"He couldn't go wrong, he thought.
Today, he often thinks the sentence should have been completed:
"
... And we make sure it will just remain a dream."
In this riveting economic thriller, Paul Jordan, a renegade
World Banker, and Moni Cheng, an Andean woman who leads a
socio-environmental nongovernmental organization in the Peruvian
Amazon, endure kidnappings, bombings, and deadly chases in their
fight against boundless capitalism, destructive economic policies,
and corporate greed that are wreaking worldwide social injustice
and destroying the globe's richest zones of biodiversity.
Together, Jordan and Cheng expose corporate ruthlessness,
military brutality, and Machiavellian economic policies of the
foremost financial ivory towers of Washington, the World Bank, and
the International Monetary Fund. With other visionaries from around
the globe, Jordan and Cheng untiringly disseminate truth and candid
information about the calamities caused by this cruel machinery.
And against all odds, they mobilize the power of the people.
Richly detailed, grounded in actual events and statistics, and
complete with notes from author and former World Bank economist
Peter Koenig, "Implosion" is both an unsettling, gripping novel and
a powerful commentary on the realities of the modern world's
corporatocracy.

One the most interesting debates in moral philosophy revolves
around the significance of empirical moral psychology for moral
philosophy. Genealogical arguments that rely on empirical findings
about the origins of moral beliefs, so-called debunking arguments,
take center stage in this debate. Looking at debunking arguments
based on evidence from evolutionary moral psychology, experimental
ethics and neuroscience, this book explores what ethicists can
learn from the science of morality, and what they cannot. Among
other things, the book offers a new take on the
deontology/utilitarianism debate, discusses the usefulness of
experiments in ethics, investigates whether morality should be
thought of as a problem-solving device, shows how debunking
arguments can tell us something about the structure of
philosophical debate, and argues that debunking arguments lead to
both moral and prudential skepticism. Presenting a new picture of
the relationship between empirical moral psychology and moral
philosophy, this book is essential reading for moral philosophers
and moral psychologists alike.

Much has been written about money--how to invest, save, become a
millionaire, get out of debt, find financial freedom, change the
monetary system, manage a business, hedge or save taxes. So what
makes this book stand out from those already in the bookshops?
Written for lay reader and expert alike, 30 Lies is a response
to a newly emerging trend, where peoples' interest in money is not
just to try and make more of it. But to understand better the
causes of the increasingly contradictory money world they find
themselves in. Some of the issues: income inequity, increasing
stress in making ends meet, decay of social systems, evaporation of
pensions, polarisation of wealth, third-world indebtedness, Enrons
and more. This book promises a simple understanding of these
issues.
But it goes further. This book not only exposes misleading flaws
and "lies" in many universally accepted and unquestioned
assumptions about money--it dissolves them!
Mit diesem Buch wird die Frage beantwortet, was ein Instrument zur
Messung des Pflegeaufwands im Krankenhaus abbilden muss und wie die
Verfahren konstruiert sein sollten, um eine qualifizierte Aussage
ber die Leistungen und somit die Kosten der Pflege liefern zu
knnen. Das Ziel ist, dass die Pflege selbst durch solche
Instrumente formal in die Lage versetzt wird, ihre Leistungen und
ihren Zeit- und Personalbedarf aufzeigen und belegen kann. Die
Autoren setzen sich mit den Grundstzen der Testtheorie kritisch
auseinander. Im Bereich der Pflege gehrt diese Herangehensweise
nicht zum tglichen Handwerkszeug. Mit dieser Arbeit konnten
traditionelle Denkmuster und verankerte Vorurteile kritisch
diskutiert und aufgelst werden. Die Formulierung teststatistischen
Anforderung an Messmodelle, die Darstellung der probabilistischen
Testtheorie und ihrer Bedeutung fr die Instrumentenentwicklung in
der Pflege zeigt einen klaren innovativen Ansatz auf. Dieses Buch
legt ein solides Fundament fr die Entwicklung eines validen
Instrumentes zur Messung von Pflegaufwand und ist somit fr das
Pflegemanagement eine wichtige Grundlage.
