First published in 1991, The Dictionary of Contemporary Politics of
Central America and the Caribbean provides a guide to the most
important organizations, figures, events and themes in the
contemporary politics of Central America, Mexico, and the
Caribbean. The countries covered include Mexico, Guatamala, Belize,
Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Cuba,
Dominican Republic, Haiti, Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados,
Grenada, St Vincent, St Lucia, Dominica, St Kitt's-Nevis, Antigua
and Puerto Rico. The background information supplied in the book
explains how, for many in Central America, the guerrilla wars have
merely been the intensification of a conflict previously fought by
the likes of Nicaragua's Sandino or the Salvadorean Farabundo
Marti, and before them by the Indian leaders who resisted the
Spanish settlement. Although first published in 1991, this book
will be a valuable resource for journalists, students, diplomats,
business people, and anyone else who is interested in the politics
of this richly diverse continent.

How does our faith affect how we think about and respond to climate
change? Climate Politics and the Power of Religion is an edited
collection that explores the diverse ways that religion shapes
climate politics at the local, national, and international levels.
Drawing on case studies from across the globe, it stands at the
intersection of religious studies, environment policy, and global
politics. From small island nations confronting sea-level rise and
intensifying tropical storms to high-elevation communities in the
Andes and Himalayas wrestling with accelerating glacial melt, there
is tremendous variation in the ways that societies draw on religion
to understand and contend with climate change. Climate Politics and
the Power of Religion offers 10 timely case studies that
demonstrate how different communities render climate change within
their own moral vocabularies and how such moral claims find
purchase in activism and public debates about climate policy.
Whether it be Hindutva policymakers in India, curanderos in Peru,
or working-class people's concerns about the transgressions of
petroleum extraction in Trinidad—religion affects how they all
are making sense of and responding to this escalating global
catastrophe.
This work contains a Foreword by Merrill Goozner, Author and
Director, Integrity in Science, Center for Science and the Public
Interest, Washington DC. This book exposes why healthcare costs
have been rapidly increasing and includes a close examination of
over-priced drugs. It contains a detailed explanation of how the
drug industry takes billions of dollars from society each year and
proposes radical new ideas to reign in excessive spending on
medicine. Based on the latest research, its unique approach takes
into account the pharmaceutical industry, healthcare policy and
society to offer a wide ranging account. It is invaluable for all
healthcare professionals, especially managers and doctors and
nurses with budgetary responsibilities. It will also be useful for
researchers, policy makers and shapers, pharmaceutical company
executives and general readers with an interest in medical
expenditure. "While most discussions about the fiscal problems
caused by aging societies have focused on pensions and income
security, the more serious landmine in the road ahead is
health-care finance, which will be in full-blown crisis sometime
early in the next decade. That's why this book is timely. Until we
learn to talk openly and honestly about what constitutes good
health, good health care, and the best and most cost-effective way
of achieving both, we'll never have an affordable health-care
system." - Merrill Goozner, in the Foreword.
2093, Neo York. A dystopian technological marvel, where concrete
high-rises brim with holographic neon, as gilded mob bosses, flashy
CEOs, and famous vid-stars all strive to consolidate their power
over the masses. And while the rain reflects the neon, it never
washes away the grime and filth of the streets. Welcome to a world
of synth-jazz and cybernetics, where the status quo grinds down the
hard-working man and vat-grown clone alike. Whether you're the
redemption-seeking gangster, the one good cop in a corrupt system,
or the gene-modded musician trying to make it big, you'll be trying
to get by in a city that just doesn't care. Epic fight scenes take
centre stage in this game of stylised, high-octane bloodshed. Jump
straight into the action with a unique ruleset designed to deliver
a cinematic, neon-noir experience, as the spotlight focuses on the
brutal showdowns that will define you - or leave you face-down in
the dirt. So get ready to give them hell, as the sultry notes of
the saxophone build into a crescendo of violence.
Following the Brexit vote, this book offers a timely historical
assessment of the different ways that Britain's economic future has
been imagined and how British ideas have influenced global debates
about market relationships over the past two centuries. The 2016 EU
referendum hinged to a substantial degree on how competing visions
of the UK should engage with foreign markets, which in turn were
shaped by competing understandings of Britain's economic past. The
book considers the following inter-related questions: - What roles
does economic imagination play in shaping people's behaviour and
how far can insights from behavioural economics be applied to
historical issues of market selection? - How useful is the concept
of the 'official mind' for explaining the development of market
relationships? - What has been the relationship between expanding
communications and the development of markets? - How and why have
certain regions or groupings (e.g. the Commonwealth) been
'unimagined'- losing their status as promising markets for the
future?

Andrew Thompson, Norman J. Temple We humans are an extraordinary
species. One of our finest achievements is the development of
morality, of a sense of right and wrong. We articulate and then
impose this sensitivity upon ourselves in the form of ethical
guidelines, rules, regulations, and laws. We have, regrettably,
also developed marvelously clever ways of justifying our behavior
whenever it runs afoul of these prescriptions. We have, for
example, developed the concept of objectivity to guide scientific
pursuits and subsequently established rights which undermine the
possibility of ever coming close to attaining the goal of being
objective -- rights which entitle participating scientists to gain
personal, tangible profits from scientific discoveries. Formerly,
we envisaged gods who kept us in place, who reminded us that we
were not all-powerful or especially wise. Now we tend to worship
our achievements, especially our technological ones, and ourselves.
Mary Midgley' aptly names this phenomenon, "humanolatry." We have
lost our respect for nature in our enthusiasm for changing it to
that which suits our shortsighted ends. We must, as she says,
"unlearn" this way of thinking.

Echinococcus and Echinococcosis Part A and B present a complete
synthesis on what is known about the parasitic cestode echinococcus
and the disease it causes, echinococcosis (Hydatid Disease), also
demonstrating that in addition to its medical, veterinary, and
economic significance, it is an intriguing biological phenomenon.
Both parts build on the success of a previous volume, Echinococcus
and Hydatid Disease, edited by R.C.A. Thompson and A.J. Lymbery,
and published by CAB International, that details the major advances
that have taken place since its release. As such, it remains the
only comprehensive account that embraces virtually all aspects of
echinococcus and the disease it causes. The links between
laboratory knowledge and field applications are emphasized
throughout the volumes. Consequently, research workers, teachers,
students of parasitology, clinicians, and field workers will find
this work an indispensable source of information.

This book appraises the critical contribution of the Studies in
Imperialism series to the writing of imperial histories as the
series passes its 100th publication. The volume brings together
some of the most distinguished scholars writing today to explore
the major intellectual trends in Imperial history, with a
particular focus on the cultural readings of empire that have
flourished over the last generation. When the Studies in
Imperialism series was founded, the discipline of Imperial history
was at what was probably its lowest ebb. A quarter of a century on,
there has been a tremendous broadening of the scope of what the
study of empire encompasses. Essays in the volume consider ways in
which the series and the wider historiography have sought to
reconnect British and imperial histories; to lay bare the cultural
expressions and registers of colonial power; and to explore the
variety of experiences the home population derived from the empire.

Cultures of decolonisation combines studies of visual, literary and
material cultures in order to explore the complexities of the 'end
of empire' as a process. Where other accounts focus on high
politics and constitutional reform, this volume reveals the diverse
ways in which cultures contributed to wider political, economic and
social change. This book demonstrates the transnational character
of decolonisation, thereby illustrating the value of comparison -
between different cultural forms and diverse places - in
understanding the nature of this wide-reaching geopolitical change.
Individual chapters focus on architecture, theatre, museums,
heritage sites, fine art and interior design, alongside
institutions such as artists' groups, language agencies and the
Royal Mint, across Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Europe. Offering
a range of disciplinary perspectives, these contributions provide
revealing case studies for those researching decolonisation across
the humanities and social sciences.
Over 400 intriguing, entertaining, and often hilarious etymological
journey The English language is riddled with phrases that are
complete nonsense. Ever met "a monkey's uncle," seen a "red-handed"
thief, or "put a sock in it" when asked? You knows the real meaning
of these common expressions, but do you know where, why, and how
these idioms entered America's vernacular in the first place? Hair
of the Dog to Paint the Town Red uncovers and explains the amazing
and bizarre origins of 400 such phrases. Breezy and fun to read,
this book of word trivia is far from being just an etymological
dictionary. As if he were unraveling 400 little mysteries, the
author reveals the backstory of each expression and tells how
they've gained their new meanings. For example, you will enjoy
following the exploits of the Marquis of Waterford. Was it the Mad
Marquis' drunken excess and paint-brush wielding fun in the town of
Melton Mowbray that inspired so many to "paint the town red" even
today? This question and many others will be answered within.
The essays in this volume have been written by leading experts in
their respective fields and bring together established scholars
with a new generation of migration and transnational historians.
Their work weaves together the 'new' imperial and the 'new'
migration histories, and is essential reading for scholars and
students interested in the interplay of migration within and
between the local, regional, imperial, and transnational arenas.
Furthermore, these essays set an important analytical benchmark for
more integrated and comparative analyses of the range of migratory
processes - free and coerced - which together impacted on the
dynamics of power, forms of cultural circulation and making of
ethnicities across a British imperial world. -- .
