Abstract:

Chinese culture, to readers of English, is somewhat veiled in mystery. Fundamentals of Chinese Culture, a classic of great insight and profundity by noted Chinese thinker, educator and social reformist Liang Shuming, takes readers on an intellectual journey into the five-thousand-year-old culture of China, the world’s oldest continuous civilization. With a set of "Chinese-style" cultural theories, the book well serves as a platform for Westerners' better understanding of the distinctive worldview of the Chinese people, who value family life and social stability, and for further mutual understa

Abstract:

When we look at all the challenges facing the world, including inequality, population migration, and climate change, we can see a role for development banking in nearly all of them. But will that role be played for good or ill? This book brings together two people who collectively draw on their forty-five years of experience in that world to argue that development banking can-and must-play a constructive role. We only need to read the news to find public outrage at tales of short-sighted greed in the financial world. But what happens when banks invest in long-term sustainability? Readers will

This chapter discusses how Staël's analysis of the role of factions in the Revolution is better understood in the light of the final section of the Considerations, dedicated to England. Like her favorite Anglophile writers, Staël praised England's commercial achievements; its constitution; and its tradition of individual liberty, freedom of the press, and religious toleration. But what interested her above all was the functioning of English parliamentarianism and the nation's party system. All along she manifested great admiration for the Whig Party and its leaders: an admiration that was not

Abstract:

We explore the effect of tax reforms that decrease the cost of equity on bank lending. In 2000 and 2006, Italy and Belgium, respectively, introduced an allowance for corporate equity so that both firms and banks could deduct a notional interest on their equity from their taxable income. Because local firms were also affected by these reforms, we employ loan-level data from a credit register in a third country—Germany—to better identify the differential impact on lending by banks that were ‘treated’ by these tax reforms versus a control group of banks that were not. We find that the decrease in

Abstract:

Back pain is prevalent in adults, and most often its cause is nonspecific and benign. Imaging and interventions are not always helpful and they are generally expensive and low yield. However, in about 10% or fewer cases, a specific etiology is found. A patient history, physical examination, and testing are the methods for finding the cause. Back pain from malignancy must also be considered. Prolonged survival from better chemotherapy has increased the incidence of metastases to bone, especially the spine. Common sources of spinal metastases are cancers of the prostate, kidneys, thyroid, breast

Abstract:

This chapter addresses the troubling legacies left by the global financial crisis: rising government debt burdens and slower economic growth prospects. In October 2009, debt burdens were surging at about an equal pace in the United States and in the euro area. However, growth prospects looked better in the U.S. than in the euro area because the U.S. Federal Reserve had proactively stimulated its economy while the European Central Bank (ECB) had kept monetary policy tight. Policymakers faced a dilemma. Solving the debt problem required governments to undertake austerity measures—raise taxes and

Abstract:

The introduction discusses why dealing with insolvent banks is fundamentally different from dealing with insolvent commercial companies. In ordinary corporate insolvency practice, commercial companies can be allowed to continue to operate while insolvent, by suspending payments on their financial liabilities while continuing to make payments on their commercial liabilities. This allows them to be reorganized or recapitalized rather than liquidated, which almost always results in better recoveries for their creditors, including their financial creditors.

Postlaminectomy syndrome is persistent or recurrent back pain after otherwise anatomically successful lumbar spine surgery. A dramatic increase in the number of low back surgeries has been observed since 1997, with an increased incidence of pain after low back surgery in the range of 5% to 74.6%. The mechanisms contributing to back pain are muscle damage during surgery, muscle spasm, and inflammation, with subsequent development of myofascial pain syndrome as well as other typical and atypical back pain generators.

This chapter concludes the book by examining the extent to which shops and bars were deeply integrated into the social and structural underpinnings of Roman urbanism. It looks more closely at the very things being retailed in bars: so, something of the menu of the Roman food and drink outlet. It also considers the role of shops and bars in the social and economic life of the city, and the extent to which these types of spaces serve as an index of urban living conditions. The aim of the chapter, indeed of the book, is not simply to argue for the “importance” of retail outlets to Roman life. It

The chapter follows the aesthetic impulse back to human prehistory and looks at prehistoric art. In order to establish our aesthetic inclinations as a primary impulse—and not just as a surplus phenomenon appearing in high cultures in times of plenty, when people have no better things to do—it is important to track this impulse back to its first expression and to the material living conditions at the time. Regarding the origin of this primary impulse, it is interesting to consider who these people were in terms of psychology. Who were the creators of the prehistoric art, and what motivated this

In the early 2000s, the US monetary policy committee, as well as other central banks around the world, began using “forward guidance,” or changes in their statement language, to signal policy changes. Underlying this shift toward clearer communication was the idea that more comprehensible monetary policy would lead to better economic performance and lower inflation. The first three chapters of this book argue that, rather than being a lofty goal set by altruistically motivated policy makers, transparency depends on the configuration of committee members’ preferences.

Abstract:

Sacroiliac (SI) joint disease is a common cause of low back pain. It is not easily diagnosed by physical examination, as the joint has limited mobility and referral patterns are not sufficiently delineated from other pathological conditions implicated in low back pain. The accuracy of provocative testing of the sacroiliac joint is controversial. Many physicians use injection of the SI joint with local anesthetic and/or steroid as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in treating SI joint–related pain. Historically, SI joint intra-articular injections have been performed without imaging guidance. I

Rather than be accurate descriptors, the chapter suggests that such models say more about those doing the interpreting than they do about the actual historical record. They are, in other words, motivated by politics as opposed to history. If the relations between Jews and Musli

Because it avoids phenomena like keys, rhythm, or harmonic relation, it requires fresh ears. Exercises in “close listening” then follow, attending to each of the album’s four tracks. Because the sounds relate to each other in a free, juxtaposed manner, each track has the feel of a painting. But their temporal dimension shows the limit of that analogy. As each track is interpreted, so too are the odd scores that adorn the back of Eno’s album. Because they do not provide in

According to this view, if a code’s extended usability value is higher than that of another code, the first code is better than the second.

After considering how Elizabeth Bowen’s short stories cast light on the Home Front rhetorics of sacrifice and reconstruction, it looks at how poets Robert Graves, Keith Douglas, and Alun Lewis reflect on First World War poetry of sacrifice. With reference to René Girard’s and Carl von Clausewitz’s writings on war, I take up Elaine Cobley’s assertion about the differing valencies

Abstract:

Many people besides children are denied a say over the law. Are they too, for the reasons described in earlier chapters, owed a break when they commit crimes? The chapter offers an explanation as to why the argument of the preceding chapters does not apply to visitors; their disenfranchisement does not support leniency towards them since their status bars them from offering the complaint about non-lenient treatment available to children. Felons, by contrast, should not be denied the vote, and so should not be given a break even though they ought to be treated more leniently if we persist in ou

Abstract:

This chapter examines city life, mass culture, and the ways that cities were a challenge to modernism in that they were theatres of memory, both individual and collective: it is no accident that modernism was best received in those cities so damaged by the First World War that many links with the past were broken, which was not the case in Paris or London. It argues the importance of Charlie Chaplin, whose art descended from the commedia dell’arte via the slapstick tradition of British harlequinade (loved by the Sitwells), and also examines the popular surrealism of some early cartoons (notabl

Abstract:

Despite being a founding member of her union, Barbara McLean worked sixty-hour weeks. She supervised her male colleagues, had more Academy Award nominations than anyone, and was known as “Hollywood’s Editor-in-Chief.” But McLean—who arguably had more control over her studio’s feature output than all of Twentieth Century-Fox’s directors—was not alone. During the studio system, Hollywood’s top female editors were formidable auteurs, and were unafraid of acknowledging, as Anne Bauchens did in 1941, “Women are better at editing motion pictures than men.” Regardless of their fame within the industr

Abstract:

Jonathan Miller’s BBC TV production of King Lear and Michael Elliott’s version for Granada TV, starring Laurence Olivier, illustrate contrasting approaches to the small-screen medium, with Miller recording lengthy takes of characters artfully choreographed within bare sets, and Elliott employing a montage technique to view individuals in expressive close-ups. The near-monochrome BBC costumes suggest the world of Jacobean politics, whereas Granada’s pastel colours suit the ‘Once upon a time’ quality of Shakespeare’s opening. The cinematic adaptations by Peter Brooke and Grigori Kozintsev better

Abstract:

Insects have evolved a wide range of behavioral traits to avoid predation. Frequently, these behaviors are deployed to augment the effectiveness of a primary defence such as crypsis or mimicry, but they are also sometimes elicited as a secondary defence when a primary defence fails. Anti-predator behaviors in insects include adaptations to avoid being detected by predators, adaptations rendering the insect unattractive to consume, warning behaviors, and behaviors to enhance the effectiveness of mimicry. This chapter reviews many of these behavioral anti-predator adaptations, emphasizing when t

The Federal Reserve System--the central bank of the United States, better known as The Fed--has never been more controversial. Criticism has reached such levels that Congressman Ron Paul, contender for the Republican presidential nomination in 2012, published End the Fed, with blurbs from musician Arlo Guthrie and actor Vince Vaughn. And yet, amid a slow economy and partisan gridlock, the Fed has never been more important. Stephen H.

Looking back on her career in 1977, Bette Davis remembered with pride, “Women owned Hollywood for twenty years.” She had a point. During the 1930s and 1940s, the press claimed Hollywood was a generation or two ahead of the rest of the United States in terms of gender equality and employment, with women constituting 40% of film industry employees. Mary C. McCall Jr. was elected president of the Screen Writers Guild three times, and a quarter of all screenwriters were women.
