Land & Development in Latin America

The quest to eradicate poverty has, for some time, been at the forefront of the policies, programs and operations of development agencies. Poverty eradication has also been the subject of considerable research by academics and policy analysts. At the extraordinary Summit convened by the UN in September 2000, the international community agreed to work together to reduce the incidence of ext…

Creative Entrepreneurship

We might describe our world as having retail sanity, but wholesale madness. Details are well understood; the big picture remains unclear. A fundamental challenge—in business as in life—is to integrate the micro and macro such that all things make sense. Humanities majors may well learn a great deal about the world. But they don’t really learn career skills through their studies. Engi…

Challenges of Repatriation and Development

There are few challenges more daunting than that of bringing about an end to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. Central to the conflict and any possible resolution is the complex issue of Palestinian refugees. This issue is very emotional, even existential, to the millions of refugees who are waiting – 58 years later – for a resolution to their plight. But the emotion-la…

Accounting for Managers: Interpreting accounting information for decision-making

This book was motivated by the author’s experience in teaching accounting at post graduate level (MBA and MSc) at Aston Business School and in-house training provided for non-financial managers in many organizations to introduce them to the use of financial tools and techniques. My own education as an accountant was aimed at achieving professional recognition and emphasized an uncritical ac…

Economic Management in a Volatile Environment

Since the 1990s, several developing economies have, to varying degrees, embraced “financial globalisation”, broadly defined as a set of poli- cies that involve allowing for greater openness to cross-border capital flows as well as greater market access to foreign financial institutions. Developing economies that have become increasingly dependent on and able to attract foreign private savin…

Natural Computing Algorithms

Although there is no unique definition of the term natural computing, most commonly the field is considered to consist of three main strands of enquiry: see Fig. 1.1. The first strand concerns the use of natural materials and phenomena for computational purposes such as DNA and molecular computing (computing in vivo); the second strand concerns the application of computer simulations to replica…

THE NEW POLITICAL ECONOMY OF URBAN EDUCATION

The city has emerged in recent years as an indispensable concept for many of the struggles for social justice we are all engaged in—it’s a place where theory meets practice, where the neighborhood organizes against global capitalism, where unequal divisions based on race and class can be mapped out block by block and contested, where the micropolitics of gender and sexual orientation are su…

TRADE SECRECY AND INTERNATIONAL TRANSACTIONS

Ask any business, large or small, to identify one of its most important assets and it is bound to identify its confidential and proprietary information or ‘trade secrets’. This is because it is in the nature of businesses to try to secure a competitive advantage over rivals and inventing the proverbial ‘better mouse- trap’ is one way to do so. Frequently, businesses that invent or crea…

The rise of The Global South

South–South Cooperation (SSC), through enhanced collaboration amongst the countries comprising the Global South, has often been on the front pages since early 1970s, when the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTD) promoted the New International Economic Order (NIEO). However, the birth of the Global South as an entity could perhaps be traced to a 1949 speech, when US Presi…

Prevention of Late-Life Depression

Prevention of depression and its associated common mental disorders is a priority across the life cycle, and particularly in older adults. Currently available data from randomized clinical trials show that the rate of these disorders can be reduced on average 20–25 % over 1–2 years of follow-up. This is important with respect to: (1) reducing the current burden of suffering, even in the con…

Environmental Ethics

Environmental Ethics is one of my three texts on applied ethics that is now being pub- lished by Wiley-Blackwell. The idea behind each of the books, in general, is to present some of the most pressing questions in applied ethics through a mixture of classic essays and some new essays commissioned precisely for these volumes. The result is a dialogue that I think readers will find enriching. …

Communicating to Manage Health and Illness

Our experience of health and illness is shaped by our personal background, social networks, cultural context, and community affiliations. We undertook this edited volume because we believe communication processes are a link between personal, social, cultural, and institutional factors and various fac- ets of health and illness. For example, social networks and the social support they can prov…

The Global New Deal

In March 2009, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown called for a “global new deal whose impact can stretch from the villages of Africa to reforming the financial institutions of London and New York—and giving security to hard-working families in every country.” The prime minister proclaimed the need to “work for a more stable world where we defeat not only global terrorism but global pov…

Experimental Ethics

Academic philosophy has experienced a major upheaval in the last decade. Venturous young philosophers, psychologists, and economists have begun to challenge the traditional stance that philosophy is an undertaking best pursued from the safety and calm of an arm-chair. Instead, they took the gloves off and tried to bring philosophical ques- tions to the experimental laboratory. To date, more th…

Managing Risk and Information Security

Given that security breaches and intrusions continue to be reported daily across organizations of every size, is information security really effective? Given the rapid evolution of new technologies and uses, does the information security group even need to exist? Obviously, this is a somewhat rhetorical question. I cannot imagine that any sizeable organization would operate well without an info…

CAPITALISM AND FREEDOM

ITIS WIDELY BELIEVED that politics and economics are separate and largely unconnected; that individual freedom is a political problem and material welfare an economic problem; and that any kind of political arrangements can be combined with any kind of economic arrangements. The chief contemporary man- ifestation of this idea is the advocacy of "democratic socialism" by many who condemn out of …

From Oikonomia to Political Economy

How did Western economic learning come to claim status as a separate discipline? When – and how – did it begin to define and organize its own field of specialization, vocabulary, areas of interest and methods of study? What kind of methodological problems were raised by the attempt to make economic knowledge a real science? What ties were there between the study of production, exchange and …

Theory of Accumulation and Imperialism

The subject of this study is Rosa Luxemburg’s contribution to economic theory. It arose out of materials gathered for a broader monograph, on the economic views of the Polish–German socialist, that was abandoned by the author. Such a narrowing of the subject-matter may nevertheless have some practical advantages. At a certain stage of research, one of the fundamental duties of the historian…

LINQ

By the time you are holding this book in your hands, I will have 30 years in since the first time I wrote some code. That code was ROM-BASIC on a TRS-80 in Washington grammar school in Owosso, Michigan, and I was in the fifth grade. Making the “tank” slide back and forth shooting blips across the screen was neat. Changing the code to change blip speeds and numbers of targets was exhilaratin…
