Overview: Analyzes the connection between James Mill‘s colonial-racist discourse and current school-textbook discourse..Proposes that current textbook discourse on Hinduism and India needs to change to protect .Euro-American misrepresentations of the non-West in general, and in particular on Hinduism and ancient India, run deep and have far greater colonial connections than that have been exposed in academia. This book analyzes the psycho-social consequences that Indian American children face after they are exposed to the school textbook discourse on Hinduism and ancient India. The authors sho

Overview: Since 1957, more than 45 African countries have received aid from China, yet until recently little has been known about the effectiveness or impact of this assistance. Bräutigam provides the first authoritative account of China‘s experience as an aid donor in rural Africa. In a detailed and highly readable analysis, the author draws on anthropology, economics, organization theory and political science to explain how China‘s domestic agenda shaped the design of its aid, and how domestic politics in African countries influenced its outcome.978-0-230-37430-0Series ISSN 2662-2483 Series

Overview: This book introduces embodied innovations into the circle of already recognised causes of economic crises. The author shows how issues of investment, accumulation and structural change associated with embodied innovations can be used to monitor potential crisis. The author argues that crises are predictable and manageable in depth.978-1-349-50207-3978-1-137-47707-1

Overview: In October 1978, a group of 41 scientists from 14 countries met in Erice, Sicily to attend the Second Course of the Interna­ tional School of Radiation Damage and Protection "Ettore Majorana", the proceedings of which are contained in this book.

The School was officially sponsored by the Italian Health Physics Association, the Italian Ministry of Public Educat

Overview: .Consumer credit has become a topical issue for researchers, regulators and the banking industry in Europe as a result of increasing market integration, regulatory changes and a growing tendency of households to use debt to finance consumption. This study uses a cross-country approach to look at a broad range of issues related to consumer credit in Europe. Focusing on both the supply and demand sides, it takes into account the structure and performance of financial intermediaries, the socio-demographic and economic profile of households and their risk of over-indebtedness, as well as

Overview: Unique overview of principles associated with the characterization of solids with regard to their surface area, pore size and densityThe growth of interest in newly developed porous materials has prompted the writing of this book for those who have the need to make meaningful measurements without the benefit of years of experience. One might consider this new book as the 4th edition of "Powder Surface Area and Porosity" (Lowell & Shields), but for this new edition we set out to incorporate recent developments in the understanding of fluids in many types of porous materials, not just

Overview: Examines the increasing importance of the service industry in China.Explores how China is seeking to make sustainable economic models driven by domestic consumption.Brings together a broad range of re.This book explores the move from manufacturing towards service industry jobs in China‘s economic development during the 12th Five-Year Plan period. The service industry now makes up the highest proportion of the GDP and employs the largest number of people in China. In the next Five-Year Plan period, it is necessary to actively push forward the strategic transformation by placing emphas

Overview: This volume records the proceedings at the Fifth School of Thoracic Medicine held at the Ettore Majorana School of International Scientific Culture in March 1981. Foregathered there were a heterogeneous group comprising clinicians, pathologists, ultra-microscopists, biochemists, immunologists, cellular biologists and physiologists and they presented the twenty seven papers seen in the contents list. The discussion which followed each paper was faithfully recorded (and where necessary translated) and may be found after each author‘s presentation. This free discussion is perhaps the mo

Overview: Highlights the formation of new types of complex social relations, their current state, and development dynamics.Considers social systems as self-organizing structures that reproduce new structures en.This edited book considers social systems as self-organizing structures that reproduce new structural elements endowed with certain functional connections. The authors analyze innovative processes in social systems, leading to the sustainable convergence of knowledge and the emergence of technologies that improve the level of material well-being in society. The book summarizes research

Overview: To date there has not been a book published that covers both the basic science and translational/clinical research in the field of cytokines in malignanciesDramatic advances have occurred over the last few years in the research field of cancer biology. There has been a constant accumulation of important new information, resulting in a gradual transformation on the perceptions that exist among scientists regarding mechanisms by which the malignant phenotype develops. The recent developments in cancer research have also had a substantial impact in efforts towards the development of new

Overview: Written by an expert in this field.Written in a self-contained and tutorial style.Examines the topic from various perspectivesThe book introduces readers to and summarizes the current ideas and theories about the basic mechanisms for transport in chaotic flows. Typically no single paradigmatic approach exists as this topic is relevant for fields as diverse as plasma physics, geophysical flows and various branches of engineering. Accordingly, the dispersion of matter in chaotic or turbulent flows is analyzed from different perspectives. Partly based on lecture courses given by the aut
