Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Goethe`s Female Characters From the Original Drawings of William Kaulbach

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe most admired of German painters has given the world his pictorial conception of the women drawn by the greatest of German poets: Kaulbach has undertaken to illustrate Goethe. The painter who attempts to illustrate the familiar writings of a poet is under very peculiar disadvantages, which do not affect the painter who chooses less familiar subjects. Very few readers have the pictorial imagination in sufficient activity to translate the verbal symbols of the poet into corresponding images, and see, as he sees, with vivid clearness both the persons and the objects presented in his verse. This volume illustrates the penultimate melding of art and poetry. [detailed...]

Andrei Bely
Gogol`s Artistry

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: When one great author engages another, as Andrei Bely so brilliantly does in `Gogol`s Artistry`, the result is inevitably a telling portrait of both writers. So it is in `Gogol`s Artistry`. Translated into English for the first time, this idiosyncratic, exhaustive critical study is as interesting for what it tells us about Bely`s thought and method as it is for its insights into the oeuvre of his literary predecessor. Bely`s argument in this book is that Gogol`s earlier writing should be given more consideration than most critics have granted. Employing what might be called a scientific perspective, Bely considers how often certain colors appear, he diagrams sentences and discusses Gogol`s prose in terms of mathematical equations. The result, as strange and engaging as Bely`s best fiction, is also an innovative, thorough, and remarkably revealing work of criticism. [detailed...]

Goguen Categories: A Categorical Approach to L-fuzzy Relations

2007 y.
Publisher: Springer
Description: Goguen categories extend the relational calculus and its categorical formalization to the fuzzy world. Starting from the fundamental concepts of sets, binary relations and lattices this book introduces several categorical formulations of an abstract theory of relations such as allegories, Dedekind categories and related structures. It is shown that neither theory is sufficiently rich to describe basic operations on fuzzy relations. The book then introduces Goguen categories and provides a comprehensive study of these structures including their representation theory, and the definability of norm-based operations. The power of the theory is demonstrated by a comprehensive example. A certain Goguen category is used to specify and to develop a fuzzy controller. Based on its abstract description as well as certain desirable properties and their formal proofs, a verified controller is derived without compromising the - sometimes - intuitive choice of norm-based operations by… [detailed...]

Going Alone: The Case for Relaxed Reciprocity in Freeing Trade

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Since the end of World War II, the freeing of trade has been most visible in reciprocal liberalization agreements negotiated under the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, or GATT, and through increasing bilateral and plurilateral agreements. There has also, however, been a significant, if less visible, unilateral freeing of trade by several nations. This book, based on a research project directed by Jagdish Bhagwati, examines the experiences with such unilateral trade liberalization. Part 1 considers historical experiences, following Britains unilateral embrace of free trade. Part 2 discusses recent examples, and Part 3 discusses unilateral liberalization in specific sectors. The substantive introduction provides a synthesis of the findings as well as theoretical support. It argues that although unilateral freeing of trade is generally less beneficial than reciprocity, it can trigger `sequential` reciprocity through example or by encouraging lobbies abroad to favor… [detailed...]

Going Down Jericho Road: The Memphis Strike, Martin Luther King`s Last Campaign

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: The definitive history of the epic struggle for economic justice that became Martin Luther King Jr.`s last crusade. Memphis in 1968 was ruled by a paternalistic `plantation mentality` embodied in its good-old-boy mayor, Henry Loeb. Wretched conditions, abusive white supervisors, poor education, and low wages locked most black workers into poverty. Then two sanitation workers were chewed up like garbage in the back of a faulty truck, igniting a public employee strike that brought to a boil long-simmering issues of racial injustice. With novelistic drama and rich scholarly detail, Michael Honey brings to life the magnetic characters who clashed on the Memphis battlefield: stalwart black workers, fiery black ministers, volatile, young, black-power advocates, idealistic organizers and tough-talking unionists, the first black members of the Memphis city council, the white upper crust who sought to prevent change or conflagration, and, finally, the magisterial Martin… [detailed...]

There`s Ownie Flanagan, an old-school trainer who scans the obituaries for odd names and trains men with more ambition than talent. He`s looking for `one real fighter` before he retires and believes Turmoil is it. And then there`s Scott MacDonald, a journalist assigned to the boxing beat -- a grotty but welcome getaway that promises to let him relive his own glory days through other men`s sweat.

Going Global? Power Tools for Negotiating International Business Deals

Publisher: —
Description: This easy to read book has been written as a nuts and bolts guide to negotiating the key terms in any international transaction. Only the most sophisticated or battle-hardened have a grasp of the key issues to be negotiated as part of striking the deal. There is often only one good chance to strike the bargain. But, you must know what to ask for, what to counter with, and what to offer up as a reasonable compromise. That is how deals get done. Without knowing the terms that make the best international deal, you will still end up with a deal - it just will not be the best you could have negotiated. There are many topics to negotiate and each sub-chapter is worthy of a legal treatise. However, legal treatises are not always practical guides. This book is for doing business. It is intended to be the handbook to read before the negotiation. Use it to strike the bargain, to support your firm stand or to help find your compromise. [detailed...]
