Book Synopsis History of the IAU by : Adriaan Blaauw
Download or read book History of the IAU written by Adriaan Blaauw and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This History has its origin in a suggestion, made in September 1990 by former IAU General Secretary Derek McNally, who felt "that a 75 year history of the Union was needed before the col lective memory of those who knew the Union before the Second World War vanished. It would then be a preparatory volume to a centennial history in 2019. " Indeed, of those who knew the Union that long ago, few are still with us. Six years ago, at Baltimore on August 2, 1988, listening and reminiscing at the Inaugural Ceremonies of the Union's 20th General Assembly, I realized that it was almost exactly half a century ago that, at the age of 24, I attended the Inaugurations at my "first" Assembly: on August 3, 1938 in Stockholm. Now, in 1994, this is almost 56 years ago, three quarters of the Union's age. Only vague recollections - no better than that -lead me back to this event, just before World War II. And so, this is not a history based on recollection, far from it. Recollection was helpful in that it allowed me, better perhaps than a younger author, to appreciate circumstances under which the letters and reports which form the basis for this History were written. The account is largely based on archival documents, collected from a wide variety of sources.
Book Synopsis European Studies in Asia by : Georg Wiessala
Download or read book European Studies in Asia written by Georg Wiessala and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-03-21 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As countries across Asia continue to rise and become more assertive global powers, the role that Higher Education has played, and continues to play, in this process is an issue of growing pertinence. Furthermore, understanding the relationship between Europe and Asia fostered by historical and contemporary knowledge transfer, including Higher Education, is crucial to analysing and encouraging the progress of both regional integration and inter-regional cooperation. With a specific focus on international Higher Education, European Studies in Asia investigates knowledge transfer and channels of learning between Europe and Asia from historical, contemporary and teaching perspectives. The book examines a selection of significant historical precedents of intellectual dialogue between the two regions and, in turn, explores contemporary cross-regional discourses both inside and outside of the official frameworks of the European Union (EU) and the Asia--Europe Meetings (ASEM). Drawing on extensive case studies based on many of his own teaching experiences, Georg Wiessala addresses key questions, such as the nature and construction of the European Studies in Asia curriculum; aspects of ‘values’, co-constructed learning and adult pedagogy in the discipline of European Studies in Asia; the politics of Asian host cultures, the ‘internationalization’ of Asian Higher Education and the experiences and expectations of tertiary sector students of this subject in Asia, Australia and New Zealand. In doing so, the author articulates a range of outcomes for the further development of Higher Education cooperation agendas between Asia and Europe, in the discipline of European Studies, and in related fields such as International Relations. This case study-led book makes an original and novel contribution to our understanding of European Studies in Asia. As such, it will be of great interest to students and scholars of Asian Education, Comparative Education, European Studies and International Relations.

Download or read book Screens written by Dominique Chateau and published by Amsterdam University Press. This book was released on 2019-01-24 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in an era of screens. No longer just the place where we view movies, or watch TV at night, screens are now ubiquitous, the source of the majority of information we consume daily, and a crucial component of our basic interactions with colleagues, friends, and family. This transformation has happened almost without us realizing it-and certainly without the full theoretical and intellectual analysis it deserves. Screens brings together scholars from a variety of disciplines to analyse the growing presence and place of screens in our lives today. They tackle such topics as the archaeology of screens, film and media theories about our interactions with them, their use in contemporary art, and the new avenues they open up for showing films and other media in non-traditional venues.

Book Synopsis The Philobiblon by : Richard De Bury
Download or read book The Philobiblon written by Richard De Bury and published by Courier Dover Publications. This book was released on 2019-06-12 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Will always hold an honorable place for bibliophiles." — The University of Chicago Press One of the earliest treatises on the value of preserving neglected manuscripts, building a library, and book collecting, Richard De Bury's The Philobiblon was written in 1345 and circulated widely in manuscript form for over a century. The first printed edition appeared in Cologne in 1473, and several others soon followed as the invention of the printing press spread throughout the late Medieval world. The chapter titles of this legendary work reflect its nature, combining the author's love for and commitment to the importance of books and the knowledge they contain with thoughts on collecting them, lending them, teaching with them, and simply enjoying them: "That the Treasure of Wisdom is chiefly contained in books," "What we are to think of the price in the buying of books," "Who ought to be special lovers of books," and "Of the manner of lending all our books to students." The Prologue ends with the following thought: "And this treatise (divided into twenty chapters) will clear the love we have had for books from the charge of excess, will expound the purpose of our intense devotion, and will narrate more clearly than light all the circumstances of our undertaking. And because it principally treats of the love of books, we have chose after the fashion of the ancient Romans fondly to name it by a Greek word, Philobiblon." This volume offers modern bibliophiles a splendid edition of one of the first books ever to study, define, and, above all, praise their passion: the all-encompassing love of books.
Book Synopsis Stellar Populations (IAU S262) by : International Astronomical Union. Symposium
Download or read book Stellar Populations (IAU S262) written by International Astronomical Union. Symposium and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2010-04-29 with total page 488 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: IAU Symposium 262 presents reviews on the current understanding of the theories of stellar evolution, galaxy formation and galaxy evolution. It emphasises what we have learned in the past few years from massive surveys covering large portions of the sky (e.g. SDSS, HDF, UDF, GOODS, COSMOS). Several critical aspects of research on stellar populations deserve further effort in order to be brought in tune with other areas of astrophysical research. The next ten years will see the opening of major observatories that will increase the quality and quantity of astronomical data by orders of magnitude. The expected benefits from these instruments for the study of stellar populations are explored. This critical review of state of the art observational and theoretical work will appeal to all those working on stellar populations, from distant galaxies to local resolved galaxies and galactic star clusters.
Book Synopsis Turning Tides: Caribbean Intersections in the Americas and Beyond by : Heather Cateau
Download or read book Turning Tides: Caribbean Intersections in the Americas and Beyond written by Heather Cateau and published by Ian Randle Publishers. This book was released on 2019-02-21 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The essays in this volume are intended to reach beyond regions and compartmentalized disciplines, encompassing the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, and the arts. By placing all societies touched by the Caribbean Sea and Atlantic Ocean at the centre of Western Civilization discussions, this book hopes to broaden the horizons of what we call 'The Caribbean', both geographically and intellectually. Turning Tides includes revised proceedings from a collaborative International Conference between The University of the West Indies, St Augustine, Trinidad campus and Trinity College, Hartford, Connecticut, USA held in February 2016 in Trinidad, under the theme 'Turning Tides: Caribbean Intersections in the Americas and Beyond.' Reflecting the varied nature of the presentations made at the conference, the contributions in this volume range from artists' statements to peer-reviewed essays, culturally-influenced as well as peer-reviewed preliminary results of fresh collaborations. A noteworthy feature of the volume is the absence of any rigid barriers between artists, scholars and activists in the 19 essays, conversations and reports selected by the Editors for publication. Included are, Harvey Neptune's re-evaluation of CLR James' American Civizilization as a book that foretold the rise of a 'populist' autocratic leader in the United States, long before Trump. Christopher Laird provides a revealing outline of Banyan holdings, the largest cultural archive throughout the Caribbean while Heather Cateau explores the 400 year-old links between Connecticut and the Caribbean in the context of maritime enslavement.The notion of the Caribbean as a 'new Mediterranean' is examined by Gary Reger. Honduran historian Dario Euraque traces references to Afro-origins in Central American curricula and in somewhat similar vein Tony Hall argues for recognition of Marcus and Amy Garvey in societies ranging from Jamaica and Costa Rica to the US. Three outstanding feature presentations of the conference are represented here in Pablo Delano's introduction to his widely circulated installation The Museum of the Old Colony composed of self-parodying colonial photographs of Puerto Rico, and a conversation between renowned artists, Trinidad masman artist Peter Minshall and Cambodian-American performance artist Anida Yoeu Ali, moderated by Trinidadian Christopher Cozier. Other authors compare the UK Leeds Carnival to that of Trinidad; track the availablility of calypso music in the current market and look at the importance of David Rudder's Cricket Chronicles as cultural documents. Essays focus also on Hindu, Muslim, and Afro-Caribbean women in the diaspora who are treated both historically and fictionally while neuroscientists from Trinidad and the US analyze the link between culture and the process of memory, and psychiatrists from New York and Trinidad, writing with a historian, examine difficulties facing LGBTQ communities in the Caribbean and the US, from a freshly comparative focus. In presenting these contributions for a wider readership, the editors of Turning Tides are hopeful that they will provoke further transdisciplinary conversations about the instabilities, changes, developments, perspectives and future trends of what we call the Grand Caribbean.

Book Synopsis Sleeping Beauties by : Herbert W. Hesselmann
Download or read book Sleeping Beauties written by Herbert W. Hesselmann and published by Olms. This book was released on 2007 with total page 163 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Behind the walls of an old farm somewhere in France, several dozen antique classic cars had been neglected for decades, enjoying a kind of 100-year sleep. Surrounded by a profusion of plants and practically forgotten by their owner, no one knew of the collection until, in 1983, permission was granted for it to be photographed. The commission fell to one of Europe's leading photographers, Herbert W. Hesselmann, who promised never to disclose the identity of the owner or location of the collection, and the story made headlines all over the world. This haunting compilation expertly captures the mystery and drama of the vintage car collection of the century, and is accompanied with commentary by Halwart Schrader. Although the collection shown here no longer exists, the untouched patina of these cars still exerts a powerful and mysterious fascination, inviting viewers to explore a forgotten era.

Book Synopsis A Vision of Change for America by : United States. President (1993-2001 : Clinton)
Download or read book A Vision of Change for America written by United States. President (1993-2001 : Clinton) and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report was prepared to accompany President Clinton's first address to a Joint Session of Congress. It describes in detail the comprehensive economic plan being proposed by the new administration for the nation. The plan has three key elements: economic stimulus to create jobs now while laying the foundation for long-term economic growth; long term public investments to increase the productivity of people and businesses; and a balanced deficit-reduction plan to prevent the drain of private investments that generate jobs and increase incomes. The text is organized into four sections: (1) "A New Direction" (a brief 3-page preamble); (2) "A Legacy of Failure" (a 16-page statement of the problem, under subheadings such as "Skyrocketing Health Care Costs"); (3) "What We Must Now Do" (a 92-page statement of the solution, under subheadings such as "Investing in the Future: Reducing the Deficit To Increase Private Investment" and "Restoring Fairness"); and (4) "The Task Remaining" (a brief 6-page wrap-up). A closing Appendix contains 25 pages of statistical tables outlining various discretionary program savings, proposed changes to mandatory programs, stimulus proposals, investment proposals, and revenue and receipts proposals. Most tables provide figures for each year for the 6-year period 1993-1998. The field of education is touched upon in the report at six locations: (1) "Relative Earnings by Education for 25-34 Year Olds" (Chart 2-9, p. 18); (2) Chapter 1 Compensatory Education (p.31); (3) Pell Grants (p. 32); (4) "Lifelong Learning," covering full funding of Head Start and related child care funding and Medicaid, National Service, Dislocated Workers Program, Job Corps Expansion, Summer Youth Employment and Training Program, Youth Apprenticeship, and various Department of Education reforms and initiatives (p. 57-59); (5) Impact Aid "b" Projects (p. 87); and (6) Reform of Student Loan Programs (p. 92).
