Providing an overview of industrial development using a variety of different approaches and perspectives, the Handbook of Industrial Development brings together expert contributors and highlights the current multiple and interdependent challenges that can only be addressed using an interdisciplinary approach. Chapters discuss the existing issues faced by industry following both the digital and environmental transitions, highlighting their regional roots and the interplay with the wider institutional framework. Investigating the necessity for companies to design new products and production processes and also re-think their corporate responsibilities, this Handbook illustrates the need for a much broader vision taking into account historical, social, political and cultural viewpoints at all governmental levels. Furthermore, it takes an analytical look at further research, including insightful directions for future industrial development policies. Answering complex policy questions for today, this crucial Handbook will be invaluable for policymakers looking for insights into sustainable industrial development as well as practitioners who are seeking an up-to-date comprehensive overview of the topic. Economic development and innovation scholars and researchers will also find the future research ideas interesting and informative.

This book explores modalities and cultural interventions of translation in the early modern period, focusing on the shared parameters of these two translation cultures.

From the beginning of human civilization, people have depended on plants to cure disease, promote healing of injuries, and alleviate pain. In many places that has changed very little. In the West, however, herbal and botanical cures have long been ignored in favor of "scientific medicine." But the benefits of medicinal plants are being rediscovered in many developed countries, where consumers are turning to such therapies in place of, and in addition to, Western medical treatments. And, all over the world, the drive to lower the cost of health care has made herbals and botanicals an attractive alternative to more expensive synthetic remedies. In 1978, the World Health Organization responded to increased interest in medicinal plants by convening a series of international consultations, seminars, and symposia to explore and promote the use of medicinal plants. Medicinal Plants presents the proceedings of the last of these symposia, held in 1993. It brings together an vast range of information and presents an overview of the use of medicinal plants that includes a discussion of a variety of issues-scientific, economic, regulatory, agricultural, cultural-focused on the importance of medicinal plants to primary health care and global health care reform.

The Truth Doesn't Always Set You Free. In 1987, the dirty war that will last twelve years and kill thirty thousand Peruvians finally reaches up through the Andean cloud forest for Nina and her family. Nina's father is shot by soldiers, her mother raped, and her brother lost to the shadowy ranks of Shining Path guerrillas. And when Agustin Malqui, the village pastor, files a legal complaint against the military, it's no surprise when he disappears in the middle of the night-just another casualty of the military regime. Twenty-odd years later, Nina, now an officer in Cuzco's tourist police, comes across a familiar name on the police printer that she scans daily for any trace of her long-lost brother. Agustin Malqui is alive. After spending years in a political prison, the broken pastor has been wandering the country, saving souls and drowning his demons in pisco. Nina tracks him down, only to lose him yet again in a police sweep of political malcontents. But before Malqui disappears, he tells her a drunken tale she can scarcely believe: that her brother Miguel is still alive. Despite warnings and threats from her chief and the pleadings of her lover, an officer in Peru's anti-terrorist branch, Nina presses on to find Malqui. Her search takes her through Peru's underworld, from remote villages high in the Andes to the steaming jungle haunts of the narcotraficantes, and ultimately to a secret political prison in the altiplano, where she learns the truth about Malqui and her own vanished brother. From the Kirkus Review for Sendero: "Tomlinson's debut is golden...a lushly atmospheric novel consistently churning with intrinsic familial yearnings and authentic suspense...a vividly described journey throughout Peru's underbelly as the narrative gains momentum, hurtling toward a dramatic climax."

This dissertation develops a new general method of solving Prony's problem. Two special cases of this new method have been developed previously. They are the Matrix Pencil and the Osculatory Interpolation. The dissertation shows that they are instances of a more general solution type which allows a wide ranging class of linear functional to be used in the solution of the problem. This class provides a continuum of functionals which provide new methods that can be used to solve Prony's problem.

Who can you trust in a country haunted by its past? On the hunt for an abducted Indian beggar girl, Peruvian National Police officer Nina Flores is determined to track down the suspected kidnapper, a man who resembles what the locals call pishtacos: tall, pale ghosts who steal children. In spite of being jumped by a mysterious attacker, and the murder of a woman who gets too close to the truth, Nina is blocked at every turn by her superiors. Then she discovers links to a second case reaching back twenty years to the country's dirty war. Defying the powers that be, Nina forms a shaky alliance with a member of a brutal drug cartel and heads deep into the Amazon jungle. She will bring the lost one home, or die trying.

With the death of his friend, Mike Townsend, Lee learned that there is nothing more painful to the heart and mind than the loss of someone you love. Be it a friend or a relative, death leaves far too big of a hole in a person's life. He knows that there is nothing he can do to bring Mike back but there is something he can do to help keep good people from leaving that hole in someone else's life. Despite his understanding of the Agency, even with his strong belief in the Angels, Lee doesn't want for death and bloodshed to continue to be a way of life. He soon realizes that there are forces at work that don't see it that way. He wonders how many more bullets will be dropped on the floor in front of him within the chambers of the Order of Angels and how many more crosses will be etched into the grips of "Justice." He knows that the fringe of the Quiet Shroud continues to hold tight its seal and protect him from the sanity disrupting memories within, but is there a limit to its strength? He can feel the effects of the Quiet Shroud more and more in his everyday life. It's not a bad thing but why is it happening. How far will the Quiet Shroud go to protect him, the people he loves and, for that matter, humanity itself? Soon he will find out how it pulls together others like him and others who will soon be like him. This phenomenon gives a definition to "Gunslingers and Angels" that will forever change the war against evil in this mortal world.
