Analyses of humour often focus primarily on the Global North, with
little consideration for examples and practices from elsewhere.
This book provides a vital contribution to humour theory by
developing a Global South perspective. Taking a wide-ranging view
across the whole of the continent, the book examines the
relationship between humour and politics in Africa. It considers
the context of the production and reception of humour in African
contexts and argues that humour is more than just symbolic. Moving
beyond the idea of humour as a mode of resistance, the book
investigates the 'political work' that humour does and explores the
complex entanglements in which the politics, practices and
performances of humour are located.
This book, first published in 1983, stresses the need for libraries
to weed out expenditures which do not contribute to their basic
role - the collection and organization of information - when
planning where and when to spend money. It illustrates how
priorities and goals must change in accordance with changes in
libraries' roles in the information world.
Why a new edition of Culturally Proficient Coaching? Why now,
especially? Because several polarizing years later, there's even
greater urgency for us all to critically examine our attitudes,
beliefs, and practices when working with students who look or sound
"different." No matter how broadly you define coach, no matter
which coaching model you follow, this is the resource to help you
get started. With the first edition, the authors' big goal was to
shift our thinking in service of standards-based teaching and
leading, and equitable interactions that support all students
achieving at highest levels. Now, with this second edition, the
authors add a third goal: to encourage a more holistic mindset and
expanded contextual uses. New features include: Enhanced research
on the effectiveness of coaching in educational settings New data
on response to implicit bias and microaggressions--subtle and
unintentional, yet destructive, forms of discrimination that
continue to marginalize Refinement and updating of the Tools of
Cultural Proficiency, which enable you to provide equitable
life-affirming experiences to all cultural groups Expanded models
of Culturally Proficient Coaching Conversations A special section
on crafting Breakthrough Questions to shift entrenched mindsets and
barriers to Cultural Proficiency By design, Culturally Proficient
Coaching is an intentional, inside-out approach that mediates a
person's thinking toward values, beliefs, and behaviors that enable
effective cross-cultural interactions and equitable learning
environments. Here's your opportunity to serve as that expert and
trusted mediator, boosting educators' cultural confidence and
consciousness, while honing their coaching skills. "We owe it to
ourselves and to our children to productively embrace and engage
diversity, with all of its tensions, for the sustainability of
humanity. These authors have given us the invitation, the road map,
and the call to action. the embarkment is up to each one of us."

Stephen Martin* The fourteen essays that constitute this work
provide a coherent review of the past and present of the European
Community, and consider some of its possible futures. Werner
Abelshauser and Richard Griffiths offer separate perspectives on
the precursors of the European Community. Abelshauser argues that
comparison of the fates of the European Coal and Steel Community
and the European Defense Community demonstrate the dominance of
political over economic considerations in the integration process.
Griffiths considers the stillborn European Political Community,
many of the proposed features of which, somewhat transformed, were
embodied in the Treaty of Rome. Both suggest that as a practical
matter a coming together of French and German interests has been a
precondition for advances in European integration. Stephen Martin
and Andrew Evans discuss the development of the Com munity's
Structural Funds, first envisaged as tools to smooth the transition
from a collection of regional economies to a continent-wide single
market, now increasingly seen as devices to guide adjustment to
long-term struc tural problems. Stuart Holland emphasizes the role
of the Structural Funds as one element in a broad range of
strategies to ensure social and economic cohesion as the Maastrict
Treaty ushers the European Union into the next stage of its
development."

In the first exhibition highlight of the year, three outstanding
artists - Wilhelm Lehmbruck, Georg Kolbe, and Ludwig Mies van der
Rohe - are being brought together for the first time at Haus Lange
in Krefeld. Figurative sculpture, as repeatedly integrated into
designs and buildings by the architect Mies van der Rohe, is thus
placed in direct dialog with the building, the design, and the
gardens of Haus Lange. The background for the interplay between
architecture and sculpture is the natural-philosophical climate,
which, in the early twentieth century, influenced a wide range of
disciplines. On display will be roughly twenty-five sculptures by
Lehmbruck and Kolbe as part of the organic body of Haus Lange.
In this book you will find a sampling of selected poems from each
of my (16) collections. I was blessed to have a number of wonderful
individuals help me in selecting just the right poems (of the most
than 1300 written over a half century) to be included.
This updated and substantially revised second edition, like its
predecessor, integrates a discussion of the latest theoretical
developments with a comprehensive review of empirical work.
Designed for upper-level undergraduates and graduates in industrial
economics, there are complete treatments of the basic oligopoly
models that are the bread and butter of theoretical industrial
economics (Cournot, Bertrand, and extensions; horizontal and
vertical product differentiation), of models of strategic behavior
as well as of the determination of market and firm structure, and
of the literatures on collusion, advertising, and the economics of
innovation. Stephen Martin also provides a complete review of
empirical tests of market performance, from Bain to the 'empirical
renaissance' and beyond.
contains expanded treatments of:
hotelling's spatial model
oligopoly with quality differentiation
empirical evidence on entry and exit
the analysis of firm structure
presents new discussions of:
the classical view of the Cournot model
strategic substitutability and complementarity
representative consumer models of product differentiation
the Kreps and Scheinkman model with product differentiation
the New Empirical Industrial Organization, Solow residual, and
event study approaches to the analysis of market power
deterministic and stochastic models of research and
development
With a more cohesive writing style, reduced size, additional
invaluable information, and new problems to solve, the second
edition of "Advanced Industrial Economics" is a key text in
industrial economics.

Written for a broad audience of professional informational and
corporate filmmakers, film students, technical writers, and
clients, "Communicating Ideas with Film, Video, and Multimedia: A
Practical Guide to Information Motion-Media" is an insider's
perspective on the informational media industry. With over
thirty-five years of experience, award-winning filmmaker S. Martin
Shelton presents his astute views on the state of the profession
and offers sage, constructive advice for the successful design and
production of information motion-media.
Forgoing discussions of technology, Shelton instead concentrates on
the communication principles that can motivate an audience to
achieve a particular goal--a goal that must be realistic,
worthwhile, and appropriate. His inventive approach coalesces
theory of the media with its philosophy, analysis, history, and
application, as well as his own informed personal opinions. This
valuable guide examines how to effectively encode information in
motion-media by using in-depth communication analysis and pertinent
filmic design. Throughout, Shelton emphasizes that kinetic visuals,
rather than audio, are the defining elements of the best
motion-media communication. Organized into five parts that can be
used independently or in sequence, the volume frames key topics in
the industry that collectively form a cohesive strategy for
motion-media design and production. First, Shelton discusses the
essence of the medium as a communication tool. In the second part,
he addresses the forms and functions of motion-media. The third
part details communication analysis and its application. Next,
Shelton delves into script design, distribution, and career
growth.Lastly, he offers advice on business aspects of the
profession. Told from the vantage point of a seasoned expert,
"Communicating Ideas with Film, Video, and Multimedia "is a "how to
do it" book as well as a treatise on "why to do it." Shelton's
narrative is complemented by twenty-six illustrations (including
multimedia flowcharts, sample forms, and photographs of some of the
great documentary filmmakers), a variety of script formats, and a
listing of the all-time best documentary films.
This volume contains chapters by different authors describing the
development of competition policy in 10 European Union Member
States, as well as the interaction of those policies with EU
competition policy. The convergence of Member State competition
policy to the EU approach is put in evidence, as is the influence
of Member State practice on EU competition policy. The chapters are
rich in institutional detail, but also analyze the functioning of
competition policy from an economic point of view.
This is an exploration of the richness inherent in genre and ethnic
colections. The contributors were asked to provide an overview of
their topic, its relevance to library collections and suggestions
about how collections might proceed. In addition, attention was
paid to the needs of individual collectors, many of whose
collections have also enriched libraries. The editors hope that
this volume will contribute to a greater understanding of why it is
important to collect and preserve special kinds of writing. The
studies of the various genres in this book show that each has a
specific contribution to make to the understanding of our social
development and many can enlighten dark passages in the past.

Written by a team of well-known experts, this foundational text
demonstrates a proven approach to implement and sustain inclusive,
goal-oriented programs.
Greening the Past argues that "western civilization" is rapidly
approaching a crisis unique in world history, and that a new
world-view now emerging is best encapsulated by a Green,
anarchist-ecological analysis. The approach outlined in this book
embraces general systems theory and recent discoveries in physics
as well as key philosophical issues such as the nature of time,
objectivity and causality, and an eco-psychological view of human
nature. It includes new interpretations of the place of myth and
language in historical writing and urges a re-evaluation of the
dialectical method.
