breakthroughs, A Line of Sight emphasizes the importance of social and institutional networks, material exchanges, and historical disruptions and continuities. Throughout, Arthur pays close attention to themes and visual practices neglected or underrepresented in previous studies, scrutinizing portraiture as a vehicle for projecting dissident identities, highlighting the essay film and the contemporary city symphony, and assessing the contributions of regional and African American filmmaking to the avant-garde. He also explores thematic and formal questions that have been central to the avant-garde achievement: experimental film's relationship with mainstream narrative cinema and postwar American painting as well as the legacy of sixties’s counterculture; the uses and theoretical implications of found footage and the allegorizing of technology; and the schism between a poetic, expressive cinema and the antisubjective, rationalist bias of structural filmmaking. Amid the current resurgence of experimental filmmakers and the emergence of a new audience for their work, A Line of Sight reaffirms the extraordinary breadth and diversity of the avant-garde tradition in America.

This book should be of interest to university engineering libraries.

Although recent events are testing its durability, the Good Friday Agreement of 1998 has been hailed as a triumph of Anglo-Irish diplomacy. But why did it take thirty years of intense conflict to reach an understanding of the problem before a solution could be implemented?In this book, centuries-old misperceptions between the two islands are scrutinised and recent seismic shifts examined, including the changing nature of Irish nationalism and the role of Irish-America in both shaping and resolving the conflict.This is a study by a distinguished observer, persuasively demonstrating how even the most intractable conflicts can be made more malleable. It will prove invaluable to readers interested in British and Irish politics, ethnic conflict and conflict transformation.
