Written by the man the New York Times called the "king of sound," The Responsive Chord is drawn from an unrivaled wealth of experience in the communications industry. Schwartz has learned that most advertisers, politicians, and educators--in fact, most all of us--use a "model" of communication long outmoded by the coming of electronic media. "The Responsive Chord is a survival kit for those individuals trying to maintain their sanity in a world where their senses and intelligence are bombarded daily by audio and visual stimuli." -- Sander Vancouver "The Responsive Chord certainly gets a big re

Larry May argues that socially responsive individuals need not be self-sacrificing or overly conscientious. According to May, a person’s integrity and moral responsibility are shaped and limited not just by conscience but also by socialization and moral support from the communities to which he or she belongs.Applying his theory of responsibility to professional ethics, May contends that current methods of professional socialization should be changed so that professionals are not expected to ignore considerations of personal well-being, family, or community. For instance, lawyers should n

This new book offers practical insights into the latest developments in responsive polymers, i.e., polymers engineered to alter structure and properties in response to environmental inputs. The book features original design, methodological, and application data. Chemists, biochemists, and electronic engineers will find here important new material to understand and characterize molecular and submolecular assemblies that enable the fabrication of switch-driven polymer systems. Beginning from basic research and moving to single-molecular design, the contributors illuminate switching in sel

The latest title in the V&A Contemporary series looks at groundbreaking interior design, art, and architecture. Responsive environments—spaces that interact with people who use or pass through them—have become ubiquitous lately. Lucy Bullivant provides an intriguing look at these cutting-edge spaces, from an installation in a shopping center that registers passers-by with patterns of colored light and sound, to an interactive artwork in the boardroom of a British TV network. With insights drawn from the author’s interviews with many of the designers featured, Responsive Environment

Clearly demonstrates the specific characteristics that make for comprehensible, friendly and controllable places; ’Responsive Environments’ - as opposed to the alienating environments often imposed today. By means of sketches and diagrams, it shows how they may be designed in to places or buildings. This is a practical book about architecture and urban design. It is most concerned with the areas of design which most frequently go wrong and impresses the idea that ideals alone are not enough. Ideals must be linked through appropriate design ideas to the fabric of the built environem
