Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The juvenile, or two-year-old, racing careers of Colin, Man o' War, Ruffian and Landaluce provide the foundation and focus for discussing the question of thoroughbred greatness and its measure. These four thoroughbreds were arguably the best juvenile runners of the twentieth century. Close on their hooves, pun intended, however, were the colts Sysonby and Secretariat and the fillies First Flight, La Prevoyante and Personal Ensign.The latter five runners are honorably mentioned and also compared in the book. As in The Greatest Horse of All: A Controversy Examined, basic statistics are used informally to provide readers a basis for their own studies in thoroughbred data comparison and evaluation.The author realizes that many people avoid mathematical ideas like the plague. Therefore, he has minimized statistical usage to its most common elements, and he explains these thoroughly for the uninitiated as the book progresses. Only two of the ten chapters use statistics to any degree.The text also includes seven figures and two tables to aid in understanding the statistical concepts.If one feels remotely comfortable with eight-grade mathematics concepts, one will have no problem with this material.Relative to the statistical comparisons, two novel concepts are discussed. These pertain to addressing the so-called era effect. Many racing fans continue to argue that horses from different eras cannot justly be compared. A strong case against this argument is presented from at least two standpoints.First, a device is described and suggested to scientifically test and compare the true relative speeds of two racing surfaces. Second, an inverse use of the well-known 't test' for comparing the differences between two or more data sets is presented.The text demonstrates how using this inverse test can equitably adjust earlier era data so that it may be fairly compared with later era data.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Henry McAvoy was employed by Fox Silent Films as Location Manager from 1915 until his death in 1920. Henry had managed a fire works company, which gave him the experience of handling explosives to becoming an electrician. His job included that whenever Fox needed anything (submarines, war ships, naval aircraft. locations for filming) it was his job to acquire it. It was also his job to handle the explosives that were used in the thrilling scenes. The breathtaking scenes that thrilled the audiences were staged at the location. Many times this almost cost the life of one of the actors or actresses and in one case did.Author George McAvoy was only three months old when his father was killed in a dynamite explosion in his own garage. George only knew of his father, Henry McAvoy, through stories passed down from his mother and two brothers, from the letters his father had written to his mother when they were courting and when he was traveling, and from the thousands of photographs that his father took. George McAvoy uses these photos to tell the story of his entrepreneurial father who during the period of silent films became in charge of Fox Films special effects and finding the right locations for movies to be filmed. It was a much wilder time in the film industry when the center was Fort Lee, New Jersey, before the move to Hollywood. Many more risks were taken and there were few, if any, stuntmen. Unfortunately much of the film history was destroyed in a large fire at the Fort Lee storage warehouse where the highly flammable films were kept. The story includes onsite tales of filming and details of Henry McAvoy's family life.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - No Sacred Place offers a critical study of social injustice done at the behest of law and religion in the context of cultural politics in Christianized societies. Author Ivan Walters theorizes the causes of social injustice and oppression of marginalized peoples as found in the law and Christian theology in both modern and post-modern cultural politics. He advances a theory of redemption through a transgressive discourse that challenges most of the traditional assumptions of Eurocentric Christianity and jurisprudence. Walters sees law and religion as two powerful, politico-cultural institutions that must be kept in check in order to protect the rights of those who are marginalized by the society. History reveals a litany of horrors that have been perpetrated on marginalized peoples by both religious bigotry and the law.Through theological and jurisprudential theoretical inquiries, Walters advocates a thesis of at-one-ment through the historical Christus instead of the Christianity's bastardized version of the Christus. His thesis then is grounded in a theory of challenge and resistance to oppression and the advocacy of the possibilities for redemption from oppression. No Sacred Place challenges the church in particular and society in general to create a new social order and right the wrongs of the current system.…

Buch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - The primary objective of this book, PLATINUM ESSAYS IN THE PHILOSOPHY OF APPLIED ECONOMICS OF DEVELOPMENT, is to present in a clear, cognizable and concise format, topics of major significance in modern economic development. This presentation is focused upon Nigeria, Africa and the world as measured, shifting concentric epicenters of economic growth and development. The author, Professor Herbert Onye Orji in this and in his four previous books, has maintained a lucid, creative substance and style of writing. Initially, he states the underlying philosophy of applied economic development in each major essay topic. He then proceeds on a parallel basis with a lucid descriptive and numero-graphic analysis of the theory, employing case studies in some instances.Professor Orji's extensive summary research reports on economic issues of global significance including sections such as George Soros and New Paradigm Shifts in the Money and Capital Markets, Endless Struggles with Boom-Bust Cycles; The Paradox of Sovereign Credit Ratings; Regional Banking and Economic Development in Africa & Asia; Foreign Direct & Portfolio Investments in Africa; Cross Border Investor Protection & Global Capital Markets Integrity; Millennium Development Goals and The Nigerian Capital Market; Building Effective PPPs for Infrastructural Services Development; The USA Securities and Exchange Commission's Power and Influence on the Global Economy; Project Finance for Large Scale Plantation Agriculture, Aircraft and Ocean-going Vessels (Separate research reports & essays); and Harmonization of Regulatory Framework Towards Enhancing the Reliability of Financial Reports, have won accolades and admiration from policy makers, international and multilateral institutions, academia and major research centers in Nigeria, throughout Africa, Asia, Western Europe, Canada and the United States.It is partly as result of this positive resonance that the author decided to produce these interconnected and interrelated topics, issues and reports in a platinum book form. Among other advantages, this book to a large extent serves as an encyclopedia for government and private sector policy makers, academia, multilateral institutions and major research centers. Some topics are current to the time of publication with projections through 2012 and further, while some essays are deliberately dated to reflect the economic and policy environment within a specific time frame. The author has indeed gone beyond the call of duty in search of solutions to the problems of economic development and global resource management. …
