Will American power and ideas dominate the globe in the coming years? Or is the prestige of the United States likely to crumble beneath the pressure of new international challenges? This ground-breaking book explores the changing patterns of American thought and culture at the dawn of the new millennium, when the world's richest nation has never been more powerful or more controversial. It brings together some of the most eminent North American and European thinkers to investigate the crucial issues and challenges facing the United States during the early years of our new century. From the subterranean political shifts beneath the electoral landscape to the latest biomedical advances, from the literary response to 9/11 to the rise of reality television, this book explores the political, social and cultural contours of contemporary American life - but it also places the United States within a global narrative of commerce, cultural exchange, international diplomacy, ideological conflict and war. These eighteen new essays address such pressing issues as leadership, foreign policy, propaganda, religion, health, technology, immigration, 9/11 culture and digital media. Searching for the roots of our contemporary concerns, the authors look back to the Clinton years and even earlier periods of twentieth-century American life. But they also look forward to the new horizons of the century to come - to the unanticipated dangers of a global future and to the soaring possibilities of American enterprise and imagination. 517 3 $aAmerican Thought & Culture in the 21st Century 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aPopular culture 606 $aTwenty-first century 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization 615 2$aPopular Culture. 615 0$aPopular culture. 615 0$aTwenty-first century. 676 $a973.93 700 $aHalliwell$b Martin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0599987 702 $aHalliwell$b Martin 702 $aMorley$b Catherine$f1977- 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782598403321 996 $aAmerican thought and culture in the 21st century$93826886 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02814nam 2200601 450 001 9910825898303321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a0-470-64006-5 010 $a1-118-41502-7 010 $a1-280-58875-6 010 $a9786613618580 010 $a1-118-41412-8 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4034953 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11110141 035 $a(OCoLC)785558887 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC833851 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC7147315 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL7147315 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4034953 035 $a(JP-MeL)3000111532 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL833851 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10865577 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL361858 035 $a(OCoLC)784884232 035 $a(EXLCZ)993230000000206990 100 $a20120406h20132013 uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|nnn||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aBasic perspective drawing $ea visual approach /$fJohn Montague 205 $aSixth edition. 210 1$aHoboken, New Jersey :$cWiley,$d[2013] 210 4$d2013 215 $a1 online resource (vii, 280 p. )$cill 300 $aIncludes index. 311 $a1-118-13414-1 327 $aOverview -- Rendering perspective views from observed reality -- Plans, elevations, and paraline projections -- Constructing perspective views -- Geometric tools: diagonals, squares, and cubes -- Sloping planes and surfaces -- Circles and curved surfaces -- Shadows and reflections -- Freehand sketching and rapid visualization -- The figure in perspective -- Shading and rendering -- Aerial perspective -- Appendix A: examples of perspective views -- Appendix B: notes on studying and teaching perspective drawing. 330 $aBasic Perspective Drawing introduces students, both those in formal design courses and self-learners, to the basic principles and techniques of perspective drawing.
