"He couldn't go wrong, he thought.

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.

A top legal scholar is honoured with this commemorative publication. The contributions reflect the unusual range of Reinhard BAttcher's work.

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.
