The City: Inside the Great Expectation Machine : Myth and Reality in Institutional Investment and the Stock Market

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe landscape of our financial system is dominated by institutional investment. The funds move markets when they act, and corporate empires can rise, fall or change hands on the tide of institutional opinion and the flow of equity. Today,in many ways, these institutions are the City, such is their influence over the whole financial process. They are at the heart of the expectation machine, the Capital of capital. These all-powerful financial players cast a long shadow over the worlds of investment, corporate and venture finance, and yet City outsiders - from private investors to company directors - many of whose expectations and fortunes are tied to the flow of equity, know little about them. They may glimpse parts of the process throughthe, frequently distorted, lens of the press, they may find their activities and fortunes affected by the movements of institutional players, but rarely do they understand the subtle and complex relationships that drive behaviour of the… [detailed...]

The Civic Culture of Local Economic Development

Publisher: —
Description: In this seminal work, the authors argue that there are distinct local factors that shape the environment of economic development decision-making. These factors, taken together, constitute a community?s local civic culture. Using survey and case study data from U.S. and Canadian cities, the authors make the case that different cultures will produce different types of economic development policies, and that local civic culture will effect the whole array of local policies.

The Civil Rights Reader: American Literature from Jim Crow to Reconciliation

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This anthology of drama, essays, fiction, and poetry presents a thoughtful, classroom-tested selection of the best literature for learning about the long civil rights movement. Unique in its focus on creative writing, the volume also ranges beyond a familiar 1954-1968 chronology to include works from the 1890s to the present. The civil rights movement was a complex, ongoing process of defining national values such as freedom, justice, and equality. In ways that historical documents cannot, these collected writings show how Americans negotiated this process--politically, philosophically, emotionally, spiritually, and creatively. Gathered here are works by some of the most influential writers to engage issues of race and social justice in America, including James Baldwin, Flannery O`Connor, Amiri Baraka, and Nikki Giovanni. The volume begins with works from the post-Reconstruction period when racial segregation became legally sanctioned and institutionalized. This section, titled `The… [detailed...]

The Civil War Art of Mort KA?nstler

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Mort KA?nstler, the premier historical artist in America today, has focused on the Civil War for over twenty years. Immersed in a life-long research of the subject, he works closely with historians and scholars to ensure the historical accuracy of each painting. Collected in this volume, for the first time in his career, are more than 175 of Mort KA?nstler`s major paintings chronicling the Civil War, in addition to numerous portraits, sketches, and studies. The text includes commentary by Rod Gragg, Mort KA?nstler, James M. McPherson, and James I. Robertson, Jr. Many of his most dramatic paintings depict critical battles--there are more than thirty-five paintings on the Battle of Gettysburg alone--but KA?nstler also humanizes the defining conflict of the United States. The portrayal of encamped leaders as they plot strategy, the struggles of daily life for soldiers far from home, and the romance of antebellum life, all contribute texture and detail to our understanding of Civil… [detailed...]

The Civil War Paintings of Mort Kunstler, Vol. 1: Fort Sumter to Antietam

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: For nearly thirty years, Mort KA?nstler has focused his considerable artistic talent on interpreting the Civil War. In crafting his work to reflect poignant moments or critical circumstances of the conflict, he has turned to leading historians and scholars?such as Henry Steele Commager, James McPherson, William C. Davis, and James I. Robertson Jr.?for informative details that he has then translated on canvas to create an indelible image of this defining ordeal in America`s history. More than 160 of these images?supplemented by preliminary sketches, early studies, and photographs of works in progress?are the basis for these four volumes. KA?nstler has also explored the human side of this national struggle. Thus he has produced thoughtful studies of leaders at decisive moments, instances of daily camp life for the soldiers, and those early romantic notions that it would be a bloodless war, predicated on the belief that a show of inner strength would prevail. … [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionWhen the Civil War broke out, Missouri was secured for the Union, but many Southern-leaning citizens in the border state resented the Federal occupation. Fighting along the border flared up again as hundreds of boys and young men took to the bush to champion the Rebel cause. Waging a particularly vicious brand of guerilla warfare, they stayed to fight long after regular Confederate forces had been driven from the state. Although William `Bloody Bill` Anderson always warrants special mention in books about Confederate Civil War guerrilla William Quantrill, Anderson?s story has scarcely been told in its own right.

Description: Caesar (C. Iulius, 102–44 BC), statesman and soldier, defied the dictator Sulla, served in the Mithridatic wars and in Spain, pushed his way in Roman politics as a `democrat` against the senatorial government, was the real leader of the coalition with Pompey and Crassus, conquered all Gaul for Rome, attacked Britain twice, was forced into civil war, became master of the Roman world, and achieved wide-reaching reforms until his murder.

The Civilian Conservation Corps in Arizona`s Rim Country: Working in the Woods

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Part of the massive relief effort of Roosevelt`s New Deal, the CCC was created in 1933 to give young men an opportunity to work and make money to help families devastated by the Great Depression, and to participate in forest and conservation projects across the country. In Arizona, thousands of young men, many of them from the industrial Northeast, served in the state`s CCC forest camps. Arizona`s Mogollon Rim is a spectacular expanse of cliffs that slices through half the state, stretching from Sedona eastward to New Mexico. Along with the White Mountains, it includes the largest contiguous forest of ponderosa pine in America. Remote and little-visited in the 1930s, the Rim Country offered copious outlets for the CCC men`s energies: building roads, public campsites, hiking trails, fire lookout towers, and administration buildings, fighting fires, controlling erosion, eliminating vermin, and restoring damaged soils. The CCC enrollees were also given an opportunity to continue… [detailed...]

The Civilian Conservation Corps in Nevada: From Boys to Men (Wilbur S. Shepperson Series in Nevada History)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Great Depression of the 1930s had a devastating impact on sparsely populated Nevada and its two major industries, mining and agriculture. Even prior to the national economic collapse, nature and overgrazing had rendered millions of acres in the arid state unusable. However, thanks to Nevada`s powerful senate delegation, Roosevelt`s New Deal funding flowed abundantly into the state. Among the programs thus supported was the Civilian Conservation Corps, a federal program intended to provide jobs for unemployed young men and a pool of labor for essential public lands rehabilitation projects. In all, nearly 31,000 young men were employed in fifty-nine CCC camps throughout Nevada, most of them from outside the state. These `boys,` as they were called, went to work improving the state`s forests, parks, wildlife habitats, roads, fences, irrigation systems, flood-control systems, and rangelands, while learning valuable skills on the job, through vocational courses, and in a formal… [detailed...]

The Civilization of Babylonia and Assyria: Its Remains, Language, History, Religion, Commerce, Law, Art and Literature

Publisher: Lost Arts Media
Description: What we understand about ancient cultures of Mesopotamia we know mostly from the Babylonians and Assyrians. These ancient peoples had developed a manner of writing, known as cuneiform, that were well preserved onto clay tablets, and survive to this day. As a result of the combined efforts of explorers, decipherers, archaeologists, and many others, the fantastic histories of these lost civilizations have been raised from beneath the mounds, which hid their secrets for countless centuries. These early city-states are credited with developing some of civilization`s firsts, from the first experiments in agriculture, the domestication of animals, and the establishment of a marketplace, to the origin of mathematics, our concept of time reckoning and a fundamental understanding of our code of laws . The Babylonians and Assyrians, along with their predecessors, the Sumerians, provided subsequent civilizations, including our own, the basis for civilized living.
