Synopsis

Transportation Network Design tackles the complex challenge of creating effective and sustainable national transportation systems. It emphasizes a holistic approach, integrating infrastructure studies and urban planning with engineering and economic considerations. The book uniquely combines network science, demand modeling, and evaluation methodologies to guide transportation planners and policymakers. Readers will gain insights into how transportation networks can facilitate economic growth, enhance social equity, and minimize environmental impact, all while addressing current challenges like congestion and carbon emissions.

 
The book progresses logically, beginning with fundamental network design principles like graph theory and network flow optimization. It then explores demand forecasting techniques, teaching readers how to predict future transportation needs. Finally, it delves into evaluation methodologies, such as cost-benefit analysis and environmental impact assessment, providing a framework for comparing different network design alternatives.

 
By blending academic rigor with practical relevance, the book equips readers with the knowledge to design transportation networks that are efficient, sustainable, and equitable.

    An Artist's Look at Theology, Art, and Philosophy
    Dear Tom,
    Thanks for writing again—and for this unusually philosophical response to my letter! In response: my theology of art is my theology. Period. I think of God as the Artist and all human artists as eternal apprentices. Consequently, all my thinking about God involves the centrality of beauty and the act of making. As I've said many times, we were made by a Maker to be makers. . . .
    Bruce
    In a series of fictional letters, respected artist and educator Bruce Herman passes on wisdom to a younger generation. He explores a wide array of practical, philosophical, and theological issues, such as:
    
    - What is artversus craft? What is good art?
    - What is the calling of an artist? Of a Christian artist?
    - What do you do when you're stuck in your creative process?
    - How should Christians relate to the contemporary art scene?
    - What is beauty, and how is it relevant in our world?
    Full of personal stories and behind-the-scene looks at Herman's own artistic process, Makers by Nature also features full-color artwork by Herman and several of his former students. Artists and art lovers will find insight, wonder, and encouragement to consider the Maker's invitation to creativity, however it takes shape.

    Tunes of the Times is your passport to an enthralling journey through the transformative world of musical films. Unearth the origins, celebrate the golden eras, and embrace the innovative present of this beautiful blend of visuals and vocals. 
     
    The silent beginnings were more than just muted movies. They were the canvas on which the foundation of musical cinema was laid. Discover how the early 'talkies' paved the way for a genre that would captivate audiences for generations. Relive the Golden Age of Hollywood, where musicals became a symbol of hope, joy, and sometimes, escapist dreams. The 1930s introduced us to new cinematic possibilities, the 1940s anchored us during wartime with uplifting tunes, and the 1950s painted our screens with the vivacious colors of Technicolor dreams. Each era, with its unique flavor, changed the way we perceived musical films. 
     
    The transitional years of the 1960s and 1970s saw experimentation and rock operas, challenging traditional norms and ushering in new narratives. And as we approached contemporary times, the evolution didn't stop. The influence of pop culture, the Disney renaissance, and the push for innovation and diversity in the 2000s reshaped the landscape of musical cinema. Delve deeper into the themes that make musicals resonate with us—love, romance, social commentary, fantasy. Understand the meticulous effort behind direction, choreography, set design, and the magic of sound and score that binds the narrative. Celebrate the iconic performers, directors, composers, and lyricists who became legends in their own right.  
     
    As we trace the profound impact and legacy of musical films, Tunes of the Times allows us to reflect on cultural mirrors, accolades, and the promising future of this beloved genre. Join us on this melodious journey and understand why, through the ages, musical films have remained an enduring, enchanting, and essential part of our cultural tapestry.

    Bob Dylan's Highway 61 Revisited

    Highway 61 Revisited resonates because of its enduring emotional appeal. Few songwriters before Dylan or since have combined so effectively the intensely personal with the spectacularly universal. In ""Like a Rolling Stone,"" his gleeful excoriation of Miss Lonely (Edie Sedgwick? Joan Baez? a composite ""type""?) fuses with the evocation of a hip new zeitgeist to produce a veritable anthem. In ""Ballad of a Thin Man,"" the younger generation's confusion is thrown back in the Establishment's face, even as Dylan vents his disgust with the critics who labored to catalogue him. And in ""Desolation Row,"" he reaches the zenith of his own brand of surrealist paranoia, that here attains the atmospheric intensity of a full-fledged nightmare. Between its many flourishes of gallows humor, this is one of the most immaculately frightful songs ever recorded, with its relentless imagery of communal executions, its parade of fallen giants and triumphant local losers, its epic length  and even the mournful sweetness of Bloomfield's flamenco-inspired fills.In this book, Mark Polizzotti examines just what makes the songs on Highway 61 Revisited so affecting, how they work together as a suite, and how lyrics, melody, and arrangements combine to create an unusually potent mix. He blends musical and literary analysis of the songs themselves, biography (where appropriate) and recording information (where helpful). And he focuses on Dylan's mythic presence in the mid-60s, when he emerged from his proletarian incarnation to become the American Rimbaud. The comparison has been made by others, including Dylan, and it illuminates much about his mid-sixties career, for in many respects Highway 61 is rock 'n' roll's answer to A Season in Hell.

    Late-modern culture has been marred by reductionism, which shrinks and flattens our vision of ourselves and the world. Renowned theologian Jeremy Begbie believes that the arts by their nature push against reductionism, helping us understand and experience more deeply the infinite richness of God's love and of the world God has made. 
     
    In Abundantly More, Begbie analyzes and critiques reductionism and its effects. He shows how the arts can resist reductive impulses by opening us up to an unlimited abundance of meaning. And he demonstrates how the engagement of the arts in light of a trinitarian imagination (which itself cuts against reductionism) generates a unique way of witnessing to and sharing in the life and purposes of God. 
     
    Theologians, artists, and any who are interested in how the fields of art and theology intersect will find rich resources here and discover the crucial role the arts can play in keeping our culture open to the possibility of God.
