First published in 1981, Education and Income Distribution in Asia
looks in detail at a number of aspects of the relation between
education, employment, and income. Education is now the major
programme of expenditure of governments in Asian countries. This
book brings case studies from Philippines, India, Sri Lanka, and
Thailand to discuss themes like equality in education; schooling,
earnings, and occupation; educational expansion and the labour
market; determinants of educational achievement; school enrolment
in India, Sri Lanka, and Thailand; and educational innovations and
inequality. This book is a must read for scholars and researchers
of education, public policy, and economics.
First published in 2001. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor &
Francis, an informa company.

The analysis of stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen in
bone collagen provides a powerful tool for reconstructing past
diets, since it provides the only direct evidence of the foods that
were actually consumed. The chapters that comprise this volume
describe the application of this methodology to the archaeology of
Greece, a country whose archaeobotanical remains have been
isotopically studied more extensively than any other place in the
world. The archaeological issues that can be addressed using stable
isotope methods include the importance of fishing; the possible
early introduction of millet; the nature of childrearing including
weaning age and weaning foods; temporal shifts in protein
consumption; differential access to certain foods associated with
social status as well as gender and age; and cultural differences
in dietary patterns. Additionally, diet is strongly correlated with
health or stress markers in the teeth and bones. Knowing what
people ate has vital implications for our understanding of past
environments and economies, subsistence strategies, and nutrition.

This collection, aimed at scholars, teachers, and practitioners in
technical communication, focuses on the praxis-based connections
between technical communication and theoretical movements that have
emerged in the past several decades, namely new materialism and
posthumanism. It provides a much needed link between contemporary
theoretical discussions about new materialisms and posthumanism and
the practical, everyday work of technical communicators. The
collection insists that where some theoretical perspectives fall
flat for practitioners, posthumanism and new materialisms have the
potential to enable more effective and comprehensive practices,
methodologies, and pedagogies.
