C Lo
R1,522 Discovery Miles 15 220 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Conventional analytical tool kits often do not work in China due to its strong idiosyncrasies and opaque system. Using rigorous economic analysis, backed by solid data and accounts of real life experiences, this book twists conventional wisdom to drive the thinking about China 'outside the box'. Many books on China are long on volume but short on thoughts. This book is the opposite. It dispels China's economic myths and probes deep into the hidden forces that drive China's economic future.

C Lo
R3,455 Discovery Miles 34 550 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Until recently the world has been relying on the US dollar and the Euro to lubricate the flow of global trade and finance. A newcomer, the Renminbi (RMB) or Chinese Yuan, joined the global monetary system in 2000. The rise of the RMB is both an indicator and a result of the evolution in the global macro landscape that shifts economic weight from the developed markets, led by Europe, Japan and the US, to the emerging markets, led by China.Research on RMB internationalisation is difficult because events have been unfolding fast, with frequent shifting regulations. Most financial market research is sales-driven, shallow and without serious investigation into the structural underpinning of events. Most crucially, there has been insufficient systematic research on the structural realities behind the RMB internationalisation exercise. No-one has openly questioned the credibility of the RMB as an international currency. This is the first book to address these issues by focusing on the structural factors behind the rise of the RMB. It uses a critical approach, questioning conventional wisdom and the status quo to anslyse China's currency ambition in the post-subprime world. Discussions combine rigorous research thoughts, data, facts and economic logic with real world issues to elaborate on the arguments and make them reader-friendly.

This is the first book to put together Asia and the developed world in the subprime crisis context and to combine macro and micro analysis to draw lessons from it.

Making Classroom Discussions Work - Methods for Quality Dialogue in the Social Studies (Paperback): Jane C Lo Making Classroom Discussions Work - Methods for Quality Dialogue in the Social Studies (Paperback)
Jane C Lo; Wayne Journell, Diana E. Hess
R1,194 R1,028 Discovery Miles 10 280 Save R166 (14%) Ships in 12 - 19 working days

For the last 2 decades, the field of social studies education has seen an increase in research on the use of discussions as an essential instructional technique. This book examines the importance of using quality dialogue as a tool to help students understand complex issues in social studies classrooms. The author provides a collection of well-known, evidence-based discussion techniques as well as classroom examples showing the methods in use. While the benefits of using discussion as an instructional method is widely considered a best practice of civic learning, actual high-quality discussions are rare and notoriously difficult to facilitate. Making Classroom Discussions Work is designed to guide teacher educators and classroom teachers in facilitating equitable and productive discussions that will boost learning and democratic engagement.Book Features: Emphasizes the rationale for using discussion in social studies teaching. Collects strategies that have been proposed in disparate journal articles and books in one convenient volume. Presents research-based challenges and supports for conducting and assessing discussions in the social studies. Includes methods and tips to help teachers make discussions more equitable in their classrooms.

Neurobiology of Huntington's Disease - Applications to Drug Discovery (Paperback): Donald C. Lo, Robert E. Hughes Neurobiology of Huntington's Disease - Applications to Drug Discovery (Paperback)
Donald C. Lo, Robert E. Hughes
R2,517 Discovery Miles 25 170 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

In 1993, the genetic mutation responsible for Huntington's disease (HD) was identified. Considered a milestone in human genomics, this discovery has led to nearly two decades of remarkable progress that has greatly increased our knowledge of HD, and documented an unexpectedly large and diverse range of biochemical and genetic perturbations that seem to result directly from the expression of the mutant huntingtin gene. Neurobiology of Huntington's Disease: Applications to Drug Discovery presents a thorough review of the issues surrounding drug discovery and development for the treatment of this paradigmatic neurodegenerative disease. Drawing on the expertise of key researchers in the field, the book discusses the basic neurobiology of Huntington's disease and how its monogenic nature confers enormous practical advantages for translational research, including the creation of robust experimental tools, models, and assays to facilitate discovery and validation of molecular targets and drug candidates for HD. Written to support future basic research as well as drug development efforts, this volume: Covers the latest research approaches in genetics, genomics, and proteomics, including high-throughput and high-content screening Highlights advances in the discovery and development of new drug therapies for neurodegenerative disorders Examines the practical realities of preclinical testing, clinical testing strategies, and, ultimately, clinical usage While the development of effective drug treatments for Huntington's disease continues to be tremendously challenging, a highly interactive and cooperative community of researchers and clinical investigators now brings us to the threshold of potential breakthroughs in the quest for therapeutic agents. The impressive array of drug discovery resources outlined in the text holds much promise for treating this devastating disease, providing hope to long-suffering Huntington's disease patients and their families.
