Description:
Vancouver: University of British Columbia Press, 1985. Hardcover. Good/good. Hardcover. 9 1/4" X 6 1/4". 153pp. Rubbing, toning, creasing, and bumps to covers, corners, and edges of unclipped dust jacket. Sunning to spine of jacket. Gentle rubbing to edges of gray paper over boards. Dust-spotting to edges of text block. Pages are free of marks and notation. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: T.S. Eliot's deep interest in Indian philosophical systems has long been acknowledged, but surprisingly little exploration of their influence on his poetry and drama has been undertaken. In T.S. Eliot, Vedanta, and Buddhism, Sri juxtaposes the essential perceptions of Indian thought with Eliot's work to illuminate his vision of the human condition.(Publisher).

Chicago: The University of Chicago Press, 2010. Hardcover. Very good/very good. Hardcover. 9 1/4" X 6 1/4". xiv, 186pp. Very mild shelf wear to covers, corners, and edges of unclipped dust jacket. Bound in blue cloth over boards with spine lettered in silver. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Much of what humans know we cannot say. And much of what we do we cannot describe. For example, how do we know how to ride a bike when we can't explain how we do it? Abilities like this were called "tacit knowledge" by physical chemist and philosopher Michael Polanyi, but here Harry Collins analyzes the term, and the behavior, in much greater detail, often departing from Polanyi's treatment. In Tacit and Explicit Knowledge, Collins develops a common conceptual language to bridge the concept's disparate domains by explaining explicit knowledge and classifying tacit knowledge. Collins then teases apart the three very different meanings, which, until now, all fell under the…

Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: In the last seven centuries, many songs and poems have been composed about Taijiquan. These have played a major role in preserving the knowledge and wisdom of the masters, although in many cases, the identity of the authors and the dates of origin have been lost.

Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: This is a story of how work gets done. It is also a study of how field service technicians talk about their work and how that talk is instrumental in their success. In his innovative ethnography, Julian E. Orr studies the people who repair photocopiers and shares vignettes from their daily lives. He characterizes their work as a continuous highly skilled improvisation within a triangular relationship of technician, customer, and machine. The work technicians do encompasses elements not contained in the official definition of the job yet vital to its success. Orr's analysis of the way repair people talk about their work reveals that talk is, in fact, a crucial dimension of their practice. Diagnosis happens through a narrative process, the creation of…

A small spot of toning to top edge of text block. Previous owner's sticker to inside of front cover. Faint foxing to inside of front and rear covers. Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: Essays and polemics may be a fading craft in the age of drivel, gobbledegook, cd-rom and sound bites. Bernard Fong proves that he is an exception with his provocative comments and droll reflections in a watershed year. The author--whose writing has appeared in American, British, French, Canadian, Australian and local publications--in this volume lampoons Chris Patten, the "reforms", the events, political stunts and the high jinks which have so enlivened Hong Kong living. "If hypocrisy is butter, then prose should be its knife," Fong says.(Publisher).

The topics discussed range from simultaneous interpreting, subtitling, translating in pairs, the sub-skills involved in T/I, to expertise and management issues. Three major challenges emerge from T/I process research as it is portrayed in this book: - How to maintain a clear…

Pages are clean and unmarked. Binding is sound. ABOUT THIS BOOK: With volume on of Tattoo Vixens, alongside of the great photography on board, we questioned some of the models over how they were perceived by the world at large and found some surprising answers. In this volume, we take a more petulant approach and have instead opted to have fun. After all, that's what the song said they wanted and what's the point of all the hard work behind the scenes if you cant have some laughs with it in the long term. For the more serious minded and those looking to get involved in alt-modelling on a grand scale, you'll also find diverse interviews with some of the hardest working photographers on the scene right now as they give us a behind the scenes look at what a real photo-shoot consists of along with some of their very best work.(Publisher).
