Recording History: The British Record Industry, 1888 1931, Peter Martland , 2012, 0810882531, 9780810882539. In
Recording History, Peter Martland uses a range of archival sources to trace the genesis and early development of the
British record industry from1888 to 1931. A work of economic and cultural history that draws on a vast range of quantitative data, it surveys the commercial and business activities of the British record industry like no other work of recording history has before. Martlands study charts the successes and failures of this industry and its impact on domestic entertainment. Showcasing its many colorful pioneers from both sides of the Atlantic, Recording History is first and foremost an account of The Gramophone Company Ltd, a precursor to todays recording giant EMI, and then the most important British record company active from the late 19th century until the end of the second decade of the twentieth century. Martlands history spans the years from the original inventors through industrial and market formation and final take-offincluding the riveting battle in recording formats. Special attention is given to the impact of the First
World War and the that followed in its wake. Scholars of recording history will find in Martlands study the story of the development of the recording studio, of the artists who made the first records (from which some like Italian opera tenor
Enrico Caruso earned a fortune), and the change records wrought in the relationship between performer and audience, transforming the reception and appreciation of musical culture. Filling a much-needed gap in scholarship, Recording
History documents the beginnings of the end of the contemporary international record industry.

Rothko, a memoir of a year spent in the mountains living and working in a license plate shed, is a dramatized account of a lived experience. The nine-chapter narrative also contains a polemic about regional painting's relevance in a world in which the United S[t]ates might be a regional, rather than international, power, and in an artworld in which established methods of critical art--predicated on negation, subversion, parody and deconstruction--seem increasingly ineffective.
Instead, it proposes a kind of creative critique based on invention and synthesis, the privileged form of which is fiction. In
Rothko's own words: Regionalism is not a style, but a mode of and model for making. It not so much suspends the viewer's disbelief as it enables an artist to suspend his selfconsciousness. The respite from criticality opens a fictive space where a conceptual artist can be a painter, a painter a writer, an art dealer a publisher. Regionalism is the protective shell that allows us to be real artists again"--Artist's Web site.

Dead Sure - The Pragmatic Exercise of Religious and Spiritual Freedom, Steve Blake , 2012, 0983427143,
9780983427148. Dead Sure is about the impulses of our psychology that lead us to adopt religion and spirituality. It is about why for some people religion and spirituality lead to happiness and inner peace while for others it saps their energy and resources while separating them from others and causing divisions, hatred and violence. Dead Sure is about making peace between our mind and our heart. It is about the obvious reasons why 92% still believe in a higher power yet only 20% still go to church regularly. Its about the seismic shifts that have been occurring over recent decades in how people relate to higher power and how that shift is causing more people to describe themselves as spiritual but not religious. It is about how many are now communing with higher power alone rather than in church and about why new, innovative churches will probably form soon to fill that void. Dead Sure is about how certainty and arrogance about ones faith coupled with pleasing your group starts holy war. It is about the business of selling you back your higher power and how to better negotiate that deal. It is about when abstract thought first developed in humans and how that introduced fears that arise solely from abstract thoughts, and how we then developed other abstract thoughts to counter those fears, and religions for managing that. Its about how religion and spirituality have been helping us manage abstract thought now for thousands of years and how medicine and science have just recently joined that effort. The view in Dead
Sure is that a higher power unfolds life but why and how higher power does that cannot be described or contained with abstract descriptions. Yet 92% of us believe in a higher power and do describe it with abstractions, and how we describe and hold our faith has a big affect on our lives and on our society. Thus Dead Sure is about pragmatic ways of describing and holding the indescribable mystery of faith in ways that best serve us and our societies.

Jonah: Meeting the God of the Second Chance, O. S. Hawkins , 1990, 0872133230, 9780872133235. Jonah is not only one of the most popular books in the Bible; it is also one of the most controversial. Its historical validity is questioned by skeptics and scholars alike. But Jonah is the actual account of a man who rebelled and was swallowed by a great fish.
The book of Jonah More ... is not just about a fish-it is the story about someone like you and me. It is the story of
Jonah's struggles, calling, disobedience, problems, and prayer life. It is the story of his encounter with God and of God's gracious dealings with him. It is the story of a man, and of an entire city, that got a second chance.

Only Yesterday: Collected Pieces on the Jews of Toronto, Benjamin Kayfetz, Stephen A. Speisman , 2013, 0991900901,
9780991900909. Toronto's old Jewish neighbourhoods centered in the Ward and on Spadina Avenue are vividly recalled in these 18 evocative pieces by Ben Kayfetz and Stephen Speisman, both well-known chroniclers of Toronto's Jewish community. ONLY YESTERDAY features colourful stories of the Jewish community and its daily concerns, synagogues and social institutions, Yiddish theatres and newspapers, and an assortment of memorable characters from Mayor Nathan
Phillips to anarchist Emma Goldman. Kayfetz is at his best as he explains the names of Toronto synagogues, reminisces about the city's once-formidable Jewish press, and profiles the legendary J. B. Salsberg; he also revisits the days when discrimination against minorities in everything from private clubs to the professions was both legal and socially acceptable. Speisman's articles include a masterful essay on the vanished downtown neighbourhood of St. John's Ward, a thumbnail history of the once-vibrant local Yiddish theatre, and a profile of Benjamin Brown, Toronto's first Jewish architect who designed many city landmarks. The text is enhanced with 144 photographs and illustrations, including dozens of photographs of former Toronto synagogues, many taken by Speisman and not published before. Additional photos came from the City of Toronto Archives, Ontario Jewish Archives, Archives of Ontario and private collections.

Canadian Hockey Literature, Jason Blake , 2010, 1442698500, 9781442698505. Hockey occupies a prominent place in the Canadian cultural lexicon, as evidenced by the wealth of hockey-centred stories and novels published within Canada.
In this exciting new work, Jason Blake takes readers on a thematic journey through Canadian hockey literature, examining five common themes - nationhood, the hockey dream, violence, national identity, and family - as they appear in hockey fiction.Blake examines the work of such authors as Mordecai Richler, David Adams Richards, Paul Quarrington, and Richard B. Wright, arguing that a study of contemporary hockey fiction exposes a troubled relationship with the national sport. Rather than the storybook happy ending common in sports literature of previous generations, Blake finds that today's fiction portrays hockey as an often-glorified sport that in fact leads to broken lives and ironic outlooks. The first book to focus exclusively on hockey in print, Canadian Hockey Literature is an accessible work that challenges popular perceptions of a much-beloved national pastime.

Carlo, and important topics including free-energy calculations, linear-response theory, harmonic baths and the generalized Langevin equation, critical phenomena, and advanced conformational sampling methods. Burgeoning users and developers are thus provided firm grounding to become active participants in this exciting and rapidly advancing research area, while experienced practitioners will find the book to be a useful reference tool for the field. -
No One Was Turned Away : The Role of Public Hospitals in New York City since 1900: The Role of Public Hospitals in New
York City since 1900, Department of Urban Studies at Vassar College Sandra Opdycke Adjunct Visiting Professor , 1999,
0195349814, 9780195349818. No One Was Turned Away is a book about the importance of public hospitals to New York
City. At a time when less and less value seems to be placed on public institutions, argues author Sandra Opdycke, it is both useful and prudent to consider what this particular set of public institutions has meant to this particular city over the last hundred years, and to ponder what its loss might mean as well. Opdycke suggests that if these public hospitals close or convert to private management--as is currently being discussed--then a vital element of the civic life of New York City will be irretrievably lost. The story is told primarily through the history of Bellevue Hospital, the largest public hospital in the city and the oldest in the nation. Following Bellevue through the twentieth century, Opdycke meticulously charts the fluctuating fortunes of the city's public hospital system. Readers will learn how medical technology, urban politics, changing immigration patterns, economic booms and busts, labor unions, health insurance, Medicaid, and managed care have interacted to shape both the social and professional environments of New York's public hospitals. Having entered the twentieth century with high hopes for a grand expansion, Bellevue now faces financial and political pressures so acute that its very future is in doubt. In order to give context to the Bellevue experience, Opdycke also tracks the history of a private facility over the same century: New York Hospital. By noting the points at which the paths of these two mighty institutions have overlapped--as well as the ways in which they have diverged--this book clearly and persuasively highlights the significance of public hospitals to the city. No One Was Turned Away shows that private facilities like New
York Hospital have generally provided superb care for their patients, but that in every era they have also excluded certain groups. This exclusion has occurred for various reasons, such as patients' diagnoses, their social characteristics, behavior, or financial status--or simply because of a lack of unoccupied beds. Fortunately, however, year in and year out, Bellevue and its fellow public facilities have acted as the city's medical safety net. Opdycke's book maintains that public hospitals will be as essential in the future as they have been in the past. This is a thoughtful and well-written study that will appeal to anyone interested in the history of medicine, public policy, urban affairs, or the City of New York.

Courage: The Joy of Living Dangerously, Osho , 2011, 1429991992, 9781429991995. Courage is not the absence of fear, says Osho. It is, rather, the total presence of fear, with the courage to face it. This book provides a bird's-eye view of the whole terrain--where fears originate, how to understand them, and how to find the courage to face them. In the process,
Osho proposes that whenever we are faced with uncertainty and change in our lives, it is actually a cause for celebration.
Instead of trying to hang on to the familiar and the known, we can learn to enjoy these situations as opportunities for adventure and for deepening our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.The book begins with an in-depth exploration of the meaning of courage and how it is expressed in the everyday life of the individual. Unlike books that focus on heroic acts of courage in exceptional circumstances, the focus here is on developing the inner courage that enables us to lead authentic and fulfilling lives on a day-to-day basis. This is the courage to change when change is needed, the courage to stand up for our own truth, even against the opinions of others, and the courage to embrace the unknown in spite of our fears-in our relationships, in our careers, or in the ongoing journey of understanding who we are and why we are here.Courage also features a number of meditation techniques specifically designed by Osho to help people deal with their fears.
Before I Get Old: The Story of the Who, Dave Marsh , 2003, 0859650839, 9780859650830. Before I Get Old is one of the best books ever written about rocknroll, discarding much of the mythology that often surrounds a lesser informed appraisal of the Who. It tells the story of six personalities songwriter and guitarist Pete Townshend, bassist John
Entwistle, drummer Keith Moon and singer Roger Daltrey, plus their original managers Kit Lambert and Chris Stamp. Here are the bands origins within the steamy nightlife of London, their meteoric rise to fame, the laughter and the pathos, the craziness of the world they inhabited, the drugs, the destruction, the vandalism, the debts and, of course, the music. In short, every element that makes up the fascinating, shocking and hilarious story of the Who. Before I Get Old is essential reading, an exhaustive study of an exhausting band who always lived up to their legend.

Nation Making: Emergent Identities in Postcolonial Melanesia, Robert John Foster , 1997, 0472084275, 9780472084272.
In this theoretically sophisticated volume, contributors examine the process of nation making in Fiji, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu- states that attained formal political independence between 1970 and 1980. The remarkable cultural diversity within these states demands close ethnographic study of different groups and their contesting definitions of nationhood and leads to highly original approaches. The essays explore the political conditions and cultural assumptions that inform how Melanesians variously imagine a national community. The authors interpret a wide range of materials, from political speeches and official ceremonies of state to newspaper advertisements and life crisis rites. They demonstrate both how the legacies of divisive colonial rule, the weakness of the postcolonial state, and the exigencies of capitalist markets undermine the processes of nation making in contemporary Melanesia and how new forms of popular and consumer culture potentially shape an emergent national consciousness. Comparative and historical in its orientation, this book will appeal to readers not only in anthropology but in political science, social history, and cultural studies. It will be of special value to those interested in comparative politics and history, Pacific studies, ethnicity and nationalism, and colonial and postcolonial studies. Robert J. Foster is Assistant Professor of Anthropology, University of Rochester.
Fred Hoyle's Universe, Jane Gregory , 2005, 0191578460, 9780191578465. Fred Hoyle was one of the most widely acclaimed and colourful scientists of the twentieth century, a down-to-earth Yorkshireman who combined a brilliant scientific mind with a relish for communication and controversy. Best known for his steady-state theory of cosmology, he described a universe with both an infinite past and an infinite future. He coined the phrase 'big bang' to describe the main competing theory, and sustained a long-running, sometimes ill-tempered, and typically public debate with his scientific rivals. He showed how the elements are formed by nuclear reactions inside stars, and explained how we are therefore all formed from stardust. He also claimed that diseases fall from the sky, attacked Darwinism, and branded the famous fossil of the feathered Archaeopteryx a fake. Throughout his career, Hoyle played a major role in the popularization of science. Through his radio broadcasts and his highly successful science fiction novels he became a household name, though his outspokenness and support for increasingly outlandish causes later in life at times antagonized the scientific community. Jane Gregory builds up a vivid picture of Hoyle's role in the ideas, the organization, and the popularization of astronomy in post-war Britain, and provides a fascinating examination of the relationship between a maverick scientist, the scientific establishment, and the public. Through the life of Hoyle, this book chronicles the triumphs, jealousies, rewards, and feuds of a rapidly developing scientific field, in a narrative animated by a cast of colourful astronomers, keeping secrets, losing their tempers, and building their careers here on Earth while contemplating the nature of the stars.

Business Through the Eyes of Faith, Richard C. Chewning , 2013, 0062292153, 9780062292155. Is capitalism Christian?
Is there a Christian perspective on business? How should a Christian use power in the workplace? In addressing such difficult questions as these, Business Through the Eyes of Faith demonstrates how God can dwell at the center of one's life even in the secular marketplace.Here is pragmatic affirmation of the role that committed Christians can play in the business world. The authors stress the connections between Christian principles and good management and provide biblical passages that support their principles and relate them to the practical issues faced by Christian managers. Issues such as employee motivation, workplace communication, business leadership, the role of profit, and social responsibility are all addressed in concrete terms and reinforced by short vignettes, suggested biblical passages to explore, and commentaries from contemporary theorists and practitioners.Business Through the Eyes of Faith shows that business can and should be a reflection of God's kingdom. It is an invaluable resource for Christian business students, managers, and those who wish to understand the concerns and motives of Christians in the business world.

Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation, Andreas Moritz , 2005, 097657151X, 9780976571513. What actually causes disease? The answer might be surprising. In this new edition of his best-selling book The Key to Health and
Rejuvenation, Andreas Moritz reveals the most common but rarely recognized reasons responsible for illness and aging and how to achieve continuous vibrant health. Andreas puts the responsibility of basic health care back into the hands of the individual. He states, "Healing occurs effortlessly and naturally once the conditions that are required for the body to return to its most natural state - balance and efficiency - have been met." The basic theme is the relative ease involved in creating good health. While physicians attempt to combat or subdue illness, they "know very little about employing the mind and body to actually heal a person." The book includes a complete self-help program, part of which is derived from the ancient medical system of Ayurveda. In addition, this book is packed with useful information on all major health issues and effective methods of cleansing the blood, liver and gallbladder, intestines, kidneys, blood vessels, lymphatic system and body tissues. The nearly 500 pages, divided into 15 chapters, explain everything about the mystery of mind and body, the laws of health and illness, the risk factors of common diseases, the diagnostic parameters, the most common causes of disease and how to remove them, the basic misconceptions people and doctors have about health and wellness, and the journey to lifelong health and spiritual happiness. Neither conventional nor alternative forms of medicine provide the population with the basic, practical steps to remove the root causes of illness and use practical measures of health promotion as aprimary approach of treatment. Timeless Secrets of Health and Rejuvenation fills this gap by showing you how to employ your body's own healing powers to bring balance and harmony into all aspects of your life. Overall, this book is the bible of good health, happiness and rejuvenation for those who long for a balanced lifestyle.

Alfa Romeo All-Alloy Twin Cam Companion, 1954-1994: Four-Cylinder History, Care, and Restoration : Giulietta, Giulia, and Alfetta Families, Pat Braden , 2004, 0837602750, 9780837602752. Alfa Romeo All-Alloy Twin Cam Companion provides an excellent technical and historical overview of the Giulietta and Giulia family of small sporting roadsters, coupes and sedans. If an Alfa Romeo had one of the all-alloy four-cylinder engines and reached production, it's covered in the Alfa Romeo All-Alloy Twin Cam Companion. That means that even after the Giulia name was dropped - particularly in the United States - the many variants of Duetto, GTV, Berlina and Alfetta are covered, from 1954 through 1994 when the final Alfas-including the four-cylinder Spiders-were sold in the United States. When it came to Alfa Romeos, author
Pat Braden was an enthusiast's enthusiast. Pat didn't just write about Alfas - he lived and breathed Alfas. From the mid-1950s when he first owned a Giulietta Sprint until his death in August 2002, Pat had owned scores of Alfa Romeos, ranging from a 6C 1750GTC and an 8C 2300 to 1900s, Giuliettas, Giulias and countless later models. Alfa models are discussed according to history, engine, chassis and trouble spots. Without being a repair manual, this book contains important technical information needed to understand and enjoy one of these Alfas, as well as to perform many minor repair, maintenance, and service tasks. Braden starts with a brief overview of Alfa Romeo history, followed by a look at
Alfa's presence in America. He also explores the major models of coupe, spider and berlina that used the all-alloy four- cylinder, as well as the limited production variants. Of course, he also gives much attention to that mighty engine itself.
Braden explains the design and history of the engine, as well as exploring trouble spots and offering extensive advice and tips. Additional technical sections focus on the fuel system, transmission, brakes and chassis, not to mention overall restoration. Alfa Romeo All-Alloy Twin Cam Companion is a key to getting the absolute maximum benefit and enjoyment out of Alfa.

Gnosis and Hermeticism from Antiquity to Modern Times, R. van den Broek, Wouter J. Hanegraaff , 1998, 079143611X,
9780791436110. This volume introduces what has sometimes been called "the third component of western culture". It traces the historical development of those religious traditions which have rejected a world view based on the primacy of pure rationality or doctrinal faith, emphasizing instead the importance of inner enlightenment or gnosis: a revelatory experience which was typically believed to entail an encounter with one's true self as well as with the ground of being,
God.The contributors to this book demonstrate this perspective as fundamental to a variety of interconnected traditions.
In Antiquity, one finds the gnostics and hermetics; in the Middle Ages several Christian sects. The medieval Cathars can, to a certain extent, be considered part of the same tradition. Starting with the Italian humanist Renaissance, hermetic philosophy became of central importance to a new religious synthesis that can be referred to as Western Esotericism. The development of this tradition is described from Renaissance hermeticists and practitioners of spiritual alchemy to the emergence of Rosicrucianism and Christian theosophy in the seventeenth century, and from post-enlightenment aspects of Romanticism and occultism to the present-day New Age movement.

The Lights that Failed: European International History 1919-1933, Zara Steiner , 2005, 0191500526, 9780191500527. In
The Lights that Failed: European International History 1919-1933, part of the Oxford History of Modern Europe series,
Steiner challenges the common assumption that the Treaty of Versailles led to the opening of a second European war and provides an analysis of the attempts to reconstruct Europe during the 1920s. She examines the efforts that failed but also those which gave hope for future promise that are usually underestimated, if not ignored. She also shows that a degree of stabilization was achieved even though it was fragile, incomplete, and did not last through the 1929-1933 period when nationalist remedies replaced international strategies on both the economic and political levels of European relations. A second volume, The Triumph of the Night, will examine the period from 1934 to 1941. - ;The peace treaties represented an almost impossible attempt to solve the problems caused by a murderous world war. In The Lights that Failed: European International History 1919-1933, part of the Oxford History of Modern Europe series, Steiner challenges the common assumption that the Treaty of Versailles led to the opening of a second European war. In a radically original way, this book characterizes the 1920s not as a frustrated prelude to a second global conflict but as a fascinating decade in its own right, when politicians and diplomats strove to re-assemble a viable European order. Steiner examines the efforts that failed but also those which gave hope for future promise, many of which are usually underestimated, if not ignored. She shows that an equilibrium was achieved, attained between a partial American withdrawal from Europe and the self-imposed constraints which the Soviet system imposed on exporting revolution. The stabilization painfully achieved in Europe reached it fragile limits after 1925, even prior to the financial crises that engulfed the continent. The hinge years between the great crash of 1929 and Hitler's achievement of power in 1933 devastatingly altered the balance between nationalism and internationalism. This wide-ranging study helps us grasp the decisive stages in this process. In a second volume, The Triumph of the Night , Steiner will examine the immediate lead up to the Second World War and its early years. - ;...indisputably the most detailed and authoritative single-volume account of European international history in the fifteen years following the end of the Frist World War...[this work] affirms Zara Steiner's status as the pre- eminent historian of inter-war international affairs. - Martin Conway, EHR 494;Zara Steiner has produced a splendid volume, chock full of detail and with many thought-provoking insights. It will remain a classic for many years to come.
For those studying international business history it will serve as an excellent background reference manual to the period... If one were to ask for more it would be the second volume in the same vein. - Derek H. Aldcroft, Business
History;Zara Steiner's work has ensured that we will have to treat that neglected decade [the 1920s] with proper respect.
She has told the story with impeccable scholarship, clarity and compassion ... Her book will rightly become the definitive work on the period. - Margaret MacMillan, TLS;... impressive - David Stevenson, LRB;...majestic and authoritative volume...The Lights that Failed skillfully and judiciously deploys the fruits of extensive reading and long reflection ...
Embedded in its comprehensive survey of the main protagonists and themes is a radical and fascinating argument... -
Mark Mazower, BBC History;Any reader who wants to understand the inter-War period should consult this book and any serious student of the period should buy it. For there is simply nothing to compare with it in terms of erudition or exposition. Above all Zara Steiner ensures that we read history forward not backward. - The Independent;a dazzling account...This combination of human drama and a broad international perspective, shifting between western, eastern and
Atlantic viewpoints, is a governing strength of the narrative, at once providing fascinating detail, balance, and vivid variety of pace and content. Steiner's long, wise view of international relations during the last epoch when western
Europe confidently believed itself the centre of the world is compelling reading for anyone concerned with the continent's past - or future. - FT Magazine;...this is quite clearly a standard of work which is unique in the research landscape and will continue to hold this position for years to come. - Eckart Conze, German Historical Institute Bulletin, Vol. XXIX, No. 1 Handbook of Research on Mergers and Acquisitions, Yaakov Weber , 2013, 1781953651, 9781781953655. For the last four decades, researchers in various disciplines have been trying to explain the enduring paradox of the growing activity and volume of mergers and acquisitions (M&A) versus the high failure rate of M&A. This Handbook will stimulate scholars to focus on new research directions. The contributors explore how underlying concepts and methodologies can make an important contribution towards understanding M&A and their performance. This authoritative volume presents research that incorporates multidisciplinary, multi-level, multi-stage and cross-cultural models and analyses, and also focuses on such issues as process-content, knowledge transfer, due diligence, performance measures, communication, trust, grief, integration approaches, individual values, change management, and consulting. Scholars interested in research on strategy as well as Masters and PhD students on mergers and acquisitions courses will find much of value in this compilation.

In this unique introduction to the "truth of life," the power of consciousness contained in the healing art of ancient India is brought to the fore. Ayurveda ???????????? The
Power to Heal provides a modern framework for understanding the profundity of this ancient medicine. It clearly explains how Ayurveda utilizes diverse techniques from Yoga and meditation to herbs and aromas, in a comprehensive, coherent, and effective manner. While modern medicine focuses on managing and treating disease, Ayurveda emphasizes promoting health.

Guerrilla Marketing for the Home-based Business, Jay Conrad Levinson , 1995, 0395742838, 9780395742839. American business is in the midst of cataclysmic change. Corporations, re-engineering themselves to compete in the new global marketplace, lay off millions of employees, then outsource the services they performed, often to the former employees themselves. Disillusioned employees are voluntarily leaving the corporate nest in record numbers to set up small businesses of their own. Technological advances make these tiny operations not only competitive but often the optimal provider of services for the next century. These forces have led to an exponential growth of home-based businesses.
Generally, these new entrepreneurs already possess the skills necessary to bring their products and services to life. What most lack is practical knowledge of how to position and market themselves. Understandably, most do not want to be marketers; many have a downright aversion to this crucial activity. And many will fail - not because of their product, but because of failure to promote it effectively. This book can help to change that.
Space Storms and Space Weather Hazards, , I.A. Daglis , 2001, 1402000316, 9781402000317. Space storms, the manifestation of bad weather in space, have a number of physical effects in the near-Earth environment: acceleration of charged particles in space, intensification of electric currents in space and on the ground, impressive aurora displays, and global magnetic disturbances on the Earth's surface. Space weather has been defined as `conditions on the Sun and in the solar wind, magnetosphere, ionosphere, and atmosphere that can influence the performance and reliability of space- and ground-based technological systems and can endanger human life'. The 19 chapters of this book, written by some of the foremost experts on the topic, present the most recent developments in space storm physics and related technological issues, such as malfunction of satellites, communication and navigation systems, and electric power distribution grids.Readership: researchers, teachers and graduate students in space physics, astronomy, geomagnetism, space technology, electric power and communication technology, and non-specialist physicists and engineers.

Living Through the Dead: Burial and Commemoration in the Classical World, Maureen Carroll, Jane Rempel , 2011,
1842173766, 9781842173763. This volume investigates the archaeology of death and commemoration through thematically linked case studies drawn from the Classical world. These investigations stress the processes of burial and commemoration as inherently social and designed for an audience, and they explore the meaning and importance attached to preserving memory. While previous investigations of Greek and Roman death and burial have tended to concentrate on period- or regionally-specific sets of data, this volume instead focuses on a series of topical connections that highlight important facets of death and commemoration significant to the larger Classical world. Living through the
Dead investigates the subject of death and commemoration from a diverse set of archaeologically informed approaches, including visual reception, detailed analysis of excavated remains, landscape, and post-classical reflections and draws on artefactual, documentary and pictorial evidence. The nine papers present recent research by some of the leading voices on the subject, as well as some fresh perspectives. Case studies come from Thermopylae, the Bosporan kingdom,
Athens, Republican Rome, Pompeii and Egypt. As a collected volume, they provide thematically linked investigations of key issues in ritual, memory and (self)presentation associated with death and burial in the Classical period. As such, this volume will be of particular interest to postgraduate students and academics with specialist interests in the archaeology of the Classical world and also more broadly, as a source of comparative material, to people working on issues related to the archaeology of death and commemoration.

Moonwalking with Einstein: The Art and Science of Remembering Everything, Joshua Foer , 2011, 014195227X,
9780141952277. On average, people squander forty days annually trying to remember things they've forgotten. Joshua
Foer used to be one of those people. But after a year of training, he found himself in the finals of the U.S. Memory
Championship. He also discovered a truth we too often forget: In every way, we are the sum of our memories. In
Moonwalking with Einstein Foer draws on cutting-edge research, the cultural history of memory and the techniques of
'mental atheletes' to transform our understanding of human remembering. He learns the ancient methods used by Cicero and Medieval scholars. He meets amnesiacs, neuroscientists and savants - including a man who claims to have memorized more than nine thousand books. In doing so, he reveals the hidden impact of memory on our lives, and shows how we can all dramatically improve our memories. At a time when electronic devices have all but rendered our individual memories obsolete, Foer's book is a quest to resurrect the gift we all possess, but that too often slips our minds.
Towards the Light, John Compere , 2010, 0977723577, 9780977723577. Towards the Light describes the agonizing journey of a devout fifth-generation Southern Baptist clergyman from unassailable belief to utter and complete atheism.
The book lays out in detail why he outgrew the religion of his ancestors and moved towards the light of reason. After leaving the ministry, Dr. Compere went back to graduate school where he received a PhD in Clinical Psychology. Thus, his book includes psychological explanations for many religious phenomena including being born again, believing in the efficacy of prayer, and why religion continues to be so ubiquitous in an otherwise modern society. Dr. Compere is convinced that many people of faith have entertained serious doubts about the religion they inherited and should be supported in their search for how to live a good life without a belief in the supernatural. He examines many of the essential tenets of the Christian faith including an explanation of their origin while providing cogent reasons for no longer accepting the myths upon which they rest. "Growing up a minister's son, the church was not just a part of my life -- it
WAS my life. Everything in my world revolved around the church and its teachings. From my earliest memories, Christian dogma was relentlessly drilled into me until I believed that my only purpose on earth was to glorify God. Anything short of that was failure. I got the message. I gave my first sermon at age fifteen and became an ordained minister in the
Southern Baptist Church at eighteen. Although serious theological doubts began in college, I set them aside and managed to continue in the ministry until I had completed a seminary degree and served two pastorates. After a decade of denial, I finally admitted to myself that I was becoming publicly phony and privately cynical. I couldn't live with that so at age 32, I left the ministry which had been my whole life, and struck out in a new direction, one which would allow me to live with integrity. This is the story of my journey Towards the Light and of the inescapable, but heretical, conclusions about religion which occurred along the way."

Reshaping National Intelligence for an Age of Information, Gregory F. Treverton , 2003, 052153349X, 9780521533492.
In this bold and penetrating study, Gregory Treverton, former Vice Chair of the National Intelligence Council and Senate investigator, offers his insider's views on how intelligence gathering and analysis must change. He suggests why intelligence needs to be both contrarian, leaning against the conventional wisdom, and attentive to the longer term, leaning against the growing shorter time horizons of Washington policy makers. He urges that the solving of intelligence puzzles tap expertise outside government--in the academy, think tanks, and Wall Street--to make these parties colleagues and co-consumers of intelligence, befitting the changed role of government from doer to convener, mediator, and coalition-builder.
FDI in Retail Sector, India, Arpita Mukherjee, Nitisha Patel , 2005, 8171884806, 9788171884803. This survey-based study analyzes the current retail marketplace in India, investigating current and projected growth across different segments of retail and evaluating the impact of allowing foreign-direct investment (FDI), currently not allowed in India.
India's retail sector is positioned to transform from mostly small, family-owned businesses to large-scale chain retail, and many international brands are investigating how to enter India's retail market. The study of the structural, regulatory, fiscal and other barriers affecting the performance of retail trade suggests reforms for the removal of such barriers and provides a timeframe in which the Indian government can open its retail sector to FDI and the conditions that may be imposed on foreign retailers if FDI is allowed.

The Stone Gods, Jeanette Winterson , 2009, 0156035723, 9780156035729. On the airwaves, all the talk is of the new blue planet ? pristine and habitable, like our own was 65 million years ago, before we took it to the edge of destruction.
Off the air, Billie Crusoe and the renegade robo-sapian Spike are falling in love. Along with Captain Handsome and Pink, they're assigned to colonize the new blue planet. But when a technical maneuver intended to make it inhabitable backfires, Billie and Spike's flight to the future becomes a surprising return to the distant past ?- "Everything is imprinted forever with what it once was." What will happen when their story combines with the world's story? Will they ?- and we
?- ever find a safe landing place?Playful, passionate, polemical, and frequently very funny, The Stone Gods will change forever the stories we tell about the earth, about love, and about stories themselves.

Some of the most significant developments in term rewriting theory are reviewed, as well as a history of the most important discovery in the field, namely the notion of a critical pair and its natural consequence, the completion algorithm. Many of the new ideas developed have important applications in other fields of theoretical computing. Therefore, this book should be of interest to researchers from areas such as logic programming, computer algebra, and functional programming.
Jacob's Ladder: A Story of Virginia During the War, Donald McCaig , 1999, 0140282653, 9780140282658. Widely acclaimed, with comparisons to Margaret Mitchell and Shelby Foote, Jacob's Ladder is a rich and poignant novel. It is the story of Duncan Gatewood, seventeen and heir to the Gatewood Plantation in Virginia. Duncan falls in love with Maggie, a mulatto slave, who bears him a son, Jacob. Maggie and Jacob are sold south, and Duncan is packed off by his irate father to the Virginia Military Institute. As a cadet, Duncan guards the gallows of John Brown; as a man he will fight for
Robert E. Lee and the South. Another Gatewood slave, Jesse -- whose love for Maggie is unrequited -escapes to freedom and enlists in Mr. Lincoln's army; in time he will confront his former masters.Permeated with a wealth of scrupulously researched historical detail, McCaig conjures up the interlocked lives of masters and slaves so skillfully that he has gained praise from African American historians and the descendants of confederate veterans. Jacob's Ladder, lauded by the
Virginia Quarterly as "the best Civil War novel ever written, " is an epic tale that resonates with all the bitter glory and deep human shame of America's greatest war.

The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes: Biblical Studies and Ethics for Real Life, Yiu Sing Lcs Chan , 2012,
1442215542, 9781442215542. The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes are often considered significant texts for the
Christian moral life. However, most interpretations of these passages either focus on the original meaning of the text or how the texts should impact ordinary living today. In The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes Yiu Sing Lucas Chan brings together biblical studies and Christian ethics to look at these foundational texts in a new way. For each passage
Chan asks both what the texts meant and what they mean today. He helps readers to carefully study the text s original meaning, then interpret the text within a sound ethical framework. The Ten Commandments and the Beatitudes is an excellent introduction to key concepts in biblical studies and Christian ethics that combines sound study with warmth and wisdom.
Markets and States in Tropical Africa: The Political Basis of Agricultural Policies, Robert H. Bates , 1981, 0520042530,
9780520042537. Most Africans live in rural areas and derive their incomes from farming; but because African governments follow policies that are adverse to most farmers' interests, these countries fail to produce enough food to feed their populations. "Markets and States in Tropical Africa "analyzes these and other paradoxical features of development in modern Africa and explores how governments have intervened and diverted resources from farmers to other sectors of society. A classic of the field since its publication in 1981, this edition includes a new preface by the author.

The Faith Next Door : American Christians and Their New Religious Neighbors: American Christians and Their New
Religious Neighbors, The McNamara Center for the Social Studies of Religion Loyola University College Paul D Numrich
Dr. Research Associate Professor, USA , 2009, 0199745005, 9780199745005. The religious landscape of the United
States has changed dramatically in recent decades. How are Christians relating to their Buddhist, Hindu, Muslim, and other new religious neighbors? Using local examples, The Faith Next Door covers the gamut of Christian responses to
America's multireligious reality. We read about the debate over a new Hindu temple in town, the Episcopal church that has hosted a mosque since 1987, the cooperative efforts between African American pastors and Muslim leaders, immigrant Christians seeking to save their non-Christian fellow immigrants, evangelicals resettling immigrants and refugees through "friendship evangelism," Catholics learning about other religions in the spirit of Vatican II, Greek
Orthodox Christians and Turkish Muslims gaining a new appreciation of their shared history, and more. The book also examines how the events of September 11, 2001 have shaped Christian approaches to believers from other faiths, from engaging in dialogue to hoping for conversion. Here Christian theology meets the multireligious real world, with multiple results suggestive of national trends.

Never a Pal Like Mother: Vintage Songs & Photographs of the One Who's Always True, , 2011, 0981734235,
9780981734231. Throughout the first half of the twentieth century, separation from loved ones was an accepted fact of life, for several generations of Americans. Westward migration had cleaved many families along generational lines, as young people left their elders in the east, rarely if ever to see them again. Immigrants from Ireland and Germany and
Italy said goodbye to their mothers as they prepared to cross the ocean to America, while African Americans in the South did the same as they boarded northbound trains. Another wave of young soldiers left home, headed for the hills of Cuba and the Philippine boondocks, and their sons would write home from the trenches of Europe. This generational nostalgia became a mainstay of pop culture: in early country music, the mother song was a staple, from the heartbreaking to the maudlin; blues and black gospel singers missed their mamas too, from Jaybird Coleman to the Pilgrim Travelers.
Gathering vintage photographs of mothers and children and a two-CD compilation of 78 rpm recordings of motherly love,
Never a Pal Like Motheris the ultimate homage to--and gift for--mothers everywhere. Rosanne Cash captures the
Americana flavor of this book in her foreword to the volume: "Those of us who treasure American roots music are listening to the very center of its essence in this anthology: the nearly century-old collection of songs about the most important person in the entire lexicon."

Payback: Debt and the Shadow Side of Wealth, Margaret Atwood , 2008, 0887848001, 9780887848001. Collected here, the Massey Lectures from legendary novelist Margaret Atwood investigate the highly topical subject of debt. She doesnt talk about high finance or managing money; instead, she goes far deeper to explore debt as an ancient and central motif in religion, literature, and the structure of human societies. By looking at how debt has informed our thinking from preliterate times to the present day, from the stories we tell of revenge and sin to the way we order social relationships,
Atwood argues that the idea of what we owe may well be built into the human imagination as one of its most dynamic metaphors. Her final lecture addresses the notion of a debt to nature and the need to find new ways of interacting with the natural world before it is too late.

Jihad : The Origin of Holy War in Islam: The Origin of Holy War in Islam, Reuven Firestone Professor of Medieval Judaism and Islam and Director of the Graduate School of Judaic Studies Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Los
Angeles , 1999, 019535219X, 9780195352191. While there exists no evidence to date that the indigenous inhabitants of
Arabia knew of holy war prior to Islam, holy war ideas and behaviors appear already among Muslims during the first generation. This book focuses on why and how such a seemingly radical development took place. Basing his hypothesis on evidence from the Qur'an and early Islamic literary sources, Firestone locates the origin of Islamic holy war and traces its evolution as a response to the changes affecting the new community of Muslims in its transition from ancient Arabian culture to the religious civilization of Islam.

The Atlantic Salmon, Lee Wulff , 1983, 0832902675, 9780832902673. The Atlantic salmon is the king of game fish. Sleek and silvery, an astonishing leaper, paradoxical in his habits and behavior and electrifying when hooked, Salmo salar is the ultimate angling quarry. And now, at last, we have a thoroughly revised and updated version of the classic 1958 book on this great game fish by one of the world's leading anglers. It is graced by scores of new photographs, drawings by the author, and several important new chapters. Lee Wulff provides expert advice on all phases of this great sport - tackle, casting, presentation of both wet and dry flies, fly selection, wading, where fish lie and how to make them strike, and how best to land salmon. (Much of what Wulff says is applicable to all forms of fly fishing.) There are shrewd and telling observations on the biology and ecology of the salmon, and strong, measured advice on how salmon fishing can be protected and improved, so that thousands of new anglers can share the pleasures of this exciting brand of fishing.
Throughout the book, there is a wealth of fascinating stories from the author's fifty years of salmon fishing throughout the world - and at the end, a stirring new account of Wulff's pioneering flights, in the thirties, in a single-engine plane, in search of salmon. Not merely for those who have fished for salmon but for the legions of fly fishermen who dream of doing so and who may eventually realize their dreams, The Atlantic Salmon is a rich, classic book not to be missed.

The Seven Deadly Sins: A Visitor's Guide, Lawrence S. Cunningham , 2012, 1594713405, 9781594713408. Distinguished
Notre Dame professor and bestselling author Lawrence Cunningham guides readers on a veritable tour of and personal inquiry into the seven deadly sinstheir roots in the mystic experiences of the desert fathers, their modern manifestations, and how to supplant these invasive, destructive habits with virtue. Shorty: A Life in Sports, David H. White, Jr. , 2007, 0944353215, 9780944353219. Football, it is often said, remains the
"one defining sport" for American men. Certainly, much of the language emerging from the game itself-its tactics, its strategy, its jargon-is often called upon to express the practices of the country's most competitive businesses and organizations. Shorty: A Life in Sports is a compelling new sports biography and social history. Sportswriter David White, whose highly acclaimed first book, the regional best-selling Leadership Lessons for Life, examined the key character traits and leadership qualities of a diverse cross-section of Alabama high school coaches, now tackles much broader, more compelling cultural theme-what is the state of amateur athletics in the heartland as we settle into the twenty-first century? In this remarkably resonant life of Coach George "Shorty" White (no relation to the author), we follow the trajectory of a high school coach's career, moving from a modest but happy childhood without a father in the Depression- era South to the challenging war years as an adolescent under the wing of a loving, hard-working mother facing the loss of two loved ones. We revisit football in the booming fifties when Shorty was a young football star and a rising head coach, and finally, we continue to track the arc of his successes and failures into the sixties and early seventies as we reflect upon a world shaken by inevitable social change... not only in Birmingham, but for nation and the world as well.
The Last Giant of Beringia: The Mystery of the Bering Land Bridge, Dan O'Neill , 2009, 0786738170, 9780786738175.
The intriguing theory of a land bridge linking Siberia and Alaska during the coldest pulsations of the Ice Ages had been much debated since the idea was first proposed in 1589. But proof of the land bridge-now named Beringia after eighteenth-century Danish explorer Vitus Bering-eluded scientists until an inquiring geologist named Dave Hopkins emerged from rural New England and set himself to the task of solving the mystery. This compelling blend of science, biography, and history follows the life story of the eclectic Hopkins as he solves this mystery-and creates an international stir that solidified his place in history. An account that is both thrilling and accessible, The Last Giant of Beringia is popular science writing at its best.

DNA Microarrays: A Practical Approach, Mark Schena , 1999, 0199637776, 9780199637775. DNA Microarrays: A Practical
Approach is the first comprehensive overview of an exciting and powerful new technology. DNA microarrays, or biochips, are small glass chips embedded with ordered rows of DNA, providing a massive parallel platform for data gathering and representing a fundamental technical advance in biomedical research. Such biochips gather data at an unprecedented rate by enabling the use of advanced fabrication, detection, and data mining technologies. Written and edited by experts in the field, this book provides fascinating insight into this remarkable advancement. It opens with an introduction to the technology of DNA microarrays, emphasizing the methodological fundamentals of biochips, and continues with descriptions of the use of confocal scanning in microarray detection and techniques for the efficient cloning and screening of differentially expressed genes. The chapters address many topics, among them assay optimization, antisense scanning arrays, the manufacture of molecular arrays, and gene expression analysis. Also addressed are the uses of expression data in bioinformatics, of active microelectronic arrays for DNA hybridization analysis, and of microarray technology in pharmacogenomics. DNA Microarrays: A Practical Approach is ideal for researchers investigating patterns of gene expression (and the relationship with disease), and it is essential for any researcher interested in the use of biochips.

John Henry : Roark Bradford's Novel and Play: Roark Bradford's Novel and Play, Seven C. Tracy , 2008, 0199707901,
9780199707904. Roark Bradford's 1931 novel and 1939 play dealing with the legendary folk-hero John Henry (both titled
John Henry) were extremely influential in their own time but have long been unavailable or extremely hard to find. In this unique collection, Steven C.Tracy has joined Bradford's seminal works in a new critical edition to help contextualize both the novel and play, making these vital texts widely available again for scholars of folklore and African American literature.
This new volume includes an expansive introduction that explores Bradford's life and work, critical responses to the novel and play, and a survey of John Henry's pervasive influence in folk, literary, and popular culture. It also features a wide array of supplementary materials, including a selected bibliography and discography related to Bradford and John Henry; transcriptions of a number of folksong texts and recordings available during the 1930s; and a chronology of the lives of both Bradford and Henry. As Tracy's introduction makes clear, such a consideration of Bradford--set in the context of writers, both black and white, drawing upon African American folklore and using dialects along with stereotypical and non- stereotypical portrayals--is long overdue. In pairing Bradford's two treatments of the quintessentially American story of
John Henry, Tracy has provided the definitive edition of two classic American texts, and in so doing, he provides a welcome opportunity to reflect on the various paths by which African American traditions have infiltrated the cultural mainstream.

Ghana: An African Portrait Revisited, Peter E. Randall , 2007, 998864714X, 9789988647148. Ghana. An African Portrait by the American photographer Paul Strand was published in 1963 at the request of Kwame Nkrumah. It became a classic but is now out of print. Over 40 years after that landmark work, and coinciding with the 50th anniversary celebrations of
Ghana's independence, the country is documented again as it enters the 21st century. Six photographers with six points of view of working present a unique portrait of the country, through 150 photographs. From Accra to Bolatanga, and
Elmina to Aflao, these are images of a country that is changing yet still retains much of its traditional character. There are photographs of bead makers, wood carvers, kente weavers and coffin makers; and of Ghana's unique fishing industry, its historic slave forts, outdoor markets, and the diverse religious community. And at the same time, a country poised to compete in world markets is seen through Accra's rising skyline buildings and Tema's modern port facilities. Abena
Busia's essay provides a capsule history of the country.

Enforced disarmament: from the Napoleonic Campaigns to the Gulf War, Philip Towle , 1997, 0198206364,
9780198206361. At every major peace conference for the past 200 years victors have disarmed their defeated enemies to try to prevent them from overturning the peace settlement. The efficacy and durability of enforced disarmament measures, and the resistance they are likely to encounter, are thus issues of central strategic and political importance.
Philip Towle examines the most important peace settlements from the time of Napolean to Saddam Hussein in the first major history of this fascinating subject.

Come Back, Como: Winning the Heart of a Reluctant Dog, Steven Winn , 2009, 006180259X, 9780061802591. Steven
Winn and his wife, Sally, held out for as long as they could. When the San Francisco couple finally gave in to their only child Phoebe's pleas for a dog, they adopted a scraggly terrier mutt from a local animal shelter. The new family pet,
Como, turned out to hate menespecially the authorand proved to be a cunning escape artist. Traumatized, single- minded, and exceptionally clever, Como was bent on breaking Winn's sanity and self-respect, his bank account and his heart. Come Back, Como is the story of one man's hilarious and poignant quest to win the trust of a dog who wanted nothing to do with him. With humor and pathos, Winn describes the maddening but ultimately rewarding effects Como had on his family, the misadventures and ordeals and terrifying events he and his dog endured together, and the greatest lesson Como taught him: that loving a dog can make us more human.

Miracle of Channelling: Heaven Sent, Lee Grace , 2013, 1452507406, 9781452507408. God can answer your questions!
For the past twenty years, Psychic Channeller Lee Grace, has undertaken an extraordinary journey into God and the
Paranormal. Here, she tells her tale of this amazing relationship and experience. She believes that God is the Source of
All Channelling Experiences and that He is the one who sends spirit guides into our lives. He has told her, firsthand, that
He is the Source of All Paranormal Events. For Lee, her journey started when she and her family began to see ghosts in their new home. Curious, she did some research, reading everything she could get her hands on about Psychic phenomena. She then began reaching out to these earthbound spirits with a Pendulum and started seeing visions in her
Meditations. When she found a book about Channelling, she knew that it was an invitation for a far more profound connection to the unknown. She prayed for guidance and for permission to Channel. God answered Lee's prayers-and so much more. She built a relationship with Poulou, her personal spirit guide. One significant afternoon, she asked Poulou a seemingly simple question: "What does God look like?" What happened next changed her life forever. Lee was introduced to God. She was given the gift of Direct Verbal Channelling with God, and now she shares this good news with everyone.
Lee includes, and would like you to try for your own experience, a comprehensive guide for Direct Verbal Channelling.

Acoustics of Wood, ISSN 1431-8563, Voichita Bucur , 2006, 3540261230, 9783540261230. The book 'Acoustics of Wood' is devoted to those aspects related to the development of acoustic methods as an effective means for examining physical properties of wood through an interdisciplinary approach. The main parts of the book are: environmental acoustics, material characterization and quality assessment. In the first part of the book a discussion of the physical phenomena associated with the propagation of acoustic waves in forests is presented. The behavior of wood and wood-based composites as materials used in architectural acoustics is also discussed. The second part was written in response to practical considerations about wood uses. This part provides an introductory understanding of basic aspects related to the theory of waves propagation in anisotropic solids, experimental methods for acoustics and mechanic characterization of wood, examination of wood anisotropy using ultrasonic parameters. In the third part wood quality assessment is discussed. Wood used for musical instruments has the most remarkable quality, with unique acoustic properties. In contrast with wood for musical instruments, free of defects, in common wood the defects are always present. Ultrasonic velocity method, acoustic emission method, acousto-ultrasonic techniques are used for the detection of defects in standing trees, solid wood and wood-based composites. High-energy ultrasonic treatment for wood processing such as drying, defibering, cutting and plasticizing are described in the last chapter.

On Elegance While Sleeping, Emilio Lascano Tegui , 2010, 1564786048, 9781564786043. A hidden genius of Argentine literature.Le MondeThe first English translation of the self-proclaimed Viscount Emilio Lascano Teguia friend of Picasso and Apollinaire, and a larger-than-life eccentric in his own rightOn Elegance While Sleeping is the deliciously macabre novel, part Maldoror and part Dorian Gray, that established its authors reputation as a renegade hero of Argentine literature. It tells the story, in the form of a surreal diary, of a lonely, syphilitic French soldier, whoafter too many brothels and disappointmentsreturns from Africa longing for a world with more elegance. He promptly falls in love with a goat, and recalls the time, after a childhood illness, when his hair fell out and grew back orangea phenomenon his doctor attributed to the cultivation of carrots in a neighboring town. Disturbing, provocative, and mesmerizing, On Elegance
While Sleeping charts the decline of a man unraveling due to his own oversensitivityand drifting closer and closer to committing a murder. from On Elegance While Sleeping: I was born in Bougival. The Seine flowed through our village.
Fleeing from Paris. Its dark green waters dragged in the grime from that happy city. As the river crossed our town, it jammed the millwheel with the shy bodies of drowning victims hidden beneath its surface. Their trip ended with a final shove. They didnt drain easily through the sluice gates as the water passed under the mill and so it happened, occasionally, that one of their arms would go through without them, reaching into the air in a gesture of help. I fished out a number of these bodies as a child. Like the mailman in town who was famous for bringing news of a death, I was known for discovering the most cadavers. It gave me a certain aura of fame among my comrades, and I prided myself on the distinction. I threatened the other children my age that I was going to find them too, the day they drowned.
