The Earth Will Shake: The History of the Early Illuminati (The Historical Illuminatus Chronicles)

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: They have been with us all through history: The `Invisible College` of wisdom, and their adversaries---the destroyers---who rise from the flames to burn again. The history of the world is their story: a conspiracy as vast and all-encompassing as the riddle of time itself. In Naples, Italy, in 1764, a young aristocrat is about to stumble onto one piece of the great pattern. Through a heartless murder and his passion for the beautiful daughter of his enemy, young Sigismundo Celine uncovers the mystery of the Rossi brigade, former M.A.F.I.A. assassins, and the secret agenda of the dreaded Inquisition. In the wind of the raging social storm that will soon tear through Europe and America with the flame of revolution, Sigismundo begins his journey of discovery, joined by the boy Mozart, Dr. Frankenstein, Casanova the spy, lover and magician…and a mysterious violet-eyed assassin who calls him `brother.` [detailed...]

The Earth as a Distant Planet: A Rosetta Stone for the Search of Earth-Like Worlds (Astronomy and Astrophysics Library)

2010 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In The Earth as a Distant Planet, the authors become external observers of our solar system from a distance and try to determine how one can understand how Earth, the third in distance to the central star, is essentially unique and capable of sustaining life. The knowledge gained from this original perspective is then applied to the search for other planets outside the solar system, or exoplanets. Since the discovery in 1992 of the first exoplanet, the number of planet detections has increased exponentially and ambitious missions are already being planned for the future. The exploration of Earth and the rest of the rocky planets are Rosetta stones in classifying and understanding the multiplicity of planetary systems that exist in our galaxy. In time, statistics on the formation and evolution of exoplanets will be available and will provide vital information for solving some of the unanswered questions about the formation, as well as evolution of our own world and solar system. … [detailed...]

The Earthscan Reader in Rural-Urban Linkages (Earthscan Readers Series)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: With accelerating urbanization and growing interdependence of rural and urban dwellers on the markets and resources they each offer, rural-urban linkages have become a very important focus in recent years for research and policy relating to local and national economic development, poverty relief, and governance. The emergence of new livelihoods based on diversified income sources and mobility reflects profound social, cultural, and economic transformations, and new forms of resource allocation and use. This volume collects the key contributions in the field, covering the conceptual background, the key issues, and the current debates, locating different approaches in their wider intellectual and historical contexts. It also includes important recent empirical work from all the relevant geographical regions that will be the basis for future thinking.

The Earthscan Reader on Adaptation to Climate Change (Earthscan Readers Series)

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Climate change is now upon us. While mitigation is essential to reduce the future severity of climate change, it will take time and some effects will inevitably continue for centuries. Consequently, more attention is now also being directed to adaptation as a means of reducing losses. As the importance of adaptation becomes more apparent, there is need for wider appreciation and understanding of the concept and its potential as well as the obstacles to its effective deployment.This reader, the first of its kind, pulls together and makes sense of the most significant writings on adaptation to climate change from the past two decades. An introduction maps out the field and traces the evolution of adaptation from a biological concept into a policy objective. The literature is divided into five sections. Part I: Adaptation Science includes papers that have been seminal in evolving the conceptual thinking about adaptation and tackles the complexities of adaptation typology and other… [detailed...]

Description: In an era of globalization, international trade is a fact of life. The increasing conflicts surrounding negotiations on trade liberalization -- from the WTO debacle at Seattle in 1999 to the explosive events surrounding the meeting of the GB in Genoa in 2001 -- illustrate the breadth and depth of concern among governments, academics, activists and civil society. The disputes focus on the potential impacts of an unfettered global market place on jobs, social cohesion and the environment. A growing, but disparate, literature has emerged to debate these questions, and `The Earthscan Reader on International Trade and Sustainable Development` provides an excellent sourcebook that consolidates the lessons learned thus far to guide academics, practitioners,activists and the concerned public in the next decade of work on these issues.

The Earthscan Reader on Ngo Management

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) vary in their origins and roles, but all share a similar set of questions for management and organizational development. NGOs face constant and complex challenges - unpredictable funding, the complexity of social change, and no single bottom-line for success - and what little guidance is available is often difficult to find. The Earthscan Reader on NGO Management addresses this problem by drawing together a range of key texts covering ten critical areas of management for nonprofit organizations involved in international development. It is the only comprehensive publication of its kind in the field and describes how NGOs can and must develop their management capabilities in order to be successful in benefiting those whom they were set up to help. The book is unique in its balance of conceptual and practically oriented writings. Accompanied by an extensive Introduction, this collection by an array of respected authors will be an invaluable… [detailed...]

The East Asian Miracle: Economic Growth and Public Policy (World Bank Policy Research Reports)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The extraordinary growth enjoyed over the last several decades by many East Asian countries has amounted to nothing less than an economic miracle. Employing unorthodox policies, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand have all produced dramatic results with far-reaching improvements in human welfare and income distribution, leading many to ask whether a similar achievement can be duplicated elsewhere. Written for the nonspecialist, this World BankPolicy Research Report--the first in an important new series--discusses in detail the means by which these high-performing Asian economies (HPAEs) realized their staggering success between 1965 and 1990. Examining how these countries stabilized their economies with sound development programs that led to fast growth, the book also shows how they shared the new prosperity by making income distribution more equitable. The book makes clear how the HPAEs promoted rapid capital… [detailed...]

Description: The East in the West reassesses Western views of Asia, which much European history and social theory has seen as `static` or `backward.` Jack Goody challenges these Eurocentric assumptions, including the notion of a special Western rationality, and differences in mercantile activity. Other factors `inhibiting` the East`s development, such as the role of the family, have also been greatly exaggerated, and have contributed to a misunderstanding of both Eastern and Western history and society. This wide-ranging and provocative book begins to redress the balance. [detailed...]

The Eastern and Central European Kitchen: Contemporary and Classic Recipes

2007 y.
Publisher: Interlink Books
Description: The fresh ingredients and unfamiliar flavor combinations of Central and Eastern Europe are capturing the imaginations of gourmet stores and restaurants in the West, as borders open up and Europe is extended. We`re enjoying dishes such as goulash, stroganoff, pierogi and borscht as we feast on a wealth of culinary traditions that stretches back for generations. Silvena Rowe turns to countries such as Hungary, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria, Poland, Georgia, Russia, and the Ukraine for her inspiration. She cooks game with sweet-and-sour stuffing, sauces and marinades, smoked fish, wild mushrooms, fruits such as quince, figs and pomegranates, and seeds and grains such as lentils, pearl barley and poppy seeds. She plunders the traditions of the poor and wealthy alike in her quest to bring us a taste of what is put upon the tables in these countries. The food is untamed and the flavors are strong.
