The American System Speeches on the Tariff Question and on Internal Improvements

Andrew Stewart (1791-1872) advocated protectionist policies for nearly two decades in the House of Representatives gaining national renown as Chairman of the House Committees on the Tariff and Internal Improvements in the 1820s.

Lectures On Phase Transitions And The Renormalization Group

Lectures On Phase Transitions And The Renormalization Group

Covering the elementary aspects of the physics of phases transitions and the renormalization group this popular book is widely used both for core graduate statistical mechanics courses as well as for more specialized courses. Emphasizing understanding and clarity rather than technical manipulation these lectures de-mystify the subject and show precisely how things work. Goldenfeld keeps in mind a reader who wants to understand why things are done what the results are and what in principle can go wrong. The book reaches both experimentalists and theorists students and even active researchers and assumes only a prior knowledge of statistical mechanics at the introductory graduate level. Advanced never-before-printed topics on the applications of renormalization group far from equilibrium and to partial differential equations add to the uniqueness of this book. | Lectures On Phase Transitions And The Renormalization Group

The War on Terrorism 21st-century Perspectives

The War on Terrorism 21st-century Perspectives

On September 11 2001 a small number of desperate men hoping to earn paradise attacked New York and Washington D. C. Their spectacular acts of destruction concluded America's nearly decade-long vacation from insecurity known as the post-Cold War era. As eras go this one was short and it certainly ended with a bang not a whimper. The United States still sole superpower was now challenged by a bleak new world. Americans do not care for the bleak and do not tolerate it for long. Predictably national shock soon became righteous anger coupled to international campaigns against groups and states held responsible for the scourge of terrorism. These were short-term measures that hurt our enemies but did not fix the problem. Not long after these events the Foreign Policy Research Institute organized a new Center on Terrorism Counterterrorism and Homeland Security. Its purpose was to take a longer term view of the terrorism problem and what might be done about it-not only academic research but also policy suggestions. This book contains a broad selection of the Center's output including essays on American strategy homeland security knowing the enemy and the military dimension. A notable feature is the discussion of the educational issue: what and how to teach our children about terrorism. | The War on Terrorism 21st-century Perspectives

Psychoanalysis on the Verge of Language Clinical Cases on the Edge

Psychoanalysis on the Verge of Language Clinical Cases on the Edge

This book examines the importance of language and writing in psychoanalytic theory and practice offering an understanding of how language works can give a deeper insight into the psyche both in clinical practice and everyday life. Bringing together psychoanalytic insights that hinge on the language of difficult cases this collection also includes contributions dedicated to meta-study of psychoanalytic writing. The first chapter shows how music includes tonal regions that deploy existing rules and syntax alongside atonal ones dominated by caesuras pauses and tensions. The second chapter discusses the malignant ambiguity of revealing and concealing typical of incestuous situations pinpointing how the ambiguous language of incest deceives by means of the truth . The third chapter brings in Virginia Woolf’s character Orlando in order to illustrate two types of gender crossing. Distinctions defined by the linguist Roman Jakobson help in the fourth chapter to offer an integrative description of obsessive-compulsive phenomenon as an interaction between metaphoric and metonymic dimensions as well as with a third psychotic dimension. The fifth chapter focuses on what is called the screen confessions typical of the perpetrator’s language. George Orwell’s newspeak is used here to decipher the specific means by which the perpetrator turns his or her inner witness into a blind one. The final chapter uses Roland Barthes’ concepts of studium and punctum to discuss the limits of psychoanalytic writing. As a whole this book sets the psychoanalytic importance of language in a wider understanding of how language helps to shape and even create internal as well as the external world. Drawing on insights from psychoanalytic theory and practice as well as from linguistics and cultural theory this book will be invaluable for psychoanalysts psychoanalytic psychotherapists and bibliotherapists as well as anyone interested in how language forms our reality. | Psychoanalysis on the Verge of Language Clinical Cases on the Edge

Real Animals on the Stage

Real Animals on the Stage

Through a series of case studies this book explores the role of live animals on the stage from the early modern era to the present time. The contributors deal with visual and textual representations of performing animals; typologies of animals in the theatre; the hybridization of the drama with the circus the zoo and the cinema; as well as the semiotic transfer of animal roles from the text to the stage. The focus lies on the changing historical fortunes of the four-footed actor and on exploring the ways that attitudes to the animal affect their dramatic representations – within aesthetic contexts but also in their dramatized scientific use. Exploring snapshots of acting animals from their earliest manifestation on the early modern stage the chapters contextualize and theorize particular uses of the animal actor and key into current debates on the cutting edge of animal performance studies. While seeking to consider how these theoretical perspectives were formed the collection delves into the multiple ways through which the animal presence problematizes the practice of theatricality. This book was originally published as a special issue of Studies in Theatre and Performance. | Real Animals on the Stage

Immigrants on the Threshold

Immigrants on the Threshold

This first large-scale empirical work on the adjustment problems of immigrants in Israel is now updated with a new introduction by the author and a preface by Alex Weingrod. The extraordinary phenomenon of worldwide immigration to Israel has made this searching study of people in transit possible. Immigrants on the Threshold reports on the attitudes and behaviors of almost 2 000 people from twenty countries during their first year in Israel during the early years of mass migration. It is of particular interest as the phenomenon of integration becomes an issue for concern in many other parts of the world. Immigrants on the Threshold by Judith Shuval presents a theoretical framework closely intermeshed with rich empirical findings. No other work in this field approaches this study in either depth of theoretical analysis or in design and execution of data collection performed by conducting in-depth interviews and then using statistical analysis to quantify results in exacting and objective detail. It attempts to answer a number of critical questions: What factors in the immigrants' past and present condition their responses to the strain of transit? What is the role of commitment to the goal of the new society into which they must incorporate? What is the role of different social and economic backgrounds in determining patterns of acculturation? What factors affect the aspirations and mobility patterns of immigrants? The answers to these questions - the hypotheses formulated and the conclusions reached in Immigrants on the Threshold - contribute substantially to the fields of both sociology and social psychology. These answers and the methods used to reach them should be of interest to anyone in these fields and the field of applied social research as well as those interested in Israel and questions of immigrant integration.

History Politics and the American Past Essays on Methodology

History Politics and the American Past Essays on Methodology

History Politics and the American Past assesses the connection between historiography and politics in America on the basis of an important methodological distinction between the past and the history written about it. While necessarily interpreting the past professional historians and those with a general interest alike remain tempted consciously or not to make American history serve their own political and moral views. There is a tendency to impose our present values on the past and sometimes go so far as to believe the past can be changed by present action. In this volume Ari Helo analyzes examples of this including metahistorical narratives presidential speeches and the occasionally vague rhetoric of the Confederate statue campaigns before diagnosing the source of doing so and suggesting how we might avoid it. Taking America as its example the book illuminates essential methodological issues related to history writing while deciphering the complicated relationship of history and politics. The book will be of interest to scholars and students of American history historiography American studies and cultural studies providing a vivid account of how to make sense of American history. | History Politics and the American Past Essays on Methodology

On Animation The Director's Perspective Vol 1

On Animation The Director's Perspective Vol 1

Be a fly on the wall as industry leaders Bill Kroyer and Tom Sito take us through insightful face-to-face interviews revealing in these two volumes the journeys of 23 world-class directors as they candidly share their experiences and personal views on the process of making feature animated films. The interviews were produced and edited by Ron Diamond. Your job is not to be the one with the answers. You should be the one that gets the answers. That’s your job. You need to make friends and get to know your crew. These folks are your talent your bag of tricks. And that’s where you’re going to find answers to the big problems - Andrew Stanton It’s hard. Yet the pain you go through to get what you need for your film enriches you and it enriches the film. – Brenda Chapman Frank and Ollie always used to say that great character animation contains movement that is generated by the character’s thought process. It can’t be plain movement. – John Lasseter The beauty of clay is that it doesn’t have to be too polished or too smooth and sophisticated. You don’t want it to be mechanical and lifeless. – Nick Park The good thing about animation is that tape is very cheap. Let the actor try things. This is where animation gets to play with spontaneity. You want to capture that line as it has never been said before. And most likely if you asked the actor to do it again he or she just can’t repeat that exact performance. But you got it. – Ron Clements | On Animation The Director's Perspective Vol 1

Marketing Graffiti The Writing on the Wall

Marketing Graffiti The Writing on the Wall

Radical and unique in its approach and presentation Marketing Graffiti turns the traditional marketing introduction on its head by helping students to understand the part they already play as ‘consumers’ in the marketing process. Most marketing textbooks tackle the subject as a business function – i. e. how to do marketing in companies and other organizations. Marketing Graffiti shows how marketing is not just a business function but a part of our culture and one in which we are all active as part-time marketers. By rejecting managerially-driven structures in this way Saren's approach makes marketing immediate and instantly recognizable as a process and a phenomenon in which we are already complicit. It helps readers to become aware of what they already know. Critically examining a wide range of products businesses technologies information services ads packaging and branding Saren utilizes everyday images and phenomena to draw out the conceptual foundations of marketing from a social science and cultural studies perspective as something that we all experience in everyday life. This new edition of the first critical marketing textbook discusses the role new technologies (such as social media) play in marketing culture and how this can potentially place more power in the clicks of the consumer. It includes new updated or expanded sections on market exclusion the role of the consumer in innovation space and place pricing consumer communities collaborative consumption and social media marketing. Leading experts in these fields of research and marketing practice also contribute additional sections on these topics. This essential marketing guide is supported by a range of teaching support materials including the latest journal and online references guides to further reading teaching slides and test bank questions | Marketing Graffiti The Writing on the Wall

The Implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change

The Implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change

In December 2015 196 parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) adopted the Paris Agreement seen as a decisive landmark for global action to stop human- induced climate change. The Paris Agreement will replace the 1997 Kyoto Protocol which expires in 2020 and it creates legally binding obligations on the parties based on their own bottom-up voluntary commitments to implement Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). The codification of the climate change regime has advanced well but the implementation of it remains uncertain. This book focuses on the implementation prospects of the Agreement which is a challenge for all and will require a fully comprehensive burden- sharing framework. Parties need to meet their own NDCs but also to finance and transfer technology to others who do not have enough. How equity- based and facilitative the process will be is of crucial importance. The volume examines a broad range of issues including the lessons that can be learnt from the implementation of previous environmental legal regimes climate policies at national and sub-national levels and whether the implementation mechanisms in the Paris Agreement are likely to be sufficient. Written by leading experts and practitioners the book diagnoses the gaps and lays the ground for future exploration of implementation options. This collection will be of interest to policy-makers academics practitioners students and researchers focusing on climate change governance. | The Implementation of the Paris Agreement on Climate Change

The Order of Learning Essays on the Contemporary University

The Order of Learning Essays on the Contemporary University

The Order of Learning considers the problems facing higher education by focusing on main underlying factors: the relationship of higher education to government academic freedom and the responsibilities of the academic profession among others. Edward Shils argues that higher education has a central role in society and that distractions such as pressures from government disinterest of students and faculty in education and involvement of institutions of higher learning in social questions have damaged higher education by deflecting it from its commitment to teaching learning and research. Shils believes that the modern university must be steadfast in its commitment to the pursuit of truth the education of students and the provision of research. Universities should not be all things to all people. On one hand the academic community must understand the essential mission of the university and resist distractions. On the other government must provide the necessary support to higher education even when the immediate pay-off is not self-evident. This book provides a refreshing new perspective precisely by taking a traditional stance on the role of higher education in modern society. It includes carefully researched and elegantly written essays on many of the central issues facing education today. This work will be of great interest to educators and students alike as well as those interested in the future of higher education in the United States. | The Order of Learning Essays on the Contemporary University
