Download or read book Just Fine written by France Daigle and published by House of Anansi. This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Just Fine traces the mishaps and misadventures of a conflicted agoraphobe: a woman psychologically restricted to a life indoors but spiritually inclined to wander the meadows, roads, and community beyond the house and river of her youth. Her struggle assumes historic proportions when her neighbours dream of their own escapes from the insular, predictable cadences of life in Acadia: Camil changes his name; Terry embarks on a voyage of discovery; Carmen studies exotic river deltas; Elizabeth searches for a transcendent love; and the agoraphobe, dreams of travelling to Paris and telling her story to a French television star. The course of their endeavours, like the river that dominates their town, twists and turns. In its brilliant collage of river lore, art history, astrology, and mythology France Daigle's rich and witty novel journeys beyond the cultural, psychological, and literary bounds within which its characters live and leads us to where history, fantasy, and memory collide. This is the initial work in the trilogy which also includes A Fine Passage and Life's Little Difficulties.

Download or read book Water and Tribal Settlement in South East Arabia written by J. C. Wilkinson and published by Georg Olms. This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a study of the traditional relationships that exist in Oman between land and social organization, and how they have evolved. The author starts with the theme of aridity and, using the extensive literature of the 1200 year old Ibadi community to supplement his field work, shows how the techniques of water exploitation have influenced the country’s social organization and its political ideology. He describes how the settlement organization has evolved in two stages; the first in the years before Islam when the Persians irrigated the land using aflaj or horizontal water channels; the second after the Arabs had overthrown the Persians and, influenced by Ibadism, established a more democratic society dominated by a strong tribal structure in the villages. The tribal structure is then examined in detail and the author shows how close the links are between the Islamic ideology, land use, and social organization. As a contribution to the human geography of Oman as well as to general knowledge of the Middle East the book will interest Arabists, Islamic historians and social anthropologists, as well as hydrologists and geographers.
Download or read book WTO Dispute Settlement at Twenty written by Abhijit Das and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-04-08 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on India’s participation in the WTO dispute settlement system, at a time when India has emerged as one of the most successful and prominent users of WTO dispute settlement among the developing countries. It offers a unique collection of perspectives from insiders – legal practitioners, policymakers, industry representatives and academics – on India’s participation in the system since its creation in 1995. Presenting in-depth analyses of substantive issues, the book shares rare insights into the jurisprudential significance, political economy contexts and capacity-building challenges faced by India. It closely examines India’s approach in effectively participating in the WTO’s dispute settlement mechanism including the framing of litigation strategies, developing legal and stakeholder infrastructure, implementing dispute settlement decisions, and the impacts of the findings of the WTO panels / Appellate Body on domestic policymaking and India’s long-term trade interests. In addition to discussing the key “classic” jurisprudential issues, the book also explores domestic regulatory and policy issues, complemented by selected case studies.

Download or read book Population and the World Bank written by and published by . This book was released on 1992 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines the Bank's activities in the population sector by reviewing its role in eight countries. It begins by asking what demographic and related socio-economic changes have occurred since about 1968 when the Bank announced it would begin lending for this sector, what government policies affecting these trends were instituted and what role was played by the Bank vis a vis other donors during this period? The conclusions reached are based on field visits, interviews and a review of documents and literature. The picture that emerges is one of considerable diversity of activities and experiences, from which it is not easy to generalize. However, the overall conclusion is that, after slow, halting and sometimes faulty starts, the Bank has become progressively more effective in this field. From this point forward, most of what is needed involves reorientations and shifts in emphasis rather than radical departures from recent practices and levels of funding.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than two decades, there has been growing concern over the environmental implications of development. There is evidence that the mismanagement of renewable resources has been widespread as populations have increased and countries have tried to cope with the imperative need to promote economic growth. This report analyzes the results of 355 agriculture and forestry projects in the tropics which have been completed. Further, it examines the findings in the case studies of 12 countries. These countries represent the three principal tropical ecologic zones. Specifically the report consists of six chapters. Chapter 1 reviews the findings of PPARs, PCRs and IERs on resource management issues. Chapters 2 through 4 summarize the main findings of the 12 case studies of countries. Chapter 5 examines the Bank's role in identifying and dealing with policy issues affecting resource management. Chapter 6 discusses the opportunities and constraints that exist if the Bank is to address resource management issues more effectively.
Download or read book Rich People Poor Countries written by Caroline Freund and published by Peterson Institute for International Economics. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 199 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Like the robber barons of the 19th century Gilded Age, a new and proliferating crop of billionaires is driving rapid development and industrialization in poor countries. The accelerated industrial growth spurs economic prosperity for some, but it also widens the gap between the super rich and the rest of the population, especially the very poor. In Rich People Poor Countries, Caroline Freund identifies and analyzes nearly 700 emerging-market billionaires whose net worth adds up to more than $2 trillion. Freund finds that these titans of industry are propelling poor countries out of their small-scale production and agricultural past and into a future of multinational industry and service-based mega firms. And more often than not, the new billionaires are using their newfound acumen to navigate the globalized economy, without necessarily relying on political connections, inheritance, or privileged access to resources. This story of emerging-market billionaires and the global businesses they create dramatically illuminates the process of industrialization in the modern world economy.

Download or read book Debussy written by Stefan Jarociński and published by . This book was released on 1976 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the first, Debussy's music lent itself to all kinds of convenient critical labels, of which the most fashionable has always been 'impressionist'. In this book the doyen of Polish musicologists examines Debussy's output against the twin backgrounds of his upbringing and of contemporary movements in the other arts besides music. He concludes that the 'impressionist' analogy between music and painting has been too deceptively obvious, and that the movement with which Debussy's art is most deeply impregnated is Symbolism. This he shows by a review of the general aesthetic ferments of this age, by close analysis of Debussy's music, his early works in particular, and by well-directed quotation from Debussy's own many writings on the subject. In the course of his argument he leads the reader down many unexpected bypaths in aesthetics; his book is both an original contribution to musicology and a philosophical meditation on the whole of the art of this unusually fertile and adventurous period.
