The Risks We Run : Mining, Communities and Political Risk Insurance

2005 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis critique of political risk insurance (PRI), the type of insurance used by large-scale mining projects, includes six case studies that show how PRI has severe negative social and environmental impacts on mining communities. Included are descriptions of such landmark cases as the Omai gold mine in Guyana, which was insured through PRI by the World Bank and the Canadian government and whose waste facilities completely collapsed, causing the country`s worst environmental disaster in recorded history. Conclusions are drawn about the failure of insuring agencies such as the World Bank to anticipate the consequences of major mining projects and consider the effects of large-scale mining on sustainable development.

The Risks of Prescription Drugs (A Columbia / SSRC Book (Privatization of Risk))

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Calling on a diverse range of experts, this book tackles critical questions about the pharmaceutical industry and the privatization of risk. To what extent does the FDA protect the public from serious side effects and possible disasters? What is the impact of giving greater roles to the private sector and markets and reducing public oversight? This volume considers whether current rules and incentives put patients at greater risk, the effect of the expansion of disease categories, the industry`s justification of high U. S. prices and the financial risk they must bear, and the underlying shifts in the burdens of risks borne by individuals in the world of pharmaceuticals. [detailed...]

The Risks of Terrorism (Studies in Risk and Uncertainty, 15)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The September 11, 2001 terrorism attack on the United States has led government officials to rethink anti-terrorism policies and researchers to assess the implications for the study of risk and uncertainty. This book draws on the expertise of eminent researchers in several risk-related fields to assess three substantive areas of concern - risk beliefs, insurance market effects, and policy responses. The risk belief analyses consider several key questions. How do people think about the risks of terrorism? What are their attitudes toward these risks? To what extent are these low probability and highly dramatic risks overestimated? Several chapters present original survey results analyzing these different aspects of terrorism risk assessments. These studies also begin to explore how people might be willing to sacrifice civil liberties to reduce the risk of terrorism and whether perceived terrorism risks are affected by the severity of the outcome and by proximity to past terrorist… [detailed...]

Matt Baglio
The Rite: The Making of a Modern Exorcist

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In The Rite, journalist Matt Baglio uses the astonishing story of one American priest`s training as an exorcist to reveal that the phenomena of possession, demons, the Devil, and exorcism are not merely a remnant of the archaic past, but remain a fearsome power in many people`s lives even today.Father Gary Thomas was working as a parish priest in California when he was asked by his bishop to travel to Rome for training in the rite of exorcism. Though initially surprised, and slightly reluctant, he accepted this call, and enrolled in a new exorcism course at a Vatican-affiliated university, which taught him, among other things, how to distinguish between a genuine possession and mental illness. Eventually he would go on to participate in more than eighty exorcisms as an apprentice to a veteran Italian exorcist. His experiences profoundly changed the way he viewed the spiritual world, and as he moved from rational skeptic to practicing exorcist he came to understand the battle between… [detailed...]

Beth Eddy
The Rites of Identity : The Religious Naturalism and Cultural Criticism of Kenneth Burke and Ralph Ellison

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book Description The Rites of Identity argues that Kenneth Burke was the most deciding influence on Ralph Ellison`s writings, that Burke and Ellison are firmly situated within the American tradition of religious naturalism, and that this tradition--properly understood as religious--offers a highly useful means for considering contemporary identity and mitigating religious conflict. Beth Eddy adds Burke and Ellison to a tradition of religious naturalism that traces back to Ralph Waldo Emerson but received its most nuanced expression in the work of George Santayana. Through close readings of the essays and fiction of Burke and Ellison, Eddy shows the extent to which their cultural criticisms are intertwined. Both offer a naturalized understanding of piety, explore the psychological and social dynamics of scapegoating, and propose comic religious resources. And both explicitly connect these religious categories to identity, be it religious, racial, national, ethnic, or… [detailed...]

Richard Brinsley Sheridan
The Rivals

1998 y.
Publisher: Dover Publications
Description: During a brief but brilliant literary career, Irish-born dramatist and statesman Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751-1816) wrote cleverly plotted plays that revealed his nimble wit and keen eye for comic situations. Two of them - `The School for Scandal` and `The Rivals` - are among the funniest in the English language. `The Rivals`, brimming with false identities and with romantic entanglements carried on amid a cloud of parental disapproval, satirizes the pretentiousness and sentimentality of the age. It features a cast of memorable characters, among them the lovely Lydia Languish, whose pretty head has been filled with nonsense from romantic novels, Capt. Jack Absolute, a young officer in love with Lydia, Sir Anthony Absolute, Jack`s autocratic father, Sir Lucius O`Trigger, a fiery Irishman, and Jack`s provincial neighbor, Bob Acres, a bumptious but lovable country squire also in love with Lydia. Hoping to win Lydia`s affection, Captain Jack woos the pretty miss by… [detailed...]

David Eddings, Leigh Eddings
The Rivan Codex: Ancient Texts of THE BELGARIAD and THE MALLOREON

1999 y.
Publisher: Del Rey
Description: Though full of treasures, this farewell to the world of the authors` bestselling Belgariad and Mallorean sagas is rather a mixed bag. The book contains an autobiographical foreword, explaining the roots of the double saga in David Eddings`s reading of medieval epics, the editorial influence of the late Lester del Rey, the longstanding but only recently acknowledged role of the author`s wife as `unindicted collaborator` and the perils of writing high fantasy in general. The volume then presents a variety of well-crafted pseudobiblia, such as Belgarath`s autobiography and many of the Holy Books. It goes on to the historical, economic and ethnographic background of the major nations of the sagas. There are many other pieces that reflect well on the Eddingses` world-building skillsAas if the novels themselves had not already demonstrated their craft. This book may be unintelligible to those who are not Eddings fans, but it will be irresistible to those who are. It is also of some… [detailed...]

Along the way, he dealt with the severe tropical heat and humidity, diseases like yellow fever and beri-beri, and assorted vicious and deadly creatures packed so densely that they just about trip over each other--giant anacondas, jaguars, leaping spiders, fire ants, snakes of every description, and poisonous centipedes. Then, also, there were the Mayorunas, cannibals and headhunters who occasionally poison the streams because of `real or imaginary enemies.` Friel found the white Indians, but they were not what he expected. He made it home and became one of the most popular writers for Adventure magazine during the 1920s and 1930s. [detailed...]

The Riverine Ecosystem Synthesis: Toward Conceptual Cohesiveness in River Science (Aquatic Ecology) (Aquatic Ecology)

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book presents the most comprehensive model yet for describing the structure and functioning of running freshwater ecosystems. This `riverine ecosystem synthesis` (RES) is a result of combining several theories published in recent decades, dealing with aquatic and terrestrial systems. New analyses are fused with a variety of new perspectives on how river network ecosystems are structured and function, and how they change along longitudinal, lateral, and temporal dimensions. Among these novel perspectives is a dramatically new view of the role of hydrogeomorphic forces in forming functional process zones from headwaters to the mouths of great rivers.Designed as a useful tool for aquatic scientists worldwide whether they work on small streams or great rivers and in forested or semi-arid regions, this book will provide a means for scientists to understand the fundamental and applied aspects of rivers in general and includes a practical guide and protocols for analyzing individual… [detailed...]
