The Two Faces Of Tomorrow

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Midway through the 21st century, an integrated global computer network manages much of the world`s affairs. A proposed major software upgrade - an artificial intelligence - will give the system an unprecedented degree of independent decision-making, but serious questions are raised in regard to how much control can safely be given to a non-human intelligence. In order to more fully assess the system, a new space-station habitat - a world in miniature - is developed for deployment of the fully operational system, named Spartacus. This mini-world can then be `attacked` in a series of escalating tests to assess the system`s responses and capabilities. If Spartacus gets out of hand, the system can be shut down and the station destroyed… unless Spartacus decides to take matters into its own hands and take the fight to Earth. [detailed...]

A comedy built around the confusions of doubling, cross - dressing and identity, it is also a play about the ideal of male friendship an what happens to those friendships when men fall in love. William Carroll`s engaging Introduction focuses on the traditions and sources that stand behind the play and explores Shakespeare`s unique and bold treatment of them. Special attention is given to the strong female figure of Julia - a prototype for some of Shakespeare`s later and most loved heroines, Viola (Twelth Night) and Rosalind (As you Like It).

The Two Madonnas: The Politics of Festival in a Sardinian Community

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Now updated, this former Chicago Folklore Prize winner is a major contribution to our understanding of the roles that festivals play in European village life. Portrayed by early travel writers as ancient pagan survivals, festivals in Sardinia have long fascinated both native islanders and outsiders. But at the dawn of the twenty-first century, this Mediterranean island has become part of a global economy, and its festivals attract tourists from around the world. This detailed ethnography explores the effects of globalization on two Sardinian festivals over the course of the twentieth century, reflecting the double pull of tradition and modernity on the popular imagination and their sometimes devastating effects on local cultures. It vividly and insightfully describes the continuing struggles of community members to shape and control these important expressions of local identity, as they strive to create a space for themselves in the margins of Europe.

William Shakespeare
The Two Noble Kinsmen

1998 y.
Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: Based on Chaucer`s Knight`s Tale, The Two Noble Kinsmen was written at the end of Shakespeare`s career, as a collaboration with the rising young dramatist John Fletcher. Neglected until recently by directors and teachers, the play deserves to be better known for its moving dramatization of the conflict of love and friendship. This new edition, compiled by distinguished scholar Eugene M.Waith, offers helpful new material on the play`s authenticity as a work of Shakespeare, his collaboration with Fletcher, the relevance to the play of the contemporary ideals of chivalry and friendship, and its limited but increasing stage history. Based on the Quarto of 1634, Waith`s edition also sets out to clarify the stage directions, address problems of mislineation, and provide useful guides to unfamiliar words, stage business, allusions, and textual problems.

In ancient times the Rings of Power were crafted by the Elvensmiths, and Sauron, the Dark Lord, forged the One Ring, filling it with his own power so that he could rule all others.

The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Mothers and Fathers Are Going Broke

2003 y.
Publisher: Basic Books
Description: This groundbreaking expose brings to light the surprising financial consequences of mothers going to work, and the precarious position of today`s middle class. More than two decades ago, the women`s movement flung open the doors of the workplace. Although this social revolution created a firestorm of controversy, no one questioned the idea that women`s involvement in the workforce was certain to improve families` financial lot. Until now. In this brilliantly argued book, Harvard Law School bankruptcy expert Elizabeth Warren and business consultant Amelia Tyagi show that today`s middle-class parents are suffering from an unprecedented and totally unexpected economic meltdown. Astonishingly, sending mothers to work has made families more vulnerable than ever before. Today`s two-income family earns 75% more money than its single-income counterpart of a generation ago, but actually has less discretionary income once their fixed monthly bills are paid. How did this… [detailed...]

The Two-Income Trap: Why Middle-Class Parents are Going Broke

2004 y.

Description: In this revolutionary expos?, Harvard Law School bankruptcy expert Elizabeth Warren and financial consultant Amelia Tyagi show that today`s middle-class parents are increasingly trapped by financial meltdowns. Astonishingly, sending mothers to work has made families more vulnerable to financial disaster than ever before. Today`s two-income family earns 75% more money than its single-income counterpart of a generation ago, but has 25% less discretionary income to cover living costs. This is `the rare financial book that sidesteps accusations of individual wastefulness to focus on institutional changes,` raved the Boston Globe. Warren and Tyagi reveal how the ferocious bidding war for housing and education has silently engulfed America`s suburbs, driving up the cost of keeping families in the middle class. The authors show why the usual remedies-child-support enforcement, subsidized daycare, and higher salaries for women-won`t solve the problem. But as the Wall Street Journal … [detailed...]

It was also a marvelous year for clouded yellow butterflies. Wilfred and Duncan live in a big old house in Sussex, England. They spend their days catching butterflies and dreaming of escape, and only ever see their parents on Wednesdays for lunch. When their mother elopes and their already distant father takes up with other ladies, they decide that enough is enough. And they have a plan: they will leave home, go to London, and buy a tram, decommissioned by the bus and tram company, that they have seen advertised in the paper for… [detailed...]

Here, he shows how anyone who is disorganized, inexperienced, overwhelmed, financially challenged, or just flat-out lazy can still create the life of their dreams.

In the following chapters, he details the importance of each of the four steps — dream, imagine, believe, create — and shows how to forge them into a blueprint for success. A final section includes tips for staying on — or getting back on — course. A quick, breezy read, the book uses centered bold type scattered throughout to ensure that even the laziest readers can grasp its essence in just a few minutes. [detailed...]

Michael Bryson
The Tyranny of Heaven: Milton`s Rejection of God As King

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe God portrayed in Paradise Lost is neither `good` nor `God.` Milton uses this portrayal, not to suggest that his character represents God, but to argue strongly that it does not. Milton?s project in Paradise Lost and Paradise Regained is to defend God by taking him down from a kingly throne. In pursuit of this argument, Michael Bryson charts a new path in the study of Milton?s prose and poetry, bridging the gap between the so-called `Neo-Christian` critics (C.S. Lewis, Stanley Fish, and others) and the `Romantic` or `Satanist` critics (Blake, Shelley, Empson, etc.), by reading Milton as engaged in a complex theodicy that rejects kingship as a proper way of imagining the divine. This interdisciplinary work argues for continuity of purpose and outlook in Milton?s antimonarchical prose and his epic poetry, working with the intersections between his theology, politics, and poetics. The Father of Paradise Lost, imagined as a king, is not the model of… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description Published on the celebration of the United Nations` sixtieth anniversary.

One of the most historic commissions of the twentieth century was seen through by architect Wallace Harrison, whose triumph put him on the cover of Time magazine.

The U.S. Army and the Texas Frontier Economy, 1845-1900 (Texas A&,m University Military History Series, 65)

Publisher: —
Description: The soldier as scout and skirmisher has long captured the public interest but in this first detailed historical examination of the army and the Texas economy historian Thomas T. Smith finds that the more significant role of the soldier on the frontier was as nation-builder and colonizer. Mid-nineteenth century America`s largest corporate body, the U.S. Army, and the nation`s largest geo-political organization, the State of Texas, shared a symbiotic relationship and a strong military-commercial alliance. In the frontier conflict during the last half of the nineteenth century the Department of Texas was the army`s most extensive and most expensive theater of war. The army brought seventy million dollars into Texas and military logistics was a critical factor in the growth of the immature cash-poor economy of early statehood as well as the recovery from the devastation of Civil War inflation. The army was key to the development of steam navigation on the Rio Grande and to the growth… [detailed...]
