The economy is tough -- but understanding macroeconomics doesn't
have to be. In fact, opening the world of economics can be exciting
with Arnold's popular MACROECONOMICS, 14E. Economic tools, new
thinking and theories show you how macroeconomic forces impact
daily events and form an important part of life 24/7. Current,
everyday macroeconomic examples and updated discussions and
learning features illustrate many unexpected places economics can
occur. You learn what money is and isn't, how supply and demand
play out on a freeway, how a person pays for good weather and why
some countries are rich while others are poor. A new chapter
examines the economic forces behind creative destruction and crony
capitalism. Revised coverage of the Federal Reserve System reviews
changes in monetary policy. Digital video lectures and digital
features guide you in understanding macroeconomic diagrams and
building graphs, while online MindTap, Aplia and A+ Test Prep help
you assess your understanding.
The economy is tough -- but understanding microeconomics doesn’t
have to be. In fact, opening the world of economics can be exciting
with Arnold's popular MICROECONOMICS, 14E. Economic tools, new
thinking and theories show you how microeconomic forces impact
daily events and form an important part of life 24/7. Current,
everyday microeconomic examples and updated discussions and
learning features illustrate many unexpected places economics can
occur. You learn how supply and demand play out on a freeway, what
a business cycle is, how a person pays for good weather and even
why U-Haul rates are higher going from New York to Texas than from
Texas to New York. Two new chapters examine health economics and
economic research, including casual inference and machine learning.
Digital video lectures and digital features guide you in
understanding economic diagrams and building graphs, while online
MindTap, Aplia and A+ Test Prep help you assess your understanding
of microeconomics.

This book is a lively, comprehensive and timely reader on the music
video, capitalising on cross-disciplinary research expertise, which
represents a substantial academic engagement with the music video,
a mediated form and practice that still remains relatively
under-explored in a 21st century context. The music video has
remained suspended between two distinct poles. On the one hand, the
music video as the visual sheen of late capitalism, at the
intersection of celebrity studies and postmodernism. On the other
hand, the music video as art, looking to a prehistory of
avant-garde film-making while perpetually pushing forward the
digital frontier with a taste for anarchy, controversy, and the
integration of special effects into a form designed to be
disseminated across digital platforms. In this way, the music video
virally re-engenders debates about high art and low culture. This
collection presents a comprehensive account of the music video from
a contemporary 21st century perspective. This entails revisiting
key moments in the canonical history of the music video, exploring
its articulations of sexuality and gender, examining its
functioning as a form of artistic expression between music, film
and video art, and following the music video's dissemination into
the digital domain, considering how digital media and social media
have come to re-invent the forms and functions of the music video,
well beyond the limits of "music television".

As mothers, we understand the plight of parents when that certain
age hits, and it is time to take away one of our child's prized
possessions. Giving up the "binky," "paci," or "dummy" can be a
struggle for even the most patient of nurturers. We have found a
way to make this experience a joyful and adventurous journey. With
a rhyming pattern and easy-to-read format, this wondrous children's
book weaves fun and whimsy as pacifiers, with the help of a trusted
friend, make their way to distant lands and newborns. We are
excited about the opportunity to introduce this unique concept to
children everywhere.

This set of Field Guides distills the critical information on
infrared principles, techniques, and systems for those working in
or studying the various aspects of infrared science and technology.
The Field Guide to Infrared Optics, Materials, and Radiometry
covers all aspects of infrared optics, including monochromatic and
chromatic optical aberrations as well as important concepts such as
depth of focus, depth of field, hyperfocal distance, warm shields,
aspheric surfaces, and kinoforms. It also provides a comprehensive
introduction to the optical, mechanical, and thermal properties of
infrared materials as well as the essentials of radiometry and
sources necessary for the quantitative understanding of infrared
signatures and flux transfer, spectral atmospheric transmittance,
and path radiance. This Field Guide serves as a companion to the
Field Guide to Infrared Systems, Detectors, and FPAs, Third
Edition. The third edition of the Field Guide to Infrared Systems,
Detectors, and FPAs is devoted to fundamental background issues for
optical detection processes. It compares the characteristics of
cooled and uncooled detectors with an emphasis on spectral and
blackbody responsivity, detectivity, and the noise mechanisms
related to optical detection. This Field Guide introduces the
concepts of barrier infrared detector technologies and encompasses
the capabilities and challenges of third-generation infrared focal
plane arrays as well as the advantages of using dual-band
technology. The book combines numerous engineering disciplines
necessary for the development of an infrared system. It considers
the development of search infrared systems and specifies the main
descriptors used to characterize thermal imaging systems.
Furthermore, this guide clarifies, identifies, and evaluates the
engineering tradeoffs in the design of an infrared system. It
serves as a companion to the Field Guide to Infrared Optics,
Materials, and Radiometry.
