The World Trading System - 2nd Edition: Law and Policy of International Economic Relations

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since the first edition of The World Trading System was published in 1989, the Uruguay Round of trade negotiations has been completed, and most governments have ratified and are in the process of implementing the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). In the Uruguay Round, more than 120 nations negotiated for over eight years, to produce a document of some 26,000 pages. This new edition of The World Trading System takes account of these and other developments. Like the first edition, however, its treatment of topical issues is grounded in the fundamental legal, constitutional, institutional, and political realities that mold trade policy. Thus the book continues to serve as an introduction to the study of trade law and policy. Two basic premises of The World Trading System are that economic concerns are central to foreign affairs, and that national economies are growing more interdependent. The author presents the economic principles of… [detailed...]

The World Water Crisis: The Failures of Resource Management (International Library of Human Geography)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the last decade, water resources planners have frequently signalled an impending water crisis. The message is that the world is running out of water and that only by careful planning and the adoption of integrated water resources management can catastrophe be avoided. Stephen Brichieri-Colombi challenges these perceptions. He maintains that the crisis is one of resource management rather than availability: it arises because water resource planners advocate exploitation of rivers without due regard to social, environmental and geopolitical consequences. The author advances a new paradigm--water in the national economy--which will enable developing countries to meet future food and water demands without increasing abstraction from rivers and consequential riparian conflict. A powerful re-appraisal of the development of global water resources. [detailed...]

The World Wide Web and Contemporary Cultural Theory : Magic, Metaphor, Power

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The World Wide Web is the most well-known, celebrated, and promoted contemporary manifestation of `cyberspace.` To date, however, most of the public discourse on the Web falls into the category of explanatory journalism -- the Web has remained largely unmapped in terms of contemporary cultural research. This book, however, begins that mapping by bringing together more than a dozen well-known scholars across the humanities and social sciences to explore the Web as a cultural technology characterized by anexus of economic, political, social, and aesthetic forces. Engaging the thematic issues of the Web as a space where magic, metaphor, and power converge, the chapters cover such subjects as The Web and Corporate Media Systems, Conspiracy Theories and theWeb, The Economy of Cyberpromotion, The Bias of the Web, The Web and Issues of Gender,and so on. Contributors: Jody Berland, Jodi Dean, Sean Cubitt, Greg Elmer, Andrew Herman, Steven Jones, Nancy Kaplan, Robert McChesney, Vincent… [detailed...]

The World and Its Double: The Life and Work of Otto Preminger

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Otto Preminger was one of Hollywood’s first truly independent producer-directors. He sought to address the major social, political, and historical questions of his time in films designed to appeal to a wide public. Blazing a trail in the examination of controversial issues such as drug addiction (The Man with the Golden Arm) and homosexuality (Advise &, Consent) and in the frank, sophisticated treatment of adult material (Anatomy of a Murder), Preminger broke the censorship of the Hollywood Production Code and the blacklist. He also made some of Hollywood’s most enduring film noir classics, including Laura and Fallen Angel. More than anyone else, Preminger represented the transition from the Hollywood of the studios to the decentralized, wheeling-and-dealing New Hollywood of today. Chris Fujiwara’s “studious, informative, often astutely argued” (Gerald Peary, The Phoenix) biography follows Preminger throughout his varied career, penetrating his carefully constructed public persona and… [detailed...]

Description: Can nature be restored to a pristine state through deliberate action? Must the preservation of wilderness always subordinate the interests of humans to those of other species? Can indigenous peoples be entrusted with the guardianship of their own wild resources? This collection of international writings tackles tough questions like these as it expands wilderness conservation beyond its American roots. One of the first anthologies to consider wilderness as a global issue, it takes a stand against the notion that wilderness is a northern colonialist conceit and is irrelevant to the plans of third world countries. Contributions from all over the planet--Nepal, Borneo, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Papua New Guinea, Kenya, South Africa, India, and the United States--show instead that wilderness has an important place in the environmental thought and policy of any nation, industrial or developing.

2008 y.

Description: The World as a Stage presents a key group of international contemporary artists Pavel Althamer, Catherine Sullivan, Tino Sehgal, and others who reinvigorate the rich historical relationship between visual art and theater. Challenging negative associations made between the notion of `theatricality` and the realm of visual art in recent decades, the artists in this book make visible the extent to which a sense of theater, or spectacle, now permeates the spectator`s role in the museum or gallery and how this carries through to their experience of the contemporary urban environment. Considering a variety of media including installation, sculpture, performance, participatory works, and events, this book deals with issues such as the framing of human presence in the experience of art.

The World beyond the Windshield: Roads and Landscapes in the United States and Europe

2008 y.
Publisher: Ohio University Press
Description: For better or worse, the view through a car`s windshield has redefined how we see the world around us. In some cases, such as the American parkway, the view from the road was the be-all and end-all of the highway, in others, such as the Italian autostrada, the view of a fast, efficient transportation machine celebrating either Fascism or its absence was the goal. These varied environments are neither necessary nor accidental but the outcomes of historical negotiations, and whether we abhor them or take delight in them, they have become part of the fabric of human existence. The World beyond the Windshield: Roads and Landscapes in the United States and Europe is the first systematic, comparative look at these landscapes. By looking at examples from the United States and Europe, the chapters in this volume explore the relationship between the road and the landscape that it traverses, cuts through, defines, despoils, and enhances.

The World in Venice: Print, the City, and Early Modern Identity (Studies in Book and Print Culture)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Positing a dynamic relationship between print culture and social experience, Bronwen Wilson`s The World in Venice focuses on the printed image during a century of profound transformation. City views, costume illustrations, events, and portraits of locals and foreigners are brought together to show how printmakers responded to an expanding image of the world in Renaissance Venice, and how, in turn, prints influenced the ways in which individuals thought about themselves. Woodcuts and engravings of cities and inhabitants of Europe, and those of distant lands, initiated a sudden and pervasive experience with alterity that redefined the relations of Europeans to the world. By condensing the world into pictures, print enabled a radically novel and vicarious experience of others. Wilson explores the overlapping and evolving relations between space, vision, print, and identity, and engages with current scholarly debates concerning ethnicities, gender and geography, copies and… [detailed...]

The World of Andrei Sakharov: A Russian Physicist`s Path to Freedom

Description: Book DescriptionHow did Andrei Sakharov, a theoretical physicist and the acknowledged father of the Soviet hydrogen bomb, become a human rights activist and the first Russian to win the Nobel Peace Prize? In his later years, Sakharov noted in his diary that he was `simply a man with an unusual fate.` To understand this deceptively straightforward statement by an extraordinary man, The World of Andrei Sakharov, the first authoritative study of Andrei Sakharov as a scientist as well as a public figure, relies on previously inaccessible documents, recently declassified archives, and personal accounts by Sakharov`s friends and colleagues to examine the real context of Sakharov`s life. In the course of doing so, Gennady Gorelik answers a fascinating question, whether the Soviet hydrogen bomb was really fathered by Sakharov, or whether it was based on stolen American secrets. Gorelik concludes that while espionage did initiate the Soviet effort, the Russian hydrogen bomb was invented… [detailed...]

Description: Beryl Cook has changed the way we look at the world. It is a tribute to her fame that when we see curvaceous girls all dolled up to go out on a hen night, or a pair of plump ladies gossiping over cups of tea and enormous cream cakes. Beryl Cook is the artist who immediately comes into our minds. Life is full of such `Beryl Cook Moments`. Beryl Cook paints girls in the disco, in their underwear or shopping at the mall, sailors on shore leave, men at the pub, watching strippers, and everybody having a good time. More recently her work has taken in foreign locations such as Paris, Barcelona, New York, Buenos Aires and Las Vegas, where Cook`s eye for the simple pleasures in life finds charming and revealing vignettes in the most unlikely places. The World of Beryl Cook presents a unique survey of Beryl Cook`s forty-year career, beginning with her first painting from 1962 and ending with her most recent ones - with all her most famous works in between.
