简介:A textbook for students who are not now nor even intend to be mathematical purists, but may want to use game theory in mathematical modelling in life, social, or management science. Mestert-Gibbons, who is not identified, assumes felicity with calculus, a rudimentary knowledge of matrix algebra and probability, a passing acquaintance with differential equations, and some degree of mathematical maturity. No date is mentioned for the first edition. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
简介:"Semicolonial Joyce brings together leading commentators on the Irish dimension of Joyce's writing, such as Vincent J. Cheng, Seamus Deane, Enda Duffy, Luke Gibbons, David Lloyd, and Emer Nolan, to present a range of voices rather than a single position on a topic which has had a major impact on Joyce criticism in recent years. Contributors explore Joyce's ambivalent and shifting response to Irish nationalism and reconsider his writing in the context of the history of Western colonialism. The chapters both draw on and question the achievements of postcolonial theory, and provide fresh insights into Joyce's resourceful engagement with political issues that remain highly topical today."--BOOK JACKET.

简介:This book introduces one of the most powerful tools of modern economics to a wide audience: those who will later construct or consume game-theoretic models. Robert Gibbons addresses scholars in applied fields within economics who want a serious and thorough discussion of game theory but who may have found other works overly abstract. Gibbons emphasizes the economic applications of the theory at least as much as the pure theory itself; formal arguments about abstract games play a minor role. The applications illustrate the process of model building--of translating an informal description of a multi-person decision situation into a formal game-theoretic problem to be analyzed. Also, the variety of applications shows that similar issues arise in different areas of economics, and that the same game-theoretic tools can be applied in each setting. In order to emphasize the broad potential scope of the theory, conventional applications from industrial organization have been largely replaced by applications from labor, macro, and other applied fields in economics. The book covers four classes of games, and four corresponding notions of equilibrium: static games of complete information and Nash equilibrium, dynamic games of complete information and subgame-perfect Nash equilibrium, static games of incomplete information and Bayesian Nash equilibrium, and dynamic games of incomplete information and perfect Bayesian equilibrium.
简介:Women of grace and gumption bloom in the pages of Kaye Gibbons's fiction: The title character of Ellen Foster, her debut novel, was dubbed by Walker Percy "a southern Holden Caulfield." A Virtuous Woman prompted Reynolds Price to write, "Kaye Gibbons shows us the secret core of a love that easily outlasts death." And in A Cure for Dreams, wrote Josephine Humphreys, Gibbons "reveals how men's ways require [the] courage of women." In this, her fourth novel in six years, she gives life to her most passionate and tough-minded women yet:. Charlie Kate, out of nineteenth-century rural North Carolina, a self-proclaimed doctor who treats everything - leprosy, malaria, even lovesick blues - with her roots and herbs, and advises the adolescent girls she "caught" at birth that "kissing's fine, nothing more than uptown shopping on downtown business." Sophia, her daughter, who has inherited her mother's singular wisdom and will, putting them in service to her desire to control the world around her and land the man of her choice. Margaret, the narrator, Charlie Kate's granddaughter, whose struggle toward adulthood is complicated by the home-front demands of World War II and whose longing to defy heredity leads her to the happy discovery that for her, too, passion is the natural and most blessed gift. Here, in Charms for the Easy Life, a timeless story of three generations of fiery women, Kaye Gibbons proves once again that, as Elizabeth Spencer has said, "she knows how to speak to our hearts."
简介:"In this groundbreaking study, Jonathan Greenberg locates a satiric sensibility at the heart of the modern. By promoting an antisentimental education, modernism denied the authority of emotion to guarantee moral and literary value. Instead, it fostered sophisticated, detached and apparently cruel attitudes toward pain and suffering. This sensibility challenged the novel鈥檚 humanistic tradition, set ethics and aesthetics into conflict and fundamentally altered the ways that we know and feel. Through lively and original readings of works by Evelyn Waugh, Stella Gibbons, Nathanael West, Djuna Barnes, Samuel Beckett and others, this book analyzes a body of literature - late modernist satire - that can appear by turns aloof, sadistic, hilarious, ironic and poignant, but which continually questions inherited modes of feeling. By recognizing the centrality of satire to modernist aesthetics, Greenberg offers not only a new chapter in the history of satire but a persuasive new idea of what made modernism modern"--

简介:When Alan Paul's wife was offered the job as the Wall Street Journal's China bureau chief, he saw it as an amazing opportunity to shake up their increasingly staid suburban New Jersey life. Excited and not a little scared, they packed up their three children鈥攁ges two, four, and seven鈥攁nd headed for adventure and uncertainty in Beijing, China. Based on his award-winning Wall Street Journal Online column, "The Expat Life," Big in China explores Paul's unlikely three-and-a-half-year journey of reinvention in this rapidly developing metropolis. He reveals the challenges that he and his family faced while living in a foreign land, including reaching beyond the expat community, coming to terms with his new role as a stay-at-home dad, and learning to navigate and thrive in an unfamiliar culture. By viewing an intimidating challenge as a golden opportunity rather than as a burden, he saw his world open up around him. At the heart of the memoir is his time fronting Woodie Alan, a blues band he formed with a Chinese partner. The cross-cultural collaboration became an unlikely success. The band embarked on a tour across China, earning the title "Best Band in Beijing" and recording an acclaimed CD of original music sung in both English and Mandarin, which prompted ZZ Top's Billy Gibbons to say, "This is the best Chinese blues band I ever heard. Who knew?" Woodie Alan was symbolic of Paul's entire China experience and proof of what transpires when one can suspend preconceived notions and plunge into a new reality. A testament to the transformative power of a life lived beyond comfortable borders, Big in China reminds us of the importance of always keeping our horizons wide and our thoughts ambitious.
简介:Summary: Publisher Summary 1 New edition of a text on thalassemias that summarizes the evidence suggesting that the clinical picture of this disorder may result from several different inherited defects of globin synthesis similar in type to the other inherited hemoglobinopathies. The 16 chapters reflect the vast amount of new information obtained about the genetic control of hemoglobin in general and the thalassaemias in particular, which are likely to pose an increasingly serious health problem in this century. Discussion includes historical background; biology, clinical features, and diagnosis and management of thalassaemia; and the future. Written and edited by D. J. Weatherall and J.B. Clegg (both of the molecular haematology unit, Institute of Molecular Medicine, U. of Oxford) with additional contributions by R. Gibbons, J.M. Old, Swee Lay Thein, and W.G. Wood (all associated with the U. of Oxford), and Nancy F. Oliveri (Hospital for Sick Children and the Toronto General Hospital). Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Publisher Summary 2 In the new edition of this successful and authoritative book, the thalassaemias are reviewed in detail with respect to their clinical features, cellular pathology, molecular genetics, prevention and treatment. It is aimed at specialists in haematology in the laboratory or clinical setting, particularly in areas where thalassaemia is common either in the native population or in immigrant communities. The fourth edition has been both updated and re-organized. Three new chapters have been added on the link between alpha-thalassaemia and mental retardation, on avoidance and population control and on global epidemiology. Considerable emphasis is placed on molecular pathology reflecting the huge burst of information to have come out of this field in the last few years.
作者: (以)戴维·科雷萨默(David Greilsammer)钢琴演奏
简介:《戴维?科雷萨默:穿越时空巴洛克》2011年,钢琴家兼指挥家戴维?科雷萨默与SONY 签下专属艺人长约,并且筹划发行最新个人钢琴独奏专辑《穿越时空巴洛克》。这位被公认相当具有创意与挑战精神的音乐家,不管是公开演出或录音,都喜欢将现代音乐穿插安排在古典乐曲之间,成为他最吸引观众的特色之一。上个乐季在伦敦举办的音乐会,科雷萨默便将史卡拉第与约翰?凯吉的奏鸣曲作品摆在一起。在新专辑《穿越时空巴洛克》中也尝试同样的手法,将亨德尔组曲、当代作曲家波拉特的作品、巴洛克时期的拉莫、美国当代作曲家费尔德曼交错安排,呈现出一种超越时空的独特趣味,大胆却非常具有想象力。 科雷萨默1977年出生于耶路撒冷,毕业于纽约朱丽亚音乐学院的科雷萨默,同时也是莫扎特专家,除了曾在世界各地以身兼指挥与独奏方式演出莫扎特的钢琴协奏曲之外,还曾经在巴黎与韦尔比亚音乐节,用一天的时间,马拉松式弹完全套莫扎特的钢琴奏鸣曲。2009年起,科雷萨默接掌日内瓦室内管弦乐团的音乐总监,近期曾受邀与巴黎的新兴艺术中心,并合作一系列结合舞蹈、剧场、影像与音乐的表演活动。 《穿越时空巴洛克》的策划灵感来自数年之前,科雷萨默在心里酝酿的一些想法:为什么两个不同的音乐世界里无法彼此对话?他想找到一扇门,打开它就能找到他从小时候就一直追寻的梦想。不管是巴洛克时期的音乐或是现代音乐,都是它们那个时代当下的产物。“音乐”造就穿越时空对话的可能性,这样的过程,巴洛克音乐与现代音乐都确切地存在。科雷萨默将专辑中的曲目约略分成四个章节,从形式上交互安排着两个不同时期的作品。用心倾听,音乐的对话,即将穿越时空,在交会时产生的微光,会发现原来在过程中,彼此都安然存在。 胆大心细的钢琴家!——纽约时报 清新脱俗,不凡的灵感!——每日电讯报 I. 1 Rameau(1683-1764) Gavotte et six doubles 让?菲利普?拉莫:加沃特舞曲 2 Feldman(1926-1987) Piano Piece 费尔德曼:钢琴小品 3 Soler(1729-1783)Sonata No. 84 in D major 索勒:D大调第84号钢琴奏鸣曲 II. 4 Couperin(1668-1733)Les Barricades mystérieuses 弗朗索瓦?库普兰:神秘的路障 5 Porat(b.1982)WHAAM! 波拉特:哇! 6-9 Handel(1685-1759)Suite in D Minor HWV 447 亨德尔:D小调钢琴组曲 作品447 III. 10 Froberger(1616-1667)Tombeau de Monsieur Blancrocher 约翰?雅各布?弗罗贝格尔:布朗奇罗齐先生的坟墓 11 Sahar(b.1978)Aux Murailles Rougies 萨哈尔:墙壁变红色 12 Gibbons(1583-1625)Lord Salisbury's Pavan and Galliard 奥兰多?吉本斯:索尔兹伯里君主的帕凡舞曲和加亚尔德舞曲 IV. 13 Frescobaldi(1583-1643)Toccata di durezze e ligature 吉罗拉莫?富雷斯可巴第:托卡塔 14 Lachenmann(b.1935)Wiegenmusik 拉亨曼:称重音乐 15 Sweelinck(1562-1621)Mein junges Leben hat ein End 斯韦林克:我年轻的生命已经结束了

简介:Edited by two internationally renowned primatologists, this new text synthesizes current research on the primates of Indonesia, which include apes, monkeys, and prosimians. It is published at a crucial time as anxiety over the fate of the Indonesian primate population is rising. One study concluded that more than 70% of Asian primate species are threatened with extinction, while 84% of the dozens of Indonesian primate species are threatened. In this volume, the common thread of diversity is inextricably linked to the theme of conservation. Contributed by key researchers from around the world, the volume鈥檚 chapters demonstrate the sheer variety in Indonesian primates, ranging from Nekaris and Munds鈥?study of using slow loris facial variation to distinguish species to Delgado鈥檚 discussion of communication patterns among orangutans. The book鈥檚 first section contains chapters on the endangered orangutans and gibbons. The orangutan, in its Sumatran and Bornean forms, is the only Asian great ape; yet in Borneo, Sugardito and Adhikerana nest densities are severely threatened by logging activity, especially at national park boundaries. The authors highlight the effectiveness of community-based patrolling as a protective measure is becoming an increasingly effective means of protecting orangutans. The second section of the text examines the diversity of monkeys in Indonesia, with each author in turn stressing the importance of conservation. Yorzinski uses the critically endangered pig-tailed langur of the Indonesian Mentawai Islands to demonstrate how isolated island primates react to predation pressure, while further chapters explore the relationship between vegetation and primate densities, habitat quality and its degradation, and human--simian interaction. A further section looks at the region鈥檚 prosimians and notes that the taxonomic diversity is only recently being explored. The cryptic/nocturnal nature of these primates makes their conservation status even more uncertain. Sharon Gursky-Doyen is an associate professor of anthropology at Texas A&M University. She received her BA from Hartwick College, her MS from the University of New Mexico, and her Ph.D. from the State University of New York at Stony Brook. She has been studying Sulawesi tarsiers since 1994. Her present research is centered on understanding the effects of altitude on the recently re-discovered pygmy tarsiers. She is the author of numerous scientific publications including The Spectral Tarsier, (Prentice Hall 2007); Primate Anti-Predator Strategies (coedited with Anna Nekaris, Springer 2007) as well as Tarsiers: Past, Present and Future (co-edited with Patricia Wright and Elwyn Simons, Rutgers University Press, 2003). Jatna Supriatna received his B.S. in Biology from Universitas Nasional, Jakarta, and his M.S. and Ph.D. from the University of New Mexico. He has worked for Conservation International since 1994 and has served as the Vice President for Conservation International Indonesia Program since 2005. In 1999, he received the Golden Ark Award for his conservation work from Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands. In 2009, he received a Science Award also known as the Habibie Award from former Indonesian President B.J. Habibie. He has published 8 books on Indonesian Biodiversity and more than 90 articles in international journals. His books include: Panduan Lapangan Primata Indonesia (Field Guide of Indonesia Primates), Conservation Biology and Saving Indonesia's Nature. The latter two books are among the best-selling environment books in Indonesia.
简介:Since the turn of the millennium, there has seen an increase in the inclusion of typography, graphics and illustration in fiction. This book engages with visual and multimodal devices in twenty-first century literature, exploring canonical authors like Mark Z. Danielewski and Jonathan Safran Foer alongside experimental fringe writers such as Ste... more 籿e Tomasula, to uncover an embodied textual aesthetics in the information age. Bringing together multimodality and cognition in an innovative study of how readers engage with challenging literature, this book makes a significant contribution to the debates surrounding multimodal design and multimodal reading. Drawing on cognitive linguistics, cognitive psychology, neuroscience, semiotics, visual perception, visual communication, and multimodal analysis, Gibbons provides a sophisticated set of critical tools for analysing the cognitive impact of multimodal literature. ?less
