Six Moments of Crisis - Gill Bennett - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Six Moments of Crisis - Gill Bennett - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Former Whitehall insider Gill Bennett unravels the story of six crucial British foreign policy challenges since the Second World War, from the Korean War to the Falklands conflict, offering an inside account of episodes that shaped Britain''s position in the world for decades to come - and in some cases still arouse controversy to this day. Lifting the lid on the making of British foreign policy from Clement Attlee to Margaret Thatcher, Bennett reveals each decision in a way that has never been done before: telling the story from the inside out and without hindsight. The result is a book that explains not just why these controversial decisions were taken, but one that shows us how history is actually made - and also just how difficult these big decisions really were. Gill Bennett considers exactly what ministers knew at the time; how personal experience, relationships, past events and prevailing circumstance influenced the decision-making process; and how the balance of history was tipped in each case: by argument, moral imperative, obligation - or even sheer force of personality.

The Invisible Hand(out) - Samuel Brazys - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Invisible Hand(out) - Samuel Brazys - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

The Invisible Hand(out): Aid, Trade, and Unequal Globalization examines the relationship between foreign aid, market access, and economic growth in developing countries during the era of globalization. Despite the rapid integration of global markets lifting millions of people out of poverty, disparities remain, with some nations thriving while others falter. This book argues that explanations focusing solely on domestic governance and institutions, or geography, fall short in explaining these divergences. Instead, it highlights the critical role of external factors-specifically, the availability of trade-effective aid and the presence of meaningful market access opportunities. Drawing on extensive fieldwork and novel datasets, the book offers both quantitative and qualitative evidence in support of its arguments. Brazys considers a number of in-depth cases, including success stories Indonesia and Vietnam, where strategic aid and market access drove transformative growth, alongside cases including Madagascar and the Federated States of Micronesia, who have stagnated despite high overall levels of aid and de jure market access. With a focus on both economic data and the lived realities of development practitioners and exporters, The Invisible Hand(out) bridges theoretical insights and practical implications, offering policymakers, academics, and development professionals a fresh lens on addressing global inequality and fostering sustainable growth.

Re-Imagining Capitalism - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Re-Imagining Capitalism - - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Capitalism has been an unprecedented engine of wealth creation for many centuries, leading to sustained productivity gains and long-term growth and lifting an increasing proportion of humanity out of poverty. But its effects, and hence its future, have come increasingly under question: Is capitalism still improving wealth and well-being for the many? Or, is long-term value creation being sacrificed to the pressures of short-termism, with potentially far-reaching consequences for society, the natural environment, prosperity, and global order? Building on a collaboration between the Schulich School of Business and global management consultancy McKinsey & Company, this volume reflects both the urgency of the needed action and the tremendous opportunity to forge consensus and catalyze a lasting movement toward a more responsible, long-term, and sustainable model of capitalism. This unique volume brings together many of the leading proponents for a reformed, re-imagined capitalism from the Âfields of academia, business, and NGOs. Its contributors have been at the forefront of thought and action in regard to the future of capitalism. Both individually and collectively, they provide powerful suggestions of what such a long-term oriented model of capitalism should look like and how it can be achieved. Drawing on their research and professional experience, they write in an accessible style aiming to reach the broad audiences required to turn a re-imagined capitalism into a reality.

Scouting for Boys - Robert Baden Powell - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Scouting for Boys - Robert Baden Powell - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

''A scout must always be prepared at any moment to do his duty, and to face danger in order to help his fellow-men.''A startling amalgam of Zulu war-cry and imperial and urban myth, of borrowed tips on health and hygiene, and object lessons in woodcraft, Robert Baden-Powell''s Scouting for Boys (1908) is the original blueprint and ''self-instructor'' of the Boy Scout Movement. One of the all-time bestsellers in the English-speaking world, this primer of ''yarns and pictures'' constitutes probably the most influential manual for youth ever published. Yet the book is at the same time a roughly composed hodge-podge of jingoist lore and tracker legend, padded with lengthy quotations from adventure fiction and Baden-Powell''s own autobiography, and seamed through with the multiple anxieties of its time: fears of degeneration, concerns about masculinity and self-restraint, invasion paranoia. Elleke Boehmer''s edition of Scouting for Boys reprints the original text and illustrations, and her fine introduction investigates a book that has been cited as an authority by militarists and pacifists, capitalists and environmentalists alike.

Kamasutra - Vatsyayana Mallanaga - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

Kamasutra - Vatsyayana Mallanaga - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

''When the wheel of sexual ecstasy is in full motion, there is no textbook at all, and no order.''The Kamasutra is the oldest extant Hindu textbook of erotic love. It is about the art of living - about finding a partner, maintaining power in a marriage, committing adultery, living as or with a courtesan, using drugs - and also about the positions in sexual intercourse. It was composed in Sanskrit, the literary language of ancient India, sometime in the third century CE. It combines an encyclopaedic coverage of all imaginable aspects of sex with a closely observed sexual psychology and a dramatic, novelistic narrative of seduction, consummation, and disentanglement. Best known in English through the highly mannered, padded, and inaccurate nineteenth-century translation of Sir Richard Burton, the text is presented here in an entirely new translation into clear, vivid, sexually frank English, together with three commentaries: translated excerpts from the earliest and most famous Sanskrit commentary (13th century) and from a twentieth-century Hindi commentary, and explanatory notes by the two translators. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World''s Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford''s commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

World without weight - Daniel Povinelli - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

World without weight - Daniel Povinelli - Bog - Oxford University Press - Plusbog.dk

In every domain of reasoning-from time and space, to mental states and physical illness-humans deploy an exceedingly diverse range of intuitive ''theories'' about how the world works. Children from diverse cultures always seem to arrive at a few, common folk theories as they hone their developing brains against roughly similar interactions with people and objects. The result is an impressive panoply of folk notions that the human species uses to explain, predict, and just plain talk about everything from why the sky is blue, to why we catch a cold when we stand out in the rain. Unquestionably, all of this "higher-order" reasoning rests upon a diverse and complex tool-kit of "lower-order" neural and bodily mechanisms, much of which humans share in common with other species (and which, collectively, are quite clever in their right). But this book asks a different question: Are humans alone in trying to make sense of the world by postulating theoretical entities to explain how the world works? Povinelli and his colleagues approach this highly controversial territory by investigating the seemingly prosaic topic whether chimpanzees wield roughly the same commonsense ideas about weight that human do. When it comes to the physical world, they ask if chimpanzees reinterpret a broad range of primary experiences-lifting objects, seeing objects fall or collide, observing the differential effort others exert when they move objects-in terms of a common, causal mechanism which, in our everyday parlance, we refer to as ''weight.'' The question is not whether chimpanzees have a theory about weight that''s any better or worse than preschool children or Einstein or modern string theorists. The question is whether chimpanzees have any theories at all. And the answer comes in the form of over 30 never-before-published experiments from a decade-long research project involving seven adult chimpanzees and one hundred and twenty preschool children. Povinelli''s work encourages us to stand back and adopt a different perspective on even our closest living relatives. Rather than seeing chimpanzees as watered-down versions of ourselves, this book challenges us to see our joint encounter for what it is: a meeting of alien minds.
