Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Did you know that for every human on earth, there are about one million ants They are among the longest-lived insects--with some ant queens passing the thirty-year mark--as well as some of the strongest. Fans of both the city and countryside alike, ants decompose dead wood, turn over soil (in some places more than earthworms), and even help plant forests by distributing seeds. But while fewer than thirty of the nearly one thousand ant species living in North America are true pests, we cringe when we see them marching across our kitchen floors.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - By taking simple ways of looking at sculpture, this book uncovers unexpected affinities between works of very different periods and types. From sundials to mirrors, from graves to way-markers, from fountains to contemporary art, a wide range of illustrated examples expands the definitions of sculpture and proposes that we understand this art as something more fundamental to the way we experience and construct our rites of passage. Penelope Curtis argues that there are some basic functions shared by many kinds of three-dimensional objects, be they more or less obviously sculptural. Even contemporary sculpture, with no apparent purpose, makes use of this deeply embedded vocabulary. Together, the qualities of vertical, horizontal, closed and open are consolidated in the ensemble, which places the viewer at its heart, on the threshold of sculpture and on the threshold of change. This book elides the usual notions of figurative and abstract to think instead about how sculpture works. Published in association with the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - British Royal Navy Captain James Cook's voyages of exploration across and around the Pacific Ocean were a marvel of maritime achievement, and provided the first accurate map of the Pacific. The expeditions answered key scientific, economic, and geographic questions, and inspired some of the most influential images of the Pacific made by Europeans. Now readers can immerse themselves in the adventure through the collections of London's National Maritime Museum, which illuminate every aspect of the voyages: oil paintings of lush landscapes, scientific and navigational instruments, ship plans, globes, charts and maps, rare books and manuscripts, coins and medals, ethnographic material, and personal effects. Each artifact holds a story that sheds light on Captain Cook, the crews he commanded, and the effort's impact on world history. Showcasing one of the richest resources of Cook-related material in the world, this publication invites readers to engage with the extraordinary voyages-manifested in material culture-and their continuing significance today.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The thirty-first edition of the NBER Macroeconomics Annual features theoretical and empirical research on central issues in contemporary macroeconomics. The first two papers are rigorous and data-driven analyses of the European financial crisis. In the first paper, Pierre-Olivier Gourinchas, Thomas Philippon, and Dimitri Vayanos, analyze the causes of the Greek Crisis of 2010 and the policy efforts that followed in its wake. The second paper, by Olivier Blanchard, Christopher J. Erceg, and Jesper Linde, demonstrates that under plausible modeling assumptions, fiscal expansion by the core euro area economies would be likely to have a substantial positive effect on the GDP of nations on the periphery of the euro area, provided the European Central Bank holds policy rates low for a prolonged period. In the third paper, Oscar Jorda, Moritz Schularick, and Alan M. Taylor introduce a new set of stylized facts about economic growth and financial ratios as well as a new macro-financial database for the study of historical financial booms and busts. The fourth paper, by Jeffrey R. Campbell, Jonas D. M. Fisher, Alejandro Justiniano, and Leonardo Melosi, studies the historical effects of Federal Reserve efforts to provide guidance about the future path of the funds rate. It concludes that forward guidance did not advance the Federal Reserve s goals of macroeconomic expansion until late 2011 when the Fed introduced calendar- based communications. The fifth paper, by Fernando Alvarez, Franceso Lippi, and Juan Passadore, explores the distinctions between models of price setting and associated nominal frictions using data on price setting behavior. It also investigates the sensitivity of a number of key macroeconomic analyses to the assumed model of price stickiness. In the sixth paper, Paul Beaudry, Dana Galizia, and Franck Portier consider a broad issue in economic dynamics, namely the possibility that the economy displays nonlinear dynamics that lead to cycles rather than long-term convergence to a steady state. The volume also includes a short paper by Lawrence Summers on the decline in the rate of global economic growth. After noting that the cumulative rate of per capita income growth in the United States since the onset of the Great Recession in December 2007 is no greater than that in the nine years following the start of the Great Depression in 1929, Summers explores a number of potential contributors to this situation and outlines a number of consequences of a persistent low-growth environment.
