Katherine Hayles, borrows from the border lands of theoretical physics and modern mathematics to establish the parameters of her exploration into modern writing and scientific discovery. Published in 1990 by Cornell University Press. From the cover blurb :: "At the same time that the study of nonlinear dynamics came into its own in the sciences, the focus of literary studies shifted toward local, fragmentary modes of analysis in which texts are no longer regarded as deterministic or predictable. Hayles here investigates parallels between contemporary literature and critical theory and the emerging interdisciplinary field known as the science of chaos. "She finds in both scientific and literary discourse new interpretations of chaos, which is seen no longer as disorder, but as a locus of maximum information and complexity. The new paradigm of chaos includes elements that, Hayles shows, were evident in literary theory and literature before they became prominent in the sciences. She asserts that such similarities between the natural and human sciences are the result not of direct influence but of roots in a common cultural matrix. "Hayles discusses such texts as "The Education of Henry Adams", Doris Lessing's "Golden Notebooks", and works by science fiction author Stanislav Lem, among others. "Chaos Bound" will contribute to and enliven current debates among chaos theorists, cultural critics and cultural historians, critical theorists, literary critics interested in nineteenth- and twentieth-century literatures, researchers in nonlinear dynamics, and other concerned with the relation between science and culture."

The book was issued in the CSU Poetry Series XXIX by Cleveland State University Poetry Center in 1990. It is the First Edition.

From the rear cover write-up : "Amazing changes in Eastern Europe erupt in world politics, and not one of America's foreign policy gurus comes within a country mile of predicting them", Eric Alterman wrote in "The New York Times" However, he continued , "The British writer Timothy Garton Ash has documented grassroots politics in Eastern Europe for 'The New York Review of Books' since 1984 . Even before Mr. Gorbachev, he reported that pressure for democratic change was building from below." "Comments like these are no surprise to 'New York Review' readers who have been perusing essays from Czechoslovak President Vaclev Havel since 1979. Havel's essays, which now come by fax from the Prague Castle, used to arrive via the Czech underground when he was in prison. Andrei Sakharov and Adam Michnik are other famous dissidents whose early essays for the 'Review' were written in prison or internal exile. In this book some of the best essays from dissident writers , plus a 'Conversation in Prague' by Philip Roth are collected in a single volume : "Writings From the East".

Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. 1st Edition. This is "Terra Firma", Poems by Thomas Centolella, a book chosen for the National Poetry Series by renowned poet Denise Levertov. It was published in 1990 by Copper Canyon Press. This is the First Edition. On the rear cover is printed the following: "Denise Levertov has selected this first book of Thomas Centolella's poems for the National Poetry Series. In it, Centolella establishes a mature vision, writing, in a deceptively conversational voice, narratives and meditations that seek a communal condition, poems spoken intimately, as though confided to a friend. And although he tends to favor a narrative structure, his ear is sensitive to modulations of rhythm, to tone and sound, to the subtle uses of rhyme, and implied rhyme, indeed to lyric impulses that link the conscious mind to hidden memory where true poetry is born."

These two questions are examined by looking at the experience of 135 countries between 1950 and 1990. Descriptive information, statistical analyses, and historical narratives are interwoven to gain an understanding of the dynamic of political regimes and their impact on economic development and other aspects of material welfare. The findings, several most surprising, dispel any notion of a trade-off between democracy and development. Economic development does not generate democracies but democracies are much more likely to survive in wealthy societies. Political regimes have no impact on the growth of total national incomes, while political instability affects growth only in dictatorships. Per capita incomes grow faster in democracies since population increases faster under dictatorships. In general, political regimes have more of an effect on demography than on economics.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book critically examines the context, origins, development and implementation of successive primary school curricula in Ireland between 1897 and 1990. It focuses on three particular policy changes during the period: the Revised Programme of Instruction introduced in 1900, the curricular provisions implemented following the achievement of independence in the 1920s and the Primary School Curriculum of 1971. These three eras are distinctive by virtue of their philosophy of education, the content of the curriculum, the methodologies employed and the concept of the child inherent in the curriculum. The author analyses curricular changes within the complex web of wider educational and societal factors that influenced their devising and implementation. In this way, he locates curricular developments within the climate of thought from which these policies emerged. The philosophy and ideology underpinning successive curricula are examined, along with the successes and shortcomings of curriculum implementation in each period. This historical analysis of the evolution of the primary curriculum in Ireland has much to offer researchers and policymakers in the contemporary context, amid ongoing curriculum development. Critically examines the context, origins, development and implementation of successive primary school curricula in Ireland between 1897 and 1990.
