![]() ![]() In the hands of another author it might amount to tedious specifying and dry-as-interstellar-dust worldbuilding, but Robinson makes it come thrillingly, grippingly alive. This artificial mind is happy to provide great scads of data about every aspect of the ship. Indeed, Robinson foregrounds the bare facts of this voyage by giving most of his narration over to the ship’s central computer as it painstakingly works towards a de facto Turing test pass. Tau Ceti has many planets, around one of which is a moon with good levels of oxygen and no indigenous life: a perfect blank slate for new colonists. The ship has been flying for 160 years and is now approaching its target system, undertaking the ticklish business of slowing from 0.1-of-light-speed to a more manageable velocity. Inside are 12 separate ecosystems, from tundra to tropical, each with their own human population, maximised for diversity of flora and fauna. ![]() ![]() Her world is two huge wheels, spun to imitate gravity, fixed around a long central axle aimed at the star Tau Ceti. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This suggests that IMF programs have the biggest impact on expectations during periods of great uncertainty and less of an impact when countries are subject to minor shocks. Once recovery is underway, and economic uncertainty diminishes, it appears that IMF programs cease to have a statistically significant effect on the expectations of economic agents. ![]() IMF programs during periods of collapsing growth appear to reinforce underlying expectations for the future they are associated with positive expectations for those with an optimistic outlook and negative expectations for those with a negative outlook. Using a multinomial probit model, we find that IMF loans appear to have a strong effect on agent expectations in the early years, through the inflow of real money, and through the signaling effect. Previous studies, in contrast, have looked at indirect measures, such as capital flows or yield spreads, to assess the impact of IMF programs on economic expectations.

The idea that a place can somehow know me makes no sense to me at all. I should say from the outset that I find this aspect of Macfarlane’s work difficult to relate to. Although not wishing to claim to be a mystic he nevertheless sounds mystical when he thinks we should be asking of any strong (sic) landscape “What do I know when I am in this place that I can know nowhere else? And then, vainly, what does this place know of me that I cannot know of myself”. He lives in a world (inhabited, too, by writers past) that in walking ancient paths one might “slip back out of this modern world”. It is his imagination that makes his writing most distinctive as he explores ghosts and voices which he feels haunt ancient paths. The author describes the subject of the book as “the relationship between paths, walking and imagination”. He has published four books in this area to date: Mountains of the Mind – A history of a Fascination (2003), The Wild Places (2007), The Old Ways – A Journey on Foot (2012) and (jointly written with Dan Richards), Holloway (2013). ![]() ![]() His research and writing interests include the nature-writing tradition and travel writing – mostly about walking.

Here, Twohey and Kantor take us behind the scenes of their Pulitzer Prize–winning investigation, and its journey to the screen. When the movie opens on November 18th, Twohey’s and Kantor’s personal lives will be on display, alongside the bravery of the victims who talked to them about Harvey Weinstein’s sexual predation.
