Fairy Tales and Society: Illusion, Allusion, and Paradigm

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bottigheimer, Ruth B., PUBLISHER: University of Pennsylvania Press, This collection of exemplary essays by internationally recognized scholars examines the fairy tale from historical, folkloristic, literary, and psychoanalytical points of view. For generations of children and adults, fairy tales have encapsulated social values, often through the use of fixed characters and situations, to a far greater extent than any other oral or literary form. In many societies, fairy tales function as a paradigm both for understanding society and for developing individual behavior and personality.A few of the topics covered in this volume: oral narration in contemporary society; madness and cure in the " Nights"; the female voice in folklore and fairy tale; change in narrative form; tests, tasks, and trials in the Grimms' fairy tales; and folklorists as agents of nationalism. The subject of methodology is discussed by Torborg Lundell, Stven Swann Jones, Hans-Jorg Uther, and Anna Tavis.

Memory and Context for Language Interpretation

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Alshawi, Hiyan / Boguraev, Branimir / Bird, Steven, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book presents computational mechanisms for solving common language interpretation problems including many cases of reference resolution, word sense disambiguation, and the interpretation of relationships implicit in modifiers. The proposed memory and context mechanisms provide the means for representing and applying information about the semantic relationships between entities imposed by the cultural context. The effects of different 'context factors', derived from multiple sources, are combined for disambiguation and for limiting memory search; the factors having been created and manipulated gradually during discourse processing.

The Creative Priority: Driving Innovative Business in the

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hirshberg, Jerry, PUBLISHER: HarperBusiness, As head of Nissan Design International (NDI), creative guru Jerry Hirshberg has led a revolution in automotive design and innovative management. According to the New York Times, more than 2.1 million of his American-designed vehicles -- the Altima, Pathfinder, and Maxima -- have been sold in the United States. Truly innovative and versatile, Hirshberg's renowned creative team has also designed products as varied as computers for Motorola and golf clubs for Taylor-Made. Now, in yet another exciting innovation, Jerry Hirshberg draws upon his 19 years of leadership experience to show how prioritizing the creative process can enhance not only innovation, but productivity, efficiency, teamwork, and sales. How can creativity become a fundamental organizing principle of business? Distilling his management techniques into 12 highly effective principles, Hirshberg demonstrates why many of his revolutionary ideas -- "hiring in divergent pairs", fostering "creative abrasion", and "embracing the dragon" -- are already being taught in the business schools at Stanford, Berkeley, and Harvard. His blow-by-blow account of the successful NDI experiment, complemented with many elegant NDI designs, makes The Creative Priority a breakthrough book that readers can use in responding creatively to the countless challenges awaiting them in business -- and in life.

A Primer on Wavelets and Their Scientific Applications

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Walker, James S. / Krantz, Steven G., PUBLISHER: CRC Press, The rapid growth of wavelet applications-speech compression and analysis, image compression and enhancement, and removing noise from audio and images-has created an explosion of activity in creating a theory of wavelet analysis and applying it to a wide variety of scientific and engineering problems. It becomes important, then, that engineers and scientists have a working understanding of wavelets. Until now, however, the study of wavelets has been beyond the mathematical grasp of many who need this understanding. Most treatments of the subject involve ideas from functional analysis, harmonic analysis, and other difficult mathematical techniques. Wavelets and their Scientific Applications offers an introduction to wavelet analysis without mathematical rigor, requiring only algebra and some very basic calculus. The author stresses applications, and explains, using elementary algebra, how wavelet methods are typically applied in analyzing digital data. Software is available for download through CRC's Website that will enable recording, playing, and modifying sound files, and includes a facility for displaying, printing and modifying IEEE gray field images. Unlike other software packages for wavelet analysis, the author developed this attractive, easy-to-use software without the need for a C++ compiler or MATLABa. Throughout the book the author provides numerous suggestions for computer experiments designed to challenge and enhance the reader's comprehension and provide practice in applying the concepts learned. Wavelets and their Scientific Applications thus provides the perfect vehicle for understanding wavelets and their uses. It provides a fast-track learning opportunity for scientists and mathematicians unfamiliar with wavelet concepts and applications, and it is ideal for anyone without an extensive mathematical background.

This challenging collection is required reading for anyone concerned with the history of racism, discrimination, and the Latter-day Saints.

Rationing Education: Policy, Practice, Reform and Equity

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gillborn, David / Youdell, Deborah, PUBLISHER: Open University Press, Recent educational reforms have raised standards of achievement but have also resulted in growing inequalities based on gender, 'race' and social class. School by school 'league tables' play a central role in the reforms. These have created an A-to-C economy where schools and teachers are judged on the proportion of students attaining five or more grades at levels A-to-C. To satisfy these demands schools are embracing new and ever more selective attempts to identify 'ability'. Their assumptions and practices embody a new IQism: a simple, narrow and regressive ideology of intelligence that labels working class and minority students as likely failures and justifies rationing provision to support those (often white, middle class boys) already marked for success. This book reports detailed research in two secondary schools showing the real costs of reform in terms of the pressures on teachers and the rationing of educational opportunity.

Japanese candlestick charting techniques

Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques: A Contemporary Guide to the Ancient Investment Techniques of the Far East. Traditional Western methods for chart analysis (the basis of all technical analyses) use bar or points and figure charts. Yet over 100 years before these methods originated, the Japanese were using their own style of technical analysis for use in the rice futures market. This technique - known as the Japanese Candlestick Charting Techniques because of its close resemblance to andlesticks - has recently been attracting attention because it provides unique insights into the market. This work features over 300 charts that use candlesticks alone and in conjunction with Western charting techniques, and explains their use.

Unity Temple: Frank Lloyd Wright and Architecture for

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Siry, Joseph M., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The first in-depth study of one of the seminal works of America's most renowned twentieth-century architect is now available in paperback. In this study, Joseph Siry examines the building in the light of Wright's earlier religious architecture, his methods of design, and his innovative construction techniques, particularly the use of reinforced concrete which was here exploited and expressively deployed for the first time. He also sets Unity Temple against the tradition of the liberal Unitarian and Universalist religious culture, the institutional history of the affluent Oak Park congregation that commissioned the building, as well as the social context in which structure was conceived and built. Throughout, Unity Temple is treated as a work of art that embodies both Wright's theory of architecture and his liberal religious ideals.
