Decades of innovations in combinatorial problem solving
have produced better and more complex algorithms. These
new methods are better since they can solve larger
problems and address new application domains. They are
also more complex which means that they are hard to
reproduce and often harder to fine-tune to the
peculiarities of a given problem. This last point has
created a paradox where efficient tools are out of reach
of practitioners. Autonomous search (AS) represents a
new research field defined to precisely address the above
challenge. This is the first book dedicated to this
topic, and it can be used as a reference for researchers,
engineers, and postgraduates in the areas of constraint
programming, machine learning, evolutionary computing,
and feedback control theory.

xiii, 366p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9781848729001.

The book explores what we can learn about the role of
emotions and imagination in moral reasoning from
psychopathic adults in the general community, from young
children, and adolescents with callous unemotional
traits, and from normal child development. It discusses
the implications for philosophical moral psychology of
recent experimental work on moral reasoning in the
cognitive sciences and neurosciences. Conversely, it
shows what cognitive scientists and neuroscientists have
still to learn from philosophical perspectives on moral
reasoning, moral reflection, and moral responsibility.
Finally, it looks at whether experimental methods used
for researching moral reasoning are consistent with the
work in social psychology and with philosophical thought
on adult moral reasoning in everyday life.

London: Routledge, 2012.
xviii, 123p. 22cm.
ISBN : 9780415595681.
174.4 WIL 135039
A key issue in economic discourse today is the relation
(or lack of it) between economic behaviour and morality.
With new analyses of the work of Hobbes and Smith, Dixon
and Wilson offer a fresh approach to the debate
surrounding economics and morality with a novel
discussion of the self in economic theory. This book
calls for a change in the way that the relation between
economic behaviour and morality is understood è from an
understanding of morality as a kind of preference that
informs certain types of other-regarding behaviour (the
way that modern economics understands the relationship),
to an idea of morality as a competence that enables or,
rather, conditions the possibility of all forms of human
behaviour, other-regarding or not.

The face of the world is changing. The past century has
seen the incredible growth of international institutions.
How does the fact that the world is becoming more
interconnected change institutions duties to people
beyond borders? Does globalization alone engender any
ethical obligations? In Globalization and Global Justice,
Nicole Hassoun addresses these questions and advances a
new argument for the conclusion that there are
significant obligations to the global poor. First, she
argues that there are many coercive international
institutions and that these institutions must provide the
means for their subjects to avoid severe poverty. Hassoun
then considers the case for aid and trade, and concludes
with a new proposal for fair trade in pharmaceutical and
biotechnology. Globalization and Global Justice will
appeal to readers in philosophy, politics, economics and
public policy.

Combining thematic analysis with country case studies
including Mexico, Bolivia, and Brazil, an international
group of scholars discuss the expectations, threats and
responses to globalization in Latin America. They look at
a variety of new research areas connected to
globalization, such as the creation of informal citizens,
the impact of remittances, the dangers of transnational
crime, indigenous responses to economic globalization and
its impact on human security. Moreover, they identify the
pitfalls of democracy in a globalizing Latin America, as
well as the hopes connected with energy politics.
Finally, they consider the relationship with China and
South-South cooperation as alternatives to long-term
historical alliances.

This book discusses the resilience of communities in both
developed and developing world contexts. It investigates
the notion of -resilience- and the challenges faced by
local communities around the world to deal with
disturbances (natural hazards or human-made) that may
threaten their long-term survival. Using global examples,
specific emphasis is placed on how learning processes,
traditions, policies and politics affect the resilience
of communities and what constraints and opportunities
exist for communities to raise resilience levels.

In this book, the author offers fresh insight into the
complexities faced by practitioners when working to
improve the communities, lives and livelihoods of people
the world over. This title shows how these complexities
are a context for, rather than a barrier to, creative
work. The book also critiques the single vision top down
approach to design and planning. Using examples of
successful professional practice across Europe, the US,
Africa, Latin America and post-tsunami Asia, the author
demonstrates how good policy can derive from good
practices when reasoned backwards, as well as how plans
can emerge in practice without a preponderance of
planning. Reasoning backwards is shown to be a more
effective and inclusive way of planning forwards with
significant improvements to the quality of process and
place.

IPolitics provides a current analysis of new media-s
effect on politics. Politicians rely on Twitter,
Facebook, and YouTube to exercise political power.
Citizens around the world also use these tools to vent
political frustrations, join political groups, and
organize revolutions. iPolitics describes the ways in
which new media innovations change how politicians and
citizens engage the political arena. Most importantly,
the volume emphasizes the implications of these changes
for the promotion of democratic ideals. Among other
things, contributors to this volume analyze whether the
public-s political knowledge has increased or decreased
in the new media era, the role television still plays in
the information universe, the effect bloggers have had on
the debate and outcome of healthcare reform, and the
manner in which political leaders should navigate the new
media environment.

xii, 249p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9780415891592.
325.3 AMI 135040
State formation in post-colonial societies differed
greatly from the formation of the Western capitalist
state. The latter has been extensively studied, while a
coherent grasp of the post-colonial state has remained
elusive. Amin-Khan provides a critical historical and
contemporary understanding of post-colonial state
formations in Asia and Africa, and suggests how this
process differed from the formation of states in Latin
America. In distinguishing between the post-colonial
state and the Western capitalist state, the author argues
that the unitary colonial state left a strong legacy on
the decolonized states of Asia and Africa, reinscribing
their subordination vis-è-vis Western states,
transnational corporations and multilateral institutions.

Ambitious environmental targets will modify the shape of
the electricity sector in the twenty-first century. Smart
technologies and demand-side management will be some of
the key features of the future of electricity systems in
a low-carbon world. Meanwhile, the social and behavioural
dimensions will complement and interact with new
technologies and policies. Electricity demand in the
future will increasingly be tied up with the demand for
heat and for transport. The Future of Electricity Demand
looks into the features of the future electricity demand
in light of the challenges posed by climate change.
Written by a team of leading academics and industry
experts, the book investigates the economics, technology,
social aspects, and policies and regulations which are
likely to characterize energy demand in a low-carbon
world.

written to make international economics accessible to
wide student and professional audiences. The book assumes
a minimal background in microeconomics and mathematics
and goes beyond the usual trade-finance dichotomy to give
equal treatment to four "windows" on the world economy,
international trade, international production,
international finance, and international development. It
takes a practitioner point of view rather than a standard
academic view, introducing the student to the material
they need to become effective analysts in international

This book examines these new creative clusters, outlining
their nature and purpose, and assessing their
effectiveness. Drawing on case studies of a range of
cluster models, and comparing them with international
examples, the book demonstrates that creativity, both in
China and internationally, is in fact a process of
fitting new ideas to existing patterns, models and
formats. It shows how large and exceptionally impressive
creative clusters have been successfully established, but
raises the important questions of whether profit or
culture is the driving force, and of whether the bringing
together of independent-minded, creative people,
entrepreneurial businessmen, preferential policies and
foreign investment may in time lead to unintended changes
in social and political attitudes in China, including a
weakening of state bureaucratic power.

ISBN : 9780230114067.

The idea of guaranteeing every member of society an
unconditional basic income is one the most innovative and
powerful proposals for countering our growing economic
inequalities and to sustainably prevent poverty. But
would this be a just thing to do? In the last few
decades, debates on the ethics and economics of basic
income have become increasingly sophisticated and
diverse. Basic Income Reconsidered provides an up-to-date
assessment of these arguments, and works out a novel
contribution based on the justification of unconditional
universalism. Birnbaum-s argument studies the basic
income proposal, and its main rivals, through the lens of
John Rawls- theory of justice and defends a radical-
liberal interpretation of Rawls- conception. It is
radical in the sense that it demands far-reaching
equalization of opportunities.

This book combines social and institutional histories of
Russia, focusing on the secret police and their evolving
relationship with the peasantry. Based on an analysis of
Cheka/OGPU reports, it argues that the police did not
initially respond to peasant resistance to Bolshevik
demands simply with the gun--rather, they listened to
peasant voices.

Regional trade agreements proliferated in Africa in the
wake of independence from colonial rule. For the most
part these agreements failed to deliver the regional
integration and economic benefits that were promised, and
amounted to little more than a propaganda coup for the
leaders that signed them. This book explores conventional
explanations of the failure of these agreements, and
challenges the accepted wisdom, highlighting the
symbiotic relationship between "Big Man" politics and
crony capitalism. The rise of second generation regional
trade agreements in the first decade of the twenty-first
century emphasizes the pressing need for a revised
assessment of the aims, consequences and scope of these
agreements.

xii, 268p. 22cm.
ISBN : 9789814343879.
511.3 WAL 135088
The book does not presuppose any previous knowledge and
can be used also for self-study by more ambitious
students. Starting with the basics of set theory,
induction and computability, it covers propositional and
first-order logic - their syntax, reasoning systems and
semantics. Soundness and completeness results for
Hilbert-s and Gentzen-s systems are presented, along with
simple decidability arguments. The general applicability
of various concepts and techniques is demonstrated by
highlighting their consistent reuse in different
contexts. Unlike in most comparable texts, presentation
of syntactic reasoning systems precedes the semantic
explanations. The simplicity of syntactic constructions
and rules - of a high, though often neglected,
pedagogical value - aids students in approaching more
complex semantic issues.

Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) are unique economic and
governance events as privately held firms issue common
stock or shares to the public for the first time. The
governance issues surrounding IPOs are relatively
unexamined compared to more established, and usually
larger, firms. As such, they provide a unique context to
study corporate governance and its development around the
world. Based on a collaborative international research
project, this book analyses the corporate governance of
IPOs in twenty-one countries, each of which is
characterized by different governance environments and
different levels of IPO activity. The end result is a
broad and deep assessment of governance practices and IPO
activity for an array of economies that represent roughly
80 percent of the global economy.

This poses a serious dilemma for anyone who is climbing

current technologies, more than one hundred new images,
and an all-new chapter, this new edition will inspire you
more than ever to free yourself from "auto" and create
the pictures you truly want. In his trademark easy-to-
understand style, author explains the relationship
between aperture and shutter speed, including how to
achieve successful exposures in seemingly difficult
situations. You-ll learn: which aperture gives you the
greatest contrast and sharpness, and when to use it,
which apertures guarantee the background remains an out-
of focus tone, which one aperture-when combined with the
right lens-creates an area of sharpness from three feet
to infinity, how to creatively use shutter speed to
either freeze an action or imply motion.

into not only taking a particular photo, but also
provides insights on how to improve upon it-helping
readers avoid the visual pitfalls and technical dead ends
that can lead to dull, uninventive photographs.

This book is an extended argument on the "coloniality" of
power by one of the most innovative scholars of Latin
American studies. In a shrinking world where sharp
dichotomies, such as East/West and developing/developed,
blur and shift, author points to the inadequacy of
current practice in the social sciences and area studies.
He introduces the crucial notion of "colonial difference"
into study of the modern colonial world. He also traces
the emergence of new forms of knowledge, which he calls
"border thinking."

imperialism, from colonialism through neo-liberalism, and
he describes resistance, from the sixteenth century
onward, to the projection and violent forcing of modern
European ideals onto the non-European world. The author
argues that in the early twenty-first century, an
irreversible polycentric world order has taken hold.
European-American modernity is no longer taken for
granted as a global model.
