Hot on the heels of a series of articles published in IdN Magazine
in 2005, is Neo-Photo, a photography book that is like no other.
This is an amazing survey of work created by a new generation of
photographers who use digital technology to combine the disciplines
of graphic design and film aesthetics. The images that result are
incredible indeed. Co-edited by parissydneytokyo, Neo-Photo
features a collection of international artists whose work pushes
the boundaries of the photographic medium and challenges the
traditional rules, approaches and perceptions of this demanding art
form. Photographers of note include Shun Kawakami, Jola Kudela,
Frank le Petit, Guillaume Dimanche plus many other great talents.
In an age in which fears about the future predominate (in the form
of dystopias, ecological catastrophes and terrifying Sci-Fi
scenarios), utopia is reappearing as the bearer of hope for the
fate of humanity. Latin America has historically been a fertile
ground where utopian projects, movements and experiments could take
root and thrive, and this constitutes one of the regions major
contributions to world history. Each of the thirteen authors who
participate to this collective volume address a particular case or
specific aspect of Latin American utopianism from colonial times to
the present day. The relationship between utopia and America --
Latin America in particular -- has been a constant throughout the
ages and helps to clarify both the concept of Utopia and of Latin
America. The one cannot be understood without the other, from the
book of Thomas More in 1516 to the present. Myths and legends of
utopian content already proliferated at the time of the voyages of
exploration, spurring on the conquistadors, while the knowledge gap
about lands awaiting discovery was filled with stories about
utopias. The America that the Spanish and Portuguese discovered
became, from the sixteenth century onwards, a space in which it was
possible to imagine the widest variety of forms of human
coexistence. Utopias in Latin America reconsiders the sense and
understanding of utopias in various historical frames: the
discovery of indigenous cultures and their natural environments;
the foundation of new towns and cities in a vast colonial territory
considered as empty space in which it was possible to start afresh;
the experimental communities of nineteenth-century utopian
socialists and European exiled intellectuals; and the innovative
formulae that attempts to get beyond twentieth-century capitalism.

Now every parent, grandparent, or teacher can explain to a child
the difference between appropriate and inappropriate touching in a
way that young boys and girls can understand. As a child, there are
constantly people trying to pick you up, hug you, or tickle you.
Sometimes, though, children fall victims to people who try to touch
them inappropriately. But how do you tell someone, most likely an
adult, that you don't want to be touched? Or, if it has already
happened, how do you tell an adult you trust about what happened?
You're only a child, and they're the adults. Why would they believe
you? My Body Belongs to Me from My Head to My Toes is an
educational tool to help instill confidence in children when it
comes to their bodies. The narrative of the story is led by a girl
named Clara, who encourages kids to say "no" if they are
uncomfortable with physical contact. The narrator gives readers
tips about what they can say or do to avoid unwanted physical
contact, or how to tell the right people in the event it has
already occurred. My Body Belongs to Me from My Head to My Toes is
an invaluable resource that gives children a voice in uncomfortable
situations.
Solving problems is an indispensable exercise for mastering the
theory underlying the various branches of geophysics. This book is
a collection of nearly 200 problems in geophysics, which are solved
in detail showing each step of their solution, the equations used
and the assumptions made. Simple figures are also included to help
students understand how to reduce a problem to its key elements.
The book introduces the equations most commonly used in solving
geophysical problems, and presents a series of exercises for the
main, classical areas of geophysics - gravity, geomagnetism,
seismology, and heat flow and geochronology. Problems range from
simple exercises for the most elementary courses to more complex
problems suitable for graduate-level students. This handy book is
the ideal adjunct to core course textbooks on geophysical theory.
It is a convenient source of additional homework and exam questions
for instructors, and provides students with a practice or revision
aid.
