A Distinctive Industrialization: Cotton in Barcelona 1728-1832

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: This is a study of the development of the early history of Barcelona`s cotton industry. It offers both a specialized industrial history and an interpretation of major issues relating to the industrialization of Catalonia and of Europe as a whole. The major issues discussed--the causes of the increase during these years in industrial investment and the links between `proto-industrialization` and industrialization proper--have been discussed theoretically but rarely tested against historical experience.The book thus represents an important contribution to the interpretation of early industrialization and offers a new insight into Spanish and Catalonian history.

A Distributed Pi-Calculus

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Distributed systems are fast becoming the norm in computer science. Formal mathematical models and theories of distributed behaviour are needed in order to understand them. This book proposes a distributed pi-calculus called Dpi, for describing the behaviour of mobile agents in a distributed world. It is based on an existing formal language, the pi-calculus, to which it adds a network layer and a primitive migration construct. A mathematical theory of the behavior of these distributed systems is developed, in which the presence of types plays a major role. It is also shown how in principle this theory can be used to develop verification techniques for guaranteeing the behavior of distributed agents. The text is accessible to computer scientists with a minimal background in discrete mathematics. It contains an elementary account of the pi-calculus, and the associated theory of bisimulations. It also develops the type theory required by Dpi from first principles. [detailed...]

A Doctor?s Legacy: A Memoir of Merlin K. DuVal Founding Dean of Arizona?s First Medical School

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: It was 1964. The job was to turn a dusty field into a top-ranking medical school. There were no buildings, no faculty, and no funds. Merlin K. DuVal accepted the challenge and won strong support as he began building the University of Arizona?s first College of Medicine. Starting his adult life as a model in New York in the 1940s DuVal climbed his way up to being appointed Assistant Secretary of Health during Nixon?s administration and finally being instrumental in the founding of the University of Arizona?s medical school. While DuVal was a public man with a long list of accomplishments, this is also a deeply personal account in which a high-powered doctor discovers that his children grew up without really knowing him. A year before his death, Dr. DuVal worked with journalist Linda Valdez to tell his story, and the real delight of this book is reading along as this man of remarkable intellectual curiosity examines his own life, his profession, and our society.

Михаил Булгаков
A Dog`s Heart

2007 y.
Publisher: Penguin Books Ltd.
Description: Sharik is a hapless stray dog, baffled observer of human kind and vitriolic haterofcats. He is plucked from the streets of communistMoscow by Preobrazhensky, a medical professor, and subjected to a bizarre, human-gland-transplanting experiment. When Sharik begins to transform in weird and unexpected ways, his creator`s virtuoso scientific confidence turns rapidly to wonderment, and then to horrified soul-searching. Bulgakov`s hilarious science fiction is an angry satire of the , Utopian communist dream gone spectacularly awry, in which sinister forces lurk everywhere. Written in 1925 but immediately banned by the early Soviet government, the novella captures, in a unique style that alternates lucid realism with pulse-raising drama, the atmosphere of its rapidly changing times. Andrew Bromfield`s vibrant new translation is accompanied by an introduction by James Meek, which places the work in the context of the Russian class struggles of the era and considers the vision,… [detailed...]

Henrik Ibsen
A Doll’s House

1992 y.
Publisher: Dover Publications
Description: One of the best-known, most frequently performed of modern plays, `A Doll`s House` richly displays the genius with which Henrik Ibsen pioneered modern, realistic prose drama. In the central character of Nora, Ibsen epitomized the human struggle against the humiliating constraints of social conformity. Nora`s ultimate rejection of a smothering marriage and life in `a doll`s house` shocked theatergoers of the late 1800s and opened new horizons for playwrights and their audiences. But daring social themes are only one aspect of Ibsen`s power as a dramatist. `A Doll`s House` shows as well his gifts for creating realistic dialogue, a suspenseful flow of events, and, above all, psychologically penetrating characterizations that make the struggles of his dramatic personages utterly convincing. Here is a deeply absorbing play as readable as it is eminently playable, reprinted from an authoritative English translation. Формат: 13 см х 21 см. [detailed...]

A Doubtful River (Environmental Arts and Humanities Series)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn A Doubtful River, photographers Robert Dawson and Peter Goin and essayist Mary Webb explore the ways the river`s multifarious users relate to the region`s aridity and the precious waters of the Truckee. Dawson`s and Goin`s eloquent photographs record unforgettable images of the Truckee River`s course from the eastern slope of the Sierra Nevada to desert-bound Pyramid Lake and the ways the river and the land beside it have been used and reshaped by human needs, greed, and carelessness. Webb`s essays offer a moving verbal counterpoint, focusing on the people who depend on and adjudicate the river`s water. The sum of the elements of this book is a memorable picture of the complexity of water allocation in a region where conflicting traditions about the uses of the land and its resources, a rapidly growing population, and limited supply make water the most precious commodity of all.

A Dream of Undying Fame: How Freud Betrayed His Mentor and Invented Psychoanalysis

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In 1877, a young Freud met an established physician named Josef Breuer and they began a collaboration that would lead to the publication of the classic work, Studies on Hysteria. But by the time it released, Freud was moving to establish himself as a major figure in the treatment of mentally ill patients, and would let no one stand in his way. He consequently minimized Breuer’s contributions, betraying his former mentor and benefactor.In A Dream of Undying Fame, renowned psychologist Louis Breger narrates the story behind the creation of Studies as well as the case of Anna O., which helped contribute to Freud’s definition of “neurosis.” Breger reveals that Freud’s own self-mythologizing and history not only affected everything he did in life, but also helped shape his emerging beliefs about psychoanalysis. Illustrating the importance of personality and social context behind an intellectual breakthrough, Breger provides an in-depth look at a field that reshaped our understanding of… [detailed...]
