"Drawing on a wide range of case studies from across the globe, this book explores such areas as: health and population growth, conflict and security, global inequality and poverty, fair trade and trade liberalization, gender and education, foreign aid and debt, and sustainability and the environment. This issues-driven text focuses on the debates that have generated the most interest and passion among practitioners and non-practitioners alike. Always attentive to the contested and plural nature of the field, it makes the case for a genuinely interdisciplinary approach which takes full account of the impact of globalization."--Publisher

What is development? Do the less developed countries of the world have any chance to become modern and developed? What is the best path for a country to take towards development? How do traditional societies evolve into more advanced societies of the type found in modern and developed countries? The book attempts to answer all of these thought-provoking questions. I have been working in the sphere of international development for more than 15 years, and have consulted different governments in Europe, Asia and Africa on the development issues. Each developing country in which I have worked is different and unique, yet they share a significant number of common features peculiar to developing counties. I want to emphasize one of them: pessimism towards the prospects of country's development. I came across this in my experiences (in the low and middle income group countries) whereby civil servants or the general population of those countries were very pessimistic of their respective country's development prospects. One of the biggest drivers for this pessimism was limited knowledge with regards to two particular questions: what is development and how do countries develop generally? This issue is complicated by the fact that one needs some basic level knowledge of several interconnected disciplines to adequately answer these development field questions (such as economics, political science, sociology, geography, demographics, etc.). As a matter of fact, the majority of books in the development field concentrate only on one or a few disciplines to provide viewpoints in development. There are, also, many schools of thought and conventions regarding which are the exact features constituting the "development" of a country and thus what should be the development priorities. This book tries to be innovative and daring to target all of these. It observes development from different viewpoints of various disciplines and discusses all major theories of development. It tries to attract the interest of readers from as many different academic backgrounds as possible. For this reason, simple language is used to the extent possible and complex social sciences terminologies are largely avoided. For the terminology that is used, explanations are provided either in the text or in footnotes. The book contains some real stories from development practice with some selected cases from different development consultancy assignments. The book discusses case studies of remarkable examples in the development history (such as those of Singapore and Ireland), contemporary, actual topics (such as globalization and development), modern global changes and their influence on development. The case study of Singapore can be used for generating ideas how to implement policies and build institutions in the developing countries context. The most important factor in Singapore's success, as acknowledged by many scientists, was skillfully designed public policies. All major successful public policies are analyzed in the book, along with institutions progress in the country. Ireland's success (1995-2007 Celtic Tiger period) has been universally acknowledged. The book discusses the most important messages from the successful development case of Ireland to the developing World. Finally, different levels of development of nations, differences of value systems, different cultures and beliefs are suggested to create a diversity, the thrilling diversity of the World.

Developmental biology is seemingly well understood, with development widely accepted as being a series of programmed changes through which an egg turns into an adult organism, or a seed matures into a plant. However, the picture is much more complex than that: is it all genetically controlled or does environment have an influence? Is the final adult stage the target of development and everything else just a build-up to that point? Are developmental strategies the same in plants as in animals? How do we consider development in single-celled organisms? In this concise, engaging volume, Alessandro Minelli, a leading developmental biologist, addresses these key questions. Using familiar examples and easy-to-follow arguments, he offers fresh alternatives to a number of preconceptions and stereotypes, awakening the reader to the disparity of developmental phenomena across all main branches of the tree of life.

The literature on rural America, to the extent that it exists, has largely been written by urban-based scholars perpetuating out-of-date notions and stereotypes or by those who see little difference between rural and agricultural concerns. As a result, the real rural America remains much misunderstood, neglected, or ignored by scholars and policymakers alike. In response, Emery Castle offers The Changing American Countryside, a volume that will forever change how we look at this important subject. Castle brings together the writings of eminent scholars from several disciplines and varying backgrounds to take a fresh and comprehensive look at the "forgotten hinterlands." These authors examine the role of non-metropolitan people and places in the economic life of our nation and cover such diverse issues as poverty, industry, the environment, education, family, social problems, ethnicity, race, religion, gender, government, public policy, and regional diversity The authors are especially effective in demonstrating why rural America is so much more than just agriculture. It is in fact highly diverse, complex, and interdependent with urban America and the international market place. Most major rural problems, they contend, simply cannot be effectively addressed in isolation from their urban and international connections. To do so is misguided and even hazardous, when one-fourth of our population and ninety-seven per cent of our land area is rural. Together these writings not only provide a new and more realistic view of rural life and public policy, but also suggest how the field of rural studies can greatly enrich our understanding of national life.

This book addresses topical development issues in India, ranging from land acquisition, poverty alleviation programs, labor market issues, the public-private partnership (PPP) model and fiscal federalism. It offers an Indian perspective on the dynamics of economic development and the impact the country’s legal and public policies have on it. Economic development is a dynamic concept – old problems are solved, while at the same time new issues come to the fore. The emergence of these issues is unique to the development experience of an economy. The book includes sixteen recent contributions and is divided into four sections: law and contract; trade and foreign aid; issues in public economics; and the social sector and poverty alleviation. The chapters reflect on a number of development issues which were of concern for India in the recent past and will be important in her future development initiatives such as land acquisition, agricultural productivity, employment, protection of intellectual property rights, corruption, public-private partnership, regional development, poverty alleviations programs like the National Rural Employment Guarantee Act (NREGA) and the training of self-help group members, health and education of women, to name a few. The book is a valuable reference resource for policy practitioners and researchers working on the economics of development with special focus on developing economies.

A new edition of this book is available. `This is an admirable, modern textbook on child development, which is compact, beautifully organized and laid out and hence is easy to read and use. It also incorporates all the pedagogic methods which one expects in good textbooks nowadays, such as stating the aims of each chapter in bold at the beginning, together with a useful summary in a text-box and a glossary at the end of each chapter.... I was also very pleased to find that Keenan had included much of the modern thinking about child development which so many other university-level "introductions" seem, so far, to have neglected′ - Young Minds `This book is well written, with a flowing narrative. It provides an excellent coverage of methods and theories in developmental psychology′ - J Gavin Bremner, Department of Psychology, Lancaster University This outstanding textbook presents a comprehensive introduction to developmental psychology that is engaging, yet detailed and thorough. Covering all the major topics in child development, the book offers a grounding in the principles which govern research and theory in contemporary child development, and surveys the theories and research methods which are essential to developing a firm knowledge of the field. Key features include: · Coverage of the child′s ′theory of mind′ under the rubric of social development; · an introduction to ′emotion regulation′ in the chapter on emotional development; · Coverage of some key theories such as ′dynamic systems theory′ and ′evolutionary psychology′. Ideal for students taking a first course in child or lifespan development, the book assumes little or no background in the subject.
