In contrast to many other railway lines, its symbolic meaning has never sunk into oblivion. In Swiss society today, references to the Gotthard myth are multifaceted and omnipresent. Not only do they evoke images of a technological railway project, they also allude to Swiss history, alpine nature and national identity. Reading this book assists in understanding the old and contemporary discussions about the future of the Gotthard Railway, the regions in which it lies and the Swiss national identity. Curiosity-driven, this research combines viewpoints from the history of technology, cultural studies and cultural geography to grasp the intensity of the Gotthard as a national Swiss image. Whereas the relationship between the Gotthard Mountains and the Swiss national identity has received ample scholarly attention, the role of the Gotthard Railway remains largely unexplored. To illustrate to what extent historical actors co-constructed the railway and Swiss identity, the empirical chapters start with an analysis of an engineering discussion about tunneling methods. Hereafter, the book examines the reactions in Switzerland to the inauguration of the railway line. Subsequently, it describes the appreciation of the railway line portrayed in travel guides of the belle poque. The last chapter captures the glory days of the Gotthard myth, before and during the Second World War, with a focus on the novels and plays, in which the Gotthard Tunnel construction occurs. This historical overview offers insight into the multiple roles that technology plays in the construction of a sense of national identity as well as illustrating how identity has an effect on the appropriation of a technological railway project. 410 0$aTechnology and European history series ;$v1. 517 3 $aMaterializing identity 606 $aNational characteristics, Swiss 607 $aGotthardtunnel (Airolo and Go?schenen, Switzerland : Railroad tunnel) 615 0$aNational characteristics, Swiss. 676 $a385.094945 700 $aSchueler$b Judith$01577488 712 02$aTechnische Universiteit Eindhoven. 712 02$aStichting Historie der Techniek. 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910789726403321 996 $aMaterialising identity$93856110 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04563oam 22010334 450 001 9910972050503321 005 20250426110051.0 010 $a9786612845253 010 $a9781462318421 010 $a1462318428 010 $a9781452751061 010 $a1452751064 010 $a9781282845251 010 $a128284525X 010 $a9781451962130 010 $a1451962134 035 $a(CKB)3390000000010812 035 $a(EBL)1606061 035 $a(OCoLC)671571364 035 $a(IMF)WPIEE2010016 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1606061 035 $a(IMF)WPIEA2010016 035 $aWPIEA2010016 035 $a(EXLCZ)993390000000010812 100 $a20020129d2010 uf 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aChina : $eDoes Government Health and Education Spending Boost Consumption? /$fSteven Barnett, R.

A key policy question is how to reverse this trend, and rebalance growth away from reliance on exports and investment and toward consumption. This paper investigates whether the sizable increase in government social spending in recent years lowered precautionary saving and increased consumption. The main findings are that spending on health, but not education, had an impact on household behavior. The impact, moreover, is large. A one yuan increase in government health spending is associated with a two yuan increase in urban household consumption. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2010/016 606 $aConsumption (Economics)$zChina 606 $aEconomics$zChina 606 $aAggregate Factor Income Distribution$2imf 606 $aConsumption$2imf 606 $aEconomics$2imf 606 $aEducation spending$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 606 $aHealth care spending$2imf 606 $aIncome$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics: Consumption$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Education$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Health$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aSaving$2imf 606 $aWealth$2imf 607 $aChina, People's Republic of$2imf 615 0$aConsumption (Economics) 615 0$aEconomics 615 7$aAggregate Factor Income Distribution 615 7$aConsumption 615 7$aEconomics 615 7$aEducation spending 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 615 7$aHealth care spending 615 7$aIncome 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aMacroeconomics: Consumption 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Education 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Health 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aSaving 615 7$aWealth 676 $a339.470951 700 $aBarnett$b Steven$01816081 701 $aBrooks$b R$0350752 712 02$aInternational Monetary Fund. 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910972050503321 996 $aChina$94371929 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03891nam 2200661 a 450 001 9911019464203321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9786612460920 010 $a9781282460928 010 $a1282460927 010 $a9780470741252 010 $a0470741252 010 $a9780470741245 010 $a0470741244 035 $a(CKB)1000000000822282 035 $a(EBL)470654 035 $a(OCoLC)647831904 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000333845 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11255841 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000333845 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10378530 035 $a(PQKB)11561442 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC470654 035 $a(Perlego)2749465 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000822282 100 $a20081114d2009 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 00$aAble, gifted and talented underachievers /$fedited by Diane Montgomery 205 $a2nd ed. 210 $aChichester ;$aMalden, Mass. $cWiley-Blackwell$d2009 215 $a1 online resource (372 p.) 300 $aRev. ed. of: Able underachievers. 311 08$a9780470779408 311 08$a0470779403 311 08$a9780470740972 311 08$a0470740973 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aWhy do the gifted and talented underachieve? : How can masked and hidden talents be revealed? / Diane Montgomery -- Literacy, flexible thinking and underachievement / Joan Freeman -- What do we mean by an 'enabling curriculum' that raises achievement for all learners? : An examination of the TASC problem-solving framework : thinking actively in a social context / Belle Wallace -- How can inclusive and inclusional understandings of gifts/talents be developed educationally? / Jack Whitehead and Marie Huxtable -- Effective teaching and learning to combat underachievement / Diane Montgomery -- Changing the teaching for the underachieving able child : the Ruyton School experience / Lee Wills and John Munro -- Understanding and overcoming underachievement in women and girls : a reprise / Carrie Winstanley -- Understanding and overcoming boys' underachievement / Barry Hymer -- Improving the quality of identification, provision and support for gifted and talented learners from under-represented communities through partnership working / Ian Warwick -- Gifted and talented children with special educational needs : underachievement in dual and multiple exceptionality / Diane Montgomery -- Using assistive technologies to address the written expression needs of the twice-exceptional student / William F.
