Peasants and Imperial Rule: Agriculture and Agrarian Society

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Charlesworth, Neil, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This book is a detailed historical study of agriculture and agrarian society in a major province of British India, the Bombay presidency. Its objective is to examine the impact of British rule on the Indian peasantry, and the changes it brought. Among the specific issues discussed by the author are the development of the British land revenue system, the pattern of expansion in commercial agriculture and the consequences in terms of ownership and organisation of land and agrarian social structure. Dr Charlesworth goes on to look at the role of government policy, the nature of peasant protest movements and the effects of the interwar depression. He concludes that significant long-term economic and social change did occur but that the highly 'differential' pattern to commercialisation prevented any structural transformation in the peasant economy and society.

But to Gus Sonalag, the nearly impoverished Town advocate for seniors and people with disabilities, and to hundreds of Eastcogue's struggling old settlers who face homelessness from the area's soaring land values, dandelions are beautiful wild vegetables that staved off starvation during the Great Depression and embody their determination to thrive in the face of society's disregard for them. The battle begins when King and the federal government order the eradication of the dandelions in BayCogue Village, the town's only affordable seniors' housing project. Gus and his devious ingenious blackmail schemes to extract the millions needed from a temperamental movie star and a notorious billionaire.

The Changing Role of Social Care

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hudson, Bob, PUBLISHER: Jessica Kingsley Publishers, Focusing on the enormous organizational and cultural changes that local authority social services have undergone since the NHS and Community Care Act, this volume provides an overview of the structure and function of social care at practice, management and policy levels. It contains contributions from leading academics, researchers and practitioners in the UK, and also includes chapters on the experiences of the rest of Europe and the US. The contributors examine the impact and effectiveness of key shifts in the weighting of responsibility of central and local government; who the purchasers and providers of social care are; the interaction between social services and other agencies; the relationship between voluntary and statutory sectors; and the involvement of users and carers in service design and provision. They assess the significance of the breakdown of the traditional distinctions and roles underlying social care, and lay the foundations for effective and coordinated future policy, practice and research. With the publication of the Labor Government's White Paper Modernizing Social Services, the future of social care is set for yet more upheaval. This volume will provide an indispensable overview of the evolution and destiny of local authority social services for students, practitioners and managers.

The Balance of Power: History and Theory

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Sheehan, Michael / Sheehan, M., PUBLISHER: Routledge, The balance of power is one of the most fundamental concepts behind international politics and provides a structure for explaining some of the essential principles behind international relations. Yet despite its widespread importance it remains an enigma and is surrounded by controversy. "The Balance of Power" traces the evolution of the theory from the eighteenth century to the present day. It incorporates classical anlysis and recent research to give a detailed account of the concept in practice and the operation of the international system while challenging traditional views of the balance of power. Its exploration of the way the balance of power operated in key historical periods shows how the generally accepted development of the concept is based on a misunderstanding of the historical reality.

Resilience Across Contexts: Family, Work, Culture, and

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Taylor / Taylor, Ronald D. / Wang, Margaret C., PUBLISHER: Psychology Press, A number of societal risks pose serious challenges to families' well-being, many of which cut across divisions of class and race. These challenges include: changes in the labor market and economy; the increasing participation of mothers in the labor force; the changing nature of family structure and the composition of households; and the increase in the number of immigrant families. Key institutions in the lives of families, including places of employment and schools, can play a significant role in fostering families' capacity to adapt to the potential challenges they face. "Resilience Across Contexts: Family, Work, Culture, and Community" presents papers--written by leading scholars in varied disciplines including economics, developmental and educational psychology, education, and sociology--discussing factors that influence resilience development. The authors' research focuses on emerging issues that have significant implications for policy and practice in such areas as employment and new technologies; maternal employment and family development; family structure and family life; immigration, migration, acculturation, and education of children and youth; and social and human services delivery. The book's overall goal is to take stock of what is known from research and practice on some of the challenges facing children and families for policy development and improvement of practices.

World System Structure: Continuity and Change

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hollist, W. Ladd, PUBLISHER: Sage Publications (CA), The essays in this volume highlight the different views taken of the world economic system. The first two essays are firmly grounded in the world system of Immanuel Wallerstein. Other essays offer alternative concepts and discuss them in the light of contemporary events -- newly industrializing nations and Third World coalitions. In the final section, Hollist and Rosenau reach conflicting conclusions as to where the world system, and the study of it, are proceding. '...the collection captures a wide range of alternative approaches that international relations and world-system scholars might profitably be jointly aware of. This heightened awareness surely will stimulate even greater dialogue, the goal of the editors.' -- Contemporary Sociology, Vol 12 No 6, November

Convex Analysis and Global Optimization

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Hoang, Tuy / Hoang Tuy, Tuy / Hoang Tuy, PUBLISHER: Springer, Due to the general complementary convex structure underlying most nonconvex optimization problems encountered in applications, convex analysis plays an essential role in the development of global optimization methods. This book develops a coherent and rigorous theory of deterministic global optimization from this point of view. Part I constitutes an introduction to convex analysis, with an emphasis on concepts, properties and results particularly needed for global optimization, including those pertaining to the complementary convex structure. Part II presents the foundation and application of global search principles such as partitioning and cutting, outer and inner approximation, and decomposition to general global optimization problems and to problems with a low-rank nonconvex structure as well as quadratic problems. Much new material is offered, aside from a rigorous mathematical development. Audience: The book is written as a text for graduate students in engineering, mathematics, operations research, computer science and other disciplines dealing with optimization theory. It is also addressed to all scientists in various fields who are interested in mathematical optimization.
