The Vancouver Achievement: Urban Planning and Design

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book examines the development of Vancouver?s unique approach to zoning, planning, and urban design from the early 1970s to the beginning of the twenty-first century. Vancouver has established an excellent reputation in North America for its planning achievements, especially for its discretionary zoning system, cooperative planning model for megaprojects, discretionary control of major developments, development levies, management of neighborhood change, and strategic citywide approach to building intensification. These systems place Vancouver at the forefront of international planning practice. This book builds upon an exhaustive analysis of city planning documents, supplemented by in-depth interviews with leading local planners, politicians, architects, and developers. Generously illustrated, it will appeal to academic and professional audiences, as well as the general public. [detailed...]

Philip Meyer
The Vanishing Newspaper: Saving Journalism In The Information Age

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: For more than thirty years the newspaper industry has been losing readers at a slow but steady rate. News professionals are inclined to blame themselves, but the real culprit is technology and its competing demands on the public`s time. The Internet is just the latest in a long series of new information technologies that have scattered the mass audience that newspapers once held. By isolating and describing the factors that made journalism work as a business in the past, Meyer provides a model that will make it work with the changing technologies of the present and future. He backs his argument with empirical evidence, supporting key points with statistical assessments of the quality and influence of the journalist`s product, as well as its effects on business success.

Publisher: —
Description: This book is an accessible and authoritative analysis of the widespread use of barter in the countries of the former Soviet Union--one of the most dramatic, but least understood, aspects of the region`s tortuous transition from planned to market economy.Written by a distinguished team of economists and other social scientists with minimal use of mathematics, the book is designed to appeal not just to area studies scholars with an interest in the transition process but also to economists and anthropologists interested in the role of money and social networks in modern societies.

The Variational Bayes Method in Signal Processing (Signals and Communication Technology)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This is the first book-length treatment of the Variational Bayes (VB) approximation in signal processing. It has been written as a self-contained, self-learning guide for academic and industrial research groups in signal processing, data analysis, machineearning, identification and control. It reviews the VB distributional approximation, showing that tractable algorithms for parametric model identification can be generated in off-line and on-line contexts. Many of the principles are first illustrated via sy-to-follow scalar decomposition problems. In later chapters, successful applications are found in factor analysis for medical image sequences, mixture model identification and speech reconstruction. Results with simulated and real data are presented in tail. The unique development of an eight-step `VB method`, which can be followed in all cases, enables the reader to develop a VB inference algorithm from the ground up, for their own particular signal or image model.

The Varieties of Capitalism Paradigm: Explaining Germany`s Comparative Advantage? (New Perspectives in German Studies)

Publisher: —
Description: How do the environments in which businesses operate condition their success or failure? Such questions have long been of interest in the fields of business, economics and politics. They have gained in importance as a result of heightened competitive pressures associated with `globalization`. While some see certain institutions as burdens, others see them as a blessing. This book thoroughly examines the main claims of the most important contribution--the Varieties of Capitalism paradigm--to this debate in recent years. [detailed...]

The Various

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Amazon.comThe idea of a race of little people (fairies) living secretly among us has had a powerful hold on the imaginations of writers from Shakespeare to Terry Pratchett and Eoin Colfer. In The Various , Steve Augarde has used this fascination brilliantly to craft the first novel of a trilogy full of breathless action and wonder. When twelve-year-old Midge is sent by her concert-violinist mother to spend the summer at the farm of her sweet but bungling Uncle Brian, her initial resentment gives way to delight in the freedom of exploring the countryside. When she discovers a tiny winged horse lying wounded in an outbuilding, she is awestruck to find out that he comes from a civilization of five various tribes of little people living in a nearby wood?-something readers will have already learned from alternate chapters set in the fairy world. Disaster threatens when Uncle Brian plans to sell the wood to a developer, and Midge and her cousins find (to their own peril), that… [detailed...]

Paul L. Williams
The Vatican Exposed: Money, Murder, and the Mafia

2003 y.
Publisher: Prometheus Books
Description: Burdened by a lurid title, this is a short history of the politics and finances of the Vatican during the last hundred years. As in his Complete Idiot`s guides to the Crusades and to the lives of the saints, Williams displays an ability to compress a great deal of information in a short, highly readable way. His main argument is that the current financial strength of the Roman Catholic Church as well as many of its problems began in 1929 with the signing of the Lateran Treaty, in which a financially besieged Pope Pius XI exchanged recognition and support of Mussolini`s Fascist government for more than $90 million and the establishment of the Vatican as a sovereign state. Williams traces how the Vatican`s new emphasis on financial stability led it into other morally questionable financial arrangements with Adolf Hitler, the fascist state of Croatia and reputed Sicilian Mafia financier Michele Sindona. He examines carefully the establishment and workings of the Instituto per le Opere di… [detailed...]
