Paul Gilmore
The Genuine Article: Race, Mass Culture, and American Literary Manhood

2001 y.
Publisher: Duke University Press
Description: In `The Genuine Article` Paul Gilmore examines the interdependence of literary and mass culture at a crucial moment in U.S. history. Demonstrating from a new perspective the centrality of race to the construction of white manhood across class lines, Gilmore argues that in the years before the Civil War, as literature increasingly became another commodity in the capitalist cultural marketplace, American authors appropriated middle-brow and racially loaded cultural forms to bolster their masculinity. From characters in Indian melodramas and minstrel shows to exhibits in popular museums and daguerreotype galleries, primitive racialized figures circulated as `the genuine article` of manliness in the antebellum United States. Gilmore argues that these figures were manipulated, translated, and adopted not only by canonical authors such as Hawthorne, Thoreau, Cooper, and Melville but also by African American and Native American writers like William Wells Brown and Okah Tubbee.

The Geography of Competition: Firms, Prices, and Localization

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book provides a comprehensive, up-to-date, and expert synthesis of location theory. What are the impacts of a firma??s geographic location on the locations of customers, suppliers, and competitors in a market economy? How, when, and why does this result in the clustering of firms in space? When and how is society made better or worse off as a result? This book uses dozens of locational models to address aspects of these three questions. Classical location problems considered include Greenhut-Manne, Hitchcock-Koopmans, and Weber-Launhardt. The book reinterprets competitive location theory, focusing on the linkages between Walrasian price equilibrium and the localization of firms. It also demonstrates that competitive location theory offers diverse ideas about the nature of market equilibrium in geographic space and its implications for a broad range of public policies, including free trade, industrial policy, regional development, and investment in infrastructure.

Benjamin J. Cohen
The Geography of Money

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The traditional assumption holds that the territory of money coincides precisely with the political frontiers of each nation state: France has the franc, the United Kingdom has the pound, the United States has the dollar. But the disparity between that simple mental landscape and the actual organization of currency spaces has grown in recent years, as territorial boundaries of individual states limit currency circulation less and less. Many currencies are used outside their `home` country for transactions either between nations or within foreign states. In this book, Benjamin J. Cohen asks what this new geography of money reveals about financial and political power. Cohen shows how recent changes in the geography of money challenge state sovereignty. He examines the role of money and the scope of cross-border currency competition in today`s world. Drawing on new work in geography and network theory to explain the new spatial organization of monetary relations, Cohen suggests that… [detailed...]

The Geography of Multinational Firms (Economics of Science, Technology and Innovation, Vol 12)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Geography of Multinational Firms addresses the implications of multinational production, and the forces that determine location. The analytical framework builds on recent developments in the theory of location and multinational production. In addition, more micro-oriented aspects of agglomeration are incorporated into the analysis. The issues addressed include the following: What determines the choice of entry mode and the choice between exports and affiliate production? How important are agglomeration forces in determining the location of affiliate production and R&,D? What is the nature of intra-firm trade flows? The main focus of this book is on empirical issues, although the hypotheses tested are solidly founded in theory. The analysis is based upon a unique data-set embracing approximately 90 percent of Swedish multinational firms in the period 1965 to 1994, with emphasis on developments in the period 1980 to 1994.

The Geology of Stratigraphic Sequences

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Preface to Second Edition It has been more than a decade since the appearance of the First Edition of this book. Much progress has been made, but some controversies remain. The original idea of Sloss and of Vail (building on the early work of Blackwelder, Grabau, Ulrich, Levorsen and others) that the stratigraphic record could be subdivided into sequences and that these sequences store essential information about basin-forming and subsidence processes remains as powerful an idea as when it was first formulated. The definition and mapping of sequences has become a standard part of the basin analysis process. Subsurface methods make use of advanced seismic-reflection analysis methods, with three-dimensional seismic methods, and seismic geomorphology adding important new dimensions to the analysis. Several advanced textbooks have now appeared that deal with the recognition and definition of sequences and their interpretation in terms of the evolution of depositional systems, the… [detailed...]

The Geometry of Evolution: Adaptive Landscapes and Theoretical Morphospaces

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The metaphor of the adaptive landscape - that evolution via the process of natural selection can be visualized as a journey across adaptive hills and valleys, mountains and ravines - permeates both evolutionary biology and the philosophy of science. The focus of this book is to demonstrate to the reader that the adaptive landscape concept can be put into actual analytical practice through the usage of theoretical morphospaces - geometric spaces of both existent and non-existent biological form - and to demonstrate the power of the adaptive landscape concept in understanding the process of evolution. The adaptive landscape concept further allows us to take a spatial approach to the concepts of natural selection, evolutionary constraint and evolutionary development. For that reason, this book relies heavily on spatial graphics to convey the concepts developed within these pages, and less so on formal mathematics. [detailed...]

The George Gershwin Reader (Readers on American Musicians)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionGeorge Gershwin is one of the giants of American music, unique in that he was both a brilliant writer of popular songs (`Swanee,` `I Got Rhythm,` `They Can`t Take That Away From Me`) and of more serious music, including `Rhapsody in Blue,` `An American in Paris,` and `Porgy and Bess.` Now, in The George Gershwin Reader, music lovers are treated to a spectacular celebration of this great American composer. The Reader offers a kaleidoscopic collection of writings by and about Gershwin, including more than eighty pieces of superb variety, color, and depth. There is a who`s who of famous commentators: bandleader Paul Whiteman, critics Robert Benchley, Alexander Woollcott, and Brooks Atkinson, fellow musicians Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Alec Wilder (who analyzes the songs `That Certain Feeling` and `A Foggy Day`), Leonard Bernstein, and the formidable modernist composer Arnold Schoenberg (who was Gershwin`s tennis partner in Hollywood).

The George W Bush Years

2007 y.
Publisher: New Holland Australia
Description: George W Bush mistook Slovakia for Slovenia, thought the inhabitants of Greece were called Greekians and didn`t know the name of Pakistan`s Prime Minister. And to him Bin Laden was probably an East-German car brand. Nevertheless, as months went by, he made a lot of progress in geopolitics, realising for instance that the Afghan mountains were packed with people like him, therefore he wasn`t the only religious fundamentalist on Earth. Of course, after eight years in power, he still has trouble distinguishing a Shiite from a Sunni, a Kurd or even a European. However, what he does now know is that on other side of the Atlantic Ocean, on the right hand side of Britain, lies an Old Continent, full of pacifist beatniks who speak several languages and who have all abolished the death penalty. In other words: true savages. He can still hardly tell the difference between a nice little morning breeze and a devastating hurricane and doesn`t know what a weapon of mass destruction really looks… [detailed...]
