Ovid's Metamorphoses and its lasting impact on visual art The Roman poet Ovids Metamorphoses is among the most important works of Classical Antiquity, described in the seventeenth century as a Bible for artists. The compelling epic intertwines tales of chaos and the cosmos, encounters between gods, humans and nature, and the countless transformations to which they gave rise. For centuries, artists have drawn inspiration from these highly imaginative accounts of passion, jealousy, cunning and deceit on the part of deities, heroes and ordinary mortals. The stories have been interpreted in marble and paint, and more recently in moving pictures. This book shows the immense influence that Ovid has exerted on the visual arts from Antiquity to the present day. It presents sculptures by Cellini, Bernini, Rodin and Bourgeois alongside paintings by Titian, Correggio, Caravaggio, Arcimboldo and Rubens. Ovids myths address universal human feelings, allowing them to speak as powerfully as ever to our imagination. This richly illustrated book, featuring essays by Francesca Cappelletti, Claudia Cieri Via, Bart Ramakers, Frits Scholten and Lucia Simonato, is the living proof. This publication accompanies the exhibitions at the Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam (6 February-25 May 2026) and the Galleria Borghese, Rome (22 June-20 September 2026).

A user-friendly manual to research methods in art and design practices This volume presents the Circle of Doing Research: a model to get you started in art and design research. Conceived within the contextual setting of the art school, it is holistic, multidisciplinary and prioritizes practice. It consists of six actions. The basis of the circle is formed by the following: research by making, research of context and participatory research, where information, prototypes, encounters and experiences are gathered and produced. The remaining three actions are concerned with documenting research, publicizing research and reflecting on research. The Circle of Doing Research is an open, accessible and non-linear model. Each action can be an entry point, whether you want to start with material experiments, conversations with others, or in the library. All actions are connected and inform each other which encourages a process of iteration and constant reflection. The Circle can be enriched with methods, sources and focal points according to specific disciplines and needs. The book contains research trajectories of art and design students throughout, illustrating the rich possibilities to be uncovered in the unfolding of a research project. This illuminating model can be useful to all, from those beginning to learn about research in art and design to more advanced practitioners. Autorid: Harma Staal, Jojanneke Gijsen, Miriam Rasch
Matt Johnson, lead singer of seminal post punk band, The The, bares all in this meditation on creativity, love and loss, with writer James Wood.Cognitive Dissident may begin in the music biography tradition, but it quickly becomes something deeper. Born out of years of conversation and collaboration between Matt Johnson, the creative force behind THE THE, and writer Jason Wood (Executive Director at the BFI), it expands into a work that is philosophical, cultural, and socio-political in scope.The story traces Johnsons period of reflection during The Inertia Variations project and follows the extraordinary creative rebirth that led to THE THEs return: The Comeback Special tour, live album and film, the release of Ensoulment their first new album in 25 years and the acclaimed Ensouled world tour. Along the way, it illuminates Johnsons evolution from the post-punk DIY scene to his many collaborations with producers, musicians, and cultural icons, as well as the influence of literature, art, and cinema that has always shaped his vision.Through these conversations with Matt Johnson a working-class auto-didact who achieved success and ultimately career control on his own terms this book by extension is also a meditation on family, friendship, creativity, conservation, gentrification, geopolitics, love and loss.

STM32 Nucleo family of processors are manufactured by STMicroelectronics. These are low-cost ARM microcontroller development boards. This book is about developing projects using the popular STM32CubeIDE software with the Nucleo-L476RG development board. In the early Chapters of the book the architecture of the Nucleo family is briefly described.The book covers many projects using most features of the Nucleo-L476RG development board where the full software listings for the STM32CubeIDE are given for each project together with extensive descriptions. The projects range from simple flashing LEDs to more complex projects using modules, devices, and libraries such as GPIO, ADC, DAC, I²C, SPI, LCD, DMA, analogue inputs, power management, X-CUBE-MEMS1 library, DEBUGGING, and others. In addition, several projects are given using the popular Nucleo Expansion Boards. These Expansion Boards plug on top of the Nucleo development boards and provide sensors, relays, accelerometers, gyroscopes, Wi-Fi, and many others. Using an expansion board together with the X-CUBE-MEMS1 library simplifies the task of project development considerably.All the projects in the book have been tested and are working. The following sub-headings are given for each project: Project Title, Description, Aim, Block Diagram, Circuit Diagram, and Program Listing for the STM32CubeIDE. In this book you will learn about STM32 microcontroller architecture; the Nucleo-L476RG development board in projects using the STM32CubeIDE integrated software development tool; external and internal interrupts and DMA; DEBUG, a program developed using the STM32CubeIDE; the MCU in Sleep, Stop, and in Standby modes; Nucleo Expansion Boards with the Nucleo development boards. What you need a PC with Internet connection and a USB port; STM32CubeIDE software (available at STMicroelectronics website free of charge) the project source files, available from the book's webpage hosted by Elektor; Nucleo-L476RG development board; simple electronic devices such as LEDs, temperature sensor, I²C and SPI chips, and a few more; Nucleo Expansion Boards (optional).
See aias tööriist sobib suurepäraselt teie aeda ning on kasulik ka aktiivsele õue tegevusele, kuna see on väga mugav ja praktiline. **Terade pikkus**: 12 cm. **Terad**: Süsinikterasest tera, millel on roostevastane kate, tagades suurepärase lõikekvaliteedi ja kaitse korrosiooni eest. Kaks rida teravaid hambaid on suunatud käepideme poole. Lihtsalt lõigatav tõmmates. **Käepide**: "Opinel" käepidemed on tavaliselt valmistatud pöögipuidust. FSC sertifikaadiga puit saadakse ökoloogiliselt säästvatest metsadest Jura ja Vercors'i piirkonnast. See on kõva, vastupidav ja kergesti töödeldav. Käepide on ühtlase välimusega, heledates toonides - kollasest kuni punakani. Seda saab tuvastada paljude väikeste tumedate joonte järgi. Käepide on lakitud, et kaitsta seda niiskuse ja mustuse eest. **Käepideme pikkus**: 16,5 cm. **Turvarõngas**: 1955. aastal leiutas Marcel Opinel "Virobloc" turvarõnga, mis on paigaldatud kõigile kokkuklapitavatele nugadele alates N° 06-st. Roostevabast terasest välja lõigatud "Virobloc" rõngal on kaks osa: üks fikseeritud, teine liikuv. Nüüd saate mitte ainult fikseerida avatud tera (kasutamise ohutus), vaid ka suletud tera (transportimise ohutus).
How has European imperialism (re)made the world? How can we understand this long process and its consequences in ways that capture both the materiality and the subjectivity of political domination? Inspired by Frantz Fanon's insight that colonization entails the (re)crafting of geographic space, Landscaping Africa develops the concept of "landscaping" to explore the enduring global impact of European imperialism. Written by an Indigenous anthropologist, this book also demonstrates how Indigenous peoples, in Africa and beyond, are building upon and tearing apart European colonial projects. Michael C. Lambert probes three cases of landscaping involving the West African nation of Senegal: the forging of an international border between Senegal and Mauritania, the imposition of rural-urban distinctions, and the deployment of immigration policy to divide the Global North and South. This book illuminates how borders and boundaries are made, and made meaningful, through domination, resistance, and struggles over belonging. Autorid: Michael C. Lambert
