She doesn`t actually believe in destiny, of course - she`s way too busy looking after her husband, arranging her step-daughter`s wedding, and humouring her mum-on-a-mission (which currently involves Tony Blair). No surprise, then, that she`s out late at night, with nothing but a dog and a cricket bat for company. In short, Sally hasn`t time for a near-death experience.

Publisher: —
Description: The `Argentine disappointment`--why Argentina persistently failed to achieve sustained economic stability during the twentieth century--is an issue that has mystified scholars for decades. In Straining the Anchor , Gerardo della Paolera and Alan M. Taylor provide many of the missing links that help explain this important historical episode. Written chronologically, this book follows the various fluctuations of the Argentine economy from its postrevolutionary volatility to a period of unprecedented prosperity to a dramatic decline from which the country has never fully recovered. The authors examine in depth the solutions that Argentina has tried to implement such as the Caja de Conversion , the nation`s first currency board which favored a strict gold-standard monetary regime, the forerunner of the convertibility plan the nation has recently adopted. With many countries now using--or seriously contemplating--monetary arrangements similar to Argentina`s,… [detailed...]

Strange Case of Dr. Mabuse: A Study of the Twelve Films and Five Novels

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe Mabuse phenomenon is recognized as an icon of horror in Germany as Frankenstein and Dracula are in the United States. This work is a study of the 12 motion pictures and five books (and some secondary films) that make up the eight decades of adventures of master criminal Mabuse, created by author Norbert Jacques in the best-selling 1922 German novel and brought to the screen by master filmmaker Fritz Lang in the same year. Both on screen and off, the story of Dr. Mabuse is a story of love triangles and revenge, of murder, suicides, and suspicious deaths, of betrayals and paranoia, of fascism and tyranny, deceptions and conspiracies, mistaken identities, and transformation. This work, featuring much information never before published in English, provides an understanding of a modern mythology whose influence has pervaded popular culture even while the name Mabuse remains relatively unknown in the United States.

Forever searching, ignorant to boundaries and limitations, self-serving, he often blurs the line between brilliance and madness. Strange Colors on the Canvas is a memoir that finds an identity as unusual as the primary character himself, the gifted but struggling artist, a story passionately told by his own son. It is an intimate account of a strained father-son relationship, an emotional cause-and-effect that shapes itself as an evolution of conflict, contempt, desperation and deliverance. Intensely humorous at times, but often painful and deeply reflective, the order of family is put to the test and the result is a personal journey and discovery and an experience that will touch and enlighten us all.

Description: Book DescriptionGeorg Gudni has said of his work, inspired by his native Icelandic landscapes, `You go past the materials and into the painting itself.` The transparent, ethereal quality achieved in Gudni`s paintings can seem fragile at times. At other times, it is as though the perfectly contained yet limitless view presented is advancing toward the viewer, layer by layer, out of thin air. Hills, mountains, and valleys delicately take shape through a mist that is at once tangibly and perfectly drawn butalso evocative of invisible, faintly recalled imagery that seems to be drawn from the popular unconscious. Comprising a wealth of mostly unpublished material, Strange Familiar brings together Gudni`s unique, finely layered landscape paintings withselections from his vast collection of drawings, watercolors, notebooks, maps, and photographs, accompanied by illuminating texts by prominent commentators.
