Penelope Anne Hawkins
The Open Economy and Its Financial Constraints

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe Open Economy and its Financial Constraints explores the role of money and finance in an open economy. The existence of money and global financial flows compound the likelihood of financial constraints, in particular, financial vulnerability, financial exclusion and financial fragility, and create the possibility of unemployment in open economies. Penelope Hawkins focuses on financial openness and contends that while vulnerable economies can benefit from long-term international capital, greater financial exposure makes them increasingly susceptible to the crises associated with financial withdrawals. The author explores in detail the experiences of South Africa, Brazil and Thailand and finds that the consequences of financial liberalization remain uncertain. She examines the rationale behind the distribution of credit within and between countries, and goes on to construct a financial vulnerability index as an empirical mechanism to rank nations according to… [detailed...]

The Open Economy and the Environment: Development, Trade and Resources in Asia

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionDeforestation and agricultural land degradation are major problems in developing countries. While they have attracted much attention, most analyses and policy recommendations examine them in isolation from their broader economic and policy setting. This path breaking and timely book takes an economy-wide approach to the analysis of developing-country resource degradation problems. The Open Economy and the Environment asks what globalization means for environmental quality and the use of natural resources in developing economies. The authors develop theoretical models that trace the effects of trade and trade liberalization on sectoral resource allocation, factor returns, income and welfare, as well as incentives to clear forest and degrade agricultural land. The models reflect important developing economy features including spatial distinctions between uplands and lowlands, open-access forest resources and the special features of domestic food markets. The authors… [detailed...]

Susan Stewart
The Open Studio : Essays on Art and Aesthetics

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description Poets often have responded vitally to the art of their time, and ever since Susan Stewart began writing about art in the early 1980s, her work has resonated with practicing artists, curators, art historians, and art critics. Rooted in a broad and learned range of references, Stewart`s fresh and independent essays bridge the fields of literature, aesthetics, and contemporary art. Gathering most of Stewart`s writing on contemporary art--long and short pieces first published in small magazines, museum and gallery publications, and edited collections-- The Open Studio illuminates work ranging from the installation art of Ann Hamilton to the sculptures and watercolors of Thomas Schutte, the prints and animations of William Kentridge to the films of Tacita Dean. Stewart`s essays are often the record of studio conversations with living artists and curators, and of the afterlife of those experiences in the solitude of her own study. Considering a wide… [detailed...]

Anna Cancogni
The Open Work

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionMore than twenty years after its original appearance in Italian, The Open Work remains significant for its powerful concept of `openness`--the artist`s decision to leave arrangements of some constituents of a work to the public or to chance--and for its striking anticipation of two major themes of contemporary literary theory: the element of multiplicity and plurality in art, and the insistence on literary response as an interactive process between reader and text. The questions Umberto Eco raises, and the answers he suggests, are intertwined in the continuing debate on literature, art, and culture in general. This entirely new edition, edited for the English-language audience with the approval of Eco himself, includes an authoritative introduction by David Robey that explores Eco`s thought at the period of The Open Work , prior to his absorption in semiotics. The book now contains key essays on Eco`s mentor… [detailed...]

The OpenGL Extensions Guide

Publisher: —
Description: OpenGL is the premier environment for developing 2D and 3D graphics and game applications. The interface has been the choice of game programmers, primarily because of its cross-platform operability, but also, because it is constantly evolving to keep pace with hardware advances in the form of extensions. Until now, the game industry was lacking one single, concise reference to help make sense of the dozens of extensions available. The OpenGL Extensions Guide provides a valuable resource that concentrates specifically on the extensions most important to developing modern 3D games. The book describes extensions in groups that modify or augment similar components of the base OpenGL architecture. Key Features: * Discusses all of the essential OpenGL extensions in detail and provides an invaluable reference tool to the OpenGL programmer * Each extension is divided into a discussion section and one or two reference sections named `New Functions` and `Extended Functions.` … [detailed...]

The Opera Singer and The Silent Film

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionFilm technology developments in the early 20th century opened up a new world of possibilities for the motion picture industry, and opera, relying as it did on the melodramatic storyline and grand pantomime acting, was an ideal subject forearly silent film. Even deprived of their principal glory?their voices?opera singers were among the first prominent screen stars. This book examines the relationship between the established operatic stars of the late 19th and early 20th centuries and the newly developing motion picture industry. It concentrates primarily on developments between 1895 and 1926, from the invention of the commercially exploitable motion picture to the coming of viable sound on film. Early chapters discuss the changing role of the opera star prior to and during the development of film as a popular commercial medium, and explore the technological innovations that eventually enabled opera to move out of the strict confines of the opera house… [detailed...]

The Operas of Benjamin Britten : Expression and Evasion (Aldeburgh Studies in Music)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe delicate balance between private and public communication, and the tension between art as self-expression and art as moral resolution were key concerns in Britten`s music. Seymour examines ways in which Britten`s operas explored and articulated the inherent ambiguity and latent sexuality of music, particularly song, and suggests that Britten`s operas may illustrate his search for a public `voice` which would embody, communicate, and perhaps resolve his private beliefs and anxieties. Analyses of Britten`s operas from Paul Bunyan to Death in Venice, the three Church Parables, and several of the `children`s operas` offer evidence that, for Britten, opera was the natural medium through which to explore, express and, paradoxically, repress his private concerns. CLAIRE SEYMOUR is an Opera Studies Tutor at Rose Bruford College, Kent. [detailed...]

The Optimistic Child: A Proven Program to Safeguard Children Against Depression and BuildLifelong Resilience

2007 y.
Publisher: Houghton Mifflin
Description: In The Optimistic Child, Dr. Martin E.P.Seligman offers parents, teachers, and coaches a well-validated program to prevent depression in children. In a thirty-year study, Seligman and his colleagues discovered the link between pessimism - dwelling on the most catastrophic cause of any setback - and depression. Seligman shows adults how to teach children the skills of optimism that can help them combat depression, achieve more on the playing field and at school, and improve their physical health. As Seligman states in his new afterword for this edition, `Teaching children optimism is more, I realized, than just correcting pessimism… It is the creation of a positive strength, a sunny but solid future-mindedness that can be deployed throughout life - not only to fight depression and to come back from failure, but also to be the foundation of success and vitality.` [detailed...]

Description: Amazon.comAfter wowing kids and critics alike in the UK, this smart and suprisingly gritty historical fantasy from award-winning Welsh author and poet Catherine Fisher finally arrives in the US. Fisher grabs readers quickly with a convincingly imagined Greco-Egyptian setting and characters that defy quick classification. Our heroine, Mirany, begins the story as a timid teen serving the High Priestess, the masked Speaker who discerns the wishes of a god through a mysterious island oracle. When the currentArchon (the sequestered God-on-Earth) passes a secret note to Mirany just before he`s sacrificed, the story throws intrigue onto intrigue with a murder plot, a drunken musician, a conflicted scribe, a slick tomb robber, an offended Rain Goddess, and no shortage of mystic burial rituals and dusty tombs. Fisher`s biggest accomplishment is that for all the page-turning action, she still manages to raise some pretty heady ideas about death, ambition, and the nature of faith. Expect both… [detailed...]
