About this product: Lingo Sorcery exhibits extreme clarity and patience in showing its readers how to become true Lingo programmers, rather than just graphic artists who know how to use Lingo in order to get the effects they want. What's more, Lingo Sorcery uses Lingo as a springboard into object-oriented programming (OOP) concepts.
Peter Small shows how to work with objects (particularly lists) and offers a lot of help in conceptualizing what they are and what they can do. He goes into considerable detail about Lingo's messaging model--the means by which Lingo objects communicate with one another--and explains the powerful object-user interface, including Lingo's ability to alter user-interface elements on the fly.
After explaining Lingo OOP with a carefully arranged series of segments, Small shows how the concepts he's taught can be applied to specific Lingo objects in specific situations. He shows how to implement an advice-dispensing animated help character by working magic with a movie in a window (MIAW) object, for example.
Small has added coverage of behaviors and of the expandable API, including the Net Xtras, while maintaining the tutorial content that proved popular in the first edition of this book. He does not touch upon the changes to Lingo made in Director 7, however. --David Wall

About this product: This book is the first in English devoted to Francois Duquesnoy, a central figure in seventeenth-century European sculpture, a rival to Bernini and a leading light in an artistic milieu that included Poussin and Rubens. Estelle Lingo reconstructs Duquesnoy's pursuit in Rome of a modern artistic practice 'in the Greek manner'. Reconstruction of Duquesnoy's Greek ideal enables Lingo to offer new interpretations of his exquisite marble and bronze sculptures. Moreover, she demonstrates that the archaeological and poetic vision of Greek art developed by Duquesnoy and his circle formed the basis of Johann Joachim Winckelmann's influential "Reflections on the Imitation of Greek Works in Painting and Sculpture" - thus overturning the long-held assumption that no meaningful distinction was made between ancient Greek and Roman art prior to Winckelmann's work in the eighteenth century. Examining in detail how Duquesnoy developed and employed his 'Greek manner', Lingo brings to light the extent of his contributions to European culture and aesthetics, and to the rise of Neoclassicism.
