Describes the world's leading approach to art and design taught at Rhode Island School of Design At Rhode Island School of Design students are immersed in a culture where making questions, ideas, and objects, using and inventing materials, and activating experience all serve to define a form of critical thinking—albeit with one's hands—i.e. «critical making.» The Art of Critical Making, by RISD faculty and staff, describes fundamental aspects of RISD's approach to «critical making» and how this can lead to innovation. The process of making taught at RISD is deeply introspective, passionate, and often provocative. This book illuminates how RISD nurtures the creative process, from brief or prompt to outcome, along with guidance on the critical questions and research that enable making great works of art and design. Explores the conceptual process, idea research, critical questions, and iteration that RISD faculty employ to educate students to generate thoughtful work Authors are from the faculty and staff of the Rhode Island School of Design, which consistently ranks as the number one fine arts and design college in the United States The Art of Critical Making shows you how context, materials, thought processes, and self-evaluation are applied in this educational environment to prepare creative individuals to produce dynamic, memorable, and meaningful works.

Be a more effective leader with strategic thinking Leading with Strategic Thinking reveals what effective leaders do differently. Eschewing the one-size-fits-all leadership model, this helpful guide outlines four general leadership types and demonstrates how each type achieves success – whether through personal vision, structured process, collaboration, or by empowering others. The authors identify the actions and skills that distinguish strategic leadership, drawn from interviews and focus groups with over three hundred leaders from around the world. Examples and case studies illustrate these concepts in action, and the provided reference materials steer readers toward more advanced information on this important topic. The disruptive forces of technology and globalization raise new challenges for leaders. This book is a manual that will help executives and aspiring leaders harness these forces and address the two central questions of strategic leadership: How do the best leaders develop their strategy? How do effective leaders drive strategic change? Becoming a strategic leader isn’t about mimicking an icon. The most effective leaders seize opportunity in a way that consciously integrates environmental requirements, stakeholder expectations, and personal ability. Leading with Strategic Thinking shows what these leaders do, and gives anyone the tools to be a more strategic leader.

В уютном сказочном городке, где котики носят деловые костюмы, а весна пахнет бабушкиными пирожками, живёт рыжий непоседа Матвей. В этом году ему предстоит не просто уборка на чердаке — а самое настоящее приключение! 
Среди пыльных сундуков и загадочных шорохов Матвей и его мудрый дедушка Савелий Васильевич находят волшебную шкатулку. Внутри — не золото и не драгоценности, а старинные шашки, которые оказываются... армией деревянных воинов! 
Тёплая, озорная и немного волшебная история о семейных традициях, первых победах и о том, что настоящее сокровище — это вовсе не сундук с золотом.

Новое междисциплинарное научно-технологическое направление, предлагающее принципиально новый подход к управлению волновыми процессами. Вместо традиционного манипулирования материальными свойствами среды, ГВИ использует геометрию пространства или поверхностей для воздействия на волновое поле. Это достигается за счёт применения специально спроектированных пространственных поверхностей с переменной отрицательной кривизной – псевдоповерхностей различных порядков.
ГВИ объединяет дифференциальную геометрию, теорию волн, материаловедение. Такой синтез позволяет создавать пространственно-программируемые структуры, волновые ловушки, устройства безлинзовой фокусировки и методы геометрической защиты информации.
ГВИ представляет собой переход к управлению волнами через форму самого пространства, где геометрия становится активным элементом функциональности. Это открывает перспективы для создания энергоэффективных, адаптивных и интеллектуальных устройств в различных областях науки и техники.
