Bound for Glory: America in Color 1939-43

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The photographs of the Farm Security Administration (FSA), which recorded American life in the late 1930s and early 1940s, remain among the most moving and famous documentary images from the first half of the 20th century. Yet few people know that, along with thousands and thousands of black-and-white photographs, the FSA photographers also took color pictures. Here, for the first time, is a selection of the best of the FSA color photographs-introduced by National Book Award finalist Paul Hendrickson and assembled to create a vivid portrait of America as it emerged from the Great Depression to fight World War II. Covering countryside and city, farm and factory, work and play, the images in this book open a window onto our national experience from 1939 to 1943, revealing a world that we have always seen in our mind`s eye exclusively in black and white. Never before has there been a book that paints this picture in full color. Published in association with the Library of… [detailed...]

Bound to Lead: The Changing Nature of American Power

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Is America still Number 1? A leading scholar of international politics and former State Department official takes issue with Paul Kennedy and others and clearly demonstrates that the United States is still the dominant world power, with no challenger in sight. But analogies about decline only divert policy makers from creating effective strategies for the future, says Nye. The nature of power has changed. The real-and unprecedented-challenge is managing the transition to growing global interdependence. [detailed...]

Leigh Summers
Bound to Please

1905 y.
Publisher: Berg Publishers
Description: How odd that a single article of clothing could be experienced as a sign of middle-class superiority, an emblem of eroticism, a medically necessary support garment and a device for stemming childhood masturbation. In this engaging latest book in the Dress, Body, Culture series, Summers carefully exposes the corset`s dual role in Victorian culture: it kept women physically subdued, while at the same time presenting them as sexually alluring, exaggeratedly feminine objects of display. Summers, senior education officer at Australia`s New England Regional Art Museum, argues that corsetry was undeniably sexy, since its physical effects mimicked the signs of sexual arousal (shortness of breath, blushing, overheating), at the same time, it was a leading cause of fainting fits, uterine failure and severe abdominal damage. By far the most original aspects of this study appear in the early chapters on corsetry for children (some as young as two years old) and expectant mothers, who were told by… [detailed...]

Maya Lin
Boundaries

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Walking through this parklike area, the memorial appears as a rift in the earth -- a long, polished black stone wall, emerging from and receding into the earth. Approaching the memorial, the ground slopes gently downward, and the low walls emerging on either side, growing out of the earth, extend and converge at a point below and ahead. Walking into the grassy site contained by the walls of this memorial, we can barely make out the carved names upon the memorial`s walls. These names, seemingly infinite in number, convey the sense of overwhelming numbers, while unifying these individuals into a whole…. So begins the competition entry submitted in 1981 by a Yale undergraduate for the design of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. -- subsequently called `as moving and awesome and popular a piece of memorial architecture as exists anywhere in the world.` Its creator, Maya Lin, has been nothing less than world famous ever since. From the explicitly political to the… [detailed...]

Ian Stroud’s thorough coverage of these developments puts this technology in perspective. It includes: data structures algorithms and other related techniques including non-manifold modelling product modelling graphics disc files and data exchange some applications related topics. A basic knowledge of the technique will make it easier to use kernel modelling packages for application developments. Ian Stroud started working with boundary representation solid modelling in 1977. Since then he has researched and is researching a wide variety of topics in and around this field. The information in the book comes from the results of this research. [detailed...]

Thomas J. Sargent
Bounded Rationality in Macroeconomics: The Arne Ryde Memorial Lectures (Arne Ryde Memorial Lectures)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: How do people behave in new situations in which previous experience is not useful? The recent changes in Eastern Europe, for example, are unprecedented and there is not an available model on which to base the mechanisms that will govern the economics in this region. The concept of `bounded (or limited) rationality` is being developed to analyze behavior in such situations. In this book Thomas Sargent describes and interprets the recent work in the area, especially in statistics, econometrics, networks and artificial intelligence. He focuses on examples designed to illustrate the issues involved and the kinds of questions that are being asked and answered in this research. He points to further potential positive developments of the theory as well as some of its limitations. [detailed...]

Gerd Gigerenzer, R. Selten
Bounded Rationality: The Adaptive Toolbox

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In a complex and uncertain world, humans and animals make decisions under the constraints of limited knowledge, resources, and time. Yet models of rational decision making in economics, cognitive science, biology, and other fields largely ignore these real constraints and instead assume agents with perfect information and unlimited time. About forty years ago, Herbert Simon challenged this view with his notion of `bounded rationality.` Today, bounded rationality has become a fashionable term used for disparate views of reasoning. This book promotes bounded rationality as the key to understanding how real people make decisions. Using the concept of an `adaptive toolbox,` a repertoire of fast and frugal rules for decision making under uncertainty, it attempts to impose more order and coherence on the idea of bounded rationality. The contributors view bounded rationality neither as optimization under constraints nor as the study of people?s reasoning fallacies. The… [detailed...]

Bourgeoisie Daydreams

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description In Bourgeoisie Daydreams, Chase Baker puts together a collection of his original poems, a collection that addresses the heart of American middle class. Racism, low wages, love, and religion are just a few of the topics he covers. Life ina small town isn?t always easy, as Chase shows through his work. To introduce this life to us, he uses a mixture of classic poetic rhyming schemes and a matter-of-fact way of uncovering his inner thoughts. Tales of women and travel flow across the pages and turn this anthology of poetry into a must-read. Resting in the heart of Louisiana, Chase attempts to bring the love of poetry back to the rest of the world. Inspired by poets such as Henry Longfellow and Walt Whitman, it is apparent that he is serious about his aspirations. In this refreshing narrative of his deepest thoughts, you will find yourself lost in your very own world of dreams. [detailed...]

Bournemouth in Old Photographs (Britain in Old Photographs)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: From its earliest fishing villages to the growth of seaside resorts and coastal spas, attracting visitors from the surrounding counties, this history offers a wonderful insight into the development of the town. Bournemouth has always been blessed with sandy beaches and a warm climate, but it was slow to develop as a populated area. In 1851 the census recorded 695 people in the Bournemouth district and within 10 years this leaped to 6,000 and a further 10 years later to 17,000. Bournemouth now has a population of 163,444. This rise in the number of people living in the town brought with it many changes and new amenities. Alison Crawford explores these changes through her detailed captions and fascinating photographs. This book will charm anyone who knows the area well and those who are visiting for the first time. [detailed...]

Bouvard et Pecuchet

Publisher: Le Livre de Poche
Description: En 1872, dans une lettre a son amie Mme Roger des Genettes, Flaubert ne cachait pas ses intentions de nuire: `Je medite une chose ou j`exhalerai ma colere. Oui, je me debarrasserai enfin de ce qui m`etouffe. Je vomirai sur mes contemporains le degout qu`ils m`inspirent, dusseje m`en casser la poitrine, ce sera large et violent.` Ce fut le roman des deux bonshommes: deux greffiers s`installent a la campagne pour se consa-crer au savoir dont ils explorent tous les domaines. Puis le degout les saisit et ils reviennent a leur occupation premiere: copier. Interrompu par la mort de Flaubert en 1880, `Bouvard et Pecuchet` est le livre de toutes les vengeances, croisade encyclopedique contre la betise universelle, fable philosophique a la fois comique et `d`un serieux effrayant`, la plus radicale peut-etre et la plus impitoyable de toutes ses ceuvres. Mais le roman contient un secret: la formule d`une metamorphose qui convertit la betise en lucidite et l`assujettissement en liberation. … [detailed...]
