Dreamspellers: Los Hechiceros De Los Sueños

Una Postura Futurista Contra El Mal

By: Penny Ann

Veinte años después de que Corey Tusk liderara una revolución contra la tiranía, su familia y amigos ahora viven como personas libres en la comunidad post-apocalíptica de Andrómeda, sin distinción de clases ni prejuicios. Los niños están creciendo hasta llegar a la edad adulta y experimentando romances incipientes en la paz y armonía que sus padres lucharon tan duro por lograr. Pero, sin que ellos lo sepan, aquellos que todavía creen en las ideologías y sistemas arcaicos del pasado han estado viviendo bajo tierra en un búnker y están listos para emerger. Cuando los dos grupos se enfrentan, se desarrolla el caos y la tragedia y el viejo mundo choca con el nuevo, y la gente de Andrómeda debe decidir si ayuda a Los Hechiceros De Los Sueños, que son los creadores involuntarios de la realidad virtual del programa Dreamspell y que son lo que están siendo controlados y reprimidos por las grandes élites. ¿Podrán Corey Tusk y sus amigos hacer frente a estas fuerzas del mal utilizando todos los dones de sus nuevos estados iluminados, o sucumbirán al miedo que los gobernó durante décadas bajo la represión de los Mensis?

Modern Methods in Analytical Acoustics

Lecture Notes

By: D.G. Crighton,Ann P. Dowling,J.E. Ffowcs Williams,M.A. Heckl,F.A. Leppington

Modern Methods in Analytical Acoustics considers topics fundamental to the understanding of noise, vibration and fluid mechanisms. The series of lectures on which this material is based began by some twenty five years ago and has been developed and expanded ever since. Acknowledged experts in the field have given this course many times in Europe and the USA. Although the scope of the course has widened considerably, the primary aim of teaching analytical techniques of acoustics alongside specific areas of wave motion and unsteady fluid mechanisms remains. The distinguished authors of this volume are drawn from Departments of Acoustics, Engineering of Applied Mathematics in Berlin, Cambridge and London. Their intention is to reach a wider audience of all those concerned with acoustic analysis than has been able to attend the course.

The Development of Old English

By: Donald A. Ringe,Ann A. Taylor

This book, the second volume in A Linguistic History of English, describes the development of Old English from Proto-Germanic. Like Volume I, it is an internal history of the structure of English that combines traditional historical linguistics, modern syntactic theory, the study of languages in contact, and the variationist approach to language change. The first part of the book considers the development of Northwest and West Germanic, and the northern dialects of the latter, with particular reference to phonological and morphological phenomena. Later chapters present a detailed account of changes in the Old English sound system, inflectional system, and syntax. The book aims to make the findings of traditional historical linguistics accessible to scholars and students in other subdisciplines, and also to adopt approaches from contemporary theoretical linguistics in such a way that they are accessible to a wide range of historical linguists.

Simple Monetary Policy Rules Under Model Uncertainty

By: Ann-Charlotte Eliasson,Mr.Peter Isard,Mr.Douglas Laxton

Using stochastic simulations and stability analysis, the paper compares how different monetary rules perform in a moderately nonlinear model with a time-varying nonaccelerating-inflation-rate-of-unemployment (NAIRU). Rules that perform well in linear models but implicitly embody backward-looking measures of real interest rates (such as conventional Taylor rules) or substantial interest rate smoothing perform very poorly in models with moderate nonlinearities, particularly when policymakers tend to make serially correlated errors in estimating the NAIRU. This challenges the practice of evaluating rules within linear models, in which the consequences of responding myopically to significant overheating are extremely unrealistic.

The Science and Treatment of Psychological Disorders

By: Ann M. Kring,Sheri L. Johnson

The Science and Treatment of Psychological Disorders blends theory and research with practice and clinical application to provide learners with a solid foundation in psychological disorders and develop their understanding with up-to-date and relevant research, examples, and contexts. From its first edition, the focus of this book has always been on balancing contemporary research and clinical application while involving the learner in the problem-solving engaged in by clinicians and scientists. It continues to emphasize an integrative approach, showing how psychopathology is best understood by considering multiple perspectives—genetic, neuroscientific, cognitive-behavioral, and sociocultural—and how these varying perspectives produce the clearest accounting of the causes of these disorders, as well as provide insights into the best possible treatments. With this new sixteenth edition, “Abnormal Psychology” is dropped from the title. The importance of stigma and mental illness is discussed throughout—never is this more important than now when many social ills such as gun violence are too easily blamed on mental illness while we continue to warehouse people with psychological disorders in jails at an astonishing rate. AN INTERACTIVE, MULTIMEDIA LEARNING EXPERIENCE This textbook includes access to an interactive, multimedia e-text. Icons throughout the print book signal corresponding digital content in the e-text. Case Study Videos and Pause and Ponder Activities: A collection of fourteen 7 to 10 minute Case Study Videos presents an encompassing view of a variety of psychological disorders, featuring people experiencing these disorders and their families describing symptoms from their own perspective. In addition, each video provides concise information about the available treatment options and commentary from a mental health professional. Each video is presented in the context of a Pause and Ponder activity with the following elements: Part I: Pause: Readers are asked to read several short examples of everyday life situations facing a person, or people, with a particular disorder and assess their own ability to empathize. Part II: Learn: Readers are directed to view the Case Study Video and answer a series of questions with interactive self-scoring. Part III: Ponder: Finally, readers are asked to respond to one or more open-ended questions and to reassess their ability to empathize. Interactive Figures, Charts & Tables: Appearing throughout the enhanced e-text, interactive figures, process diagrams, and tables facilitate the study of complex concepts and processes and help students retain important information. Even many of the simplest figures are interactive to encourage online readers to pause and absorb the information they present before scrolling on to additional reading. Interactive Self-Scoring Check Your Knowledge Questions and Practice Quizzes: Students can check their answers to the Check Your Knowledge questions at the end of each major chapter section instantly, and each chapter includes a self-scoring Practice Quiz to help prepare for graded assignments and exams.

By: Howard E. Haber,Ann E. Nelson

This book contains the lecture courses conducted at the School of the Theoretical Advanced Study Institute (TASI, Colorado, USA) on Elementary Particle Physics in 2002. In this School, three series of lectures are presented in parallel in the area of phenomenology, TeV-scale physics, and astroparticles physics. The phenomenology lecture series covered a broad spectrum of standard research techniques used to interpret present day and future collider data. The TeV-scale physics lecture series focused on modern speculations about physics beyond the Standard Model, with an emphasis on supersymmetry and extra-dimensional theories. The lecture series on astroparticle physics treated recent developments in theories of dark matter and dark energy, the cosmic microwave background, and prospects for the upcoming era of gravitational wave astronomy.

Sexual Equality

A Mill-Taylor Reader

Sexual Equality

A Mill-Taylor Reader

By: Ann P. Robson

All the significant ideas in nineteenth-century English feminism can be found in the prose and thought of John Stuart Mill and in those of the two women central to his life: Harriet Taylor, who married him in 1851, and her daughter, Helen Taylor. Together they produced some of the most powerful and influential writings ever penned to promote women's equality, and it was to this family that the Victorian women's movement in England came to look for leadership, guidance, and money. In this volume, Ann Robson and John Robson bring together the writings and speeches from these three seminal thinkers on the subject of sexual equality. Some of these pieces have not been available in published form for more than a century. They cover such topics as love, sex, marriage, children, property, domestic relations, divorce, and suffrage. Sexual Equality is a necessary tool for understanding the development of ideas on women's issues in the Mill household. These ideas influenced thinking on sexual equality far beyond England and far past the Victorian period.

Elements of Structured Finance

Elements of Structured Finance

By: Ann Rutledge,Sylvain Raynes

For all but the most credit-worthy companies, it is more efficient to finance large pools of assets that have predictable behavioral characteristics through non-standard arrangements. These off-balance sheet structures allow credit exposures to be tailored to investor risk, asset class, and an ever-increasing diversity of idiosyncratic needs on the part of issuers and investors. The discipline that addresses these structures, which is called structured finance or securitization, is almost twenty years old, and has become a ubiquitous element of modern financial management. Yet, it has not been systematically covered in a textbook designed for both the school and workplace contexts.Elements of Structured Finance, the text version of a program of instruction in structured finance that the authors have offered at universities, private training programs, and consultancies, fills this void spectacularly. Raynes and Rutledge, two very highly regarded teachers and consultants in the field, bring clarity and logic to an inherently complex and frightening area of finance, using their extensive experience working with many of the top Wall Street securities houses. The book will start with the relatively simple concepts of static valuation models and the benchmark pool, and take the reader through the more esoteric features of dynamic risk analysis, thus serving as both an excellent introduction for the beginner and an essential reference for the professional. In addition to participants in structured finance programs, this book will appeal to structured finance analysts and managers at banks, asset management companies, insurance companies, and a wide variety of other corporations.

Corporate Liability:A Study in Principles of Attribution

By: Cheong-Ann Png

When infringement or wrongdoing is alleged against a corporation, where are we to look for the imputed reprehensible conduct or knowledge on which the case must depend? This is a question that is asked and asked again as each expansion and intensification of corporate activity gives rise to ever more complex issues of accountability and responsibility. This major new theoretical study builds on classic and recent work in the field to provide a systematic and coherent analysis of corporate liability in its current context. Focusing on rules of attribution developed in a notable series of English cases, the author explains in detail the various ways in which these rules may be applied in civil, criminal, and regulatory proceedings against corporate defendants. The book exposes the circumstances in which corporations, as legal persons, may incur personal liability for the acts or omissions of their servants or agents that were carried out in the course of their employment, defining the means through which corporate liability must be determined. It focuses on the personal liability of corporations, incorporating common law principles of vicarious liability and agency as well as exceptions arising from the Companies Act 1985 and other legislation. The study covers such important areas as the following: the 'problem of many hands,' in which individual servants or agents may be aware of only a portion of a corporate transaction or undertaking the traditional 'directing mind' theory as one of the means of identifying the relevant individuals whose conduct or state of knowledge may result in corporate liability the development of 'principles of attribution' as a framework for approaching different situations where liability may be established against corporations a new concept of 'aggregation' which allows, under particular circumstances, the collective knowledge of various individuals to be attributed to the corporation the relevance of 'Chinese Walls' in limiting the extent to which principles of attribution apply a comprehensive survey of the different circumstances in which corporations, including holding corporations in corporate groups, and their servants and agents may incur liability. Corporate Liability: A Study in Principles of Attribution is far more than a mere legal device for practical purposes. It is in every way a groundbreaking work in the field, of absorbing interest to scholars, jurists, and lawyers alike.
