The Celebration of Scandal: Toward the Sublime in Victorian

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bernstein, Carol L., PUBLISHER: Penn State University Press, Bernstein explores the representation of the city in Victorian fiction--from the scandal of its slums, through the sublime of its fashionable society, to a darker urban sublime. The Celebration of Scandal analyzes the urban fiction of both well-known novelists (Dickens, Gissing, James, and Meredith) and more marginal writers (Disraeli and Bulwer-Lytton) in terms of their representations of the city, both the scandalous and the sublime. It also includes a discussion of the dandy novels of Catherine Gore, whose parodies of high life are virtually unknown to modern readers. Bernstein explores the scandals lying at the heart of the representation of the city in Victorian fiction. Social scandals--slums that belie the myths of urban progress, for instance--are only intensified by methods of representation that overturn mimetic conventions. But if one pole of this study is the scandal, then its opposite is the sublime. Bernstein examines the parodic mode of the dandy and moves to the serious urban sublime that records urban experience in its ambiguity, its narcissism, its negativity, and its strength. Bernstein then discusses fictional and nonfictional urban sketches that present many of the problems facing urban artists in their encounters with the city. She stakes out new territory, blending the work of major critics of Victorian literature (Steven Marcus, Hillis Miller, etc.), lesser-known nineteenth-century urban texts, and a substantial dosage of Continental materials, ranging from the crucial work of Baudelaire and his great expositor, Walter Benjamin, to theorists such as Freud, Bakhtin, Foucault, Barthes, and Lacan.

The Elite and the Economy in Siam, C.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brown, Ian, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Although the Kingdom of Siam never fell under colonial rule, its economic experience in the 19th and early 20th centuries closely paralleled those countries that did. This study examines the principal influences that shaped the Siamese economy in the period , including a detailed analysis of the administrative elite's policy on the diversification of commerce and production, irrigation, agricultural reform, and the extraction of tin and teak. Unlike most recent Thai scholarship, this book focuses on the kingdom's external relations--its open integration into the world economy and its vulnerable geopolitical position in mainland Southeast Asia.

Robot Shaping: An Experiment in Behavior Engineering

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dorigo, Marco / Colombetti, Marco, PUBLISHER: Bradford Book, foreword by Lashon Booker To program an autonomous robot to act reliably in a dynamic environment is a complex task. The dynamics of the environment are unpredictable, and the robots' sensors provide noisy input. A learning autonomous robot, one that can acquire knowledge through interaction with its environment and then adapt its behavior, greatly simplifies the designer's work. A learning robot need not be given all of the details of its environment, and its sensors and actuators need not be finely tuned. "Robot Shaping" is about designing and building learning autonomous robots. The term "shaping" comes from experimental psychology, where it describes the incremental training of animals. The authors propose a new engineering discipline, "behavior engineering," to provide the methodologies and tools for creating autonomous robots. Their techniques are based on classifier systems, a reinforcement learning architecture originated by John Holland, to which they have added several new ideas, such as "mutespec," classifier system "energy," and dynamic population size. In the book they present Behavior Analysis and Training (BAT) as an example of a behavior engineering methodology.

The Story of the Nih Grants Foundation

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Strickland, Stephen P., PUBLISHER: University Press of America, This book makes available a short but comprehensive history of the National Institutes of Health's Grant Program that built America's national biomedical research capacity and brought medical science to its current zenith. The extramural programs of the NIH, through an array of grants to non-federal institutions, constitute the largest single source of funds for the nation's biomedical research enterprise. This book traces the history of this component of the agency from its conception in the final days of World War II to the present. The author skillfully blends his descriptions of the people and events that initiated and have shaped the program with an analysis of the environment in which it has developed.

Micromovement in Orthopaedics

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Turner-Smith, A. / Smith, Alan R. / Turner-Smith, Alan R., PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, The musculo-skeletal system undergoes constant micromovement in response to mechanical influences, which in turn effect the healing of fractures, the development of arthritis and osteoporosis, and the body's response to prosthetic implants. At one magnitude, micromovement promotes the healing of fractures, but at a higher magnitude, it inhibits healing. Micromovement of a total joint replacement can lead to bone resorption and subsequent loosening of the prosthesis. To what extent do theory, laboratory measurements of micromovement, and early in vivo measurements relate to each other and to final clinical outcome? What is the role played by physiological feedback in the control of load during the healing of the musculo-skeletal system? Clinicians and engineers together explored the medical implications of micromovement and evaluated methods for its measurement at a meeting held by the Oxford Orthopedic Engineering Centre in April . This book is based on a selection of contributions and the lively debate that followed.

The Future of Canada's Auto Industry: The Big Three and the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Perry, Ross / Canadian Institute for Economic Policy, PUBLISHER: James Lorimer & Company, "The Future of Canada's Auto Industry" offers a look at this crucial sector of the Canadian economy circa , with special emphasis on changes in the industrial heartland of Southern Ontario. Faced simultaneously with Japanese competition and retrenchment by United States' corporations, the contemporary Canadian industry seemed to be in irrevocable decline. To mitigate the effects of this, Perry examined areas of specialization where Canada, with its advantages in energy-intensive products, could be competitive in the world market. In the end he outlines two basic options for national policymakers--restructuring the industry for viability or watching its decline. "The Future of Canada's Auto Industry" offers an analysis of one of Canada's most important industries at a crucial period in its development.

Shutting Out the Sun: How Japan Created Its Own Lost

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Zielenziger, Michael, PUBLISHER: Vintage Books USA, The world's second-wealthiest country, Japan once seemed poised to overtake America as the leading global economic powerhouse. But the country failed to recover from the staggering economic collapse of the early s. Today it confronts an array of disturbing social trends, notably a population of more than one million "hikikomori": the young men who shut themselves in their rooms, withdrawing from society. There is also a growing numbers of "parasite singles": single women who refuse to leave home, marry, or bear children. In this trenchant investigation, Michael Zielenziger argues that Japan's tradition-steeped society, its aversion to change, and its distrust of individuality are stifling economic revival, political reform, and social evolution. "Shutting Out the Sun" is a bold explanation of Japan's stagnation and its implications for the rest of the world.

Pizza: From Its Italian Origins to the Modern Table

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Buonassisi, Rosario, PUBLISHER: Firefly Books, Although it will always be identified with Italy, pizza is now eaten and enjoyed around the world. Pizza is a book for pizza lovers everywhere. It traces the history of this popular food, from its earliest form over years ago to the present. And, despite all the frozen, home delivered and microwave varieties available today, Buonassisi still argues for the simple integrity of the classic Italian style pizza. The roots of pizza go back before the Roman Empire when this nutritious 'one pan meal' was a favorite way to feed the legions who had neither knives, forks, plates or, in many cases, a table at which to sit down. A simple slice of dough covered with toppings provided the ideal meal to be eaten with the hands with a minimum of preparations or washing up. Pizza concentrates on the great pizza cooking regions of Italy - Naples, of course, but the regions of Liguria and Sicily, among many others, have made great contributions to the development of pizza. After this fascinating tour through gastronomic history, Buonassisi offers wonderful, authentic recipes that allow you to create one of these authentic pizzas for yourself. Along with the history and the local lore that surrounds each pizza in the area of its origin, Buonassisi also gives us some personal reminiscences about each pizza - how he discovered it and his impressions of the great regions of Italy. There is also a section on how to select the appropriate wines to accompany each variety and recipe. Chapters on the correct way to make your own pizza oven, predictions about the future of pizza, and even what beer and wine to drink with which pizzas, complete this fully illustrated history of Italian pizza-making and its spread around the world. Pizza is not to be missed by pizza lovers and anyone interested in food, wine and cooking.
