    Printing History and Cultural Change (eBook, ePUB)
    This study provides one of the most detailed and comprehensive examinations ever devoted to a critical transformation in the material substance of the printed page; it carries out this exploration in the history of the book, moreover, by embedding these typographical changes in the context of other cultural phenomena in eighteenth-century Britain. The gradual abandonment of pervasive capitalization, italics, and caps and small caps in books printed in London, Dublin, and the American colonies between 1740 and 1780 is mapped in five-year increments which reveal that the appearance of the modern page in English began to emerge around 1765. This descriptive and analytical account focuses on poetry, classical texts, Shakespeare, contemporary plays, the novel, the Bible, the Book of Common Prayer, sermons and religious writings, newspapers, magazines, anthologies, government publications, and private correspondence; it also examines the reading public, canon formation, editorial theory and practice, and the role of typography in textual interpretation. These changes in printing conventions are then compared to other aspects of cultural change: the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in 1752, the publication of Johnson's Dictionary in 1755, the transformation of shop signs and the imposition of house numbers in London beginning in 1762, and the evolution of the English language and of English prose style. This study concludes that this fundamental shift in printing conventions was closely tied to a pervasive interest in refinement, regularity, and standardization in the second half of the century-and that it was therefore an important component in the self-conscious process of modernizing British culture.

    The Law and Regulation of Airspace Liberalisation in Brazil (eBook, ePUB)
    The book starts from the premise that the current aviation framework, in Brazil, cannot sustain a full liberalisation in the long run. While the competition rules in place offer a strong framework, which only requires small modifications, these rules are not "enough" to foster a "healthy" liberalisation. In fact, until recently, Brazilian airlines were operating in a homogenous market, where competition was artificial. This artificial competition, obtained through the imposition of a legal obligation to provide water and a snack and grant a 23kg bag allowance, has resulted in a highly concentrated domestic market with very few players. Compared to other same size markets, such as China or India, Brazil is far behind in terms of airlines operating at national level. Consequently, the opening of the domestic market must be closely regulated to avoid national carriers suffocating under external pressure. For this reason, state intervention during the liberalisation process is crucial. State intervention is also with regard to the protection of passengers. The other major problem is the protection framework for passengers which is much too uncertain and burdensome. In a sense, it is detrimental to the domestic market and passengers. Indeed, there is no harmonisation of passenger compensation leading to contradictory judgments and possible high moral damages which hinders legal certainty for airlines. Compared to the situation in the EU, in Brazil, airlines have a limited range of defences, which are often dismissed by courts. This book, therefore, critically analyses the policies and regulations in place by mainly comparing the Brazilian framework to the European one. This choice has been motivated by the fact that European liberalisation is considered the best so far, and as Brazil is starting this process much later, it could benefit from the European experience. This book will be of particular interest to scholars and practitioners interested in the Brazilian system.

    Arthur Grace: Communism(s): A Cold War Album
    The Cold War is just a distant memory for many, and practically a blank slate for anyone born after 1980. For most people in the West, the realities of life behind the Iron Curtain have faded into caricatures of police state repression and bread lines. With the world seemingly again divided between democracies and authoritarian regimes, it is essential that we understand the reality of life in the Soviet Bloc. Photojournalist Arthur Grace was uniquely placed to provide that context.During the 1970's and 1980's, Grace traveled extensively behind the Iron Curtain working primarily for news magazines. One of only a small corps of Western photographers with ongoing access to the area, he was able to take the time to delve into the most ordinary corners of people's daily lives while also covering significant events which unfolded while on assignment. Many of the photographs in this remarkable book are effectively psychological portraits that leave the viewer with a sense of the gamut of emotions in that era.Mr. Grace's extensive photographic archive of this highly charged period is the basis for his new book, COMMUNISM(S): A COLD WAR ALBUM. Illustrated with over one hundred and twenty black and white images - nearly all previously unpublished, COMMUNISM(S) gives an unprecedented glimpse behind the veil of a not-so-distant time filled with harsh realities unseen by nearly all but those that lived through it.Shot in the USSR, Poland, Romania, Yugoslavia, and the German Democratic Republic, Mr. Grace's images reveal an ongoing cat and mouse struggle between State sponsored forces seeking obedience by regimenting mind and body, and their every-day citizens seeking connection to universal humanity in small moments. Here are portraits of factory workers, farmers, churchgoers, vacationers, and loitering teens juxtaposed with the GDR's imposing Social-Realist-designed apartment blocks, propagandistic annual May Day Parades, Poland's Solidarity movement and the subsequent imposition of martial law, and the vastness of Moscow's Red Square contrasted with ever-present public propaganda, communal mineral water vending machines, and endless lines of citizens hoping for an opportunity to buy a cut of meat, or basically anything still in stock at the butcher shop. COMMUNISM(S) thought-provoking photographs expand and enlighten our view of the history of this period while serving as a graphic reminder of an era we seem destined to repeat.

This book is about where the time really goes, and how we can all use it better..... Elizabeth London Gildan Media, LLC 2010-06-15 15:39:11 468 B004V2NCT4 English - Self-Development English 1.00 9.95 N http://img.audible.de/audiblewords/content/bk/gdan/000408de/lg_image.jpg http://samples.audible.de/bk/gdan/000408/bk_gdan_000408_sample.mp3 There are 168 hours in a week. This book is about where the time really goes, and how we can all use it better. It's an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. With the rise of two-income families, extreme jobs, and 24/7 connectivity, life is so frenzied we can barely find time to breathe. We tell ourselves we'd like to read more, get to the gym regularly, try new hobbies, and accomplish all kinds of goals. But then we give up because there just aren't enough hours to do it all. Or else, if we don't make excuses, we make sacrifices. To get ahead at work we spend less time with our spouses. To carve out more family time, we put off getting in shape. To train for a marathon, we cut back on sleep. There has to be a better way - and Laura Vanderkam has found one. After interviewing dozens of successful, happy people, she realized that they allocate their time differently than most of us. Instead of letting the daily grind crowd out the important stuff, they start by making sure there's time for the important stuff. They focus on what they do best and what only they can do. When plans go wrong and they run out of time, only their lesser priorities suffer. It's not always easy, but the payoff is enormous. Vanderkam shows that it really is possible to sleep eight hours a night, exercise five days a week, take piano lessons, and write a novel without giving up quality time for work, family, and other things that really matter. The key is to start with a blank slate and to fill up your 168 hours only with things that deserve your time. Of course, you probably won't read to your children at 2:00 am, or skip a Wednesday morning meeting to go hiking, but you can cut back on how much you watch TV, do laundry, or spend time on other less fulfilling activities. Vanderkam shares creative ways to rearrange your schedule to make room for the things that matter most. 9781596595934 N N ©2010 Laura Vanderkam;(P)2010 Gildan Media Corp http://www.audible.de/pd/B004V2NCT4?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true http://www.audible.de/pd/B004V2NCT4?source_code=PNHFA145032019009G&ipRedirectOverride=true Angels, Vampires and Douche Bags (Unabridged) 17.95 AVAILABLE Angels, Vampires and Douche Bags (Unabridged) Angels, Vampires and Douche Bags (Unabridged) Carla Collins Angels, Vampires and Douche Bags is original, edgy, uplifting and laugh-out-loud funny.....

Attract more angels into your life, control your vampires, and keep all the douche bags at bay.

In order to set the economy on a sounder path, we need to understand the sources of instability that caused the failure of the financial system, rethink established ideas, and challenge the intellectual and moral authority of the institutions that control the world's capital. Written by respected portfolio manager and longtime investment professional Michael Lewitt, The Death of Capital looks at how, in recent years, the U.S. economy has increasingly been dominated by short-term speculation rather than productive investment, debt rather than equity, and short-term thinking rather than long-term planning. These disastrous trends, described here as financialization," ignore the fact that capital is a highly unstable social process rather than a fixed, historical object or category. This timely audiobook: Explores the most important aspects of capital and capitalism through the prism of four of the world's great economic thinkers Addresses "financialization" and its consequences, such as a weaker U.S. dollar, the decline of American industries, and the loss of American economic and political hegemony Examines how the legal system contributed to economic deterioration by privileging short-term profitability above other important societal interests such as labor, the environment, and social welfare Calls for politically controversial reforms such Asks for stricter regulation of hedge funds and private equity firms, banning naked credit default swaps and off-balance sheet financing vehicles, imposition of a Tax on Speculation, and principles-based reforms to improve systemic stability And much more ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Victoria Velenosi. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/gdan/000401/bk_gdan_000401_sample.mp3. Digital audiobook in aax.
