Book Description

The contributors explore a series of key issues and questions, including: How do we explain the animation explosion of the 1960s? Why did it take nearly twenty years following the cancellation of The Flintstones for animation to find its feet again as primetime fare? In addressing these questions, as well as many others, essays in the first section examine the relation between earlier, made-for-cinema animated production (such as the Warner Looney Toons shorts) and television-based animation; the role of animation in the economies of broadcast and cable television; and the links between animation production and brand image. Contributors also examine specific programs like The Powerpuff Girls, Daria, The Simpsons, Ren and Stimpy and South Park from the perspective of fans, exploring fan cybercommunities, investigating how ideas of "class" and "taste" apply to recent TV animation, and addressing themes such as irony, alienation, and representations of the family.

It's a book. No, it's a game!.......2005-10-26

This is volume 9 in a set of books produced by TSR as one of their many, many innovative efforts to keep their RPG (Role Playing Game) ball rolling.

Anyone familiar with the Choose your Own Adventure books will recognize the basic format. Every page or two, the book gives you some sort of choice, and you flip to a different section of the book based on what decision you make. Because different readers make different choices, the book can provide a whole host of stories based on the interaction.

These Adventure Gamebooks go one step further (and write the prose a bit better). In this book, you not only make decisions, but you also roll dice to determine the outcome of the things you attempt to do. In the beginning, your dice rolls give the main character different attributes (such as great strength, or great wisdom, for example), and the character's scores in these areas might facilitate dealing with a problem that crops up in the book.

One appeal of this type of book is that, for gaming geeks, it can be difficult to get a game going, requiring as it does many hours of participation from several people. Adventure Gamebooks represent a chance to scratch that RPG itch without needing a friend to play with.

This particular book is the second in a trilogy within the series, which marks another improvement over the Choose Your Own Adventure books. The Kingdom of Sorcery trilogy follows the adventures of Carr Delling. It's more fun than some of the other books in the series because there is a broad array of spells that can be cast, which adds some flavor.

I'd recommend these books to the person who has enjoyed the D&D or Choose Your Own Adventure experience. They're a neat idea, even if they never really took off.

Truly an extraordinary book...........2006-12-12

Without question one of my all time favorite books. Nehru wrote the book while in prison with the idea that it is what he would have imparted to his daughter Indira (Ghandi)were he at home with her. Despite some very minor factual errors (precise dates, etc.), the fact that the book was written under prison conditions, without any available reference material available to him, speaks to Nehru's incredible mind and grasp of history, as well as to the depth of his love for his young daughter. I find it to be one of the most remarkable works ever written and have given it as a gift more times than I can count. How many current world "leaders" do you think could produce something even close?

Glimpses of World History of Nehru.......2005-06-14

I am a employee by Border. so you can send it to one of Border bookstore at Nashville Tennessee on the west end bookstore, then I will pay for it. thank you for your nice cooperation at this matter. so please send me the right one Ii is almost 992 pages with thin paper(biblic paper). This book is my favore book. whom it has been written by a great peaceful and a stronge writer and beloved leader of Indian country which Nehru and Ghandi led a bloodless revolution at this time against England Empire.
I had this book but I lost it. so please send me back it.
Thank you very much for your nice cooperation at this matter.

History by a history maker.......2004-03-15

Nehru himself calls the book as "Ramblings", given the background that book is a compilation of a whole bunch(196) of lengthy letters to his daughter, Indira Priyadarshini, during his stay in various goals across British Raj (which made him rely on memory than references). His main aim was to introduce his lovely daughter to the world but NOT to be a historian. He starts from the pre-Indus Valley civilization days and ends just before the dawn of WW II in this 971-page book. The book, apart from being journal of events in history, talks about opinions of Nehru on various events with more weightage to his favorite ones.
The book with Nehru's democratic spirit, his scietific and rational approach, his masterly narration with a poetic temper and his control over the language make the book immensely readable

A great book.......2002-01-24

Nehru was in prison when he wrote these series of letters. His vision of history and of contemporary events had a sweep and genuineness that had nothing to do with pleasing powerful allies, or with wooing of voters. Nehru's views on secularism and Palestine -so passionately expressed in the early thirties- give lie to the Hindutva propaganda that these are "pseudo" positions cunningly devised with Muslim "vote bank" in mind.

Today, it is fashionable to hold that a nation's foreign policy is to be decided based on "self-interest" rather than on lofty principles and the like. As if there is a great contradiction between self-interest and principles. Indeed when principles are given the go by, and the game is played exclusively with an eye on each player's self-interest; it is obvious that the only interest that would be served is that of the most powerful among the players. It is definitely not in the self-interest of the poorer and weaker nations of the world to abandon principles. But this paradox is quite lost on the petty minds that fashion our foreign and trade policies, 50 years after independence.

On Palestine this is what he wrote on May 29, 1933, "The people inhabiting it are predominantly Muslim Arabs, and they demand freedom and unity with their fellow Arabs of Syria. But British policy has created a special minority problem here- that of the Jews- and the Jews side with the British and oppose the freedom of Palestine, as they fear that this would mean Arab rule".

About the Jews, spread and persecuted in Europe and other parts of the world, Nehru wrote, "And yet these amazing people not only survived all this, but managed to keep their racial and cultural characteristics, and prospered and produced a host of great men. Today they hold leading positions as scientists, statesmen, literary men, financiers, businessmen, and even the greatest socialists and communists have been Jews. Most of them, of course are far from prosperous; they crowd in the cities of Eastern Europe and, from time to time, suffer "pogroms" or massacres. These people without home or country, and especially the poor among them, have never ceased to dream of old Jerusalem, which appears to their imaginations greater and more magnificent than it ever was in fact. Zion, they call Jerusalem, a kind of Promised Land, and Zionism is this call of the past, which pulls them to Jerusalem and Palestine.

Towards the end of the nineteenth century this Zionist movement took gradual shape as a colonizing movement, and many Jews went to settle in Palestine... During the World War the British armies invaded Palestine and, as they were marching on Jerusalem, the British Government made a declaration in November 1917 called the Balfour Declaration. They declared that it was their intention to establish a `Jewish National Home' in Palestine. This declaration was made to win the good will of international Jewry, and it was important from the money point of view... But there was one little drawback; one not unimportant fact seems to have been overlooked. Palestine was not a wilderness. Or an empty uninhabited place. It was already somebody else's home. So that this generous gesture of the British Government was really at the expense of the people who already lived in Palestine, and these people, including Arabs, non-Arabs, Muslims, Christians, and, in fact, everybody who was not a Jew, protested vigorously at the declaration."

Let us take another example of intellectual regress since the days of Nehru. Today's peddlers of "Globalization" would have us believe that inviting foreign investments is the "mantra" that can deliver the third world from poverty and backwardness. If indeed it is a fact that within the structures of capitalism and "free" trade, the nations of the third world can attain prosperity, then what was the raison detr? of the British Empire? Why did the Empire emerge as an instrument of economic exploitation, in the first place - if there was such a simple means for Britain to get and stay rich, without exploiting her colonies? Wasn't the East India Company the ultimate in "foreign investments"?

To quote what Nehru wrote on February 28, 1933, "...In this way, the American capitalists gained effective control of these smaller countries of the south and ran their banks, railways, and mines, and exploited them to their own advantage. Even in the larger countries of Latin America they had great influence because of their investments and money control. That is to say, the United States annexed the wealth, or a great part of it, of these countries. Now, this is worth noting, as it is a new kind of empire, the modern type of empire. It is invisible and economic, and exploits and dominates without any obvious outward signs. The South American republics are politically and internationally free and independent. On the map they are huge counties, and there is nothing to show that they are not free in any way. And yet most of them are dominated completely by the United States.

Most of us think of empires... like the British in India, and we imagine that if the British were not in actual political control of India, India would be free. But this type of empire is already passing away, and giving way to a more advanced and perfected type. This latest kind of empire does not annex even the land; it only annexes the wealth or the wealth producing elements in the country. By doing so it can exploit the country fully to its own advantage and can largely control it, and at the same time has to shoulder no responsibility for governing and repressing that country. In effect both the land and the people living there are dominated and largely controlled with the least amount of trouble."

Concise book on World History ever written but..........2000-07-12

I have read this book few years back.

Inspite of the greatness of Nehru's knowledge I have to mention the following contradictions. I would let the readers make their own judgement on these.

He abhored dynastic politics and vehemently supported democracy. Its ironic that his descendants practised dynastic politics, imposed emergency in 1975, created ripples in Punjab and were known for other notorious activities such as the one in Naxalbari. Height of irony is that this book, chapters within the book are letters written to his daughter Indira Gandhi who was primarily responsible for "institutionalising corruption" and "corrupting the institutions".

I find it surprising that he was a secular person based on his utterances in the book. Nehru's family is known to have strongest dislike for the Sikhs and Hindus. But this book doesn't portray that.

Nehru's love for socialism is projected in the first few pages when he talks about the origination of class with the invention of agriculture.

I am currently taking Diff EQ and this book is not helpful at all. It shows very few examples and skips too many steps. I am very frustrated with this book and would not recommend it to people taking this course for the first time

Best Concise Book on D.E........2000-06-10

There are other short books on ordinary differential equations. This may be the best. It's title is quite on target. This book is short and it covers the important topics of D.E. Bear is one of the best writers in analysis (his other books are on real analysis). It pays off here. Especially at this price, every student taking O.D.E. should have this book.

Stochastic Partial Differential Equations (CHAPMAN & HALL/CRC APPLIED MATHEMATICS & NONLINEAR SCIENCE)

Accessories:

ASIN: 3540707808

Book Description

These lectures concentrate on (nonlinear) stochastic partial differential equations (SPDE) of evolutionary type. All kinds of dynamics with stochastic influence in nature or man-made complex systems can be modelled by such equations. To keep the technicalities minimal we confine ourselves to the case where the noise term is given by a stochastic integral w.r.t. a cylindrical Wiener process.But all results can be easily generalized to SPDE with more general noises such as, for instance, stochastic integral w.r.t. a continuous local martingale.

There are basically three approaches to analyze SPDE: the "martingale measure approach", the "mild solution approachâ€ and the "variational approach". The purpose of these notes is to give a concise and as self-contained as possible an introduction to the "variational approachâ€. A large part of necessary background material, such as definitions and results from the theory of Hilbert spaces, are included in appendices.

Book Description

Community-based forest management (CBFM) is a model of forest management in which a community takes part in decision making and implementation, and monitoring of activities affecting the natural resources around them. CBFM provides a framework for a community members to secure access to the products and services that flow from the landscape in which they live and has become an essential component of any comprehensive approach to forest management.

In this volume, Nicholas K. Menzies looks at communities in China, Zanzibar, Brazil, and India where, despite differences in landscape, climate, politics, and culture, common challenges and themes arise in making a transition from forest management by government agencies to CBFM. The stories of these four distinct places highlight the difficulties communities face when trying to manage their forests and negotiate partnerships with others interested in forest management, such as the commercial forest sector or conservation and environmental organizations. These issues are then considered against a growing body of research concerning what constitutes successful CBFM.

Drawing on published and unpublished case studies, project reports, and his own rich experience, Menzies analyzes how CBFM fits into the broader picture of the management of natural resources, highlighting the conditions that bring about effective practices and the most just and equitable stewardship of resources. A critical companion for students, researchers, and practitioners, Our Forest, Your Ecosystem, Their Timber provides a singular resource on the emergence and evolution of CBFM.
