Men of Letters, Writing Lives

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Broughton, Trev Lynn, PUBLISHER: Routledge, Trev Lynn Broughton takes an in-depth look at the developments within Victorian auto/biography, and asks what we can learn about the conditions and limits of male literary authority. Providing a feminist analysis of the effects of this literary production on culture, Broughton looks at the increase in professions with a vested interest in the written Life; the speeding up of the Life-and-Letters industry during this period; the institutionalization of Life-writing; and the consequent spread of a network of mainly male practitioners and commentators. This study focuses on two case studies from the period : the theories and achievements of Sir Leslie Stephen and the debate surrounding James Anthony Froude's account of the marriage of Thomas and Jane Welsh Carlyle.

Your American Birthright: Investing in Oil and Gas

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Thompson, Stephen M., PUBLISHER: Leland Energy Inc, "Your American Birthright" is a practical, how-to guide for the successful investor who wants to learn the necessary background for investing in domestic oil and natural gas production. Unlike most countries around the world, America offers its investors the opportunity to gain wealth through direct participation in domestic oil and gas production. "Your American Birthright" cogently describes the current world's energy markets as becoming more competitive. While there is still a substantial supply of oil and gas, locating it and bringing it to market is a difficult and arduous process. These limitations, coupled with the current surge in the growing global demand for energy consumption, will keep the energy markets increasingly profitable for those investors who are able to take advantage of these financial opportunities. "Your American Birthright" clearly explains all aspects involved in domestic oil and gas production and in energy investments. He also discusses how direct participation in energy production investments favorably compares to other investment alternatives, such as stocks, bonds and real estate. "Your American Birthright" contains a chapter of frequently asked questions that require objective answers all investors need to know. For the novice, Mr. Thompson provides a convenient glossary of energy related terminology.

The Changing U.S. Auto Industry: A Geographical Analysis

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rubenstein, James M. / Rubenstein, J. / Rubenstein Jame, PUBLISHER: Routledge, In recent years, automobile production in the United States has undergone changes on a scale unmatched since the pioneering era before World War I. Few plants have been opened in the interior of the country, while most of those located along the east and west coast have been closed. New technology, just-in-time delivery, and more flexible work rules have been introduced, sparked by changing consumer preferences, increasing sales for Japanese products, and declining market shares for American firms. In the fiercely competitive North American market, automakers look for every possible advantage, and they have found that location is a decisive element. "The Changing US Auto Industry" integrates concepts drawn from geography, such as access to markets and shipment of parts, to understand some of the reasons for the recent changes. The changing role of labor in the production process is also crucial, and this includes the search by Japanese firms for a union-free environment, the re-location of some production to Mexico, and the debate over the appropriate level of union-management cooperation. James Rubenstein captures the drama behind the changing distribution in the automobile industry: the Japanese arrival in small-town America and the competition among communities to attract new General Motors plants.

Property Companies and the Construction Industry in Britain

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smyth, Hedley / Robson, Brian / Ley, David, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book was the first detailed and systematic account of the property and construction sectors of the British economy. Developing out of a materialist theoretical perspective, Dr Smyth provides an alternative explanation of the different characteristics of the two sectors and rejects traditional notions of the 'backwardness' of the construction sector. The specific historical experience of the Second World War and the rebuilding it necessitated, provides the basis of this analysis and it is argued that the particular divergencies of the construction sector stem from periods of wider economic crisis. Similar periods of crisis have shaped the property sector which, dependent upon the complex relationship between ground rent, the value of the building and building rent, cannot be understood in terms of 'urban rent'. Property companies and the construction industry in Britain challenges both established and radical thinking and its historical account of the development, management and production of the built environment in the years since addresses some of the central concerns of human geography today.

Service Is Front Stage: Positioning Services for Value

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Teboul, James, PUBLISHER: Palgrave MacMillan, This book contains a simple but powerful definition of services based upon a separation between back-stage and front-stage activities. Services deal with front interactions, production and manufacturing with back-stage operations.

This is a novel approach to services that challenges the traditional view.

Pretty Pictures: Production Design and the History Film

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Tashiro, C. S., PUBLISHER: University of Texas Press, "The book is extremely original and demonstrates the author's deep understanding of many of the theoretical issues related to production design. Tashiro asks all of the hard questions and is not timid about supplying answers. Those answers will certainly stimulate discussion.... To my knowledge, no one covers the subject the way Tashiro does." -- Charles Affron, author of Sets in Motion: Art Direction and Film Narrative Theories of film have traditionally dealt with either narrative or industrial issues, with the consequence that the physical content of the graphic frame has often been ignored or relegated to the sidelines. By contrast, C. S. Tashiro foregrounds the visual aspect of cinema in this book, drawing on his experiences as a designer and filmmaker, as well as on contemporary theory, to show how production design can support or contradict narrative structure, or exist in an entirely parallel realm of meaning. Tashiro looks at cinematic production design from a broadly interdisciplinary perspective, encompassing art and architecture theory, audience reception, narrative theory, and phenomenology, to arrive at a more encompassing definition of the process. He builds his argument around studies of several prominent history films, since design is central to historical representation, and explores the most pertinent issues raised by the topic, particularly commodity consumption. In his conclusion, he also offers possible solutions to some of the social problems raised by design.

Social Cognition, Joint Attention, and Communicative

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Carpenter, Malinda / Nagell, Katherine / Tomasello, Michael, PUBLISHER: University of Chicago Press, The studies in this volume measure the various behaviors that are displayed as infants and mothers share their attention on an outside object: joint engagement, following gazes and points, gestures, imitation of actions, and language comprehension and production. The authors show how infants follow a progression from "sharing" to "following" to "directing" others' attention and behavior, and how these skills are related to early communicative competence. Their results have important implications for theories of social-cognitive and language development.

Artisans and Narrative Craft in Late Medieval England

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Cooper, Lisa H., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, Lisa H. Cooper offers new insight into the relationship of material practice and literary production in the Middle Ages by exploring the representation of craft labor in England from c.. She examines genres as diverse as the school-text, comic poem, spiritual allegory, and mirror for princes, and works by authors both well-known (Chaucer, Lydgate, Caxton) and far less so. Whether they represent craft as profitable endeavor, learned skill, or degrading toil, the texts she reviews not only depict artisans as increasingly legitimate members of the body politic, but also deploy images of craft labor and its products to confront other complex issues, including the nature of authorship, the purpose of community, the structure of the household, the fate of the soul, and the scope of princely power.
