The Sound Pattern of English
Noam Chomsky , and Morris Halle Manufacturer: The MIT Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 026253097X |
Book Description
Since this classic work in phonology was published in 1968, there has been no other book that gives as broad a view of the subject, combining generally applicable theoretical contributions with analysis of the details of a single language. The theoretical issues raised in The Sound Pattern of English continue to be critical to current phonology, and in many instances the solutions proposed by Chomsky and Halle have yet to be improved upon.Customer Reviews:

Picturing an Exhibition: The Family of Man and 1950s America
Eric J. Sandeen Manufacturer: Univ of New Mexico Pr ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items:
ASIN: 0826315585 |
Book Description
The Family of Man, a photography exhibit curated by Edward Steichen, opened at the Museum of Modern Art in 1955. More people saw that exhibit than any other show of photographs, and the book of the same title remains in print to this day. Despite the enormous success of this assemblage of photographs, surprisingly little critical attention has been paid to The Family of Man as a phenomenon.Eric Sandeen presents here the first in-depth study of the exhibit and its influence worldwide. He examines how the exhibit came to be assembled, the beliefs and background Edward Steichen brought to the project, and what he wanted to show about the human condition from his selection of images. He then looks at the politics and culture of the 1950s to determine why the show was so popular at the time. When the United States Information Agency toured the photographs throughout the world in five different versions for seven years, The Family of Man became a symbol for and projection of American values and the culture of abundance.
The richness and historical complexity of this exhibit have been overlooked, especially in the post-Vietnam decades, as critics have been quick to dismiss it as sentimental. Sandeen shows the exhibit to be a great deal more than a compendium of beautiful but unchallenging photographs. He also unfolds its multilayered relationship with and reflection of the values of postwar America.

Doctor Who: Daleks Masterplan I
John Peel Manufacturer: Carol Publishing Corporation ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0426203437 |
Customer Reviews:
Great Adaptation.......2007-05-01
Daleks' Master Plan begins.......2000-10-27
This novel is the adaptation of the prologue and first six episodes. It is written as a "stand alone" book, and could be read separately from the second part ('The Mutation of Time') if you really wanted and couldn't find the second part. (It is certainly a better tactic than trying to cram so much information into a single volume - witness the adaptation of 'The War Games' for a different way of adapting a long story.)
In essence, the Daleks and a number of other alien races form an alliance to invade human space (or the Solar System, as the story oddly refers to it). They have constructed a secret weapon which requires a Tarranium core to power it. The Doctor, with companions Steven and Katarina arrive on the planet Kembal and stumble into the investigation of Space Security Service agent Bret Vyon.
Little do any of them know, but there is a traitor in the hierarchy of the human government.
Possibly the main fault of this story is that it is a little meandering - not as bad as, say, 'The Keys of Marinus' and 'The Chase', but containing some things that could have been left out in the original. John Peel, however, correctly retains them in this adaptation.
What Mr. Peel does do is insert a wide variety of references to the universe of Doctor Who that, in 1965 when this story was shown, hadn't yet been thought of. By doing so, he adds to the text. It is also interesting to see how he layers the prologue into rest of the story.
As such, this novelisation not only stands in for the original story (most of which no longer exists on tape), but is probably a more enjoyable read for Doctor Who fans than a straightforward adaptation would have been.

The Kunming Project: Urban Development in China
Manufacturer: Birkhäuser Basel ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 3764367423 |
Book Description
For some 20 years, Kunming, a provincial capital city in China - 3.2 million inhabitants - has been the twin city of the European metropolis Zurich. As a direct result of this partnership, Kunming now has the first inner-city bus line in China, the first large-scale conservation of a historical part of the town, and new concepts for urban development at a regional level. This pioneering collaboration between western and Chinese planning teams, and the experience acquired in managing urban development projects, are not only significant for Kunming, but of importance for all countries interested in sharing the expertise and knowledge of professionals, whether from East or West, North or South. The challenge lies in reconciling the traditional and historical background of large Asian cities with their zeal for progress, so they may benefit from western technology and practice but avoid repeating the same mistakes on an even larger scale.

Doctor Who the Daleks' Masterplan, Part II: The Mutation of Time (Target Doctor Who Library, No 142)

A Great Adaptation.......2007-05-03
Daleks' Master Plan ends.......2000-10-17
What is unfortunate about this is that it starts with the episode 'The Feast of Steven'. When this story was shown, its seventh episode was broadcast on Christmas Day. Feeling that the story was a bit grim for Christmas viewing, a strange episode featuring a visit to a Hollywood studio and an English police station was produced. Even accepting the logic of going this in the first place, it does seem very out of place in the novel.
The story is properly resumed, as the Doctor, Steven and Sara are soon not only faced by the Daleks and their allies, but also by the Monk, another Time Lord with whom the Doctor and Steven had had a previous conflict.
The full details of the Daleks' plan come to light, leading to conflict within the alliance. The climax of the story is truly apocalyptic.
As with the previous part of the story, John Peel imbues his adaptation with references to the Doctor Who universe.
