Feminists, Islam, and Nation
Princeton University Press | 1994-11-14 | ISBN: 069103706X | 368 pages
| PDF | 3 MB
The emergence and evolution of Egyptian feminism is an integral, but
previously untold, part of the history of modern Egypt. Drawing upon a
wide range of women’s sources–memoirs, letters, essays, journalistic
articles, fiction, treatises, and extensive oral histories–Margot
Badran shows how Egyptian women assumed agency and in so doing
subverted and refigured the conventional patriarchal order. Unsettling
a common claim that “feminism is Western” and dismantling the alleged
opposition between feminism and Islam, the book demonstrates how the
Egyptian feminist movement in the first half of this century both
advanced the nationalist cause and worked within the parameters of Islam.

Security Sector Reform And Post-Conflict Peacebuilding
United Nations University Press| ISBN: 9280811096 | 2006-01-27 | PDF |
348 pages | 1.85 Mb
Military and police forces play a crucial role in the long-term
success of political, economic and cultural rebuilding efforts in
post-conflict societies. Yet, while charged with the long-term task of
providing a security environment conducive to rebuilding war-torn
societies, internal security structures tend to lack civilian and
democratic control, internal cohesion and effectiveness, and public
credibility. They must be placed under democratic control and
restructured and retrained to become an asset, not a liability, in the
long-term peace-building process. External actors from other nations,
regional organizations and the United Nations can be of assistance in
this process, by creating a basic security environment, preventing
remnants of armed groups from spoiling the fragile peace-building process.

Toleration
Princeton Univ Pr | 1996-02-05 | ISBN: 069104371X | 256 pages | PDF |
7,4 MB
If we are to understand the concept of toleration in terms of everyday
life, we must address a key philosophical and political tension: the
call for restraint when encountering apparently wrong beliefs and
actions versus the good reasons for interfering with the lives of the
subjects of these beliefs and actions. This collection contains
original contributions to the ongoing debate on the nature of
toleration, including its definition, historical development,
justification, and limits. In exploring the issues surrounding
toleration, the essays address a variety of provocative questions.
Throughout, the contributors point to the inherent indeterminacy of
the concept and to the difficulty in locating it between intolerant
absolutism and skeptical pluralism. Religion, sex, speech, and
education are major areas requiring toleration in liberal societies.
By applying theoretical analysis, these essays show the differences in
the argument for toleration and its scope in each of these realms. The
contributors include Joshua Cohen, George Fletcher, Gordon Graham,
Alon Harel, Moshe Halbertal, Barbara Herman, John Horton, Will
Kymlicka, Avishai Margalit, David Richards, Thomas Scanlon, and
Bernard Williams. “When subtle thinkers probe tolerance with the
acuity of this volume’s contributors, we see both how far the notion
stretches, and the profound challenges it poses to our habits of
thinking.” –The Philadelphia Inquirer

Wiley-Blackwell | 2002-05-06 | ISBN: 0631229612 | 304 pages | PDF | 1,2 MB
Comparative Economic Systems: Culture, Wealth and Power in the 21st
Century explains how culture, in various guises, modifies the standard
rules of economic engagement, creating systems that differ markedly
from those predicted by the theory of general market competition. This
analysis is grounded in established principles, but also assumes that
individual utility seeking may be culturally determined, that
political goals may take precedence over public well being, and that
business misconduct may be socially detrimental.

Clifford R. Backman “The Worlds of Medieval Europe”
Oxford University Press, USA | 2002-08-22 | ISBN: 0195121686 | 478
pages | PDF | 7,8 MB
The Worlds of Medieval Europe updates and revises traditional textbook
representations of the Middle Ages by balancing the conventional focus
on political affairs, especially those of northern Europe, with
equally detailed attention to medieval society as it developed in the
Mediterranean. The result is a nuanced portrayal of a multifarious
western world that was sharply divided between its northern and
southern aspects. By also integrating the histories of the Islamic and
Byzantine world into the main narrative, the text brings new life to
the continuum of interaction–social, cultural, and intellectual, as
well as commercial–that existed among all three societies. In
addition, it describes ways in which the medieval Latin West attempted
to understand the unified and rational structure of the human cosmos,
which they believed existed beneath the observable diversity and
disorder of the world. This effort to re-create a human ordering of
“unity through diversity” provides an essential key to understanding
medieval Europe and the ways in which it regarded and reacted to the
worlds around it. The Worlds of Medieval Europe is an ideal text for
undergraduate courses in medieval history, Western civilization, the
history of Christianity, and Muslim-Christian relations. It also
serves as an excellent supplement for courses on the history of a
specific country in the medieval period, the history of medieval art,
or the history of the European economy.

Iran, Hizbullah, Hamas and the Global Jihad: A New Conflict Paradigm
for the West
Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs | ISBN 9652180564 | 2007-01-18 |
PDF | 88 pages | 1.6 MB
The Middle East has undergone revolutionary changes in the last few
years. For most of the 1990s it was the conventional wisdom that the
key to regional stability was to be found in the resolution of the
Arab-Israeli conflict and, as a result, Western diplomatic energies
were primarily focused on that area. Now radical Islam is gaining
strength among the Palestinians with the victory of Hamas in the 2006
parliamentary elections of the Palestinian Authority. Hamas and its
allies completely reject a negotiated solution to the Arab-Israeli
conflict and align themselves with jihadi organizations across the
region. As a result, the Arab-Israeli conflict has become increasingly
a part of the much larger struggle between radical Islam and the West.
At the same time, Iran is more determined than ever to achieve
regional hegemony. Indeed, the Sunni-Shiite rivalry is likely to
emerge as the central axis of conflict in the Middle East in the years
to come. Given this new strategic context, the U.S. and its Western
allies have enormous leverage with the threatened Sunni Arab states.
As a consequence, the West does not have to pay for their cooperation
in Israeli coin. The book includes top quality pictures and maps

Frederick Quinn, “The Sum of All Heresies: The Image of Islam in
Western Thought”
Oxford University Press (2008) | English | ISBN: 019532563X | 235
pages | PDF | 2.39 MB
Current global tensions and the spread of terrorism have resurrected
in the West a largely negative perception of Islamic society, an ill
will fueled by centuries of conflict and prejudice. Shedding light on
the history behind these hostile feelings, Frederick Quinn’s timely
volume traces the Western image of Islam from its earliest days to
recent times.
Quinn establishes four basic themes around which the image of Islam
gravitates throughout history: the Prophet as Antichrist, heretic, and
Satan; the Prophet as Fallen Christian, corrupted monk, or Arab
Lucifer; the prophet as sexual deviant, polygamist, and charlatan, and
the Prophet as Wise Easterner, Holy Person, and dispenser of wisdom. A
feature of the book is a strong portrayal of Islam in literature, art,
music, and popular culture, drawing on such sources as Cervantes’s Don
Quixote; the Orientalism of numerous visual artists; the classical
music of Monteverdi and Mozart; and more recent cultural
manifestations, such as music hall artists like Peter Dawson and Edith
Piaf; and stage or silver screen representations like The Garden of
Allah, The Sheik, Aladdin, and The Battle of Algiers. Quinn argues
that an outpouring of positive information on basically every aspect
of Islamic life has yet to vanquish the hostile and malformed ideas
from the past. Conflict, mistrus misunderstanding characterize the
Muslim-Christian encounter, and growing examples of cooperation are
often overshadowed by anger and suspicion. In this important book,
Quinn highlights long-standing historical prejudices but also
introduces the reader to some of the landmark voices in history that
have worked toward a greater understanding of Islam.

Dictionary of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: Culture, History and
Politics
by Claude Faure
MacMillan Reference Books | ISBN 0028659775 | 2004 | PDF | 8 MB | 511
pages, two-volume set
The often-violent conflict between the state of Israel and the
displaced Palestinian people occupies newspaper headlines and
television news every day. Despite such coverage, many people still
understand very little about the cause of this all but undeclared war.
Untenable promises of former colonizers, access to water, religious
and cultural traditions as entwined as they are distinct have all
contributed to what is arguably the greatest global problem of our time.
* The Dictionary of the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict covers the
history of the conflict, going back to the birth of Zionism at the end
of the 19th century.
* The two-volume set covers five Arab-Israeli wars, and provides
biographies of political personnel in Syria, Egypt, Iraq, Lebanon,
Jordan and the occupied territories.
* The Dictionary provides clear definitions and comprehensive
explanations of the elements at play — history, geography, religion,
demographics and more — and supports the acquisition of knowledge
about this topic, not just dissemination of information.

The potential for conflict exists in every interaction. But when one

practical guide, author Gini Graham Scott shows readers how to
identify the reason for the conflict, recognize and control the
emotional factors, and find the best solution. Disagreements,
Disputes, and All-Out War offers a simple but proven system for
resolving conflicts resulting from:
* poor communication and misunderstandings
* different agendas, interests, and values
* political power struggles
* incorrect assumptions about others’ motives and actions
* difficult people
Written in an accessible, conversational style, packed with real-life
examples, and including simple exercises and tools to help assess
conflict situations, this indispensable guide shows readers how to
handle whatever life throws at them.

The Way of Conflict: Elemental Wisdom for Resolving Disputes and
Transcending Differences
New World Library | 224 Pages | ISBN 1577314492 | 2004 | CHM | 3.35 MB
The Way of Conflict teaches strategies for using time-tested knowledge
and modern techniques to confidently engage in any dispute and reach a
balanced resolution. The book integrates the wealth of conflict skills
found throughout the world’s major religious and indigenous traditions
with the latest scientific systems and conflict resolution theory.
Using the cross-cultural metaphor of the four natural elements -
earth, water, fire, and air – it identifies innate conflicts in
personalities and offers productive paths through the chaos of
conflict. Combining her extensive experience as a licensed mediator
and corporate trainer with insight gained from years of spiritual
study, Deidre Combs uses assessment tests, anecdotes from indigenous
and religious traditions, and illustrative folktales to show how to
quickly assess a conflict and implement an appropriate resolution
strategy. The Way of Conflict helps people overcome the sense of
hopelessness they feel when facing personal, national, or
international conflicts, and can help improve relationships and
decrease levels of stress and frustration.

Reshaping the Future: Education and Post-Conflict Reconstruction
World Bank | ISBN: 0821359592 | 2005 | 120 pages | PDF | 0.7 MB
The aim of Reshaping the Future is to draw international attention to
the key role that education can play in both preventing conflict and
in reconstructing post-conflict societies. The author also hopes to
alert developing countries and donors alike to the devastating
consequences of conflict on a country’s education systems and
outcomes, as well to emphasize the importance of maximizing the
opportunities to reform education systems presented by a
reconstruction setting, adopting a long-term development perspective,
and emphasizing equity and quality in the delivery of education services.
Every education system has the potential to exacerbate the conditions
that contribute to violent conflict. Based on this notion, the author
argues that education warrants high priority in both humanitarian
response and post-conflict reconstruction. The central message of this
book is that education plays key role in both conflict prevention and
in the reconstruction of post-conflict societies. It highlights
significant findings on education and post-conflict reconstruction
drawn from thorough research and literature review, a survey and
database of key indicators for 52 conflict-affected countries, and a
review of 12 country studies.

“Brands of Faith: Marketing Religion in a Commercial Age” (Religion,
Media and Culture)
by Mara Einstein
Routledge (2007) | English | ISBN: 0203938879 | 259 pages | PDF | 4.10 MB
In a society overrun by commercial clutter, religion has become yet
another product sold in the consumer marketplace, and faiths of all
kinds must compete with a myriad of more entertaining and more
convenient leisure activities. Brands of Faith argues that in order to
compete effectively, faiths have had to become brands – easily
recognizable symbols and spokespeople with whom religious prospects
can make immediate connections.
Mara Einstein shows how religious branding has expanded over the past
twenty years to create a blended world of commerce and faith, where
the sacred becomes secular and the secular sacred. In a series of
fascinating case studies of faith brands, she explores the
significance of branded church courses, such as Alpha and The Purpose
Driven Life, mega-churches, and the popularity of the televangelist
Joel Olsteen and television presenter Oprah Winfrey, as well as the
rise of Kaballah. She asks what the consequences of this religious
marketing will be, and outlines the possible results of religious
commercialism – good and bad. Repackaging religion – updating music,
creating teen-targeted bibles – is justifiable and necessary. However,
when the content becomes obscured, religion may lose its unique
selling proposition – the very ability to raise us above the market.

“Breeding Bin Ladens: America, Islam, and the Future of Europe”
by Zachary Shore
Johns Hopkins University Press (2006) | English | ISBN: 0801885051 |
244 pages | PDF | 1.18 MB
While American leaders wage war on extremists in the Middle East, they
are dangerously detached from a potentially greater threat closer to
home. In Breeding Bin Ladens, Zachary Shore asserts that the growing
ambivalence of Europe’s Muslims poses risks to national identities,
international security, and the transatlantic alliance. Europe’s
failure to integrate its Muslim millions, combined with America’s
battered image in the Muslim world, have left too many Western Muslims
easy prey for violent dogmas. Until America and Europe adopt new
strategies, Shore argues, Europe will increasingly become the
incubation ground for breeding new Bin Ladens. The U.S. continues to
spend billions of dollars and lose thousands of its young men and
women to combat Islamic extremists, a group estimated to be as small
as fifty thousand. What Western leaders have not done, says Shore, is
seek to understand the millions of moderate Muslims who live
peacefully in the United States and Europe. Many in this
extraordinarily diverse group are deeply ambivalent toward perceived
Western values.
While they may admire America’s economic or technological might, many
are appalled by its crass consumerism, sexualization of women, lack of
social justice, and putative hypocritical foreign policies. Shore
offers a deeply nuanced and hopeful consideration of Islam’s future in
the West. Cautioning Western leaders against an anti-terrorist
tunnel-vision that could ultimately backfire, Shore proposes bold,
creative, and controversial solutions for attracting the hearts and
minds of moderate Muslims living in the West.

Lectures on Macroeconomics”
by Olivier Jean Blanchard, Stanley Fischer
The MIT Press | 1989-03-21 | ISBN: 0262022834 | 664 pages | PDF | 23,8 Mb
Lectures on Macroeconomics provides the first comprehensive
description and evaluation of macroeconomic theory in many years.
While the authors’ perspective is broad, they clearly state their
assessment of what is important and what is not as they present the
essence of macroeconomic theory today.
The main purpose of Lectures on Macroeconomics is to characterize and
explain fluctuations in output, unemployment and movement in prices.
The most important fact of modern economic history is persistent long
term growth, but as the book makes clear, this growth is far from
steady. The authors analyze and explore these fluctuations.
Topics include consumption and investment; the Overlapping Generations
Model; money; multiple equilibria, bubbles, and stability; the role of
nominal rigidities; competitive equilibrium business cycles, nominal
rigidities and economic fluctuations, goods, labor and credit markets;
and monetary and fiscal policy issues. Each of chapters 2 through 9
discusses models appropriate to the topic. Chapter 10 then draws on
the previous chapters, asks which models are the workhorses of
macroeconomics, and sets the models out in convenient form. A
concluding chapter analyzes the goals of economic policy, monetary
policy, fiscal policy, and dynamic inconsistency.
Written as a text for graduate students with some background in
macroeconomics, statistics, and econometrics, Lectures on
Macroeconomics also presents topics in a self contained way that makes
it a suitable reference for professional economists.

“Inflation Targeting, Debt, and the Brazilian Experience, 1999 to 2003 “
by Francesco Giavazzi , Ilan Goldfajn , and Santiago Herrera
The MIT Press | 2005 | ISBN: 0262072599 | 325 pages | PDF | 1.55 Mb
Inflation targeting — when central bank policies set specific
inflation rate objectives — is widely used by both developed and
developing countries around the world (although not by the United
States or the European Central Bank). This collection of original
essays looks at how Brazil’s policy of inflation targeting, coupled
with a floating exchange rate, survived a series of severe economic
shocks and examines the policy lessons that can be drawn from Brazil’s
experience.After a successful start in early 1999, Brazil’s policy
regime had to manage mounting difficulties, including a sudden
reversal of capital flows and its effects on the exchange rate and
public debt, the contagion of Argentina’s severe economic problems, a
domestic energy crisis, and the political uncertainty of the 2002
presidential campaign. The contributors, prominent Brazilian and
international economists, draw important lessons from Brazil’s
experience, including the necessity of accompanying monetary policy
with fiscal improvement, the trade-offs involved in dollar-linked
debt, the importance of fiscal institutions in an emerging market
economy, and the importance of keeping inflation under control.

“Market, Class, and Employment”
by Patrick McGovern, Stephen Hill, Colin Mills, and Michael White
Oxford University Press, USA | 2008-01-11 | ISBN: 0199213372 | 256
pages | PDF | 1,1 Mb
Much of the received wisdom about the world of work emphasizes the
marketization of the employment relationship; the decline of
class-based forms of inequality, and the individualization of
employment relations. Non-standard forms of employment, the delayering
of organizational hierarchies, and the use of individual
performance-based payment systems are all held up as examples of a new
neo-liberal order in which employers and employees no longer feel a
sense of obligation to each other. Drawing on a range of employee and
employer surveys, including the authors own Working in Britain 2000
survey, this ambitious study presents a comprehensive examination of
the conditions, attitudes, and experiences of British employees from
the mid-1980s to the early years of this century. The authors’
analyses provides a compelling critique of the received wisdom, while
also providing an original, alternative account of recent developments
in work and labour markets. Along the way, the book covers such
topical issues as the changing nature of trade union membership, the
consequences of Britain’s ‘long hours’ culture’, and the apparent
inability of women to ask for pay rises. Significantly, the authors
seek to reposition debates about the future of work by restoring the
concepts of contracts and social class to the analysis of the
employment relationship. Based on the ESRC funded Future of Work
research programme this book is destined to shape our understanding of
employment in Britain for the foreseeable future.

“Econometrics”
by Fumio Hayashi
Princeton University Press | 2000-12-15 | ISBN: 0691010188 | 690 pages
| PDF | 18 Mb
Hayashi’s Econometrics promises to be the next great synthesis of
modern econometrics. It introduces first year Ph.D. students to
standard graduate econometrics material from a modern perspective. It
covers all the standard material necessary for understanding the
principal techniques of econometrics from ordinary least squares
through cointegration. The book is also distinctive in developing both
time-series and cross-section analysis fully, giving the reader a
unified framework for understanding and integrating results.
Econometrics has many useful features and covers all the important
topics in econometrics in a succinct manner. All the estimation
techniques that could possibly be taught in a first-year graduate
course, except maximum likelihood, are treated as special cases of GMM
(generalized methods of moments). Maximum likelihood estimators for a
variety of models (such as probit and tobit) are collected in a
separate chapter. This arrangement enables students to learn various
estimation techniques in an efficient manner. Eight of the ten
chapters include a serious empirical application drawn from labor
economics, industrial organization, domestic and international
finance, and macroeconomics. These empirical exercises at the end of
each chapter provide students a hands-on experience applying the
techniques covered in the chapter. The exposition is rigorous yet
accessible to students who have a working knowledge of very basic
linear algebra and probability theory. All the results are stated as
propositions, so that students can see the points of the discussion
and also the conditions under which those results hold. Most
propositions are proved in the text.
For those who intend to write a thesis on applied topics, the
empirical applications of the book are a good way to learn how to
conduct empirical research. For the theoretically inclined, the
no-compromise treatment of the basic techniques is a good preparation
for more advanced theory courses.

The Interpretation of Financial Statements
Collins | 1998-01-15 | ISBN: 0887309135 | 144 pages | PDF | 3,3 MB
Benjamin Graham has been called the most important investment thinker
of the twentieth century. As a master investor, pioneering stock
analyst, and mentor to investment superstars, he has no peer.
The volume you hold in your hands is Graham’s timeless guide to
interpreting and understanding financial statements. It has long been
out of print, but now joins Graham’s other masterpieces, The
Intelligent Investor and Security Analysis, as the three priceless
keys to understanding Graham and value investing.
The advice he offers in this book is as useful and prescient today as
it was sixty years ago. As he writes in the preface, “if you have
precise information as to a company’s present financial position and
its past earnings record, you are better equipped to gauge its future
possibilities. And this is the essential function and value of
security analysis.”
Written just three years after his landmark Security Analysis, The
Interpretation of Financial Statements gets to the heart of the
master’s ideas on value investing in astonishingly few pages. Readers
will learn to analyze a company’s balance sheets and income statements
and arrive at a true understanding of its financial position and
earnings record. Graham provides simple tests any reader can apply to
determine the financial health and well-being of any company.
This volume is an exact text replica of the first edition of The
Interpretation of Financial Statements, published by Harper & Brothers
in 1937. Graham’s original language has been restored, and readers can
be assured that every idea and technique presented here appears
exactly as Graham intended.
Highly practical and accessible, it is an essential guide for all
business people–and makes the perfect companion volume to Graham’s
investment masterpiece The Intelligent Investor.

Terrorism in Asymmetric Conflict: Ideological and Structural Aspects
(Sipri Research Reports)
Oxford University Press, USA | 2008-05-25 | ISBN: 0199533555 | 200
pages | PDF | 2 MB
The book’s main focus is on extremist ideologies and structural
capabilities of violent non-state actors that employ terrorist means.
Ideologies and organizational patterns are seen as the main
comparative advantages of such groups in an asymmetrical confrontation
at all levels, from the local to the global. Resolution of the key
issues of the armed conflict is seen as essential, but this is not
sufficient to undermine the foundations of terrorism generated by that
conflict, unless the structural capabilities of militant groups are
fully disrupted and the role of extremist ideologies in driving their
terrorist activities is neutralized.
With its central focus on Islamist terrorism, the book argues that the
quasi-religious, supra-national ideology of violent Islamism,
especially in its most ambitious transnational forms, cannot be
effectively counterbalanced at the ideological level either by Western
democratic secularism or by the use of moderate versions of Islam
itself. The author concludes that unless transnational violent
Islamism is, first, ‘nationalized’ and, second, transformed in
organizational terms through its being coopted into a more regular
political process, it is unlikely to become amenable to persuasion or
any external influence, let alone to be destroyed by the repression on
which it thrives.

This new, updated and extensively revised edition of “Searching for
Peace” is one of the first books to bridge the gap between peace and
conflict studies, world order and globalization. Revealing deep
structures and deep cultures of violence and finding in them the
reasons for increasing violence and peacekeeping failures, it presents
the lessons that can be learned from the TRANSCEND approach, adopted
as a UN training guide. A critical and piercing analysis of the
short-comings of conventional approaches to conflict resolution,
realpolitik and worsening dynamics of global violence which, if not
resolved, threaten even more catastrophic destruction in the future.
The book maps the conditions and path to sustainable peace, and the
challenge for peace by peaceful means.

“Value, Capitalist Dynamics, and Money (Research in Political Economy) “
by P. Zarembka
JAI Press; 1 edition | 2000 | ISBN: 0762306963 | 370 pages | PDF | 17,6 Mb
This volume begins with an introduction to Marx’s theory of capitalism
in his own words, with his examples modernized from use of shillings
and pence as subdivisions of the Pound. Well-known 1901 work on the
theory of crises in capitalism by Michael Tugan-Baranowsky is
translated into English for the first time, with a Preface placing it
in context. The political activism and theoretical work of Henryk
Grossman through 1926 is summarized in some detail, and a rarely-known
brief article of his from 1919 included.Ambiguity in Marx’s definition
of accumulation of capital and the differing directions Lenin and
Luxemburg took with it are next analyzed, with a more precise
definition offered. Debate, begun in the last volume, over the
valuation of means of production and its effect on the possibility of
a falling tendency of the profit rate is taken a step forward as
contrasting positions are developed.Finally, credit money as an
advanced form of money is analyzed and the post-Keynesian analysis of
it, originating from Kaldor, subject to critique. Several theories of
inflation theory are reviewed, with focus on the agencies causing
inflation. A rediscovery of Marxian inflation theory is proposed.

How to Deal with Emotionally Explosive People
256 pages | McGraw-Hill; 1 edition | December 9, 2002 | ISBN:
007138569X | 1 Mb
In his international bestseller, Dinosaur Brains, psychologist Albert
J. Bernstein told readers how to deal with difficult people at work.
Now, in a groundbreaking new book, Bernstein tackles a more serious
problem that profoundly affects the lives of millions of people:
walking time bombs.
How do you help a friend who explodes into panic attacks?
What do you say when a depressed family member bursts into tears?
How do you protect yourself when a stranger blows up in your face?
Too often, our choices make matters worse. But it isn’t our fault. All
that we feel, and much of what we hear directs us to defend the
fearful, comfort the sad, and talk sense to the angry, regardless of
the utter futility of these well-meaning actions.
Moment to moment, people with mental disorders stand at the crossroads
between getting better and getting worse. For disorders to heal,
medicine, psychotherapy, the encouragement of friends, and the
kindness of strangers must all point explosive people toward a single
direction.
People with anxiety disorders must turn and face their fear rather
than running away
Depressed people cannot wait to feel better to do the things that will
make them feel better
Angry people have to recognize that anger is something they do, not a
reaction to what is done to them
Reaching these goals sometimes requires stunning feats of mind over
matter. In How to Deal with Emotionally Explosive People, Dr.
Bernstein demonstrates, step by step, how to do them.

“Rethinking Islamism: The Ideology of the New Terror”
by Meghnad Desai
I. B. Tauris (2007) | English | ISBN: 1845112679 | 209 pages | PDF |
1.95 MB
Despite increasingly frantic calls – especially after the London
bombings of July 7, 2005 – for western leaders to ‘understand Islam
better’, there is a still a critical distinction that needs to be made
between ‘Islam’ as religion and ‘Islamism’ in the sense of militant
mindset. As the author of this provocative new book sees it, it is not
a more nuanced understanding of Islam that will help the western
powers defeat the jihadi threat, but rather a proper understanding of
Islamism: a political ideology which is quite distinct from religion.
While Islamism may be draped in religious imagery and suffused by
apocalyptic language, it nevertheless is similar in nature to secular
ideologies of terror. And once, the author holds, this is properly
appreciated, the ways to defeat it will become much better evident.
Historically sophisticated and passionately argued, Rethinking
Islamism makes a powerful case by a master theorist of political
philosophy. It will be essential reading for students and
policy-makers in the fields of politics, current affairs and religion.

“The Faith Factor: How Religion Influences American Elections”
by John C. Green
Praeger Publishers (2007) | English | ISBN: 0275987183 | 235 pages |
PDF | 1.30 MB
The impact of religion on the 2004 presidential election results
provoked widespread consternation and surprise. Given the intensity
and closeness of the results, however, the role of religion should not
have come as a shock. In fact, religion and faith have played a vital
role in American elections for some time, and here, Green explores the
links and how they have changed over time. Specifically, he concludes
that there was an “old religion gap” that described longstanding
political differences among religious communities, which has been
supplanted by a “new religion gap” that shows political divisions
based on religious behavior and belief. Green puts the differences
into context and documents the changing role of religion in politics
over the last sixty years.
Covering three areas of religion that tend to influence election
outcomes, Green illuminates the meaning of religious belonging,
behaving, and believing in current political context. Each of these
aspects of religion affects the way people vote and their views of
issues, ideology, and partisanship. He reviews the importance of
“moral values” in the major party coalitions and discusses the role
religious appeals have in presidential campaigns. In addition, he
compares the influence of religion to other factors such as gender,
age, and income. Given the emphasis on the influence of religion on
American politics and elections in recent years, this book serves as a
cogent reminder that the situation is not new, and offers a careful
analysis of the real role faith plays in the electing of government
officials.

Richard A. LockshinThe Joy of Science”
Springer | 2007-11 | ISBN: 140206098X | 440 pages | PDF | 42,1 MB
This book, by a practicing and successful scientist, explores why
questions arise in science and looks at how questions are tackled,
what constitutes a valid answer, and why. The author does not bog down
the reader in technical details or lists of facts to memorize.
Instead, he places the questions in their historical and cultural
context, ranging from the earliest intimations that the earth had a
long history to current controversies, even describing the origins,
challenges, and promises of modern molecular biology. Addressing
issues as complex as radiocarbon dating and how we know that DNA is a
double helix, he uses examples, illustrations, and descriptions that
all students should be able to grasp (“Were there kangaroos in Noahs
Ark?”; “Molecular Biology Aint Rocket Science”). He gives the reader a
sense of why a scientist feels always “like the child called to the
stage to watch the magician do his trick”. The authors thesis is that
scientific logic is an extension of the common human logic used by
everyone on a daily basis, and that it can and should be understood by
everyone. The book should provide an antidote for students who have
suffered through “science for non-scientists” courses that were long
lists of names to memorize; and it should prove enlightening for any
citizen who has been perplexed by the meaning, relevance, and moral or
political implications of scientific headlines or commercial efforts,
or anyone who has cast or will cast a vote influenced by a scientific
presumption.

Richard Sennett “The Culture of the New Capitalism”
Yale University Press | 2006-01-01 | ISBN: 030010782X | 224 pages |
PDF | 1,3 MB
The distinguished sociologist Richard Sennett surveys major
differences between earlier forms of industrial capitalism and the
more global, more febrile, ever more mutable version of capitalism
that is taking its place. He shows how these changes affect everyday
lifehow the work ethic is changing; how new beliefs about merit and
talent displace old values of craftsmanship and achievement; how what
Sennett calls the specter of uselessness haunts professionals as well
as manual workers; how the boundary between consumption and politics
is dissolving.
In recent years, reformers of both private and public institutions
have preached that flexible, global corporations provide a model of
freedom for individuals, unlike the experience of fixed and static
bureaucracies Max Weber once called an iron cage. Sennett argues that,
in banishing old ills, the new-economy model has created new social
and emotional traumas. Only a certain kind of human being can prosper
in unstable, fragmentary institutions: the culture of the new
capitalism demands an ideal self oriented to the short term, focused
on potential ability rather than accomplishment, willing to discount
or abandon past experience. In a concluding section, Sennett examines
a more durable form of self hood, and what practical initiatives could
counter the pernicious effects of reform.

Macroeconomic Theory is the most up-to-date graduate-level
macroeconomics textbook available today. This book truly offers
something new by emphasizing the general equilibrium character of
macroeconomics to explain effects across the whole economy, not just
part. It is also the perfect resource for economists who need to brush
up on the latest developments.
Michael Wickens lays out the core ideas of modern macroeconomics and
its links with finance. He presents the simplest general equilibrium
macroeconomic model for a closed economy, and then gradually develops
a comprehensive model of the open economy. Every important topic is
covered, including growth, business cycles, fiscal policy, taxation
and debt finance, current account sustainability, exchange-rate
determination, and an up-to-date account of monetary policy through
inflation targeting. Wickens addresses the interrelationships between
macroeconomics and modern finance and shows how they affect stock,
bond, and foreign-exchange markets. While the mathematics needed for
this book is rigorous, the author describes fundamental concepts in a
way that helps make the book self-contained and easy to use.
Accessible, comprehensive, and wide-ranging, Macroeconomic Theory will
become the standard text for students and is ideal for economists,
particularly those in government, central and commercial banking, and
financial investment.

Josiah Ober, “Democracy and Knowledge: Innovation and Learning in
Classical Athens”
Publisher: Princeton University Press | Pages: 362 | 2008-10-09 |
ISBN: 0691133476 | PDF | 1.6 MB
When does democracy work well, and why? Is democracy the best form of
government? These questions are of supreme importance today as the
United States seeks to promote its democratic values abroad. Democracy
and Knowledge is the first book to look to ancient Athens to explain
how and why directly democratic government by the people produces
wealth, power, and security.
Combining a history of Athens with contemporary theories of collective
action and rational choice developed by economists and political
scientists, Josiah Ober examines Athenian democracy’s unique
contribution to the ancient Greek city-state’s remarkable success, and
demonstrates the valuable lessons Athenian political practices hold
for us today. He argues that the key to Athens’s success lay in how
the city-state managed and organized the aggregation and distribution
of knowledge among its citizens. Ober explores the institutional
contexts of democratic knowledge management, including the use of
social networks for collecting information, publicity for building
common knowledge, and open access for lowering transaction costs. He
explains why a government’s attempt to dam the flow of information
makes democracy stumble. Democratic participation and deliberation
consume state resources and social energy. Yet as Ober shows, the
benefits of a well-designed democracy far outweigh its costs.
Understanding how democracy can lead to prosperity and security is
among the most pressing political challenges of modern times.
Democracy and Knowledge reveals how ancient Greek politics can help us
transcend the democratic dilemmas that confront the world today.

Statistical Analysis of Management Data
Springer | 2003-03-01 | ISBN: 1402073151 | 280 pages | DjVu | 4,6 MB
This book is not intended as a first introduction to statistics and
statistical analysis. Instead it assumes that the student is familiar
with basic statistical techniques. The techniques are presented in a
fundamental way but in a format accessible to students in a doctoral
program, to practicing academicians, and to data analysts.

Encyclopedia of Conflict Resolution
ABC-Clio Inc | 1997 | 356 pages | ISBN-10: 0874368391 | 1.21 MB | CHM
The goal of this volume is “to make the broad conflict resolution
knowledge base more accessible.” Covering both deep-rooted conflicts
and short-term negotiable disputes, the authors, codirectors of the
Conflict Research Consortium at the University of Colorado at Boulder,
furnish an inside look at a relatively new scholarly and professional
field. Conflicts and disputes, from a basic two-party personal
relationship to a showdown between superpowers, and the context in
which these disputes occur are discussed. Labor-management issues,
public-policy conflicts, business negotiations, victim-offender
reconciliation, and tension between social groups, as well as those
conflicts that occur in personal relationships, all have their place
in this volume, which presents the competing viewpoints prevalent in
the field.
The encyclopedia defines central concepts in entries such as
alternative dispute resolution (ADR), arbitration, mediation, and
negotiation, and provides explanations for common terms and phrases,
such as collaborative problem solving, interest groups, and
nonnegotiable issues. There are entries for ethical and legal issues,
important organizations, and individuals, such as Henry Kissinger and
Martin Luther King Jr., as well as critical cases and events in the
history of conflict resolution, such as the Camp David Accords and the
Persian Gulf War.
The introduction provides relevant background information on the
development of the field of conflict resolution and a general overview
of the contents. Entries are arranged alphabetically and vary in
length from a few paragraphs to several pages. See also references
guide the reader to related terms and entries. Each entry concludes
with a brief bibliography of related titles, including relevant
Internet addresses. Appendixes provide access to conflict-resolution
organizations, ADR professionals, conferences, and training providers.
The volume concludes with a 14-page bibliography and an index.
The authors’ intention is that this unique encyclopedia will be useful
to both nonprofessionals and beginning professionals in the field. It
should assist readers in sorting through the many dispute-resolution
techniques and options, as well as provide definitions of terms,
details of historic events, and biographical information on important
people in the field. Academic and large public libraries will find
this a useful addition to their collections.

Thomas C. Schelling, “The Strategy of Conflict”
Harvard University Press | ISBN 0674840313 | December 12, 2006 | DJVU

Book Details:
Title: The Strategy of Conflict
Authors: Thomas C. Schelling
Publisher: Harvard University Press (1980); Reprint edition (December
12, 2006)
Paperback: 326 pages
Language: English
ISBN: 0674840313
List Price: $22.50
Amazon Sales Rank: #9,855 (!)
Brilliant Work from a Brilliant Scholar Thomas Schelling’s 1960 book,
The Strategy of Conflict, was a significant work in game theory and is
one of the reasons for his receipt of the Nobel Prize in 2005. It is
254 pages plus three appendices.
Schelling’s work is a refreshing look at game theory. He is a
consistent methodological individualist, and he emphasizes the aspects
of reality that are often overlooked in game theory. He carefully
discusses the different aspects of the pure-conflict, mix-motive, and
pure-cooperation games. He shows that often in negotiation, impotence
is a source of strength. By giving up the ability to buy a car over $X
to a third party, the buyer can now negotiate more successfully with
the seller who now knows there is no reason to continue bargaining; he
can either take the sale at that price or make no sale at all. The
buyer’s ability to make a commitment before the other party does,
allows him a significant advantage. Schelling then analyzes a variety
of different situations and the effect of promises, threats,
third-parties, mediator, and arbitrators. He also shows the advantage
of retaliation over simply defense from an attack, and the important
role of uncertainty in retaliation.
Schelling’s discussion of \”focal points\” is of great popularity. The
basic idea is that even when two people cannot communicate at all,
they can often reach an agreement. For example, imagine a game where
there is $100 and it is to be split by two people who cannot talk to
each other. In order for each person to win, they must independently
split the money in exactly the same division. How would you split the
money? It turns out that many people split it 50/50. This is a
solution that seems like something he thinks that I think that he
thinks that I think….These focal points are often arbitrary but they
carry a distinction; they are a place where one asks \”if not here,
where?\” Focal points can be based on historical trends, cultural
understandings, equality, or simplicity. It is basically anything that
one person thinks will draw the other person’s attention. Schelling
improves on traditional game theory (such as that of Nash and Aumann)
by including these aspects of interaction which are generally lost in
the abstract modeling. Additionally, he emphasizes the inclusion of
asymmetry of payouts.
Schelling’s work is engaging because it is realistic and riddled with
examples from war and everyday life. It stands out, to me, because
unlike many other works on game theory, it is truly realistic and
relevant. The Strategy of Conflict reminds me to some extent of Robert
Nozick’s Anarchy State and Utopia because they are both filled with
fanciful examples that draw out fascinating concepts and conclusions.
I recommend this book to someone who is willing to think hard while
reading and enjoys useful economic insights.

Politics, Philosophy, Terror
Princeton University Press | 1999-08-30 | ISBN: 069100935X | 269 pages
| PDF | 7,4 MB
Hannah Arendt’s rich and varied political thought is more influential
today than ever before, due in part to the collapse of communism and
the need for ideas that move beyond the old ideologies of the Cold
War. As Dana Villa shows, however, Arendt’s thought is often poorly
understood, both because of its complexity and because her fame has
made it easy for critics to write about what she is reputed to have
said rather than what she actually wrote. Villa sets out to change
that here, explaining clearly, carefully, and forcefully Arendt’s
major contributions to our understanding of politics, modernity, and
the nature of political evil in our century.
