Informe Sobre El Desarrollo Mundial 1993

Book Description

Now in its sixteenth annual edition, the World Development Report 1993 is an essential reference on the world economy and the state of social and economic development. Like earlier editions, the 1993 Report incorporates research from all over the world, analyzing the conditions that surround the growth process and offering insights on appropriate policy measures for the future. Drawing on the latest Bank research, this edition examines national health policies worldwide and measures their success in improving health and reducing costs, describing approaches governments can take to improve the health of the poor. For the first time including available data for selected countries of the former Soviet Union and the Eastern and Central European economies, the World Development Indicators contain the most comprehensive and up-to-date data on health and economic development in more than 185 countries. Two appendices assess the global burden of disease and supplementary statistics concerned with financing and delivering health services. A timely survey and synthesis of contemporary economic issues worldwide, the World Development Report 1993 is invaluable to anyone interested in or concerned with economic development, international economics, and international politics.

An Excellent Book.......2004-11-23

I am waiting for a book like this. Actually, there are some good literatures on pattern recognition on the market and those were written by very good researchers in this area. However, those were not written like this one, which is explicitly and neatly organized. The authors do not play formulas with readers. A good book makes complicated things simple and lets the readers understand the contents. A good researcher does not mean a good book author, but the authors of this book are excellent in both. I recommend this book to all.

Book Description

`I evidently saw that unless the great God of his infinite grace and bounty, had voluntarily chosen me to be a vessel of mercy, though I should desire, and long, and labour until my heart did break, no good could come of it . . . How can you tell you are Elected?' (GA, 47) In seventeenth-century England, the Calvinist doctrine of predestination, with its belief in the predetermined salvation of the few and damnation of the many, led many Christians to an anguished search for evidence of God's favour. John Bunyan's Grace Abounding records this spiritual crisis and its gruelling fluctuations between hope and despair in all its psychological intensity. It is a classic of spiritual autobiography - a genre which flourished in seventeenth-century England, as anxiety over one's spiritual state encouraged rigorous self-scrutiny and the sharing of spiritual experiences. This edition sets Grace Abounding alongside four of the most interesting and varied contemporary spiritual autobiographies, making its cultural milieu more meaningful to the modern reader.

Book Description

The Utilitarians, Stephen argues, were social reformers first and philosophers second, if at all. The history of philosophy is not an isolated domain governed by the unfolding of a timeless inner logic; rather it is an integral part of the history of humanity.

"The English Utilitarians of whom I am about to give some account were a group of men who for three generations had a conspicuous influence upon English thought and political action. Jeremy Bentham, James Mill, and John Stuart Mill were successively their leaders; and I shall speak of each in turn."

Sir Leslie Stephen was the first serious critic of the novel, and he was also editor of the great Dictionary of National Biography from its beginning in 1882 until 1891. In 1859 he was ordained a minister. As a tutor at Cambridge his philosophical readings led him to skepticism, and later he relinquished his holy orders. He wrote several essays defending his agnostic position. Throughout his life Stephen was a prominent athlete and mountaineer. Virginia Woolf was the younger of his two daughters by his second wife. His first wife was Harriet Marian Thackeray, daughter of the novelist.

Book Description

This is an exploration of the lives and writings of early English utilitarianism's three main proponents: Bentham, James Mill and John Stuart Mill. It also sketches more broadly the relation of the three to the wider trends in English political and philosophical thought in the 18th and 19th centuries. Written in 1900, towards the end of Stephen's life, it was described by the DNB (after his death) as a work that 'abounds in happy characterisation of movements and men'.

Book Description

The stories of Kaua'i's ruling chiefs were passed from generation to generation in songs and narratives recited by trained storytellers either formally at the high chief's court or informally at family gatherings. Their chronology was ordered by a ruler's genealogy, which, in the case of the pua ali'i (flower of royalty), was illustrious and far reaching and could be traced to one of the four great gods of Polynesia--Kane, Ku, Lono, and Kanaloa. In these legends, Hawaiians of old sought answers to the questions "Who are we?" "Who are our ancestors and where do they come from?" "What lessons can be learned from their conduct?"

Na Pua Ali'i o Kaua'i presents the stories of the men and women who ruled the island of Kaua'i from its first settlement to the final rebellion against Kamehameha I's forces in 1824. Only fragments remain of the nearly two-thousand-year history of the people who inhabited Kaua'i before the coming of James Cook in 1778. Now scattered in public and private archives and libraries, these pieces of Hawai'i's precontact past were recorded in the nineteenth century by such determined individuals as David Malo, Samuel Kamakau, and Abraham Fornander. All known genealogical references to the Kaua'i ali'i nui (paramount chiefs) have been gathered here and placed in chronological order and are interspersed with legends of great voyages, bitter wars, courageous heroes, and passionate romances that together form a rich and invaluable resource.

Good, but not in-depth.......2002-03-22

This book gave me a quick and readable introduction to the STEM. Good work on the writers' part.

Book Description

This authoritative volume, ideal for use in the laboratory, presents the practical and theoretical fundamentals of scanning and transmission electron microscopy--together in one convenient volume. Clear and concise explanations coupled with instructive diagrams and photographs guide you through microscope operation, image production, analytical techniques, and potential applications to various disciplines. Specimen preparation is discussed in detail, with emphasis on specific parameters for biological specimens. Since each laboratory has its own procedures, this unique book covers the essentials of scanning and transmission electron microscopy while leaving the laboratory particulars to individual discretion. Unmatched in scope and clarity--and filled with helpful diagrams, photographs, and drawings--this text offers the best introduction to scanning and transmission electron microscopy available. Due to its comprehensive coverage, the book will serve as an ideal course text in the electron microscopy classes organized for the benefit of advanced students in both the biological and physical sciences.

A great intro to SEM/TEM!.......2001-03-06

As an SEM/EDS (read the book) process engineer working with technicians at many different levels, I have found this book to be an invaluable resource. It is written at very basic level making it accessible to anyone, with or without a scientific background. Whenever someone wants to know more about how the SEM functions then I can tell them in a five minute spiel, I give them a copy of this book. The material is slightly dated (early 90's technology), but is still relevant to anyone in the field today. A great book on all of the basics.

Book Description

The book covers that part of public international law that deals with the protection of wild fauna and flora and as such it is part of the concept of international environmental law. The book deals with international legal instruments, usually multilateral, which have as their main goal the protection of wild fauna and/or flora e.g. the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) of 1973 and the Convention on Biological Diversity of 1992. It provides a historical survey, an explanation of some terms and an analysis of the underlying values for nature protection. The substantive law discussed is divided into general international law and special international law. In the part on `general international law', the scarce principles of international law concerning problems of fauna and flora protection, such as the preservation principle and the common heritage principle are examined. In the part on special international law' the objects protected by that law such as species, genetic diversity, ecosystem and habitat is dealt with, as well as the concepts involved. The protection of the object `species' is divided into general protection of species and the special protection of threatened animals and plants. Finally, the part on adjective law deals with the implementation of the international law on wild fauna and flora and considers the different mechanisms of implementation contained in the international legal instruments concerned. The book is based on the author's lecturing experience in international public law during thirty years, as well as on his membership of the Commission on Environmental Law of the IUCN, the International Council on Environmental Law and the Netherlands Committee for International Nature Protection.
