The Logic and Legitimacy of American Bioethics

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: As a relatively new field in academia and growing presence in American (as well as international) discourse, bioethics must balance the aspiration to guide biomedical research and practice with the need to become an institutionally legitimate influence in society. Since its inception three decades ago, to what extent has bioethics succeeded at making biomedicine more socially accountable? At the same time, to what extent has bioethics been rendered a public-relations tool for academic and corporate biomedical enterprises, which have become increasingly intermingled, high-tech, competitive, resource intensive, and profit-oriented? This book examines bioethicists` efforts to legitimate and stabilize the institutional existence of their field, revealing how their competition and collaboration with other professional groups has staked out an emblematic expertise, which is then tendered to various societal clients. In a case study of an academic bioethics center, higher education and… [detailed...]

The Logic of Globalisation and Global Mindset Development - Insights from the Indian and Chinese Services Industry

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Globalisation is a complex phenomenon. In the international management literature, the logic of globalisation is viewed as a conscious and systematic influence, enabled by national (macro level) reform measures that compel organisations (meso level) to undergo continuous change in policies, procedures, systems and processes. In turn, the organisational reform initiatives challenge managers (micro level) to develop skills and competencies that lead to the cultivation and development of a global mindset, which potentially, allows managers to function effectively and efficiently in the dynamic global business environment. The research study presented in this book develops a macro-meso-micro logic of globalisation framework and using a pluralist methodology, empirically tests the developed framework in the vast, burgeoning and strategically important Indian and Chinese services industry. The findings highlight some converging and diverging patterns in the various reform measures and… [detailed...]

The Logic of Knowledge Bases

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The idea of knowledge bases lies at the heart of symbolic, or `traditional,` artificial intelligence. A knowledge-based system decides how to act by running formal reasoning procedures over a body of explicitly represented knowledge--a knowledge base. The system is not programmed for specific tasks, rather, it is told what it needs to know and expected to infer the rest. This book is about the logic of such knowledge bases. It describes in detail the relationship between symbolic representations of knowledge and abstract states of knowledge, exploring along the way the foundations of knowledge, knowledge bases, knowledge-based systems, and knowledge representation and reasoning. Assuming some familiarity with first-order predicate logic, thebook offers a new mathematical model of knowledge that is general and expressive yet more workable in practice than previous models. The book presents a style of semantic argument and formal analysis that would be cumbersome or… [detailed...]

The Logic of Privatization : The Case of Telecommunications in the Southern Cone of Latin America (Contributions in Economics and Economic History)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Many countries have attempted to employ privatization programs to restructure their economies, however, some of the programs are rejected by the polity in the early stages of consideration. Research on privatization has mainly focused on programs that have been accepted, but it often ignores issues associated with rejection. Dr. Molano breaks new ground by examining the microeconomic, macroeconomic, and political factors that shape all outcomes of privatization. A case study method is employed to review attempts to privatize state-owned telephone companies in countries in the southern cone of Latin America. The study is further generalized to cover 23 attempts to privatize telephone companies from 1985 to 1995. [detailed...]

The Logic of Violence in Civil War (Cambridge Studies in Comparative Politics)

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: By analytically decoupling war and violence, this book explores the causes and dynamics of violence in civil war. Against the prevailing view that such violence is an instance of impenetrable madness, the book demonstrates that there is logic to it and that it has much less to do with collective emotions, ideologies, and cultures than currently believed. Kalyvas specifies a novel theory of selective violence: it is jointly produced by political actors seeking information and individual civilians trying to avoid the worst but also grabbing what opportunities their predicament affords them. Violence, he finds, is never a simple reflection of the optimal strategy of its users, its profoundly interactive character defeats simple maximization logics while producing surprising outcomes, such as relative nonviolence in the `frontlines` of civil war.

The Logic of Writing and the Organization of Society

1988 y.
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
Description: This book assesses the impact of writing on human societies, both in the Ancient Near East and in contemporary Africa, and highlights some general features of social systems that have been influenced by this major change in the mode of communication. Such features are central to any attempt at the theoretical definition of human society and such constituent phenomena as religious and legal systems, and in this study Professor Goody explores the role of a specific mechanism, the introduction of writing and the development of a written tradition, in the explanation of some important social differences and similarities. Goody argues that a shift of emphasis from productive to certain communicative processes is essential to account adequately for major changes in human societies. Whilst there have been previous descussions of the effect of literacy upon social organisation, no study has hitherto presented the general synthesis developed here. [detailed...]

Description: Book Description The Lonely Hunter is widely accepted as the standard biography of Carson McCullers. Author of such landmarks of modern American fiction as Reflections in a Golden Eye and The Ballad of the Sad Cafe, Carson McCullers was the enfant terrible of the literary world of the 1940s and 1950s. Gifted but tormented, vulnerable but exploitative, McCullers led a life that had all the elements--and more--of a tragic novel. From McCullers`s birth in Columbus, Georgia, in 1917 to her death in upstate New York in 1967, The Lonely Hunter thoroughly covers every significant event in, and aspect of, the writer`s life: her rise as a young literary sensation, her emotional, artistic, and sexual eccentricities and entanglements, her debilitating illnesses, her travels in America and Europe, and the provenance of her works from their earliest drafts through their book, stage, and film versions.
