En Forma Después De Los 50, Francisco Soto Mas

Francisco Soto Mas

De forma habitual uno se olvida de la salud, y sólo nos acordamos de ella cuando la echamos de menos. El trabajo, la familia y en general, la falta de tiempo son las razones esgrimidas por aquellos que no se mantienen físicamente activos. Lo recomendable es hacer ejercicio desde pequeños, pero para aquellos que llegan tarde, lo que pretendemos con este libro es concienciarles de que todavía están a tiempo de ponerse en forma. A través de una doble visión, por un lado la de la medicina y por otro la educación física, hemos intentado informar sobre las enfermedades más …

The Baldwin Effect: An Archeology, David Depew

David J Depew

Abstract: “The Baldwin effect” stands for a wide variety of ways in which learn ing can be conceived as guiding adap tive evolution ary change. An analysis of the history of this notion reveals that it does not reliably refer either to a theory-neutral empirical phenomenon or to a single theoretical hypothesis. On the contrary, articulations of the general idea depend on distinctive, but in commensurable, theoretical backgrounds. In reconstructing the conceptual history of the Baldwin effect I hope to support contemporary explorations of idea by encouraging the articulation of new theoretical frameworks in which it might make sense. I …

Picturing The Past: Media, History, And Photography, Bonnie Brennen, Hanno Hardt

Bonnie Brennen

Photographs shape not only what we remember but also how we remember. Picturing the Past explores the relations between photojournalism and history. Its contributors discuss dramatic changes in the American press's coverage of presidential death from McKinley through Kennedy and the curious distillation of enormous collections of photographs taken during cataclysmic events such as the Civil War and the Holocaust into a handful of images that have become cultural icons. Ranging from the idealization of American life in 1930s photojournalism to the issue of authenticity in documentary photography, these thought-provoking essays examine how photographs influence collective memory, generate a sense …

Go figure. Besides Versus, Driver was at DKNY, BCBG Max Azria, Betsey Johnson and Halston (the black cherry gown she wore at the recent Academy Awards was from Halston Signature Collection by Randolph Duke - and she looked positively ravishing in it).

Loni McKown

Little did Hawkins know he'd end up at the New York women's fall collections, doing hair backstage for two hot fashion shows: languid up- do's at Marc Jacobs and braids at Anna Sui - and with a listing by name under "Special Thanks" in Sui's program.

Loni McKown

We'd surreptitiously sneak through Mother's bureau drawers for silk hose and white kidskin gloves and sparkling costume jewelry or through Daddy's dresser for crisply ironed white handkerchiefs and shiny cufflinks and a Twist-O-Flex metal-band watch. Fur trim Another trend from days gone by, fur trim on collars and cuffs of coats and on jackets, on hems of dresses and skirts, and very chic trimming cashmere sweater sets.

Soured On Big Apple, Day Warmed Indy, Loni Mckown

Loni McKown

[...] did those at the Damien Center, where Don originally went to get solace and ended up giving it himself to others in need. [...] there was his family of seamstresses, who started with him when he returned home in 1983 to ply the fashion trade from the Circle City after success and frustration designing in the Big Apple. The ground-floor, one-room space almost looked like something out of New York - draped fabrics to cover the huge floor-to-ceiling windows; draped fabrics over foam-filled couch cushions; fashion magazines on glass-topped coffee tables, and a loft for the workroom, so his …

Knit-Witty Designs By Sui And Vass Offer Wearability, Loni Mckown

Loni McKown

Just as much fun was veteran Vass, who also showed a terrific collection: the multicolor tweed hand-knit coat with fox collar, gray ottoman drawstring trousers, multicolor tweed basket sweater and coordinating hand-knit hat; the claret cashmere hooded sweater with multi-herringbone long bias skirt; the taupe boucle hand-knit balaclava sweater, taupe zip-front skirt and brown boucle "christopher robin" hat. [...] speaking of those hats, they were as good as the clothes: the goldenrod hand-knit basket hat, the gray tweed pasha hat, the charcoal wave hat, the olive cloche hat, the star-shaped brown beret, the black tweed pulcinello hat.

Lots of roomy relaxed sweaters, coats and jackets played with narrow skirts and lean trousers, the body-conscious knitwear paired with more generous tubular pants and the new flared skirt. [...] with Kors, you can't have too much cashmere - whether double-face, felt or big knit ribs. Who else would embrace such a mix of rich colors and bold patterns and make it all work? A lot to chew on from Norma Kamali: A healthy mix of crunchy carrots, celery, broccoli and cauliflower keeps one in shape, just like Kamali at age 50.

From the shearling "body warmers" (vests) to the mohair twill low-slung pants, from the tweed A-line skirts to the knit cap-sleeve dresses, from the quilted leather hooded coat to the white cotton stretch shirt and …

Don't Bet On It... The Representation Of Gambling In Baseball Cinema, Marshall Most, Robert Rudd

Robert L. Rudd

This paper examines the role of baseball films in the game's ideological war on gambling. While the central purpose behind baseball's strict prohibitions against gambling by players has been to protect the economic interests of team owners, the issue of gambling has been consistently presented in the game's cultural ideology as a moral issue, rather than an economic one. This process serves as a means of disciplining the baseball worker, and as a means of enhancing the game's appeal to middle‐class audiences. Baseball films have been an important site of the construction of this ideology, consistently portraying gambling as a …

Darwinism Evolving: Systems Dynamics And The Genealogy Of Natural Selection, David Depew, Bruce Weber

David J Depew

Darwinism Evolving examines the Darwinian research tradition in evolutionary biology from its inception to its turbulent present, arguing that recent advances in modeling the nonlinear dynamics of complex systems may well catalyze the next major phase of Darwinian evolutionism.While Darwinism has successfully resisted reduction to physics, the authors point out that it has from the outset developed and applied its core explanatory concept, natural selection, by borrowing models from dynamics, a branch of physics. The recent development of complex systems dynamics may afford Darwinism yet another occasion to expand its explanatory power.Darwinism's use of dynamical models has received insufficient attention …

Pragmatism From Progressivism To Post- Modernism, David Depew, Robert Hollinger

David J Depew

American pragmatism can be best understood against the background of 20th-century American culture and politics. The essays in this volume, by philosophers, cultural critics, and historians, explore the development of pragmatism in this context. The emphasis in this volume is on the interrelations between the philosophical or foundational issues raised by pragmatism as a philosophical movement, and the cultural, political, and educational programs that have been associated with pragmatism from James, Dewey, and Mead to Rorty and Cornel West. The book is divided into three parts, reflecting the periods of Progressivism, Positivism, and Postmodernism. The contributors explore the ways in …

Newsworkers: Toward A History Of The Rank And File, Hanno Hardt, Bonnie Brennen

Bonnie Brennen

Focusing on the period from the 1850s through the 1930s, the contributors show how issues of labor and class have been far more important in the formation of media institutions than previous accounts concede. These essays recover the history of ethnic and cultural diversity-including the contributions of women-that have enriched the process of communication.

Depth Of Issue Coverage In Television News: Campaign ‘84, Robert Rudd, Marjorie Fish

Robert L. Rudd

A study of issue coverage in the evening newscasts of ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and PBS during the final two weeks of the 1984 Presidential campaign revealed that the four commercial networks tended to frame their issue coverage in a confrontational style, presenting the image of a conflict about the issues by the candidates. However, these stories often failed to identify the positions of the candidates or to give reasons why the candidates supported a particular position. PBS tended to frame its coverage in a confrontational format, but identified and explained candidate issue positions.

Issues As Image In Political Campaign Commercials, Robert Rudd

Robert L. Rudd

This paper examines the use of “issue” commercials as a means of developing a candidate's image in a political campaign. The study was conducted through a participant‐observation of the 1982 gubernatorial campaign of Republican Phil Batt of Idaho. During the general election campaign the Batt organization employed a series of six “issue” commercials‐television spots which addressed specific policy issues‐in an attempt to build a positive public image for the candidate in three areas: basic human and social values, personality, and leadership. The campaign also sought to erode the popular public image of the incumbent with those same issue messages. This …
