Dilip K. Das succinctly covers the principal normative and positive
strands that one needs to be properly familiar with in the area of
economic globalization. The selection and rejection of themes for
coverage in the book has been carefully done. The picture of
globalization has been painted with a broad brush. The unique
feature that distinguishes it from the competition is its succinct
coverage of numerous, carefully selected, thematic issues that
falls under the rubric of globalization. The book is easy to access
for the target readership because of its descriptive analysis
style.
The recent crisis has redrawn attention to financial globalization.
Dilip Das examines under what circumstances it can be
welfare-enhancing and lead to rapid economic growth. Written in an
accessible style, the book gives the latest insights on the topic.
The focus of this book is the ongoing Doha Round of multilateral
trade negotiations, which is endeavoring to further liberalize
trade in goods and services. Trade theory supports the view that
elimination of trade barriers benefits both importing and exporting
economies, and therefore is a win-win game for all the one hundred
and forty-eight members of the World Trade Organization. A
successful Doha Round is sure to have far-reaching ramifications
for the global economy.
During the post-World War-II period, several Asian economies turned
in stellar performances. This book addresses the all-important
query regarding the ebullient growth performance of a group of
dynamic Asian economies. Its principal focus is the so-called Asian
growth model, which enabled them to achieve what became known as
the 'miraculous' growth
Following the launch in China of economic reforms and the "open
door policy," a new era of economic growth and global integration
dawned. In 2008, the thirtieth anniversary year, China completes
three decades of broad-based market-oriented macroeconomic reforms
and restructuring. This book traces China's economic renaissance.
The subject of this book - Asia-Pacific economies and their
integration - is very topical and of major importance to the world
trade and global trading system. As the book explains, the region's
market-led or 'open regionalism' contrasts with the more closed
regionalism of Europe and North America, offering an attractive
alternative to the other developing-country regions.' - Kym
Anderson, Centre for International Economic Studies, University of
Adelaide;Over the last three decades, dramatic growth has occurred
in the Asia-Pacific economies. They have in fact grown into an
economic force of international dimensions as they not only
succeeded in reducing their economic dependence on major industrial
countries but have also come to have a 'locomotive' effect on the
international economy. This unique growth phenomenon is analysed in
this book, which makes it vitally significant for the student
community and business-persons. as they not only succeeded in
reducing their economic dependence on major industrial countries

The Korean economy has experienced astoundingly rapid growth during
the period 1960-90 and is now able, despite its late start, to
compete with mature industrialised economies. This book focuses on
the underlying economic factors behind this unprecedented growth
performance examining the failures as well as the undoubted
successes of such development.
Four years ago the first international symposium dealing with
neural transplan tation was organized as a satellite conference to
the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in Los Angeles,
California. The expanded proceed ings of that symposium were
published by Springer-Verlag in 1983 in a volume entitled Neural
Tissue Transplantation Research. We were sufficiently pleased with
the results of that effort to organize a second satellite
international sympo sium on Neural Transplantation and Regeneration
in conjunction with the 13th Annual Meeting of the Society for
Neuroscience in Boston in the fall of 1983. Paralleling the growing
body of research dealing with various aspects of neural
transplantation, the scope of this second symposium was broadened
to include not only transplantation but also regeneration.
Additionally, topics of clinical interest were addressed as well as
issues of basic research. The promise apparent in that first
conference is still seen in the second as more and more
investigators apply their talents in an attempt to understand this
infant field of research. The present volume represents an expanded
version of the material presented at the second symposium. We wish
to thank all of the contributors to the conference and to this
volume for their insight and their assistance."

This book pursues optimal design from the perspective of mechanical
properties and resistance to failure caused by cracks and fatigue.
The book abandons the scale separation hypothesis and takes up
phase-field modeling, which is at the cutting edge of research and
is of high industrial and practical relevance. Part 1 starts by
testing the limits of the homogenization-based approach when the
size of the representative volume element is non-negligible
compared to the structure. The book then introduces a non-local
homogenization scheme to take into account the strain gradient
effects. Using a phase field method, Part 2 offers three
significant contributions concerning optimal placement of the
inclusion phases. Respectively, these contributions take into
account fractures in quasi-brittle materials, interface cracks and
periodic composites. The topology optimization proposed has
significantly increased the fracture resistance of the composites
studied.

Eliot Dean's life as a professor of English and Economics at the
University of St Gallen is given a shock when he begins an affair
with one of his students, seventeen-year-old Evie Muller, who
believes one day that Eliot will be married. Eliot's wife, Sandra,
is an attractive woman, and Eliot has no intention of leaving her,
especially as they have two children, thirteen-year-old Adam and
ten-year-old Ilsa. Eliot's boss, Gustav Schaefer, has always had
some hold over Eliot's life, since Eliot's grandfather who was
Gustav's best friend, died in mysterious circumstances many years
before. Although the death was investigated by the police, and
accidental death was the verdict, there has always been a suspicion
hanging over Eliot, who was present on the day his grandfather died
in the cellar of the infamous Werdenburg castle. Evie invites Eliot
to look into her background, having wondered what secrets her
parents were keeping from her. Eliot complies and goes to Reichenau
with Evie to look up her family history. They discover that her
parents are not her real family, and that Evie is in fact Jewish of
a mother who died in the Holocaust, and a father with whom may have
had association with Hitler's war machine. This discovery seemingly
- changes everything. Gustav has his own demons to deal with and
the police chief, Ernst Weber, who had first been on the scene when
grandfather Dean died, finds out that Gustav also has a dubious
past, and further investigations reveal that grandfather Dean may
have discovered the secret past of his then good friend Gustav
Schaefer. To which leaves Ernst Weber with a possible motive for
murder. Driven by desire and the ensuing circumstances, with which
he finds himself, and a worsening health condition, Eliot realizes
things are spiraling out of control and things take a further
sinister turn when his wife, Sandra, discovers the affair that her
husband refuses to relinquish. With Eliot now suffering from
pressures at work, the ensuing difficult situation between himself
and Evie, and signs of schizophrenia - can he possibly find an
answer to his problems or better still, a way out?
