Vintage Rock T-Shirts

2007 y.
Publisher: Universe
Description: These artifacts of the original rock and roll era recall a time that seems simpler, less commercial, and more meaningful. The tee shirts shown here weren`t produced for commercial use but as promotional giveaways by record companies, fans, and festivals such as Woodstock, and the designs from the early days look homemade and amateurish. As band shirts became available, record companies discovered the promotional power of the tee shirt as human billboard, and their lucrative potential was realized, with shirts bearing logos, band names, show venues, and other marketable details. Ultimately rock tee shirts worn with jeans and sneakers became a uniform of conformist non-conformism. Now the tee shirts from these early days have become one of today`s hottest—and most costly—fashion trends. For many people, rock and roll has become a lifestyle. Vintage Rock Tee-Shirts is a snapshot of this earlier era, with hundreds of T-shirts, advertisements, logos, and archival photos. [detailed...]

Vintage Vavoom: Romantic Decorating with One-of-a-Kind Finds

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: What is `Vintage Vavoom,` exactly? It`s a sleek glass table decorated with mismatched china, tarnished silver teapots filled with calla lilies, an antique chandelier hung unpredictably in a bright apple-green powder room. It is the items you love-many steeped in nostalgia - effortlessly combined with a fresh, modern sensibility. Think textured fabrics, family heirlooms, clever little accents, and well-crafted furniture, linked together with a sense of playfulness. Yet while the rules are loose, `Vintage Vavoom` is not about clutter or haphazard mismatching. Instead, seemingly disparate items are pulled together by an underlying motif - a punctuating color, a themed collection, or an era - that will subtly keep a room in check, even as you add personal flourishes throughout.

With brilliant technological legerdemain, Disney puts visitors into cinematically structured stories in which pieces of American and world culture become ideological tokens in arguments in favor of commodification and techno-corporatecontrol. Culture is construed as spirit, colonialism and entrepreneurial violence as exotic zaniness, and the Other as child. [detailed...]

Vinzenz Bronzin`s Option Pricing Models: Exposition and Appraisal

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 1908, Vinzenz Bronzin, a professor of mathematics at the Accademia di Commercio e Nautica in Trieste, published a booklet in German entitled Theorie der Pramiengeschafte (Theory of Premium Contracts) which is an old type of option contract. Almost like Bachelier’s now famous dissertation (1900), the work seems to have been forgotten shortly after it was published. However, almost every element of modern option pricing can be found in Bronzin’s book. He derives option prices for an illustrative set of distributions, including the Normal. - This volume includes a reprint of the original German text, a translation, as well as an appreciation of Bronzin`s work from various perspectives (economics, history of finance, sociology, economic history) including some details about the professional life and circumstances of the author. The book brings Bronzin`s early work to light again and adds an almost forgotten piece of research to the theory of option pricing. [detailed...]

Violence Against Women: Vulnerable Populations (Contemporary Sociological Perspectives)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Violence Against Women: Vulnerable Populations` investigates under-researched and underserved groups of women who are particularly vulnerable to violent victimization from an intimate male partner. In the past, there has been an understandable reluctance to address this issue to avoid stereotyping vulnerable groups of women. However, developments in the field, particularly intersectionality theory, which recognizes women`s diversity in experiences of violence, suggest that the time has come to make the study of violence in vulnerable populations a new sub-field in the area. As the first book of its kind, `Violence Against Women: Vulnerable Populations` identifies where violence on vulnerable populations fits within the field, develops a method for studying vulnerable populations, and brings vital new knowledge to the field through the analysis original data (from three large-scale representative surveys) on eight populations of women who are particularly vulnerable to violence.

Violence And the Female Imagination: Quebec`s Women Writers Re-Frame Gender in North American Cultures

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the past twenty years Quebec women writers, including Aline Chamberland, Claire DA©, Suzanne Jacob, and HA©lA?ne Rioux, have created female characters who are fascinated with bold sexual actions and language, cruelty, and violence, at times culminating in infanticide and serial killing. Paula Ruth Gilbert argues that these Quebec feminist writers are `re-framing` gender. Violence and the Female Imagination explores whether these imagined women are striking out at an external other or harming themselves through acts of self-destruction and depression. Gilbert examines the degree to which women are imitating men in the outward direction of their anger and hostility and suggests that such `tough` women may be mocking men in their `macho` exploits of sexuality and violence. She illustrates the ways in which Quebec female authors are `feminizing` violence or re-envisioning gender in North American culture. Gilbert bridges methodological gaps and integrates history, sociology,… [detailed...]

Violence and Belonging: Land, Love, and Lethal Conflict in the North-west Frontier Province in Pakistan (Nias Monographs)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Most studies of violence in the Middle East and South Asia come from the perspective of honour or political violence. By contrast, this important study offers a new perspective on its causes in Pakistan`s unruly North-West Frontier Province, challenging stereotyped images of a region and people miscast as extremist and militant. Based on an in-depth study of local conflicts, the book sheds light on the complexities of violence, not only at the structural or systemic level, but also as experienced by the men involved in lethal conflict.In this way, the book provides a subjective and experiential approach to violence that is applicable beyond the field locality and relevant for advancing the study of violence in the Middle East and South Asia. `We should make the best possible use of this analysis: for its daring perspectives, extreme empirical findings, and wide relevance. It deserves a very careful reading for its contributions to so many aspects of our understanding of honour,… [detailed...]

Violence in Developing Countries: War, Memory, Progress

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Why is there so much violence in the developing countries? What does it have to do with economic development? What does it have to do with globalization? Christopher Cramer takes a hard look at war, recent uprisings, insurgencies, and violence in Angola, Brazil, and Iraq. Cramer explains the financing of wars and compares post-conflict reconstruction efforts. He takes special issue with common perspectives on violence, which deny that war has any positive effects and believe that peace can be easily achieved through democratization and free trade. Cramer identifies common fallacies and shows that modern (Western) liberal democracies haven`t outgrown violence, and don`t only resort to it in self-defense. Providing a far more practical assessment, Cramer boldly argues that violent conflict has led to radical and positive reshaping of social relationships and provoked favorable social change. Violence in Developing Countries forges an alternative understanding of how… [detailed...]
