Guro

2008 y.
Publisher: Prestel
Description: This monograph with a capital M - at over 500 pages and with 400 color illustrations - presents an exhaustive look at mask culture in `Guro` society. Fischer (former director, Museum Rietberg, Zurich) takes an ethnographic approach to his research on `Guro` masks, discussing how they are used in performances and what they represent to the `Guro` people. Fischer also focuses on the early `Guro` masters of mask carving and living sculptors. Some of the most fascinating chapters combine artist interviews and photographs to document carving techniques. Fischer translates and expands his earlier Die Kunst der `Guro`, Elfenbeink?ste, both books are based on fieldwork in `Guro` from 1975 and 1984. Other good publications that examine African masks include Peter Stepan`s Spirits Speak: A Celebration of African Masks and Iris Hahner-Herzog and others` African Masks: The Barbier-Mueller Collection, but none focuses so thoroughly on the `Guro` people as Fischer`s book.

Gurus, Hired Guns, and Warm Bodies: Itinerant Experts in a Knowledge Economy

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Over the last several decades, employers have increasingly replaced permanent employees with temporary workers and independent contractors to cut labor costs and enhance flexibility. Although commentators have focused largely on low-wage temporary work, the use of skilled contractors has also grown exponentially, especially in high-technology areas. Yet almost nothing is known about contracting or about the people who do it. This book seeks to break the silence. Gurus, Hired Guns, and Warm Bodies tells the story of how the market for temporary professionals operates from the perspective of the contractors who do the work, the managers who employ them, the permanent employees who work beside them, and the staffing agencies who broker deals. Based on a year of field work in three staffing agencies, life histories with over seventy contractors and studies of workers in some of America`s best known firms, the book dismantles the myths of temporary employment and offers… [detailed...]

Gusher of Lies: The Dangerous Delusions of `Energy Independence`

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Everybody is talking about “energy independence.” But is it really achievable—or even desirable? In this controversial, meticulously researched book, Robert Bryce exposes the false promises and political posturing behind the rhetoric. Gusher of Lies explains why the idea of energy independence appeals to voters while also showing that renewable sources like wind and solar cannot meet America’s growing energy demand. Along the way, Bryce exposes the ethanol scam as one of the longest-running robberies ever perpetrated on American taxpayers. In a new foreword to this edition, he shows how energy independence rhetoric was used during the 2008 election, even as the heavily subsidized ethanol business fueled a growing global food crisis.

Gustav Mahler : A Life in Crisis

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The life of the brilliant composer and conductor Gustav Mahler was punctuated by crisis. His parents both died in 1889, leaving him the reluctant head of a household of siblings. He himself endured a nearly fatal medical ordeal in 1901. A beloved daughter died in 1907 and that same year, under pressure, Mahler resigned from the directorship of the Vienna Opera. In each case Mahler more than mastered the trauma, he triumphed in the creation of new major musical works. The finalcrisis of Mahler’s career occurred in 1910, when he learned that his wife, Alma, was having an affair with the architect Walter Gropius. The revelation precipitated a breakdown while Mahler was working on his Tenth Symphony. The anguished, suicidalnotes Mahler scrawled across the manuscript of the unfinished symphony revealed his troubled state. A four-hour consultation with Sigmund Freud in Leiden, Holland, restored the composer’s equilibrium. Although Mahler left little… [detailed...]

Gustav Mahler : Songs and Symphonies of Life and Death. Interpretations and Annotations (Music)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionA monument in Mahler studies, this volume concentrates on the composer`s vocal music and, in particular, on some of his most famous, most original and best loved compositions: the late Rueckert orchestral songs and Kindertotenlieder, Das Lied von der Erde, one of the composer`s supreme masterpieces, and the vast Eighth Symphony. Much new ground is broken but the author bases his conclusions on a meticulous examination of the principal manuscript sources, especially those for Das Lied. He offers an unprecedented exploration of the original Chinese texts for that work and indeed of the whole Oriental dimension of Mahler`s last and greatest song-cycle. Time and time again, the composer`s sketches back up the author`s reading of these massivescores and there will be few among this book`s readers who will not find a familiar passage or movement sharply illuminated by fresh insights and information. The scope of the book, despite its concentration, is immensely wide, and so… [detailed...]

Gustav Mahler: Letters To His Wife

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionGustav Mahler and Alma Maria Schindler were married in . . . 1902. The bride was twenty-one and a half years old, her groom a few months short of forty-two. Apart from their substantial age difference, it seems to have been the very disparity of their intellectual and social backgrounds that drew them together. Mahler was attracted to Alma by her beauty, her alert mind and emotional intensity. Though aware that he possessed by far the broader outlook, he trusted in Alma?s ability andwillingness to learn from him.`?from the Introduction `Once the stiffness of unfamiliarity has been softened by a few months of marriage, Mahler?s style of correspondence with Alma is generally simple, direct, and astonishingly down-to-earth. In a manner akin to that of his musical style, he spikes his language with witticisms and double-entendres, colloquialisms and quotations from librettos and classical works of literature.`?from the Preface This profusely… [detailed...]

Gut Feelings: The Intelligence of the Unconscious

2007 y.
Publisher: Viking Adult
Description: Gigerenzer`s theories about the usefulness of mental shortcuts were a small but crucial element of Malcolm Gladwell`s bestseller Blink, and that attention has provided the psychologist, who is the director of the Max Planck Institute for Human Development in Berlin, the opportunity to recast his academic research for a general audience. The key concept - rules of thumb serve us as effectively as complex analytic processes, if not more so - is simple to grasp. Gigerenzer draws on his own research as well as that of other psychologists to show how even experts rely on intuition to shape their judgment, going so far as to ignore available data in order to make snap decisions. Sometimes, the solution to a complex problem can be boiled down to one easily recognized factor, he says, and the author uses case studies to show that the Take the Best approach often works. Gladwell has in turn influenced Gigerenzer`s approach, including the use of catchy phrases like the zero-choice dinner and… [detailed...]
