Financial sanctions have become important instruments of regulatory and foreign policy in recent years. Following 9/11, the leading G10 developed countries have increasingly been using targeted financial sanctions against designated states, international terrorist organizations, drug traffickers, and their commercial and financial supporters. This book provides the first in depth study examining the post-9/11 financial sanctions programmes in the US and Europe, and the key regulatory and legal issues that confront businesses and related liability issues for third parties and individuals.

K.S. Alexander, J.C. Watkins
R2,686 Discovery Miles 26 860 Ships in 18 - 22 working days

This volume has been created in honor of the seventieth birthday of Ted Harris, which was celebrated on January 11th, 1989. The papers rep resent the wide range of subfields of probability theory in which Ted has made profound and fundamental contributions. This breadth in Ted's research complicates the task of putting together in his honor a book with a unified theme. One common thread noted was the spatial, or geometric, aspect of the phenomena Ted investigated. This volume has been organized around that theme, with papers covering four major subject areas of Ted's research: branching processes, percola tion, interacting particle systems, and stochastic flows. These four topics do not* exhaust his research interests; his major work on Markov chains is commemorated in the standard technology "Harris chain" and "Harris recurrent" . The editors would like to take this opportunity to thank the speakers at the symposium and the contributors to this volume. Their enthusi astic support is a tribute to Ted Harris. We would like to express our appreciation to Annette Mosley for her efforts in typing the manuscripts and to Arthur Ogawa for typesetting the volume. Finally, we gratefully acknowledge the National Science Foundation and the University of South ern California for their financial support.

Bruce K. Alexander, Curtis P. Shelton
R2,523 Discovery Miles 25 230 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

This book is a re-introduction to psychology. It focuses on great scholarly thinkers, beginning with Plato, Marcus Aurelius and St Augustine, who gave the field its foundational ideas long before better known 'founders', such as Galton, Fechner, Wundt and Watson, appeared on the scene. Psychology can only achieve its full breadth and potential when we fully appreciate its scholarly legacy. Bruce Alexander and Curtis Shelton also argue that the fundamental contradictions built into psychology's history have never been resolved, and that a truly pragmatic approach, as defined by William James, can produce a 'layered' psychology that will enable psychologists to face the fearsome challenges of the twenty-first century. A History of Psychology in Western Civilization claims that contemporary psychology has overemphasized the methods of physical science and that psychology will need a broader scientific orientation alongside a scholarly focus in order to fully engage the future.

R2,681 Discovery Miles 26 810 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Some 800 Austronesian languages are spoken in the area extending from Madagascar to eastern Indonesia and to the north to Taiwan and the Philippines. They vary greatly in almost every possible respect, including the size and social make-up of the speech communities and their typological profiles. This book is designed to serve as a reference work and in-depth introduction to these languages, providing a source of basic information for linguists and other professionals concerned with this area. It highlights the cultural and linguistic diversity of this group of languages while at the same time keeping track of their common heritage.

Five introductory articles on linguistic history, language politics, language endangerment, ritual speech and special registers, and major typological features have the entire area in their scope and provide a balanced and up-to-date discussion of the major issues. The core of the volume consists of grammatical sketches of twenty languages plus three chapters dealing with different aspects of Malay (Old Malay, Malayic varieties and Colloquial Indonesian), representing a good cross-section of the linguistic diversity found in the area.

Samuel Adams - The Life of an American Revolutionary (Paperback): John K. Alexander Samuel Adams - The Life of an American Revolutionary (Paperback)
John K. Alexander
R1,160 Discovery Miles 11 600 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

Samuel Adams: The Life of an American Revolutionary vividly tells the story of a titan of America's greatest generation. Friend and foe alike considered Adams one of the greatest members of the generation that achieved American independence and crafted constitutions that made the ideal of republican government a living reality in the new nation. Adams's role as a major political author and organizer are explored as is his central role in momentous events including the Boston Massacre and the Boston Tea Party. The work demonstrates why Thomas Jefferson described Adams as the helmsman of the American Revolution. Adams's career during the war and his involvement in crafting and defending republican constitutions are assessed as are his views on virtue, religion, education, women, and slavery. Following Adams through the 1790s, one sees that he wanted the revolutionary generation to bequeath a land of liberty and equality to the nation's posterity. The personal side of this revolutionary who was renowned for his lack of concern for material things is not neglected. The symbiotic relationship of Samuel and his wife Elizabeth is analyzed. The work demonstrates that Adams's life provides a veritable guide to responsible citizenship and public service in a republic.

The Selling of the Constitutional Convention - A History of News Coverage (Hardcover, New): John K. Alexander The Selling of the Constitutional Convention - A History of News Coverage (Hardcover, New)
John K. Alexander
R1,436 Discovery Miles 14 360 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

During the long summer of 1787, while half a hundred men deliberated in utmost secrecy over the fate of a nation, newspaper editors went to great length to win support for the federalist cause. By launching one of the greatest media marketing campaigns in American history, publishers repeatedly promoted the anticipated results of the Constitutional Convention while actively stifling its antifederal critics. In this revealing expose of media management in the eighteenth century, historian John K. Alexander demonstrates how publishers' tacit political assumptions and their tightly woven information networks channeled public debate over the issue. He quantitatively and qualitatively shows how publishers turned their papers into propaganda instruments in an effort to create and solidify a popular consensus around the yet unknown results of the Convention. In the words of one New York editor, "they conceived it a duty incumbent on them to prepare the minds of their readers for [the Constitution's] reception." "The evidence from 1787," writes Alexander, "suggests that independent ownership and operation offer no guarantee of a truly free and informative press." The Selling of the Constitutional Convention is a fascinating analysis of news management in the 1780s that sheds new light on the role of the press in early American political culture.

In dem Band XV /2 des Handbuches der medizinischen Radiologie wurden bei der klini- schen Nuklearmedizin bewuBt einige Kapitel herausgenommen, urn die weitere Entwicklung auf diesen Gebieten abzuwarten. Der vorliegende Band beinhaltet diese Kapitel. Die nuklear- medizinische Herz- und Kreislaufdiagnostik hat sich in der Zwischenzeit zu einem der drei wichtigsten diagnostischen Gebiete der Nuklearmedizin entwickelt. Dies nicht nur im Hin- blick auf die Aussagemoglichkeit sondern auch fur die Anzahl der zu untersuchenden Patien- ten. Mit dieser Entwicklung ist eindeutig bewiesen, daB die ExistenzHihigkeit der Nuklearme- dizin trotz erheblicher Leistungen anderer, auch bildgebenden Verfahren gewahrleistet ist. Die nuklearmedizinische Herz- und Kreislaufdiagnostik, die sich von den ersten Anfangen an, zunachst nur an einzelnen Zentren und hier auch langsam entwickelt hat, ist in ihrer Bedeutung in den letzten lahren sprunghaft angestiegen. Hinzu kommt allerdings, daB das Untersuchungsverfahren innerhalb der nuklearmedizinischen Technik eines der schwierigsten und aufwendigsten ist und daB die Anforderungen an den Arzt im Hinblick auf seine diagno- stischen Aussagen eine groBe Erfahrung verlangen. Aus diesen Grunden ist der Thematik in dies em Band erheblicher Raum eingeraumt worden. Die einze1nen Kapitel demonstrieren die Entwicklung, die Effizienz und die diagnostischen Aussagemoglichkeiten. Gleiches gilt fur die nuklearmedizinischen Untersuchungsverfahren fur die Padiatrie. Durch die standige Verbesserung der Radiopharmaka und der MeBgerateeinheiten weitet sich dieses Gebiet mehr aus und bringt tatsachlich richtig in Anwendung gebracht erhebliche Fortschritte fUr die Differentialdiagnostik bei Erkrankungen im Sauglings- und Kindesalter.

The Globalization of Addiction - A Study in Poverty of the Spirit (Paperback): Bruce K. Alexander The Globalization of Addiction - A Study in Poverty of the Spirit (Paperback)
Bruce K. Alexander
R1,306 Discovery Miles 13 060 Ships in 10 - 15 working days

'The Globalization of Addiction' presents a radical rethink about the nature of addiction.
Scientific medicine has failed when it comes to addiction. There are no reliable methods to cure it, prevent it, or take the pain out of it. There is no durable consensus on what addiction is, what causes it, or what should be done about it. Meanwhile, it continues to increase around the world. This book argues that the cause of this failure to control addiction is that the conventional wisdom of the 19th and 20th centuries focused too single-mindedly on the afflicted individual addict. Although addiction obviously manifests itself in individual cases, its prevalence differs dramatically between societies. For example, it can be quite rare in a society for centuries, and then become common when a tribal culture is destroyed or a highly developed civilization collapses. When addiction becomes commonplace in a society, people become addicted not only to alcohol and drugs, but to a thousand other destructive pursuits: money, power, dysfunctional relationships, or video games. A social perspective on addiction does not deny individual differences in vulnerability to addiction, but it removes them from the foreground of attention, because social determinants are more powerful.
This book shows that the social circumstances that spread addiction in a conquered tribe or a falling civilisation are also built into today's globalizing free-market society. A free-market society is magnificently productive, but it subjects people to irresistible pressures towards individualism and competition, tearing rich and poor alike from the close social and spiritual ties that normally constitute human life. People adapt to their dislocation by finding the best substitutes for a sustaining social and spiritual life that they can, and addiction serves this function all too well.
The book argues that the most effective response to a growing addiction problem is a social and political one, rather than an individual one. Such a solution would not put the doctors, psychologists, social workers, policemen, and priests out of work, but it would incorporate their practices in a larger social project. The project is to reshape society with enough force and imagination to enable people to find social integration and meaning in everyday life. Then great numbers of them would not need to fill their inner void with addictions.
