x,211p. 21cm.
ISBN : 9780972326704.
294.3928 IKE 135763
This introduction to Nichiren Buddhism explores the
philosophical intricacies of life and reveals the wonder
inherent in the phases of birth, aging, and death. Core
concepts of Nichiren Buddhism, such as the ten worlds and
the nine consciousnesses, illustrate the profundity of
human existence. This book provides Buddhists with the
tools they need to fully appreciate the connectedness of
all beings and to revolutionise their spiritual lives
based on this insight. Also explored are how suffering
can be transformed to contribute to personal fulfilment
and the well-being of others and how modern scientific
research accords with ancient Buddhist views. Ultimately,
this is both a work of popular philosophy and a book of
compelling, compassionate inspiration for Buddhists and
non-Buddhists alike that fosters a greater understanding
of Nichiren Buddhism.

9 Sayer, Andrew
Realism and social science / Andrew Sayer.-- Los Angeles:
Sage Publications, 2000.
211p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9780761961246.
300.1 SAY 135751
Realism and Social Science offers the reader an
authoritative and compelling guide to critical realism
and its implications for social theory and for the
practice of social science. It offers an alternative both
to approaches which are overly confident about the
possibility of a successful social science and those
which are defeatist about any possibility of progress in
understanding the social world. Written by one of the
leading social theorists in the field, it demonstrates
the virtues of critical realism for theory and empirical
research in social science, and provides a critical
engagement with leading non-realist approaches.

of quality, and strategies for writing introductions to
studies, collecting data, analyzing data, writing a

Tauris, 2009.
xv, 343p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9781845117535.
333.912 BRI 135743
In the last decade, water resources planners have
frequently signaled an impending water crisis. The
message is that the world is running out of water and
that only by careful planning and the adoption of
integrated water resources management can catastrophe be
avoided. Stephen Brichieri-Colombi challenges these
perceptions. He maintains that the crisis is one of
resource management rather than availability: it arises
because water resource planners advocate exploitation of
rivers without due regard to social, environmental and
geopolitical consequences. The author advances a new
paradigm - water in the national economy - which will
enable developing countries to meet future food and water
demands without increasing abstraction from rivers and
consequential riparian conflict. This is a powerful re-
appraisal of the development of global water resources.

Many African countries are increasingly interested in
learning from China-s experiences in achieving effective
agricultural development. The Chinese government and
academic community are also keen to share experiences and
lessons with Africa. The book highlights experiences and
lessons from China and, in particular, analyzes why
Africa has not yet been able to emulate China-s
agricultural development trajectory. It compares the
similarities and discrepancies in conditions, processes,
and outcomes between China and Africa from the
perspectives of investment, science and technology,
policies and international development aid. Based on this
it explores which experiences and lessons from China-s
agriculture development can be shared with African
countries in order to contribute to the sustainable
improvement and transformation of African agriculture.

Case Studies in Crisis Communication: International
Perspectives on Hits and Misses was created to fill the
gap for a much-needed textbook in case studies in crisis
communication from international perspectives. The events
of September 11, 2001, other major world crises, and the
ongoing macroeconomic challenges of financial
institutions, justify the need for this book. The variety
and the international focus of the cases, be they
environmental, health or management successes or
failures, makes this book more appealing to a wider
audience. These cases examine socio-cultural issues
associated with responding to a variety of crises.

xv, 346p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9780231159708.
658.4092 HUR 135779
This book is David Hurst’s innovative integration of
management practice and theory, using a systems
perspective and analogies drawn from nature to illustrate
groundbreaking ideas and their practical application.
Hurst-s objective is to help readers make meaning from
their own management experience and education, and to
encourage improvement in their practical judgment and
wisdom. His approach takes an expansive view of
organizations, connecting their development to
humankind-s evolutionary heritage and cultural history.
It locates the origins of organizations in communities of
trust and follows their development and maturation. He
also crucially tracks the decline of organizations as
they age and shows how their strengths become weaknesses
in changing circumstances. Hurst-s core argument is that
the human mind is rational in an ecological, rather than
a logical, sense.

In this classic volume, written at the height of the Cold
War, with a new preface of 2006, Peter Viereck, one of
the foremost intellectual spokesmen of modern
conservatism, examines the differing responses of
American and European intellectuals to the twin threats
of Nazism and Soviet communism. In so doing, he seeks to
formulate a humanistic conservatism with which to counter
the danger of totalitarian thought in the areas of
politics, ethics, and art.
