"In this gorgeous, aspirational work, Burns, editor-in-chief of Kinfolk magazine, collects 'stories about nature as nourishment' along with photographs from homes across the globe to inspire people to bring more nature into their own abodes. . . . Expertly evoking a mood of understated luxury, this stunning spread will have design junkies drooling." -Publishers Weekly A gardener with a secret oasis on a Parisian rooftop. An artist making faux flowers to brighten Manhattan apartments. A family of ranchers rewilding the American outback. Anchored around the idea of nature as nourishment, The Kinfolk Garden explores lush gardens and plant filled homes around the world and introduces the inspiring people who coax them into bloom. Through visits to friends old and new, the Kinfolk team learns the secrets to a good garden, and what good a garden can do for our self-care, creativity and communities. Though many of the people we meet along the way champion the idea of following natural instincts rather than a set of prescriptive garden rules, there are practical tips throughout the book that offer advice on everything from growing your own produce to foraging for artful arrangements to simply keeping your houseplants alive a little longer than usual.The Kinfolk Garden is an invitation to engage with nature-to care for it, create with its beauty and cultivate new relationships around it-and offers inspiration and guidance to anyone looking to bring a little more greenery into their life.

The Quarrel Between Poetry and Philosophy: Perspectives Across the Humanities is an interdisciplinary study of the abiding quarrel to which poet-philosopher Plato referred centuries ago in the Republic. The book presents eight chapters by four humanities scholars that historically contextualize and cross-interpret aspects of the quarrel in question. The authors share the view that although poets and philosophers continually quarrel, a harmonious union between the two groups is achievable in a manner promising application to a variety of contemporary cultural-political and aesthetic debates, all of which have implications for the current status of the humanities.

The implementation of management accounting change constitutes much more than the selection of what may be perceived as being 'optimal' accounting systems and techniques, followed by a 'technical' process of implementation. Selecting and implementing the 'right' accounting systems and techniques and the technical aspects of implementation are important, but change implementation and change management also involves important behavioural and cultural issues that must be understood and addressed. The main focus of "The Challenge of Management Accounting Change" is on understanding the processes involved in the implementation of management accounting change and the complexities of, and difficulties involved in, changing management accounting systems, techniques and roles in the UK. This book outlines a framework for interpreting and understanding management accounting change as an on-going process and a range of case studies are used to illustrate both successful and unsuccessful implementations, drawing out the various lessons that can be learned and suggesting some pointers for those embarking on a programme of management accounting change.It describes the finding of a research project investigating management accounting change in the UK. It focuses on the difficulties involved in changing management accounting systems. It is written by experts in the field of management accounting.

This volume contains the proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Optimal Design and Control, held in Arlington, Virginia, USA, in October 1997. The workshop was a gathering of engineers and mathematicians involved in research in control and optimization, with the emphasis placed on optimal design problems governed by partial differential inequalities. The issues presented have applications to aerodynamic design, fluid flows, materials processing, inverse design and feedback control.

Contemporary Japanese American and Mexican American Poets examines how contemporary Japanese American and Mexican American poets imagine their past, present, and future through shared aesthetics. Their poems explore topics surrounding immigration, internment, and racialization, as part of understanding intertwining strategies of exclusion both communities have faced. Their poetry forms new counternarratives that simultaneously critique the injustices of the past and leave room for imagining radically new futures free from those injustices. The authors argue that the similarity between Japanese American poetry and Mexican American poetry is evidence of an implied lyrical solidarity: poetic manifestations of an interminority awareness of unexpectedly shared histories and of the imaginative possibilities of thinking through and past them. This lyrical solidarity is traced from origins of Asian American and Latinx movements in the 1960s and 1970s and move up to the present moment to pinpoint some commonalities of poetic expression in the work of major poets, ranging from foundational luminaries such as Rodolfo “Corky” Gonzales, Toyo Suyemoto, Juan Felipe Herrera, and Lawson Fusao Inada to more contemporary figures such as Ariana Brown, Kimiko Hahn, Ana Castillo, David Mura, and Ada Limón. This book on multiethnic comparative poetics is primarily aimed for scholars, researchers, and postgraduates in lyric poetry and comparative literature, as well as ethnic studies and diasporic studies.

Author John Burns, cohost of the international program Family Success, shares how when men discover the miracle of a father’s hug, they can change the life of their children forever. Something miraculous happens when a father wraps his arms around his child, almost as if a heart-shaped hole begins to fill with the miracle substance called “life.” When a father learns how to love their children unconditionally and express that love through the miracle of a hug, they will find that the miracle that blesses their children will bless them as well. In the dangerous world children are growing up in today—addiction, teen pregnancy, eating disorders, plummeting self-image, and a multitude of other threats can harden their lives in a second. This guide to discovering the power of a hug from a father and understanding the complex issues children face today shares a message of hope, healing, and unconditional love. John Burns outlines revolutionary concepts that can redirect the life of a child and reinforce the teachings and values that fathers everywhere are striving to instill.

This volume contains the proceedings of the Second International Workshop on Optimal Design and Control, held in Arlington, Virginia, 30 September-3 Octo ber, 1997. The First Workshop was held in Blacksburg, Virginia in 1994. The proceedings of that meeting also appeared in the Birkhauser series on Progress in Systems and Control Theory and may be obtained through Birkhauser. These workshops were sponsored by the Air Force Office of Scientific Re search through the Center for Optimal Design and Control (CODAC) at Vrrginia Tech. The meetings provided a forum for the exchange of new ideas and were designed to bring together diverse viewpoints and to highlight new applications. The primary goal of the workshops was to assess the current status of research and to analyze future directions in optimization based design and control. The present volume contains the technical papers presented at the Second Workshop. More than 65 participants from 6 countries attended the meeting and contributed to its success. It has long been recognized that many modern optimal design problems are best viewed as variational and optimal control problems. Indeed, the famous problem of determining the body of revolution that produces a minimum drag nose shape in hypersonic How was first proposed by Newton in 1686. Optimal control approaches to design can provide theoretical and computational insight into these problems. This volume contains a number of papers which deal with computational aspects of optimal control.
