Quintilian: The Orator`s Education, III, Books 6-8

2002 y.
Publisher: Loeb Classical Library
Description: Quintilian, born in Spain about 35 CE, became a widely known and highly successful teacher of rhetoric in Rome. The Orator`s Education (Institutio Oratoria), a comprehensive training program in twelve books, draws on his own rich experience. It is a work of enduring importance, not only for its insights on oratory, but for the picture it paints of education and social attitudes in the Roman world. Quintilian offers both general and specific advice.

Quitter: Good Luck Not Dying

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This is a collection of the first five issues of the zine Quitter, written in various lengths of time between 2005 and 2008. Quitter started in early 2005 as a throw away idea and almost never made it to a second issue. The initial idea was for me to get back into writing after a long absence. I never meant to really share the zine with anyone besides my housemates, but it soon escaped, bringing back with it some halfway positive reviews. I personally still don`t care for issue #1, but it is included here for completeness. [detailed...]

Quonset Hut: Metal Living For The Modern Age

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWhen World War II came along, the American military found itself in need of a prefabricated, lightweight shelter that could be easily shipped and quickly assembled. The quonset hut, that sliced tube of corrugated metal, was the answer. Over a hundred thousand were produced as part of the war effort. In its aftermath, even more were built and existing huts were adapted to house the postwar population boom. Of course, it couldn`t last: the American desire for permanence meant decay and neglect for many of these rough-and-ready shelters and quickie warehouses. But in the midst of its almost tragic tale of extinction, the quonset hut has emerged as an unexpected icon of Americana and an oasis of architectural imagination. Travel the back roads of America and you will find the quonset`s distinctive shape enclosing everything from houses of worship to houses of pancakes. Quonset Hut tells the story of this unique architectural phenomena, from its birth during WWII as a… [detailed...]

Quotable Opera: Aria Ready for a Laugh? (Quotable Books)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionWhat they said when they were not singing. Here are hundreds of quotes that highlight the wit, wisdom and lunacy of the opera world. Luminaries Verdi, Puccini, Wagner, Caruso, Ruffo, Chaliapin, Melba, Sills, Callas, Toscanini, Beechamand other more recent personalities have had lots to say about opera, themselves and each other. There are venomous quotes from critics and emotional outbursts by performers and listeners. One hapless society matron tried complimenting soprano EileenFarrell at a reception in her honor with `My dear, you reminded me so much of Kate Smith.` The comparison so rattled the diva Farrell that she blurted out, `Well, kiss my ass!` and stormed out. Austrian conductor Franz Schalk is noted for the most emblematic words about opera life: `Every theatre is an insane asylum, but an opera theatre is the ward for the incurables.` This book will be a delight for aficionados of opera.

Quotation and Cultural Meaning in Twentieth-Century Music (New Perspectives in Music History and Criticism)

Description: Book DescriptionMusicians frequently incorporated portions of works by other musicians into their own compositions and performances throughout the twentieth century. This book examines how this practice of `quotation` affected cultural dialogues regarding race, childhood, madness and the mass media. When a musician borrows from a piece, he or she draws upon not only a melody but also the cultural associations of the original piece. By working with and altering a melody, a musician also transforms those associations. [detailed...]

Qusayr `Amra: Art and the Umayyad Elite in Late Antique Syria (Transformation of the Classical Heritage)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFrom the stony desolation of Jordan`s desert, it is but a step through a doorway into the bath house of the Qusayr `Amra hunting lodge. Inside, multicolored frescoes depict scenes from courtly life and the hunt, along with musicians, dancing girls, and naked bathing women. The traveler is transported to the luxurious and erotic world of a mid-eighth-century Muslim Arab prince. For scholars, though, Qusayr `Amra, probably painted in the 730s or 740s, has proved a mirage, its concreteness dissolved by doubts about date, patron, and meaning. This is the first book-length contextualization of the mysterious monument through a compelling analysis of its iconography and of the literary sources for the Umayyad period. It illuminates not only theway of life of the early Muslim elite but also the long afterglow of late antique Syria. Illustrations: 60 b/w photographs, 11 line illustrations, 2 maps [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: Zvi Griliches, a world-renowned pioneer in the field of productivity growth, has compiled in a single volume his pathbreaking research on R&,D and productivity. Griliches addresses the relationship between research and development (R&,D) and productivity, one of the most complex yet vital issues in today`s business world. Using econometric techniques, he establishes this connection and measures its magnitude for firm-, industry-, and economy-level data. Griliches began his studies of productivity growth during the 1950s, adding a variable of `knowledge stock` to traditional production function models, and his work has served as the point of departure for much of the research into R&,D and productivity. This collection of essays documents both Griliches`s distinguished career as well as the history of this line of thought.
