Featuring films by Hitchcock, Kubrick, Welles and Fellini, this master list came together in 2012 when Sight & Sound (the cinema journal of the British Film Institute) asked contemporary critics and directors to name their 12 favorite movies. The Guggenheim Puts 109 Free Modern Art Books Online. Back in January, 2012, we mentioned that the Guggenheim (the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed modern art museum in NYC) had put 65 art catalogues on the web, all free of charge.
We’re happy to report that, between then and now, the number of free texts has grown to 109. Published between 1937 and 1999, the art books/catalogues offer an intellectual and visual introduction to the work of Alexander Calder, Edvard Munch, Francis Bacon, Gustav Klimt & Egon Schiele, Fernand Léger, and Kandinsky. Plus there are other texts (e.g., Masterpieces of Modern Art and Abstract Expressionists Imagists) that tackle meta movements and themes. Anyone interested in the history of the Guggenheim will want to spend time with a collection called “The Syllabus.” Xplore Digital Library. Home - Springer. CSDL - Home.

Brian Eno’s Reading List: 20 Essential Books for Sustaining Civilization. By Maria Popova Deconstructing a magnificent mind through his reading diet for intellectual survival.

When MIT Publishes Science Fiction, You Should Pay Attention. Every year, the MIT Technology Review publishes Twelve Tomorrows, a special issue of the magazine devoted to science fiction.
For those of us who pay attention to such things, Twelve Tomorrows is like the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue: beyond being a treat to look forward to, it seems to justify, in one symbolic swoop, precisely what all the other issues are for. This year’s edition is guest-edited by Bruce Sterling, who prefaces the collection of stories, interviews, and reviews with an admission that while the MIT Technology Review, in its ordinary incarnation, serves up the kind of speculative material that science fiction writers treasure (and occasionally crib from), the fiction issue is there to make sense of the larger context from which these technologies emerge. These aren’t whizz-bang lasers or louche Hollywood androids: these are, as Sterling writes, the genuinely consequential technologies that “can panic the Nasdaq and affect our planet’s balance of power.”

By Maria Popova What Alice in Wonderland has to do with electromagnetic theory, relativity, and Pluto.
“You are a mashup of what you let into your life,” it’s been said. Since creativity is combinatorial, the architecture of mind and character is deeply influenced by the intellectual stimulation we choose to engage with — including the books we read. There is hardly anything more fascinating than the private intellectual diet of genius — like this recently uncovered list of books computing pioneer and early codehacker Alan Turing borrowed from his school library. Though heavy on the sciences, the selection features some wonderful wildcards that bespeak the cross-disciplinary curiosity fundamental to true innovation.

GHDI - Document. German History in Documents and Images. “Tip-of-the-Tongue Syndrome,” Transactive Memory, and How the Internet Is Making Us Smarter. By Maria Popova “A public library keeps no intentional secrets about its mechanisms; a search engine keeps many.”
“The dangerous time when mechanical voices, radios, telephones, take the place of human intimacies, and the concept of being in touch with millions brings a greater and greater poverty in intimacy and human vision,” Anaïs Nin wrote in her diary in 1946, decades before the internet as we know it even existed. Her fear has since been echoed again and again with every incremental advance in technology, often with simplistic arguments about the attrition of attention in the age of digital distraction.
But in Smarter Than You Think: How Technology is Changing Our Minds for the Better (public library), Clive Thompson — one of the finest technology writers I know, with regular bylines for Wired and The New York Times — makes a powerful and rigorously thought out counterpoint. Why Science-Fiction Writers Are So Good at Predicting the Future. La secreta universidad abierta en Internet. En estos últimos meses —con las revelaciones del topo estadounidense Edward Snowden— hemos visto claramente cómo Internet, originalmente lleno de tanta promesa para igualar el acceso a información en el mundo, se ha convertido, también, en una oscura herramienta de espionaje y vigilancia digna de la peor Gestapo.
RedIRIS - Bienvenidos a RedIRIS. Virtual Library (Publications Getty) From The Trenches To The Web: British WWI Diaries Digitized : Parallels. Hide captionThe British National Archives has digitized and posted online about 1.5 million pages of diaries from soldiers and units that fought in World War I. Here, a photo of the 12th (Prince of Wales') Lancers Group. From a private collection, provided courtesy of the National Archives On the outskirts of London, in a basement room of the British National Archives, a historian delicately turns pages that have the brittle feel of dead leaves.
Each is covered in text — some typewritten, some in spidery handwriting from a pen that scratched across the page 100 years ago.

The First Book of Space Travel: How a Female Author & Illustrator Got Kids Into Science in 1953. By Maria Popova “If I were a fairy godmother, my gift to every child would be curiosity.” Vintage science illustrations hold a special charm, and illustrated children’s science books by women are a (heartening) rarity even today, so a woman who got kids excited about science half a century ago is nothing short of a cultural hero.
Such is the case of Jeanne Bendick, who authored and illustrated more than one hundred mid-century children’s books about science and technology. An advocate of questions over answers as the key to the scientific mind and a champion of combinatorial creativity who recognized that all ideas build on those that came before, she articulated her ethos with inspiring eloquence: One part of the job I set for myself is to make those young readers see that everything is connected to everything — that science isn’t something apart.

Free Philip K. Dick: Download 13 Great Science Fiction Stories. Although he died when he was only 53 years old, Philip K. Dick (1928 – 1982) published 44 novels and 121 short stories during his lifetime and solidified his position as arguably the most literary of science fiction writers. His novel Ubik appears on TIME magazine’s list of the 100 best English-language novels, and Dick is the only science fiction writer to get honored in the prestigious Library of America series, a kind of pantheon of American literature. If you’re not intimately familiar with his novels, then you assuredly know major films based on Dick’s work – Blade Runner, Total Recall, A Scanner Darklyand Minority Report. Today, we bring you another way to get acquainted with his writing. Aerogramme Writers' StudioStephen King's Reading List for Writers.
“If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.”― Stephen King In the afterword to his acclaimed guide On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft, Stephen King shares the following reading list of 96 books, covering a diverse range of fiction and non-fiction titles. Accompanying the list is this explanation: These are the best books I’ve read over the last three or four years, the period during which I wrote The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon, Hearts in Atlantis, On Writing, and the as-yet-unpublished From a Buick Eight.
