Overview: Study in the field of social sciences.Includes supplementary material: Nathan Lee Kaplan develops a talmudic perspective on management ethics. By analyzing the central ethical dilemmas of corporate managers in light of applicable traditions from the Oral Torah, this book offers a critical bridge between the contemporary business corporation and rabbinic Judaism’s foundational tradition. The issues studied thereby include organizational culture, fraud and corruption, whistle-blowing, investor and employment relations, executive compensation, corporate social responsibility and environ

Overview: I have often wondered if the opposition to women‘s choosing to abort a pregnancy masks a fear of women choosing to have and raise children on their own. When a woman separatesmotherhood from marriage, she claims a freedom in the realm of intimate rela­ tionships that may be as fundamental as Freedom of Conscience or Freedom of Association. Yet, we do not usually think about women‘s decisions concerning motherhood in these terms. In a pair of remarkable studies begun in the 1980s, Ruth Linn-pregnant at the time, and married to a medical officer in the Israeli army-took the study of mo

Overview: Examines language globalization trends and language endangerment.Focuses on the previously understudied presence of Catalan in the Americas.Provides a study case of 90%+ of the world‘s languages, whic.This book presents empirical and anecdotal evidence on the persistence of the variety of Majorcan Catalan that has been spoken since the 1850s in San Pedro, Argentina. Drawing on a series of 60-minute interviews (N=49) conducted with speakers recruited from the community, this study demonstrates how most participants appear to have preserved their heritage language to some extent, accor

Overview: One of the first books to scrutinize the ways in which the fashionable radicalism of popular culture supplants the formulation of genuine alternatives in a neoliberal context.Examines how popular fant.​This book analyzes how contemporary popular films with fantastic themes, including .Candyman., .Frozen., .The Cabin in the Woods., and .The Incredible Burt Wonderstone., cultivate neoliberal subjectivities. These films promise dramatic change, but they too often deliver more of the same. Although proponents maintain the illusion that the militant enforcement of freemarket economics wil

The second edition has been substantially expanded to include new content such as: a new algorithm and test results of 3D stereoscopic visualization; new programming procedures for modelling; the validation of computer simulation u

Overview: Federal programs applicable to the oceans and coastal zone have evolved incrementally in response to perceived needs to expedite emerging mari­ time development while conserving valuable marine resources. As a re­ sult, the current federal marine effort is divided among a plethora of programs administered by a number of agencies within different Depart­ ments. The programs themselves are conducted under the authority of multiple statutes with varying reaches and objectives: as a result they often overlap and conflict. There is no assurance, moreover, that the coverage of federal prog

Overview: Viele Unternehmer versuchen, dem zunehmenden Wettbewerbsdruck mit externen Wachstumsstrategien in Form von Zusammenschlüssen zu begegnen.

Overview: This book grew out of a graduate student paper [261] in which I set down some criticisms of J. R. Lucas‘ attempt to refute mechanism by means of G6del‘s theorem. I had made several such abortive attempts myself and had become familiar with their pitfalls, and especially with the double­ edged nature of incompleteness arguments. My original idea was to model the refutation of mechanism on the almost universally accepted G6delian refutation of Hilbert‘s formalism, but I kept getting stuck on questions of mathematical philosophy which I found myself having to beg. A thorough study of th

Overview: Includes supplementary material: The first, second, and third editions of this book seem to occur at ten year intervals. The intent is to keep the book up-to-date. Many-body theory is a field which continually evolves in time. Journals only publish new results, conferences only invite speakers to report new phenomena, and agencies only fund scientists to do new physics. Today‘s physics is old hat by tomorrow. Students want to learn new material, and textbooks must be modified to keep up with the times. The early chapters in this book teach the techniques of many-body theory. They are
