Free Download Think to New Worlds: The Cultural History of Charles Fort and His Followers
English | 2024 | ISBN: 0226831485 | 394 Pages | PDF (True) | 27 MB
Flying saucers. Bigfoot. Frogs raining from the sky. Such phenomena fascinated Charles Fort, the maverick writer who scanned newspapers, journals, and magazines for reports of bizarre occurrences: dogs that talked, vampires, strange visions in the sky, and paranormal activity. His books of anomalies advanced a philosophy that saw science as a small part of a larger system in which truth and falsehood continually transformed into one another. His work found a ragged following of skeptics who questioned not only science but the press, medicine, and politics. Though their worldviews varied, they shared compelling questions about genius, reality, and authority. At the center of this community was adman, writer, and enfant terrible Tiffany Thayer, who founded the Fortean Society and ran it for almost three decades, collecting and reporting on every manner of oddity and conspiracy.

New Paradigm in Macroeconomics Solving the Riddle of Japanese Macroeconomic Performance


Free Download R. Werner, "New Paradigm in Macroeconomics: Solving the Riddle of Japanese Macroeconomic Performance"
English | 2005 | pages: 436 | ISBN: 1403920737, 1403920745 | PDF | 1,6 mb
Modern mainstream economics is attracting an increasing number of critics of its high degree of abstraction and lack of relevance to economic reality. Economists are calling for a better reflection of the reality of imperfect information, the role of banks and credit markets, the mechanisms of economic growth, the role of institutions and the possibility that markets may not clear. While it is one thing to find flaws in current mainstream economics, it is another to offer an alternative paradigm which, can explain as much as the old, but can also account for the many ‘anomalies’. That is what this book attempts. Since one of the biggest empirical challenges to the ‘old’ paradigm has been raised by the second largest economy in the world – Japan – this book puts the proposed ‘new paradigm’ to the severe test of the Japanese macroeconomic reality.

New Mobilities Regimes in Art and Social Sciences


Free Download Susanne Witzgall, "New Mobilities Regimes in Art and Social Sciences"
English | ISBN: 1409450929 | 2013 | 420 pages | EPUB | 22 MB
New Mobilities Regimes analyses how global mobilities are changing the world of today and the role of political and economic power. Bringing together essays by leading scholars and social scientists, including Mimi Sheller and Bülent Diken with the work of well-known artists and art theorists such as Jordan Crandall, Ursula Bieman, Gülsün Karamustafa and Dan Perjovschi this book is a unique document of the cross-disciplinary mobility and power discourse. The specific design, integrating the text and art elements to create a singular dialogue makes for an exciting intellectual and aesthetic experience. Illustrated by a range of studies which examine the regulation and structure of mobility, such as the daily routines of teleworkers, Ukrainian cleaners in Western Europe, the mobility policies of global corporations, and the impact of bicycle policies on public space, New Mobilities Regimes emphasizes the routes and crossroads of migration flows as well as at the interaction of mobility and new spatial concepts. The contributors are concerned with both the positive outcomes and the disappointments of the global mobilizations in modern lives. This book is ground-breaking in that it calls for the reassessment of the figurative arts in providing independent and insightful knowledge-generating research on the nature of mobility and highlights the new appreciation of visual representations in sociology, cultural geography and anthropology.
