Culture, Civilization, and Humanity $47.5 Part I of this volume, The Values of Progress, endeavours to prove the existence of three intellectual horizons: the horizon of cultures; above that the horizon of civilizations; and above both the horizon of humanity. This part gives solid evidence that “progress” is a product of the horizon of humanity. Part II comprises Tarek Heggy’s writings on the Egyptian mind. Part III is an attempt to diagnose the illnesses of contemporary Egyptian political and socio-economic actuality and prescribe two solutions: a liberal political system and a modern market economy driven by an advanced cadre that represents the best of modern management techniques. Part IV provides a full-scale criticism of the theory and practices and accurately predicted, in the 1970s, the collapse of the socialist system. |

Economic Development, Education and Transnational Corporations $158 Written by a very well-respected international scholar with special knowledge on Latin America, this book a useful contribution to the subject, helping readers to re-think about the role of TNCs in the different political and economic contexts of individual nations in the globalized market economy. Mark Hanson’s incisive new monograph compares and contrasts Mexico and South Korea to answer the wider question of why some Third World nations developed economically and educationally faster than others.Hanson shows that these differences are due to the manner and intensity in which these countries employed their educational, governmental and business institutions to acquire manufacturing knowledge from transnational corporations and how they used it to grow their own local industries. Whereas South Korea looked to foreign plants as educational systems and pursued with tenacity the new knowledge they possessed, Mexico viewed them as ‘cash cows’ that generated wages and reduced unemployment. Hanson argues that significant economic growth and improvements in education will only occur when driven by the needs of industrialization. This book will be of interest to policy makers and academics looking for ways to accelerate development rates in Third World countries, as well as students and researchers engaged with comparative international development, globalization and industrialization. |

Housing, Care and Inheritance $155 Housing, Care and Inheritance draws on the author’s long-standing research into housing issues surrounding the ageing society, a phenomenon which is now a concern in many mature economies. If an adult child provides care for their elderly parent, should that person be rewarded? If so, should they inherit their parent’s house or a larger share of the assets? The ‘generational contract’ is often influenced by cultural norms, family traditions, social policy and housing market, so it is negotiated differently in different societies and at different times. Such generational contract is however breaking down as a result of socio-economic and demographic changes.Drawn from the two-part study funded by the UK Economic & Social Research Council, Misa Izuhara explores the myth and the changing patterns of the particular exchange of long-term care and housing assets between older parents and their adult children in Britain and Japan. Highly international and comparative in perspectives, this study addresses important sociological as well as policy questions regarding intergenerational relations involving housing wealth, long-term care, and inheritance. |

Nation, State and the Industrial Revolution $135 The industrial revolution and the creation of the modern (national) state are two of the most important historical processes to have occurred in Europe during the 19th century. The state and other bodies of governance play an important role in the development of capitalist market societies since the 18th century. But modern market economies are to a large degree a product of the interplay between market and governance. Yet we are often told a strikingly different tale about the modern economy, at least how it ought to work and operate – as far as possible without public interference. Even more frequently we have been taught that the modern capitalist market economy is a product of an industrial revolution, originating with the UK in the middle of the 18th century propelled by laissez faire and the triumph of free markets which gradually liberated themselves from the grip of an old dirigiste state. This book argues that in order to get a better understanding of this period and the rise of modern industrial capitalism it is necessary to link the industrial revolution in its various forms to a political and institutional context of state-making and the creation of modern national states. Professor Magnusson demonstrates that a historical narrative which does not acknowledge the role of the state and public governance for the establishment of the modern capitalist market economy is fundamentally flawed. |

Refugees, Recent Migrants and Employment $113 Upheavals in vast areas of the world have led to a growing number of international refugees, a significant proportion of which have made their way to the West. At the same time, economic and social pressures, together with skills and labour shortages, have encouraged the migration for work of millions of workers worldwide. Although there has been a constant media focus on these two groups, little is known about their labour market experiences. This collection examines the problems faced by refugees and recent migrants in accessing employment as well as the policy frameworks that address the labour market rights of refugees and economic migrants. |

Socialist China, Capitalist China $160 China is currently encountering increasing social problems, together with the rise of mass discontent and public protest, despite having achieved enormous economic growth after nearly thirty years of market socialism and embracing globalization. The future of China thus depends not only on the economic progress the nation has achieved – and will achieve – but also on how the government addresses growing social tensions. Focusing on why social tensions have arisen despite economic prosperity and how the state is responding, this book presents rich, original data about many of the social challenges facing China, including rural-urban migration, unemployment, the health care crisis, the rise of religion, the desire for increased individualism, and new mass movements. It investigates governmental responses to deal with the problems including legal and political reforms and local governance innovations, throughout setting the discussion in the context of how far a traditionally ‘socialist’ nation can be integrated into global capitalism. Overall, the book provides a timely, up-to-date, and down-to-earth examination of and reflection on China’s continuing socio-economic and political transition. |

The State, Development and Identity in Multi-Ethnic Societies $160 The controversial work of Amy Chua argues that, as rapid modernization, industrialization, technological change and globalization bring about fundamental changes in national, ethnic and class identities, especially in developing countries, there is a danger that the laissez-faire capitalist system will cause serious racial conflagration, especially in societies where there is ethnic minority market dominance, combined with ethno-nationalist-type politicians who mobilize support from ethnic majority communities by drawing attention to inequalities in wealth distribution. This controversial work goes on to argue for an authoritarian political system, with curbs against the corporate expansion of enterprises owned by ethnic minorities, until parity in equity ownership among all communities is achieved. This book tests the assumptions behind these arguments, discussing ethnic communities, identity, economy, society and state, and the links between them, in a range of countries in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific, and diaspora communities of Asian peoples in the West. It demonstrates that identity transformation occurs as generations of minority communities succeed each other, that old discourses of fixed origins which are assumed to bind ethnic communities into cohesive wholes do not apply, that there are very extensive inter-linkages in the daily activities of people of different ethnic and religious backgrounds, that affirmative action-type policies along racial lines can undermine overall societal cohesion, and that there is no case for limiting democracy until economic equity is achieved. This is a rich, important book, with huge implications for economic development andfor states throughout the world as multi-ethnic societies world-wide become more extensive and more complicated. |

Unemployment, Inequality and Poverty in Urban China $175 Although the Chinese economy is growing at a very high rate, there are massive social dislocations arising as a result of economic restructuring. Though the scale of the problem is huge, very few studies have examined the changes in income inequality in the late 1990s due to a lack of data on household incomes. Based on extensive original research, this book redresses this imbalance, examining the issue of unemployment and the problems it has brought for the people of China. Investigating the market outcomes in post-reform urban China, the book focuses on the relationships between unemployment, inequality, and poverty. In addition, the authors provide an analysis on the emerging urban labour market and its stratified structure, job mobility, profit sharing, and the role of social capital. Empirical analysis is supported by rich data from nationally representative urban household and rural migrant surveys, providing the latest picture of the widening inequality in Chinese urban society. |

Work, Female Empowerment and Economic Development $160 Accumulation of assets to enable the diversification of activities has been established as crucial in helping the rural poor escape poverty. The empowerment of women has been identified as a way to overcome inefficiencies in the allocation of resources within the family and so improve agrarian households’ productivity. However, achieving diversification is not necessarily empowering for women and some initiatives may worsen their position.This book uses the information collected in original household surveys conducted in rural areas in four countries to investigate the links between women’s position in the household, diversification strategies, labour market participation and poverty reduction. The book centres on country-specific chapters that provide an in-depth focus on an issue of relevance to the location and that tease out the interplay between female empowerment and development in that context. In particular, the chapters examine:Landlessness in EthiopiaFeminization of the agricultural labour market in Andhra Pradesh, IndiaFemale labour supply and women’s power within the household in UgandaDisadvantages faced by female-headed households in ZimbabweThe analysis calls for caution in assuming that labour market expansion necessarily acts to empower women and emphasizes the role female access to assets can have in facilitating diversification and escaping poverty. It will appeal to all those studying development economics, with particular interest in areas such as diversification,poverty and female empowerment. |

$$$ The Entrepreneur Manager $27.66 Too often business owners experience much difficulty in transitioning from founding entrepreneurs to working business managers. They may possess extensive knowledge and skills in their industry and field, yet have little awareness of the “business of the business”. The everyday, mundane operational, monitoring, and human relations skills are not what inspired and motivated them to launch their dream enterprise. But the “devil is in the details” and these management necessities are what will keep the venture afloat and prospering. Many businesses born of a feasible idea and a good market opportunity do not survive the start-up launch and the subsequent entrepreneurial obstacles which never seem to go away. They often remain in such a survival mode until failure. No matter if they endure three, five, or ten years, without a successful transition from entrepreneur to manager, the ten years or so of experience is really only one year experience ten times over. The Entrepreneur Manager – The Business Man’s Business Plan will assist with this transition and the management functions of planning, organizing, leading, and controlling; all essential to manage a growing, profitable business. It is the entrepreneur manager’s business plan and hands-on tool. |

$12 Million Stuffed Shark: The Curious Economics of Contemporary Art $26 Why would a smart New York investment banker pay $12 million for the decaying, stuffed carcass of a shark? By what alchemy does Jackson Pollock’s drip painting No. 5, 1948 sell for $140 million? Intriguing and entertaining, The $12 Million Stuffed Shark is a Freakonomics approach to the economics and psychology of the contemporary art world. Why were record prices achieved at auction for works by 131 contemporary artists in 2006 alone, with astonishing new heights reached in 2007? Don Thompson explores the money, lust, and self-aggrandizement of the art world in an attempt to determine what makes a particular work valuable while others are ignored.This book is the first to look at the economics and the marketing strategies that enable the modern art market to generate such astronomical prices. Drawing on interviews with both past and present executives of auction houses and art dealerships, artists, and the buyers who move the market, Thompson launches the reader on a journey of discovery through the peculiar world of modern art. Surprising, passionate, gossipy, revelatory, The $12 Million Stuffed Shark reveals a great deal that even experienced auction purchasers do not know. |

$20 Per Gallon: How the Inevitable Rise in the Price of Gasoline Will Change Our Lives for the Better $9.99 Imagine an everyday world in which the price of gasoline (and oil) continues to go up, and up, and up. Think about the immediate impact that would have on our lives. Of course, everybody already knows how about gasoline has affected our driving habits. People can’t wait to junk their gas-guzzling SUVs for a new Prius. But there are more, not-so-obvious changes on the horizon that Chris Steiner tracks brilliantly in this provocative work. Consider the following societal changes: people who own homes in far-off suburbs will soon realize that there’s no longer any market for their houses (reason: nobody wants to live too far away because it’s too expensive to commute to work). Telecommuting will begin to expand rapidly. Trains will become the mode of national transportation (as it used to be) as the price of flying becomes prohibitive. Families will begin to migrate southward as the price of heating northern homes in the winter is too pricey. Cheap everyday items that are… |

$20 per Gallon: How the Inevitable Rise in the Price of Gasoline Will Change Our Lives for the Better $6.88 Imagine an everyday world in which the price of gasoline (and oil) continues to go up, and up, and up. Think about the immediate impact that would have on our lives.Of course, everybody already knows how about gasoline has affected our driving habits. People can’t wait to junk their gas-guzzling SUVs for a new Prius. But there are more, not-so-obvious changes on the horizon that Chris Steiner tracks brilliantly in this provocative work.Consider the following societal changes: people who own homes in far-off suburbs will soon realize that there’s no longer any market for their houses (reason: nobody wants to live too far away because it’s too expensive to commute to work). Telecommuting will begin to expand rapidly. Trains will become the mode of national transportation (as it used to be) as the price of flying becomes prohibitive. Families will begin to migrate southward as the price of heating northern homes in the winter is too pricey. Cheap everyday items that are comprised of plastic will go away because of the rising price to produce them (plastic is derived from oil). And this is just the beginning of a huge and overwhelming domino effect that our way of life will undergo in the years to come.Steiner, an engineer by training before turning to journalism, sees how this simple but constant rise in oil and gas prices will totally re-structure our lifestyle. But what may be surprising to readers is that all of these changes may not be negative – but actually will usher in some new and very promising aspects of our society. Steiner will probe how the liberation of technology and innovation, triggered by climbing gas prices, will change our lives. The book may start as an alarmist’s exercise…. but don’t be misled. The future will be exhilarating. |

But there are more, not-so-obvious changes on the horizon that Chris Steiner tracks brilliantly in this provocative work.Consider the following societal changes: people who own homes in far-off suburbs will soon realize that there’s no longer any market for their houses (reason: nobody wants to live too far away because it’s too expensive to commute to work). Telecommuting will begin to expand rapidly. Trains will become the mode of national transportation (as it used to be) as the price of flying becomes prohibitive. Families will begin to migrate southward as the price of heating northern homes in the winter is too pricey. Cheap everyday items that are comprised of plastic will go away because of the rising price to produce them (plastic is derived from oil). And this is just the beginning of a huge and overwhelming domino effect that our way of life will undergo in the years to come.Steiner, an engineer by training before turning to journalism, sees how this simple but constant rise in oil and gas prices will totally re-structure our lifestyle. But what may be surprising to readers is that all of these changes may not be negative – but actually will usher in some new and very promising aspects of our society. Steiner will probe how the liberation of technology and innovation, triggered by climbing gas prices, will change our lives. The book may start as an alarmist’s exercise…. but don’t be misled. The future will be exhilarating. |

”A sense of taste with a sense of place”: Coffee identities across the United States and El Salvador. $49.99 Salvadoran exports of specialty grade coffee increased from 8% to 30% of total coffee exports between 2002 and 2006 with the United States purchasing the lion’s share (Consejo Salvadoreno del Cafe 2007). Specialty coffee, a product that differentiates itself in the market in terms of quality and the emphasis placed on the singularity and traceability of its origins, has altered the ways in which producers and consumers of coffee identify themselves in relation to one another. “Taste” and “place” become tropes that allow us to understand the trajectory of coffee culture in time and space where culture is a “…historical product and historical force—shaped and shaping, socially constituted and socially constitutive” (Roseberry 1989:53). Coffee allows us to explore the construction of individual and collective identities amidst diverse experiences with capitalism and to consider what it means to be a producer and a consumer of commodities in a global context. |

”Between the hawk and the buzzard”: The Civil War in Henderson and Daviess counties, Kentucky. $49.99 Despite Kentucky’s crucial importance to both the Union and the Confederacy during the Civil War, the state has hardly been touched as an area of scholarly study. While the lack of historical research at the state level is notable, there is an almost complete and total absence of scholarly studies at the local level during the Civil War era. This is especially true concerning the counties of Henderson and Daviess. In many ways these two counties were indicative of many counties in the Green River valley, of which both Henderson and Daviess counties are a part. Both produced copious amounts of tobacco and possessed numerous slaves. Both were closely tied into the economic system of the Ohio River valley and the Market and Transportation Revolutions of the mid-nineteenth century. And both, much like the rest of the Green River country, were strong-Whig counties, as well as being pro-Union at the outset of the war. Additionally, during the Civil War, these two counties experienced the myriad of problems that not only the people of the Green River valley were beset with, but that many Kentuckians experienced. They dealt with the presence of regular Union and Confederate forces in 1861 and 1862. They also dealt with terrifying and destructive outbreaks of irregular war during the conflict, as well abusive actions by the federal government. The citizens of Henderson and Daviess counties also watched helplessly as the promises that the Republican controlled government made early in the war were ignored and, as the war dragged on and the hopes of a quick and easy victory were dashed, harsher more pro-abolitionist polices emerged. Kentuckians saw the Emancipation Proclamation and the recruitment of African Americans into the Union army as the culmination of perceived lies and betrayal that the federal government inflicted upon them, a loyal southern state. Thus, an examination of these two county’s’ experiences is revealing not only of life in the lower Green River valley, |

”Great anarch’s ancient reign restor’d:” Menippean satire and the politics of knowledge in the British Enlightenment. $49.99 At the heart of critical controversies over Menippean satire and the application of the label to the major satires of the early eighteenth century, especially those of Jonathan Swift, is the radical disjunction between claims of its subversive tendencies and the deeply entrenched conservatism of its producers. This paradox is resolved when it is recognized that although Menippean satire takes a deeply skeptical, even nihilistic, attitude toward knowledge, its epistemological uncertainty ultimately makes necessary custom and tradition. These satires challenge the emerging ideologies of market capitalism, bourgeois aesthetics, secularism, and materialist science—the modernity disparagingly portrayed in A Tale of a Tub as universal madness. Yet at the same time, these satires push in extreme directions, undermining a great deal of received knowledge, and challenging, as do other discourses of the period, superstition, scholasticism, dogmatism, and zealotry. As such, they are not merely reactionary texts, but are also instrumental in the intellectual developments of the broader Enlightenment.;Chapter one defines Menippean satire as an ironic, fictional elaboration of systems of thought within a parodic, mixed-genre form that questions systems of knowledge by drawing attention to the discursive nature of ideas. Chapter two reorients discussions of Menippean satire toward the epistemological crisis that, in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, is its immediate context. I associate many of the rhetorical strategies of Menippean satire with Pyrrhonism, a radical skepticism that, although destructive of dogmatic and received knowledge, finally makes necessary some form of faith, even if only in habit and common life. Chapter three deviates from other recent monographs on Menippean satire by situating the form within the class antagonisms of the period, insisting that Menippean satire must be historicized. Chapter four argues that Gulliver’s Travels and Blazing |

”The balance-sheet of nature”: Calculating the New York farm, 1820–1860. $49.99 To understand how nineteenth-century people understood the natural world, historians of science must investigate their interactions with the living systems that surrounded most of them—to examine, that is, their changing knowledge of their farms. This dissertation focuses on the period between 1820 and 1860, when the developing market economy drastically altered relations between Americans and their farms. With its rapidly shifting, highly productive agriculture and its location as a transport and communication hub, New York State became a major center of these agricultural changes. At the same time, New York’s vibrant agricultural societies and agricultural journals established a diverse community devoted to “agricultural improvement.” Bringing together a variety of discourses, practices, and people, improvement became a central knowledge-making institution of the antebellum period, one encompassing many forms of expertise: chemistry, geology, pomology, botany, meteorology, animal and vegetable physiology, mechanics, architecture, animal-judging, accounting, and mensuration. This dissertation analyzes the diaries and print productions of New York’s “improving” farmers and explores the ways that new market values changed how they understood and interacted with agricultural landscapes. By developing social standards for the reliable propagation of productive organisms like fruit trees, by identifying regions “adapted” to specific forms of production, and by rendering nutritional relationships on the farm as transactions using agricultural chemistry, they worked to turn their landscape into a rationalized site of production. In following improvers, the dissertation thus illuminates the spread of market-centered ways of accounting for nature, and works to integrate environmental history and the history of science. |

‘Scuse Me while I Whip This Out: Reflections on Country Singers, Presidents, and Other Troublemakers $13.95 A collection of twisted takes on what it is to be and live in the world of Kinky.’Scuse Me While I Whip This Out is a collection of twisted takes on life by Kinky Friedman. As always, the Kinkster’s work is witty, wise and wonderful, and reads as if it was written by a slightly ill, modern-day Mark Twain.

Others have appreared in his vastly successful column in the award-winning Texas Monthly magazine. As hilarious and irreverent as David Sedaris, as dark and passionately twisted as George Carlin- and illustrated by the hermetic genius John Callahan-’Scuse Me While I Whip This Out is destined to be one of the most side-splitting, thought-provoking books on the market today. |

‘Tickets, Please!’ $0.99 There is in the North a single-line system of tramcars which boldly leaves the county town and plunges off into the black, industrial countryside, up hill and down dale, through the long, ugly villages of workmen’s houses, over canals and railways, past churches perched high and nobly over the smoke and shadows, through dark, grimy, cold little market-places, tilting away in a rush past cinemas and shops down to the hollow where the collieries are, then up again, past a little rural church under the ash-trees, on in a bolt to the terminus, the last little ugly place of industry, the cold little town that shivers on the edge of the wild, gloomy country beyond. There the blue and creamy coloured tramcar seems to pause and purr with curious satisfaction. But in a few minutes-the clock on the turret of the Co-operative Wholesale Society’s shops gives the time-away it starts once more on the adventure. |

(1) Hydrocortisone permeation study using a synthetic membrane, a mouse skin and an Epiderm(TM) cultured skin, (2) Preparation of orally disintegrating tablet of melatonin and acetaminophen, (3) Pharmacokinetics of terbinafine in penguins. $49.99 The first project of this thesis is an in vitro study. This study was performed with 8 hydrocortisone topical products on the market for the purpose of comparing one Tec Lab product, a Corticool gel, to the other seven common products on the market. The permeation of these products was tested with three types of membranes: a synthetic membrane, a mouse skin, and an Epiderm(TM) using a Franz Cell apparatus. The synthetic membrane seemed to over-estimate the hydrocortisone permeation through the skin. Mouse skin has a higher permeation compared to human cultured skin, Epiderm(TM). Corticool gel (1% hydrocortisone), which has a higher hydrocortisone solubility compared to other creams and lotions, showed a significantly higher drug diffusion rate through all of the three membranes. The Corticool gel exhibited better hydrocortisone permeation than the Prescription hydrocortisone cream 2.5%. Cortizone-10 ointment (1% hydrocortisone) showed a very low hydrocortisone permeation through all of the three membranes. It is predicted that the same comparative behavior would be observed in vivo on applying these formulations. Corticool gel is suggested to be used for fast action treatment.;The second project related to a preparation of orally disintegrating tablets of melatonin and orally disintegrating tablets containing sustained-release beads of acetaminophen. A combination of superdisintegrants, amino acids, effervescent materials, and sweeteners was placed into a melatonin tablet and then compressed into a normal-shaped tablet. The melatonin tablet exhibited a short disintegration time in water, had adequate hardness, and passed the friability test. This tablet also tasted good and could be used for children and vulnerable subjects having difficulty in swallowing.;The acetaminophen tablet combines two desirable properties: fast disintegration and sustained release of the drug. Acetaminophen sustained-release beads were added inside the tablet. The tablet disintegrated very |

It was designed with a possible military need in mind for a cartridge for both the anti-personnel, anti-sniper and anti-materiel role with a (supersonic) precision range of 2,187 yards (2,000 m). It is hoped it will fill in a supposed market niche as an intermediate between the existing military long-range cartridges .338 Lapua Magnum and the .50 BMG. |
