An Anthology of Contemporary Russian Women Poets

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionBased on an exhaustive review of Russian poetry, An Anthology of Contemporary Russian Women Poets is the first comprehensive collection of its kind. Editors Valentina Polukhina and Daniel Weissbort read some one thousand collections and manuscripts and thoroughly surveyed the vibrant Russian literary Internet, gathering works by women poets from Moscow to Vladivostok, those living abroad, and those domiciled in former republics of the Soviet Union. The resulting anthology presents Englishtranslations of works by more than eighty poets. Focusing on the middle generation, with major figures such as Olga Sedakova, Svetlana Kekova, Vera Pavlova, and Tatyana Shcherbina, the collection also includes work by the youngest generation--born after 1970 and not yet known outside of Russia--as well as senior poets such as Bella Akhmadulina and Natalya Gorbanevskaya. Translators include such poets as Elaine Feinstein, Ruth Fainlight, Carol Rumens, and Daniel Weissbort as well… [detailed...]

An Anthology of Graphic Fiction, Cartoons, and True Stories

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Comic artist Ivan Brunetti, the creator of Schizo , offers a best-of anthology of contemporary art comics, along with some classic comic strips and other historical materials that have retained a “modern” sensibility. As with Chris Ware’s selections for his best-selling McSweeney’s anthology, Brunetti’s choices make for a highly personal book (“my criteria were simple: these are comics that I savor and often revisit”) that serves as a broad historical overview of the medium and a round-up of some of today’s best and most interesting North American comic artists. Included here are works from such well-known artists as Robert Crumb, Kim Deitch, Art Spiegelman, Chris Ware, Ben Katchor, Charles Burns, Gary Panter, Seth, Phoebe Gloeckner, Daniel Clowes, Lynda Barry, Joe Sacco, and Jaime and Gilbert Hernandez, as well as many other pioneers whose names may be less familiar. Brunetti offers selections from the works of more… [detailed...]

An Appraisal of Batswana Extension Agents` Work and Training Experiences: Towards Enhanced Service Coordination

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Hermeneutic-phenomenological interviews were conducted to explore community-based extension workers` (CBEWs`) previous work and training experiences and how such experiences contributed to their present working relationships as partners in community development. CBEWs` responses foreshadowed challenges and problems of coordination that could have otherwise been addressed had they been considered integral elements of previous training curricula. The findings throw light on how government policies, though explicitly formulated to enhance conditions of service coordination, can be in variance with realities of coordination at the village level. Awareness of the fissure of policies and actual coordination does not refute the importance of government intervention in community development, given CBEWs` status as government employees. Rather, it is only with understanding of and familiarity with CBEWs` circumstances that such policies would truly address the challenges, problems, and… [detailed...]

An Arbitrage Guide to Financial Markets (The Wiley Finance Series)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: An Arbitrage Guide to Financial Markets is the first book to explicitly show the linkages of markets for equities, currencies, fixed income and commodities. Using a unique structural approach, it dissects all markets the same way: into spot, forward and contingent dimensions, bringing out the simplicity and the commonalities of all markets. The book shuns stochastic calculus in favor of cash flow details of arbitrage trades. All math is simple, but there is lots of it. The book reflects the relative value mentality of an institutional trader seeking profit from misalignments of various market segments. The book is aimed at entrants into investment banking and dealing businesses, existing personnel in non-trading jobs, and people outside of the financial services industry trying to gain a view into what drives dealers in today’s highly integrated marketplace. A committed reader is guaranteed to leave with a deep understanding of all current issues. … [detailed...]

An Archaeology of Black Markets: Local Ceramics and Economies in Eighteenth-Century Jamaica (Florida Museum of Natural History: Ripley P.Bullen Series)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `For the first time we are led to appreciate the nature of power relations generated between the enslaved and the slavers through clandestine ceramic exchange networking in eighteenth-century Jamaica.`--E. Kofi Agorsah, Portland State University In eighenth-century Jamaica, an informal, underground economy existed among enslaved laborers. Mark Hauser uses pottery fragments to examine their trade networks and to understand how enslaved and free Jamaicans created communities that transcended plantation bodaries. An Archaeology of Black Markets utilizes both documentary and archaeological evidence to reveal how slaves practiced their own systematic forms of economic production, exchange, and consumption. Hauser compares the findings from a number of prevusly excavated sites and presents new analyses that reinterpret these collections in the context of island-wide trading networks. Trading allowed enslaved laborers to cross boundaries of slave life and enter into a black market of… [detailed...]

An Architect`s Guide to Fame : A Collection of Essays on why they got Famous and You didn`t

Description: Book DescriptionThis lively text provides a candid inquiry into the contemporary means by which architects get work and (for better or worse) become famous. In response to the reciprocal relationship between publicity and everyday architectural practice, this book examines the mechanisms by which architects seek publicity and manage to establish themselves and their work ahead of their colleagues. Through the essays of specialist contributors, this book enables the reader to understand the complex relationship between what they see as the built environment and the unwritten stories behind how it came about. * Internationally known architects bring an insider`s view of the profession to life * Shows architects how to establish a strong reputation in one of the most competitive professional fields * Links themes of contemporary culture to key architectural issues [detailed...]

An Architecture of the Ozarks: The Works of Marlon Blackwell

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `I live, practice, teach, and build in northwest Arkansas, in the foothills of the Ozark Mountains. It`s a place considered to be in the middle of nowhere, yet ironically close to everywhere. It is an environment of real natural beauty and, simultaneously, one of real constructed ugliness. Abandonment, exploitation, erasure and nostalgia are all aspects of this place and are conditions as authentic as its natural beauty and local form. This land of disparate conditions in not just a setting for my work -- it is part of the work. By choosing to live and work here -- to call it home -- I`ve been able to get beyond the surface of things, to turn over the rock and discover the complex and rich underbelly of my place -- its visceral presences and expressive character -- that so informs and sustains my efforts. I am working from the conviction that architecture is larger than the subject of architecture.` --Marlon Blackwell Marlon Blackwell is a passionate polemicist. He`s also a… [detailed...]

Jerome Kagan
An Argument for Mind

Publisher: Yale University Press
Description: In this elegantly written book, Jerome Kagan melds the history of the field of psychology during the past 50 years with the story of his own research efforts of the same period and an analysis of what he terms `the currently rocky romance between psychology and biology.` As Kagan unwinds his own history, he reveals the seminal events that have shaped his career and discusses how his assumptions have changed. With full appreciation for the contributions to psychology of history, philosophy, literature, and neuroscience, he approaches a wide range of fascinating topics, including: the abandonment of orthodox forms of behaviorism and psychoanalysis, the forces that inspired later-twentieth-century curiosity about young children, why B. F. Skinner chose to study psychology, why the study of science less often ignites imaginations today, our society`s obsession with erotic love, the resurgence of… [detailed...]

An Army of Davids: How Markets and Technology Empower Ordinary People to Beat Big Media, Big Government, and Other Goliaths

Publisher: —
Description: There was a time in the not-too-distant past when large companies and powerful governments reigned supreme over the little guy. But new technologies are empowering individuals like never before, and the Davids of the world-the amateur journalists, musicians, and small businessmen and women-are suddenly making a huge economic and social impact. In Army of Davids , author Glenn Reynolds, the man behind the immensely popular Instapundit.com, provides an in-depth, big-picture point-of-view for a world where the small guys matter more and more. Reynolds explores the birth and growth of the individual`s surprisingly strong influence in: arts and entertainment, anti-terrorism, nanotech and space research, and much more. The balance of power between the individual and the organization is finally evening out. And it`s high time the Goliaths of the world pay attention, because, as this book proves, an army of Davids is on the rise. `George Orwell feared… [detailed...]

An Assessment of Small Business Innovation Research Program at the Department of Energy

Publisher: —
Description: The Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) program is one of the largest examples of U.S. public-private partnerships. Founded in 1982, SBIR was designed to encourage small business to develop new processes and products and to provide quality research in support of the many missions of the U.S. government, including health, energy, the environment, and national defense. In response to a request from the U.S. Congress, the National Research Council assessed SBIR as administered by the five federal agencies that together make up 96 percent of program expenditures. This book, one of six in the series, reports on the SBIR program at the Department of Energy. It finds that, in spite of resource constraints, the DoE has made significant progress in meeting the legislative objectives of SBIR and that the program is effectively addressing the mission of the Department of Energy.

An Assessment of the Investment Climate in Kenya (Directions in Development)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Although Kenya has recorded some improvements in the last four years, including an increase in productivity, Kenyan firms still face an adverse business environment. The central objective of this book is to identify the main impediments to productivity growth faced by Kenyan firms. The top constraints identified by the Kenyan managers were tax rates, access to finance, corruption, security, infrastructure services (electricity and transportation), and business licensing. Kenya has reduced the corporate tax rates in recent years. Nevertheless, objective indicators suggest that the tax burden in Kenya remains higher than in most comparator countries. Although a more detailed analysis of the tax burden in Kenya is recommended, one potential impact of a high tax regime is higher evasion, as well as the presence of a larger informal sector. Notwithstanding a favorable lending regime with low real costs of debt and a high proportion of firms with good quality information, 90 percent… [detailed...]
