Essential (and emotionally intelligent) etiquette tips are packaged
here alongside hilarious "Dick and Jane"-style illustrations. Laugh
and learn. On the one hand, nobody wants to be a dick. On the other
hand, dicks are everywhere! They cut in line, talk behind our
backs, recline into our seats, and even have the power to morph
into trolls online. Their powers are impressive, but with a little
foresight and thoughtfulness, we can take a stand against
dickishness today. How Not to Be a Dick is packed with honest and
straightforward advice, divided into the categories of
relationships, home, school, work, play, in transit, and on the
internet. Paired with this essential wisdom are playful
illustrations showing two well-meaning (but not always well
behaved) young people as they confront moments of potential
dickishness in their everyday lives. Sometimes they falter,
sometimes they triumph, but they always seek to find a better way.
And with their help, you can too.
Engraving Accuracy in Early Modern England traces major concepts
including: the creation of the visual effects of accuracy through
careful action and training; the development of visual judgment and
connoisseurship; the role of an epistolary network in the
production of knowledge; balancing readers' expectations with
representational conventions; and the effects of collecting on the
creation and circulation of knowledge. On the one hand, this study
uncovers how approaches to knowledge production differed in the
seventeenth century as compared with the twenty-first century. On
the other, it reveals how the early modern struggle to sort through
an overwhelming quantity of visual information - brought on by
major changes in image production and circulation - resonates with
our own.
