2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionEconomic history deals with daily life, but also goes beyond that to interpret the important turning points which made daily life possible.

The documents selected for inclusion illustrate vividly problems confronted by entrepreneur and government at every state in these changes. An outline history provided in the general introduction and to every chapter brings coherence to the different themes which emerge throughout the book. [detailed...]

Kathryn Tanner
Economy Of Grace

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: As international economic change accelerates and globalization becomes inevitable, Christians and others have questioned the equity and justice of the emerging global economy. Are there any fair and viable alternatives to global capitalism? University of Chicago theologian Kathryn Tanner offers here a serious and creative proposal for evaluating economic theory and behavior. She finds in the Christian story a strong and unyielding concern with economic matters and specific principles of economics and economic justice that can be brought into conversation with global capitalism today. At the heart of that story is the reality of God`s gift of grace, a noncompetitive relationship that models a very different type of economy. Further, Tanner discusses specific alternatives to the present economic system and principles that can apply across comparative economies. Finally, she offers concrete proposals for a theological economy and ways to make it work to modify and perhaps replace the… [detailed...]

Takesh Amemiya
Economy and Economics of Ancient Greece: Economy of Ancient Greece (Routledge Explorations in Economic History)

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Addressing the dearth of literature that has been written on this key aspect of economic history, Takeshi Amemiya, a well known leading economist based at Stanford University, analyzes the two diametrically opposed views about the exact nature of the ancient Greek economy, putting together a broad and comprehensive survey that is unprecedented in this field. Partly a piece of economic history, partly a critique of utilitarianism, this book explores all areas of the Athenian economy, including public finance, banking and manufacturing and trade as well as discussing the historical, cultural, political and sociological conditions of Ancient Greece and the background in which the economy developed. As a teacher of an undergraduate course on the Economy and Economics of Ancient Greece, Takeshi Amemiya has written an incisive text that is perfect for undergraduate students of economic history, Greek history and culture as well as a being a useful reference point… [detailed...]

Economy and Nature in the Fourteenth Century: Money, Market Exchange, and the Emergence of Scientific Thought (Cambridge Studies in Medieval Life and Thought, 35)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Intellectual developments pioneered by scholastic natural philosophers of the fourteenth century constituted a critical stage in the emergence of scientific thought. Beneath these technical developments lay a profound reconceptualization of nature. The purpose of this book is to analyze the components of this reconceptualization, and to speculate on the influences that shaped it. It argues that the transformation of the conceptual model of the natural world c. 1260-1380 was strongly influenced by the rapid monetization of European society during the same period.

Ever since then however, it hase and will consistently lagged behind and only really started to grow strongly in the mid 1990s and even then it failed to achieve the growth rates of the rest of Southeast Asia ten years earlier. This book critically analyses the Filipino economy and attempts to explain the problems that it has faced, as well as the solutions that need to be put into practice. This accessible and comprehensive book will be of great use to students, academics and business professionals with an interest in the economies of Asia. [detailed...]

Economy, Culture, and Civil War in Sri Lanka

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Economy, Culture, and Civil War in Sri Lanka provides a lucid and up-to-date interpretation of Sri Lankan society and its 20-year civil conflict. An interdisciplinary examination of the relationship between the economy, broadly defined, and the reproduction of violent conflict, this volume argues that the war is grounded not just in the goals and intentions of the opposing sides, but also in the everyday orientations, experiences, and material practices of all Sri Lankan people. The contributors explore changing political and policy contexts, the effect of long-term conflict on employment opportunities and life choices for rural and urban youth, life histories, memory, and narratives of violence, the `economics of enlisting` and individual decisions about involvement in the war, and nationalism and the moral debate triggered by women`s employment in the international garment manufacturing industry. Contributors are Francesca Bremner, Michele Ruth Gamburd, Newton Gunasinghe, Siri… [detailed...]

Gene Epstein
Econospinning: How to Read Between the Lines When the Media Manipulate the Numbers

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Gene Epstein knows a thing or two about economic data. Before becoming the Economics Editor for Barron`s in 1993, he was a senior economist at the New York Stock Exchange. Now in Econospinning , Epstein supplies readers with a book that attempts to cut through the veil of economic misinformation commonly reported in today`s media. Assuming no prior knowledge on the readers part, each chapter of Econospinning is structured around fairly simple propositions about the economy or about specific economic data—from tracking employment numbers to measuring corporate profitability—that are then contrasted with the distortions of today`s media coverage. Along the way, Epstein exposes bad reporting by the elite media, including The Wall Street Journal , The Financial Times, The New York Review of Books , The New Yorker, The Economist —and especially by The New York Times and its economics columnist Paul Krugman, … [detailed...]

Ecoregion-Based Design for Sustainability

Publisher: —
Description: This richly illustrated volume completes Robert G. Bailey`s celebrated study of ecoregions, begun in the landmark Ecosystem Geography (1996) and further articulated in Ecoregions (1998). In this third installment, the author expands his system for defining large-scale ecological zones to encompass principles of land management, regional planning, and design. In an engaging, nontechnical discussion, he shows how larger patterns and processes that characterize a region--its climate, topography, soils, vegetation, fauna, and human culture--provide essential keys to the sustainability of ecosystems. Ecoregion-Based Design for Sustainability will be welcomed by land and resource managers, landscape architects and urban planners, ecologists, students, and anyone interested in ecology-based design. `Bob Bailey [is] the man behind the ecosystem mapping of the world.` -Lingua Franca Reviews of Ecoregions: `The book provides easy access to the geographic distribution, characteristics, and… [detailed...]

Ecosystem Responses to Mercury Contamination: Indicators of Change

2007 y.
Publisher: CRC Press
Description: As rising levels of mercury in the environment pose an increasing threat of toxicity to humans and wildlife, several laws already call for industries to reduce mercury emissions at the source. Ecosystem Responses to Mercury Contamination: Indicators of Change outlines the infrastructure and methods needed to measure, monitor, and regulate the concentration of mercury present in the environment. This book draws on the knowledge of forty international experts in the fields of atmospheric transport and deposition, mercury cycling in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and mercury bioaccumulation in aquatic foodwebs and wildlife. The authors propose a set of indicators to use as a measure of changing mercury concentrations in the environment. Next, they recommend a monitoring strategy and offer guidance for determining systematic changes in concentration. Then the authors examine additional monitoring strategies to relate observed changes in concentration to regulatory… [detailed...]

Ecosystems And Sustainable Development (Advances in Ecological Sciences)

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Beyond the specific dimension of the individual, learning is a primary characteristic of life. Shifting our attention to local systems we can consider ecosystems and traditional communities as learning `minds`, according with Bateson`s thought. We call environmental wisdom the explicit knowledge that emerges from long periods of co-evolution of people and nature in local systems, cast in the same lot. Environmental wisdom rises both from trial-and-error and from more subtle kinds of knowledge, involving aesthetic and intuition. It sediments as tradition or religion and deeply contribute to landscapes creation, keeping ecosystems and humans alive together. It is our belief, that in order to survive, local communities should re-connect themselves with their biological basis. As a first option we need to pay new attention to our boundaries: not to avoid contacts, exchanges, cross-fertilization with other people and other lands, but to reduce the impact of globalization and to retain… [detailed...]

Ecotopia: The Second Icp Triennial of Photography And Video

Description: When the International Center of Photography launched Strangers, its first Triennial, in 2003, its curators wrote that their goal was `to demonstrate photography`s incomparable richness as a visual medium--in the form of still photographs, video, sculptural objects, and installation pieces. The result is a dynamic coherence that results as much from a dialogue between individual works as from curatorial intention.` This second time out, in a period of rampant natural disasters and concerns about global environmental change, they have shifted their attention from strangers, from our relationships with one another, to home, to our relationships with the earth. Ecotopia, brings readers the natural world through the eyes and lenses of some of the most interesting and engaging photographers working today. These 30 international artists shatter stereotypes of landscape and nature imagery to examine new concepts of the natural sphere occasioned by twenty-first-century… [detailed...]
