Abstract

This volume is an exploration of the image that is the Traveler/Gypsy, the migrant and the "Other".

Abstract

This book is about music improvisation. It forges exciting and provocative new links between a range of theories and practices in texts that explore topics as varied as object-oriented ontology, game theory, ethical responsibility and breath.

Low-cost countries are investing in the growth of their software industry. And, with this i...
