This book emphasizes digital means to record and code
such behavior, while observational methods do not require
them, they work better with them. Key topics include
devising coding schemes, training observers and assessing
reliability, as well as recording, representing and
analyzing observational data. This book provides a
thorough grounding in observational methods along with
considerable practical advice. It describes standard
conventions for sequential data and details how to
perform sequential analysis with a computer program
developed by the authors. The book is rich with examples
of coding schemes and different approaches to sequential
analysis, including both statistical and graphical means.

This book reviews the breadth of current approaches for
studying how people think, feel, and behave in everyday
environments, rather than in the laboratory. The volume
thoroughly describes experience sampling methods, diary
methods, physiological measures, and other self-report
and non-self-report tools that allow for repeated, real-
time measurement in natural settings. Practical guidance
is provided to design a high-quality study, select and
implement appropriate methods, and analyze the resulting
data using cutting-edge statistical techniques.
Applications across a wide range of psychological
subfields and research areas are discussed in detail.

Global ethics : an introduction / Heather Widdows.--
Durham: Acumen publishing, 2011.
ix, 294p. 24cm.
ISBN : 9781844652815.
172 WID 134132
This book addresses some of the most pressing ethical
concerns today, including rogue states, torture, scarce
resources, poverty, migration, consumption, global trade,
medical tourism, and humanitarian intervention. It is
both topical and important. How we resolve (or fail to
resolve) the dilemmas of global ethics shapes how we
understand ourselves, our relationships with each other
and the social and political frameworks of governance now
and into the future. This is seen most clearly in the
case of climate change, where our actions now determine
the environment our grandchildren will inherit, but it is
also the case in other areas as our decisions about what
it is permissible for humans beings to do to each other
determines the type of beings we are.

ISBN : 9788183763455.

This book contains three volumes. What would Sociology be
without its great sociological thinkers who have
contributed so much to this mother of social sciences?
Successful social thinkers consider the points of view,
emotions, thoughts, beliefs, prior knowledge and
intentions of others (this is often called perspective-
taking-considering the perspectives of others). Social
thinking occurs everywhere, when we talk, share space,
walk down the street, even when we read a novel and
relate to our pets. It is an intelligence that integrates
information across home, work and community settings-
something we usually take for granted! The book endeavors
to provide all requirements of students and teachers to
enable them to achieve success in social work and related
activities.

194p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9780745648095.

In this book, author argues that this process of
technical reproduction has become dangerously divorced
from its role in the constitution of human experience.
Radically challenging the optimistic view of new
technologies as facilitators of learning and progress, he
argues new marketing techniques shortcircuit thought and
disenfranchise consumers, programming them to seek short-
term gratification. These practices of èlibidinal
economicsè have profound consequences for nature of human
desire and they underpin the social and psychological
malaise of contemporaty industrial society.

The idea of inter-linking and communicating with the aid
of computers was as old as the mainframe computers of the
1970s. But the mainframes could be owned only by mega-
establishments, individuals could not afford them for
personal use. The networking of computers, I was found,
allowed simultaneous access to single mainframe by any
number of users. This development suited owners and users
alike. In the decades that followed, computer technology
advanced by leaps and bounds. This resulted in the
invention of much smaller computer.

This book surveys a -cluster- of works that seek to

information society. It introduces key ideas, and
includes detailed discussion of the work of two key
thinkers in this area, Manuel Castells and Donna Haraway,
as well as outlining the development of cyber culture
studies as a field. To do this, the book also explores
selected -moments- in this development, from the early
1990s, when cyberspace and cyber culture were only just
beginning to come together as ideas, up to the present
day, when the field of cyber culture studies has grown
and bloomed, producing innovative theoretical and
empirical work from a diversity of standpoints.

Catherine Belsey.-- London: Routledge, 2009.
xv, 172p. 20cm.
ISBN : 9780415252898.
306 BEL 133952
This book explains with Professor Belsey-s characteristic
lucidity the views of recent theorists, including Jean-
Frantois Lyotard, Judith Butler and Slavoj Zizek, as well
as their debt to the earlier work of Kant and Hegel, in
order to take issue with their accounts of what it is to
be human. To explore the human, she demonstrates, is to
acknowledge the relationship between culture and what we
don-t know: not the familiar world picture presented to
us by culture as -reality-, but the unsayable, or the
strange region that lies beyond culture, which Lacan has
called -the real-. Culture, she argues, registers a sense
of its own limits in ways more subtle than the theorists
allow.

320.473 MUI 133809
This book explores the words and ideas of thinkers as
Madison, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Tocqueville. The author
discusses the nature and limits of three types of power-
coercive, reciprocal, and moral-and then uses this
framework to explain how American political institutions
work. If looking for an alternative to a long survey text
or itching to get students grappling with The Federalist
Papers or Democracy in America with more of a payoff-
Muir-s meditation on power and personal freedom is a
gateway for students to take their study of politics to
the next level. The author adopts inductive style,
engaging students with well-chosen and masterfully
written stories of American democracy.

(Cambridge studies in international relations, 121).
ISBN : 9781107603769.
327.17 RAT 134205
Drawing on social psychology, in this book, author shows
that individuals placed in the same structural
circumstances show markedly different propensities to
cooperate based on their beliefs about the
trustworthiness of others. Linking this finding to
political psychology, author explains why liberals
generally pursue a more multilateral foreign policy than
conservatives, evident in the Democratic Party-s greater
support for a genuinely multilateral League of Nations,
United Nations and North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
Rathbun argues that the post-Second World War bipartisan
consensus on multilateralism is a myth, and differences
between the parties are growing continually starker.

The book discusses a vast array of issues often left out
of traditional texts but which anyone who wishes to
follow economic events needs to know. Although the book
is designed for the general reader and not as a textbook,
it would nevertheless benefit students of economics
whether used by themselves and on their own or within a
classroom in conjunction with another more mainstream
text. It is also perfectly compatible with the
requirements of an introductory course in economics.

330.951 WIL 134013
This book examines globalization and foreign investment
in a different light, showing how these developments have
helped to chart China-s entry into international society.
China-s WTO accession agreement and international norms
have established parameters by which to judge Chinese
legal and business reforms. Although China-s rise is a
grave concern to the world, Remade in China asserts that
Chinese leaders now see compliance with international
rules as a means to secure more investment and to enhance
their international legitimacy. The author provides a
lucid and insightful analysis of how foreign and domestic
actors, from political leaders to average laborers, have
contributed to remaking China-s institutions.

III. In this book Chorafas takes a well-rounded look at
Basel III-s strengths and weaknesses and its impact on

macroeconomic management and foreign direct investment
(FDI) to and from the region. It also discusses important
policy issues of contemporary relevance, but is informed
by analytical frameworks, data and empirics. It is
relevant to policy makers, researchers and others who

three emerging economies. The book analyses whether
liquidity conditions play an important role in stock
market developments. As an innovation, liquidity
conditions enter the analysis from three angles: in the
form of a broad monetary aggregate, the interbank
overnight rate and net capital flows, which represent the
share of global liquidity that arrives in the respective
country. It also analyses whether central banks are able
to influence the stock market.

Economics and ecology : united for a sustainable world /
Russ Beaton and Chris Maser.-- Boca Raton: CRC Press,
2012.
xxvii, 191p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9781439852958.
333.7 BEA 133808
This book advocates the replacement of symptomatic
thinking with a systemic worldview that treats the
environment and the economy as an ecosystemic unit. The
first part of the book establishes the methodological and
biophysical principles needed to develop the concept of
socioeconomic sustainability. The second part of the book
examines the misuse of economics in the service of what
increasingly appears to be a ruinous pursuit of material
wealth and expansion. The third part offers advice on
reconciling economics and ecology by proposing an
economics in which the principles employed are aligned
with the biophysical principles of ecology. This book puts
forth a sustainable worldview based on systemic thinking,
with the emphasis more on what and how people think than
on what they do.

From bioeconomics to degrowth : Georgescu-Roegen-s "new

ISBN : 9780415587006.
333.7 GEO 134136
In his last years Georgescu-Roegen intended to publish a
text entitled Bioeconomics, as an initial systematic
arrangement of this doctrine. This book aims to pick up
that project in two ways: first, collecting Goergescu-
Roegents main contributions to bioeconomic theory, some
still unpublished, and tackling the principal nubs of the
discipline particularly the criticism of sustainable
development. Second, recuperating that full multi-
disciplinarily that represents the profoundest
characteristic of the bioeconomic theory. The concluding
essay is now considered a cornerstone of the degrowth
perspective.

This book challenges the idea that humanity as a whole is
united in a common development toward increasingly
efficient technologies. Instead it argues that modern
technology implies a kind of global -zero-sum game-
involving uneven resource flows, which make it possible
for wealthier parts of global society to save time and
space at the expense of humans and environments in the
poorer parts. It brings together various perspectives
from environmental and economic anthropology, ecological
economics, political ecology, world-system analysis,
fetishism theory, semiotics, environmental and economic
history, and development theory.

The book considers the growth of small rural coal mines
as part of the Township and Village Enterprises (TVEs)
programme in China, and these small mines have brought
prosperity to areas where small manufacturing enterprises
are not competitive, but at the same time have been the
cause of many social and environmental problems. It also
examines the situation of coal miners - arguably one the
most vulnerable segments of the Chinese working class -
under socialism and under capitalism, paying particular
attention to the issue of work safety and coal mine
disasters. The book provides a comprehensive and coherent
treatment of these issues from the establishment of the
People-s Republic up to 2010.

Zara and her sisters, with 3,626 shops across the world,
are the indisputable global leaders in the textile
sector, under the careful guidance of founder, Amancio
Ortega. These are many speculative theories that try to
explain the incredible success of the Inditex group
ranging from clandestine workshops full of ill-treated
employees to capital coming from unmentionable sources.
It is about investing in the best location, even if this
costs a huge amount of money and having the facilities
ready to react quickly to unforeseen events. And of
course above all, their success lies in listening to
their customers. The author explains some of the inside
Zara-s world in this book, and uncover the secrets to the
success of this giant company.

this field. This book provides a critical overview of
different conceptions and theories of development,
situating institutional theories within the larger
academic debate on development. The book also discusses
why, whether and how institutions matter in different
fields of development. In the domestic sphere, the
authors answer these questions by analyzing institutional
reforms in the public (rule of law, political regimes,
bureaucracy) and the private sectors (contracts, property
rights, and privatization). In the international sphere,
they discuss the importance of institutions for trade,
foreign direct investment, and foreign aid.

sense? (iii) How are flagship programmes or schemes of
the government dealing with some of these concerns? This

This book explains that current economist theories do not
take into account the socially constructed nature of the
debate surrounding the environment and environmental
policy. It examines whether proposed economic solutions
to environmental policy are, in fact, viable in practice.
The book demonstrates that social conflicts cause policy
compromises, which shape the economic system of a post-
industrial ecological society. The author offers an
innovative socio-economic theory of environmental
politics, which illuminates the transformation dynamics
brought about by the ecological crisis. This book is
useful for students and scholars of environmental
politics, policy and governance.

This book analyses how poverty is recognized and measured
and how people in poverty are identified. Lu Caizhen-s
research compares four approaches to poverty assessment:
China-s official poverty identification method, the
participatory approach to poverty assessment, the
monetary approach, and use of multidimensional poverty
indicators. Each of these is applied to the same
population of households to identify the poor in rural
Wuding County, Yunnan Province. This book reveals that
different methods of poverty assessment produce vastly
different poverty rates. The author gives a vivid sense
of Chinese village society and how the rural poor view
their own lives.

of Americans surveyed say they-re deriving a sense of
satisfaction from reducing their purchases during the
down turn, and seven in ten global respondents say they
feel good about reducing the amount of waste they create.
- Nearly half of the American respondents have no
intention of going back to their old shopping patterns,
even when the economy rebounds.

This book explores the way in which disability activists
in the United Kingdom and Canada have transformed their
aspirations into legal claims in their quest for
equality. It unpacks shifting conceptualizations of the
political identity of disability and the role of a rights
discourse in these dynamics. In doing so, it delves into
the diffusion of disability rights among grassroots
organizations and the traditional disability charities.
It then shows how the diffusion of this rights model of
disability can explain how and why disability activists
have deployed legal strategies in pursuit of their goals.
The book draws on a wealth of primary sources including
court records and campaign documents and encompassing
interviews with more than sixty activists and legal
experts.

Moberg.-- Boca Raton: CRC Press, 2012.
xvii, 186p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9781439853184.
363.70068 LIN 134069
This book explains and illustrates the application of
multi-criteria decision analysis, which "can not only
aggregate the variegated views of conflicting
stakeholders, but can also weigh criteria with different
units, scales, and meanings against each other
effectively"--to environmental management. Following a
general introduction to MCDA methods and applications to
environmental science, the authors present a sustained
examination of MCDA methodologies in sediment management,
exploration of case studies of MCDA application in
nanotechnology, and consideration of MCDA in the varied
realms of oyster restoration, oil spill response, algal
bloom management, and setting dredging windows for
sensitive fish species.

theorems (CLTs) for weighted sums of short memory linear
processes. This part contains the analysis of certain
operators in Lp spaces and their employment in the
derivation of CLTs. The applications of CLTs are to the
asymptotic distribution of various estimators for several
econometric models. Among the models discussed are static
linear models with slowly varying regressors, spatial
models, time series auto regressions, and two nonlinear
models.

ISBN : 9780230294257.
658.4 ZAN 134003
This book traces the evolution of corporate governance
over time, with a particular focus on the changing nature
of power. The control of scarce resources used in
production has evolved considerably over the past
centuries, with government, landowners, non-owner
managers, and institutional investors acting as
controlling powers at different points in time. In order
to appropriately protect the various, and changing,
stakeholders, the system of corporate governance has also
developed over the year. This book incorporates
theoretical work as well as practical applications to
analyse these developments and explore emerging trends of
the 21st century. It examines how the pursuit of profit
maximization has resulted in governance failures and it
focuses on the prospective role of business ethics in
helping reform flawed governance structures.

Persistence involves the risk of throwing good money (or
resources) after bad, but owners may feel they too much
invested to quit now. This book reveals why social
scientists believe that owners may not respond rationally
to such predicaments. Instead of exiting when the odds
are clearly stacked against them, they re-invest and end
up compounding their losses - a phenomenon known as
escalation of commitment. The authors, Helga Drummond and
Julia Hodgson, introduce the concept of entrapment, a
variation whereby decision-makers passively drift towards
insolvency as the cost of changing direction becomes too
high. It provides an accessible introduction to the
application of theory against a background of growing
interest in behavioral economics.

Executive intelligence : the leader-s edge / Irving H

xii, 271p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9781610480772.
658.409 BUC 134144
This book zeros in on leadership smarts and notes that in
all lists compiled by leadership experts, head hunters,
and boards of directors the one and only trait that
appears in all is intelligence. Obvious? No, because
typically leadership savvy regularly trumps smarts. That
is unfortunate because it obscures the cultivation and
development of how leaders think, speculate, conceive,
and problem solve their own firms and the way they lead.
Executive intelligence like emotional intelligence acts
like an advanced scout sizing up situations, identifying
mine fields, creating contingencies, developing last
minute ways out, and then acting like the artful dodger.
In the process, the leader develops a special kind of
intelligence tied to and defining the kind if leader he
or she is, and that ultimately generates the leader-s
edge and comparative advantage.

connects theory with practical problems around key
questions, such as: Is there any method in having -good

Which alternative governance and organizational
structures are to be considered for the constitution and
organization of a new firm? To grow or not to grow? (Or
how to grow without up-sizing)? How do you organize grown
up firms in an entrepreneurial mode? How can environments
and external institutions help? Original case studies are
discussed and integrated throughout the text, which
reflect a wide range of sectors (from agri-business to
high tech) and countries (including emerging economies).

Expanding on the editors- award-winning article,
"Evolving to a New Dominant Logic for Marketing," this
book presents a new paradigm for the marketing
discipline. This new paradigm is service-centered,
customer-oriented, relationship-focused, and knowledge-
based, and places marketing, once viewed as a support
function, as central to overall business strategy."
"Service-dominant logic defines service as the
application of competences for the benefit of another
entity and sees mutual service provision, rather than the
exchange of goods, as the proper subject of marketing. It
moves the orientation of marketing from a "market to"
philosophy where customers are promoted to, targeted, and
captured, to a "market with" orientation, where the
customer and supply chain partners are collaborators in
the entire marketing process.

vii, 331p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9780521173124.
901 SAC 133811
In recent years, historians across the world have become
increasingly interested in transnational and global
approaches to the past. However, the debates surrounding
this new border-crossing movement have remained limited
in scope as theoretical exchanges on the tasks,
responsibilities and potentials of global history have
been largely confined to national or regional academic
communities. In this book, the author sets out to redress
this imbalance by offering a series of new perspectives
on the global and local flows, sociologies of knowledge
and hierarchies that are an intrinsic part of historical
practice. Taking the United States, Germany and China as
his main case studies, he reflects upon the character of
different approaches to global history as well as their
social, political and cultural contexts.
