Created between 1946 and the present, these plastic renderings of places provide eerie glimpses of destruction and devastation resulting of the air war. This study thus permits fresh angles on post-war responses to the compounded losses of WW II, and it does so through considering these "miniature monuments" (of, among others, Frankfurt, Munich, Schwetzingen, Heilbronn and Hiroshima) in a deep cultural history that interlaces the sixteenth, eighteenth, and twentieth centuries. Three-dimensional renderings in diminutive size have rarely been subjected to rigorous theoretical reflection. Conventionally, models, whether of ruins or intact spaces, have been assumed to be "easily legible"; that is, they have been assumed to be vehicles of the authentic. Yet rubble and other models should be theorized as complex simulacra of abstract realities and catalysts of memories. Miniature Monuments thus tackles a haunting paradox: building ruins. The book elucidates how utterly contingent processes of crumbling and collapse (the English words for the Latin ruina) came to command such great interest in modern Europe that tremendous efforts were taken to uncover, render, and, most of all, recreate ruins. 410 0$aMedia and cultural memory ;$vVolume 17. 606 $aHistoriography$zGermany 606 $aHistorical models 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aHistoriography 615 0$aHistorical models. 676 $a907.2043 686 $aNQ 1068$2rvk 700 $aPuff$b Helmut$01048442 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463844203321 996 $aMiniature monuments$92476738 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03606nam 2200625 450 001 9910798647003321 005 20230125223211.0 010 $a1-63157-555-4 035 $a(CKB)3710000000861763 035 $a(BEP)4690658 035 $a(OCoLC)959983352 035 $a(CaBNVSL)swl00407172 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL4690658 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr11267627 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL955252 035 $a(OCoLC)959149526 035 $a(CaSebORM)9781631575556 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4690658 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000861763 100 $a20170303d2017 fy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $2rdacontent 182 $2rdamedia 183 $2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe modern Caribbean economy$hVolume I$iAlternative perspectives and policy implications /$fedited by Nikolaos Karagiannis, Debbie A.

The financial crisis of 2007 further exacerbated economic instability due to high foreign debt, lack of competitiveness, declining productivity, and high unemployment and underemployment. This in turn has precipitated increasing social and environmental problems, including poverty, inequality, crime and violence, and environmental degradation, all of which require new perspectives and policy approaches for transformative change and sustainable development. In the 2-volume multidisciplinary edited book The Modern Caribbean Economy, Volume I: Alternative Perspectives and Policy Implications provides scholars and practitioners with alternative theoretical perspectives and concrete policy recommendations, while Volume II: Economic Development and Public Policy Challenges discusses economic, industrial, and social problems facing the Caribbean along with pragmatic proposals to successfully deal with these, while building local resilience and enhancing institutional strength in the region. 410 0$aEconomics collection.$x2163-7628 606 $aEconomic development$zCaribbean Area 607 $aCaribbean Area$xEconomic conditions$y1945- 607 $aCaribbean Area$xEconomic policy 610 $aCaribbean 610 $avolatility 610 $aeconomic development 610 $adevelopment strategies 610 $apublic policy 610 $ainstitutional reforms 615 0$aEconomic development 676 $a330.9729 700 $aKaragiannis$b Nikolaos$0865680 702 $aMohammed$b Debbie A. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910798647003321 996 $aThe modern Caribbean economy$93704970 997 $aUNINA
