From the author: I explore the timing of and effects of the U.S. financial crisis of the 1930s in a regime switching framework. Estimated conditional probabilities over the state of the financial sector suggest that a prolonged period of crisis begins not with the 1929 stock market crash, but with the first banking panic of October 1930. These probabilities also suggest that the crisis persists until the introduction of federal deposit insurance in early 1934. Consistent with the view that this financial crisis had real effects, these conditional probabilities contain additional explanatory power for output fluctuations. This is in addition to that provided by the money stock.

Book Description

White women and people of color now constitute the majority of the U.S. workforce, yet ninety-seven percent of senior managers of Fortune 500 and Fortune 1,000 industrial companies remain white men. It's clear that leaders of American organizations are requited to play key roles in a world that has become strange to them, says Cross. To succeed in an increasingly competitive global environment, our organizational leaders must have the courage to act "outside their comfort zones--to try to understand, interact with, motivate, develop, and retain a work force that is alien to them." Cross' book provides the practical assistance they need. Because racism, sexism, and other forms of oppression are not rational, help cannot be found wholly in rationalism. Such biases arise from emotional and psychological bases. Our leaders are thus forced to confront their barriers within barriers that exist at every level of their organization. Cross uses her own experiences as an African American woman and as an experienced, and recognized management consultant to demonstrate how oppression functions at the individual, group, and systems levels, but her book is not a memoir. Rather, it is a sophisticated explication of a complex and complete system of organizational change, with case studies and other useful aids, which, if fully grasped, will enable courageous leaders to succeed in understanding and dealing effectively with the urgent crosscultural and gender issues in the workplace.

Book Description

One out of every seven working age African Americans has an impairment that affects functioning in activities of daily living. These statistics suggest that most African Americans are touched by disability. This book examines the psychosocial aspects of disability and chronic illness using a culturally congruent framework. Chapters address prevalance, health and rehabilitation utilization patterns, the role of culture, empirical research, and strategies for improving mental health and functional outcomes. This book will be useful to professionals who work with people with disabilities, policymakers, and consumers, as well as faculty and students in rehabilitation, health, and African American courses.

Book Description

How did a 184 pound, basketball-sized sphere that was launched into space at the height of the Cold War in 1957 change the face of politics, national security, international prestige, and scientific advancement? In this collection of essays, the editors delve into the launching of Sputnik 1 and how this shocking and symbolic achievement changed the world.
This book explores Russia's stunning success of ushering in the space age by launching Sputnik and beating the United States into space. It also examines the formation of NASA, the race for human exploration of the moon, the reality of global satellite communications, and a new generation of scientific spacecraft that began exploring the universe. An introductory essay by Pulitzer Prize winner Walter A. McDougall sets the context for Sputnik and its significance at the end of the twentieth century.

Book Description

Over the past 25 years, the molecular electrostatic potential has become firmly established as an effective guide to molecular interactions. With the recent advances in computational technology, it is currently being applied to a variety of important chemical and biological systems. Its range of applicability has expanded from primarily a focus on sites for electrophilic and nucleophilic attack to now include solvent effects, studies of zeolite, molecular cluster and crystal behavior, and the correlation and prediction of a wide range of macroscopic properties. Moreover, the increasing prominence of density functional theory has raised the molecular electrostatic potential to a new stature on a more fundamental conceptual level. It is rigorously defined in terms of the electron density, and has very interesting topological characteristics since it explicitly reflects opposing contributions from the nuclei and the electrons.

This volume opens with a survey chapter by one of the original pioneers of the use of the electrostatic potential in studies of chemical reactivity, Jacopo Tomasi. Though the flow of the succeeding chapters is not stringently defined, the overall trend is that the emphasis changes gradually from methodology to applications. Chapters discussing more theoretical topics are placed near the end. Readers will find the wide variety of topics provided by an international group of authors both convincing and useful.

Description:
Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a group of important persistent organic pollutants. In the present study, geometrical optimization and electrostatic potential calculations have been performed for all 209 PBDE congeners at the HF/6-31G^* level of theory. A number of statistically-based parameters have been obtained. Linear relationships between gas-chromatographic relative retention time (RRT), n-octanol/air partition coefficient (lgK"O"A), 298K supercooled liquid vapour pressures (lgp"L), Henry's law constant (lgH) and Ah receptor binding affinity (-lgRBA) of PBDEs and the structural descriptors have been established by multiple regression method. The result shows that the quantities derived from electrostatic potential V"s","m"a"x,V"s","m"i"n,@P,@?V"s^+,V"s^-@?,@n,@s"t"o"t^2, and N"v^-, together with the molecular volume (V"m"c) can be well used to express the quantitative structure-property relationships of PBDEs, which proves the general applicability of this parameter set to a great extent. Good predictive capabilities have also been demonstrated. Based on these equations, the predicted values have been presented for those PBDE congeners whose experimentally determined physicochemical properties are unavailable. The QSAR model for the Ah receptor binding affinity is relatively poor, which can be ascribed to the complexity of factors which affect biological activity and the limitations of the present parameter set in describing steric characters of the molecule.

San Francisco Realism.......2005-09-27

An funny and tragic book. It shouldn't be neglected, it is part of the canon the way an american tragedy is. realism. humor. social observation. beautiful san fransisco, and then the deserts of cormac macathy, the treasure of the sierra madre and the wages of fear. highly recommended!

Great book!.......2000-06-21

Hello there. First of all I should say that I saw the movie first and then I read the book. The movie it was based exactly like the book, with the same scenes, the director (strohein) he even made the movie just like the book. But the producer cutted it, because it was 8 hours of length. The book talks about Mc Teague a dentist who falls in love of one of his patients, the cousin of his best friend, and his best friend helped him to get married. And after this she wins the lottery and there it start an history of love, poor, greed, traitors and death. Good book to read, and great move to watch.

Something of a cult classic, McTeague was one of the founding works of unflinching realism and naturalism in American writing. McTeague was first published in 1899; this new Modern Library edition brackets the book's 100-year journey through literary consciousness, from its first splash as a rather lurid literary sensation in its retelling of a true-life crime in turn-of-the-century San Francisco, to its renewed popularity among modern readers.

Book Description

Frank Norris' graphic portrayal of the seamy side of survival in turn-of-the-century urban America remains shocking and powerful today -and its conclusion just as harrowing.

The raw view.......2007-02-13

I purchased this book because mty daughter was reading it in college. I was not familiar with either the title or the author, but a quick web search allowed me to rectify that shortcoming quickly. It is a gut wrenching view into the early city life of San Francisco. Marriage, money, and ignorance are the main charaters presented through names that soon become the face of the story.

Norris, the realist, doesn't waste time on the way the world could be, and he doesn't even really speculate on the way things are; he rather cuts to the reality of the time and, like a snapshot, gives us that which an observant eye would see if present. The violent ignorance manifested by the characters stuns, and I was amazed and dismayed by the actions of individuals I had become close to through the events of the story.

Be forewarned, those sensitive to sterotypical descriptions of race will be shocked, and those without patience for the actions of brutally ignorant settlers will be sickened. Nevertheless, for a picture of the probable behavior of the settlers of the west, this is a fine read.

A must read.......2006-12-06

I agree with the reviewers below. This is a superb read that with stay with you for a long time. I read it on my own as an adult but agree it should be part of a classic literature curriculum.

American parable.......2006-09-04

H L Mencken believed "McTeague" to be the great American novel and it surely is the principal American parable. A giant golden tooth and a gilded canary cage are just two symbols of greed in this rich novel. Published in 1899 this work by Frank Norris reminds of Emile Zola's writing in realism and artistry. Norris takes the reader from Polk street San Francisco to Death Valley in this brilliant depiction of avarice. Erich von Stroheim's silent film "Greed" is based on McTeague, unfortunately the whole 9 1/2 hour film is no longer extant. The novel is funny at times like when Marcus is pontificating to McTeague: "It's the capitalists that's ruining the cause of labor," shouted Marcus, banging the table with his fist till the beer glasses danced; "white-livered drones, traitors, with their livers white as snow, eatun the bread of widows and orphuns; there's where the evil lies." Stupefied with his clamor, McTeague answered, wagging his head: "Yes, that's it; I think it's their livers." The gentle love story of Old Grannis and Miss Baker shows how simple contentment can be and serves as an an antithesis to the rest of the book. "and the two old people sat there in the gray evening, quietly, quietly, their hands in each other's hands, "keeping company," Early in the book Mcteague has dreams of oral opulence: "It was his ambition, his dream, to have projecting from that corner window a huge gilded tooth, a molar with enormous prongs, something gorgeous and attractive. He would have it some day, on that he was resolved;" Trina his fiancee buys this grand tooth for him and gives it to him as a gift. As the McTeagues descend into financial ruin he clings to this object. When he finally does decide to sell all he can get for it is five dollars, if sown under a large enough pillow the tooth fairy would have left more for this gargantuan grinder. The gilded molar is not only a symbol of his success as a dentist, but also the love he and his wife once shared. The Buddha said desire was the cause of suffering maybe that should be translated greed, the desire for more than you need. Most of the characters in this novel mine the ore of suffering with their cupidity and as they struggle to acquire they become possessed.

McTeague: The World Is A Stacked Deck.......2006-08-11

One of the reasons that people read novels is to explore why human beings do what they do. These reasons flow in surges that go in and out of vogue. By the beginning of the twentieth century, the current vogue was Naturalism, a philosophy of life that suggests that people are preprogrammed by their environment to such an extent that one can accurately predict the outcome.

In MCTEAGUE, Frank Norris absorbed the biological imperatives of Charles Darwin into the economic choke-hold of Karl Marx and wrote a novel of a hulking unlicensed dentist who goes through life smashing all obstacles with his hamlike fists early enough and often enough so that the reader feels sure that this dentist (McTeague) will wind up at the mercy of the very elements that he tried so hard to conquer.

The novel opens with the revelation that McTeague is a brute who chose dentistry as a profession despite the fact that he barely understood the medical books of his field. He meets and marries Trina, a good woman who mistakes McTeague's size and stupidity for passion and permanence. McTeague's married life is a straight line progression from worse to worst, all of which was eminently predictable from the opening pages. One gets the feeling that McTeague remains a mystery, despite his punishing appearance on nearly every page. Why, one further wonders, does he do things the way he does. Norris provides no ready answers, but he suggests that McTeague is a ubiquitous force of nature, one that is more easily noticed than explained. Sigmund Freud had not yet appeared to offer deeper analyses of the human psyche so naturalistic writers like Frank Norris were left with rationales that equated with the natural world around them. Darwin and his struggle of the fittest made it easier for readers to see McTeague as somehow fitter to survive than the victims of his rage. Marx and his economic determinism made it equally easier for readers to grasp the fact that one's freedom to move was limited by where on the economic pecking order one stood. By the end of the novel, a handcuffed McTeague, alone in the unforgiving desert, was a stark reminder that the power of nature to twist man into a pretzel was one that resonated with Norris' readers such that they could see McTeague's final plight more as a peek into their own future than into his. Today's readers leave MCTEAGUE with much the same morbid thoughts.

Mcteague Review.......2005-11-01

This book is about a huge man named Mcteague, who is a dentist in San Francisco. Around the time the city was recently founded. His rather boring and routine way of life is drastically changed when his best, and only real friend Marcus Schouler introduces Mcteague to his cousin Trina, Who Marcus is secretly in love with. Over time Mcteague begins to like Trina more and more, and eventually he begins to love her. I wont give away all of the book so you'll just have to read the book.
This story shows some of the deepest human emotions; love, fear, hate, greed, and many others. Most of these emotions can be tracked back to the same source, but I'm not going to give away what the source is. Lets me just say that it turns Mcteague's dull little dentist's world upside down.
This story has a colorful cast of characters, from a gold loving pawnshop owner to an insane maid. Each character is very unique, and some are very unusual.
The story takes place mostly in a small, humble dentists parlor on a somewhat busy residential street that had several small shops in San Francisco, California, when the town was still young. The streets name was Polk Street.
I would recommend this book to pretty much everyone. Even though it takes a while to get into the book. The book takes a look into the deepest emotions of people.
