The Industrial Revolution: A History in Documents

2006 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: The Industrial Revolution: A History in Documents uses a wide variety of primary source documents to chronicle a period of great international social and technological change that began in England in the 18th century. Improvements were made to the steam engine that meant that many tasks that had been done by hand in the past could be mechanized. With locomotives and steamships, goods could now be transported very quickly and within a reasonably predictable time. Other changes included the use of iron and steel, invention of new machines that increased production (including the spinning jenny), development of the factory system, and important developments in transportation and communication (including the telegraph). Thay all led to agricultural improvements, a wider distribution of wealth, political changes reflecting the shift in economic power, and sweeping social changes. This book relies on primary sources such as personal diaries, advice books, poems, business reports, letters,… [detailed...]

The Industrial Transformation of Subarctic Canada (Nature, History, Society Series)

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The industrialization of Canada`s Subarctic relied upon the region`s large northwestern lakes: Winnipeg, Athabasca, Great Slave, and Great Bear. Between 1921 and 1960, these lakes comprised a seam in the Canadian interior where industrial economies took root, transgressing political geographies and superseding the historically dominant fur trade. The Industrial Transformation of Subarctic Canada reveals the history of human impact upon the North. It provides a baseline, grounded in historical and scientific evidence, for measuring environmental change in the Subarctic. Liza Piper examines the sustainability of industrial economies, the value of resource exploitation in volatile ecosystems, and the human consequences of northern environmental change. She also addresses northern communities` historical resistance to external resource development and their fight for survival in the face of intensifying environmental and economic pressures.--Liza Piper is an assistant professor of history… [detailed...]

Abraham Joshua Heschel
The Ineffable Name of God: Man: Poems

2007 y.
Publisher: Continuum
Description: These 66 poems, here in English and Yiddish on facing pages, were collected in the first book Abraham Joshua Heschel ever published. They appeared in Warsaw in 1933 when Heschel was 26 years old and still a doctoral candidate in philosophy at the University of Berlin. Written between 1927 and 1933 - and never published in English before - this is the intimate spiritual diary of a devout European Jew, loyal to the revelation at Sinai and afflicted with reverence for all human beings. These poems sound themes that will resonate throughout Heschel`s later popular writings: human holiness, a passion for truth, awe and wonder before nature, God`s quest for righteousness, solidarity with the downtrodden, and unwavering commitment to tikkun olam. In these poems, we also discover a young man`s acute loneliness, dismay at God`s distance, and dreams of spiritual and sensual intimacy with a woman. [detailed...]

The Inexact and Separate Science of Economics

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book offers a comprehensive introduction to the fundamentals of standard economics, to the strategies economists employ in applying their theories to solve particular problems, and to the ways in which economists assess their theories. The author points out that economic theorists share a vision of economic theory as a `separate` science, believing that a single theory focusing on one cause, rational `greed,` can capture the basic features of the whole economic realm. Professor Hausman argues that since economic phenomena are so messy, and economic theory is thus hard to test, it is accepted because its fundamental assumptions are seen as acceptable on an intuitive level. Evidence from other sources, particularly psychology, should be used by economists in their explorations. [detailed...]

The Infamous King of the Comstock: William Sharon And the Gilded Age in the West (Wilbur S. Shepperson Series in Nevada History)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: William Sharon was one of the most colorful scoundrels in the nineteenth-century mining West. He epitomized the robber barons of the nation`s Gilded Age and the political corruption and moral decay for which that period remains notorious, yet he was also a visionary capitalist who controlled more than a dozen of the greatest mines on Nevada`s mighty Comstock Lode, built the Virginia &, Truckee Railroad, manipulated speculation and prices on the San Francisco Stock Exchange, and revived the collapsed Bank of California. One enemy called him `a thoroughly bad man?a man entirely void of principle,` while a Comstock neighbor called him `one of the best men that ever lived in Virginia City.` Both descriptions were reasonably accurate. In this first-ever biography of one of Nevada`s most reviled historical figures, author Michael Makley examines Sharon`s complex nature and the turbulent times in which he flourished. Arriving in San Francisco shortly after the Gold Rush began, Sharon… [detailed...]

Perched on the edge of our Solar System, Wendy and her colleagues on board the space station DeepSolar 3 studied the asteroids and comets in the Oort-the spherical cloud beyond our Solar System. It was interesting research, but hardly exciting-until Wendy discovers an ancient, dark Object entering the Solar System from deep space. At first, she`s thrilled to make such an exotic discovery, but her enthusiasm soon turns into horror as the Object begins to destroy anything crossing its path, becoming larger, faster, and more deadly. Is it a black hole? Is it a weapon? As the Object moves through the Solar System, leaving unimaginable destruction in its wake, Wendy and her team must race against the clock to unlock its secrets. And time is running out, because it`s already moving toward its next target-the Earth! [detailed...]

The Inflation-Targeting Debate (National Bureau of Economic Research Studies in Income and Wealth)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Over the past fifteen years, a significant number of industrialized and middle-income countries have adopted inflation targeting as a framework for monetary policymaking. As the name suggests, in such inflation-targeting regimes, the central bank is responsible for achieving a publicly announced target for the inflation rate. While the objective of controlling inflation enjoys wide support among both academic experts and policymakers, and while the countries that have followed this model have generally experienced good macroeconomic outcomes, many important questions about inflation targeting remain.In Inflation Targeting, a distinguished group of contributors explores the many underexamined dimensions of inflation targeting—its potential, its successes, and its limitations—from both a theoretical and an empirical standpoint, and for both developed and emerging economies. The volume opens with a discussion of the optimal formulation of inflation-targeting… [detailed...]

The Influence of Star Trek on Television, Film and Culture

2007 y.
Publisher: McFarland Publishing Company
Description: When the first season of Star Trek opened to American television viewers in 1966, the thematically insightful sci-fi story line presented audiences with the exciting vision of a bold voyage into the final frontiers of space and strange, new galactic worlds. Perpetuating this enchanting vision, the story has become one of the longest running and most multifaceted franchises in television history. Moreover, it has presented an inspiring message for the future, addressing everything from social, political, philosophical, and ethical issues to progressive and humanist representations of race, gender, and class. This book contends that Star Trek is not just a set of television series, but has become a pervasive part of the identity of the millions of people who watch, read and consume the films, television episodes, network specials, novelizations, and fan stories. Examining Star Trek from various critical angles, the essays in this collection provide vital new insights into the… [detailed...]

The Influence of Synaesthesia on 20th Century Art and Beyond: Myths, Reality and Artistic Expressions of the Cross-sensory Experience

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The phenomenon of Synaesthesia, the ?seeing-of sounds? or ?hearing-of-colours? has probably always fascinated human beings,but it was not until the late 19th century that it became a serious topic of scientific exploration as well as an inspiration for poets, musicians and visual artists. The dialogue between science and art gave rise to various concepts about the unity of all senses and the possible connection to a higher consciousness. Early Modernist artists, most notably Vassily Kandinsky, aspired to create that unity of the sensual experience and thus to express the spiritual dimension of their art. Later research in neuro-science however, has lead to a de-mystification of Synaesthesia. The question arises weather Synaesthesia is still a relevant inspiration for artists in a time of high multimedia exposure. The exploration of that question is equally interesting for cultural historians, audio-visual artists, film-enthusiasts, neuro-scientists or people who see a clear soprano… [detailed...]

The Influence of Tennessee Williams: Essays on Fifteen American Playwrights

2008 y.
Publisher: McFarland
Description: The author of `A Streetcar Named Desire and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof` was never shy about drawing on his personal and family drama for stage material. This collection of 15 essays examines how Williams`s confessional style and subject matter in turn influenced a diverse group of American playwrights over the past six decades. Critical comparisons with William Inge, Edward Albee, Neil Simon, David Mamet, Beth Henley, Christopher Durang, Tony Kushner, and others reveal the complexity of his influence. A special feature of this collection is its emphasis on how Williams was received by African American dramatists, including Lorraine Hansberry, August Wilson, Adrienne Kennedy and Suzan-Lori Parks. The collection ends with an original interview with Edward Albee on why and how Williams influenced him. [detailed...]
