The Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) constitutes a key pillar of
the project of European integration, and the law serves as the
infrastructure of the EU's system of economic governance. This
comprehensive Research Handbook analyses and explains this complex
architecture from a legal point of view and looks ahead to the
challenges it faces and how these can be resolved. Bringing
together contributions from leading academics from across Europe
and top lawyers from several EU institutions, this Research
Handbook is the first to cover all aspects of the Eurozone's legal
ecosystem, including the fiscal, monetary, banking, and capital
markets unions. In doing so, it offers an up-to-date and in depth
assessment of the norms and procedures that underpin EMU, exploring
the latest developments, highlighting the strengths and weaknesses
of the existing framework, and making suggestions for necessary
reform through policy and law. Scholars and advanced students with
an interest in EU economic law will find this Research Handbook to
be an indispensable guide. It will also prove valuable to
policy-makers and legal advisors working in EU institutions, as
well as practitioners in the field and officials in both EU and
national administrations.
The growing diversity of contemporary paid work has provoked
increased interest in understanding and evaluating the quality of
working lives. This Handbook provides critical reflections on
recent research in the field, including examining the inextricable
links between working life and well-being. The Handbook offers
comprehensive support to researchers working in quantitative,
qualitative and mixed methods traditions. Drawing from an
international evidence base, the contributors use examples of
research into key contemporary issues such as the gendered nature
of work, skills mismatch, job insecurity, work-life balance,
flexibility, the gig economy and the physical work environment.
Chapters explore how research methods have been used to investigate
aspects of both paid and unpaid work, raising further questions and
highlighting limitations. The Handbook of Research Methods on the
Quality of Working Lives is an essential resource for all those
involved in areas that study, or touch on, the quality of working
lives which will benefit both new and experienced researchers
inside and outside academia and across disciplines such as
economics, human resource management, psychology and social policy.
Ross Dowling and David Newsome present an original, substantial and
much-needed contribution to the field which will further our
understanding of geotourism in theory and practice. This Handbook
defines, characterizes and explores the subject through a range of
international perspectives and case studies, identifying geotourism
as a rapidly emerging form of urban and regional sustainable
development. With extensive case studies from North and South
America, Europe, Asia, Australasia and Africa, this global Handbook
examines and explains the relationship between geology and tourism.
Thematically arranged sections cover the relationship of geology
with tourism, sustainability and society, geotourism in urban
areas, and interpretation and education strategies. The final two
sections assess geotourism?s impact through wide-ranging case
studies of UNESCO global geoparks and geotourism in a range of
countries. The eminent academics and practitioners demonstrate how
geotourism is a vehicle future for engaging the public and
protecting geosites, as well as emphasising the importance of
sustainability. An essential resource for students and educators,
this Handbook provides an international perspective for those
interested in tourism, environmental geography, ecology and
geology. Written with practitioners in mind, this book reveals how
tourism professionals and geologists can build a common vision by
working together in sharing knowledge at the nexus of geology and
tourism. Contributors include: M. Allan, E. Aparecida Del Lama,

Patterns of Economic Change by State and Area: Income, Employment,
and Gross Domestic Product is a special edition of Business
Statistics of the United States. It presents data on personal
income, employment, and gross domestic product for the United
States as a whole, and by region, state, and metropolitan
statistical area (MSA). Data on personal income and employment
extends back to 1960 for the states and regions and to 1970 for the
MSAs. Patterns of Economic Change complements other Bernan Press
titles such as the State and Metropolitan Area Data Book and County
and City Extra. In contrast to their predominantly current and
detailed cross-section data on states and metropolitan areas, this
book contributes historical time-series measurements of key
aggregates that show how the economies of regions, states, and
metropolitan areas have responded over time to cyclical currents
and long-term trends. Statistics at the state level provide a
framework for analyzing current economic conditions in each state
and can serve as a basis for decision making. For example: Federal
government agencies use the statistics as a basis for allocating
funds and determining matching grants to states. The statistics are
also used in forecasting models to project energy and water use.
State governments use the statistics to project tax revenues and
the need for public services. Academic regional economists use the
statistics for applied research. Businesses, trade associations,
and labor organizations use the statistics for market research.
Designed as a helpful reference tool for both Asian specialists
and students and scholars in the broader fields of diplomatic
history and foreign relations, this comprehensive historical
dictionary contains a series of in-depth essays which describe the
diplomatic, political, and military developments sorrounding the
Korean War. The volume concentrates on the period of conventional
war from the North Korean invasion of South Korea in June 1950
through the signing of the armistice agreement on July 27, 1953,
although key developments prior to the formal outbreak of
hostilities also receive attention. Written by a distinguished
group of contributors from eight countries, the entries cover all
of the significant people, controversies, military operations, and
policy pronouncements of the era.
Entries are arranged in alphabetical order, with cross
references in the text of each to assist users interested in
learning about related items. In certain subject areas entries
appear in groups, such as battles, military operations, United
Nations resolutions, and the activities of major participants, most
notably Douglas MacArthur, Harry S. Truman, and Syngman Rhee.
References at the end of each entry serve as a guide for readers
desiring additional information. Throughout, the dictionary uses
the spelling of Korean and Chinese names common at the time of the
war to minimize confusion among non-specialists. Six appendices
provide statistical information, a personnel summary, a list of
acronyms, a chronology of events, a selection of maps, and a
bibliography. The Historical Dictionary of the Korean War will be
an excellent resource for public and academic libraries,
historians, and students.
Containing newly updated versions of existing entries and adding
several important new entries, this second edition of the Elgar
Encyclopedia of Comparative Law takes stock of present-day
comparative law scholarship. Written by leading authorities in
their respective fields, the contributions in this accessible book
cover and combine not only questions regarding the methodology of
comparative law, but also specific areas of law (such as
administrative law and criminal law) and specific topics (such as
accident compensation and consideration). In addition, the
Encyclopedia contains reports on a selected set of countries' legal
systems and, as a whole, presents an overview of the current state
of affairs. Providing its readers with a unique point of reference,
as well as stimulus for further research, this volume is an
indispensable tool for anyone interested in comparative law,
especially academics, students and practitioners. Contributors: M.

In "The Elements of Cooking, New York Times "bestselling author
Michael Ruhlman deconstructs the essential knowledge of the kitchen
to reveal what professional chefs know only after years of training
and experience. With alphabetically ordered entries and eight
beautifully written essays, Ruhlman outlines what it takes to cook
well: understanding heat, using the right tools, cooking with eggs,
making stock, making sauce, salting food, what a cook should read,
and exploring the most important skill to have in the kitchen,
finesse. "The Elements of Cooking "gives everyone the tools they
need to go from being a good cook to a great one.
The so-called ?'spatial turn?' in the social sciences has led to an
increased interest in what can be called the spatialities of power,
or the ways in which power as a medium for achieving goals is
related to where it takes place. This unique and intriguing
Handbook argues that the spatiality of power is never singular and
easily modeled according to straightforward theoretical
bullet-points, but instead is best approached as plural,
contextually emergent and relational. The Handbook on the
Geographies of Power consists of a series of cutting edge chapters
written by a diverse range of leading geographers working both
within and beyond political geography. It is organized thematically
into the main areas in which contemporary work on the geographies
of power is concentrated: bodies, economy, environment and energy,
and war. The Handbook maintains a careful connection between theory
and empirics, making it a valuable read for students, researchers
and scholars in the fields of political and human geography. It
will also appeal to social scientists more generally who are
interested in contemporary conceptions of power. Contributors

This comprehensive Handbook sets out the nature and scope of
International Human Resource Development (IHRD) to advance our
understanding of research and practice in the field. Drawing on
expertise from a global team representing some of the field's most
distinguished researchers, the Handbook explores a range of
contextual, process and people development practice issues
impacting IHRD research and practice. Focusing on IHRD as a
distinct field of research and practice, the authors offer
comprehensive coverage of a number of critical contextual
dimensions that shape the IHRD goals that organisations pursue;
impact the IHRD systems, policies and practices that are
implemented; and influence the types of IHRD research questions
that are investigated. The Handbook examines the processes or
actions taken by organisations to globalise IHRD practices and
discusses important people development practices that come within
the scope of IHRD. By bringing together a variety of research
strands and engaging in key debates while also acknowledging the
emergent, dynamic and constantly evolving nature of the field, the
authors of this Handbook have created an invaluable resource for
academics, students, professionals and practitioners in IHRD, HRD,
HRM, international management, organisational behaviour and
leadership. Contributors: M. Alagaraja, H. Alhejji, V. Anderson, A.

Sherman Folland and Eric Nauenberg present the cutting-edge of
research covering the ever-expanding social capital field. With
excellent contributions from leading academics, the Elgar Companion
to Social Capital and Health offers a developed examination of new
research across sociology, epidemiology, economics, psychology and
political science. Authors from across North America, Europe and
Asia provide wide-ranging and detailed accounts of social capital
and health, focusing on social networks, causality and
productivity. Sections cover theoretical perspectives and empirical
evidence supporting the connection between social capital and
health worldwide. Authors discuss ageing, immigration, religion and
workplace health, as well as focusing on social capital in
developing countries experiencing rapid and extensive economic
growth. Essential reading for any aspirational social capital and
health policy academic, this Companion offers future paths for
research within sociology, health economics, epidemiology,
political science and social policy. The breadth of study would
also benefit public health officials, policy analysts and
healthcare decision-makers. Contributors include: S.R. Ali, N.D.

Susan Dobscha and the authors in this Handbook provide a primer and
resource for scholars and practitioners keen to develop or enhance
their understanding of how gender permeates marketing decisions,
consumer experiences, public policy initiatives, and market
practices. This Handbook's main objective is to provide a roadmap
through the complicated terrain of gender as it pertains to
marketing and consumer behavior. The author also highlights that
the study of gender is not restricted to certain theories, methods,
or approaches. The unifying conclusion is that the study of gender
is an important topic that has not received the attention it
deserves within the marketing discipline; and attention to gender
is crucial now more than ever. This book will give marketing
scholars the guidance they need to incorporate the topic of gender
into their research by highlighting the current conversations that
are taking place in the field of marketing, and more importantly by
illuminating the gap in which more scholarship is necessary to
increase our understanding of gender complexities. Contributors
