Описание: The book attempts to cover the misunderstanding of the female characters in Edward Bond`s plays.

Автор: Quirk Joe Название: Seasteading: How Ocean Cities Will Change the World ISBN: 1451699263 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781451699265 Издательство: Simon & Schuster Цена: 20690.00 T Наличие на складе: Нет в наличии. Описание: Two-thirds of our globe is Planet Ocean, not Planet Earth.
Imagine a vast new source of sustainable and renewable energy that would also bring more equitable economies. A previously untapped source of farming that could produce significant new sources of nutrition. Future societies where people could choose the communities they want to live in, free from the restrictions of conventional citizenship.
This bold vision of our near future as imagined in Seasteading attracted the powerful support of Silicon Valley's Peter Thieland it may be drawing close to reality.
Our planet is suffering from serious environmental problems: coastal flooding due to severe storms caused in part by atmospheric pollution and diminishing natural resources among them. But the seas can be home to a new breed of pioneers, seasteaders, who are willing to homestead the Blue Frontier. Oil platforms and cruise ships already inhabit the waters; now it's time to take the next step to full-fledged ocean civilizations.
Joe Quirk and Patri Friedman show us how cities built on floating platforms in the ocean will work, and they profile some of the visionaries who are implementing basic concepts of seasteading today. An entrepreneur's dream, these floating cities will become laboratories for innovation and creativity. Seasteading may be visionary, but it already has begun proving the adage that yesterday's science fiction is tomorrow's science fact.
Welcome to seavilization.

Описание: El repertorio de los personajes de Pereda es el primer censo comprensivo de los personajes del ilustre escritor espanol del siglo XIX Jose Maria de Pereda (1833-1906). Sus doce novelas, cinco colecciones de cuentos, articulos periodisticos y otros escritos contienen un diverso panorama de mas de 1400 personajes con nombre propio.

Un estudio preliminar examina las varias tecnicas caracterizadoras de Pereda dentro del contexto de las practicas estilisticas de su epoca. El repertorio de los personajes de Pereda llena un vacio y suministra un valioso libro de consulta para el analisis de las obras peredianas. Los investigadores de los contemporaneos de Pereda, Benito Perez Galdos y Emilia Pardo Bazan, ya tenian tal recurso, y ahora los investigadores de Pereda lo tienen tambien. Este libro interesara a los estudiosos de la novela realista y de la literatura espanola decimononica en general.

Human mobility has long played a foundational role in producing state territories, resources, and hierarchies. When people move within and across national boundaries, they create both challenges and opportunities. In Mobility Makes States, chapters written by historians, political scientists, sociologists, and anthropologists explore different patterns of mobility in sub-Saharan Africa and how African states have sought to harness these movements toward their own ends. While border control and intercontinental migration policies remain important topics of study, Mobility Makes States demonstrates that immigration control is best understood alongside parallel efforts by states in Africa to promote both long-distance and everyday movements. The contributors challenge the image of a fixed and static state that is concerned only with stopping foreign migrants at its border, and show that the politics of mobility takes place across a wide range of locations, including colonial hinterlands, workplaces, camps, foreign countries, and city streets. They examine short-term and circular migrations, everyday commuting and urban expansion, forced migrations, emigrations, diasporic communities, and the mobility of gatekeepers and officers of the state who push and pull migrant populations in different directions. Through the experiences and trajectories of migration in sub-Saharan Africa, this empirically rich volume sheds new light on larger global patterns and state making processes.
