I fully arose from the now shallow depths of my slumber, and anxiety gave way to full-fledged panic. The events of last night [or last year- or the last lifetime] flooded my now too fully coherent consciousness. I immediately felt my abdomen, expecting to find a gaping maw where intestines previously resided. Nothing…

heard it from his trustworthy brother, one of the orderlies at division headquarters. He adopted the important air of a herald in red and gold. "We're goin' t' move t' morrah--sure," he said pompously to a group in the company street. "We're goin' 'way up the river, cut across, an' come around in behint 'em." To his attentive audience he drew a loud and elaborate plan of a very brilliant campaign. When he had finished, the blue-clothed men scattered into small arguing groups between the…

analysis, which assumes case (I)). Nonetheless, optimal monetary policy can still be implemented through a form of flexible inflation targeting, and it remains critical, even in the most pessimistic case (case (iii)), that inflation expectations (beyond some very short horizon) not be allowed to vary in response to shocks.

It is difficult for adults, especially teachers who often were good students themselves, to empathize with students who are not so well-behaved or cooperative. “Why would a child act that way?” “What will the class think if I let them get away with that?” “Are they trying to drive me crazy!” All these are very understandable reactions to students’ troubling words and actions. But in Carolyn Orange’s book, we get to…

identify and interpret important nonverbal communications accurately. Fortunately, with the help of some very gifted researchers and my practical experience as an FBI expert on nonverbal behavior, we can take a more direct approach to get you on your way. I have already identified those nonverbal behaviors that are most important, so you can put this unique knowledge to immediate use. We have also developed a paradigm or model that makes reading nonverbals easier. Even if you…

and T.M. Scanlon for their great help and advice in writing this paper. Throughout they have given me numerous suggestions, which I have gladly accepted. Above all, to Burton Dreben I am especially indebted: as so often before, he has been generous beyond measure in his efforts; in every section he has helped me reorganize and reshape the text, giving it a clarity and simplicity it would not otherwise have had. Without their constant advice and encouragement, and that of others mentioned…

A radical approach to promote sustainable system innovations A striking similarity between the most successful examples of sustainable urban development presented in this report (Copenhagen and Freiburg) is the radicalism in their aim for sustainable system changes. Both cities show a fundamental change in…
