Описание: This publication describes a relatively small excavation (by CAM ARC, now Oxford Archaeology East), whose size belies its significance. Incredibly, this is the first properly documented archaeological excavation in the core of Wisbech - an historic town long suspected to have preserved interesting medieval deposits.

Описание: In At Penpoint Monica Popescu traces the development of African literature during the second half of the twentieth century to address the intertwined effects of the Cold War and decolonization on literary history. Popescu draws on archival materials from the Soviet-sponsored Afro-Asian Writers Association and the CIA-funded Congress for Cultural Freedom alongside considerations of canonical literary works by Ayi Kwei Armah, Ng?g? wa Thiong'o, Ousmane Sembène, Pepetela, Nadine Gordimer, and others. She outlines how the tensions between the United States and the Soviet Union played out in the aesthetic and political debates among African writers and intellectuals. These writers decolonized aesthetic canons even as superpowers attempted to shape African cultural production in ways that would advance their ideological and geopolitical goals. Placing African literature at the crossroads of postcolonial theory and studies of the Cold War, Popescu provides a new reassessment of African literature, aesthetics, and knowledge production.

Описание: In the late eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, legions of English citizens headed north. Why and how did Scotland, once avoided by travelers, become a popular site for English tourists? Katherine Haldane Grenier uses published and unpublished travel accounts, guidebooks, and the popular press to examine the evolution of a false view of Scotland as untouched by nineteenth-century transformations.

Описание: A little girl on her summer vacation at her grandparents' rides a bicycle with her friend, a cat named Philippe, to the neighboring forest, thus embarking on an unexpected adventure. On this adventure, she meets fabulous characters: Rusalia, Boygen, also called the Great Detour, DallE, none other than Salvador Dali --now transmogrified into a new existence on the planet Trafalmadore, and even Steve Howe, guitarist of the progressive rock band Yes, and also her neighbor, the dog Geppetto, who receives a mysterious resemblance to Howe. Juli, DallE, and Steve climb together into the Pleiades, on the planet of the ineffable--Corianthe (with its moon Astarhe), where they briefly learn about its forms of relief, about the Alexandrian Sea of Slightly Rosy Amethyst, about the Corianthians and their customs, about the connection between the inhabitants of the planet and children on Earth, and about picomers--the primary forms from which earthly desires are born. There, Juli makes a wish and finds out about the elephant ladder. Her adventure lasts a whole day--by chance, exactly the day of the summer solstice ...

Автор: Antonijo Popescu Название: Climate Management ISBN: 1681178591 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781681178592 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 271690.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: "The global climate is changing, and will continue to change, in ways that affect the planning and day to day operations of businesses, government agencies and other organizations. The manifestations of climate change include higher temperatures, altered rainfall patterns, and more frequent or intense extreme events such as heat waves, drought, and storms. The ability to manage climate risk is a measure of development. Proactive policymaking and planning means taking action now to prevent and/or reduce future anticipated impacts, and can include no regrets strategies such as technologies and practices for improved efficiency. However, an exclusive focus on no regrets strategies can lead to the false idea that there are no trade-offs. Better protection from, and resilience to, climate variability is a clear measure of development. Climate variability and extremes, such as floods, droughts and storms, severely affect livelihoods, economic performance and key assets. The impacts of such events can have a disproportionate effect on developing economies and people, and can be a major set-back to economic growth and development. This book Climate Management covers detailed discussions of climatic change dynamics in selected regions as well as new innovative ways of observing climate change, evaluating climate risks, and predicting impacts. It covers that information needs required to inform decision making for responsive, proactive and robust policymaking and planning are overlapping, particularly as all three rely on the identification of vulnerabilities, hazards and risk as foundations for identifying strategic decisions and alternatives. Those interested in refreshing the fundamentals of climate change and climate variability will find a very review of the status of knowledge on the subject, as well as a balanced interrogation of available evidence. This book is intended to be useful to researchers, practitioners, and policy makers."
Автор: Ioan-Iovitz Popescu, Mihaiela Lupea, Doina Tatar, Название: Quantitative Analysis of Poetic Texts ISBN: 3110336057 ISBN-13(EAN): 9783110336054 Издательство: Walter de Gruyter Цена: 128870.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: The book presents methods for the objective analysis of poetic language. Common objects of literary studies such as rhythm, semantic explications, interpretation and personal impressions are avoided. Only those properties of poetic texts are taken into account that could be quantified. The major chapters contain the analysis of phonic phenomena (frequency, euphony, assonance, alliteration, aggregation, rhyme), word properties (aspects of frequency, length, richness, word classes, sequences of word properties, characterisations). The synergetic control cycle is the result of the study of mutual links between properties. For all methods both statistical tests (evaluation, comparison), theoretical derivations (models), and examples are presented. The book is dedicated to the work of the famous Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu whose complete work was analysed, which made detailed illustrations of the method possible. The methods can be used mutatis mutandis for any language and text. It is the first comprehensive quantitative analysis of a poetic work.
