Описание: The touch and movement senses have a large place in the modern arts. This is widely discussed and celebrated, often enough as if it represents a breakthrough in a primarily visual age. This book turns to history to show just how significant movement and the sense of movement were to pioneers of modernism at the turn of the 20th century. It makes this history vivid through a picture of movement in the lives of an extraordinary generation of Russian artists, writers, theatre people and dancers bridging the last years of the tsars and the Revolution. Readers will gain a new perspective on the relation between art and life in the period 1890-1920 in great innovators like the poets Mayakovsky and Andrei Bely, the theatre director Meyerhold, the dancer Isadora Duncan and the young men and women in Russia inspired by her lead, and esoteric figures like Gurdjieff. Movement, and the turn to the body as a source of natural knowledge, was at the centre of idealistic creativity and hopes for a new age, for a ‘new man’, and this was true both for those who looked forward to the technology of the future and those who looked back to the harmony of Ancient Greece. The book weaves history and analysis into a colourful, thoughtful affirmation of movement in the expressive life.
From author and former scientist Roger B. Smith, this is the first of Seven Books in a Series about youth adventures, discovery, antics between friends, and unfortunately PERIL
Xavier Winfield is a precious 11 year old in a time past where life was simple, entertainment was often found outside the house, and adventure was a lived experience. With his one year younger best friend Oggie (pronounced AWE-gee), they discover life together in the most unusual and extravagant ways, often not by their own choosing but a result of the places they locate themselves because of their shared adventurous nature.
By Episode Three, a new youth joins the team for the remainder of the series who becomes a contest for the intellect senior of the adventure duo, turned trio. Will Xavier and Oggie be able to remain best friends? Will their relationship overcome the strain and emotion, of this new element? Learn with them in each successive episode how jealousy, pride, loyalty, and discouragement, can impact our relationships and how each can be overcome through ones own choices.
The books are written for Young Adult and Adult audiences alike, with an emphasis upon learning lessons in life without having to run the yardage and without getting severely injured along the way. Each episode has a lesson to be learned plus many things in life that have to be dealt with along the way, and also how to deal with them. Friendships and relationships can be a challenge, but more challenging is how to nurture and grow them.
Each episode has geological, industrial, or scientific, fact or phenomenon, that is weaved into the escapade, in such a way that the presentation is interesting while also learning something of interest. A glossary is provided in the back of the book for italicized words throughout the text so that the reader can look up advanced or special genre meanings.
OF SPECIAL INTEREST - Every book is written for general audience without expletives or immoral content.
Come join the boys as they grow up with each successive episode and take you on the ride of your life

Описание: Invest With As Little As $100, which I also call "Clarence", has been written for the person who wants to invest their hard earned money, but do not know how the various investment vehicles work. Throughout the years, people have been relying on "investment professionals" such as stockbrokers and financial planners to tell them how to invest their money. However, most of those professionals know as much about how investments work as a Kentucky Derby jockey knows about piloting the space shuttle. They are mere sales people who happened to pass a test about securities rules and regulations (not strategy) with a score of at least 70%. Clarence is designed to empower the reader by describing all of the major ways in which the average person can invest. It does not focus on investment strategy. Instead, the book uses very simple language to explain what most people believe to be very complex topics that can only be understood by financial professionals. Clarence has been crafted in a way that allows the reader to go directly to a section of interest without having to read the previous sections. (Of course, the reader will probably find Clarence to be so stimulating that they will want to read every page, but they don't have to do so.)

Varietals of Capitalism shows that politics is an omnipresent part of the economics of wine and of economic activity in general. Based on a four-year research project encompassing fieldwork in France, Spain, Italy, and Romania, Xabier It?aina, Antoine Roger, and Andy Smith examine the causes and effects of a radical reform adopted at the EU level in 2008. Regulatory change politically transformed the rationale of EU support to the wine industry, from shaping the supply side to encouraging producers to adapt to the demands of a supposedly "new consumer."To explain the adoption and impact of the reform, the authors develop an analytical framework to capture the actors—their perceptions, preferences, and interdependencies—within an industry crisscrossed by institutions located at the global, European, national, and local scales. This framework combines concepts and lessons from historical institutionalism and regulationist economics, Bourdieu's field theory, and the sociology of public policymaking. The authors reject accounts that attribute policy change simply to material determinants and "the invisible hand of the market." They emphasize the crucial importance of institutions within sectors of the economy, and propose ways to bolster constructivist approaches to political economy by linking industrial change to scientific and bureaucratic balances of power. This book’s novel focus on different levels of institutional impact should prove influential in the study of the politics of industry, and more broadly within the comparative analysis of capitalism.
