175 SIC 133291
In this book, author addresses broader issues about the
ethics of games, the ethics of playing the games, and the
ethical responsibilities of game designers. He argues
that computer games are ethical objects, that computer
game players are ethical agents, and that the ethics of
computer games should be seen as a complex network of
responsibilities and moral duties. Players should not be
considered passive amoral creatures, they reflect,
relate, and create with ethical minds. The games they
play are ethical systems, with rules that create
gameworlds with values at play.

ISBN : 9780262016155.
303.32 BEN 133962
This book shows us how we use the brains of others to
think for us and as storage space for knowledge about the
world. The story zooms out from the individual to small
groups to the complexities of populations. It describes,
among other things, how buzzwords propagate and how ideas
spread, how the swine flu scare became an epidemic, and
how focused social learning by a few gets amplified as
copying by the masses. It describes how ideas, behavior,
and culture spread through the simple means of doing what
others do. It is notoriously difficult to change
behavior. For every "Yes We Can" political slogan, there
are thousands of "Just Say No" buttons. This book offers
a practical map to help us navigate the complex world of
social behavior, an essential guide for anyone who wants
to understand how people behave and how to begin to
change things.

This book examines the contemporary nature of caste
disparities in India by using a framework that integrates
discussions on caste from other social science
disciplines with those from within economics. It brings
together quantitative evidence on different dimensions of
caste disparities based on two large national-level data
sets, in order to analyze the degree of change in the
caste system over the last two decades. Offering evidence
based on economic analysis, it questions commonly-held
views and challenges traditional wisdom.

19 Stone, Alison
Feminism, psychoanalysis and maternal subjectivity /
Alison Stone.-- New York: Routledge, 2012.
ix, 194p. 23cm.
(Routledge studies in contemporary philosophy, 30).
ISBN : 9780415885423.
306.874301 STO 133988
In this book, the author develops a feminist approach to
maternal subjectivity. Author argues that in the West the
self has often been understood in opposition to the
maternal body, so that one must separate oneself from the
mother and maternal care-givers on whom one depended in
childhood to become a self or, in modernity, an
autonomous subject. These assumptions make it difficult
to be a mother and a subject, an autonomous creator of
meaning. Insofar as mothers nonetheless strive to regain
their subjectivity when their motherhood seems to have
compromised it, theirs cannot be the usual kind of
subjectivity premised on separation from the maternal
body. Mothers are subjects of a new kind, who generate
meanings and acquire agency from their position of re-
immersion in the realm of maternal body relations, of
bodily intimacy and dependency.

ISBN : 9788132107415.
320.6082 JAI 133961
This book brings together 14 essays by feminist thinkers
from different parts of the world, reflecting on the
flaws in the current patterns of development and arguing
for political, economic, and social changes to promote
equality and sustainability. The essays are written in
the context of the "triple crises" of food, fuel, and
finance, and the underlying deep-seated problems of
growing inequality, squeeze on time to provide unpaid
care to family and friends, and environmentally
unsustainable patterns of economic growth. The authors
argue that the very approach being taken to understand
and measure progress, and plan for and evaluate
development, needs rethinking in ways that draw on the
experiences and knowledge of women.

x, 168p. 24cm.
ISBN : 9781848444287.

This work criticizes the governance model for resting on
the rational myth and the assumption that democratic
ideals can be translated to specified democratic values,
which in turn can be adhered to by democratic agents. By
adding an organizational perspective to the analysis of
governance and democracy, the book proves that theories
about organizing and the construction of agency can be
used to explain how and why democratic values are
attended to in governance structures.

This book assesses India-s resilience in the face of the
global financial crisis but then shows how the global
crisis and our domestic policy failures have taken a toll
on India-s economic performance: growth has slowed
significantly, inflation has remained high, the external
current account deficit has more than doubled, and the
rate of domestic investment has fallen. The author also
outlines the priorities that the government must focus on
to overcome these challenges, and debunks several myths
that weaken current policies.

their countries. They draw from quantitative data and
interviews with male and female managers in these
countries, which were gathered through the Center for
Work Life Policy (of which they are both associated) from
2009-2010, to illustrate how to attract and retain these
overlooked and highly qualified women and help them
overcome cultural limitations and organizational
constraints that hinder them, such as bias and
discrimination, child care issues, extreme job workloads,
and pressures from extended family.

Cyber law is a term that encapsulates the legal issues
related to the use of communicative, transactional, and

technologies. It is less a distinct field of law in the
way that property or contract are, as it is a domain
covering many areas of law and regulation. Some leading
topics include intellectual property, privacy, freedom of
expression, and jurisdiction. Issues of jurisdiction and
sovereignty have quickly come to the fore in the era of
the Internet. This book provides deep insight into
various dimensions of issues relating to the subject.

(Lecture notes in economics and mathematical systems, 650)

This book shows the results of behavioral experiments, in
which the participants share private information in order
to influence the contract terms in a Just-in-Time
environment. It is shown that the impact of information
sharing is ambiguous, and dependent on several factors,
such as contract flexibility and complexity or the
interacting behavioral types. The experimental results
form the basis for a behavioral principal-agent model
that gives valuable insights on how the interaction of
trust, trustworthiness and the information sharing
strategy impacts the supply chain performance.

This book demonstrates that effective management of
supply disruptions necessitates both strategic and
tactical measures - the former involving optimal design
of supply networks, the latter involving inventory,
finance and demand management. It shows that managers
ought to use all available levers at their disposal
throughout the supply network- like sourcing and pricing
strategies, providing financial subsidies, encouraging
information sharing and incentive alignment between
supply chain partners - in order to tackle supply
disruptions. The editors combine up-to-date academic
research with the latest operational risk management
practices used in industry to demonstrate how
theoreticians and practitioners can learn from each
other.

106 Aarons, Debra
Jokes and the linguistic mind / Debra Aarons.-- London:
Routledge, 2012.
xi, 272p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9780415890496.
809.7 AAR 133990
This book investigates jokes that play on some aspect of
the structure and function of language. In so doing, the
author shows that these "linguistic jokes" can evoke our
tacit knowledge of the language we use. Analyzing
hilarious examples from movies, plays and books, the book
demonstrates that tacit linguistic knowledge must become
conscious for linguistic jokes to be understood. The
book examines jokes that exploit pragmatic, semantic,
morphological, phonological and semantic features of
language, as well as jokes that use more than one
language and jokes that are about language itself.
Additionally, the text explores the relationship between
cryptic crossword clues and linguistic jokes in order to
demonstrate the difference between tacit knowledge of
language and rules of language use that are articulated
for a particular purpose.
