An Introduction to Symbolic Dynamics and Coding by Douglas Lind English | 2021 | ISBN: 110882028X | 571 Pages | PDF | 6 MB  Michael E. Sawyer, "An Africana Philosophy of Temporality: Homo Liminalis" English | 2018 | pages: 355 | ISBN: 3030075095 | PDF | 3,4 mb This book is a timely intervention in the areas of philosophy, history, and literature. As an exploration of the modern political order and its racial genealogy, it emerges at a moment when scholars and activists alike are wrestling with how to understand subject formation from the perspective of the subordinated rather than from dominant social and philosophical modes of thought. For Sawyer, studying the formation of racialized subjects requires a new imagining of marginalized subjects. Black subjectivity is not viewed from the static imaginings of social death, alienation, ongoing abjection, or as a confrontation with the treat of oblivion. Sawyer innovates the term "fractured temporality," conceptualizing Black subjects as moving within and across temporalities in transition, incorporated, yet excluded, marked with the social death of Atlantic slavery and the emergent political orders it etched, and still capable of exerting revolutionary force that acts upon, against, and through racial oppression.  American Stories By Nagai Kafu, Mitsuko Iriye 2000 | 288 Pages | ISBN: 0231117906 | PDF | 1 MB Nagai Kafu is one of the greatest modern Japanese writers, but until now his classic collection, American Stories, based on his sojourn from Japan to Washington State, Michigan, and New York City in the early years of the twentieth century, has never been available in English. Here, with a detailed and insightful introduction, is an elegant translation of Kafu´s perceptive and lyrical account. Like de Tocqueville a century before, Kafu casts a fresh, keen eye on vibrant and varied America -world fairs, concert halls, and college campuses; saloons, the immigrant underclass, and red-light districts. Many of his vignettes involve encounters with fellow Japanese or Chinese immigrants, some of whom are poorly paid laborers facing daily discrimination. The stories paint a broad landscape of the challenges of American life for the poor, the foreign born, and the disaffected, peopled with crisp individual portraits that reveal the daily disappointments and occasional euphorias of modern life. Translator Mitsuko Iriye´s introduction provides important cultural and biographical background about Kafu´s upbringing in rapidly modernizing Japan, as well as literary context for this collection. In the first story, ''Night Talk in a Cabin,'' three young men sailing from Japan to Seattle each reveal how poor prospects, shattered confidence, or a broken heart has driven him to seek a better life abroad. In ''Atop the Hill,'' the narrator meets a fellow Japanese expatriate at a small midwestern religious college, who slowly reveals his complex reasons for leaving behind his wife in Japan. Caught between the pleasures of America´s cities and the stoicism of its small towns, he wonders if he can ever return home. Kafu plays with the contradictions and complexities of early twentieth-century America, revealing the tawdry, poor, and mundane underside of New York´s glamour in ''Ladies of the Night'' while celebrating the ingenuity, cosmopolitanism, and freedom of the American city in ''Two Days in Chicago.'' At once sensitive and witty, elegant and gritty, these stories provide a nuanced outsider´s view of the United States and a perfect entrance into modern Japanese literature.

 All-Exciting Christmas Recipes: Christmas Foods That Everyone Will Be Talking About by April Blomgren English | September 13, 2020 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B08HTGG9MJ | 91 pages | Rar (PDF, AZW3) | 7.70 Mb What is Christmas looking like for you this year?  Alexander Pepper, "Agency Theory and Executive Pay: The Remuneration Committee's Dilemma" English | 2018 | pages: 140 | ISBN: 3319999680 | PDF | 1,6 mb This new book examines the relationship between agency theory and executive pay. It argues that while Jensen and Meckling (1976) were right in their analysis of the agency problem in public corporations they were wrong about the proposed solutions. Drawing on ideas from economics, psychology, sociology and the philosophy of science, the author explains how standard agency theory has contributed to the problem of executive pay rather than solved it. The book explores why companies should be regarded as real entities not legal fictions, how executive pay in public corporations can be conceptualised as a collective action problem and how behavioral science can help in the design of optimal incentive arrangements. An insightful and revolutionary read for those researching corporate governance, HRM and organisation theory, this useful book offers potential solutions to some of the problems with executive pay and the standard model of agency. |
