Overview: Even after half a century of work and much criticism, the driving importance of foreign aid shows no sign of abating. Widespread and acute poverty still ravages many countries of the world, and the understanding of how aid affects the economies of the recipient countries is still far from perfect.

Overview: Labour markets are differentiated by occupation and types oftraining, and these submarkets are seldom in equilibrium. Thisdisequilibrium --shortages and surpluses in labour markets -- isoften attributed to a lack of flexibility in wage structures, thelimited possibility for substitution between submarkets, and the highadjustment costs. In addition, market changes are difficult toforesee, thus making it equally difficult to respond appropriately..This book contains the results of research from three major Europeaninstitutes -- the Research Centre for Education and the Labor Market(ROA

Overview: Presents a unique methodology for the assessment of social, economic, and environmental flood damage.Aims at reducing the adverse consequences for human health, the environment, cultural heritage, and.This book presents state-of-the-art, essential methods and tools for flood risk assessment and management. The costs of damage caused by extreme weather events, among which floods are a major category, are rapidly rising, both globally and across Europe. The scope and scale of flood episodes point to the need for comprehensive proposals, including the implementation of flood protection

Overview: Self-contained and well illustrated.Complete and comprehensive derivation of mechanical/mathematical results with enphasis on issues of practical importance.Combines classical subjects of fracture mec.Concerned with the fundamental concepts and methods of fracture mechanics and micromechanics, Fracture Mechanics primarily focuses on the mechanical description of fracture processes; however, material specific aspects are also discussed.. .The presentation of continuum mechanical and phenomenological foundations is followed by an introduction into classical failure hypotheses. A major

Overview: Performing fieldwork in healthcare settings is significantly different from fieldwork in other domains and it presents unique challenges to researchers. Whilst results are reported in research papers, the details of how to actually perform these fieldwork studies are not. This is the first of two volumes designed as a collective graduate guidebook for conducting fieldwork in healthcare. This volume brings together the experiences of established researchers who do fieldwork in clinical and non-clinical settings, focusing on how people interact with healthcare technology, in the form o

Overview: This book is an extensively revised version of my textbook "¥esodot HaAlgebra HaLiniarit" (The Foundations of Linear Algebra) used at many universities in Israel. It is designed for a comprehensive one-year course in linear algebra (112 lecture hours) for mathematics majors. Therefore, I assume that the student already has a certain amount of mathematical background - including set theory, mathematical induction, basic analytic geometry, and elementary calculus - as wellas a modicum of mathematical sophistication. My intention is to provide not only a solid basis in the abstract theo
