Dick Netzer
The Property Tax, Land Use, and Land Use Regulation (Studies in Fiscal Federalism and State-Local Finance)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Dick Netzer, a leading public finance economist specializing in state and local issues and urban government, brings together in this comprehensive volume essays by top scholars connecting the property tax with land use. They explore the idea that the property tax is used as a partial substitute for land use regulation and other policies designed to affect how land is utilized. Like many economists, the contributors see some type of property taxation as the more efficient means of helping to shape land use. Some of the essays analyze a conventional property tax, while others consider radically different systems of property taxation. The first paper sets the stage, modeling taxes on land and buildings in the context of a dynamic model of real estate markets. The remaining papers examine how various tax mechanisms and non-tax alternatives to regulating and determining land use, such as zoning and private neighborhood associations, complement or substitute for one another. Urban… [detailed...]

Barnaby Rogerson
The Prophet Muhammad: A Biography

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn this fascinating and insightful biography, Barnaby Rogerson explores the life and times of Muhammad. Vividly describing the sixth-century Arabia where Muhammad was born, Rogerson charts his early years among the flocks, the caravans and the markets of his native Mecca, the night he received his religious vision, the perilous years of reciting the revelations in Mecca, his escape to Yathrib (Medina) and his subsequent battles. In his lifetime Muhammad established a new religion, Islam, a new state, the first united Arabia, and a new literary language-the classical Arabic of the Qur`an. A generation after his death, he would be acknowledged as the founder of a world empire and a new civilization. Any one of these achievements would be more than enough to permanently establish his genius, but Muhammad also managed to stay true to himself and retained to his last days the humility, courtesy and humanity that he had learned as an orphan and shepherd boy in central… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: A dazzling collection of stories, The Prophet of Zongo Street takes readers to a world that seamlessly blends African folklore and myths with modernity. Set primarily on Zongo Street, a fictitious community in West Africa, the stories -- which are reminiscent of the works of Ben Okri and Amos Tutuola -- introduce us to wonderfully quirky characters and the most uproarious, poignant, and rawest moments of life. There`s Kumi, the enigmatic title character who teaches a young boy to finally ask questions of his traditions. And as Ali moves his characters to America we meet Felix, who struggles with America`s love of the exotic in `Rachmaninov.` The Prophet of Zongo Street heralds a new voice and showcases Mohammed Naseehu Ali`s extraordinary ability to craft stories that are both allegorical and unforgettable.

Description: The stirring, bloody, and tragic saga that inspired such artists as Wagner, Borges, and Tolkien Written in Iceland a century after the close of the Viking Age, The Prose Edda is the source of most of what we know of Norse mythology. Its tales are peopled by giants, dwarves, and elves, superhuman heroes and indomitable warrior queens. Its gods live with the tragic knowledge of their own impending destruction in the cataclysmic battle of Ragnarok. Its time scale spans the eons from the world`s creation to its violent end.

Soderberg [gives us] a bird`s-eye view of such critical issues as intervention in the Balkans and Haiti and U.S. efforts to combat al Qaeda and hunt down Osama bin Laden.` -Charles A.

The Prosthetic Impulse: From a Posthuman Present to a Biocultural Future

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Prosthesis -- pointing to an addition, replacement, extension, enhancement -- has become something of an all-purpose metaphor for the interactions of body and technology. Concerned with cybernetics, transplant technology, artificial intelligence, and virtual reality, among other cultural and scientific developments, `the prosthetic` conjures up a posthuman condition. In response to this, the 13 original essays in The Prosthetic Impulse reassert the phenomenological, material, and embodied nature of prosthesis without dismissing its metaphorical potential. They examine the historical and conceptual edge between the human and the posthuman -- between flesh and its accompanying technologies. Rather than tracking the transformation of one into the other, these essays address this borderline and the delicate dialectical situation in which it places us. Concentrating on this edge, the collection demonstrates how the human has been technologized and technology humanized. … [detailed...]

The Protection and Conservation of Water Resources : A British Perspective

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is about water in Britain. It is about resources, their conservation, protection of water quality for human consumption and aquatic ecosystems. Presently there is a struggle to reverse long-term trends towards contaminated groundwater, pollutedrivers and dirty beaches. While farmers have to contend with fertiliser controls, and sewage undertakings improve treatment, industry is now under the most stringent pollution control measures in history. Amidst the dash for more dishwashers and washing machines, and in a country which prides itself on its gardening, we are told the climate is changing and this may put further pressure on resources. Meanwhile, recent dry winters have compounded long-term over-abstraction problems, reducing river flows and resulting in drought orders. Since 1989 there has been privatisation of water and sewage undertakings, and the loss of what was once a public service to commercial providers. This has proved controversial, and anything from low… [detailed...]

Hunter S. Thompson, Douglas Brinkley
The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

1998 y.
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Description: This first volume of the correspondence of Hunter S. Thompson begins with a high school essay and runs up through the publication of Thompson`s breakout book, Hell`s Angels. Thompson apparently never threw a letter away, so the reader has the treat of experiencing the full evolution of his pyrotechnic writing style, rant by rant. The letters--to girlfriends, to bill collectors, to placers of `Help Wanted` ads, to editors and publishers--are usually spiced with political commentary. The style and the political animus always seem to drive each other. For instance, an 11/22/63 letter to novelist and friend William J. Kennedy about the day`s cataclysm is apparently the birthplace of the signal phrase `fear and loathing.` (Thompson summed up the Kennedy assassination thus: `The savage nuts have shattered the great myth of American decency.`) And the willingness to write strangers is stunning: this collection includes Thompson`s letter to LBJ seeking appointment to the governorship of… [detailed...]

The Proud Tower: A Portrait of the World Before the War, 1890-1914

1996 y.
Publisher: Ballantine Books
Description: The fateful quarter-century leading up to the World War I was a time when the world of Privilege still existed in Olympian luxury and the world of Protest was heaving in its pain, its power, and its hate. The age was the climax of a century of the most accelerated rate of change in history, a cataclysmic shaping of destiny. In The Proud Tower, Barbara Tuchman concentrates on society rather than the state. With an artist`s selectivity, Tuchman bings to vivid life the people, places, and events that shaped the years leading up to the Great War: the Edwardian aristocracy and the end of their reign, the Anarchists of Europe and America, who voiced the protest of the oppressed, Germany, as portrayed through the figure of the self-depicted Hero, Richard Strauss, the sudden gorgeous blaze of Diaghilev`s Russian Ballet and Stravinsky`s music, the Dreyfus Affair, the two Peace Conferences at the Hague, and, finally, the youth, ideals, enthusiasm, and tragedy of Socialism, epitomized in… [detailed...]

Description: Book DescriptionThe feminist writer and editor Edna Kenton (1876?1954) was elected to the Executive Committee of the Provincetown Players by 1916. This theatrical company, first to present the plays of Eugene O?Neill, rebelled against the commercialism of Broadway and gave unrecognized dramatists the opportunity to experiment. Kenton was a great admirer of company leader George Cram Cook, and when Cook died in Greece in the early 1920s, Kenton dedicated herself to upholding his vision of a Dionysian ideal in American theater. This is Kenton?s original history of the influential theatre, from the first seasons at Provincetown in 1915 and 1916, to the final New York season in 1922. This invaluable eyewitness account has been edited from the most complete and latest version of Kenton?s text, with consultation of earlier incomplete versions. Kenton transcribed many playbills into the text, and included others whole between the pages, the latter are included as… [detailed...]

The Provocative Joan Robinson: The Making of a Cambridge Economist (Science and Cultural Theory)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: One of the most original and prolific economists of the twentieth century, Joan Robinson (1903-83) is widely regarded as the most important woman in the history of economic thought. Robinson studied economics at Cambridge University, where she made a career that lasted some fifty years. She was an unlikely candidate for success at Cambridge. A young woman in 1930 in a university dominated by men, she succeeded despite not having a remarkable academic record, a college fellowship, significant publications, or a powerful patron. In The Provocative Joan Robinson, Nahid Aslanbeigui and Guy Oakes trace the strategies and tactics Robinson used to create her professional identity as a Cambridge economist in the 1930s, examining how she recruited mentors and advocates, carefully defined her objectives, and deftly pursued and exploited opportunities. Aslanbeigui and Oakes demonstrate that Robinson`s professional identity was thoroughly embedded in a local scientific culture in which the… [detailed...]
