As a pervasive occurrence in the contemporary world, wars and their
economic sources are defining social and political processes in a
variety of national and transnational contexts. Rebel Economies:
Warlords, Insurgents, Humanitarians explores historical,
anthropological and political dimensions of war economies by
non-state actors across different periods and regions, while
presenting their multiple manifestations as a unified, congruent
phenomenon. Through a variety of conceptual and disciplinary
approaches, the authors investigate, in the past and present and
across three continents, the nexuses between economy, war, social
transformation and state-building, revealing in the process
differences and similarities that would otherwise remain hidden.
Through this broad-gauge approach, the book aims, first, to rethink
much of the debate around "non-state war economies," and, secondly,
to expand the conversation by consciously treating this theme as a
conspicuous and distinct aspect of both economy and war. This is
not just a different approach but a fundamental departure from the
ways in which current discussions over the economy of wars, civil
conflicts, and revolutions, have informed research orientations
over several decades.

After the suicide of his son Jack in 2015, journalist Cosmo
Landesman set out to write an anti-suicide/ anti-grief memoir that
was angry and cynical about the way we look at death, suicide and
grief. Where others parents of suicides were motivated to try and
do good in the world, Landesman took the do nothing, say nothing
and feel as bad as possible option. Seven years later he wonders if
he made a terrible mistake. But Jack and Me is more than about
suicide - it's about a clueless father trying to save his troubled
son.
As World War II intrudes upon their home, three young friends risk
everything for freedom, love, and a chance at a better life. On
October 28, 1940, Mussolini gives Greek Prime Minister Ioannis
Metaxas an ultimatum: either allow Axis forces to occupy their
country, or face war. Greece's response is swift. "Oxi!" they say.
"No!" In a village nestled against the radiant waters of the Aegean
Sea live Alexei, the son of a local fisherman, and his best friend
Costa, who were both born on the same night eighteen years earlier
and have been like brothers ever since. Now, though, like all the
young men throughout Greece, they must leave their homes to fight
for their country. Before they go, Alexei asks Philia, the girl
he's loved his entire life, to marry him, which sets into motion
the events that will change the lives of these three and their
families and friends forever and begins an epic story of courage,
survival, sacrifice, the strength of the human spirit, and of a
love and friendship that will echo across generations. A
spellbinding novel and sweeping romance, Once We Were Here is an
unforgettable tale that reveals in vivid detail the untold true
story of how Greece helped the Allies to win World War II and pays
tribute to the brave men and women who fought and gave everything
for their country, for each other, and for freedom.
'Seldom has a senior public servant been so candid. As a key
policymaker, Meredith Edwards takes us inside the process to reveal
how we get the policies the affect so much of our lives.' - Paul
Kelly, International Editor, The Australian'This innovative and
important volume, unique in the policy literature, provides ideas
and case studies of interest to everyone who cares about the
quality of Australian public policy. It will be an indispensable
guide to past choices, and its lessons should help shape future
Australian social policy decisions.' - Dr Glyn Davis, co-author of
The Australian Policy HandbookHow are social policies conceived,
developed and put into practice? Based on four case studies of
social policy reforms in which the author was a major player (the
Child Support Scheme, AUSTUDY, the Higher Education Contribution
scheme (HECS) and long-term employment policies presented as
'Working Nation') Social Policy, Public Policy provides insights
into what is often otherwise seen as a 'black box' on how policy
advice occurs. Meredith Edwards' personal experience, revealed in
extracts from her journal, provides a picture of what social policy
participants actually do, something on which too little has been
written.Questions addressed in the book include: How was the policy
problem identified and articulated and by whom? What were the key
ingredients in policy analysis? When did consultation occur and in
what form? How was the policy decision arrived at? What were the
events between decision and implementation? And what evaluation
processes occurred?Social Policy, Public Policy is essential
reading for all students of public policy and policy advisers.
This book focuses on climate change and hydrological extremes, i.e.
droughts and floods, which are globally important natural hazards
with associated costly impacts on society and the environment.
Floods and droughts result from the superposition of different
processes at various space and time scales: physical processes in
the atmosphere, catchments, the river systems, and anthropogenic
activities. However, the characteristics of hydrological extremes
have been altered due to climate change and variability, such that
approaches for their detection, attribution, and the frequency of
occurrence need to be revisited as they are no longer stationary
processes. For more accurate estimation of hydrological extremes
under nonstationary and uncertain conditions, there is a need for
holistic assessments. Time-frequency analysis, hydrological
modeling, physical-cause analysis, multivariate statistical
analysis, and uncertainty analysis are powerful tools for
detecting, attributing, and making frequency analysis of
nonstationary hydrological extremes in a changing climate. Both
nonstationarity and uncertainty of frequency analysis of extreme
hydrological events should be integrated to reveal the possible
operational alternatives to the assumption of stationarity in
hydrological extremes frequency analysis. In Focus - a book series
that showcases the latest accomplishments in water research. Each
book focuses on a specialist area with papers from top experts in
the field. It aims to be a vehicle for in-depth understanding and
inspire further conversations in the sector.

Healthcare Management Strategy, Communication, and Development
Challenges and Solutions in Developing Countries analyzes the ways
in which health services, public health administration, and
healthcare policies are managed in developing countries and how
intercultural, intergroup, and mass communication practices are
weakening those efforts. If developing countries are to reach their
development goals, their leaders must have a firm understanding of
the impact of infectious diseases on their people and take prompt
action to fix socioeconomic issues arising from the problems
associated with poor health practices. Drawing on experiences from
international health organizations such as the United Nations
Population Fund (UNFPA), commissioned in poor countries to assist
national governments in improving the wellbeing of their citizens,
this volume analyzes maternal and child mortality and the spread of
infectious diseases, and offers communication strategies for the
management of malaria, HIV Aids, Polio, tuberculosis, and others in
Somalia, Madagascar, Ghana, South Africa, Zimbabwe, Nigeria, the
Democratic Republic of Congo, and India.
