Global Change, Regional Response: The New International

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Stallings, Barbara, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book offers a new perspective in studying contemporary development. Part I explores how the ending of the cold war, shifting relations among capitalist powers, changing patterns of finance, and new ideological currents have altered development in four major third-world regions. Part II suggests how development options were molded by the dominant international power in each region: the United States in Latin America, Japan in East and Southeast Asia, and Europe with the international financial institutions in Africa. Part III provides a conceptual framework for analyzing regional performance.

The Electrical Properties of Disordered Metals

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Dugdale, J. S. / Clarke, D. R. / Suresh, S., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The theory of metallic conduction has, until recently, been confined to crystalline metals with atoms in regular arrays. The discovery of solid amorphous alloys led to an explosion of measurements of their electronic properties, and the emergence of a range of interesting low temperature phenomena. The book describes in physical terms the theory of the electrical conductivity, Hall coefficient, magnetoresistance and thermopower of disordered metals and alloys. The author begins by showing how conventional Boltzmann theory can be extended and modified when the mean free path of the conduction electrons becomes comparable with their wavelength and interionic separation. Dugdale explores the consequences of this and tests the theory by applying it to experimental data on metallic glasses. Designed as a self-contained review, the book will appeal to nonspecialist physicists, metallurgists and chemists with an interest in disordered metals.

Direct Methods in the Theory of Elliptic Equations

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Necas, Jindrich / Tronel, Gerard / Kufner, Alois, PUBLISHER: Springer, Necas's famous book Direct methods in the theory of elliptic equations has become standard reference material on the mathematical theory of linear elliptic equations and systems, and also on the related function spaces framework. It provides a concise and self-contained introduction to the modern theory of partial differential equations, the theory of weak solutions and related topics. It is recommended to scientists working in the field of partial differential equations, postgraduate and graduate students, and applied mathematicians. The first chapter is devoted to directs methods, introduction to the Sobolev spaces, weak solution, Lax-Milgram theorem, Galerkin metods and spectral theory. The second chapter deals with the basic properties of Sobolev spaces (imbeddings, traces, compact imbeddings, fractional spaces).The third chapter contains existence and uniqueness theorems for problems, including the Fredholm alternative and systems of equations with variable coefficients. The next chapter describes regularity properties of weak solutions. Chapter 5 deals with applications of Rellich's inequality and Chapter 6 introduces the Sobolev spaces with weights. Finally the last chapter studies regularity of solutions and their dependence on coefficients and also on irregular domains.

Imagining the Impossible: Magical, Scientific, and Religious

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Rosengren, Karl S. / Johnson, Carl N., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, The study of early cognitive development has emphasized the way in which young children act like scientists, testing and revising theories about the physical, biological, and psychological world. Evidence of this early understanding of the natural order has led researchers to reconsider children's thinking about magical, religious, or otherwise supernatural orders. The present volume offers reviews of new lines of research on children's thinking that stretch beyond the ordinary boundaries of reality. More than being "little scientists," children are here considered as "little magicians," "little metaphysicians," "little theologians" and "little story tellers" or "dramatists," imagining other-worldly possibilities.

The Insider-Outsider Theory of Employment and Unemployment

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Lindbeck, Assar, PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), This book provides an accessible, balanced account of the insider-outsider theory of labor market activity. It focuses on how "insiders" (experienced incumbent employees whose jobs are protected by various labor turnover costs) get market power, what they do with that power, and how their activities affect the "outsiders" (who are either unemployed or work in the informal sector). The book examines the effect of insiders' activities on wages, employment, and unemployment, discusses the associated policy implications, and relates the insider-outsider theory to other theories of labor market activity. The central part of the book consists of a series of previously published articles that have been edited to convey a single coherent account of a theory of unemployment that is growing in popularity. Chapters are preceded by overviews summarizing the main ideas and relating them to the book's underlying theme. The concluding chapter points out the predictions and policy implications of the theory. Lindbeck and Snower have taken care to make the main ideas accessible to a wide audience, without sacrificing analytical rigor."The insider-Outside Theory of Employment and Unemployment is concerned with both the causes and consequences of insider power. It emphasizes unemployment in chapters that survey modern unemployment theories and provide a formal comparison of the insider-outsider and efficiency-wage explanations of involuntary unemployment. Other topics include labor turnover costs (how they arise from insiders' activities and from job security legislation, and how they give rise to insider power), Union activities (how unions can amplify labor turnover costs, and provide insiders with newtools of rent-creation, such as strikes and work-to-rule actions), and the effect that insider activities can have in perpetuating the effects of temporary macroeconomic shocks. Assar Lindbeck is Professor of International Economics and Director of the Institute of International Economics at the University of Stockholm. Dennis J. Snower is Professor of Economics, Birbeck College, University of London.

Soundings in Atlantic History: Latent Structures and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Bailyn, Bernard / Denault, Patricia L. / Behrendt, Stephen D., PUBLISHER: Harvard University Press, These innovative essays probe the underlying unities that bound the early modern Atlantic world into a regional whole and trace some of the intellectual currents that flowed through the lives of the people of the four continents. Drawn together in a comprehensive Introduction by Bernard Bailyn, the essays include analyses of the climate and ecology that underlay the slave trade, pan-Atlantic networks of religion and of commerce, legal and illegal, inter-ethnic collaboration in the development of tropical medicine, science as a product of imperial relations, the Protestant international that linked Boston and pietist Germany, and the awareness and meaning of the Atlantic world in the mind of that preeminent intellectual and percipient observer, David Hume. In his Introduction Bailyn explains that the Atlantic world was never self-enclosed or isolated from the rest of the globe but suggests that experiences in the early modern Atlantic region were distinctive in ways that shaped the course of world history.

Kant and the Foundations of Analytic Philosophy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hanna, Robert, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Robert Hanna presents a fresh view of the Kantian and analytic traditions that have dominated continental European and Anglo-American philosophy over the last two centuries, and of the connections between them. But this is not just a study in the history of philosophy, for out of this emerges Hanna's original approach to two much-contested theories that remain at the heart of contemporary philosophy. Hanna puts forward a new 'cognitive-semantic' interpretation of transcendental idealism, and a vigorous defense of Kant's theory of analytic and synthetic necessary truth, making this compelling reading for all who are interested in these fundamental philosophical issues.

Retinoids in Normal Development and Teratogenesis

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Morriss-Kay, Gillian, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Retinoic acid is of major importance in the regulation of normal gene expression in both embryonic and adult cells, through binding to, and activation of, specific retinoic acid receptors in the nucleus. Other nuclear receptors may bind to different retinoids. In the embryo, tissue and stage-specific distribution patterns of the different receptors, and of the cytoplasmic retinoid binding proteins, provide an underlying basis for the richly varied and changing pattern of retinoid-related developmental gene expression. This book provides an up-to-date review of recent progress in understanding the roles of retinoids in both normal and abnormal differentiation, morphogenesis, and pattern formation. It integrates molecular, cellular and embryonic approaches.

The Debated Mind: Evolutionary Psychology Versus Ethnography

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Whitehouse, Harvey, PUBLISHER: Berg Publishers, In a further development of the nature-nurture debate, this collection of articles questions how the human mind influences the content and organization of culture. In the study of mental activity, can the effects of evolution and history be teased apart? Evolutionary psychologists argue that cultural transmission is constrained by our genetic inheritance. Few social and cultural anthropologists have found this argument to be relevant to their work and many would doubt its validity. This book uniquely pitches the arguments for innatism against ethnographic perspectives that call into question the theoretical foundations of orthodox evolutionary biology and cognitive science. Ultimately the aim of the debate is to create an original set of mutually compatible theories that will open up new areas for interdisciplinary research.

Human Development Report: International Cooperation at a

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: United Nations Development Program, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, Five years after signing the Millennium Declaration, and at the start of the 10-year countdown to the target date for the Millennium Development Goals, the world's governments are at a crossroads. If they continue with business as usual, will be the year in which the pledge of the Millennium Declaration is broken. If they act now to deliver on their pledges to the world's poorest people, they can make the start of a decade for development, helping countries to get back on track for achieving the Millennium Development Goals by and forging a new, more equitable pattern of globalization. This year's Human Development Report takes stock of human development, including progress towards the MDGs. Looking beyond statistics, it highlights the human costs of missed targets and broken promises. Extreme inequality between countries and within countries is identified as one of the main barriers to human development--and as a powerful brake on accelerated progress towards the MDGs. New approaches to international cooperation are vital if the promise of the Millennium Declaration is to be realized. Practical action is needed to make the next 10 years a "decade for development." Focusing on aid, trade and security--three of the central pillars of international cooperation-- Human Development Report sets out a bold analysis of the problems and identifies solutions. It argues that rich countries need to move beyond encouraging words to align their policies with the commitments made in the Millennium Declaration.

British Parliamentary Parties: Policy and Power

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brand, Jack, PUBLISHER: Oxford University Press, USA, This book examines the role of the British Conservative and Labour parliamentary parties in the development of government policy since . Focusing on major policy fields--agriculture, education, housing, defense, the economy, and Scottish affairs--Brand argues that the influence of back-benchers has been consistently underestimated, and that the interdependence of front- and back-benchers frequently produces surprising and significant effects on policy development.

The Economics of Imperfect Competition: A Spatial Approach

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Greenhut, Melvin L. / Norman, George / Hung, Chao-Shun, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book takes a new approach to traditional price theory and to the analysis of imperfect competition. It represents a breakthrough in the development of a 'new' microeconomic theory. Increasingly, it has been recognized that the perfectly competitive paradigm is inappropriate to the explanation of pricing behaviour in many 'real life' markets characterized by a significant separation between producers and consumers. The spatial perspective adopted by the authors provides a natural separation of markets, but provides as well a powerful analogy for apparently nonspatial issues such as product differentiation, pricing over time, problems of storage and transportation, and the economics of intraindustry trade and of the multinational enterprise. A major concern of The Economics of Imperfect Competition: A Spatial Approach is to make these analogies explicit by applying this spatial analysis to a wide variety of nonspatial problems. In addition, the analysis and results presented in this book are shown to carry signficant policy implications with respect, for example, to the Robinson-Patman legislation, antimerger policies, and antidumping legislation. In particular, the authors have addressed issues that are of increasing concern to specialists, researchers, policy makers, and students in the areas of price theory, industrial organization, international trade, and regional and urban economics.
