This edited volume examines key questions about evidence-informed
policymaking in Indonesia. It draws on insights and evidence
acquired through the implementation of the Knowledge Sector
Initiative, a donor-funded programme that aims to increase the
demand for and use of evidence in policymaking in Indonesia.
Featuring contributions from academics, policy researchers,
policymakers and development practitioners, the volume will deepen
readers' understanding of how knowledge and politics shape the
policymaking process in Indonesia. As such, it will be of interest
to Indonesian and international researchers, academics, students,
practitioners and policymakers concerned with various aspects of
evidence-informed policymaking research and processes. In
particular, regional and international development practitioners
and development partners interested in learning from Indonesia's
efforts to improve how evidence is used to address key development
challenges will find this volume valuable.

This spectacular pop-up book from paper engineers David Hawcock and
Becca Zerkin forms the perfect guide to the world of AMC's The
Walking Dead. Filled with eye-catchingly gory pops, the book takes
the reader through some of the most iconic moments from the hugely
popular series. The book features five spreads, each with its own
central pop that depicts a key element from the show, such as the
prison where the survivors found refuge before being attacked by
the Governor or the Walker known as "Bicycle Girl" reaching out at
the reader. Each spread also includes several smaller pops
depicting other memorable elements from The Walking Dead.
In Muslim Indian Women Writing in English: Class Privilege, Gender
Disadvantage, Minority Status, Dr. Elizabeth Jackson conducts a
study of the literary fiction of the four best-known Muslim Indian
women writing in English during the postcolonial period: Attia
Hosain (1913-1998), Zeenuth Futehally (1904-1992), Shama Futehally
(no relation, 1952-2004), and Samina Ali (b. 1969). As elite Muslim
women in India, the literary vision of these authors is influenced
by their paradoxical position of class privilege, gender
disadvantage, and minority status. Accordingly, there are recurring
thematic concerns central to the fiction of all four writers, each
of which forms a chapter in the book: "Religion and Communal
Identity," "Marriage and Sexuality," "Gender and Social Class," and
"Responding to Patriarchy." The first chapter, "Form and Narrative
Strategy," provides an initial framework by examining the literary
techniques of each writer. Much has been written about literature
in English by Indian women, about Muslim literature in general,
about the Muslim minority in India, and about Muslim women all over
the world. However, until now there has been no major academic
study of literature in English by Muslim Indian women. Aimed at
researchers, students, and general readers, this book aims to fill
that gap in the critical scholarship.
Applied Ethics: An Impartial Introduction prepares readers to
evaluate selected classical and contemporary problems in applied
ethics in a way that does justice to their complexity without
sacrificing clarity or fairness of representation. Its balanced
exposition and analysis, enhanced by helpful pedagogical features,
make it an ideal book for introducing the ethics of real-life
problems including abortion, animal rights, disability, the
environment, poverty, and punishment.
Isolating these moments in his memory and attempting to analyze
them much like a lens, he envisions "a haiku stripped of rhetoric
that captures only what is in front of the camera." Yet, deprived
of his sight, the photographer now must reconstruct his experiences
as a series of affective snapshots, a diary of his emotions as they
were frozen on this or that day. The result, then, is not the
description of a remembered image, but of the emotional memory the
image evokes. Joao Almino here gives us a trenchant portrait of an
artist trying to close the gap between objective vision and
sentimental memory, leafing through a catalog of his
accomplishments and failures in a violent, artificial, universal
city, and trying to reassemble the puzzle that was his life.
"Bom Dia, Brasil" is a completely revised and updated edition of
the popular beginning Portuguese text "Portugues Basico para
Estrangeiros." It aims to teach the Portuguese language in a fast,

cultural topics, while providing them with the basic concepts
needed to communicate effectively in Portuguese.
Thirty-six thematic units in the book explore personal, social,
professional, and cultural topics. Music, poetry, and other
authentic materials present a panorama of contemporary Brazil. "Bom
Dia, Brasil" features new illustrations, dialogues, pair
activities, and research projects. Vocabulary, grammar, and
listening exercises and activities are integrated into the book.

A member of Brazil's avant-garde in its heyday. PatrÃcia Galvão
(or to use her nickname, Pagu) was extraordinary. Not only was her
work among the most exciting and innovative published in the 1930s,
it was unique in portraying an avant-garde woman's view of women in
Sao Paulo during that audacious period. Industrial Park,
first published in 1933, is Galvão's most notable literary
achieve-ment. Like Döblin's portrayal of Berlin in Alexanderplatz
or Biely's St Petersburg, it is a book about the voices, clashes,
and traffic of a city in the middle of rapid change. It includes
fragments of public documents as well as dialogue and narration,
giving a panorama of the city in a sequence of colorful
slices. The novel dramatizes the problems of exploitation,
poverty, racial prejudice, prostitution, state repression, and
neocolonialism, but it is by no means a doctrinaire tract.
Galvão's ironic wit pervades the novel, aspiring not only to
describe the teeming city but also to put art and politics in each
other's service. Like many of her contemporaries Galvão was
a member of the Brazilian Communist Party. She attracted Party
criticism for her unorthodox behavior and outspokenness. A visit to
Moscow in 1934 disenchanted her with the communist state, but she
continued to militate for change upon returning to Brazil. She was
imprisoned and tortured under the Vargas dictatorship between 1935
and 1940. In the 1940s she returned to the public through her
journalism and literary activities. She died in 1962.
