An "instant classic", this genre-bending blend of naturalism, memoir, and social manifesto is a fascinating study for rewilding the city,…
the self, and society (Jeff VanderMeer, New York Times bestselling author). During the real estate crash of the late 2000s, Christopher Brown purchased an empty lot in an industrial section of Austin, Texas. The property—abandoned and full of litter and debris—was an unlikely site for a home. Brown had become fascinated with these empty lots around Austin, so-called &“ruined&” spaces once used for agriculture and industry awaiting their redevelopment. He discovered them to be teeming with natural activity, and embarked on a twenty-year project to live in and document such spaces. There, in our most damaged landscapes, he witnessed the remarkable resilience of wild nature, and how we can heal ourselves by healing the Earth. Beautifully written and philosophically hard-hitting, A Natural History of Empty Lots offers a new lens on human disruption and nature, offering a sense of hope among the edgelands. &“Brown lives far from any conventional battlefield, but he is surrounded by the wreckage of a different war, and he, too, finds hope in cultivating the ruins of nature…A Natural History of Empty Lots is less a departure from the nature writing tradition than a welcome addition to its edgelands.&” —New York Review of Books "The nature writing we need now." —Michelle Nijhuis, author of Beloved Beasts"Incredible" —Kelly Link, Pulitzer Prize finalist

Originally published in 1991, this elegantly written book offers new readers a useful approach to the work of Evelyn Waugh…
and will persuade those familiar with it to look at it afresh. This introduction to Waugh’s novels places them high in the catalogue of great fiction. It claims for them an intellectual coherence, subtlety and seriousness which Waugh’s disconcerting comic gifts and extravagant public and writing persona have tended to put in the shade. In addressing the nature of Waugh’s comic writing William Myers has borrowed George Bataille’s concept of Evil as a convenient way of dealing with the most troubling and exciting aspects of Waugh’s work: its sadism, its childish irresponsibility, its fascination with lunacy and death.

underexplored in the academic and professional literature. One of the most notable examples is exchange-traded notes (ETNs). This book offers a detailed yet highly focused insight into the ETN market.The book presents the key attributes and mechanisms of ETNs, such as their number, providers, assets, listing locations, benchmarks, charges, and objectives, and their links with other parts of the financial system. It examines the empirical data connected to all ETNs that are available globally, showing their features at the individual product and country levels. The book merges the topic of ETNs with the ubiquitous trend in the contemporary investing industry – the increased focus on sustainability and environmental, social, and governance (ESG) issues. It addresses the sustainability compliance of ETNs and their possible utilization in ESG investing, highlighting selected examples as case studies. Their strengths and weaknesses are underscored in this context by comparing them with other solutions and the legal frameworks in the countries in which they are listed.The book will interest the academic community and a broad range of practitioners, such as retail and institutional investors or asset managers.

The invention of the locomotive changed landscapes, cityscapes, social relations, sensibilities prophesied by Hans Christian Andersen it also made huge…
impact on literature: on genres, themes, style. This book is about this commotion, this literary locomotion as it has been represented in Danish literature.The book explores the movements between text and context, and the interplay between literature and social history. Through the prism of the railway, the book provides an overview of Danish literary history, from writers such as Søren Kierkegaard, Georg Brandes, Henrik Pontoppidan, Johannes V. Jensen, Tove Ditlevsen, Peter Høeg. The locomotive of history is a well-known metaphor, but a historical reading of these writers also show the impact of history on this metaphor, from something extraordinary to something more ordinary. Hans Christian Andersen wrote about meeting God face-to-face on the railway. The experience of the modern commuter is closer to what Georges Perec calls the infraordinary. As reflected in the work of Peter Høeg, however, the railway also figures in the intense contemporary debates on decolonizing. The book draws on theoretical insights expressed in concepts such as chronotope, character and literary speed.This book will be of interest to students and scholars in literature studies, history, transport and mobility studies, human geography and urban studies.

Originally published in 1937, this study was modelled on Jacob Viner’s famous work on Canada and when it was published…
it was an important addition to the growing literature in Applied Economics. The period selected was a time of increased foreign borrowings by India and expanding foreign demand for her products. It was also the period when the Gold Exchange Standard was being introduced into the country. The author therefore had the opportunity to find out not only whether the theory of international adjustment was borne out by India’s experience but also showed to what extent, if any, the process of adjustment was affected by the peculiar currency organization. The book discusses the interrelations of foreign borrowings, the barter terms of trade and the price-level of India and throws important light on the currency controversies both old and new. The book will be of interest to students of India’s economic and monetary history.

sociology and proposes a new basic theory of hope linked to the classical theoretical traditions of sociology, to the perspective of its founding women, and to the reconstruction of the contributions of the theories of revolution, utopia, social change, and collective action.In an attempt to understand the sociology of hope as a critical theory and a science of life, this book proposes the central elements in theoretical and epistemic terms for establishing connections between ethics, aesthetics, politics of knowledge, and their current strong modifications in the study of society. As such, the book will appeal to scholars and students interested in emotions, particularly from the disciplines of sociology, anthropology, political science, and psychology.

Originally published in 1983, this book filled a gap in the existing literature, because the effect of credit upon a…
family’s real income was frequently omitted in studies of living standards. The book highlights daily routines and relationships which would otherwise remain hidden, using interviews with pawnbrokers, credit personnel and their customers in the Manchester and Salford areas of the UK. These supplement unusual documentary sources such as pledge records from the inter-war years which suggest how sensitive a barometer the trade was of working-class poverty or prosperity.The pawnshop epitomized the economic dependence of women, whose critical role in domestic management and credit organization is a key theme. Yet indebtedness became the fulfilment of a damning sexual stereotype. Insecurity of income and the physical conditions of life combined to produce a distinct set of values, of which pawning was a central part. At a time when the cost-of-living crisis is affecting the global population, and pawnbroking in the UK is on the increase, this book has an enduring relevance.

Prior to World War I, international trade was conducted based on what is known as the classical gold standard. In…
this system, trade between nations was settled using physical gold. Nations with trade surpluses accumulated gold as payment for their exports. Conversely, nations with trade deficits saw their gold reserves decline as gold flowed out of those nations as payment for their imports, creating debt laden economies, particularly for those countries impacted industrially by the First World War. In 1934, President Roosevelt signed the Gold Reserve Act which transferred the title of gold from private holders to the U.S. Treasury. The legislation successfully stopped the outflow of gold during the Great Depression. Originally published in 1935 this book discusses Roosevelt’s actions and their consequences for the world economy as well as global democracy.
