Nicolas van de Walle
Overcoming Stagnation in Aid-Dependent Countries: Politics, Policies and Incentives for Poor Countries

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn this book, Nicolas Van de Walle identifies 26 countries that are extremely poor and grew little if at all in the 1990s. His sample excludes North Korea and countries where civil war explains some of their failure to grow (Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Sudan, Tajikistan and others). The 26 countries have limited infrastructure and human capital and the small size of their markets deter private savings and investment. Aid was meant to help overcome these problems, and these countries received a lot. Yet they have failed to grow. What is wrong? Is foreign aid a solution or part of the problem? What changes might make aid more effective? Given these countries require the financial and technical resources of the West, why haven?t aid programs made a difference? Van de Walle blames their economic failure mostly on the venality and incompetence of their political leadership. He analyzes the contradictions and tensions faced by the aid community in poorly run… [detailed...]

2009 y.

Overkill

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn 2000, a New York art collective invited friends and colleagues to create a group show of original art work based on a randomly chosen them--for fun! It was a response to what they saw as the malaise of their generation. The reaction tothis seemingly simple concept and its fresh sincerity was overwhelming. Several shows later, and with additional bases in Berlin and Tokyo, this collective of diverse talents (it takes its name from Le Phalanstere, Fournier`s utopian vision of working life)has produced its first publication, Overkill . Its subject is the theme of the 2002 show in Berlin, but the book is far more than a catalogue. Instead it conveys Le Phalanstere`s quirky approach and philosophy through a cornucopia of ideas, aesthetics, perspectives and misunderstandings. At first glance the book may seem chaotic and uncontrollable, but delve deeper and a dialogue emerges between the artists. It is the juxtaposition and convergence of their ideas that gives … [detailed...]

Description: This book will attempt to expose, delineate and document the sometimes overlooked and often ignored causes of three major life-threatening chronic diseases- CANCER, CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE AND MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS - as well as providing a therapeutic basis for their prevention. Like the recent U. S. monetary meltdown, the cost of treating these diseases borders on bankrupting Medicare, Medicaid and private insurance companies. Effective lower cost alternative and complementary therapies will be discussed. CANCER- has become an epidemic in the United States. One person in the U.S. dies of this dread disease every minute, over 1,400 per day, and over 50,000 a year. Last year, there were over 1,500,000 newly diagnosed cases of cancer in the U.S. The approved, conventional treatments of cancer- surgery, radiation and chemotherapy- offer no real assurance of cure. Many billions are spent on cancer treatment - again, without success or the promise of cure. Proportionately, little… [detailed...]

Overlooked in America: The Success and Failure of Federal Land Management

Publisher: —
Description: In dramatic color photographs by renowned environmental photographer Robert Glenn Ketchum and in insightful text by Charles Callison, Overlooked in America warns of the careless devastation of America`s federally-held lands. Using the Cuyahoga Valley National Recreation Area as a metaphor for the complicated management problems surrounding federal lands, Ketchum reveals the imperiled beauty of these areas. A full one-third of all U.S. land-- including parks, beaches, forests, off-shore oil-deposits, and mountains-- is owned and managed by the federal government, whose stewardship is intended to renew and maintain this vast national treasure. Due to clashing intra-agency goals and the ever-changing policies of rotating administrations, the federal government has long been negligent in enforcing the mandate of sustainable development of these lands. Caught in the middle of a bureaucratic snarl, our national trust is at risk of substantial environmental deterioration such… [detailed...]

We have some of the most skilled physicians in the world, yet one hundred thousand patients die each year from medical errors. In this gripping, eye-opening book, award-winning journalist Shannon Brownlee takes readers inside the hospital to dismantle some of our most venerated myths about American medicine.

Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read. Written in Old English. [detailed...]
