Grundlagen der virtuellen Realität: Von der Entdeckung der Perspektive bis zur VR-Brille
by Armin GrasnickDie uns bekannte Realität kann heute mit technischen Verfahren aufgezeichnet und wirklichkeitsgetreu wiedergegeben werden. Raum und Zeit werden in der künstlichen Realität als Kopie wieder virtuell erschaffen. Die Wiedergabe der virtuellen Realität beschränkt sich aber nicht auf die reine Kopie des Vorhandenen. Ein Besucher des virtuellen Raumes muss sich nicht mit dem verpixelten Abbild des Altbekannten begnügen, sondern kann in der Scheinwelt irrealen Erscheinungen begegnen, die real nie existiert haben oder sogar physikalisch unmöglich sind. Das ermöglicht eine Erweiterung der aufgezeichneten Realität und erlaubt die Wahrnehmung überraschend neuer Perspektiven.Eine Perspektive bezeichnet dabei die Wahrnehmung eines Sachverhaltes von einem bestimmten Standpunkt aus und entspricht der Betrachtungsweise. Eine Perspektive ist aber ebenfalls die Beobachtung einer Szene aus einer Betrachtungsposition. Aus verschiedenen Perspektiven entsteht bei der Wiedergabe durch Betrachtung die Illusion der Realität. Diese Vision beruht weder auf Einbildung noch Halluzination, sondern ist die Grundfunktion der virtuellen Realität. In diesem Buch werden die Konzepte, Systeme und Technologien zur Erzeugung der virtuellen Realität von den antiken Anfängen bis in die Gegenwart beschrieben und ein Ausblick in eine mögliche Zukunft gegeben.
Grundy County (Postcard History)
by David A. BeldenIn 1673, Louis Jolliet and Fr. Jacques Marquette were the first Europeans to explore the Mississippi River and the Illinois River valleys. With their canoes loaded with furs, pelts, and other goods on their return trip to Montreal, their explorations through much of the interior of Illinois included encounters with Native American tribes and took them through what is now Grundy County. Over 150 years later, the first permanent residents, including William Marquis, began settling and farming in the area. While the chief occupation of the residents is agriculture, the county also has the Illinois River and the Illinois and Michigan Canal that pass through its northern sections, as well as the Rock Island and the Chicago and Alton Railways. With communities rich in history and small-town charm, Grundy County continues to draw visitors and residents to its towns, parks, museums, rivers, and lakes. Grundy County attempts to reveal this unique county and its sense of community and pride.

The Guantánamo Artwork and Testimony of Moath Al-Alwi: Deaf Walls Speak (Palgrave Studies in Literature, Culture and Human Rights)
by Alexandra S. Moore Elizabeth SwansonDeaf Walls Speak presents an insider’s view of artmaking in Guantánamo, the world’s most notorious prison, as self-expression and protest, and to stage a fundamental human rights claim that has been denied by law and politics: the right to be recognized as human. The book juxtaposes detainee artist Moath al-Alwi’s testimony and artwork with essays that situate his work within legal, political, aesthetic, and material contexts to demonstrate that artwork at Guantánamo constitutes important forms of material witnessing to human rights abuses perpetrated and denied by the U.S. government.
The Guardian of Mercy: How an Extraordinary Painting by Caravaggio Changed an Ordinary Life Today
by Terence WardNow celebrated as one of the great painters of the Renaissance, Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio fled Rome in 1606 to escape retribution for killing a man in a brawl. Three years later he was in Naples, where he painted The Seven Acts of Mercy. A year later he died at the age of thirty-eight under mysterious circumstances. Exploring Caravaggio's singular masterwork, in The Guardian of Shadows and Light Terence Ward offers an incredible narrative journey into the heart of his artistry and his metamorphosis from fugitive to visionary. Ward's guide in this journey is a contemporary artist whose own life was transformed by the painting, a simple man named Angelo who shows him where it still hangs in a small church in Naples and whose story helps him see its many layers. As Ward unfolds the structure of the painting, he explains each of the seven mercies and its influence on Caravaggio’s troubled existence. Caravaggio encountered the whole range of Naples’s vertical social layers, from the lowest ranks of poverty to lofty gilded aristocratic circles, and Ward reveals the old city behind today's metropolis. Fusing elements of history, biography, memoir, travelogue, and journalism, his narrative maps the movement from estrangement to grace, as we witness Caravaggio’s bruised life gradually redeemed by art.
Guardians of Liberty: Freedom of the Press and the Nature of News
by Linda Barrett OsborneThis illustrated introduction to the crucial role of First Amendment rights and press freedom “enlightens and entertains readers of any age” (Michael Dirda, Pulitzer Prize-winning Washington Post critic). Guardians of Liberty explores the essential and basic American ideal of freedom of the press. Allowing the American press to publish—even if what they’re reporting is contentious— without previous censure or interference by the federal government was so important to the Founding Fathers that they placed a guarantee in the First Amendment to the Constitution. Citing numerous examples from America’s past, from the American Revolution to the Vietnam War and the Civil Rights Movement to Obama’s and Trump’s presidencies, Linda Barrett Osborne shows how freedom of the press has played an essential role in the growth of this nation, allowing democracy to flourish. She further discusses how the freedoms of press and speech often work side by side, reveals the diversity of American news, and explores why freedom of the press is still imperative to uphold today. “Nine chapters cover everything from the partisan press in Colonial and Revolutionary America to the incendiary rise of ‘fake news.’ . . . solid research and an engaging structure.” —School Library Journal“An excellent foray into the hows and whys of U.S. press freedom, beginning just prior to nationhood . . . Timely, essential reading.”?Kirkus Reviews (starred review)Includes endnotes, bibliography, and index
Guarding Door County: Lighthouses and Lifesaving Stations
by Stacy Thomas Virginia ThomasJutting out of Wisconsin into the blue waters of Lake Michigan, the scenic peninsula of Door County is endowed with the longest coastline of any county in the nation. Since the mid-1800s, the region has boasted a strong maritime industry, dependent on the constant vigilance and efforts of U.S. Coast Guard units. The county has been home to as many as 12 historic light stations, as well as three life-saving stations. Beginning with Pottawatomie Light in 1837 and Sturgeon Bay Canal Life-Saving Station in 1886, keepers and surfmen survived both boredom and peril to ensure safe navigation and commerce, while rescuing those in distress. Through archival photographs, stories ofshipwrecks, rescues, service, and pride spring to life. Rare rescue images of the Otter, a schooner which wrecked in 1895, are especially noteworthy.

Guernica: La historia de un icono del siglo XX
by Gijs Van HensbergenNueva edición actualizada de la apasionante historia del mítico cuadro Guernica de Pablo Picasso, convertido en un icono del siglo XX gracias a su fuerza simbólica y a su contenido antibelicista. La historia es conocida. El 26 de abril de 1937, docenas de aviones alemanes de la Legión Cóndor bombardearon durante tres horas la ciudad de Gernika destruyéndola y causando centenares de muertos. Este trágico suceso inspiró a Pablo Picasso, uno de los artistas más comprometidos de su tiempo, en acometer la tarea de pintar un cuadro que llegaría a ser síntesis del horror y de la violencia de la cultura occidental moderna y referencia del mundo progresista durante décadas. Guernica se convirtió con el paso del tiempo en uno de los cuadros más famosos de la historia de la pintura, un lienzo profundamente español y universal que durante las largas décadas franquistas se exhibió en Nueva York y que tras la llegada de la democracia, y por expreso deseo del pintor, se puede contemplar en Madrid desde octubre de 1981. Este libro -que incluye un extenso prólogo que actualiza y profundiza sobre el análisis del cuadro ahora que se conmemora el treinta aniversario de su llegada a España- es un apasionante recorrido por la gestación de una obra de arte. Escrito en un estilo accesible, Gijs van Hensbergen recrea el clima y las dificultades del proceso creativo, a la vez que describe con precisión las diferentes etapas y su definitiva composición hasta conseguir una auténtica «biografía de un icono del siglo XX». Paul Preston ha dicho...«Esta historia de un cuadro -cómo se pintó, su significado y su destino final- es un logro extraordinario y aporta una visión sorprendentemente original. El autor recrea con pasión y elegancia la historia de Picasso y su denuncia de la guerra a través de la vida del artista, del exilio republicano, de la España de Franco, del París en guerra y de la Nueva York burguesa para iluminar la travesía de esta obra desde el mismo bombardeo de Gernika hasta su llegada a Madrid en 1981.»

The Guggenheims: A Family History
by Irwin Unger Debi UngerA portrait of a great American dynasty and its legacy in business, technology, the arts, and philanthropyMeyer Guggenheim, a Swiss immigrant, founded a great American business dynasty. At their peak in the early twentieth century, the Guggenheims were reckoned among America's wealthiest, and the richest Jewish family in the world after the Rothschilds. They belonged to Our Crowd, that tight social circle of New York Jewish plutocrats, but unlike the others -- primarily merchants and financiers -- they made their money by extracting and refining copper, silver, lead, tin, and gold.The secret of their success, the patriarch believed, was their unity, and in the early years Meyer's seven sons, under the leadership of Daniel, worked as one to expand their growing mining and smelting empire. Family solidarity eventually decayed (along with their Jewish faith), but even more damaging was the paucity of male heirs as Meyer and the original set of brothers passed from the scene.In the third generation, Harry Guggenheim, Daniel's son, took over leadership and made the family a force in aviation, publishing, and horse-racing. He desperately sought a successor but tragically failed and was forced to watch as the great Guggenheim business enterprise crumbled.Meanwhile, "Guggenheim" came to mean art more than industry. In the mid-twentieth century, led by Meyer's son Solomon and Solomon's niece Peggy, the Guggenheims became the agents of modernism in the visual arts. Peggy, in America during the war years, midwifed the school of abstract expressionism, which brought art leadership to New York City. Solomon's museum has been innovative in spreading the riches of Western art around the world. After the generation of Harry and Peggy, the family has continued to produce many accomplished members, such as publisher Roger Straus II and archaeologist Iris Love.In The Guggenheims, through meticulous research and absorbing prose, Irwin Unger, the winner of a Pulitzer Prize in history, and his wife, Debi Unger, convey a unique and remarkable story -- epic in its scope -- of one family's amazing rise to prominence.
