Music, Andrew Hewitt ; editor, Fernando Collins ; director of photography, Jas Shelton.Olivia Thirlby, Ezra Miller, Billy Crudup, Michael Angarano, Tye Sheridan, Nelsan Ellis.In 1971, Stanford University professor Dr. Philip Zimbardo cast twenty-four male student volunteers as prisoners and guards in a simulated jail to examine the source of abusive behavior in the prison system. The results astonished the world, as participants went from middle-class undergrads to drunk-with-power sadists and submissive victims in just a few days. Based on a true story.MPAA rating: R; for language including abusive behavior and some sexual references.DVD ; NTSC region 1 ; anamorphic widescreen (2.40:1) presentation ; Dolby Digital 5.1 surround.- Subjects: Feature films.; Fiction films.; Thrillers (Motion pictures); Film adaptations.; Historical films.; Video recordings for the hearing impaired.; Video recordings.; Drama.; Zimbardo, Philip G.; Stanford University.

- Darwin's devices : what evolving robots can teach us about the history of life and the future of technology / by Long, John,1964 January 12-(CARDINAL)399629;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Why robots? -- The game of life -- Engineering evolvabots -- Tadros play the game of life -- The life of the embodied mind -- Predator, prey, and vertebrae -- Evolutionary trekkers -- So long, and thanks for all the robotic fish."What happens when we let robots play the game of life? The challenge of studying evolution is that the history of life is buried in the past--we can't witness the dramatic events that shaped the adaptations we see today. But biorobotics expert John Long has found an ingenious way to overcome this problem: he creates robots that look and behave like extinct animals, subjects them to evolutionary pressures, lets them compete for mates and resources, and mutates their 'genes'. In short, he lets robots play the game of life. In Darwin's Devices, Long tells the story of these evolving biorobots--how they came to be, and what they can teach us about the biology of living and extinct species. Evolving biorobots can replicate creatures that disappeared from the Earth long ago, showing us in real time what happens in the face of unexpected environmental challenges. Biomechanically correct models of backbones functioning as part of an autonomous robot, for example, can help us understand why the first vertebrates evolved them. But the most impressive feature of these robots, as Long shows, is their ability to illustrate the power of evolution to solve difficult technological challenges autonomously--without human input regarding what a workable solution might be. Even a simple robot can create complex behavior, often learning or evolving greater intelligence than humans could possibly program. This remarkable idea could forever alter the face of engineering, design, and even warfare. An amazing tour through the workings of a fertile mind, Darwin's Devices will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about evolution, robot intelligence, and life itself"--- Subjects: Evolutionary robotics.; Evolution (Biology); Technological forecasting.;

- A delicate aggression : savagery and survival in the Iowa Writers' Workshop / by Dowling, David Oakey,1967-author.(CARDINAL)500514;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 349-402) and index."As the world's preeminent creative writing program, the Iowa Writers' Workshop has produced an astonishing number of distinguished writers and poets since its establishment in 1936. Its alumni and faculty include twenty-eight Pulitzer Prize winners, six U.S. poet laureates, and numerous National Book Award winners. This volume follows the program from its rise to prominence in the early 1940s under director Paul Engle, who promoted the "workshop" method of classroom peer criticism. Meant to simulate the rigors of editorial and critical scrutiny in the publishing industry, this educational style created an environment of both competition and community, cooperation and rivalry. Focusing on some of the exceptional authors who have participated in the program--such as Flannery O'Connor, Dylan Thomas, Kurt Vonnegut, Jane Smiley, Sandra Cisneros, T.C. Boyle, and Marilynne Robinso--David Dowling examines how the Iowa Writers' Workshop has shaped professional authorship, publishing industries, and the course of American literature"--Page 2 of cover.Introduction -- 1.
