Taylor & Francis Inc Visual Communication Integrating Media Art and
Book SynopsisA well-rounded education in the 21st century requires not just verbal and mathematical proficiency, but also the ability to interpret, critique, create, and use visual communication on sophisticated levels. In todayâs visual world, it is critically important to hold an appreciation for the profound effects imagery has on individuals and the communities in which they live.Visual Communication focuses on cultivating visual and media literacy from both consumption and production points of view and introduces students to the application of intuitive intelligence to a visual context. Innovative in its field, it provides a solid theoretical overview of the most advanced thinking and research about visual communication, teaching readers how to apply theory to enhance their understanding of and work with images.This book is intended for students in visual literacy and communication courses. It can also be used in photojournalism courses and other coursework with a visual component. Individuals interested in mass media studies will likewise find the book to be a worthwhile read.Trade Review“An intelligent and beautifully illustrated book on how visual communication helps us achieve intellectual and intuitive literacy. A well-researched treatise that instantly shows what Omniphasism and Integrative Mind are all about. What Fritjof Capra tired to do in the Tao of Physics three decades ago, the authors have accomplished here: to bring rational and intuitive intelligences into balance and to help us reconcile our inner and outer vision for a higher state of awareness and a richer state of life.” -- Herb Zettl, San Francisco State University“Drawing on their extensive experience as visual artists, educators, and researchers, the authors have produced a book that will inform and stimulate any reader who wants to gain a better understanding of the ways in which our minds make sense of visual images. This is a work of mature scholarship, containing a new theory of visual communication as well as a synthesis of prior research. A valuable addition to the visual studies literature.” — Paul Messaris, University of Pennsylvania, Annenberg School of Communication“This is an important and truly beautiful book, one that is personally and professionally useful, as well as theoretically advanced. In it, Williams and Newton synthesize key theories in neurology, art and visual communication as a platform for the concept of an integrative, balanced mind. Filled with insights and practical exercises to achieve this balance, this book suggests that the truly integrated mind finds an equilibrium between intuition and reason that leads to both a fuller way of life and a philosophical outlook with vast educational and cultural implications.” — Ann Marie Barry, Boston College"Rick Williams and Juliana Newton are two of the most accomplished theorists in the wide field of visual communication. Their years of experience as educators and photographers combine in a well developed and important theory of intuitive intelligence. Additionally the exercises they have created and tested in their own courses illuminate for students ways to access visual intelligence, creativity and the whole mind. The book is a strong argument for inclusion of courses in visual communication and visual literacy in the liberal arts curriculum. Especially valuable are the examples and historical review of the intersections between science and art as performed in the highly mediated culture in which we live and learn. All of us have something to learn from this text." -- Diane S. Hope, William A. Kern Professor in Communications, Rochester Institute of Technology“A challenging book because it presents a thorough review of theory and research in visual communication. An eloquent book because it demonstrates the beauty and process of visual communication through illustrations and many creative exercises. It integrates the art and science of visual communication and is a testimony to the power and insights of Omniphasism—the underlying theory on which this work is based and which explores an integrative balance in ways of thinking and knowing, both rational and intuitive. Visual Communication breaks new ground in textbook writing by bringing alive the creative and mind-stretching classroom exercises that these professors have developed for their own instructional use. It helps rational thinkers learn to break through to their intuitive side through experiential learning. You have to do more than read about it to open up the intuitive side of the brain. Every student, whatever the learning or thinking style, expands individual potential in a personal and private journey through these broadening exercises.” — Sandra Moriarty, University of ColoradoTable of ContentsPREFACE.

Taylor & Francis Pragmatic Development
Book SynopsisThe pragmatic system consists of the rules for appropriate and communicatively effective language use. Pragmatic Development provides an integrated view of the acquisition of all the various pragmatic subsystems, including expression of communicative intents, participation in conversation, and production of extended discourse.For the first time, the three components of the pragmatic system are presented in a way that makes clear how they relate to each other and why they all fall under the rubric pragmatics. Ninio and Snow combine their own extensive work in these three domains with an overview of the field of pragmatic development, making clear how linguistic pragmatics relates to other aspects of language development, to social development, and to becoming a member of one''s culture. This book is bound to be a valuable text for advanced courses in language acquisition as well as useful supplementary reading for an introductory course.Table of ContentsIntroduction: What Is Pragmatics? -- The Communicative Uses of Speech -- Prelinguistic Communication and the Transition to Speech -- The First Stage of Speech Use -- The Acquisition of a Verbal-Communicative Repertoire -- Participation in Verbal Interaction -- Children as Conversationalists -- The Pragmatics of Connected Discourse

Taylor & Francis Human Spatial Cognition and Experience
Book SynopsisThis book offers students an introduction to human spatial cognition and experience and is designed for graduate and advanced undergraduate students who are interested in the study of maps in the head and the psychology of space. We live in space and space surrounds us. We interact with space all the time, consciously or unconsciously, and make decisions and actions based on our perceptions of that space. Have you ever wondered how some people navigate perfectly using maps in their heads while other people get lost even with a physical map? What do you mean when you say you have a poor sense of direction? How do we know where we are? How do we use and represent information about space?This book clarifies that our knowledge and feelings emerge as a consequence of our interactions with the surrounding space, and show that the knowledge and feelings direct, guide, or limit our spatial behavior and experience. Space matters, or more specifically space we perceive matters. Trade Review"This book gives us a readable and comprehensive overview of a fast-developing interdisciplinary field. An excellent introduction for beginners, a welcome refresher for working scientists."—Nora S. Newcombe, Laura H. Carnell Professor of Psychology and James H. Glackin Distinguished Faculty Fellow, Temple University, USA"This book is a timely addition to the literature on spatial and environmental cognition and experience. In this era of nearly unbridled enthusiasm for what neuroscience can reveal, Toru’s book reminds us that mind and behavior are not just in the brain, but in the brain and nervous system in the body in the physical and sociocultural world."—Daniel R. Montello, Professor of Geography, University of California, Santa Barbara, USA"Toru Ishikawa presents an excellently written and concise account of research done on human spatial cognition. The book covers a full range of topics including motivation and history through methodological issues, empirical results to applications, and societal implications. A great introduction to the fascinating field of spatial cognition. The book should be read by everyone interested to understand how we know where we are."—Christian Freksa, Professor for informatics and director of the Bremen Spatial Cognition Center, University of Bremen, GermanyTable of ContentsPreface List of Figures List of Tables 1.
