Kubrick's 2001 - Leonard F. Wheat - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Kubrick's 2001 - Leonard F. Wheat - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Acclaimed in an international critics poll as one of the ten best films ever made, Stanley Kubrick''s 2001: A Space Odyssey has nonetheless baffled critics and filmgoers alike. Its reputation rests largely on its awesome special effects, yet the plot has been considered unfathomable. Critical consensus has been that Kubrick himself probably didn''t know the answers. Leonard Wheat''s Kubrick''s 2001: A Triple Allegory reveals that Kubrick did know the answers. Far from being what it seems to be—a chilling story about space travel—2001 is actually an allegory, hidden by symbols. It is, in fact, a triple allegory, something unprecedented in film or literature. Three allegories—an Odysseus (Homer) allegory, a man-machine symbiosis (Arthur Clarke) allegory, and a Zarathustra (Nietzsche) allegory—are simultaneously concealed and revealed by well over 200 highly imaginative and sometimes devilishly clever symbols. Wheat "decodes" each allegory in rich detail, revealing the symbolism in numerous characters, sequences, and scenes. In bringing Kubrick''s secrets to light, Wheat builds a powerful case for his assertion that 2001 is the "grandest motion picture ever filmed."

The A to Z of the Non-Aligned Movement and Third World - Guy Arnold - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

The A to Z of the Non-Aligned Movement and Third World - Guy Arnold - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

During the long period when the world was divided between East and West and the Cold War threatened to turn hot with devastating consequences, the Non-Aligned Movement was one of the few institutions that consistently sought other outcomes not in its own interest, but that of all humanity. Consisting of over 100 states that are free of any formal alliances with any major power bloc, the Non-Aligned Movement provides aid to those countries striving to gain independence, eliminate poverty, and develop their economy. Just what the Non-Aligned Movement and Third World sought—and at times achieved—is set forth in this unique reference work, with its over 200 cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, organizations, and conferences, as well as the key issues and concepts. Entries are supported by an extensive chronology, an introduction to the movement, and a bibliography for further research.

E-Learning and Business Plans - Elaina Norlin - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

E-Learning and Business Plans - Elaina Norlin - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

With the invention of desktop computers, electronic learning or e-learning has become a convenient learning tool of choice for individuals with busy schedules. For the past several years, there has been a continuous stream of much needed innovation in the use of e-learning and these have now become second nature to both e-learning providers and users. But just as e-learning has enhanced and enriched our lives, challenges have increased as the creation of courses and e-learning material evolve. Technology, although it makes our lives easier, can come with a "not so affordable" price tag. As creators of e-learning content, after raising money to provide a costly e-learning initiative, how do we know if our customers or target audience are really learning? Who is going to maintain the technology? Who will subsidize the upkeep costs? How do we know if there is a better product on the horizon that can do it more cheaply and with more advanced technology infrastructure? E-learning and Business Plans: National and International Case Studies provides a comprehensive view on how to develop non-profit business plans for both small and large-scale e-learning projects. Editors Tiffini Travis and Elaina Norlin present both national and international case studies covering many elements of a typical non-profit business plan and reveal the experiences individuals have had while developing their project. This book will be useful to professionals, non-profit organizations, and academic researchers who are currently considering working on large-scale e-learning or high cost/high risk projects. While many issues are library-related, the book is relevant to non-librarians as well.

The A to Z of Native American Movements - Todd Leahy - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

The A to Z of Native American Movements - Todd Leahy - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Native Americans in the United States, similar to other indigenous people, created political, economic, and social movements to meet and adjust to major changes that impacted their cultures. For centuries, Native Americans dealt with the onslaught of non-Indian land claims, the appropriation of their homelands, and the destruction of their ways of life. Through various movements, Native Americans accepted, rejected, or accommodated themselves to the non-traditional worldviews of the colonizers and their policies. The A to Z of Native American Movements—through a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, a bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, events, and institutions and significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects—is a useful reference on topics dealing with key movements, organizations, leadership strategies, and the major issues Native Americans have confronted.

Music Classification Systems - Mark Mcknight - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Music Classification Systems - Mark Mcknight - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Due to the distinctive nature of music as a separate "language" that non-musicians are often unable to read or understand, the cataloging and classification of music materials frequently present special challenges. In response to this often problematic situation, this volume is designed to introduce the principles of music classification to beginning music catalogers, as well as to non-specialist catalogers, and those who only occasionally deal with music materials. It will surely relieve the stress level for general catalogers by providing practical guidelines as well as clarifying and explaining the most commonly used classification systems in the United States—the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC), the Library of Congress Classification (LCC), and the Alpha-Numeric System for Classification of Recordings (ANSCR). Also included is a general historical overview of music classification, from early attempts to organize specific collections, to the efforts of Oscar Sonneck and others to adapt fundamental principles of classification to the distinctive characteristics of music materials; as well as a discussion of the special needs of the users of those materials.

Shunned and ridiculed by family, friends, and society. Arrested and imprisoned under the worst conditions imaginable. Their struggle lasted seventy-two years, but the right to vote was too precious to let slip away. They were true American heroes—the suffragists. Focusing on the American suffrage movement and its leaders from its beginnings in 1848, when the first Woman''s Rights Convention was held in Seneca Falls, New York, to 1920, when the 19th Amendment was finally ratified and women gained the vote, this book provides a wealth of resources on the woman''s suffrage movement.

They include fiction and non-fiction books, media, web sites, organizations, and also, ideas for implementing this important information into the curriculum. Information on woman''s suffrage efforts in other countries, such as Great Britain, is also included, as are connections to related materials on voting and the Constitution.

Leo Tolstoy - David R. Egan - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Leo Tolstoy - David R. Egan - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

In this quarter-century update of Leo Tolstoy: An Annotated Bibliography of English Language Sources to 1978, authors David and Melinda Egan list the more than 1,200 books, essays, articles and doctoral dissertations written about the great Russian author from 1978 to 2003 (the 175th anniversary of Tolstoy''s birth). In the twenty-five years since the first volume, there has been a remarkable growth in Tolstoy scholarship, including significant developments in feminist, psychological, linguistic, and intertextual studies. Most important, a number of seminal works have emerged which challenge the long-established critical view that Tolstoy was not one writer but two - Tolstoy the artist, who wrote the great classics War and Peace and Anna Karenina, and Tolstoy the moralist and sage, who, during the last three decades of his life, wrote didactic works to propagate his religious, moral and ethical views. The book provides a comprehensive list of English language studies of Tolstoy''s life, art, thought and influence in order to promote awareness of and access to those works that have been written about him since 1977. The authors also include descriptive (non-critical) annotations for the vast majority of sources, allowing users to determine which studies they might find particularly valuable. Divided into nine sections, the book addresses Tolstoy''s novels, the major components of his non-literary life, and his legacy to the world. The book also includes a subject index of several hundred headings to help users navigate their way through its principal sections.

Historical Dictionary of Aid and Development Organizations - Guy Arnold - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Foreign aid, whose growth coincided with the years of the Cold War, is now an accepted part of international relations. This dictionary documents every aspect and phase of aid: the power and influence of the World Bank and IMF; the impact of OPEC; individual government departments responsible for aid; regional and political organizations; the United Nations; and the role of Non-Government Organizations (NGOs). In his wide-ranging introduction, Arnold illustrates the development of foreign aid as a policy tool beginning with the U.S. Marshall Plan and the subsequent development, with the Colombo Plan of 1950, of a new principle in international relations: that the rich, developed countries had a duty and a self-interest in providing economic assistance for poor, less developed countries. Includes bibliography and chronology.

Serious about Series - Silk Makowski - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Teen paperback series, routinely castigated or ignored by Young Adult librarians despite their popularity with young adults, should be considered for inclusion in collections alongside other genres. In Serious about Series, Makowksi provides distinct criteria by which these series can be judged for quality within their genre, and emphasizes them as an inexpensive way to fulfill patron needs and increase circulation by bringing young people, often considered "non-readers," into the library. Makowski''s book is an insightful evaluation of over fifty popular series, and includes an introduction that analyzes the teen series paperback genre and its significance for both teen reading practices and library services. Hundreds of titles are annotated in the book, allowing librarians to develop "in-house" bibliographies of favorite teen series titles, making this a truly useful reference source for the young adult librarian.

Library Collection Development Policies - Richard J. Wood - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

Library Collection Development Policies - Richard J. Wood - Bog - Scarecrow Press - Plusbog.dk

This book represents an ongoing effort to fill the void in the library literature relating to collection development policies. The authors, whose experience each spans four decades as library educators and practitioners, created the book—as well as a forthcoming companion volume devoted to school libraries—to assist both library school students and professionals in the field in the compilation, revision, and implementation of collection development policies. Cutting edge trends such as digital document delivery and library cooperation are also covered. Furthermore, given the premise that a well-rounded policy reflects all activities concerning the collection management process—including the evaluation, selection, acquisition, and weeding of information resources—it is hoped that this work will also prove useful to non-librarians possessing some kind of stake in high quality library holdings, such as library board members, politicians, and administrators directly responsible for library operations, and institutional patrons.
