Phil Mullan
The Imaginary Time Bomb: Why an Aging Population Is Not a Social Problem

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Imaginary Time Bomb diffuses the myth that the aging baby-boomer population is producing a downward economic spiral. Phil Mullan argues that the growing preoccupation with aging has nothing to do with demography in itself and more to do with justifying further reductions of the role of the state in the economy and curbing the welfare state.

Angus Cameron
The Imagined Economies of Globalization

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description`In this original and very accessible work Cameron and Palan make a major contribution to the narrative turn in political economy. Skillfully combining sustained theoretical critiques and contemporary empirical analyses, this politically engaged book promotes a paradigm shift that sheds new light on the changing relations among the economy, the political, and the social. It will quickly become a major reference point for its account of globalization as a persuasive story and a flawed reality. I recommend it unreservedly` Bob Jessop How do theories, discussions and debates about globalisation shape the very subject they reflect on? How are conceptions of the state, society and politics are changing in the age of globalisation? This book critically introduces the main contemporary debates on globalization and demonstrates how conventional versions or narratives of globalization have served to shape policy responses at both state and… [detailed...]

Laird Barron
The Imago Sequence and Other Stories

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: To the long tradition of eldritch horror pioneered and refined by writers such as H.P. Lovecraft, Peter Straub, and Thomas Ligotti, comes Laird Barron, an author whose literary voice invokes the grotesque, the devilish, and the perverse with rare intensity and astonishing craftsmanship. Collected here for the first time are nine terrifying tales of cosmic horror, including the World Fantasy Award-nominated novella `The Imago Sequence,` the International Horror Guild Award-nominated `Proboscis,` and the never-before published `Procession of the Black Sloth.` Together, these stories, each a masterstroke of craft and imaginative irony, form a shocking cycle of distorted evolution, encroaching chaos, and ravenous insectoid hive-minds hidden just beneath the seemingly benign surface of the Earth.

James Raymond Vreeland
The Imf and Economic Development

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Why do governments turn to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and with what effects? In this book, James Vreeland examines this question by analyzing cross-national time-series data from throughout the world. Vreeland argues that governments enter into IMF programs for economic and political reasons, and he finds that the programs hurt economic growth and redistribute income upward. By bringing in the IMF, governments gain political leverage - via conditionality - to push through unpopular policies. For certain constituencies, these policies dampen the effects of bad economic performance by redistributing income. But IMF programs doubly hurt others who are less well off: They lower growth and exacerbate income inequality. [detailed...]

The Immensity of the Here and Now: A Novel of 9.11

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThroughout his career, prize-winning author Paul West has reimagined the lives of some of history?s most intriguing figures. In his newest novel, The Immensity of the Here and Now, he brings his creative vision to bear on the defining event of our time: the terrorist attacks of 9.11. West gives voice to two men: Shrop, who struggles to recover his memory and the philosophical `grid` in which he slip-cased the world?both lost with the destruction of the Twin Towers, and Quent, the war-wounded therapist who tries to restore Shrop?s identity, but loses his own grip on reality in the process. Both men, pushed beyond their limits in the aftermath of 9.11, become symbols of what the I Ching calls `Brilliance Injured.` With the exhilarating prose that has become his trademark, West evokes a world crippled by terror and fueled by rage. The Immensity of the Here and Now is a moving and profound meditation on the tragedy of 9.11, spun out in a dialogue… [detailed...]

The Immortality Option

Description: Book DescriptionTitan, Saturn`s largest moon, was frozen and lifeless…but only by some definitions! Organic life had never evolved on its barren surface, but somehow Titan had become home to the Taloids, a race of self-aware robots who lived in competing city-states, grew houses and tools, tended their robotic herds, and worshipped a god called the Lifemaker. When humans discovered the Taloids on Titan, they suspected that the robots` sentience had evolved by accident--artificial intelligence gone wrong. But where was the ancient civilization that had spawned them? With no help from the Taloids--who seemed to know nothing of their own origins--Earth`s finest scientists were stumped. Then strange blocks of code were discovered in Titan`s ancient computer banks. Neither Taloid digital DNA nor the operating system for Titan`s robotic `ecology,` the code had clearly lain undisturbed for eons. But now, with human help, it was beginning to activate at last… [detailed...]

The Impact Zone: Mastering Golf`s Moment of Truth

2007 y.
Publisher: Thomas Dunne Books
Description: Impact has long been called golf`s `moment of truth,` and great golfers have spent countless hours working on their swings trying to upgrade their impact dynamics as the golf club approaches, contacts, then swings through the ball. For the first time, with `The Impact Zone`, golfers will have a book that focuses their attention on the very same region of the swing on which professional golfers have always concentrated. `The Impact Zone` is a unique instructional guide in that everything in it either focuses on or applies to improving a golfer`s understanding and execution of impact. Here, acclaimed professional golfer Bobby Clampett concludes that the overwhelming bias and convention of today`s contemporary teaching environment is to value swing styles over swing dynamics, and in so doing, the overwhelming majority of golf teachers miss the boat in terms of teaching the game effectively. Ultimately this emphasis on swing style comes at the expense of helping golfers to… [detailed...]

The Impact of Climate Change on the United States Economy

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Understanding the impacts of climate change on economic behaviour is an important aspect of deciding when to take policy actions to prevent or mitigate its consequences. This book applies advanced new economics methodologies to assess impacts on potentially vulnerable aspects of the US economy: agriculture, timber, coastal resources, energy expenditure, fishing, outdoor recreation. It is intended to provide improved understanding of key issues raised in the recent Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports. It concludes that some climate change may produce economic gains in the agriculture and forestry sectors, whereas energy, coastal structures, and water sectors may be harmed. The book will serve as an important reference for the scientific, economic, and policy community, and will also be of interest to natural resource/environmental economists as an example of economic valuation techniques. The volume will clearly be of main importance to researchers and policymakers… [detailed...]

The Impact of Geographic Deregulation on the American Banking Industr

Publisher: —
Description: With the passage of the Riegle-Neal Interstate Banking and Branching Efficiency Act in 1994, some Americans celebrated the dawn of a new banking era. This law represented the first revision of the Glass-Steagall Act of 1933. In the intervening sixty years, the U.S. banking industry had undergone dramatic changes, both domestically and internationally, and yet the laws associated with banking remained fixed and intransigent. The new legislation represented a rapid realignment of American banking laws withsocietal norms, as such, it generated confusion and uncertainty for many bankers and their constituents, for example, stockholders, customers, and employees. Matasar and Heiney examine public data since 1994 in an effort to fully apprise scholars and practitioners of the changes that have irrevocably altered the landscape of American banking.

The Impact of Globalization on the United States [Three Volumes]

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Over the past decade, a virtual cottage industry has arisen to produce book and articles describing the nature, origins, and impact of globalization. Largely and surprisingly absent from this literature, however, has been extensive discussion of how globalization is affecting the United States itself. Indeed, it is rarely even acknowledged that while the United States may be providing a crucial impetus to globalization, the process of globalization -- once set in motion -- has become a force unto itself. Thus globalization has its own logic and demands that are having a profound impact within the United States, often in ways that are unanticipated. This set offers the first in-depth, systematic effort at assessing the United States not as a globalizing force but as a nation being transformed by globalization. Among the topics studied are globalization in the form of intensified international linkages, globalization as a universalizing and/or Westernizing force, globalization in the… [detailed...]
