Getting Started in 3D with 3ds Max Model Texture Rig Animate and Render in 3ds Max

Getting Started in 3D with 3ds Max Model Texture Rig Animate and Render in 3ds Max

Learning a 3D visualization software is a daunting task under any circumstances and while it may be easy to find online tutorials that tell you what to do to perform certain tasks you'll seldom learn why you are performing the steps. This book approaches training from a top-down perspective way you will first learn important concepts of 3D visualization and functionality of 3ds Max before moving into the finer detail of the command structure. By learning how things work and why you might choose one method over another the book will not only teach you where the buttons are but more importantly how to think about the holistic process of 3D design so that you can then apply the lessons to your own needs. The goal of the learning presented here is to familiarize the new user of 3ds Max with a typical workflow from a production environment from planning to modeling materials and lighting and then applying special effects and compositing techniques for a finished product. | Getting Started in 3D with 3ds Max Model Texture Rig Animate and Render in 3ds Max

Max Weber's Interpretive Sociology of Law

Max Weber's Interpretive Sociology of Law

This book presents a clear and precise account of the structure and content of Max Weber's sociology of law: situating its methodological and epistemological specificity in relation to other approaches to the sociology of law; as well as offering a critical evaluation of Weber's usefulness for contemporary socio-legal research. The book is divided into three parts. The first part deals with the methodological foundations of Weber's sociology of law. The second analyses the central theme of this sociology the rationalisation of law from the perspective of its internal logical coherence its empirical validity and finally its legitimacy. The third part questions the present-day relevance of the Weberian sociology of law for socio-legal research notably with regard to legal pluralism. Max Weber it is demonstrated is not merely a 'founding father' of the sociology of law; rather his methodology concepts and empirical analyses remain highly useful to the further development of work in this area. | Max Weber's Interpretive Sociology of Law

Max Weber and Islam

Max Weber and Islam

Max Weber and Islam is a major effort by Islamic-studies specialists to reexamine and appraise Max Weber's perspectives on Islam and its historical development. Eight specialists on Islam and two sociologists explore many dimensions of Weber's comments on Islam along with Weber's conceptual framework. The volume's introduction links the discussions to contemporary issues and debates. Wolfgang Schluchter reconstructs Weber's conceptual apparatus as it applies to Islam and its historical development. In subsequent chapters Islamic specialists consider such major topics as the developmental history of Islam Islamic fundamentalism Islamic reform Islamic law and capitalism secularization in Islam as well as the value of attempting to apply Weber's concept of sects to Islam. While some authors find flaws in Weber's factual knowledge of Islam they also find considerable merit in the kinds of questions Weber raised. Contributors to the volume include highly respected contemporary international scholars of Islam: Ira Lapidus Nehemia Levtzion Richard M. Eaton Peter Hardy Rudolph Peters Barbara Metcalf Francis Robinson Patricia Crone Michael Cook and S. N. Eisenstadt. Toby Huff's introduction not only knits the thematics of the separate essays together but adds its own stresses while engaging the contributors in dialogue and debate about fundamental issues. This acute collective analysis establishes a new benchmark for understanding Weber and Islam. This book also provides an up-to-date overview of the developmental history of many aspects of Islam. A major reappraisal of the entire span of Max Weber's sociological thought on Islam this book will appeal to a wide range of scholars and laymen interested in the Islamic world. It will be of particular interest to sociologists specializing in religion and Middle East area specialists.

Max Weber A Biography

Max Weber A Biography

A founder of contemporary social science Max Weber was born in Germany in 1864. At his death 56 years later he was nationally known for his scholarly and political writings but it was the international reception of his oeuvre over the last forty years that has made him world-famous. The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism The Economic Ethics of the World Religions and his magnum opus Economy and Society with its treatment of the relations of economics politics law and religion belong to the great achievements of 20th-century social science. The groundwork for the posthumous Weber reception was laid by Weber's widow Marianne a well-known feminist writer who followed up her edition of his collected works with one of the greatest biographies in a generation that produced many important accounts of itself. Although unavailable in English until a decade ago the importance of Marianne Weber's 1926 work had been widely understood. Sociologist Robert A. Nisbet called it a moving and deeply felt biographical memoir. Historian Gerhard Masur cited the book as the foundation of all further inquiries into Max Weber's life and influence. Beginning with Max's ancestry and early years Marianne Weber guides us through his life as student young lawyer scholar and political writer quoting liberally from his voluminous correspondence. Her account of his nervous breakdown after 1897 which curtailed his academic career but ultimately strengthened his creative energies provides deep insight into some of the personal tensions that troubled him to the end. In addition to her perceptive personal and intellectual life before the First World War describing many scholars social reformers politicians and literary figures within and beyond the famous Heidelberg circle of the Webers. The new introduction by Guenther Roth situates Marianne Weber's own role in the contemporary setting and discusses the current state of Weber research and of the international Weber reception. | Max Weber A Biography

Max Liebermann Modern Art and Modern Germany

Max Liebermann Modern Art and Modern Germany

Max Liebermann: Modern Art and Modern Germany is the first English-language examination of this German impressionist painter whose long life and career spanned nine decades. Through a close reading of key paintings and by a discussion of his many cultural networks across Germany and throughout Europe this study by Marion Deshmukh illuminates Liebermann’s importance as a pioneer of German modernism. Critics and admirers alike saw his art as representing aesthetic European modernism at its best. His subjects included dispassionate depictions of the rural Dutch countryside his colorful garden at the Wannsee and his many portraits of Germany’s cultural political and military elites. Liebermann was the largest collector of French Impressionism in Germany - and his cosmopolitan outlook and his art created strong antipathies towards both by political and cultural conservatives throughout his life. | Max Liebermann Modern Art and Modern Germany

Learning Music Theory with Logic Max and Finale

Learning Music Theory with Logic Max and Finale

Learning Music Theory with Logic Max and Finale is a groundbreaking resource that bridges the gap between music theory teaching and the world of music software programs. Focusing on three key programs—the Digital Audio Workstation (DAW) Logic the Audio Programming Language (APL) Max and the music-printing program Finale—this book shows how they can be used together to learn music theory. It provides an introduction to core music theory concepts and shows how to develop programming skills alongside music theory skills. Software tools form an essential part of the modern musical environment; laptop musicians today can harness incredibly powerful tools to create record and manipulate sounds. Yet these programs on their own don’t provide musicians with an understanding of music notation and structures while traditional music theory teaching doesn’t fully engage with technological capabilities. With clear and practical applications this book demonstrates how to use DAWs APLs and music-printing programs to create interactive resources for learning the mechanics behind how music works. Offering an innovative approach to the learning and teaching of music theory in the context of diverse musical genres this volume provides game-changing ideas for educators practicing musicians and students of music.

Max Klinger and Wilhelmine Culture On the Threshold of German Modernism

Max Klinger and Wilhelmine Culture On the Threshold of German Modernism

The Wilhelmine Empire’s opening decades (1870s - 1880s) were crucial transitional years in the development of German modernism both politically and culturally. Here Marsha Morton argues that no artist represented the shift from tradition to unsettling innovation more compellingly than Max Klinger. The author examines Klinger’s early prints and drawings within the context of intellectual and material transformations in Wilhelmine society through an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses Darwinism ethnography dreams and hypnosis the literary Romantic grotesque criminology and the urban experience. His work in advance of Expressionism revealed the psychological and biological underpinnings of modern rational man whose drives and passions undermined bourgeois constructions of material progress social stability and class status at a time when Germans were engaged in defining themselves following unification. This book is the first full-length study of Klinger in English and the first to consistently address his art using methodologies adopted from cultural history. With an emphasis on the popular illustrated media Morton draws upon information from reviews and early books on the artist writings by Klinger and his colleagues and unpublished archival sources. The book is intended for an academic readership interested in European art history social science literature and cultural studies. | Max Klinger and Wilhelmine Culture On the Threshold of German Modernism

An Analysis of Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism

An Analysis of Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism

The German sociologist Max Weber is considered to be one of the founding fathers of sociology and ranks among the most influential writers of the 20th-century. His most famous book The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism is a masterpiece of sociological analysis whose power is based on the construction of a rigorous and intricately interlinked piece of argumentation. Weber’s object was to examine the relationship between the development of capitalism and the different religious ideologies of Europe. While many other scholars focused on the material and instrumental causes of capitalism’s emergence Weber sought to demonstrate that different religious beliefs in fact played a significant role. In order to do this he employed his analytical skills to understand the relationship between capitalism and religious ideology carefully considering how far Protestant and secular capitalist ethics overlapped and to what extent they mirrored each other. One crucial element of Weber’s work was his consideration the degree to which cultural values acted as implicit or hidden reasons reinforcing capitalist ethics and behavior – an investigation that he based on teasing out the ‘arguments’ that underpin capitalism. Incisive and insightful Weber’s analysis continues to resonate with scholars today. | An Analysis of Max Weber's The Protestant Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism

Caesarism Charisma and Fate Historical Sources and Modern Resonances in the Work of Max Weber

Caesarism Charisma and Fate Historical Sources and Modern Resonances in the Work of Max Weber

How do writers marginalized by the authoritarian state in which they live intervene in the political process? They cannot do so directly because they are not politicians. Other modes of engagement are possible however. A writer may take up arms and become a revolutionary. Or as Max Weber did he may try to influence politics by playing the role of constitutional advisor or by seeking to shape the dominant language in which his contemporaries think. Weber sought to reconstitute the political and social vocabulary of his day. Part I of Caesarism Charisma and Fate examines a great writer's political passions and the linguistic creativity they generated. Specially it is an analysis of the manner in which Weber reshaped the nineteenth century idea of Caesarism a term traditionally associated with the authoritarian populism of Napoleon III and Bismarck and transmuted it into a concept that was either neutral or positive. The coup de grace of this alchemy was to make Caesarism reappear as charisma. In that transformation a highly contentious political concept suffused with disapproval and anxiety was naturalized into an ideal type of universal value-free sociology. Part II augments Weber's ideas for the modem age. A recurrent preoccupation of Weber's writings was human fate a condition that evokes the pathos of choice the political meaning of death and the formation of national solidarity. Peter Baehr marrying Weber and Durkheim fashions a new concept community of fate for sociological theory. Communities of fate-such as the Warsaw Ghetto or Hong Kong dealing with the Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) crisis-are embattled social sites in which people face the prospect of collective death. They cohere because of an intense and broadly shared focus of attention on a common plight. Weber's work helps us grasp the nature of such communities the mechanisms that produce them and not least their dramatic consequences. | Caesarism Charisma and Fate Historical Sources and Modern Resonances in the Work of Max Weber

The Frankfurt School The Critical Theories of Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno

The Frankfurt School The Critical Theories of Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno

The Frankfurt School refers to a school of neo-Marxist interdisciplinary social theory particular established at the Institute for Social Research at the University of Frankfurt Germany in 1923. Tarr's investigation focuses on three key issues. The first is the Frankfurt School's original program of providing a general theory of modern capitalist society. The second is the claim to represent a continuation of the original Marxian theory through the school's Critical Theory. The third is the scientific validity of Critical Theory in light of the generally accepted canons of the natural and social sciences. Tarr proposes that in the last analysis Critical Theory is simply another existentialist philosophy. As such it is a specific expression of certain socio-historical conditions and of the situation of a particular social group the marginal Jewish bourgeois intelligentsia of Central Europe. This European-Jewish contribution became apparent after the great metaphysical impulse of the pre-Socratic and Platonic-Aristotelian philosophies had run their respective courses. Both philosophies represented philosophical schools of ethics and both wanted to help man take up a defense against the storms of passions and fate. It was from these ancient sources that the Frankfurt School emerged. The Frankfurt School derived its impetus in the twentieth century in which Tarr claims a shift occurred from the ontological to the subjective realm. This in turn led to deep changes in philosophical theory and practice which led to a more psychologically oriented mode of social thought. This in-depth study covers the entire career of the Frankfurt School's Critical Theory from 1923 to 1974. It does so by applying the same standards of criticism to its primary doctrines as it turned on other theories but with a keen sense of balance and fairness. | The Frankfurt School The Critical Theories of Max Horkheimer and Theodor W. Adorno
