What is the correct way to see color in a modern, scientific
society? And who decides? In The Republic of Color, Michael Rossi
delves deep into the history of color science in the United States
to trace its complex origins and examine the scope of its influence
on the industrial transformation of turn-of-the-century America.
For a nation in the grip of profound economic, cultural, and
demographic crises, the standardization of color became a means of
social reform--a way of sculpting the American population into one
more amenable to the needs of the emerging industrial order.
Delineating color was also a way to characterize the vagaries of
human nature, and to create ideal structures through which those
humans would act in a newly modern American republic. Rossi's
compelling history goes far beyond the culture of the visual to
show readers how the control and regulation of color shaped the
social contours of modern America--and redefined the way we see the
world.
This is the book that Finally tells "The Truth, The Whole Truth,
and Nothing But the Truth" about successfully investing in rental
properties. The Truth is much different than the hype often
presented by the real estate "gurus." Nothing in this book is sugar
coated and there isn't any hype. Starting any business is
difficult. The vast majority of people who try will fail! If you
are to have a good chance of succeeding, you need to have the facts
-- NOT A BUNCH OF MOTIVATIONAL NONSENSE! All the motivation in the
world won't keep you in business if you don't have the cash flow!
This book contains straight talk about finding rental properties at
a huge discount; buying with no money down; how to calculate real
world cash flow; nightmare tenants; evictions; the amount of work
that is REALLY required; tenant screening; dealing with bad
tenants; the reasons newbies fail; and much more!
Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2004 im Fachbereich
Ingenieurwissenschaften - Bauingenieurwesen, Note: 2,3, Hochschule
fur Technik und Wirtschaft des Saarlandes (Bauingenieurwesen),
Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Inhaltsangabe: Einleitung: Eine
wirtschaftliche Bauausfuhrung ist auch von einer guten
Grundlagenermittlung in der Angebotsphase abhangig. In der Regel
findet aber die Angebotserstellung und die Produktionsplanung unter
hohem Zeitdruck statt und wird daher oft nur unzureichend genau
durchgefuhrt. Mit Hilfe der heutigen EDV-Programme ware eine
schnelle und genaue Angebotserstellung und Produktionsplanung
moglich, wird aber nur selten entsprechend umgesetzt. In der
Diplomarbeit soll am Beispiel eines Geschaftshauses eine
Kalkulation und Produktionsplanung mit Hilfe des EDV-Programms BRZ
durchgefuhrt werden. Dabei sollen die Werkzeuge, die das Programm
zur Verfugung stellt, genutzt werden. Im Zuge der Umsetzung soll
aufgezeigt werden, wie die Werkzeuge sinnvoll und einfach
eingesetzt werden konnen und welche Moglichkeiten der Bewertung und
Bearbeitung sich fur die Sachbearbeiter in den einzelnen Phasen
ergeben. Die einzelnen Aufgaben sind: - Beschreibung des Projektes.
- Beschreibung der allgemeinen Vorgehensweise bei der
Angebotsbearbeitung und Darstellung der Umsetzung mit Hilfe des
Programms BRZ. - Beschreibung der allgemeinen Vorgehensweisen bei
der Produktionsplanung und Darstellung der Umsetzung mit Hilfe des
Programms BRZ. - Bewertung, inwieweit ein EDV-Programm den
Arbeitsablauf, die Kalkulation und die Produktionsplanung
unterstutzen kann. - Erstellen von Checklisten und Ablaufdiagrammen
zur Nutzung des EDV-Programms. Zusammenfassung: So ein Programm ist
wichtig. Wie bereits erwahnt wird eine solche Software in grossen
Unternehmen schon taglich eingesetzt und ist fur die Grosse der
Bauprojekte dringend erforderlich, aber wie im eigenen Kapitel auf
Seite 105 erwahnt, ist ein solches Programm fur mittelstandige
Unternehmen von grosster Bedeutung. Kalkulation, Pr
This study examines James Herriot's five major books as
carefully crafted volumes of autobiography based on the building
block of the short story. In each of these works Herriot explores
the fundamental choice of values underlying a happy and successful
life. In his vision the bonds of affection and mutual dependence
between all creatures, human and animal, form an enduring theme
that lies at the heart of the choices he makes in his personal and
professional life. This study will help the reader to understand
the relationship between Herriot's stories and each book as a whole
and to appreciate Herriot's work in the context of
twentieth-century anxieties about identity and meaning.
Following a biographical chapter that describes the relationship
between Herriot's life and literary work, Rossi discusses the genre
of autobiography, the relationship between truth and fiction in
modern autobiography, and Herriot's use of the genre. A separate
chapter is then devoted to each of Herriot's works in turn: "All
Creatures Great and Small," "All Things Bright and Beautiful," "All
Things Wise and Wonderful," "The Lord God Made Them All," and
DEGREES"Every Living Thing." The discussion of each work includes
sections on plot development and narrative structure, character
development, thematic issues, and alternative critical approaches
that may be fruitfully applied to the book. Helpful appendices
contain identifications of minor characters in the works. A
complete bibliography of all of James Herriot's works, critical
sources, and a listing of reviews of all of his works completes the
volume. Because of the popularity of Herriot's work among adults
and young adults this companion will be a key purchase for school
and public libraries.
