Lauca del senyor Esteve Teatre
Aquesta edició de L'auca del senyor Esteve aporta les eines necessàries per treballar un dels textos més emblemàtics del modernisme.Després de la novella, publicada el 1907, i la posterior versió teatral, estrenada amb èxit el 1917, la figura del senyor Esteve evolucionà fins al punt de constituir un dels mites que ha passat a formar part del patrimoni cultural català.A L'auca del senyor Esteve, amb distància irònica i humor, Santiago Rusiñol construeix la caricatura d'una burgesia encallada en els seus orígens menestrals, mentre la ciutat de Barcelona evoluciona fins a constituir-se com una important metròpoli mediterrània. L'autor hi essencialitza els tics del tarannà d'aquest estament, amb una proposta de futur que passa per la necessària acceptació de la cultura com un valor de progrés, si és que la burgesia autòctona pretén igualar-se a altres burgesies de l'Europa coetània.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Constructions and the Analytic Field: History, Scenes and Destiny
Constructions and the Analytic Field questions the relationship between psychoanalysis, history and literature. Does the analyst help the analysand construct a narrative, or is their task more of a historical reconstruction?In seeking to answer this question, Domenico Chianese examines Freud's writing, beginning with 'Constructions in Analysis' and ending in 'Moses and Monotheism', as well as the impressions of analytic method reflected in contemporary writers such as Thomas Mann, and historical writings from both sides of the Atlantic. Drawing on vivid and persuasive clinical examples, he argues that psychoanalysis creates a 'scenic space' between analysand and analyst, a theatrical space wherein the cast of the patient's interior world enter and exit from the scene.Drawing on the rich Italian psychoanalytic tradition, this original approach to the analytic field will be of interest to psychoanalysts, historians and literary experts.

Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG Know and Grow the Value of Your Business: An Owner's Guide to Retiring Rich
A woman looking to retire said to author and valuation expert Tim McDaniel, “I need to sell my business for $2.5 million to support my country club lifestyle.” The reality was that her business was worth $750,000. How could she have been so wrong? As McDaniel—a veteran of over 2,000 valuation engagements and dozens of M&A deals—knows all too well, most owners work in their businesses and not on their businesses. He has seen the look of surprise on client faces far too often: “It’s only worth that much?!” In the rush of day-to-day work and decisions, business owners sometimes forget that their business is an investment—and something they need to watch, nurture, and care for just as they would a valuable antique vase or painting. Know and Grow the Value of Your Business: An Owner's Guide to Retiring Rich shows readers how to develop the “investment mindset,” value the business, bolster that value and maximize the return on their investment, and, finally, exit the business either through a sale to outside parties or by passing it on to family or other business insiders. This information couldn’t be more important: Typically, 60–80% of a business owner’s wealth is tied up in the value of the business. This is their most important asset, but they usually guess at its value and have no concrete plan to increase it. That’s why this book shows: The importance of treating your ownership interest in a business as something deserving near-daily attention. How a company is valued, and how others outside the business view that value. Steps you can take immediately to increase the value of your business. The different kinds of potential buyers and what attracts them. How to remove yourself from the day-to-day work of the business to plan for a brighter future. How to exit the business on your terms. In short, this book helps business owners get the most for their business when they decide it’s time to move on.

Quaderns Crema Dies del turbin els
Sobre la base d'un episodi de la guerra civil russa, Bulgàkov escriví una novella, La guàrdia blanca, i una posterior adaptació teatral, Els dies dels Turbin. Fortament autobiogràfíca, l'acció ens narra la història d'una família afí al partit dels blancs, amb una oposició obstinada dels seus valors a les tesis de les noves autoritats soviètiques. Polèmica en el seu temps i encara avui actual, Els dies dels Turbin va ser representada el 1926 amb gran èxit popular, però els atacs continus de la crítica oficial van fer que la censura la prohibís. Tot i això, ha restat com el drama més famós de Bulgàkov, punt de referència obligat de diverses generacions d'homes de teatre soviètics.

Columbia University Press Faces of Power: Constancy and Change in United States Foreign Policy from Truman to Obama
Seyom Brown's authoritative account of U.S. foreign policy from the end of the Second World War to the present challenges common assumptions about American presidents and their struggle with power and purpose. Brown shows Truman to be more anguished than he publicly revealed about the use of the atomic bomb; Eisenhower and George W. Bush to be more immersed in the details of policy formulation and implementation than generally believed; Reagan to be more invested in changing his worldview while in office than any previous president; and Obama to have modeled his military exit from Iraq and Afghanistan more closely to Nixon and Kissinger's exit strategy from Vietnam than he would like to admit. Brown's analyses of Obama's policies for countering terrorist threats at home and abroad, dealing with unprecedented upheavals in the Middle East, preventing the proliferation of nuclear weapons, and containing new territorial expansion by China and Russia reinforce the book's "constancy and change" theme, which shows that serving the interests of the most powerful country in the world transforms the Oval Office's occupant more than its occupant can transform the world. Praise for previous editions: "Systematic and informative...[Brown] has a gift for clear analysis that makes his book a useful contribution to the Cold War literature."-The Journal of American History "Comprehensive and clear...thorough without ever becoming dull, providing detailed analysis of decisions while never neglecting the environment within which they are made."-International Affairs "An excellent reference for those interested in United States foreign policy...Well-written and well-researched, it is appropriate for use in both undergraduate and graduate courses."-International Journal "An analysis with difference-an important difference. Seyom Brown discusses United States policy from the perspective of how decision makers in the United States viewed their adversaries and the alternatives as those decision makers saw them...Well worth the effort of a careful reading."-American Political Science Review

Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd Robust Political Economy: Classical Liberalism and the Future of Public Policy
This important book offers a comprehensive defence of classical liberalism against contemporary challenges. It sets out an analytical framework of 'robust political economy' that explores the economic and political problems that arise from the phenomena of imperfect knowledge and imperfect incentives. Using this framework, the book defends the classical liberal focus on markets and the minimal state from the critiques presented by 'market failure' economics and communitarian and egalitarian variants of political theory. Mark Pennington expertly applies the lessons learned from responding to these challenges in the context of contemporary discussions surrounding the welfare state, international development, and environmental protection. Written in an accessible style, this authoritative book would be useful for both undergraduate and graduate students of political economy and public policy as a standard reference work for classical liberal analysis and a defence of its normative prescriptions. The book's distinctive approach will ensure that academic practitioners of economics and political science, political theory and public policy will also find its controversial conclusions insightful.Contents: 1. Introduction: Classical Liberalism and Robust Political Economy; Part I: Challenges to Classical Liberalism; 2. Market Failures 'Old' and 'New': The Challenge of Neo-Classical Economics; 3. Exit, Voice and Communicative Rationality: The Challenge of Communitarianism I; 4. Exit, Trust and Social Capital: The Challenge of Communitarianism II; 5.

Stanford University Press Foreign Powers and Intervention in Armed Conflicts
Intervention in armed conflicts is full of riddles that await attention from scholars and policymakers. This book argues that rethinking intervention—redefining what it is and why foreign powers take an interest in others' conflicts—is of critical importance to understanding how conflicts evolve over time with the entry and exit of external actors. It does this by building a new model of intervention that crosses the traditional boundaries between economics, international relations theory, and security studies, and places the economic interests and domestic political institutions of external states at the center of intervention decisions. Combining quantitative and qualitative evidence from both historical and contemporary conflicts, including interventions in both interstate conflicts and civil wars, it presents an in-depth discussion of a range of interventions—diplomatic, economic, and military—in a variety of international contexts, creating a comprehensive model for future research on the topic.

John Blake Publishing Ltd How to Chat Someone Up at a Funeral: And Other Awkward Social Situations
Most etiquette guides will tell you the proper way to eat asparagus, how to exit a sports car without showing your knickers and the correct way to address an Archbishop - but they fail abysmally when it comes to offering advice on any number of awkward social situations. Containing guidance and tips for dealing with over 60 such scenarios, How to Chat Someone Up at a Funeral is completely objective and non-judgemental. How (and why) you might find yourself in any of these circumstances is immaterial; the book is concerned with presenting the best way to conduct yourself so you leave the situation with your dignity (and sometimes your life) intact. Modern dilemmas covered include: inadvertently farting in the presence of the Queen; disarming an axe-wielding maniac; challenging a co-worker to a duel; disposing of a dead body; assuming someone's pregnant when they're not.

University of Alberta Press Sanctioned Ignorance: The Politics of Knowledge Production and the Teaching of the Literatures of Canada
"There is no such thing as 'the ivory tower.' Rather, there sit side by side numerous windowless towers of knowledge, each seeming to have only a small entrance and no discernable exit." -Paul Martin Multilingual, multicultural, and vast, Canada enjoys a rich diversity of literatures. So, why does "Canadian Literature," as it has been taught, fail to encompass a common geography, history, and government, yet reveal the diverse experiences of its immigrants, long-term residents, and original peoples? Martin's research-interviews with 95 professors in 27 universities-maps the institutional chasms in communication and the nature of their persistence. His own example of venturing out from his "tower" to dialogue with colleagues shows a way toward cultivating a conception of the literatures of Canada that is expansive and inclusive. Canadianists, professors of English, French, Postcolonial and Comparative Literatures, and leaders in education will profit from Martin's frank investigations.

Granta Books How To Read Sartre
'I can want only the freedom of others' Jean-Paul Sartre Jean-Paul Sartre is best known as the pre-eminent philosopher of individual freedom. He is the one who told us that we are totally free. Robert Bernasconi shows how the early existentialist Sartre became, in stages, the political champion of the oppressed. Extracts are drawn from the full range of Sartre's writings: the novel Nausea, the drama No Exit, the political essay 'Communists and Peace', as well as the major philosophical texts, Being and Nothingness and Critique of Dialectical Reason. They show why of all major twentieth-century philosophers Sartre was the one who most easily passed beyond the confines of the academy to a general readership.

Springer International Publishing AG The Dynamics of Nonlinear Reaction-Diffusion Equations with Small Lévy Noise
This work considers a small random perturbation of alpha-stable jump type nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions over an interval. It has two stable points whose domains of attraction meet in a separating manifold with several saddle points. Extending a method developed by Imkeller and Pavlyukevich it proves that in contrast to a Gaussian perturbation, the expected exit and transition times between the domains of attraction depend polynomially on the noise intensity in the small intensity limit. Moreover the solution exhibits metastable behavior: there is a polynomial time scale along which the solution dynamics correspond asymptotically to the dynamic behavior of a finite-state Markov chain switching between the stable states.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Protein Transport into the Endoplasmic Reticulum
Protein transport into the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) is just one aspect of the general cell biology topic of intracellular protein sorting. This larger picture also includes protein transport into other organelles of the eukaryotic cell (chloroplasts, mitochondria, nucleus, peroxisomes), protein export from bacteria, vesicular transport that delivers to its final destination most of what has been transported into the ER, and protein export from the ER that is associated with protein degradation (termed ERAD). Over the years, protein transport into the ER also has become part of the quest to understand the various roles of molecular chaperones under non-stress conditions and of the ribosomal tunnel exit as the decisive site for molecular triage of nascent polypeptide chains.

Demà i demà i demà
Des de ben petits, en Sam i la Sadie comparteixen l?afició pels videojocs. Allà hi experimenten la llibertat i l?alegria que els manca al món real, on senten que no acaben d?encaixar. Quan es retroben anys més tard, decideixen apostar pels seus somnis i viure de la creació d?aquests universos fantàstics i imaginaris sense preveure, però, que ben aviat s?enfrontaran a un èxit imprevist i imparable que posarà en dubte la naturalesa de la seva relació. Aquesta és la història dels mons que construeixen els dos amics, perfectes però irreals, i també de la impossibilitat per adaptar-se a la ferocitat del que comporta el triomf: els diners, la fama, les identitats qüestionades i la tragèdia.Demà, i demà, i demà és un relat sobre la nostra necessitat de connectar, d?estimar i de ser estimats. Una obra commovedora sobre els límits de l?amistat i l?amor, i una oda al refugi que ens ofereix la imaginació.
