Presidential Communication is the first book to combine a study of the presidency with communications. First it builds a base for the rhetorical presidency--what it means and how it works--and why an Approach based on an analysis of presidential rhetoric and persuasion works better than others to uncover the essential nature of the office. The authors also examine the presidency from the major areas of concentration traditionally found in communications scholarship. The theoretical discussion is reinforced with case studies drawn from recent history.

In their tenth co-authored study, Brennan and Hahn propose both a new method of biographical study for students of political communication and a new way of evaluating candidates for presidential office. The authors argue that given the biases inherent in the print and broadcast media, the only way to obtain accurate assessment about presidential candidates is to analyze information from the primary sources--the candidates themselves. They show how careful listening and rigorous analysis can enable the reader to extract reliable clues to presidential competence from the speeches, debates, press conferences, and advertising spots of the candidates. Challenging traditional rhetorical criticism in which biography is used to help evaluate speeches, Brennan and Hahn demonstrate that speeches can be effectively used to arrive at reliable evaluations of speakers. In order to establish the need for a new approach, the authors begin with a critique of the major extant methods of political analysis (biography, psychobiography, political biography and rhetorical biography). They then respond to that need by focusing on methods of analyzing information directly from political speeches and other utterances, identifying five major arenas for evaluating candidates: personality orientation, leadership ideal, ideology, epistemology, and axiology. Each of the arenas is divided into theory and application sections, providing the reader with both the methods in practice and an understanding of why they work. The final chapter examines the relationship of the media to political analysis. A comprehensive bibliography completes the work.

Macroeconomics began as the study of large-scale economic pathologies such as prolonged depression, mass unemployment and persistent inflation. In the early 1980s rational expectations and new classical economics dominated macroeconomic theory, with the result that such pathologies can hardly be discussed within the vocabulary of the theory. This book evolved from the authors' profound disagreement with that trend. It demonstrates not only how the new classical view got macroeconomics wrong, but how to go about doing macroeconomics the right way.

Following an explanation of microeconomic foundations, chapters introduce the basic elements for a better macro-model. The model is simple, but combined with the appropriate model of the labor market it can say useful things about the fluctuation of employment, the correlation between wages and employment, and the role for corrective monetary policy.

In classical dynamics the action of a one-parameter group-time- on the phase space is one of the principal objects of study. Ergodic theory concerns itself with the case when the phase space is a measure spaces. The purpose of this chapter is to give an outline of the basic theorems in the theory of solvmanifolds.

Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by an insidious onset with slowing of emotional and voluntary movement, muscular rigidity, postural abnormality and tremor. Parkinson's disease was first described in 1817 by James Parkinson. It is a progressive, neurological disease mainly affecting people over the age of 50, although at least 10% of cases occur at an earlier age. It affects people of either sex or all ethnic groups. In the normal brain, some nerve cells produce the chemical dopamine, which transmits signals within the brain to produce smooth movement of muscles. In Parkinson's patients, 80 percent or more of these dopamine-producing cells are damaged, dead, or otherwise degenerated. This causes the nerve cells to fire wildly, leaving patients unable to control their movements. This book examines new research results from around the world.

Presidential Communication is the first book to combine a study of the American Presidency with communication theory. The book brings readers a new way of looking at the Chief Executive Office. First Presidential Communication builds a case for the "rhetorical presidency"--what it means and how it works--and why an approach based on an analysis of presidential rhetoric and persuasion works better than others to uncover the essential nature of the office. The authors also examine the presidency from the major areas of concentration traditionally found in communication scholarship.

Lewis Carroll is de Schrieversnaam vun Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, 'n Mathematik-Dozent in Christ Church, Oxford. Dodgson fung mit dut Vertelln an 'n 4. Braakmaand 1862 an, as he up'n Thems-Stroom 'n Paddelboottuur mook. Mit vun de Partie weern Paster Robinson Duckworth un dree Deerns: Alice Liddell (de teihn Jahr ole Dochter vun'n Dekaan vun Christ Church) un hr Sustern Lorina (dorteihn Jahr old) un Edith (acht Jahr old). As wi vun't Riemel an'n Anfang vun't Book wies wardt, b den de dree Deerns Dodgson, dat he jum wat vertell. So fung he an - toeerst nich so geern - de eerste Verschoon to vertelln. Up un daal in'n egentlichen Text findt sik mennig 'n Anduden an de fief Minschen, de an den Dag tosamen in't Boot seten. Up't Lest keem dat Book in't Jahr 1865 unner de Lud'. Dut is dat eerste verdr gen vun Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in't Plattduutsche (Nedderduutsche). Afstammen d dusse Spraak vun't Oldsassische, vun dat ook to'n Deel dat Ingelsche (d.h. Angelsassische") afkeem. Dat Middelsassische (in Duutschland tomehrst Mittelniederdeutsch" noomt) was de Verkehrsspraak vun de Hanse, un vun de Spraak keem v l Inwarken in de Spraken vun de Noord- un Oostseekusten, besunners de vun Skandinavien, vun't Baltikum un vun Noordpooln. Hudigendaags deit dat Plattduutsche as 'n offitschelle Regionaalspraak in Noordduutschland un in de nedderlandschen Oostprovinzen gellen. Vor't Verdrieven an't Enn vun'n Tweeden Weltkrieg woor de Spraak ook in Rebeden to Oosten vun de hudige duutsche Oostgrenz snackt. -- Lewis Carroll is a pen-name: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was the author's real name and he was lecturer in Mathematics in Christ Church, Oxford. Dodgson began the story on 4 July 1862, when he took a journey in a rowing boat on the river Thames in Oxford together with the Reverend Robinson Duckworth, with Alice Liddell (ten years of age), the daughter of the Dean of Christ Church, and with her two sisters, Lorina (thirteen years of age), and Edith (eight years of age). As is clear from the poem at the beginning of the book, the three girls asked Dodgson for a story and reluctantly at first he began to tell the first version of the story to them. Many half-hidden references are made to the five of them throughout the text of the book itself, which was published finally in 1865. This edition presents the first translation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland into Low Saxon (also known as Low German and by its German name Plattdeutsch). This language is a descendant of Old Saxon, one of the ancestors of English. Middle Saxon (also known as Mittelniederdeutsch "Middle Low German" in modern German parlance) served as the international lingua franca of the Hanseatic Trading League and as such influenced many language varieties along the Baltic and North Sea coasts, especially those of Scandinavia, the Baltic Countries and Northern Poland. Its numerous modern dialects constitute a regional language that at the end of the 20th century came to be officially recognized in the Eastern Netherlands and in Northern Germany."
