Overview: Declining incomes and growing income inequality have led to a rise in poverty in the transition economies of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union. This study examines poverty and social assistance in six countries - Bulgaria, Hungary, Poland, Estonia, Russia, and the Kyrgyz Republic - comparing the poverty profiles and the correlates of poverty between the two regions. The study finds that the profile of poverty is more sharply defined in Eastern Europe than in the former Soviet Union, where poverty is more widespread. This holds the potential for better targeting of social ass

Overview: Much research has been done recently, and more is now in progress, to increase the effectiveness under tropical conditions of methods which have been developed in Europe for preserving timber. This book attempts to bring together the results of some of these studies. I have not attempted to cover the tropical zones of Central and South America as this would have extended the book beyond its limits. But I am grateful to the authors who have contributed chapters dealing with the different aspects and solutions of the problems of the tropical areas of the Old World. The International Re

Overview: Im 19. Jahrhundert, in dem die heutige Eisenindustrie im wesentlichen entstanden ist, kannte man keine anderen Rücksichten als die der zu erbauenden Werksanlagen. Lediglich Fragen der Rohstoffe und ihres Antransportes wurden berücksichtigt; dagegen fanden andere Überlegungen und Probleme, wie Arbeitsbeschaf­ fung, Wohnraumschaffung u. ä. m., keine Beachtung, geschweige denn, daß von irgendeiner noch so einfachen Planung gesprochen werden konnte. Wo später die Not dazu zwang, ging man an die Schaffung nötigster Unterkünfte. So sind auch die damals bahn­ brechenden Siedlungen ALFRED KR
