Content: pt. I. Introducing the immigrant-trade link -- pt. II. The effects of immigrants on international trade in goods and services -- pt. III. The cultural bridging effects of immigrants on trade -- pt. IV. The operability and universality of the immigrant-trade link -- pt. V. Findings, implications and questions that remain

Content: This essential volume examines the influence of immigrants on the process of international economic integration--specifically, their influences on bilateral and multilateral trade flows. It extends beyond the identification and explanation of the immigrant-trade link and offers a more expansive treatment of the subject matter, making it the most comprehensive volume of its kind. The authors present abundant evidence that confirms the positive influences of immigrants on trade between their home and host countries; however the immigrant-trade link may not be universal. The operability of the link is found to depend on a variety of factors related to immigrants' home countries, their host countries, the types of goods and services being traded and the anthropogenic characteristics of the immigrants themselves

Content: Directors and Designers offers the reader insights into the working relationships of people in these significant and creative roles. It charts an understanding of the way in which these roles have developed over the last century with specific chapters on both the personalities and on the works created by these directors and designers. White has selected chapters which look at theatre and site-specific performance, the phenomenological, contested readings and mis-readings that can occur; the power of place and space and the signifying practices of scenography. The use of simultaneous playing spaces of the stage as a feature of twentieth century performance practice, alongside exemplars of collaborative models possible between directors and designers are also addressed in this volume. A string of visual languages for theatrical communication and aesthetics, space and the cognitive reception of design by the audience, and the manipulation of space by the director and designer, illuminate the creative relationship for the reader

Content: "There are two reasons the guide has entered the pantheon of New York books. One is its encyclopedic nature, and the other is its inimitable style--'smart, vivid, funny and opinionated' as the architectural historian Christopher Gray once summed it up in pithy W & W fashion."--The New York Times
