For all their spectacular growth, China and India must still lift a hundred million citizens out of poverty and create jobs for the numerous laborers. Both powers hope trade and investment will sustain national unity. For the first time, Jonathan Holslag identifies these objectives as new sources of rivalry and argues that China and India cannot grow without fierce contest.Though he recognizes that both countries wish to maintain stable relations, Holslag argues that success in implementing economic reform will give way to conflict. This rivalry is already tangible in Asia as a whole, where shifting patterns of economic influence have altered the balance of power and have led to shortsighted policies that undermine regional stability. Holslag also demonstrates that despite two decades of peace, mutual perceptions have become hostile, and a military game of tit-for-tat promises to diminish prospects for peace. Holslag therefore refutes the notion that development and interdependence lead to peace, and he does so by embedding rich empirical evidence within broader debates on international relations theory.His book is down-to-earth and realistic while also taking into account the complexities of internal policymaking. The result is a fascinating portrait of the complicated interaction among economic, political, military, and perceptional levels of diplomacy.

Evolutionary biology has witnessed breathtaking advances in recent years. Some of its most exciting insights have come from the crossover of disciplines as varied as paleontology, molecular biology, ecology, and genetics. This book brings together many of today's pioneers in evolutionary biology to describe the latest advances and explain why a cross-disciplinary and integrated approach to research questions is so essential.Contributors discuss the origins of biological diversity, mechanisms of evolutionary change at the molecular and developmental levels, morphology and behavior, and the ecology of adaptive radiations and speciation. They highlight the mutual dependence of organisms and their environments, and reveal the different strategies today's researchers are using in the field and laboratory to explore this interdependence. Peter and Rosemary Grant--renowned for their influential work on Darwin's finches in the Galßpagos--provide concise introductions to each section and identify the key questions future research needs to address.In addition to the editors, the contributors are Myra Awodey, Christopher N. Balakrishnan, Rowan D. H. Barrett, May R. Berenbaum, Paul M. Brakefield, Philip J. Currie, Scott V. Edwards, Douglas J. Emlen, Joshua B. Gross, Hopi E.

In Het Huis der Wijsheid maken we kennis met Arabische geleerden als al-Khwarizmi, een pionier in de algebra, met Avicenna, de beroemde arts en filosoof, met Gaber, die de scheikunde verder ontwikkelde, en Averroes, die door zijn bijdragen aan de logica van Aristoteles bekend staat als ‘de commentator’.Terwijl de Kruistochten een aanvang namen, reisde een handvol westerse geleerden naar het Oosten om kennis te maken met hun Arabische collega’s en met hun werk, dat slechts mondjesmaat in het Westen was doorgedrongen. Zo keerde de nieuwsgierige monnik Adelard van Bath van Klein-Azië naar Engeland terug met manuscripten van Euclides over astronomie en wiskunde die het aanzien van de Europese wetenschappen ingrijpend zouden veranderen. Honderd jaar later, in 1209, reisde Michael Scotus naar Palermo en zou hij de christelijke wereld versteld doen staan met zijn vertalingen van Plato, Averroes en Avicenna. De vernieuwende ideeën van deze en andere geleerden lagen aan de basis van onze Renaissance.Jonathan Lyons studeerde geschiedenis en Russisch en werkte ruim twintig jaar als redacteur en correspondent voor Reuters, hoofdzakelijk in islamitische landen. Hij is nu verbonden aan de Monash Universiteit in Melbourne.

This work sets out to depose the sacred icon of the "eternal bard" and argue for a Shakespeare who meditates and exploits political, cultural and ideological forces. Ten years on, this second edition presents additional essays by Jonathan Dollimore and Alan Sinfield.
This long-awaited third volume of Jonathan Sumption's monumental history of the war narrates the period from 1369 to 1393, marked by the slow decline of English fortunes and the subsequent rise of French ones.
English Literature: A Very Short Introduction discusses why literature matters, how narrative works, and what is distinctly English about English literature. Jonathan Bate considers how we determine the content of the field, and looks at the three major kinds of imaginative literature - English poetry, English drama and The English novel.
Jonathan Couch (1789-1870), surgeon apothecary of Polperro, was one of the pioneering natural historians of his day, paving the way for others such as Darwin and Huxley to follow. This account of his life and work tells the story of a man who, born in humble circumstances, rose to become one of the leading natural scientists of the 19th century.

'This delightful book will be important to those researchers eager to extend their knowledge of qualitative research generally but specifically those keen to extend their research practice from a social-science perspective' - Nurse Researcher 'This is an excellent collection at the cutting edge of thinking about qualitative research...The breadth of coverage and the sophistication of the discussion make this an important addition to the increasing literature on qualitative work' - Jonathan Potter, Loughborough University 'This book is likely to have a broad appeal to a rising generation of qualitative researchers seeking to relate theoretical debates to methodological practice' - Clive Seale, Goldsmiths College This exciting new book brings together contributions from world-leading scholars as well as younger researchers and focuses on cutting-edge issues related to the practice of qualitative research in the field. It provides a forum for contributors to discuss the issues and processes which inform qualitative research in its various forms as based on fieldwork experiences.In achieving this in an accessible manner to both practising students and researchers, it seeks to enable a dialogue over ideas and provide the reader with a 'state of the art' overview of the topic from a contemporary perspective.Rather than being a 'how to do' book, this volume should prove vitally useful for advanced students and researchers who wish to engage with those ideas and practices in terms of their applicability for an understanding and explanation of the place of qualitative research in the social sciences. It is also a forum in which leading scholars make an original contribution to the subject. Lively and highly readable throughout, Qualitative Research in Action will be essential reading for advanced undergraduates and above in a variety of disciplines, as well as researchers who wish to engage with contemporary ideas and practices in relation to qualitative research.

Magisch door het leven – William Whitecloud oktober 2010Een fascinerend verhaal dat moeilijk weg te leggen is en de lezer nog lang bijblijft. Het is een verhaal met de betovering van een sprookje, de spanning van een thriller en de lessen van een eerste klas managementboek. Mark Vale probeert zich overeind te houden in de financiële wereld en in zijn gezin. Hij gaat terug naar de stad waar hij vroeger werkte. Daar neemt zijn leven een adembenemende wending. Een bijzondere golfles zet de toon voor een snelle reeks gebeurtenissen en ontmoetingen die hem steeds dichter bij zijn doel brengen. Hij komt in contact met een wel heel bijzondere handelaar op de beurs, uiterst zwoele serveersters in een trendy restaurant voor macho’s, een indrukwekkende miljardair en anderen die hem op ontnuchterende, schokkende en overtuigende manieren leren vertrouwen op wat hij in zijn hart aanvoelt. Dat geeft hem uiteindelijk de kracht om magisch door het leven te gaan en zijn problemen aan te pakken. In het verhaal opgenomen: de zeven magische geheimen. William Whitecloud groeide op in Afrika en woont tegenwoordig in Byron Bay in Australië. Hij is oprichter van Living from Greatness, een programma waarmee hij mensen coacht in vaak langdurig verband. Hij is onder meer geïnspireerd door Robert Fritz (van ‘De weg van de minste weerstand’). Magisch door het leven is zijn eerste boek. ‘Magisch door het leven is een uitzonderlijk goed boek. Ik zie het als een soort Jonathan Livingston Seagull, maar dan op anabole steroïden!’ Paul Dunn, voorzittter B1G1‘Een buitengewoon boek, het opent je hart en is fantastisch om te lezen’. Brandon Bays, auteur van ‘The Journey’. ‘Je hoeft er niet, zoals James Redfield, voor naar Peru. Dit doe je hier en nu!’ Bhagawati Morriss, onderzoeker in Bali
Writers have represented 9/11 and its aftermath with varying degrees of success. In Out of the Blue, Kristiaan Versluys focuses on novels that move beyond patriotic cliches and cheap sensationalism and provide new insights into the emotional and ethical impact of these traumatic events& mdash;and what it means to depict them. Versluys focuses on Don DeLillo's Falling Man, Art Spiegelman's In the Shadow of No Towers, Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Frederic Beigbeder's Windows on the World, and John Updike's Terrorist. He scrutinizes how these writers affirm the humanity of the disoriented individual, as opposed to the cocksure killer or politician, and retranslate hesitation, stuttering, or stammering into a precarious act of defiance. Versluys also discusses works by Ian McEwan, Anita Shreve, Martin Amis, and Michael Cunningham, arguing for the novel's distinct power in rendering the devastation of 9/11.
Analyzes Jonathan Edwards' redemptive mode of historical thought in the context of the Enlightenment. This book considers Edwards' historical thought as a reaction, in part, to the varieties of Enlightenment historical narratives and their growing disregard for theistic considerations.
Although the Iliad and Odyssey narrate only relatively small portions of the Trojan War and its aftermath, for centuries these works have overshadowed other, more comprehensive narratives of the conflict, particularly the poems known as the Epic Cycle. Jonathan Burgess challenges Homer's authority on the war's history and the legends surrounding it, placing the Iliad and Odyssey in the larger, often overlooked context of the entire body of Greek epic poetry of the Archaic Age. He traces the development and transmission of the Cyclic poems in ancient Greek culture, comparing them to later Homeric poems and finding that they were far more influential than has previously been thought.
The world is urbanizing faster than current city design practices can sustain, climate change has introduced a new dynamism into what once appeared to be a stable environment, and -- with effective city design more important than ever - there are controversies and uncertainties about the best way to manage unprecedented urban growth and change. City Design describes the history and current practice of the four most widely accepted approaches to city design: the Modernist city of towers and highways that, beginning in the 1920s, has come to dominate urban development worldwide but is criticized as mechanical and soul-less; the Traditional organization of cities as streets and public places, scorned by the modernists, but being revived today for its human scale; Green city design, whose history can be traced back thousands of years in Asia, but is becoming increasingly important everywhere as sustainability and the preservation of the planet are recognized as basic issues, and finally Systems city design, which includes infrastructure and development regulation but also includes computer aided techniques which give designers new tools for managing the complexity of cities.Jonathan Barnett is a well-known, widely-experienced city design practitioner who also teaches and writes about city design. He writes authoritatively but accessibly about complicated issues of theory and practice, and his approach is objective and inclusive. This is a comprehensive text on city design ideal for planners, landscape architects, urban designers and those who want to understand how to improve cities.

De Armeense vervolging wordt beschouwd als de eerste volkerenmoord in de Twintigste eeuw en is de afgelopen jaren zowel in de wetenschap als in het publieke debat in belang toegenomen. Toch is er over de langdurige gevolgen van deze 'vergeten genocide' weinig bekend. Hoe be´nvloedt zo 'n gebeurtenis het wereldbeeld, de politieke standpunten en het dagelijkse leven van de slachtoffers en hoe gaan de overlevenden en nabestaanden hiermee om? Anthonie Holslag geeft door middel van historische documenten, ooggetuigenverslagen, interviews, levensverhalen en secundaire bronnen antwoorden op deze vragen en schetst daarbij een beeld van een getraumatiseerde bevolkingsgroep wiens identiteit geheel door de genocide is doordrenkt. De analyse van de auteur is uitermate actueel. Het biedt namelijk openingen om het genocidale proces op een ander niveau te bestuderen en geeft tegelijkertijd de mogelijkheid om andere bevolkingsgroepen die zo een afschuwelijke gebeurtenis overleefd hebben - denk aan de overlevenden en nabestaanden van de geweldplegingen in Rwanda, Darfur, BosniÙ Herzegovina, maar ook de Holocaust - beter te begrijpen en hun gedragingen, ideeÙn en politieke standpunten beter te verklaren.'Genocide is meer', zo stelt hij, 'dan een politieke en misdadige gebeurtenis. Het is tevens een symbolische handeling die een specifieke betekenis met zich meedraagt.' Een betekenis die de slachtoffers en overlevenden in hun zelfbeeld integreren.
Krog captures the complexity of South Africa's Truth and Reconcilliation Commission in a personal narrative, taking the reader beneath the big movements of the Truth Commission and beyond, into the heart of what it means to be a South African today. Originally published by Jonathan Cape.
Across America today gated communities sprawl out from urban centers, employers enforce mandatory drug testing, and schools screen students with metal detectors. Social problems ranging from welfare dependency to educational inequality have been reconceptualized as crimes, with an attendant focus on assigning fault and imposing consequences. Even before the recent terrorist attacks, non-citizen residents had become subject to an increasingly harsh regime of detention and deportation, and prospective employees subjected to background checks. How and when did our everyday world become dominated by fear, every citizen treated as a potential criminal? In this startlingly original work, Jonathan Simon traces this pattern back to the collapse of the New Deal approach to governing during the 1960s when declining confidence in expert-guided government policies sent political leaders searching for new models of governance. The War on Crime offered a ready solution to their problem: politicians set agendas by drawing analogies to crime and redefined the ideal citizen as a crime victim, one whose vulnerabilities opened the door to overweening government intervention.By the 1980s, this transformation of the core powers of government had spilled over into the institutions that govern daily life. Soon our schools, our families, our workplaces, and our residential communities were being governed through crime. This powerful work concludes with a call for passive citizens to become engaged partners in the management of risk and the treatment of social ills. Only by coming together to produce security, can we free ourselves from a logic of domination by others, and from the fear that currently rules our everyday life.

Tracing attacks on free speech from Plato's Republic to America's campuses and newsrooms, Jonathan Rauch provides an engaging and provocative attack on those who would limit free thought by restricting free speech. Rauch explores how the system for producing knowledge works in a liberal society, and why it has now become the object of a powerful ideological attack. Moving beyond the First Amendment, he defends the morality, rather than the legality, of an intellectual regime that relies on unfettered and often hurtful criticism. Kindly Inquisitors is a refreshing and vibrant essay, casting a provocative light on the raging debates over political correctness and multiculturalism.
Writers have represented 9/11 and its aftermath with varying degrees of success. In Out of the Blue, Kristiaan Versluys focuses on novels that move beyond patriotic cliches and cheap sensationalism and provide new insights into the emotional and ethical impact of these traumatic events& mdash;and what it means to depict them. Versluys focuses on Don DeLillo's Falling Man, Art Spiegelman's In the Shadow of No Towers, Jonathan Safran Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close, Frederic Beigbeder's Windows on the World, and John Updike's Terrorist. He scrutinizes how these writers affirm the humanity of the disoriented individual, as opposed to the cocksure killer or politician, and retranslate hesitation, stuttering, or stammering into a precarious act of defiance. Versluys also discusses works by Ian McEwan, Anita Shreve, Martin Amis, and Michael Cunningham, arguing for the novel's distinct power in rendering the devastation of 9/11.

ind zeventiende eeuw verschijnen tien Nederlandse romans waarin allerlei randfiguren vertellen over hun leven aan de onderkant van de maatschappij. De vertellers slaan twee vliegen in één klap: zij kunnen breeduit over seks schrijven en hun kritiek op de hypocriete maatschappij spuien. Het woord is aan de onderkant onderzoekt waarom juist aan het einde van de zeventiende eeuw bij Nederlandse auteurs (en lezers) interesse ontstond voor pornografie. De gematigde brave burger maakt in deze studie korte tijd plaats voor de radicale libertijn, die heilige huisjes omver trapt en de onderkant bovenhaalt.'Seks is goed voor de ziel, zo werd betoogd, en dus leidraad voor het zedelijk leven. Met die opvatting kreeg het primaat van religie als levensbeschouwing het zwaar te verduren.'Jonathan Israel in NRC Handelsblad
