Pigeon Pie
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Campbell, R. Wright / Campbell, Robert, PUBLISHER: Mysterious Press, With the blessing of convicted congressman Leo Lundatos (since when did a little thing like a conviction hamper a Chicago politician?), Jimmy Flannery is poised to take over the famous Tenth, or Mayor's Ward. Jimmy has his doubts about this quick move up the political ladder -- especially as it seems to bring new friends and old enemies out of the woodwork -- but his friends, family, and old network of supporters cheer him on. Flannery's particularly nervous about Maggie Lundatos -- Leo's alluring soon-to-be ex-wife -- who may or may not be scheming to lure Jimmy into her luxurious bed. At the same time, Jimmy is fighting a well-organized right-winger's plan to ban "offensive" fiction from the Chicago public schools. When someone takes a shot at Jimmy from a moving auto in the wee hours of the morning -- a shot that slays his political ally and friend Mabel Halstead -- is it an old enemy or a new one? Jimmy's search for Mabel's killer, in the midst of the rough-and-tumble of a Windy City political campaign, yields some surprising results.
Thinker, Faker, Spinner, Spy: Coporate PR and the Assault on
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dinan, William / Miller, David, PUBLISHER: Pluto Press (UK), Bringing together leading activists and writers from the US and beyond, this book unmasks the covert and undemocratic world of corporate spin. Wherever big business is threatened, spin doctors, lobbyists, think tanks and front groups are on hand to push the corporate interest, often at the public's expense. The public relations industry is not just about celebrity gossip. The authors show how PR techniques are in use across a wide range of political fields, driven by corporate interests. They reveal the secrets of the PR trade including deception, the use of fake "institutes," spying and dirty tricks. The impact can be devastating--when the public is denied access to the truth, the results are rising inequality and environmental catastrophe. The book exposes the misdeeds of famous companies including BP, Coca Cola, British Aerospace, Exxon and Monsanto. It also reveals startling new information about the covert funding of various apparently independent think tanks and institutes. What can we do about it? The authors offer a guide to concrete campaigns that will help to roll back corporate power and show us how to raise awareness about resisting deceptive PR.

Sense and Sensitivity: How Focus Determines Meaning
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Beaver, David / Clark, Brady, PUBLISHER: Wiley-Blackwell, "Sense and Sensitivity" advances a novel research proposal in the nascent field of formal pragmatics, exploring in detail the semantics and pragmatics of focus in natural language discourse. The authors develop a new account of focus sensitivity, and show that what has hitherto been regarded as a uniform phenomenon in fact results from three different mechanisms. The book Makes a major contribution to ongoing research in the area of focus sensitivity - a field exploring interactions between sound and meaning, specifically the dependency some words have on the effects of focus, such as "she only LIKES me" (i.e. nothing deeper) compared to "she only likes ME" (i.e. nobody else) Discusses the features of the QFC theory (Quasi association, Free association, and Conventional association), a new account of focus implying a tripartite typology of focus-sensitive expressions Presents novel cross-linguistic data on focus and focus sensitivity that will be relevant across a range of linguistic sub-fields: semantics and pragmatics, syntax, and intonational phonology Concludes with a case study of exclusives (like "only"), arguing that the entire existing literature has missed crucial generalizations, and for the first time explaining the focus sensitivity of these expressions in terms of their meaning and discourse function

No More Tears...: Struggles for Land in Mpumalanga, South
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Levin, Richard / Weiner, Daniel, PUBLISHER: Africa World Press, Three years after South Africa's first nonracial democratic elections, the difficult process of social and economic transformation continues. About one-half of South Africa's 41 million people -- and two-thirds of the African population -- still live in deep poverty. Eight million live in shacks. Land hunger is widespread. Land dispossession caused by colonialism's and apartheid's forced removals and alienation of land and water rights lie at the heart of the repressive regime which the national liberation movement struggled against. In South Africa, land and agrarian reform policy is presently being developed as a top-down exercise increasingly informed by a neo-liberal macroeconomic policy orientation. In the book, this elite driven transition is contrasted with a proposed popular program of radical transformation. The specific role of the World Bank is criticized, and the results of a uniquely participatory research and policy development project recently undertaken in the Eastern Transvaal are presented. The book demonstrates why incorporating extensive knowledge that exists in poor rural areas into development of land and reform policies is essential for truly democratic social and economic transformation. This is an important book that will be useful for policy-makers, academics and the general public alike.
Three Divine Works
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Maloney, Sharon, PUBLISHER: PublishAmerica, There are many simple treasures in life. Happiness is one of them and, in my opinion, is the ultimate goal for many people who seek after it. Three Divine Works is a book where you can discover what creates happy feelings and how to achieve this. The main themes are spirituality and inspirational thought. Both of these ideas bring about happiness in different ways. Having a spiritual goal can be helpful in finding peace or structure in your life. Believing in God, for example, can be a beneficial approach to coping with stress, or other issues that seem too complicated or confusing to handle by yourself. Looking for a spiritual solution might be the answer, and when a bad situation works out, happiness results. My poetry will leave you with a lasting impression and a happy note concerning your feelings and special desires that make life so interesting that you want to see more each day. The stars above and the rainbow after the rain has come are indeed a part of nature and the big scheme of things that inspire, delight, and capture your heart I have also written poems about my experiences while traveling, meeting people, and becoming a writer.
The Economics of Imperfect Competition: A Spatial Approach
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Greenhut, Melvin L. / Norman, George / Hung, Chao-Shun, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book takes a new approach to traditional price theory and to the analysis of imperfect competition. It represents a breakthrough in the development of a 'new' microeconomic theory. Increasingly, it has been recognized that the perfectly competitive paradigm is inappropriate to the explanation of pricing behaviour in many 'real life' markets characterized by a significant separation between producers and consumers. The spatial perspective adopted by the authors provides a natural separation of markets, but provides as well a powerful analogy for apparently nonspatial issues such as product differentiation, pricing over time, problems of storage and transportation, and the economics of intraindustry trade and of the multinational enterprise. A major concern of The Economics of Imperfect Competition: A Spatial Approach is to make these analogies explicit by applying this spatial analysis to a wide variety of nonspatial problems. In addition, the analysis and results presented in this book are shown to carry signficant policy implications with respect, for example, to the Robinson-Patman legislation, antimerger policies, and antidumping legislation. In particular, the authors have addressed issues that are of increasing concern to specialists, researchers, policy makers, and students in the areas of price theory, industrial organization, international trade, and regional and urban economics.
Go-Givers Sell More
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Burg, Bob / Mann, John David, PUBLISHER: Portfolio, With their national bestseller "The Go-Giver," Bob Burg and John David Mann took the business world by storm, showing that giving is the most fulfilling and effective path to success. That simple, profound story has inspired hundreds of thousands of readers around the world-but some have wondered how its lessons stand up to the tough challenges of everyday real-world business. Now Burg and Mann answer that question in "Go-Givers Sell More," a practical guide that makes giving the cornerstone of a powerful and effective approach to selling. Most of us think of sales as convincing potential customers to do something they don't really want to. This mentality sets up an adversarial relationship and makes the sales process much harder than it has to be. As Burg and Mann demonstrate, it's far more productive (and satisfying) when salespeople think like Go-Givers. Cultivate a trusting relationship and focus exclusively on creating value for the other person, say the authors, and great results will follow automatically. Drawing on a wide range of examples of real-life salespeople who have prospered by giving more, Burg and Mann offer tips and strategies that anyone in sales can start applying right away.
Harmonic Analysis of Mean Periodic Functions on Symmetric
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Volchkov, Valery V. / Volchkov, Vitaly V. / Volchkov, V. V., PUBLISHER: Springer, The book presents the first systematic and unified treatment of the theory of mean periodic functions on homogeneous spaces. This area has its classical roots in the beginning of the twentieth century and is now a very active research area, having close connections to harmonic analysis, complex analysis, integral geometry, and analysis on symmetric spaces. The main purpose of this book is the study of local aspects of spectral analysis and spectral synthesis on Euclidean spaces, Riemannian symmetric spaces of an arbitrary rank and Heisenberg groups. The subject can be viewed as arising from three classical topics: Johna (TM)s support theorem, Schwartza (TM)s fundamental principle, and Delsartea (TM)s two-radii theorem. Very up-to-date, the book contains most of the significant recent results in this area with complete and detailed proofs. In order to make this book accessible to a wide audience, the authors provide an introductory part developing analysis on symmetric spaces without use of Lie theory. Challenging open problems are described and explained, and promising new research directions are indicated. Designed for both experts and beginners in the field, the book is rich in methods for a wide variety of problems in many areas of mathematics. Acquista Ora

Design and Construction of Levees
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: U. S. Army Corps of Engineers, PUBLISHER: University Press of the Pacific, The purpose of this manual is to present basic principles used in the design and construction of earth levees. The term levee as used herein is defined as an embankment whose primary purpose is to furnish flood protection from seasonal high water and which is therefore subject to water loading for periods of only a few days or weeks a year. Embankments that are subject to water loading for prolonged periods (longer than normal flood protection requirements) or permanently should be designed in accordance with earth dam criteria rather than the levee criteria given herein. Even though levees are similar to small earth dams they differ from earth dams in the following important respects: (a) a levee embankment may become saturated for only a short period of time beyond the limit of capillary saturation, (b) levee alignment is dictated primarily by flood protection requirements, which often results in construction on poor foundations, and (c) borrow is generally obtained from shallow pits or from channels excavated adjacent to the levee, which produce fill material that is often heterogeneous and far from ideal. Selection of the levee section is often based on the properties of the poorest material that must be used.
Bananas about La Palma
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Addison, David M., PUBLISHER: Authorhouse, With a song for every occasion, the author embarks on another adventure, this time to La Palma in the Canary Islands. Having learnt from previous encounters that neighbours are not conducive to good holidays, he elects this time to stay in a remote country cottage. If he imagined this would avoid encountering irritating people and ensure a trouble-free, idyllic, romantic holiday with his long-suffering wife, he was sadly mistaken. His gift for putting his foot in it, as usual, results in a series of tight scrapes, excruciatingly embarrassing for him, but which provides the reader with a vicarious sense of pleasure, not to mention Schadenfreude, appropriately enough, for Germans seem to cross the writer's path with amazing regularity. Follow in the author's footsteps, let him be your guide as he explores every aspect of this island, which, he concludes, is one of the most spectacular he has ever visited, yet one of the least visited in the Canarian archipelago. Along the way, seen from his personal and offbeat perspective, he will undoubtedly inform you, certainly entertain you and hopefully persuade you - you must visit this island before you die. But before he dies, the author considers some possible solutions before staring eternity in the face.
Mining the Web: Discovering Knowledge from Hypertext Data
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Chakrabarti, Soumen, PUBLISHER: Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, Mining the Web: Discovering Knowledge from Hypertext Data is the first book devoted entirely to techniques for producing knowledge from the vast body of unstructured Web data. Building on an initial survey of infrastructural issues-including Web crawling and indexing-Chakrabarti examines low-level machine learning techniques as they relate specifically to the challenges of Web mining. He then devotes the final part of the book to applications that unite infrastructure and analysis to bring machine learning to bear on systematically acquired and stored data. Here the focus is on results: the strengths and weaknesses of these applications, along with their potential as foundations for further progress. From Chakrabarti's work-painstaking, critical, and forward-looking-readers will gain the theoretical and practical understanding they need to contribute to the Web mining effort. * A comprehensive, critical exploration of statistics-based attempts to make sense of Web Mining. * Details the special challenges associated with analyzing unstructured and semi-structured data. * Looks at how classical Information Retrieval techniques have been modified for use with Web data. * Focuses on today's dominant learning methods: clustering and classification, hyperlink analysis, and supervised and semi-supervised learning. * Analyzes current applications for resource discovery and social network analysis. * An excellent way to introduce students to especially vital applications of data mining and machine learning technology.

Do the Right Thing: Studies in Limited Rationality
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Russell, Stuart J. / Wefald, Eric H., PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), Like Mooki, the hero of Spike Lee's film "Do the Right Thing," artificially intelligent systems have a hard time knowing what to do in all circumstances. Classical theories of perfect rationality prescribe the "right thing" for any occasion, but no finite agent can compute their prescriptions fast enough. In "Do the Right Thing, " the authors argue that a new theoretical foundation for artificial intelligence can be constructed in which rationality is a property of "programs" within a finite architecture, and their behavior over time in the task environment, rather than a property of individual decisions. "Do the Right Thing" suggests that the rich structure that seems to be exhibited by humans, and ought to be exhibited by AI systems, is a necessary result of the pressure for optimal behavior operating within a system of strictly limited resources. It provides an outline for the design of new intelligent systems and describes theoretical and practical tools for bringing about intelligent behavior in finite machines. The tools are applied to game planning and real-time problem solving, with surprising results. Contents: Limited Rationality. Execution Architectures for Decision Procedures. Metareasoning Architecture. Rational Metareasoning. Application to Game Playing. Application to Problem Solving Search. Learning the Value of Computation. Toward Limited Rational Agents.
Green for Life
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Boutenko, Victoria / Menzin, William MD / Menzin, A. William, PUBLISHER: North Atlantic Books, Everyone knows they need to eat more fruits and vegetables, but even consuming the minimum FDA-recommended five servings a day can be challenging. In "Green for Life, " raw foods pioneer Victoria Boutenko presents an overlooked powerhouse of nutrition in this equation: greens. For their bounty of minerals and nutrients, greens exceed other vegetables in value. "Green for Life" details the immense health benefits of greens and suggests an easy way to consume them in sufficient quantities: the green smoothie. This quick, simple drink benefits everyone, regardless of lifestyle, diet, or environment. Green smoothies eliminate toxins, correct nutritional deficiencies, and are delicious. "Green for Life" includes the latest information on the abundance of protein in greens, the benefits of fiber, the role of greens in homeostasis, the significance of stomach acid, how greens make the body more alkaline, the healing power of chlorophyll, and more. Also included are the results of a pilot study demonstrating the effectiveness of adding just one quart of green smoothies a day to one's diet, without changing anything else in dietary intake. Green smoothie testimonials and recipes give readers confidence and motivation in exploring green smoothies for themselves. Offering more in-depth nutritional and experiential information than Boutenko's recently released "Green Smoothie Revolution, Green for Life" makes an ideal companion piece to its recipe-rich successor.
Clinical Handbook of Surgical Critical Care
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Burchard, Kenneth W. / Wiles, Charles E. / Gann, Donald S., PUBLISHER: Informa Healthcare, The surgical patient may exhibit a variety of subtle and not so subtle clues that a problem, or in the words of the authors a hole, is present. Therefore, when evaluating and managing the critically ill patient, the critical care surgeon must proceed through a series of three questions: Where is the hole? How do I repair the hole? and the most critical question, Why is the hole there? The Clinical Handbook for Surgical Critical Care is a guide to answering these questions, bringing into focus the importance of why is the hole there? and exploring how to effectively make it disappear. Since much of surgical critical illness is secondary to either inadequate circulation, pathological inflammation, or both, the authors pay particular attention to the recognition of these conditions associated with particular disease states. The authors examine the pathophysiology that underlie these disease states and then the physical examination, monitoring, and laboratory results that lead to a diagnosis. They discuss appropriate management of the deranged physiology and provide the supporting evidence for treatment. The Clinical Handbook for Surgical Critical Care serves as a manual for reviewing and contrasting organ physiology during normal and pathological states and recognizing the pathophysiological states related to surgical disease and procedures. It gives you a clear understanding of the link between deficits in the circulation and pathological inflammation that is key to a successful outcome.
