After settling in to his second term, Brazil’s president Lula da Silva has pledged to improve on his country’s woefully inadequate
education system. This means addressing illiteracy, which is one of Brazil’s most serious development issues. While Brazil
has the potential to be one of the world’s largest economies, it is hampered by high rates of functional illiteracy. Furthermore,
those that can read are non-readers. Consequently the Brazilian government has pledged to resolve illiteracy and launched
a nationwide reading program in 2005 with the optimistic goal of increasing the national reading rate by 50%. The article
analyzes the political risk in Brazil in light of the da Silva administration’s stated objectives. It will also assess the
impact of state literacy campaigns will have on the publishing industry and the potential for investment in the country. Finally,
it will discuss the importance of foreign investors in Brazil’s development goals. 相似文献

Summary Now more than ever good translations are proving to be vitally important to fulfilling Shoichi Noma’s mission of advancing
good relationships between cultures. With the emergence of dozens of world-class Japanese writers, the translators of Japanese
literature have acquired a new significance and a new importance. No longer are they required to simply handle the language
like an exotic and precious commodity but they must prepare a writer’s work to compete with literature from around the globe
and let others understand the issues at their very heart of the Japanese people.
Indeed, the selection committee’s choice of Murakami’s Wind-Up Bird Chronicle is an apt example of how literature at its very best can span cultural divides to promote mutual understanding of very complicated
and important world issues. Written for Japanese to help them understand the devastation of war, it is a rare and timely book
that confronts Japan’s experience head on. Ironically, Noma’s idea that books are silent ambassadors, an idea born from agony
and defeat, so many years later is helping the world come together towards a unified vision of peace and understanding.
“Literature has been described as a means of exchange between the hearts of people. Literary translation, then, is the building
of bridges so that all peoples of the world can interact in this way.”

The principles of J.S. Mill’s induction are formulated. These principles are developed and formalized for the five J.S. Mill’s
inductive methods (the method of agreement, the method of difference, the joint method of agreement and difference, the method
of residues, and the method of concomitant variations). The method of agreement, the method of difference, and the joint method
of agreement and difference are considered in Part I. The possible strategies of plausible reasoning that realize the interaction
of Mill’s induction, analogy, and abduction are formulated. These strategies are considered to be cognitive reasoning (justification
is provided). 相似文献

In this short article, Henry Rosenbloom, the founder of Australian independent publisher Scribe, complains about the tactic
of UK-based publishers buying ‘Commonwealth’ rights and preventing Australian publishers from acquiring separate Australian
rights. ‘UK publishers are not entitled to Australia as a territory. It is our country, our market, and our industry,’ he
writes. This article was originally published in The Age newspaper in early 2008, then on Rosenbloom’s blog, and it was the catalyst for a spirited debate at this year’s London Book
Fair. 相似文献

Conversation is key and as the communication landscape shifts rapidly, harnessing ‘e’ is pivotal in extending ‘story’ as digital
evolves, catapulting publishing from analogue to digital. Harnessing ‘e’ is an exciting and effective way to add value, but
for ‘e’ to be implemented successfully and seamlessly requires more than a standard ‘roll out’ of strategy. Staying Single [1] was my MA dissertation project in the form of a fictional blog that bridged a fictitious digital world with a real physical
one as I supplemented Sophie’s story with souvenirs, additional digital content, UGC, and social media elements, all channelled
through Sophie’s fictional storyworld. This study was an investigation into the effects that interactivity and community might
bring to contemporary fiction, traditionally published in print form, by women, for women. The presentation of Staying Single as a cross-media, digital story challenged conventional boundaries for story enjoyment and involvement and attempted to vastly
expand the story universe, recording how the option for interactivity impacted the story. Readers were offered choices to
receive Staying Single through blog feeds, by email or downloaded podcasts, with additional options for involvement through multiple platforms—‘Pulling
Power’ ‘relationship’ documentaries, SMS alerts and ‘meeting’ Sophie in Second Life. My current transmedia romantic comedy
fiction, Loving NY will push these resources and opportunities further, enhancing and driving the story whilst engaging and interacting with
readers. Transmedia storyworld development is extremely fast-moving and with magazines offering web-cam enabled augmented
realities and iPhone apps allowing readers to GPS tag co-readers, these are extremely exciting times! To harness ‘e’ is to
offer options—levels of immersion and engagement, multi-platform choices, perhaps even linear or non-linear narratives with
the intention of organically reaching a wider readership far beyond the restrictions of print based novels. 相似文献

The U.S. Supreme Court’s 1991 decision in the Feist case wiped away the idea that “sweat of the brow” is adequate for a copyright
claim. The history of the relevant issues is discussed and the Court’s decision is examined. The decision has a number of
implications for publishers but leaves many questions unanswered. 相似文献

This paper considers a multicriteria choice model that includes multiple choices, a numerical vector criterion, and an asymmetric
preference relationship of the decision maker (DM). The solution of the multicriteria choice problem is a set of selected
choices. Certain “rational” axioms are assumed to be true. Provided that the DM’s preference relationship is known only partially,
one cannot find a set of selected choices; nevertheless, an upper-bound estimate can be obtained from the available information.
The information about a DM’s preferences is considered to be of the point-multiple type. This means that the DM is ready to
take losses in some finite groups of criteria for the sake winning in some other group. The information about the DM’s preferences
can be used to develop a new vector criterion and build a restriction of the Pareto set that produces a more precise estimate
of the unknown set of the selected variants than the original Pareto set. 相似文献

Canada’s book trade is fascinating not only because it really consists of two book trades—the Anglophone and the Francophone—but
also because it is a site of intense and sustained policy interventions designed to foster greater domestic control. Examining
the country’s book policies, Statistics Canada data, trade association membership rosters and trade directories, this paper
reveals that Canada’s contemporary book trade is characterized by three features: circa 40 years of government interventions
in response to foreign dominance; the central role of foreign firms despite these interventions; and the dominance of Toronto
and Montreal as domestic sites of book production. 相似文献

The article documents the editorial relationship between Peter Carey and his New York based editor for Knopf, Gary Fisketjon,
who worked with Carey on his True History of the Kelly Gang. This account provides the basis for a discussion of how globalised publishing, while promising unity—a single text across
all territories—has instead introduced a tension into the previously cohesive triad of author, editor, and the single authorized
text. As Fisketjon’s experience lays bare, major contemporary texts that are published in multiple editions in different global
centers may well proceed through competing or at least parallel editing processes with different presses, different editors,
and in different publishing territories. The authorized single edition, even of major literary texts, has been replaced by
competing editions. The single edit and editor have been replaced by competing “servant[s] of the writer” (to use Fisketjon’s
phrase). Cohesion, while not quite giving way to disunity, gives way to multiplicity and plurality. The experience of the
Kelly Gang book is cast against a longer narrative of Carey’s interactions with editors including the University of Queensland Press
(UQP) from the 1970s and Faber from the 1980s. 相似文献

The development of the publishing industry for children and young adults is very recent in Morocco. Indeed it was in the 1980s
that people became aware of its importance for future generations. The first national publications were mainly in Arabic language,
stories were very short, books were of paperback format and the subjects were very much dominated by moral, social and religious
didacticism. In the late 1990s, publishers started being more and more concerned with the appearance of the book (size, cover,
illustrations, topic, etc.) and there are nowadays two publishers specialized only in children’s books—Yanbow al Kitab and
Yomad—who produce books that respond to international norms. They are both very active in promoting reading and especially
allowing children from disadvantaged social backgrounds to have access to books, price being a main constraint for those children.
But there is still a lack of publishers specialized in children’s books in Morocco (two publishers for the whole country),
not enough pleasant reading spaces and no real government policy to allow mass access by making books cheaper. 相似文献

George Newnes became one of the most influential popular publishers of the age of New Journalism, and was probably Britian’s
first media magnate. He published a vast number and variety of journals in the period from 1881 until his death in 1910, editing
some of these, but leaving an impression upon all of them. Newnes’s periodicals included Tit-Bits (1881), Strand Magazine
(1891), The Million (1892), Westminster Gazette (1893), Country Life (1897), The Ladies Field (1898), Wide World Magazine
(1898), The Captain (1899), and C.B. Fry’s Magazine (1904). Newnes was an innovator, and a publishing entrepreneur. This paper
will focus on the entrepreneurial aspects of Newnes’s publishing ventures and the novel technological and promotional techniques
pioneered by him. The analysis will focus upon such techniques as promotional schenesm advertising, production and illustration,
the employment and promotion of popular authors, editors and illustrators, publicity, market segmentation, and financing.
The concluding section consists of an investigation into some of the rhetoric that has been applied to Newnes’s publishing
career, and the way in which, as publishing entrepreneur and media magnate, Newnes’s successes have been cast within a continuing
debate over popular literature, New Journalism and the commercialization of the popular press in the late-nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries.
Kate Jackson is currently completing a Ph.D. in History on “George Newnes, New Journalism and the Reading Publics, 1881–1910.” 相似文献

Keeping cultures alive: archives and Indigenous cultural and intellectual property rights 总被引：1，自引：1，他引：0
Archives play an important role in the cultural survival of Indigenous Australians. The wave of colonisation has had such
an impact on Indigenous communities and the transmission of culture that access to records, materials, photographs and films
is, for Indigenous people, a key way of keeping culture. Indigenous cultural and intellectual property rights are Indigenous
people’s rights to their heritage. Archival organisations and museums collect and preserve Indigenous people’s culture. In
the past, this has been from an ethnographic eye, but the contemporary challenge is to work with Indigenous people to make
the archives alive, to foster and promote Indigenous cultural knowledge and cultural expression, and innovation. 相似文献

Blackwell’s Approval Program Coverage and Cost Study details subject areas and list prices of monographs covered by our New
Titles program for academic library collections. The Study reports on titles treated, not on copies sold—each title is counted
once, whether it was purchased by one library or by hundreds.
The Study presents information on numbers of titles treated and average list price, arranged by Blackwell’s subjects and then
by LC class, for all publishers and then for university presses exclusively. It also includes a detailed report of all treated
titles by NLM class. Additionally, the report includes a breakdown of the non-subject characteristics (e.g., language and
format) of treated titles. Since most of Blackwell’s Approval libraries are not profiled to receive books for titles coded
with the Non-Subject Parameters (NSPs) Popular works and Lower undergraduate texts, we exclude titles with these NSPs from
the Coverage and Cost Study.

Corporate Tweeting: Analysing the Use of Twitter as a Marketing Tool by UK Trade Publishers 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
Anne Thoring 《Publishing Research Quarterly》2011,27(2):141-158
The rapid growth and popularity of the microblogging service Twitter has been one of the most recent phenomena of the Internet,
which opens up opportunities for businesses in general and publishers in particular to do marketing in a dialogue- and consumer-oriented
way. This survey analysed UK trade publishers’ use of Twitter with the specific objective of finding out what influence a
publisher’s size has on its Twitter adoption, patterns of use and the content of its Tweets. Overall, the results suggest
that a publisher’s size primarily affects its general Twitter use, while being less influential regarding its patterns of
use and the tweeted content. 相似文献

This paper provides a preliminary report of a 5-year study that looks at graduate students’ perceptions of the information
professions, and examines if and how perceptions change as they progress through their program of study, as well as over the
years. The survey population is made up of students in the three streams of study (archives, information systems, and library
and information science) at the Faculty of Information Studies (FIS) at the University of Toronto. The data, gathered from
three iterations of a self-administered questionnaire over one and a half years, includes demographic profiles, as well as
students’ views on the social status of various professions, including archivists and records analysts. Also included are
students’ views on how much computing knowledge is required, salary expectations, career prospects, expectations for career
and personal achievements, and reasons for pursuing the master’s degree. We examine differences between students in different
streams of study, and differences between groups of respondents surveyed at different points in time. We hope that our findings
will help us improve recruitment of individuals into the information professions. 相似文献

Biographers and book historians both study life histories, and practitioners of the two disciplines have much to learn from
one another. The author illustrates this point with a document from a publisher’s archive which reveals a great deal about
an author’s career as well as about publishing practices, and with a bibliographical puzzle which tells much about censorship
in the British publishing industry while at the same time illuminating an important feature of a writer’s career and life.
He is the author of several books and is at work on a biography of William Styron. 相似文献

Borderland, a journal of the occult, was published in London by William T. Stead from 1893 through 1897. Its goal was to be
at once receptive to new ideas and scientific in their examination. Stead’s early career is reviewed, and Borderland, is described.
The topics investigated included spirit communication, spirit photography, Martian, life, ghosts, dual personalities, and
palmistry.
Grace Eckley has found that William T. Stead is the biographical original of James Joyce’s hero inFinnegan’s Wake and has published several articles on Stead and Joyce. She promotes the William T. Stead Memorial Society and edits the journalNews Stead, which began publication in November 1992. 相似文献

This article investigates the long-term transformations in England’s documentary storage regime wrought by the Reformation.
Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries famously resulted in the dispersal and destruction of many medieval texts and
records, but he and his successors sponsored efforts to retrieve lost materials, which they then used in the formation of
ecclesiastical policy. Elizabethan counselors expanded the scope of this project, applying their expertise in gathering records
to secular issues and assiduously preserving their own documents. During James I’s reign, the Earl of Salisbury’s patronage
gave new authority to the State Paper Office, encouraging the consolidation of a centralizing archive that integrated earlier
methods of collection, preservation, and indexing in its operation and construction. The article thus offers an analytic trajectory
tying the practices of Reformation to the development of expanding national archives in the seventeenth century. 相似文献

Model checking techniques are recognized to provide reliable and copious results. Instead of examining
a few cases only – as it is done in testing – model checking includes the whole state space
in mathematical proofs of correctness. Yet, this completeness is seen as a drawback as the state explosion
problem is hard to handle. In our industrial case study, we apply automated model checking techniques to
an innovative elevator system, the TWIN by ThyssenKrupp. By means of abstraction and nondeterminism, we
cope with runtime behaviour and achieve to efficiently prove our specification’s validity. The elevator’s
safety requirements are exhaustively expressed in temporal logic along with real-world and algorithmic prerequisites,
consistency properties, and fairness constraints. Beyond verifying system safety for an actual installation,
our case study demonstrates the rewarding applicability of model checking at an industrial scale. 相似文献
