Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Communism has collapsed. Capitalism has rid itself of the competition on which it thrives. But though now victorious, capitalism has become a threat. The future of us all may be shaped by the outcome of the conflict between capitalism as victor and capitalism as threat. Not only in Europe, but also in the US and Japan - and no doubt shortly in the Eastern countries too - the great debate is capitalism versus capitalism. On the one hand is the 'neo-American' model based on individual achievement and short-term profits. On the other is the Rhine model practices in Switzerland, Germany, Benelux, Northern Europe and, partly, in Japan. In the Rhine model collective achievement and public concensus are seen as the keys to long-term success. The first is more seductive, the second more effective. These two opposing forms of capitalism are engaged in a war which, like all internal conflicts, involves both secrecy and even hypocrisy. The outcome of this struggle could affect the quality of life on all levels of society. The author of this book aims to provide a synthesis which will force the reader to consider the political and economic issues at stake towards the end of the century.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The death of Edmond Jabes in January 1991 silenced one of the most compelling voices of the postmodern, post-Holocaust era. Jabes's importance as a thinker, philosopher, and Jewish theologian cannot be overestimated, and his enigmatic style--combining aphorism, fictional dialogue, prose meditation, poetry, and other forms--holds special appeal for postmodern sensibilities. In 'The Book of Margins, his most critical as well as most accessible book, Jabes is again concerned with the questions that inform all of his work: the nature of writing, of silence, of God and the Book. Jabes considers the work of several of his contemporaries, including Georges Bataille, Maurice Blanchot, Roger Caillois, Paul Celan, Jacques Derrida, Michel Leiris, Emmanuel Levinas, Pier Paolo Pasolini, and his translator, Rosmarie Waldrop. This book will be important reading for students of Jewish literature, French literature, and literature of the modern and postmodern ages. Born in Cairo in 1912, Edmond Jabes lived in France from 1956 until his death in 1991. His extensively translated and widely honored works include 'The Book of Questions and 'The Book of Shares. Both of these were translated into English by Rosmarie Waldrop, who is also a poet. Religion and Postmodernism series.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - What happens when women writers re-imagine culture How do feminists need that ur-text of patriarchy, the Bible Unwritten volume: Re-thinking teh Bible attempts to re-think certain customary assumptions about feminism and about the Bible, in the light of poetic 'readings' of biblical texts by 19th and 20th century women writers. The author proposes that women writers relate to the Bible in complex ways, which both critique biblical misogyny and stem directly from elements of transgressive writing within scripture iteself. Ultimately Ostriker suggests that feminist reinterpretations of scripture are the inevitable consequence of spiritual values which ask us to turn from institutions to the meaning of the original revelation.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Fisheries management must be based on biological expertise but must also, ultimately, satisfy economic criteria. Fisheries management which disregards economic objectives and needs might well succeed in preserving fish stocks but will waste other resources such as investment funds and labout and fail to serve the fishing industry effectively. This important new work is directed to fisheries management and is designed to help achieve an optimum balance between the biological and economic requirements of fisheries. An introduction to the economic analysis of fisheries compares optimal fishing to unregulated fishing. This is followed by a discussion of three popular fishing models and the problems arising from random fluctuations in fish stocks. The final chapter deals with the political economy of fishing regulations.…

This comprehensive sourcebook brings together a wealth of information on methods that can be used to safely size emergency relief systems for two-phase vapor-liquid flow for flashing or frozen, viscous or nonviscous fluids. Design methodologies are illustrated by selected sample problems. Written by industrial experts in the safety field, this book will be invaluable to those charged with operating, designing, or managing today's and tomorrow's chemical process industry facilities.…

Buch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Over the past three decades, luminescence spectroscopy has transcended its origins as a curiosity in the physical laboratory to become a widely used and respected staple of the analytical chemist's instrumentation arsenal. Fluorescence, chemiluminescence, and phosphorescence spectroscopies are now routinely applied to such real analytical problems as the quantitaion, qualitative identification, and structural characterization of organic and inorganic compounds and even of cellular structures. And the list of recent advances in analytical applications of luminescence spectroscopy keeps growing. The earlier volumes of Molecular Luminescence Spectroscopy provided professional chemists with a detailed, exhaustive, and up-to-date look at the applications of fluorescence, phosphorescence, and chemiluminescence spectra to the analysis of organic and inorganic compounds. Presenting topics never available in any analytical text, such as excited state optical activity and bioinorganic luminescence spectroscopy, the volumes represented a significant advance in the chemical literature. Part 3 continues the book's always current and practical examination of the field's newest innovative turns. In a clear, systematic format, Part 3 discusses such widespread or ascendant laboratory techniques as: - photochemically generated fluorophores - fluorescent probes - luminescence from bile salt aggregates - hole-burning spectroscopy - laser-excited microspectro-fluorometry - near-infrared luminescence spectroscopy Other topics such as the fluorescence and phosphorescence of pharmaceuticals and natural products have never been reviewed as exhaustively before. The chapters on fluorescence detection in chromatography and luminescence immunoassay are the most up-to-date treatments available on these subjects. Invaluable to analytical chemists, instructors, and students, Molecular Luminescence Spectroscopy, Part 3 offers expert guidance on the practical specifics of this multi-faceted technique as well as its farreaching analytical possibilities.…
