2 Christofidou, Andrea
Self, reason, and freedom : a new light on Descartes-
metaphysics / Andrea Christofidou.-- New York: Routledge,
2013.
269p. 24cm.
ISBN : 9780415501064.

Freedom and its internal relation to reason is
fundamental to Descartes- philosophy in general, and to
his Meditations on First Philosophy in particular.
Without freedom his entire enquiry would not get off the
ground, and without understanding the role of freedom in
his work, we could not understand what motivates key
parts of his metaphysics.Self, Reason, and Freedom: A New
Light on Descartes- Metaphysics, by defending freedom-s
internal relation to reason, sheds new light on
Descartes- metaphysics and restores the often dismissed
Fourth Meditation to the core of his metaphysics as he
conceived it. The author shows how this lends strength
and explanatory force to Descartes- enquiry, and reveals
his conception of the unity of the self and of its place
in the world.

320.530954 OLL 138163
This book examines extremist groups in Kashmir,
Afghanistan, Northeast India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and
Sri Lanka to offer a fresh perspective on the causes of
extremism. What accounts for its rise in societies not
historically predisposed to extremism? What determines
the winners and losers in the identity struggles in South
Asia? What tips the balance between more moderate versus
extremist outcomes? The book argues that politics, inter-
state and international relations often play a more
important role in the rise of extremism in South Asia
than religious identity, poverty, and state repression.

Do great leaders make history? Or are they compelled to
act by historical circumstance? This debate has remained
unresolved since Thomas Carlyle and Karl Marx framed it
in the mid-nineteenth century, yet implicit answers
inform our policies and our views of history. In this
book, the author argues persuasively that both
perspectives are correct: leaders shape the main material
and ideological forces of history that subsequently
constrain and compel them. His studies of the Congress of
Vienna, the interwar period, and the end of the Cold War
illustrate this dynamic, and the data he marshals provide
systematic evidence that leaders both shape and are
constrained by the structure of the international system.

as part of its Energy Series Programme. A wide range of
topics is covered, from nanotechnology, clean energy,
hydropower, renewable energy and nuclear power to
bilateral relations, energy security and energy
efficiency -all with the unifying energy theme in the
context of Asia. This compilation aims to provide the
reader with insights into the overall trends and
developments that have shaped and continued to influence
energy policy, security and strategy in Asia and is a
useful reference point for experts and those uninitiated
in this field. With Asia, especially China and India,
leading world energy consumption, Asian energy trends are

The author shows how the fuzziness of rules governing
water allocation and use and their lax enforcement have
induced widespread unauthorized extraction of water and
encouraged its wasteful and inefficient use. He argues
that in order to arrest and reverse these trends a
radical change in strategy and policy is required with a
shift in focus from merely supply augmentation to
encouraging civil participation, water governance
reforms, and incentives for efficient water use.

motivating people to do the best work of their lives an
experience described by many who worked for him. Steve
Jobs used "Pirates! Not the Navy" as a rallying cry, a
metaphor to "Think Different". At Apple in the days of
developing the Macintosh, it became the de-facto mantra
of the Macintosh group a four-word mission statement. It
expresses the heart of Apple and Steve. This book is a
guide to shifting a person-s paradigm to become Steve
Jobs like, to assemble and lead innovative teams.

44 Pfeffer, Jeffrey
The Knowing-doing gap :how smart companies turn knowledge
into action / Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert I Sutton.--
Boston: HBS Press, 2000.
xv, 314 p. 24 cm.
ISBN : 9781578511242.
658.4038 PFE 128200
The Knowing-Doing Gap" is the first book to confront the
challenge of turning knowledge about how to improve
performance into actions that produce measurable results.
Jeffrey Pfeffer and Robert Sutton, well-known authors and
teachers, identify the causes of the knowing-doing gap
and explain how to close it. The message is clear - firms
that turn knowledge into action avoid the "smart talk
trap."Executives must use plans, analysis, meetings, and
presentations to inspire deeds, not as substitutes for
action. Companies that act on their knowledge also
eliminate fear, abolish destructive internal competition,
measure what matters, and promote leaders who understand
the work people do in their firms. The authors use
examples from dozens of firms that show how some overcome
the knowing-doing gap, why others try but fail, and how
still others avoid the gap in the first place.

This book provides a comprehensive account of cultural
knowledge and skills useful in strategic marketing
management. In making these cultural concepts and
frameworks accessible and in discussing how to use them,
this book goes beyond the identification of historical,
socio-cultural and political factors and their effects on
market outcomes. It builds understanding of the cultural
symbols, world views, and practices at the heart of
organizations and consumer collectives to better
comprehend their relationships in markets. It highlights
the benefits that managers can reap from applying
interpretive cultural approaches across the realm of
strategic marketing activities including: market
segmentation, product and brand positioning, market
research, pricing, product development, advertising, and
retail distribution, among others.
