Euroscepticism in Southern Europe: A Diachronic Perspective
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Susannah, Verney / Verney, Susannah, PUBLISHER: Routledge, The referenda in France and the Netherlands underlined the growing legitimacy problems of the European Union, by signaling serious public dissatisfaction with the current direction of European integration. In the aftermath of the constitutional debacle, an examination of the origins, evolution and prospects of opposition to the European integration project appears particularly timely. As a laboratory for the study of attitudes towards European integration, Southern Europe offers a particularly rich range of case studies, including a founder member (Italy), three 'second generation' states (Greece, Spain and Portugal), two recent entrants (Cyprus and Malta) and a negotiating candidate (Turkey). In addition, all seven states have been closely linked to the integration project since the era of the European Community, with four members of this group being the first states to sign Association Agreements with the European Community in the s and s. Southern Europe also covers the spectrum in terms of size, including large, medium and small states. The volume traces the evolution of euroscepticism in each South European country, assessing its significance and highlighting both continuity and change. Covering both eliteparty and popular euroscepticism, the volume illuminates the factors which have shaped opposition to integration and the form and content which it has assumed in each country. This book was published as a special issue of South European Society & Politics.
Writing in the Academic Disciplines, : A Curricular
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Russell, David R., PUBLISHER: Southern Illinois University Press, In this singular study, David R. Russell provides a history of writing instruction outside general composition courses in American secondary and higher education, from the founding of public secondary schools and research universities in the s through the spread of the writing-across-the-curriculum movement in the s. Russell's task is to examine the ways writing was taught in the myriad curricula that composed the varied structure of secondary and higher education in modern America. He begins with the assertion that, before the s, writing was taught as ancillary to speaking. As a result, formal writing instruction was essentially training in handwriting, the mechanical process of transcribing sound to visual form. From this point, Russell carefully examines academic writing, its origins and its teaching, from a broad institutional perspective. He looks at the history of little-studied genres of student writing such as the research paper, lab report, and essay examination. Tracing the effects of increasing specialization on writing instruction, he notes how two new ideals of academic life, research and utilitarian service, shaped writing instruction into its modern forms. Finally, he contributes the definitive history of the current writing-across-the-curriculum movement, providing a study of the long tradition of other WAC efforts with an analysis of why they have waned.

Keep True: A Life in Politics
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pawley, Howard / Moist, Paul, PUBLISHER: University of Manitoba Press, Howard Pawley served as Premier of Manitoba during one of the most turbulent periods in the province's history. Not since the days of Louis Riel has the province faced such intense and divisive issues as constitutional reform and French-language rights as it did during the s, when Manitoba took centre stage in setting social policies that would affect Canada's national identity. Howard Pawley's political principles were first tested in the fight to bring public auto insurance to Manitoba. In Keep True, he describes this early political battle, and the many that would follow -- human rights and marriage law reform; the explosive French-language debate that left the province caught between the federal government and Quebec separatists; the CF-18 fighter jet controversy; and the doomed negotiations of the Meech Lake Accord. He tells us what went right and what went wrong, offering unique insight into current national debates. From his first winning campaign while confined to a hospital bed to the sudden fall of his government at the hands of a rogue political insider, Pawley's memoirs are an engaging and refreshingly honest look at a political career that had a profound effect on a province and its people.
DONALD GATTINO 4 MESI DOLCISSIMO GRIGIO CON CALZINI BIANCHI
Ciao a tutti, sono Donald! Sono un micetto molto socievole con gli umani (specialmente se mi fanno le coccole, i gattini ne hanno sempre tanto bisogno!) Sono allo stallo ormai da un paio di mesi e non vedo l'ora di trovare finalmente una famiglia che mi ami e mi coccoli! Comincio veramente a sentire il peso della solitudine. Sì, è vero che qui ci sono altri gattini e che chi si prende cura di noi lo fa con affetto e tanta dedizione ma una famiglia che ti sceglie e ti adotta è tutta un'altra cosa! Vieni a conoscermi: aspetto solo di sentire la tua voce che mi chiama e le tue mani che mi accarezzano... Quando arriverai io saprò che sei tu quello giusto, e quando mi solleverai per incrociare il mio sguardo dolce e profondo anche tu capirai che siamo fatti per stare insieme! Un gattino ti migliora la vita, è scientificamente provato, i gatti sono i più gettonati per la pet therapy! Vieni a prendermi, sono così affettuoso e bisognoso di coccole! Senti come le chiedo appena vedo qualcuno! Per ora sono in stallo da una volontaria in provincia di Bergamo e verrò dato in adozione sverminato, spulciato e vaccinato. ADOZIONE SOLO IN LOMBARDIA. Naturalmente chi ci accudisce vuol essere sicura che troviamo la migliore sistemazione possibile perciò le proposte verranno prese in considerazione previa compilazione di un questionario conoscitivo ed un colloquio preadozione.
Some Far and Distant Place: Muslim-Christian Encounters
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Addleton, Jonathan S. / Addleton, J. S., PUBLISHER: University of Georgia Press, Born in Pakistan to Baptist missionaries from rural Georgia, Jonathan S. Addleton crossed the borders of race, culture, class, and religion from an early age. "Some Far and Distant Place" combines family history, social observation, current events, and deeply personal commentary to tell an unusual coming-of-age story that has as much to do with the intersection of cultures as it does with one man's life. Whether sharing ice cream with a young Benazir Bhutto or selling gospel tracts at the tomb of a Sufi saint, Addleton provides insightful and sometimes hilarious glimpses into the Muslim-Christian encounter through the eyes of a young child. His narrative is rooted in many unlikely sources, including a southern storytelling tradition, Urdu ghazal, revivalist hymnology, and the "Anglican Book of Common Prayer." The natural beauty of the Himalayas also leaves a strong and lasting mark, providing solidity in a confusing world that on occasion seems about to tilt out of control. This clear-eyed, insightful memoir describes an experience that will become increasingly more common as cultures that once seemed remote and distant are no longer confined within the bounds of a single nation-state.

Four Views on the Book of Revelation
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Pate, C. Marvin / Gundry, Stanley N., PUBLISHER: Zondervan, Of all the books of the Bible, few are as fascinating or as bewildering as Revelation. Its images grip the imagination: four grim horsemen, the Antichrist, the ten-horned beast, the ultimate battle at Armageddon, and, of course, 666, the "mark of the beast," variously interpreted to signify everything from Hitler and Krushchev to credit cards and the Internet.Is the book of Revelation a blueprint for the future that needs decoding if we want to understand current events? Is it a book of powerful imagery, with warnings and promises for the church throughout the ages? Or is it essentially an imaginative depiction of historical events in the first century? Four Views on the Book of Revelation explores the four main views in which Revelation is understood: preterist, idealist, classical dispensationalist futurist, and progressive dispensationalist. The interactive Counterpoints forum allows each author not only to present his view, but also to offer brief commentary on other views presented. This evenhanded approach is ideal for comparing and contrasting stances in order to form a personal conclusion about the interpretation and meaning of Revelation.The Counterpoints series provides a forum for comparison and critique of different views on issues important to Christians. Counterpoints books address two categories: Church Life and Exploring Theology. Complete your library with other books in the Counterpoints series.
A Guide to Government in Afghanistan
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Evans, Anne / Osmani, Yasin / Tully, Anne, PUBLISHER: World Bank Publications, A Guide to Government in Afghanistan has three objectives: i) it seeks to provide newcomers to the administrative and political scene in Afghanistan with a basic guide to the structures and processes of government; ii) it intends to provide reformers with some understanding of how to work "with the grain" of the existing institutional arrangements; and iii) it seeks to pay tribute to the remarkable people who have kept the system running and who are now reforming it. In pursuing these objectives, this guide attempts to set out the underlying strengths of the public sector, describing the evolution of the Afghan state, the current political context, and the administrative and organizational components of the government. It sets out the legal basis and organizational responsibilities for key fiscal tasks including revenue collection, budget preparation and execution, and accounting and audit. It also describes the organizational structures in the provinces, the way in which the staffing establishment is determined, and the structure of pay and grading. In particular, it looks at the arrangements for service delivery in the education and health sectors. The guide draws the bulk of its material from six provincial case studies: Faryab and Herat, undertaken in November ; Badakhshan and Wardak, in April , Kandahar in June , and finally Bamyan in July . The paper has also benefited from additional research undertaken by the Afghanistan Research and Evaluation Unit (AREU) and the World Bank.

Mining the Web: Discovering Knowledge from Hypertext Data
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Chakrabarti, Soumen, PUBLISHER: Morgan Kaufmann Publishers, Mining the Web: Discovering Knowledge from Hypertext Data is the first book devoted entirely to techniques for producing knowledge from the vast body of unstructured Web data. Building on an initial survey of infrastructural issues-including Web crawling and indexing-Chakrabarti examines low-level machine learning techniques as they relate specifically to the challenges of Web mining. He then devotes the final part of the book to applications that unite infrastructure and analysis to bring machine learning to bear on systematically acquired and stored data. Here the focus is on results: the strengths and weaknesses of these applications, along with their potential as foundations for further progress. From Chakrabarti's work-painstaking, critical, and forward-looking-readers will gain the theoretical and practical understanding they need to contribute to the Web mining effort. * A comprehensive, critical exploration of statistics-based attempts to make sense of Web Mining. * Details the special challenges associated with analyzing unstructured and semi-structured data. * Looks at how classical Information Retrieval techniques have been modified for use with Web data. * Focuses on today's dominant learning methods: clustering and classification, hyperlink analysis, and supervised and semi-supervised learning. * Analyzes current applications for resource discovery and social network analysis. * An excellent way to introduce students to especially vital applications of data mining and machine learning technology.

The Democratization Project: Opportunities and Challenges
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Swain, Ashok / Amer, Ramses / Ojendal, Joakim, PUBLISHER: Anthem Press, Democratization is a field where unexpected and sudden events have repeatedly challenged conventional wisdom. For example, who in the mid-s would have foreseen the democratization of Cambodia, Albania, South Africa or East Timor? Our current 'wave' of democratization is complex and diverse and understanding it requires a variety of theoretical approaches. Most of the literature on democracy assumes that it is the best form of government. Theoretical works on democratic transition and democratization have also emphasized the internal conflict resolution capacity of democracy. It has been reasoned that democracy reduces the likelihood of discrimination, especially of ethno-political minorities, and thus the possibility of political repression. However, the democratic peace theory has not been explicitly tested with reference to third world post-colonial states, where most internal violent conflicts take place. Certainly, there is a dearth of practical advice for policy makers on how to design and implement democratic levers that can make internal peace and stability endure in the South. This volume, drawing on the work of a variety of scholars, will contribute to identifying and understanding the challenges and opportunities of this 'democratization project' to the peace and development of the world both at the domestic level in selected countries, trends in regions of the world, and in the global system of the post-Cold War Era.

Gender, Work, and Economy: Unpacking the Global Economy
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Gottfried, Heidi, PUBLISHER: Polity Press, This engaging new text uses a feminist lens to crack open the often hidden worlds of gender and work, addressing enduring questions about how structural inequalities are produced and why they persist. Making visible the social relationships that drive the global economy, the book explores how economic transformations not only change the way we work, but how we live our lives. The full extent of changing patterns of employment and the current financial crisis cannot be fully understood in the confines of narrow conceptions of work and economy. Feminists address this shortcoming by developing both a theory and a political movement aimed at unveiling the power relations inherent in old and new forms of work. By providing an analysis of gender, work, and the economy, Heidi Gottfried brings to light the many faces of power from the bedroom to the boardroom. A discussion of globalization is threaded throughout the book to uncover the impact of increasing global interconnections, and vivid case studies are included, from industrialized countries such as the US and the global cities of New York, London, and Tokyo, as well as from developing countries and the emerging global cities of Beijing, Shanghai, and Dubai. This comprehensive analysis of gender and work in a global economy, incorporating sociology, geography, and political economy perspectives, will be a valued companion to students in gender studies and across the social sciences more generally.
The European Central Bank: Credibility, Transparency, and
ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: de Haan, Jakob, Haan Jakob / Haan, Jakob De / Eijffinger, Sylvester C. W., PUBLISHER: MIT Press (MA), The adoption of the euro in by 11 member states of the European Union created a single currency area second in economic size only to the United States. The euro zone's monetary policy is now set by the European Central Bank (ECB) and its Governing Council rather than by individual national central banks. This CESifo volume examines issues that have arisen in the first years of ECB monetary policy and analyzes the effect that current ECB policy strategy and structures may have in the future. After a detailed description and assessment of ECB monetary policy making that focuses on such issues as price stability and the predictability of policy decisions, the book turns to two important issues faced by European central bankers: the transparency and credibility of decision making and the ECB's decentralized structure. After showing that transparency in decision making enhances credibility, the book discusses the ECB's efforts at openness, its political independence as guaranteed by law, and its ultimate accountability. The book then considers the effects of the decentralized ECB structure, focusing on business cycle synchronization, inflation differentials, and differences in monetary policy transmission in light of the enlargement of the monetary union. The book also discusses options for ECB institutional reforms, including centralization, vote weighting, and cross-border regional banks.
