2 Barthes, Roland
How to live together : novelistic simulations of some
everyday spaces / Roland Barthes.-- New York: Columbia
University Press, 2013.
xxx, 222p. , 25cm.
ISBN : 9780231136174.
100 BAR 140364
In this work, Barthes focuses on the concept of
"idiorrhythmy," a productive form of living together in
which one recognizes and respects the individual rhythms
of the other. He explores this phenomenon through five
texts that represent different living spaces and their
associated ways of life: Emile Zola-s Pot-Bouille, set in
a Parisian apartment building, Thomas Mann-s The Magic
Mountain, which takes place in a sanatorium, Andre Gide-s
La Sequestree de Poitiers, based on the true story of a
woman confined to her bedroom, Daniel Defoe-s Robinson
Crusoe, about a castaway on a remote island, and
Pallidius-s Lausiac History, detailing the ascetic lives
of the desert fathers. Like his previous lecture books,
this volume exemplifies Barthes-s singular approach to
teaching, in which he invites his audience to investigate
with him and wholly incorporates his listeners into his
discoveries.

3 Vyse, Stuart A
Believing in magic : the psychology of superstition /
Stuart A Vyse.-- Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013.
xii, 316p. , 21cm.
ISBN : 9780199996926.
133.43019 VYS 140380
In this fully updated edition of Believing in Magic,
renowned superstition expert Stuart Vyse investigates our
tendency towards these irrational beliefs. Superstitions,
he writes, are the natural result of several
psychological processes, including our human sensitivity
to coincidence, a penchant for developing rituals to fill
time (to battle nerves, impatience, or both), our efforts
to cope with uncertainty, the need for control, and more.

Historical tales and national identity : an introduction
to narrative social psychology / Janos Laszlo.-- London:
Routledge, 2014.
x, 190p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9780415704700.
302 LAS 140360
In this book Laszlo enhances our understanding of
narrative psychology and further elaborates his narrative
theory of history and identity. He offers a conceptual
model that draws on diverse areas of psychology - social,
political, cognitive and psychodynamics - and integrates
them into a coherent whole. In addition to this
conceptual contribution, he also provides a major
methodological innovation: a content analytic framework
and software package that can be used to analyse various
kinds of historical texts and shed new light on national
identity. In the second part of the book, the potential
of this approach is empirically illustrated, using
Hungarian national identity as the focus.

This volume emphasizes the economic aspects of art and
culture, a relatively new field that poses inherent
problems for economics, with its quantitative concepts
and tools. Building bridges across disciplines such as
management, art history, art philosophy, sociology, and
law, editors Victor Ginsburgh and David Throsby assemble
chapters that yield new perspectives on the supply and
demand for artistic services, the contribution of the
arts sector to the economy, and the roles that public
policies play. It offers a rigorous description that
avoids common problems associated with art and culture
scholarship. It makes details about the economics of art
and culture accessible to scholars in fields outside
economics.

This collection makes a valuable theoretical and
empirical contribution to the study of Political Economy.
The book covers a wide range of approaches currently in
vogue, coupled with an exploration of areas in
commonality, thus rendering it a more effective
introduction to Political Economy than many of the
purpose written, but highly partial, existing texts. The
individual papers, while summarizing the established
literature in each field, also contribute much that is
new and of considerable value to the further development
of the subject.

Global financial contagion : building a resilient world

x, 394p. 23cm.
ISBN : 9781107609617.
332.042 SHA 140340
This book is an authoritative account of the economic and
political roots of the 2008 financial crisis. It examines
why it was triggered in the United States, why it morphed
into the Great Recession, and why the contagion spread
with such ferocity around the globe. It also examines how
and why economies, including the Eurozone, Russia, China,
India, East Asia, and the Middle East , have been
impacted and explores their response to the unprecedented
challenges of the crisis and the effectiveness of their
policy measures. Global Financial Contagion specifically
looks at how the Obama administration-s policy missteps
have contributed to America-s huge debt and slow
recovery, why the Eurozone-s response to its existential
crisis has become a never-ending saga, and why the G-20-s
efforts to create a new international financial
architecture may fall short.

xviii, 236p.24cm.
ISBN : 9780199652716.
332.673091724 COL 140370
his book examines the relatively recent and under-
explored phenomenon of outward foreign direct investment
(FDI) from the large emerging market countries, focusing
on the four BRIC states (Brazil, Russia, India, and
China) and on the services sector meaning primarily
telecommunications, finance, and transport. It considers
the international legal framework governing FDI,
discussing the nature and extent of the bilateral and
regional investment treaty commitments undertaken by each
of the BRIC states, including their commitments under the
WTO General Agreement on Trade in Services, as well as
their obligations as members of the International
Monetary Fund and the World Bank.

Systemic global risks of oil supply, climate shock and
financial collapse threaten tomorrow-s economies and mean
businesses and policy makers face huge challenges in
fuelling tomorrow-s world. Jeremy Leggett gives a
personal testimony of the dangers often ignored and
incompletely understood - a journey through the human
mind, the institutionalization of denial, and the reasons
civilizations fail. It is also an account of tantalizing
hope, because mobilizing renewables and redeploying
energy funding can soften the crash of modern capitalism
and set us on a road to renaissance.

Why have Americans severely limited the estate and gift
tax - ostensibly targeted at only the very wealthy - but
greatly expanded the subsidies to low-wage workers
through the Earned Income Tax Credit, now the single
largest poverty program in the country? Why do people
hate the property tax so much, yet seemingly revolt
against it only during periods of economic change? Why
are some groups of taxpayers more obedient to the tax
authorities than others, even when they face the same
enforcement regime? These puzzling questions all revolve
around perceptions of tax fairness.. This book
demonstrates how a serious consideration of folk
justice can deepen our understanding of how tax systems
actually function and how they can perhaps be reformed.

The objective of this book is to suggest several
revisions in institutional structure, management
techniques and rewards, and a drastic change in how
hourly labor is compensated. The suggestions offered are
applicable to any economy where decisions have to be made
as to how to organize the factors of production most
efficiently. It is therefore essential reading for
policymakers, human resource management and accountant
management.

This book examines how multinational firms grew their
operations in China and how successful local firms
emerged from the restructuring process, as well the
competition between them, in the fierce marketplace of
China-s economic reform. While anecdotal evidence on this
topic is widespread, there exists no comprehensive
research. This book seeks to address this gap by rooting
its discussion in the author-s extensive and rigorous
statistical analyses and detailed case studies across
five industries: consumer products, beer, telecom,
automobile, and steel.

This book provides a brief overview of the recent trends
in innovations. Early inventions/innovations that began
in Asia (i.e., compass, paper, gunpowder and printing)
spread to the Atlantic (Europe and USA) by land and sea
routes. However, with population growth, economic
expansion, availability of skilled researchers and lower
cost of research in Asia Pacific, there has been a shift
in innovation activities in this region. There has been a
discernable trend of innovation (RandD) in countries like
Japan, Korea, China, India and Singapore. This book
attempts to create awareness of this trend and hopes to
motivate business leaders and policy makers to take
advantage of this shifting trend, as well as to encourage
more global collaboration in innovations to face societal
challenges in the 21st century.

The authors reveal the striking staying power of the
institutional status quo and test their innovative theory
against evidence on institutional choice in global
commerce from the nineteenth through the twenty-first
centuries. Cases range from the establishment in 1876 of
the first truly international system of commercial
dispute resolution, the Mixed Courts of Egypt, to the
founding and operation of the General Agreement on
Tariffs and Trade, the World Trade Organization, and the
International Accounting Standards Board. Analysts of
institutional choice henceforth must take seriously not
only the distinct demands of specific cooperation
dilemmas, but also the wide array of available
institutional choices.

Chris Reus-Smit has written a ground-breaking book. By
showing that, during the last five centuries,
revolutionary ideas on individual rights were at the
roots of the demand for sovereignty and de-legitimation
of empires, and therefore, also of the expansion of
international systems and the evolution of international
order, Reus-Smit’s theoretical and empirical tour de
force, more than most books in international relations,
reveals the social nature of international systems and
how international orders transform."

Exploring the social history of hospitals through the

examines how medical care was introduced, expanded, and
funded by the colonial state in north India. It argues
that, intent on limiting medical expenditure, the
colonial state left a legacy of poor medical provision,
regional disparities, neglect of rural patients, and over
reliance on the private and voluntary sectors all issues
with contemporary resonance in India.

This book does just that, examining the trade policy
decisions of two emerging power states, Brazil and India,
since 2001. In this timely work, Laura Carsten Mahrenbach
develops a broad-based analytical framework which
addresses trade policy within EP states, in their regions
and on the global level. The findings underline the
importance of examining domestic factors when trying to
understand strategic decisions by emerging powers. They
also have important implications for our understanding of
the role of emerging power states in global (trade)
governance.

local properties (the properties observed at a point on
the curve or surface) or global properties (the
properties of the object as a whole). Some of the more

A new breed of HR Professional is needed who can offer
the sort of effective people management that can change
the way organizations work. They will first have to
resolve the legacy left by an absence of professionalism
in people management amongst both operational managers
and the HR departments that serve them. Much of the
problems that currently undermine capitalism and
governance today can be traced back directly to
insufficient attention being paid to the professional
management of human capital. This text offers an objective
scale to gauge levels of professionalism that can be
applied to management in any sector. Paul Kearns has also
developed a clear 10-step guide for anyone looking to
develop their HR professionalism in a practical way.

of the four different types of business strategies that
many firms pursue and the strategic disciplines that
support them, this book can provide significant insight
and direction to managers at all levels within an

Contemporary perspectives on corporate marketing :

Corporate marketing and corporate communications are
topics that have grown in scholarly and practical
importance in these last decades. Fields such as
branding, marketing communications and public relations
have all contributed to this boost. Whilst there is a
large amount of literature on each of these disciplines,
there is little systematic development from the
perspective of corporate marketing and corporate
communication studies, although these two have the most
to contribute to how companies manage their brands, image
and corporate identities in the 21st Century. This book
seeks to redress this balance and provide insights, via
case studies or histories, on issues such as nation
branding, managing multiple corporate identities during
merger and acquisitions and establishing a company-s CSR
and green image.

Social Marketing involves the application of marketing
techniques (usually associated with promoting
consumption) to social ends. Beyond this simple
definition, social marketing offers an alternative to the
standard Western economic model of consumption at all
costs.This popular introductory textbook has been updated
to provide greater depth on marketing theory, more on
branding, co-creation of value, Community Based
Prevention Marketing (CBPM) and the vital role of
critical thinking. In addition, the communications
chapter is extended and radically updated to include much
more on digital media. The rise of corporate social
responsibility is also critically analysed.

Humanistic Marketing is a response to the currently
growing mega-trend call for rethinking marketing. The
book organizes current thinking around the problems of
marketing theory and practice as well as some possible
solutions and ways forward: both for theory and practice.
This volume was initiated by The Humanistic Management
Network to contribute knowledge and understanding to the
emerging humanistic business and management movement that
does not accept perpetual economic expansion as a
sustainably viable means of meeting individual and
collective needs in society and nature, and instead seeks
balance in place of excess. Humanistic Marketing
recognises the harm that comes with the unfettered desire
for more of more.

The idea of empire was created in ancient Rome and even
today the Roman empire offers a powerful image for
thinking about imperialism. Traces of its monuments and
literature can be found across Europe, the Near East, and
North Africa - and sometimes even further a field. This is
the story of how this mammoth empire was created, how it
was sustained in crisis, and how it shaped the world of
its rulers and subjects - a story spanning a millennium
and a half.

In this book veteran journalist William Chislett provides
much-needed political and historical context for Spain-s
current economic and political predicament. Chislett
recounts the country-s fascinating and often turbulent
history, beginning with the Muslim conquest in 711 and
ending with the nation-s deep economic crisis, sparked by
the spectacular collapse of its real estate and
construction sectors in 2010. He explains the country-s
transition from dictatorship to democracy and covers such
issues as the creation of a welfare state, the influx of
immigrants, internal strife from the separatist Catalan
region, the effects of stringent austerity measures, the
strengths and weaknesses of the economy, and how the
country can create a more sustainable economic model for
the future.
