During this period, his characters had taken on lives of their own, and he realized that his writing of their adventures was more like dictation than creation.

Description: Billionaires and the prime minister of Japan have one thing in common: they cannot enter the world of Kyoto`s geiko without a specific invitation. It is a refined world and a closed one that few people are ever able to observe at close hand… This is the story of a contemporary Japanese teenager who, in a search for an identity, became fascinated with the world of geiko - as Kyoto`s geisha are known - and discovered in herself the will and the commitment to overcome the many years of apprenticeship necessary to become one. It is a story related by a young Japanese photographer who grew up overseas, and who also was captivated by the lives led by these women who choose to dedicate their lives to their art. He began following and documenting the life of the teenager, Komomo, as she studied and grew into her role.

Jaime De Melo, David Tarr
A General Equilibrium Analysis of U.S. Foreign Trade Policy

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Using applied general equilibrium methods to analyze recent debates about the conduct of U.S. foreign trade policy, de Melo and Tarr show that in terms of costs to the economy and to consumers, nontariff barriers in textiles, automobiles, and steel have more than reversed the benefits of cumulative tariff liberalization achieved in successive postwar GATT rounds. The authors` model is the first large-scale computer simulation of the effects of changes in U.S. import quotas. It begins with perfect competition, proceeds to imperfect factor markets, and then introduces increasing returns to scale and imperfect product markets. The basic model and its variants are carefully explained to show how valuable and sensible a tool the model is for analyzing trade policy and to facilitate understanding of the construction of a general equilibrium model. Tables and figures are used extensively to illustrate the principles involved. A detailed introduction takes up trade… [detailed...]

A General Theory of Acquisitivity: On Human Nature, Productivity and Survival

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Greed is Good.` Is this the best argument to be made on behalf of human aspirations and the free market? Acquisitivity uproots the `greed is good` philosophy, showing it to be both wrong and largely irrelevent in defining human nature and the dynamics of economic progress. The author looks behind Adam Smith`s The Wealth of Nations to examine the origin and purpose of human conduct in the free market. The result is a purely conceived natural mechanism centered in each individual for efficient allocation of resources to the most productive and innovative person. Society is the indirect beneficiary. Acquistivity brings Adam Smith and The Wealth of Nations to the Twenty-First Century where the acquisitive energy of every individual can ride the Internet. The stock markets, business, education and, hopefully, governments will never be the same again. [detailed...]

A General Theory of Entrepreneurship: The Individual-Opportunity Nexus (New Horizons in Entrepreneurship Series)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn the first exhaustive treatment of the field in 20 years, Scott Shane extends the analysis of entrepreneurship by offering an overarching conceptual framework that explains the different parts of the entrepreneurial process - the opportunities, the people who pursue them, the skills and strategies used to organize and exploit opportunities, and the environmental conditions favorable to them - in a coherent way. Given the level of interest devoted to entrepreneurship in the economy and among academics at business schools, one would think that researchers would have deep insights into this phenomenon. However, those who look closely at academic investigations of entrepreneurship realize that scholarly understanding of this field is quite limited. Unlike its sister fields of accounting, marketing, finance, organizational behavior and strategic management, entrepreneurship is rather poorly explained by academics. Scott Shane resolves this by considering the nexus of… [detailed...]

A General View of the Rural Economy of England, 1538-1840 (Cambridge Studies in Population, Economy and Society in Past Time, No 11)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In rural England prior to the Industrial Revolution people generally married when they were not busy with work. Parish registers of marriage therefore form an important and innovative source for the study of economic change in this period. Dr Kussmaul employs marriage dates to identify three main patterns of work and risk (arable, pastoral and rural industrial) and more importantly to show the long-term changes in economic activities across 542 English parishes from the beginning of national marriage registration in 1538. No single historical landscape emerges. Instead A General View of the Rural Economy of England, 1538-1840 maps the changes in economic orientation from arable through regional specialization to rural industrialization and explores how these changes had implications for the extent of population growth in the early modern period. Dr Kussmaul`s study presents a view of early modern English economic history from a unique standpoint. [detailed...]

A Generic Fault-Tolerant Architecture for Real-Time Dependable Systems

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The design of computer systems to be embedded in critical real-time applications is a complex task. Such systems must not only guarantee to meet hard real-time deadlines imposed by their physical environment, they must guarantee to do so dependably, despite both physical faults (in hardware) and design faults (in hardware or software). A fault-tolerance approach is mandatory for these guarantees to be commensurate with the safety and reliability requirements of many life- and mission-critical applications. A Generic Fault-Tolerant Architecture for Real-Time Dependable Systems explains the motivations and the results of a collaborative project(*), whose objective was to significantly decrease the lifecycle costs of such fault-tolerant systems. The end-user companies participating in this project currently deploy fault-tolerant systems in critical railway, space and nuclear-propulsion applications. However, these are proprietary systems whose architectures have been tailored to meet… [detailed...]

A Genius for Place: American Landscapes of the Country Place Era

2007 y.
Publisher: University of Massachusetts Press
Description: The definitive work on a formative period in American landscape design. In this lavishly illustrated volume, Robin Karson traces the development of a distinctly American style of landscape design through an analysis of seven country places created by some of the nation`s most talented landscape practitioners. In the mid-nineteenth century Frederick Law Olmsted, the designer of New York`s Central Park, developed an approach to landscape design based on the principles of the English Picturesque which also emphasized a specifically American experience of nature and scenery. After Olmsted`s retirement in 1897, these precepts continued to ground a new generation of American landscape architects through the next four decades, a period known as the country place era, a time of rapid economic, social, and cultural change. In the early twentieth century, new fortunes made it possible for wealthy Americans to commission country estates as a means of aggrandizing social status…. [detailed...]

A Gentle Creature and Other Stories

Publisher: Oxford University Press
Description: In these three stories Dostoevsky explores both the figure of the dreamer divorced from reality and his own ambiguous attitude to utopianism, themes central to many of his great novels. In White Nights the apparent idyll of the dreamer`s romantic fantasies disguises profound loneliness and estrangement from reality. A Gentle Creature and The Dream of a Ridiculous Man show how such a withdrawal into the world of the imagination can end in spiritual desolation and moral indifference and how, in Dostoevsky`s view, the tragedy of the alienated individual can be resolved only by rediscovering a sense of compassion and responsibility towards fellow human beings.

A Gentleman in Charleston And the Manner of His Death

Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionOnce deemed `the most powerful man in the South,` Charleston newspaper editor Frank Dawson met his violent death in March 1889, at the hands of his neighbor, a disreputable doctor who was attempting to seduce the Dawson family governess. Drawn from events surrounding this infamous episode, the third novel from the Lillian Smith Award-winning William Baldwin pulls back the veil of a genteel society in a fabled southern city and exposes a dark visage of anger and secret pain that no amount of imposed manners could restrain, and only love might eventually heal. With a southern storyteller?s passion for intricate emotional and physical details, Baldwin, through the fictional guise of Capt. David Lawton, chronicles editor Dawson?s fated end. Having survived three years of bloody Civil War combat and the decade of violent Reconstruction that followed, the liberal-minded Lawton is now an embattled newspaperman whose national importance is on the wane. Still, he… [detailed...]

A Geography of Oysters: The Connoisseur`s Guide to Oyster Eating in North America

2007 y.
Publisher: Bloomsbury USA
Description: Considered one of the great sensual foods since the time of ancient Rome, eaten in the United States since its earliest human habitation, oysters are now seeing an American renaissance. Like wine and cheese, they owe much of their flavor to terroir, or the specific environment in which they grow-indeed, oysters are the food that tastes most like the sea. Today, there are at least two hundred unique oyster `appellations` in North America, each producing oysters with a distinct and consistent flavor-some merely passable, others dazzling. Beautifully written and illustrated, A Geography of Oysters is an indispensable guide to the oysters of America, describing each oyster`s appearance, flavor, origin, and availability. Readers will learn how to shuck, how to pair wines and oysters, and how to navigate a raw bar with skill and panache. The book includes recipes, maps, black-and-white photos, and a color guide, as well as lists of top oyster restaurants, producers, and festivals…. [detailed...]
