In an age flooded with gizmos and gadgets, where technology rules the roost, with Facebook, Snapchat, Twitter and Instagram getting the better of all of us, where everyone seems to have less connect with people and themselves, where people lead more stressful and anxious lives – in short, a world fueling unhappiness, there is this growing need to pause and think – to realize the beauty of life and its true meaning, to experience happiness. Students these days face undue stress, be it exam pressure, peer pressure, depression or other psychological factors. Adults too need to meet deadlines and work pressure seems to be taking its toll. Happy Morphosis is the author’s attempt to take you across the boulevard in the pursuit of happiness. How we all need to work on the different facets required for everlasting bliss is what is touched upon in this book. Happiness is being talked about all over the globe. “ Universities around the world are teaching on it, scientists have been making a study of it, governments are appointing cabinet positions to oversee it, and Google analytics prove that people are searching for it. In fact, it is one of humanity’s oldest pursuits’. All of us can be catalysts to spread happiness. Are YOU the one ?

Since 1936, the New Directions in Prose and Poetry anthologies have served as vehicles for the presentation of new and variant trends in world literature.

This volume opens the series of papers presented at the Vienna Congress of AILC/ICLA 2016, beginning with eight keynotes. Thirty-four further papers are dedicated to the central theme of the conference: the linguistic side of world literature, under different focal points. The volume further contains five roundtables, the papers of a workshop of the UNESCO memory of the worlds programme, a presentation of the avldigital.de platform, as well as several bibliographically enriched overviews of the special lexicography of comparative literature, up to date versions of the ICLA publications, and an example of multiple translations of a famous modern classic.

A judge springs out of his car on the way to court in downtown Chicago and takes photographs of an inflatable rat. A while later he inserts these photographs into a decision involving another insufflated rodent used in a union protest. The increasing use of images in case law and precedent in the common law world provides a novel visual atlas of how lawyers see. Using a corpus of many images drawn from decisions in different common law jurisdictions across the globe, Judicial Uses of Images catalogues, analyzes, and reviews the normative significance and affective force of this new medium of legal expression and judgement. The remediation of law is critically dissected in the terms of the emergent optical criteria and protocols of retinal justice. .

A resounding masterpiece of architectural publishing, this volume, Rizzoli's sixth on Morphosis and its founder, architect Thom Mayne, features the work of the award-winning interdisciplinary architectural and design practice over the past fourteen years. Known for its architecture of complexity, disruption, and ambiguity, Morphosis is on the cutting edge of exploration and discovery in design. Sometimes on the border of controversy with daring vision and provocative large-scale urban projects, the firm continually invites us to question what architecture is and can be while remaining sensitive to its central purpose--to provide safe, sheltering spaces for life, work, and play. This book documents the great variety of the firm's creations across the globe, a new academic building for the Cooper Union in New York, the Perot Museum of Nature and Science in Texas, the Casablanca Finance City Tower in Morocco, and the Sejong M-Bridge, in Sejong City, South Korea. Like the architecture of this trailblazing firm, the book is an exhilarating demonstration of visual excitement, bold graphics, and innovative design.
