Book SynopsisA witty and warm-hearted novel about a trans teen finding his place in the world perfect for fans of Red, White and Royal BlueThere’s only one thing standing between Finch Kelly and a full-blown case of high school senioritis: the National Speech & Debate Tournament. Taking home the gold would not only be the pinnacle of Finch’s debating career, but the perfect way to launch himself into his next chapter: college in Washington, DC, and a history-making career as the first trans congressman. What could possibly go wrong? Well, for starters, Finch could develop a teeny tiny crush on his very attractive, very taken, and very gay debate partner, Jonah. Never mind that Finch has never considered whether he’s interested in more than just girls. And that dream of college in DC? Finch hasn’t exactly been accepted anywhere yet, let alone received the full-ride scholarship he''ll need to make this dream a reality.

ACC Art Books Edward Bawden and Eric Ravilious: Design
Book SynopsisAn excellent introduction to the work of two British designers Edward Bawden (1903-1989) and Eric Ravilious (1903-1942). This fascinating book illustrates every aspect of their creativity, featuring designs for wallpaper, posters, book jackets, trade cards and Wedgwood ceramics, to name but a few. Design opens with an informed and engaging essay by Peyton Skipwith, who, from the late 1960s, acted as Edward Bawden's principal dealer. Bawden and Ravilious both attended the Design School of the Royal College of Art. It was here that they met and started to experiment with print-making - marking the beginning of an extremely creative but tragically short-lived friendship. Ravilious was killed at the age of thirty-nine in an air-sea rescue mission during the Second World War; Edward Bawden survived him by forty-six years. 'Exquisite ...

ACC Art Books Paul Nash and John Nash: Design
Book SynopsisThe brothers Paul and John Nash, in their very different ways, were a major influence on twentieth century British design. Paul Nash (1889-1946) is now recognised as the most significant war artist of the last century; John Nash (1893-1977) as a plantsman artist. Both worked as designers and as tutors at the Royal College of Art, Paul encouraging a generation of designer artists that included Eric Ravilious, Edward Bawden and Enid Marx. As a committee member of the Design and Industries Association and President of the newly formed Society of Industrial Artists (now the Chartered Society of Designers) Paul promoted design as no less an art form than the fine arts of painting and sculpture. His clients included London Transport, Shell and Curwen Press and publishers the Nonesuch and Golden Cockerel Presses. John became well known for his Edward Lear influenced humorous illustrations and his superb plant drawings and wood engravings that illustrate innumerable books and publications. Paul Nash and John Nash, Design features over 150 illustrations, including graphic design, textile design, ceramics and glass, many not reproduced before.

ACC Art Books E. Mcknight Kauffer: Design
Book SynopsisEdward McKnight Kauffer (1890-1954) was the most celebrated graphic designer working in Britain in the twentieth century. Born in Montana, he left America before the first world war to travel throughout Europe absorbing the influences of the Cubists and the German poster artist Ludwig Hohlwein. At the onset of war he settled in London. Seeing himself as a painter, he allied himself with the London Group and the Vorticists. He worked at Roger Fry's Omega Workshops with Vanessa Bell and Duncan Grant, and in 1915 was commissioned by Frank Pick, then the publicity manager at London Underground. This was the beginning of a client-designer relationship that lasted throughout the 1920s and '30s, only ending when Kauffer returned to New York in 1940. His posters, brilliantly coloured and strikingly modern, struck London like a Cubist thunderbolt.

Book SynopsisPainter and illustrator Edward Bawden’s five scrapbooks, assembled over a period of more than 55 years, contain everything from stamps, photographs, cigarette cards, Christmas cards and letters to newspaper cuttings, drawings and autographs, amongst other fascinating ephemera. Beautifully designed and illustrated with over 250 images taken from these books, Edward Bawden Scrapbooks reveals this wonderful and at times eccentric collection and provides a new insight into one of the most popular artists of 20th-century Britain.The pages illustrated provide an alternative window into Bawden’s world, showing his very conscious awareness of both Surrealism and the work of other contemporary designers and typographers. But it is not only aficionados of Bawden who will be beguiled by these scrapbooks: perusing them is like trawling through an almanac of art, design and literature of the inter- and post-war years and the work of other key artists of the era such as Ben Nicholson, David Jones, Evelyn Dunbar, Eric Ravilious and Hugh Casson also appears. Some pages are beautiful, some instructive and others simply baffling but when taken in conjunction with Bawden’s watercolours, prints, illustrations, murals and other designs, the scrapbooks are the closest thing we have to an autobiography of one of the 20th-century’s most reclusive and English of artists.Trade Review'A wondrous almanac of one man’s sensibility' * Guardian *Table of ContentsIntroduction; Scrapbook A; Scrapbook B; Scrapbook C; Scrapbook D; Scrapbook E; Personalities; Chronology

Nova Science Publishers Inc Cognitive Radio: Terminology, Technology &
Book SynopsisCognitive radio is a radio that can sense, learn and adapt to the surrounding environment according to its inner and outer stimuli. A primary feature of cognitive radios is the ability to adapt the transmission parameters given a dynamic wireless environment. In this book, the cognitive radio adaptation is formalised and four evolutionary algorithms are explored and used to intelligently solve this problem and determine the optimal parameters for a given situation. Moreover, the authors of this book limit the scope of cognition to reduce mutual interference between CR-based rental (unlicensed) users and licensed users (LUs) and in providing coexistence between them. The modulation strategies employed to realise a co-existence between the CR-based rental system and the licensed system are introduced. In addition, a novel dynamic spectrum sharing scheme combining spectrum adaptation and MIMO-OFDM for cognitive radio system is proposed. In order to improve spectrum efficiency and reduce computational complexity, a simple power allocation algorithm is proposed as well. Other chapters report recent results on policy-based self-management towards self-adaptive and Cognitive Radio Systems (CRS). Its focus is not on self-properties of cognitive radio systems but on self-learning policy and cognition.

Liss Llewellyn John Cecil Stephenson: a Modernist in Hampstead
Book SynopsisBy the end of John Cecil Stephenson’s art school training – first a scholarship to Leeds Art School then to The Royal College of Art – he was in a position to produce still lives, landscapes and portraits in a professional capacity. Like many painters of his generation, who had received similarly conventional instruction, he became a competent teacher, appointed in 1922, as Head of Art at The Northern Polytechnic. In this mould Stephenson might have remained a largely undistinguished painter – but in the early 1930s he found himself at the centre of a group of artists with avant-garde credentials, and his own art underwent a remarkable transformation. By 1934 he was exhibiting groundbreaking works such as Mask (CAT. 7), at the 7 & 5 Society, and in 1937 was a key contributor to the watershed publication and exhibition Circle, where his work was showcased alongside that of luminaries such as Kazimir Malevich, Le Corbusier, Fernand Léger, Alberto Giacometti and Pablo Picasso. What led Stephenson to become, in the words of the celebrated art critic Herbert Read, ‘one of the earliest artists in the country to develop a completely abstract style’? Between March 1919 and November 1965, John Cecil Stephenson lived in London at No. 6 Mall Studios, off Tasker Road, Hampstead. As the father figure of what Read christened ‘a nest of gentle artists’, his next door neighbours included, during the course of the decade leading up to World War II, Barbara Hepworth, John Skeaping, Ben Nicholson and Henry Moore. Such fertile ground was further enriched by visits from artists fleeing persecution – including Piet, László Moholy-Nagy and Alexander Calder – just a few of the many internationally acclaimed artists who, whilst passing through London, formed part of the art set who congregated around Read’s house at No. 3 Mall Studios.

With clear and lively writing, author Peyton Paxson defines media terms succinctly and provides many apt and memorable examples. As a marketing and consumption historian, I particularly like the historical accounts featured in several chapters. Yet, the book is also quite timely including discussions of fake news, trolling, cybersquatting, crowd sourcing and funding, and revenge porn and sexting. As a teacher of international business, I welcome the many brief “global perspectives” sections and the final chapter on the interface between globalization and mass communications. For students, the book discusses potential careers and raises good end of chapter questions for critical thinking and discussion. -- Terrence H. Witkowski * Professor of Marketing and Director, International Business Program, California State University, Long Beach, USA *The short and pointed approach to the chapter structure was excellent, and I liked the organization of the book .I am very happy that I found this text, and I am glad that such a basic yet broad introductory text is available. The book fills a unique position in the market; it is the only intro-level communication textbook that I have seen that is affordable, short and to the point, and approachable, even for students who do not have any formal training in (or knowledge of) communication or media studies. * Ryan Eanes, Assistant Professor of Business Management and Director of Minor in Marketing, Washington College, USA *Table of ContentsSection One - An Overview of Mass Communications 1: Mass Communications and Contemporary Culture 2: Media Literacy 3: Advertising Section Two - Traditional Media 4: Print Media 5: Movies and Video 6: Music and Radio 7: Television Section Three - Emerging Media 8: The Internet 9: Social Media and Interactive Media Section Four - Changes, Trends, and the Future 10: Convergence and Disaggregation 11: The Legal Environment 12: Globalization Notes Glossary Index

ACC Art Books Claud Lovat Fraser: Design
Book SynopsisThe Design series is the winner of the Brand/Series Identity Category at the British Book Design and Production Awards 2009, judges said: "A series of books about design, they had to be good and these are. The branding is consistent, there is a good use of typography and the covers are superb." Claud Lovat Fraser - universally known as Lovat - is one of the great unsung heroes of twentieth-century British design. During his short life of just thirty-one years, five of which were disrupted by the Great War, he achieved an astonishing amount of work as draughtsman, watercolourist, caricaturist, publisher, illustrator, designer of stage-sets, toys and fabrics: he also designed silks for Liberty's, cretonnes for Foxton's, advertising material for Eno's, MacFisheries, Gurr Johns and Atkinson's, and book-jackets for Heinemann and Nelson, among others. His inimitable style and psychedelic palette became the hallmark of both the Curwen Press and the Poetry Bookshop, but he is best remembered today, by those who are aware of him at all, for his poster, costume and set-designs for Nigel Playfair's 1920 production of The Beggar's Opera at the Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith.

ACC Art Books Harold Curwen and Oliver Simon Curwen Press:
Book SynopsisThe finest books produced during the quarter century prior to the outbreak of the Great War were almost invariably printed by the private presses, but post-war, with the development of new technology, the accolade of excellence passed into the hands of a small number of commercial firms, with the Curwen Press very much to the fore. Like those earlier printers, Harold Curwen was inspired by the Morrisian ideal, but he did not adhere to the tenet that 'hand made' was necessarily better than 'machine made', which led him to become one of the pioneering figures in the technical revolution that transformed the printing industry. Harold Curwen joined the family firm in 1908 and by 1916 had instigated a general replanning of the works and, aided by the wartime staff shortage, felt able to push ahead with the installation of modern machinery. He was in the forefront of the development of offset lithography, which ensured that the Curwen Press would be in the vanguard of fine colour printing throughout the next decade. Harold also pioneered, as far as England was concerned, the pochoir technique of hand-stencilling. 1922 was the beginning of the Curwen Press's golden decade, during which it produced The Woodcutter's Dog, the English language edition of Julius Meier-Graefe's two volume biography of Van Gogh for the Medici Society, the exhibition catalogue of books and manuscripts for The First Edition Club, Goldoni's Four Comedies and the delightful little pocket engagement book, The Four Seasons, illustrated by Albert Rutherston. Rutherston was later to illustrate Thomas Hardy's Yuletide in a Younger World, the first of the Ariel Poems for Faber & Gwyer which were to become a feature of the collaboration between the two firms. In addition there was the 'Safety First' Calendar, adorned with Lovat Fraser's cautionary illustrations. Following restructuring in 1933 the Curwen Press had a further forty years of distinguished work ahead both in the printing of books, particularly those illustrated by Barnett Freedman, as well as jobbing work, including some of the finest posters for the London Underground by Bawden, Wadsworth, John Banting, Betty Swanwick, Barnett Freedman and others.

Rowman & Littlefield I am Intelligent From Heartbreak to HealingA
Book SynopsisA gripping look into the lives of a mother obsessed with curing her child of autism and a daughter who retains full awareness of her situation.Trade ReviewFrom Publishers Weekly This book recounts how Peyton Goddard overcame the physical and mental obstacles of severe autism. Peyton's inability to verbally communicate or control her body led to continual misdiagnoses, pity, and segregation from normal education and society. After suffering 21 years of mistreatment, neglect, and disturbing abuse by those supposed to aid her—extended family, doctors, and teachers—Peyton is finally given the chance to express her intelligence and awareness. Through her use of facilitated communication, by which noncommunicative people speak via computer keyboard, Peyton is finally freed not only from her bodily restraints but also from society's pitiful image projected upon her. The book details the Goddard family's extreme highs and lows in dealing with Peyton's progress through fluid narratives from the perspective of her mother, Dianne, interspersed with Peyton's own poetic reactions. From years of being dismissed by the education system as lacking the ability to learn, to eventually graduating from college as valedictorian, Peyton proves that inclusion of disabled people is necessary for their livelihood and growth, regardless of the challenge it presents to society. This debut memoir allows Peyton Goddard to further achieve her goal of helping others in similar positions by spreading her "voice" by virtue of text, the very thing that saved her. (June) "From the moment I heard Peyton's writings, I have been blessed to experience an opening and understanding about the world and humans beyond what most people know or express. The journey of this family is a teaching of extraordinary love and all the mountain ranges that it can move. Families like the Goddards and those that support them are the teachers of this kind of beautiful challenging journey beyond normal life into the realm of deep dedication to communication. Most people take communication for granted. For some it is a simple task, mastered in an automatic, unconscious way. For some it is a quest. But for all, it is a basic component for a fulfilling meaningful life. I will always be grateful to Peyton for sharing her thoughts and feelings. She is a master teacher of the heart."—Laura San Giacomo, mother, actor, and advocate "I Am Intelligent reads like a beautiful, well-crafted novel. A mother and daughter are separated by an abyss of communication challenges, fear and pain—and an ocean of misinformation. They journey to a deep connection with love, perseverance and courage. This book will change your notion of autism and loving relationships."—Dr. Anne M. Donnellan, University of San Diego Autism Institute "This well written and remarkable work by Peyton and her mother Dianne is essential not only to the field of autism, but to those working with communication disabilities, those treated severely traumatized people with developmental disabilities, and those championing human rights and fighting for self advocacy and equality." —Donna Williams, author of Nobody Nowhere: The Remarkable Autobiography of an Autistic Girl "I Am Intelligent humbles and teaches. Dianne's tenacity and determination to reach her daughter and her refusal to give up, for over two decades, is nothing short of miraculous. Equally remarkable is her courage in writing so honestly about her parenting. Peyton's prose is unlike anything you've ever read: lyrical, poetic, cutting right to the heart. You don't read it so much as feel it. Savor it for its beauty, its power, and for its ultimate message of unity, inclusion and universal love." —Claire and Mia Fontaine, authors of Come Back: A Mother and Daughter's Journey Through Hell and Back
