Book Description
What is creativity, and where does it come from? Creativity and Development explores the fascinating connections and tensions between creativity research and developmental psychology, two fields that have largely progressed independently of each other-until now. In this book, scholars influential in both fields explore the emergence of new ideas, and the development of the people and situations that bring them to fruition. The uniquely collaborative nature of Oxford's Counterpoints series allows them to engage in a dialogue, addressing the key issues and potential benefits of exploring the connections between creativity and development. Creativity and Development is based on the observation that both creativity and development are processes that occur in complex systems, in which later stages or changes emerge from the prior state of the system. In the 1970s and 1980s, creativity researchers shifted their focus from personality traits to cognitive and social processes, and the co-authors of this volume are some of the most influential figures in this shift. The central focus on system processes results in three related volume themes: how the outcomes of creativity and development emerge from dynamical processes, the interrelation between individual processes and social processes, and the role of mediating artifacts and domains in developmental and creative processes. The chapters touch on a wide range of important topics, with the authors drawing on their decades of research into creativity and development. Readers will learn about the creativity of children's play, the creative aspects of children's thinking, the creative processes of scientists, the role of education and teaching in creative development, and the role of multiple intelligences in both creativity and development. The final chapter is an important dialogue between the authors, who engage in a roundtable discussion and explore key questions facing contemporary researchers, such as: Does society suppress children's creativity? Are creativity and development specific to an intelligence or a domain? What role do social and cultural contexts play in creativity and development? Creativity and Development presents a powerful argument that both creativity scholars and developmental psychologists will benefit by becoming more familiar with each other's work.

Ethiopian Creativity.......2001-12-25
This is an excellent book for those concerned about art in Christian and African forms. It gives concise backgound information on everything from goldsmithing to painting to textiles. It shows the rich history of a country and culture that was never colonized by a European power. I recommend this book for anyone who wants a different angle on art, culture and Africa.

Book Description
One of the major - and complicating - characteristics of the antique Middle East is the interconnection between the Semitic and Greco-Roman cultures. The current volume brings together studies which relate to the multi-cultural traditions of papyrus writing, with special attention regarding the linguistic, literary, and cultural features of these, often documentary texts.
Originally presented at a conference in honour of the retirement of Professor Baruch A. Levine, Skirball Professor Emeritus of Biblical and Ancient Near Eastern Studies (New York University).
Important for students of the Greco-Roman world and the Near East in Late Antiquity.

BOMB.......2000-09-14
Like a lot of movies it has maybe one good scene. Advice on working with actord is basically correct. Advice on how to cut budget is puching it. One thing most people learn is to NOT edit in the camera, but to have a well planned shoot with the option to shoot throw aways. While other authors use award winning, audience pleasing, well-known films, she opted to use less than memorable work.
Surprisingly disappointing.......2000-03-11
What surprised me most about this book is how much information the author simply gets wrong. Some of it is technical and possibly not that important for a director to know (a cinematorgrapher once told me a famous director I won't name could not even comprehend the basics of photography), but some is fundamental, such as how to handle basic screen direction continuity. Other places the writing isn't clear enough to know whether the author is offering useful advice or not. That said, the book has some merits, including some sensible advice on directing actors. It might be worth while as supplemental reading, provided one takes what is says with a grain of salt, but it would be serious mistake to try to direct a film based only on what is in this book. A much better choice would be Sidney Lumet's Making Movies or Gaspard & Newton's Persistence of Vision (both of these aren't just informative but a real joy to read). Also, pretty much anything by Michael Wiese would merit a look.
Not all that great.......2000-02-14
When I first picked up this book I thought it would be a sound read. Well, I was wrong; while not a horrible book it is rather outdated, dealing with such things as Moviolas and splicing film all of which is dissolving from an increasingly technological industry. Also, take a look at some of the films this "filmmaker" has made - Jungle Trap, Exterminator II. I didn't have the courage to watch them, but instead visited the internet movie database, found a review of the latter film by Leonard Maltin, who gave it a rating of "BOMB". As much as I can appreciate the author's experience making movies, I find it silly to be taking advice on how to make films from someone who has been working "in the industry" for over a decade and has not had one commerical, or (apparently) critical success. Even the technical stuff gets old after awhile. Do yourself a favor and go read Robert Rodriguez's Ten Minute Film School (or whatever it's called), and avoid this outdated book, written by someone who really has about as much place giving advice to other filmmakers as I do.
Book Description
Recursive methods offer a powerful approach for characterizing and solving complicated problems in dynamic macroeconomics. Recursive Macroeconomic Theory provides both an introduction to recursive methods and advanced material, mixing tools and sample applications. The second edition contains substantial revisions to about half the original material, and extensive additional coverage appears in seven chapters new to this edition. The updated and added material covers exciting new topics that further illustrate the power and pervasiveness of recursive methods.
Significant improvements to original chapters include a better treatment of the existence of recursive equilibria, an enhanced account of the supermartingale convergence theorem, and an extended treatment of an optimal taxation problem in an economy in which there are incomplete markets. Completely new coverage in the second edition includes an introductory chapter, which gives an overview of the themes uniting the diverse topics treated throughout the book. Two new chapters offer a self-contained account of the optimal growth model and some of its basic applications in macroeconomics and public finance. Other new chapters cover such topics as how to formulate and compute Stackelberg or Ramsey plans in linear economies, sustainable risk-sharing equilibria without commitment, and the application of recursive contracts to topics in international trade. Most chapters conclude with exercises and the book includes two technical appendixes covering functional analysis and control and filtering.

A book for Econometricians rather than Macroeconomists.......2004-10-30
The book is certainly written by distinguished people, but it seems to me that their focus in writting this book was more to exhibit mathematical methods to solve problems rather than discuss the problems themselves. Apparently the book is meant for training mathematical skills in dynamic programming, and prepare you for computer simulations of macroeconomic problems. But don't use it for understanding macroeconomics.
In general, the authors get into mathematical discussions that divert attention from the problem itself, and at the same time they don't explain why they are doing all these. Reading the book needs a lot of background knowledge and self-intuition. Apart from that some chapters are educational and fit for class work.
The first chapters cover mathematical basics about random process and Markov chains and estimation. They are the good chapters. The chapters on partial equilibrium, complete markets ad incomplete markets are also the ones that are noramlly used in class lectures. The book's coverage of consumption theory and economic growth is weak and insufficient. I would recommend Romer or Blanchard&Fisher book for that. The chapter on search and job matching is also simplistic and again not enough. In most of the chapters, technicality dominates concepts, so having a complementary textbook can be great help.
For one thing, the book has a lot of misprints and mistakes too, which seem to be fixed in the newer edition.
get it free.......2004-05-17
This is a great book. But you can download the second addition free on Sargent's website, so I wouldn't recommend buying it.
Perfect book.......2003-09-12
This is a perfect book for three reasons; i) it is perfect for those who wish to learn modern macroeconomics. The book develops necessary knowledge and tools to be applied to dynamic economics, ii) Sargent is one of most prominent and leading macroeconomists of the world, and he should be Nobel prize winner in Economics, iii) the book is published by MIT.
Not for beginners.......2003-04-01
When I recently left my job as cryer in a grim, north-eastern town, I was made the head of recursive macroeconomic theory at a major international bank. I could have done with a simpler introduction than this, to be honest, as my knowledge of RMT was limited. But now I hold my own in meetings simply by spouting a few long words from this book (mainly "macroeconomic" and "recursive" - theory doesn't seem to impress as much) and delegating to underlings.
Not the first book in Dynamic Macro, but excellent afterward.......2002-12-02
The first time i read the book, i'm sure this should not be the first text book for Dynamic Macroeconomics everyone should read. It's better to read somewhere else as an introduction to the idea of dynamic macroeconomics. Romer 'Advanced Macroeconomics' and Stokey, Lucas, Prescott 'Recursive Methods' are more appropriate to start. After gainning some similarity with Dynamic Methods, it would be much better to study models about macroeconomics presented in the book.
This book is the presentations of various models using Dynamic / Recursive Macroeconomics. It makes them easier and time-saving to study many kinds of model in a semester. It's GOOD & HELPFUL IN THIS SENSE. However, it might not be a good book for study in depth. You are better to study from the original papers for the same topics.
I think, this book is similar to Tirole 'Theory of Industrial Organization' in spirit, but different in content. They both show the simplified version of various models in the fields.
If you think you like this style, you would like to have it. But if you don't, it might be better just to skim (from the library) and read the original papers.
Hope this comment would be helpful for you to make a decision :)

Book Description
This book examines the main areas of interest in Marxian economics, paying particular attention to class conflict, analytical Marxism and game theory. Very few books can claim to cover the areas that this book does with such clarity, academic rigour and originality. Its study of game theory and Marxism makes it a particularly unique book that will interest a wider variety of economists and social scientists than would normally be the case.

Banking on Alaska.......2002-02-09
This is a very well-written look at what was the largest financial organization in Alaska. I recommend this to anyone who is interested in economics, economic history, and finance, especially oriented around Alaska, the northwest US, or America in general.

Great Resource For Speakers And Inspiration.......2003-01-24
I speak for a living and one of the toughest things can be to find the "just right" quote to embody the main ideal of your presentation. Most quotes book collections and online quote sites make you have to filter through tons of useless stuff to find the jewel you were looking for. This book focuses on quotes that are the very best for use in the workoplace and organizes them by subject matter. Simply put, I find what I'm looking for faster and easier with this book than in other places.

Book Description
Your business card is usually the first tangible thing a customer/client will take with him or her after meeting you. Does it communicate the message you want it to? G. Lee Mikules offers guidelines on how to get the most from your card- from design to distribution.
Everyone is concerned about what is important to them before they are concerned about anything else. And you, as the one who hands them out, must realize that your ego will clash with that of the person who receives your card...
The person you hand your card to does not care about your name or the fact that you have been in business for 25 years, or that you have every credential possible, and so forth.
The only thing he is interested in is what your business, product, or service can do for him. Will it save or make him money? Will it feed his ego?
You have to distill the essence of what your business is, and, most importantly, what it can do for your customer into a concise, benefit-oriented, hard-hitting sales message. Then put that message front and centre on your card!

Save Your Money.......2007-03-19
This book's only good advise comes down to the one thing anyone involved in selling should have developed for themselves to use when meeting someone - and anyone who has had any sales training at all will know what that is. His book is so fundmental and basic and doesn't even get around to the "nuts and bolts" (such as it is) of how to create and use a business card effectively until almost half way through the book. There are a few lame exercises to do - which, since he doesn't provide any feedback on them, you won't know if you have learned what was intended.
