On the basis of this experience and on the basis of extensive research, an...

Reviewing 40 years of hard, empirical data, from China and India to Chile and Iraq, the authors show that poor democracies beat poor autocracies in every economic measure.

'This valuable and timely volume obliterates the myth beloved of dictators that democracy is somehow the enemy of development rather than an essential ally. Here is a treasury of evidence that freedom is not only right - it works.' - Madeline Albright, former US Secretary of State For decades, policies pursued by the US and other industrialized nations towards the developing world have been based on a dirty little secret among policy experts: democracy and development don't mix. Turning this long-held view on its head, The Democracy Advantage makes a bold case that they do. In this timely,...

Intersections of Harm: Narratives of Latina Deviance and Defiance
ISBN: 9780813570372 / Angielski / Twarda / 2015 / 254 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In this innovative new study, Laura Halperin examines literary representations of harm inflicted on Latinas' minds and bodies, and on the places Latinas inhabit, but she also explores how hope can be found amid so much harm. Analyzing contemporary memoirs and novels by Irene Vilar, Loida Maritza Perez, Ana Castillo, Cristina Garcia, and Julia Alvarez, she argues that the individual harm experienced by Latinas needs to be understood in relation to the collective histories of aggression against their communities. Intersections of Harm is more than just a nuanced examination of the...

Perceived Stressors by High-Risk Pregnant Women on Bed Rest
ISBN: 9783639285413 / Angielski / Miękka / 2010 / 168 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 10-14 dni roboczych. The rapid progress of medicine has promoted the ability to deal with high-risk pregnancies.

This approach made it possible to identify whether there are...

War and Social Change in Modern Europe: The Great Transformation Revisited
ISBN: 9780521818063 / Angielski / Twarda / 2003 / 538 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. Sandra Halperin traces the persistence of traditional class structures in the course of the development of industrial capitalism in Europe and the way the structures influenced state behavior and generated conflict. Halperin focuses on the interrelationship of social forces, industrial expansion, and conflict in Europe between 1789 and 1944 (in part through a critique of Karl Polanyi's The Great Transformation (1944)). Her account of the period challenges not only Polanyi's analysis, but a variety of influential perspectives on nationalism, development, conflict, international systems change,...

Falling Through the Music
ISBN: 9780268030810 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 76 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In "Falling Through the Music", his fifth major book of poetry, Mark Halperin gives us consolation, guidance, and companionship while delivering an accomplished meditation on the first real glimpses of the limits on a life. Displaying an agility of formal invention - he moves easily from a Whitmanesque and witty litany to rhymed quatrains - Halperin deftly melds technique to theme. As in "Someone Pausing," he is able to place us in the mind of someone - any one of us - who has stood on an island in the street, fully attentive and present, knowing nothing stays, not even the observer.

ISBN: 9781107521612 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 268 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. The nation-state is a fairly recent historical phenomenon. Human history over the past two to four millennia has been dominated by empires, and the legacies of these empires continues to shape the contemporary world in ways that are not always recognised or fully understood. Much research and writing about European colonial empires has focused on relations between them and their colonies. This book examines the phenomenon of empire from a different perspective. It explores the imprint that imperial institutions, organisational principles, practices, and logics have left on the modern world....

Women in Israel: A State of Their Own
ISBN: 9780812237528 / Angielski / Twarda / 2004 / 363 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Offering a distinctive and subtle analysis of tensions between government policies on religious matters and feminism, Halperin-Kaddari shows how women in Israel indeed have a state of their own--in the sense not of liberating refuge but of unfair marginalization. When Israel declared its independence in 1948, it vowed to ensure equality for all citizens, regardless of religion, race, or gender. History shows, however, that this promise has been broken in the case of women, who generally live under circumstances significantly worse than those of men. Women in Israel is the first comprehensive...

In May 1798, after Congress released the XYZ Affair dispatches to the public, a raucous crowd took to the streets of Philadelphia. Some gathered to pledge their support for the government of President John Adams, others to express their disdain for his policies. Violence, both physical and political, threatened the safety of the city and the Union itself. To combat the chaos and protect the nation from both external and internal threats, the Federalists swiftly enacted the Alien and Sedition Acts. Oppressive pieces of legislation aimed at separating so-called genuine patriots from objects...
