        Audio Engineering

        for special events techniciansin training and on the job

        by Christoph Grzesinski. Founded by Dr. Volker Smyrek

        We all know that audio engineering is more than just acronyms. But what do they all mean? This practical textbook is designed to meet the special needs of events technicians. The textbook stands out from the crowd because it is designed specifically with the university curriculum and professional needs in mind, making it not only an excellent companion in the classroom, but a useful reference for on the job as well. The author, himself an instructor for special events technicians, covers the ground from physical fundamentals of acoustics and electronics to setting up mixing consoles and sound systems, providing a multitude of useful tips without confusing the reader with extraneous details. A chapter on video technology rounds off the book. Sample calculations put the material in a practical context, and sample problems at the end of each chapter (with solutions in the appendix) help review what has been learned and inspire further thought. Entertaining guest essays provide a broader perspective.

        Fundamentals of Basal Stimulation® in Nursing

        The Basics

        by Christel Bienstein, Andreas Fröhlich

        Basal stimulation supports people in critical life situations, whose communi­cation and regulation skills are signif­cantly limited or permanently impaired. Perception, communication, and move­ment skills are central to this concept. Basal stimulation is a form of holistic, body­related communication for people with major limitations. The authors Bienstein and Fröhlich demonstrate how carers can address, enable, stimulate, touch and calm peo­ple through sensory provisions. They specifcally describe key elements of nursing with regard to breathing, bath­ing, rubs (ASE), full and partial washes, dressing, support, dental hygiene, mobi­lization, positioning, washing and help in swallowing.

        The ABC of the projectariat

        Living and working in a precarious art world

        by Kuba Szreder

        The ABC of the projectariat contributes new thinking on and practical responses to the widespread problem of precarious labour in the field of contemporary art. It works as both a critical analysis and a practical handbook, speaking to and about the vast cohort of artistic freelancers worldwide. In an accessible ABC format, the book strikes a unique balance between the practical and the theoretical: the analysis is backed up by lived experience, the arguments are rooted in concrete examples and there are suggestions for constructive action. Roughly half of the entries expose the structural underpinnings of projects and circulation, isolating traits such as opportunism, neoliberalism, inequality, fear and cynicism at the root of the condition of the projectariat. This discussion is paired with a practical account of different modes of action, such as art strikes, productive withdrawals, political struggles and better social time machines. Just as proletarians had nothing to lose but their chains, the projectarians have nothing to miss but their deadlines.

        An archaeology of innovation

        Approaching social and technological change in human society

        by Catherine J. Frieman

        An archaeology of innovation is the first monograph-length investigation of innovation and the innovation process from an archaeological perspective. It interrogates the idea of innovation that permeates our popular media and our political and scientific discourse, setting this against the long-term perspective that only archaeology can offer. Case studies span the entire breadth of human history, from our earliest hominin ancestors to the contemporary world. The book argues that the present narrow focus on pushing the adoption of technical innovations ignores the complex interplay of social, technological and environmental systems that underlies truly innovative societies; the inherent connections between new technologies, technologists and social structure that give them meaning and make them valuable; and the significance and value of conservative social practices that lead to the frequent rejection of innovations.

        The malleable body

        Surgeons, artisans, and amputees in early modern Germany

        by Heidi Hausse

        This book uses amputation and prostheses to tell a new story about medicine and embodied knowledge-making in early modern Europe. It draws on the writings of craft surgeons and learned physicians to follow the heated debates that arose from changing practices of removing limbs, uncovering tense moments in which decisions to operate were made. Importantly, it teases out surgeons' ideas about the body embedded in their technical instructions. This unique study also explores the material culture of mechanical hands that amputees commissioned locksmiths, clockmakers, and other artisans to create, revealing their roles in developing a new prosthetic technology. Over two centuries of surgical and artisanal interventions emerged a growing perception, fundamental to biomedicine today, that humans could alter the body - that it was malleable.

        Alphabet des Abschieds

        Roman

        by Urs Faes

        "»Gib sie wieder, sagte sie, als ob es seine Geschichte wäre.«Als ob es unsere Geschichte wäre - so erzählt unaufdringlich leise und bewegend Urs Faes in seinem Roman ›Alphabet des Abschieds‹ die Wiederbegegnung eines Mannes und einer Frau auf der Piazza della Rotonda an einem Spätherbstlichen römischen Novembertag. Nach zwanzig Jahren sehen ein Mann und eine Frau sich in der Ewigen Stadt wieder; Zufall, Fügung oder Schonfrist?»Ein Mann wie Paul.« »Eine Frau wie Nicole.«Als ob es unsere Geschichte wäre: Er, Paul, ein gescheiterter Maler, der sich als Karikaturist und Touristenführer durchs Leben schlägt. Ein exzentrischer Mann, der nicht mehr an Worte glauben kann und die zynische Gleichgültigkeit zur Überlebenssicherung macht; einer, der niemanden mehr liebt, nicht einmal sich selbst, einer, der nur noch den Tod und die sterbende Zeit malen konnte und sonst gar nichts mehr. Aber auch einer, dem unter seinen Maskeraden das Vergessen nicht gelingen will. Sie, Nicole, ist Chorsängerin auf Gastspieltournee.Zögernd lassen Nicole und Paul sich auf die Begegnung und erneute Annäherung ein, suchen sie nach den Worten, m denen sich über die furchtsam weggeschobenen Erinnerungen sprechen läßt.»Wie hast du gelebt all die Jahre?« Unangestrengt und feinfühlig-behutsam stellt Urs Faes seine Fragen, läßt er in Alphabet des Abschieds Nicoles und Pauls Bilder geteilter Biographie und gemeinsamer Zeit vorbeiziehen: die späten sechziger und siebziger Jahre mit ihren erhofften und enttäuschten Lebensentwürfen, die Stationen einer Liebe, deren Zärtlichkeit in immer neuen Abschieden vergeht und schließlich am Vorwurf des »Verrats an der Liebe« scheitert, Pauls Neuanfang in Rom – der Stadt, wo jene Liebe zu Nicole begonnen hat und ein Leben auf Aufschub im Irrlauf durch die Straßen scheitert."
