JOAN ROBINSON Robinson's early contributions tended to be fundamental extensions of Neoclassical theory: her 1941 paper on the theory of cost actually served, paradoxically, to assist Neoclassical general equilibrium theory dodge Piero Sraffa's (1926) critique (which is why it elicited so much praise from Viner). Robinson was quick to move on beyond her theory of imperfect competition - in spite of the fact that its success in modern textbooks. Robinson was also intensely interested in problems in underdeveloped and developing countries - a natural outgrowth of her work on growth - and made substantial contributions in that direction as well. cepa.newschool.edu /het/profiles/robinson.htm   (1380 words)

Profile Kim Stanley Robinson Robinson's characters are often scientists or students of nature who are drawn into conflict with systems of profit and exploitation, joining social movements that, in Robinson's future and alternative histories, actually succeed in fundamentally changing society along ecological, egalitarian, and democratic lines. Robinson is routinely chastised in both science fiction and mainstream venues for embracing this political, utopian sensibility. Robinson's novels ask each of us to challenge exploitation and injustice, question what we believe and the way we live, and have the courage to create. www.januarymagazine.com /profiles/ksrobinson.html   (1731 words)

The Continuing Significance of David Robinson's Plagiarism Career As was Robinson's pattern, although he referenced the plagiarized source at some point in his text, he appropriated long stretches of text without using quotations or identifying the earlier volume as the source of the material. Robinson apparently ceased plagiarizing after the Levine incident and remained "plagiarism free" for 20 years, although for most of this period he had left research and writing for university administration. Robinson's Monash opponents pointed out that Robinson (1976) had lifted this and other passages from Roebuck and Kessler, the revelation of which finally sealed Robinson's fate as vice chancellor at Monash. www.peele.net /debate/robinson.html   (3055 words)

Amazon.com: Robinson (New Directions Classics): Books: Muriel Spark The ruminative Robinson is distinct among her novels for a number of reasons, not the least of which is its resemblance to the traditional realistic novel. Beneath the veneer of civility and cooperation that Robinson subtly enforces, the tension, ambivalence, and dislike among the four gradually increases, until a strange violence erupts and the survivors are forced to arm themselves against one another. Robinson is not written in the high satiric style for which Spark is most admired, nor is it an overtly experimental novel like The Driver's Seat (1970) or Not To Disturb (1971). www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0811215180?v=glance   (1002 words)

Charles Robinson Biography Robinson's grandfather had made a living by engraving the drawings of other artists onto wood so that the resulting blocks could be incorporated with the metal type to be inked and pressed against paper to make multiple copies of newspapers, magazines and books.

Amazon.com: Robinson: Books: Chris Petit As Robinson moves from cheesy skinflicks to voyeuristic moralities, "little vignettes on the nature of power and control," and finally to an epic pornographic folly which coheres only in his own pathological imagination, Petit accordingly scales up his own narrative into a grand fable of lost identities in a disintegrating cultural landscape. Robinson then vanishes--apparently drowned--only to resurrect himself as a producer of low-budget porno films and impresario to a motley company of actors. Christopher Petit's "Robinson" is one of the finest and most neglected novels of the last twenty years. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1862074631?v=glance   (1117 words)

Petit has used the slowly emerging Robinson mythos to good advantage, adding and building on it, creating a novel that h as much in common with the tone of Céline and the Kees poems; here also is a novel that journeys through the night. Robinson is beguiling, mysterious, strangely familiar, charming, deceitful, dangerous, tragic and wilful. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/1862074631   (1070 words)
