Amacher, Markku Ollikainen, Erkki A. Koskela Publisher: The MIT Press | ISBN: 0262012480 | edition 2009 | PDF | 448 pages | 1,65 mb The field of forest economics has expanded rapidly in the last two decades, and yet there exists no up-to-date textbook for advanced undergraduate-graduate level use or rigorous reference work for professionals. Economics of Forest Resources fills these gaps, offering a comprehensive technical survey of the field with special attention to recent developments regarding policy instrument choice and uncertainty. It covers all areas in which mathematical models have been used to explain forest owner and user incentives and government behavior, introducing the reader to the rigor needed to think through the consequences of policy instruments. Technically difficult concepts are presented with a unified and progressive approach; an appendix outlines the basic concepts from calculus needed to understand the models and results developed. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LK74XYNH http://depositfiles.com/files/o9v663fs1 ============== Johanna Wyn, Rob White - Rethinking Youth Allen & Unwin | 1997 | ISBN: 1864481625 | Pages: 184 | PDF | 5.29 MB Challenging the conventional wisdom surrounding the position and opportunities of young people today, Rethinking Youth offers a provocative critique of the mainstream conceptions of youth, the programs and strategies designed for "at-risk" young people, and policy development in youth affairs. The authors demonstrate how the concept of youth involves a tension between the social significance of age, which gives young people a common status, and the significance of other social divisions. Drawing upon studies from different societies, they examine debates surrounding youth and economy, youth development, youth subcultures, youth transitions, and youth marginalization. Rethinking Youth calls for a greater sensitivity to the complexities of youth, and greater emphasis on democracy and equality in dealing with the problems experienced by young people in a rapidly changing world. A thoughtful examination of today's youth, Rethinking Youth is a relevant study for academics and students in family studies, social work, and sociology. http://saveqube.com/getfile/0396e30b8ac0abfe6b2681af628cf2fb9bd93c5d81637cff53/ee04.rar.html http://rapidshare.com/files/226506711/ee04.rar ==================== David H. Bailey, Jonathan M. Borwein, Victor Moll, Roland Girgensohn, Neil Calkin "Experimental Mathematics in Action" A K Peters, Ltd. | 2007-06-04 | ISBN: 156881271X | 200 pages | PDF | 3,5 MB The last twenty years have been witness to a fundamental shift in the way mathematics is practiced. With the continued advance of computing power and accessibility, the view that real mathematicians don't compute no longer has any traction for a newer generation of mathematicians that can really take advantage of computer-aided research, especially given the scope and availability of modern computational packages such as Maple, Mathematica, and MATLAB. The authors provide a coherent variety of accessible examples of modern mathematics subjects in which intelligent computing plays a significant role. http://saveqube.com/getfile/03369cee53eb4fce8a8c91861a4479e105642ec0d6850d70e1/156881271X.rar.html http://www.megaupload.com/?d=TPFQU777 ==================== China in the World Economy (Routledge Studies on the Chinese Economy) By Zhongmin Wu Publisher: Routledge | ISBN: 0415470021 | edition 2009 | PDF | 344 pages | 2,79 mb This book, based on extensive original research by a wide range of leading experts, examines many key issues connected to China's economic growth and its impact.

Caldwell - American Narcissism: The Myth of National Superiority Algora Publishing | 2006 | ISBN: 0875864678 | Pages: 196 | PDF | 5.92 MB Nationalism is not unique to America: it was invented with the birth of modern nations. But nationalism is unique in America. Americans conceive themselves and their nation to be incontrovertibly superior to the other peoples and nations of the earth. When does national pride cross the invisible boundary that separates benign patriotism and malignant nationalism? Americans have much to be proud of, but national pride can cross the invisible boundary that separates benign patriotism and malignant nationalism. The author surveys the evolution of Americans grandiose view of themselves and the contrasting impression created in the wider world. Historically, American notions of superiority spring from myths of the unique regenerative power of the new land; from visions of chosen-ness, mission and high destiny; from the indelible legends of frontier self-sufficiency; from the confidence and self-reliance needed to succeed as immigrants; from a powerful sense of America s isolation and uniqueness; from the realization of abundance; and finally from the perceived universality of American ideology. This predisposes us to a distinctively virulent strain of nationalism unlike that found in almost any other modern nation. As the unipolar moment fades into memory, this sense of unquestionable superiority expressed through politics and foreign policy does not play well before the global audience. In fact, it never did. Drawing on sources from within the academic disciplines of history, sociology, political science and foreign affairs, the book seeks to decode scholarly jargon and lay bare this corner of the American mind for the benefit of a wider readership. The discussion is organized in four parts: Nationalism, The Evolution of the American Superiority Myth, The Presumption of National Superiority, Tolerance And Plurality In America today, notions of national superiority are far more deeply ingrained and far more potentially ruinous than most of us imagine. This is a journey that slides from reason to emotion, from individual liberty to mass tyranny, and from humanity to inhumanity. This book will interest readers of US history, current events, and social commentary; and all who wonder, Why do they hate us? http://rapidshare.com/files/226902298/dd17.rar http://uploading.com/files/DAC0DVAD/dd17.rar.html http://hotfile.com/dl/786736/03a5591/dd17.rar.html ================== Roger Simpson - Covering Violence: A Guide to Ethical Reporting About Victims And Trauma Columbia University Press | 2006 | ISBN: 0231133928 | Pages: 295 | PDF | 5.24 MB Reporting on violence is one of the most problematic features of journalistic practice-the area most frequently criticized by the public and those on the receiving end of that coverage. Now in its second edition, Covering Violence remains a crucial guide for becoming a sensitive and responsible reporter. Discussing such topics as rape and the ethics of interviewing children, the book gives students and journalists a detailed understanding of what is happening "on the scene" of a violent event, including where a reporter can go safely and legally, how to obtain the most useful information, and how best to interview and photograph victims and witnesses. This second edition takes our turbulent postmillennium history into account and emphasizes the consequences of frequent exposure to traumatic events. It offers new chapters on 9/11 and terrorism, the Columbine school shootings, and the photographing of violent events, as well as additional profiles of Vietnamese American, Native American, and African American journalists. More essential than ever, Covering Violence connects journalistic practices to the rapidly expanding body of literature on trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, and secondary traumatic stress, and pays close attention to current medical and political debates concerning victims' rights. http://rapidshare.com/files/225306885/ww06.rar ================ God's Choice: Pope Benedict XVI and the Future of the Catholic Church Publisher: HarperCollins | ISBN: 0066213312 | edition 2005 | PDF | 320 pages | 1,02 mb George Weigel's bestselling biography of Pope John Paul II, Witness to Hope, set the standard by which all portraits of the modern papacy are now measured. With God's Choice, he gives us an extraordinary chronicle of the rise of Pope Benedict XVI as well as an unflinching view of the Catholic Church at the dawn of a new era. When John Paul II lapsed into illness for the last time, people flocked from all over the world to pray outside his apartment. He had become a father figure to millions in a world bereft of strong paternal examples, and those millions now felt orphaned. After more than twenty-six years of John Paul II's guidance, the Catholic Church is entering a new age, with its bedrock traditions intact but with pressing questions to address in a rapidly changing world. Beginning with the story of John Paul's final months, God's Choice offers a remarkable inside account of the conclave that produced Benedict XVI as the next pope, drawing on George Weigel's unrivaled access to this complex event. Weigel also incisively surveys the current state of the Church around the world: its thriving populations in Africa, Latin America, and parts of the post-communist world; its collapse in western Europe; its continued struggles in Asia; and the vibrancy of many aspects of Catholic life in the United States, even as the Church in America struggles to overcome its recent experience of scandal. Reflecting on John Paul II's greatness, drawing on firsthand interviews to paint an intimate portrait of the new Pope, and boldly assessing the Church's current condition, God's Choice is an invaluable book for anyone seeking to understand the Catholic future and the larger human future the Church will help to shape. http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FWSFU2YM
