  Scenic Design for "Steel Magnolias"

  Andrea Bechert

  I was the Scenic Designer for the production of "Steel Magnolias" at the TheatreWorks which opened at the Mountain View Center for Performing Arts June 7, 2023. As the Scenic Designer, I oversee the design and visual aspects in three departments, and work directly with the people in those departments. These areas are Scenery (the architectural aspects of the setting), Scenic Art & Paints (the textures, painting, and finish of the scenery), and Properties (anything that you would move in or out of your house in a moving van including all décor). I can provide a ¼”=1’-0” scale color model, paint elevations, and drafting.

  Feedback for Continuous Improvement in the Classroom: New Perspectives, Practices, and Possibilities

  Carrie Holmberg and Brent Duckor

  Educators Brent Duckor and Carrie Holmberg show you how to plan, enact, and reflect on feedback practices within lessons and across units using an accessible, comprehensive, and innovative framework that illuminates the path towards equity and excellence for all. With evidence-based research and real classroom examples, Feedback for Continuous Improvement in the Classroom answers: What is formative feedback? How does it influence student outcomes and teacher pedagogy? Why are well-defined learning goals, aligned with rich tasks and progress guides, essential to making feedback truly formative? What are essential facets of teacher, peer, and self-driven feedback? How does feedback work best in whole-class, small group, or individual configurations? What can make written, spoken, and nonverbal feedback modalities more effective—for all? How can focusing on feedback improve learning across all subject matter disciplines? Prompts for self-reflection, videos, vignettes, and scaffolds throughout help readers see how effective feedback can be embedded into classrooms and school communities committed to discovery, growth, and deeper learning.

  Mexican Philosophy for the 21st Century: Relajo, Zozobra, and Other Frameworks for Understanding Our World

  Carlos Alberto Sánchez

  Mexican philosophy has been relegated for far too long to the margins of philosophy's global scene. This book brings it front and centre by demonstrating that its figures, methods, and texts, supplement, enrich, and broaden the scope and depth of both philosophy and our everyday understanding. Powered by a commitment to use Mexican philosophy to navigate the perplexing world we inhabit, Sánchez challenges the blanket application of Eurocentric philosophy to our 21st-century concerns. This is an essential starting point for Latin American philosophy scholars and anyone approaching Mexican philosophy for the very first time.

  Singular Spaces II: From the Eccentric to the Extraordinary in Spanish Art Environments

  Jo Farb Hernandez

  This groundbreaking study of art environments created by self-taught artists across Spain introduces 99 sites featuring idiosyncratic sculptures, homes, and gardens, most of which have never been previously published and analyzed. Detailed case studies of each are contextualized with historical and theoretical references to a broad range of interlocking fields, including art history, anthropology, vernacular architecture, Spanish area studies, and folklore; each chapter is complemented with compelling visuals. Breaking down the standard compartmentalization of genres, Hernández reveals how these creators fuse their work with their daily life in a way generally unmatched in any other circumstances of making art.

  A Love Letter

  Carmen Kennedy-Saleh

  "A Love Letter" steps you into the sharp tenderness of a loved one’s transition. “Its pages expose your mind to the various mirrors of an embrace while also walking you down the predatory nodes of a medical system that serves capital and rage with equal measure. In a few pages, you are years changed,” writes the former San Francisco Poet Laureate, Tongo Eisen Martin. "A Love Letter" should make you feel uncomfortable. It should confront you with humanity and inspire your active support for newly imagined forms of universal, comprehensive care that is free for us all.

  Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Analytics for Food Security

  Chandrasekar Vuppalapati

  Climate change, increasing population, food-versus-fuel economics, pandemics, etc. pose a threat to food security to unprecedented levels. It has fallen upon the practitioners of agriculture and technologists of the world to innovate and become more productive to address the multi-pronged food security challenges. Agricultural innovation is key to managing food security concerns. The infusion of data science, artificial intelligence (AI), advanced analytics, satellites data, geospatial data, climatology, sensor technologies, and climate modeling with traditional agricultural practices such as soil engineering, fertilizers use, and agronomy are some of the best ways to achieve this. Data science helps farmers to unravel patterns in fertilizer pricing, equipment usage, transportation and storage costs, yield per hectare, and weather trends to better plan and spend resources. AI enables farmers to learn from fellow farmers to apply best techniques that are transferred learning from AI to improve agricultural productivity and to achieve financial sustainability. Sensor technologies play an important role in getting real-time farm field data and provide feedback loops to improve overall agricultural practices and can yield huge productivity gains. Advanced Analytics modeling is essential software technique that codifies farmers’ tacit knowledge such as better seed per soil, better feed for dairy cattle breed, or production practices to match weather pattern that was acquired over years of their hard work to share with worldwide farmers to improve overall production efficiencies, the best antidote to food security issue. In addition to the paradigm shift, economic sustainability of small farms is a major enabler of food security. The book reviews all these technological advances and proposes macroeconomic pricing models that data mines macroeconomic signals and the influence of global economic trends on small farm sustainability to provide actionable insights to farmers to avert any financial disasters due to recurrent economic crises.

  Binh Danh: The Enigma of Belonging

  Binh Danh

  Binh Danh was born in Vietnam and immigrated to the US in 1979. Early in his career, Danh pioneered printing images directly onto plant matter, activating the plants’ chlorophyll with sunlight. Using this process, Danh printed images associated with the war in Vietnam onto the leaves of tropical plants and grasses. Danh has traveled across the American West for almost a decade, making daguerreotypes of scenic. Danh imbues this scenery with his distinctly personal perspective—an attempt to negotiate his connection as a Vietnamese American with the landscape and history of the United States. This monograph features two volumes, bringing together bodies of work and a separate book of essays and memorabilia that contextualizes Danh's work.

  La Lluvia y la Sequía

  Christopher Luna-Mega

  "La Lluvia y la Sequía" is a field recording sound collage in which Christopher Luna-Mega explores the intrusion of the urban in the rural, drought, rain, and a week in the lives of a San Joaquín Valley ranch, in Central Valley, CA.
