In 1676, London?s Bethlehem Hospital expanded in grand new premises, and in 1774 the Madhouses Act attempted to limit confinement of the insane. This study explores almost a century of the English history of madness through the texts of five poets who were considered mentally troubled according to contemporary standards: James Carkesse, Anne Finch, William Collins, Christopher Smart and William Cowper were hospitalized, sequestered or exiled from society. Their works cope with representations of insanity, medical definitions or practices, imputed illness, and the judging eye of the ?sane other?, shedding new light on the dis/continuities in the notion of madness of this period. 517 $a«Remov'd from human eyes» 517 $a«Remov'd from human eyes» 606 $alinguistics$2bicssc 606 $aHistorical & comparative linguistics$2bicssc 606 $aTranslation & interpretation$2bicssc 606 $aLiterature & literary studies$2bicssc 606 $aLiterature: history & criticism$2bicssc 615 7$alinguistics 615 7$aHistorical & comparative linguistics 615 7$aTranslation & interpretation 615 7$aLiterature & literary studies 615 7$aLiterature: history & criticism 700 $aNatali$b Ilaria$4auth$0775005 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910571760503321 996 $aRemov'd from human eyes$91934320 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03459nam 22004815 450 001 9910254080503321 005 20200629143749.0 010 $a3-319-32426-8 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-32426-5 035 $a(CKB)3710000000842914 035 $a(EBL)4662706 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-32426-5 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC4662706 035 $a(PPN)19551307X 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000842914 100 $a20160901d2016 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 14$aThe Fractal Dimension of Architecture /$fby Michael J.

In this book it is used to investigate eighty-five buildings that have been designed by some of the twentieth-century?s most respected and celebrated architects. Including designs by Le Corbusier, Eileen Gray, Frank Lloyd Wright, Robert Venturi, Frank Gehry, Peter Eisenman, Richard Meier and Kazuyo Sejima amongst others, this book uses mathematics to analyse arguments and theories about some of the world?s most famous designs. Starting with 625 reconstructed architectural plans and elevations, and including more than 200 specially prepared views of famous buildings, this book presents the results of the largest mathematical study ever undertaken into architectural design and the largest single application of fractal analysis presented in any field. The data derived from this study is used to test three overarching hypotheses about social, stylistic and personal trends in design, along with five celebrated arguments about twentieth-century architecture. Through this process the book offers a unique mathematical insight into the history and theory of design. 410 0$aMathematics and the Built Environment,$x2512-157X ;$v1 606 $aMathematics 606 $aMathematics in Art and Architecture$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/M34000 615 0$aMathematics. 615 14$aMathematics in Art and Architecture. 676 $a510 700 $aOstwald$b Michael J$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0756106 702 $aVaughan$b Josephine$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254080503321 996 $aThe Fractal Dimension of Architecture$92070241 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04060nam 2200697Ia 450 001 9910956489003321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a9780674044661 010 $a0674044665 024 7 $a10.4159/9780674044661 035 $a(CKB)1000000000805433 035 $a(OCoLC)449791752 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebrary10326104 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000177896 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11156970 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000177896 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10218057 035 $a(PQKB)10931665 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL3300560 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10326104 035 $a(OCoLC)923111832 035 $a(DE-B1597)574555 035 $a(DE-B1597)9780674044661 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC3300560 035 $a(Perlego)1147901 035 $a(EXLCZ)991000000000805433 100 $a19980319d1998 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcn||||||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aIn the hurricane's eye $ethe troubled prospects of multinational enterprises /$fRaymond Vernon 205 $a1st ed. 210 $aCambridge, MA $cHarvard University Press$d1998 215 $a1 online resource (273 p.) 300 $aBibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph 311 08$a9780674445826 311 08$a0674445821 311 08$a9780674004245 311 08$a0674004248 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references (p.

Such enterprises--a few thousand in number, including Microsoft, Toyota, IBM, Siemens, Samsung, and others--now generate about half of the world's industrial output and half of the world's foreign trade; so any change in the relatively benign climate in which they have operated over the past decade will create serious tensions in international economic relations. The warnings of such a change are already here. In the United States, interests such as labor are increasingly hostile to what they see as the costs and uncertainties of an open economy. In Europe, those who want to preserve the social safety net and those who feel that the net must be dismantled are increasingly at odds. In Japan, the talk of "hollowing out" takes on a new urgency as the country's "lifetime employment" practices are threatened and as public and private institutions are subjected to unaccustomed stress. The tendency of multinationals in different countries to find common cause in open markets, strong patents and trademarks, and international technical standards has been viewed as a loss of national sovereignty and a weakening of the nation-state system, producing hostile reactions in home countries. The challenge for policy makers, Vernon argues, is to bridge the quite different regimes of the multinational enterprise and the nation-state. Both have a major role to play, and yet must make basic changes in their practices and policies to accommodate each other. 606 $aInternational business enterprises 606 $aHost countries (Business)$xEconomic policy 606 $aCompetition, International 606 $aPressure groups 615 0$aInternational business enterprises. 615 0$aHost countries (Business)$xEconomic policy. 615 0$aCompetition, International. 615 0$aPressure groups. 676 $a338.8/8 700 $aVernon$b Raymond$f1913-1999.$032851 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910956489003321 996 $aIn the hurricane's eye$94359959 997 $aUNINA
