Great sounding very easy/big note arrangements by Robert Schultz. Complete lyrics included. Titles are: A Rumor in St. Petersburg * Journey to the Past * Once Upon a December * In the Dark of the Night * Learn to Do It * Paris Holds the Key (To Your Heart).

From the beaches of Formentera to prison in Afghanistan to seeking Nirvana in India and back, Schultz shares in a delightful writing style anecdotes of pleasure, humor, suspense, fear, and reflection that ultimately transformed him into a well-respected orthopaedic surgeon. In Autobiography of a Baby Boomer you'll follow the journey of a post-modernist baby-boomer from Father Knows Best middle class Fair Lawn, New Jersey to the hippy trail through Europe, North Africa, the Middle East and Asia. The overland journey in search of something more than he could find at Cornell University Medical College covers four years during a time when "dropping out," "turning on," and "free-love" were the gospel. Through his travels, drugs, seances, very far-out "Road People," and his parents' unremitting love, author Robert Schultz comes to truly appreciate the American way of life. In an admittedly unconventional way, Schultz discovers the rather conventional joy of having a family and the awesome responsibility that comes with it.

John Ordway is an artist obsessed with his work. In New York City that preoccupation merely aroused the ire of feminist art critics, but now that he and his girlfriend, Jamie, a potter and weaver, have retreated to tiny Delphi, Iowa, he finds himself the object of a more pointed suspicion. Then Jaime leaves him, and one of his local models is attacked. Surrounded by judgment and no longer able to view his work with detachment, he is forced to question the impulses that drive him to it. As events spin out of control, he must answer questions of urgent personal importance: What is the fate of a body in the world? And what does it mean for a man to see a woman truly? Art collides with life, painfully and revealingly, in this evocative first novel, which brings a poet's sensibility to the charged question of women's bodies and men's desires. Subtly conceived and artfully executed, THE MADHOUSE NUDES is part love story, part mystery, a brave exploration of guilt and innocence.

Diplomarbeit aus dem Jahr 2007 im Fachbereich Agrarwissenschaften, Note: 1,0, Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universitat Bonn, 89 Quellen im Literaturverzeichnis, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: Im Zuge der fortschreitenden wirtschaftlichen Integration der EU gewinnt die Region als Analyseebene zunehmend an Bedeutung. Wahrend auf europaischer Ebene Konvergenzprozesse zwischen den Mitgliedstaaten zu beobachten sind, zeigen sich abhangig von den verwendeten Kriterien die regionalen Disparitaten weitgehend persistent oder vergrossern sich noch. Als wichtiges Merkmal zur Beurteilung der wirtschaftlichen Lage einer Region gilt dabei die Beschaftigung. Diese Arbeit konzentriert sich daher auf die Identifizierung der empirisch entscheidenden Determinanten der Beschaftigungsentwicklung, die Darstellung der theoretischen Grundlagen ihrer Wirkungsweise und die Diskussion der Umsetzbarkeit dieser Mechanismen in einem regionalen CGE Modell. Untersucht werden die systematischen Auswirkungen des regionalen Lohnniveaus, der Branchenstruktur, der Betriebsgrossenstruktur, der Qualifikationsstruktur und der Siedlungsstruktur. Vor allem die Wirkungsweise der Branchen- und der Qualifikationsstruktur erweist sich als empirisch bedeutsam und theoretisch fundiert. Die Analyse der Siedlungsstruktur ermoglicht daruber hinaus Erkenntnisse uber den Einfluss der landlichen Regionen auf deren Beschaftigungsentwicklung. Dabei wird deutlich, dass der Effekt der landlichen Regionen in der Nahe von urbanen Zentren deutlich positiver ausfallt, als der Effekt der peripheren Regionen. Die Abgelegenheit einer Region lasst sich somit als entscheidender Bestimmungsfaktor ihres Entwicklungspotentials einstufen. Fur die Simulierung der Beschaftigungsentwicklung in regionalen CGE Modellen bieten die bislang zur Analyse von Handelspolitiken eingesetzten Modelle eine erste Grundlage. Besonderes Augenmerk bei der Erweiterung sollte auf die Modellierung des Arbeitsmarktes inklusive einer Differenzierung des Fakto
