The Original Window

Publisher: —
Description: THE CREATIVE PROCESS: Every human effort entails and ought to require a conscious effort to be creative. Every creative act has value. Most people simply do not allow time for it or even contemplate its serendipitous presence. Too many obstacles get in the way. Once someone comes to acknowledge that creativity is a way of life, then the window is open. CREATIVITY AND ART put us in touch and enhance our grasp of reality. If the creative mind, which is shared by all, is to bring into existence something that was not there before, then we should investigate how this is done and enjoy, participate and instigate the process. Our survival depends on quick perceptions and our flexibility. OPEN UP YOUR EYES. They are the windows to invention, creative survival and existence. They are the means by which we open horizons to discovery and find new relationships in the world. If we are blessed with continuing good eyesight, they remain pre-eminent as a governing sensory organ, as they are the… [detailed...]

Vladimir Nabokov
The Original of Laura

2009 y.
Publisher: Penguin
Description: This legendary novel has been the source of much anxiety and contention for Nabokov`s fans - and family. The late Vladimir Nabokov requested that this unfinished work be destroyed, but his son, Dmitri, did not oblige, although neither did he allow the work to be published - until now. `The Original of Laura` is about a wonderfully large man called Philip Wild, married to a very promiscuous woman, and whose meditations concern the nature of death. The novel was complete in Nabokov`s mind, though he died before he could translate his vision on to paper. It is hard, however, to imagine any scholars, Nabokov enthusiasts or literature lovers being disappointed by even these fragments. [detailed...]

Vladimir Nabokov
The Original of Laura

2009 y.
Publisher: Knopf
Description: When Vladimir Nabokov died in 1977, he left instructions for his heirs to burn the 138 handwritten index cards that made up the rough draft of his final and unfinished novel, The Original of Laura. But Nabokov’s wife, Vera, could not bear to destroy her husband’s last work, and when she died, the fate of the manuscript fell to her son. Dmitri Nabokov, now seventy-five—the Russian novelist’s only surviving heir, and translator of many of his books—has wrestled for three decades with the decision of whether to honor his father’s wish or preserve for posterity the last piece of writing of one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. His decision finally to allow publication of the fragmented narrative—dark yet playful, preoccupied with mortality—affords us one last experience of Nabokov’s magnificent creativity, the quintessence of his unparalleled body of work.

The Origins Of Nonliberal Capitalism: Germany And Japan In Comparison (Cornell Studies in Political Economy)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Why was the rise of capitalism in Germany and Japan associated not with liberal institutions and democratic politics, but rather with statist controls and authoritarian rule? A stellar group of international scholars addresses this classic issue in political development. In The Origins of Nonliberal Capitalism, German sociologists and American and Japanese political scientists draw extensively on the work of economists and historians from their home countries, as well as from the United Kingdom and France. The contributors discuss the potential disappearance, evolution, and reconstitution of nonliberal capitalism in Germany and Japan by analyzing its historical origins from two perspectives: the emergence and survival of nonliberal capitalism, and the causes of differences between the systems of Germany and Japan. They also outline the requirements for internally coherent national models of an embedded capitalist economy. The histories of German and Japanese capitalism demonstrate… [detailed...]

The Origins and Demise of South African Apartheid: A Public Choice Analysis

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the early 1990s, South Africa experienced a remarkable transition to democracy. Nelson Mandela was freed from prison, his previously outlawed ANC was legalized, and all-race elections were held in 1994. What motivated South Africa`s former white leaders to hand over the reins of power to a black government? And what are the prospects for economic and political freedom in post-apartheid South Africa? The Origins and Demise of South African Apartheid addresses these questions,using public choice models to distill the essence of apartheid, to examine the reasons for its emergence in the first instance, and to study its subsequent evolution as the economy`s structure changed. The authors evaluate the role of foreign economic sanctions and other international pressures in precipitating the fall of apartheid but find that domestic economic problems, caused by apartheid policies themselves, were more important than foreign sanctions in crippling the South… [detailed...]

The Origins and Economic Impact of the First Bank of the United States, 1791-1797

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book focuses on the impact of the introduction of the First Bank of the United States (1791-1811) on the nascent financial system. The Bank dominated the financial scene of early America. Its prestigious list of clients included the United States Treasury, which deposited the bulk of the nation`s money in the vaults of the Bank in return for various banking services. The stage is set by describing the background events of 1791: Treasury Secretary Hamilton`s Bank Report and Congress`s reaction, the script bubble for Bank shares, and the choosing of board members and their decision to create nationwide branches. The Bank`s headquarters commenced business on December 12, 1791. New evidence shows how the Bank strongly affected the economy within two months of opening its doors, initially by flooding the market with its paper and then by sharply reversing course and curtailing liquidity. While the added liquidity helped initially to push a bull market in securities higher,… [detailed...]

Description: According to the Bible, ancient Israel`s neighbors worshipped a wide variety of gods. In recent years, scholars have sought a better understanding of this early polytheistic mileu and its relation to Yahweh, the God of Israel. Drawing on ancient Ugaritic texts and looking closely at Ugaritic deities, Mark Smith examines the meaning of `divinity` in the ancient near East and considers how this concept applies to Yahweh.

Eric H Mielants
The Origins of Capitalism and the `Rise of the West`

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Eric Mielants provides a fresh, interdisciplinary interpretation of the origins of modernity in general and of capitalism in particular. He argues that, contrary to established thinking, the `Rise of the West` should not be examined through the lens of the Industrial Revolution or the colonization of the New World but viewed through long-term developments that began in the Middle Ages. A fascinating overview of civilizations in East Asia, South Asia, and northwestern Africa is provided and then systematically compared to developments in Europe at the same time. Utilizing this analysis, the book addresses some of the most important current debates in world history, comparative sociology, political economy, sociological theory and historical sociology. Mielants uncovers the ways that existing theories (such as Marxism, World-Systems Theory, and Smithian Modernization Theory) have suffered from either Eurocentric or limited temporal and spatial analyses, preventing… [detailed...]

The Origins of Law And Economics: Essays By The Founding Fathers (The Locke Institute)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis unique collection of largely unpublished papers brings together the founding fathers of law and economics to provide their own views on the origins and intellectual history of the field. Law and economics emerged as a separate field of scholarship during the early 1960s, fueled by two seminal papers, one by Ronald Coase and one by Guido Calabresi. The ideas generated by scholars researching in the field have deeply influenced the major disciplines of economics and the law. These 16 essays (including three by Nobel Laureates in economic sciences) provide an impressive blend of differing experiences and varying perspectives, reflecting on the intellectual foundations of the field, its early struggles for recognition, and its remarkableadvance during the last four decades of the twentieth century, and into the twenty-first. The essays clearly outline, and contribute new insights into, all of the central issues of this still vibrant research program. A unifying theme… [detailed...]

Catherine Sophian
The Origins of Mathematical Knowledge in Childhood

2007 y.
Publisher: Routledge
Description: This book examines the origins and development of children`s mathematical knowledge. It contrasts the widely held view that counting is the starting point for mathematical development with an alternative comparison-of-quantities position. According to the comparison-of-quantities position, the concept of number builds upon more basic concepts of equality, inequality, and less-than and greater-than relations, which derive from comparisons between unenumerated quantities such as lengths. The concept of number combines these basic comparative concepts with the concept of a unit of measure, which allows one quantity to be described as a multiple of another. Sophian examines these alternative accounts of children`s developing mathematical knowledge in the light of research: on children`s counting, on their reasoning about continuous quantities such as length and area, on the development of the concept of unit, on additive and… [detailed...]

The Origins of Medieval Architecture : Building in Europe, A.D. 600-900

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description This book is the first devoted to the important innovations in architecture that took place in western Europe between the death of emperor Justinian in A.D. 565 and the tenth century. During this period of transition from Late Antiquity to the Middle Ages, the Early Christian basilica was transformed in both form and function. Charles B. McClendon draws on rich documentary evidence and archaeological data to show that the buildings of these three centuries, studied in isolation but rarely together, set substantial precedents for the future of medieval architecture. He looks at buildings of the so-called Dark Ages—monuments that reflected a new assimilation of seemingly antithetical “barbarian” and “classical” attitudes toward architecture and its decoration—and at the grand and innovative architecture of the Carolingian Empire. The great Romanesque and Gothic churches of subsequent centuries owe far more to the architectural… [detailed...]

Stuart A. Kauffman
The Origins of Order: Self-Organization and Selection in Evolution

1993 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: Stuart Kauffman here presents a brilliant new paradigm for evolutionary biology, one that extends the basic concepts of Darwinian evolution to accommodate recent findings and perspectives from the fields of biology, physics, chemistry and mathematics. The book drives to the heart of the exciting debate on the origins of life and maintenance of order in complex biological systems. It focuses on the concept of self-organization: the spontaneous emergence of order that is widely observed throughout nature Kauffman argues that self-organization plays an important role in the Darwinian process of natural selection. Yet until now no systematic effort has been made to incorporate the concept of self-organization into evolutionary theory. The construction requirements which permit complex systems to adapt are poorly understood, as is the extent to which selection itself can yield systems able to adapt more successfully. This book explores these themes. It shows how complex systems, contrary… [detailed...]

The Origins of Railway Enterprise: The Stockton and Darlington Railway, 1821-1863

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The Stockton and Darlington Railway, the first public railway to be empowered to convey goods and passengers by steam traction, has been dismissed by historians as fulfilling little more than a precursory role in the inauguration of the `Railway Age`. This book establishes its claim to recognition as a significant element in the maturing phase of Britain`s industrialisation after 1830, through an examination of its critical role in the contemporary national debate on the merits of steam power and its direct effect on the economic growth of south Durham and north-east Yorkshire, a region which became the most important iron-producing centre in the world, partly as a result of the Stockton and Darlington Railway`s role as a `fuel artery`. The experience ofthe company is of direct relevance to economic historians concerned with the regional basis of Britain`s industrialisation. [detailed...]

Edward Royce
The Origins of Southern Sharecropping (Labor and Social Change)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Vivid primary accounts of post-Civil War life by planters and freed slaves complement this study of the rise of southern sharecropping. Edward Royce employs both historical and sociological methods to probe the question of why slavery was replaced by sharecropping rather than by some other labor arrangement. His detailed analysis illuminates conflicts between labor and capital as one group struggles to preserve the plantation system while the other pursues a quest for land and autonomy. Royce contends that southern sharecropping occurred through a `constriction of possibilities,` that it was shaped by default rather than orchestrated by economic reconstruction by white landowners and black laborers. Highlighting the conflict-ridden nature of the process of social change, The Origins of Southern Sharecropping includes rich descriptions of the plantation system and gang labor, the freed slaves` dream of forty acres and a mule, the black colonization movement, the Freedman`s… [detailed...]

The Origins of Things: Sketches, Models, Prototypes

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn an effort to find the origin of all designed things, this exhibition and publication conduct an international survey of the history of design from William Morris`s wallpaper to Rem Koolhaas`s Prada store. Through examples of 30 completed research projects, The Origin of Things illuminates the process by which designers transform their often groundbreaking ideas into functional, manufacturable products. Drawings, cardboard models stuck together with tape and ultramodern computer animations are more significant here than the finished products, for they illuminate the designer`s process in a way that the finished product--unless it is a deconstructive design object!--does not. In addition to the evolution of the paperclip and GerritRietveld`s Zigzag Chair, The Origin of Things also reveals the steps that led up to the best kettle ever, to a strikingly snotty vase and to visionary cars, vacuum cleaners and a fold-up scooter.

The Origins of Tolkien`s Middle-earth for Dummies

Description: Book DescriptionJ.R.R. Tolkien`s novels of Middle-earth – The Hobbit, The Lord of the Rings trilogy , and The Silmarillian – have become some of the most famous, and most beloved, literary works of the twentieth century. And the Lord of the Rings films by director Peter Jackson have re-ignited interest in Tolkien and his works, as well as introduced his stories to a new generation of fans. Even if you`ve never read the novels and have only seen the films, you know that the world of Middle-earth is a complicated one. Tolkien took great care in representing this world, from creating new languages to including very particular cultural details that add to the richness of the world`s fabric.Many other books have been written about Tolkien and his works, but none have come close to providing the kind of reference needed to comprehend the world of Middle-earth.
