Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - With the deadline for achieving the 2016 Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) less than a decade away, the slow and uneven progress is raising important questions about the ability of the international community to 'scale up' its efforts to finance the goals. Securing adequate financing for development has thus become the most pressing issue of the development agenda. This groundbreaking volume, by leading development economists and practitioners, addresses the central concern for policymakers involved in long term planning for the MDGs: how to create 'fiscal space' for the MDGs and strengthen domestic resource mobilization for human development, while ensuring long-term sustainability and freedom from reliance on aid. By looking at the evidence with fresh perspectives, the authors present a novel method for how fiscal policy can be made to work for the poor, for the long-term. Published with UNDP and Revenue Watch.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Horror cinema is a hugely successful, but at the same time culturally illicit genre that spans the history of cinema. It continues to flourish with recent cycles of supernatural horror and torture porn that span the full range of horror styles and aesthetics. It is enjoyed by audiences everywhere, but also seen as a malign influence by others. In this Routledge Film Guidebook, audience researcher and film scholar Brigid Cherry provides a comprehensive overview of the horror film and explores how the genre works. Examining the way horror films create images of gore and the uncanny through film technology and effects, Cherry provides an account of the way cinematic and stylistic devices create responses of terror and disgust in the viewer. Horror examines the way these films construct psychological and cognitive responses and how they speak to audiences on an intimate personal level, addressing their innermost fears and desires. Cherry further explores the role of horror cinema in society and culture, looking at how it represents various identity groups and engages with social anxieties, and examining the way horror sees, and is seen by, society.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - To solve the looming climate change crisis, the world will need to make a profound technological shift to cleaner sources of energy. One technology that has enormous potential, especially in rural areas of many emerging markets, is solar photovoltaic technology for electricity. And yet, the progress of this technology has been disappointingly slow since its introduction in the 1980s. In Selling Solar the author seeks to explain why this has been the case, arguing that the market for solar has been ready for the last decade, it just took time for entrepreneurial firms to pioneer this new business, and for the right policies to take shape to encourage and support them. Once that happened, diffusion ramped up leading to the beginning of what can truly be called a solar revolution. The author draws on the compelling, but often overlooked, literature on innovation diffusion to guide the analysis. Such literature has tremendous applicability to understanding the up-take of solar energy, as it does to the up-take of other green innovations. The author then adds to this literature, by drawing in the transformative impact of entrepreneurs and their firms. Selling Solar puts business at the centre of its analysis, as the pivotal agent that will drive change, but also recognizes that business responds to incentives set by policy. The author reviews which policies have and have not worked for solar in emerging markets. He concludes by calling on market mechanisms, such as carbon markets, to be made to work for solar, and considers the broader lessons for clean energy diffusion.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -This unique collection frames the classic debates on objects and aims to generate new ones by reshaping the ways in which the object can be taught and studied, from a wide variety of disciplines and fields.The Object Reader elucidates objects in many of their diverse roles, dynamics and capacities. Precisely because the dedicated study of objects does not reside neatly within a single discipline, this collection is comprised of numerous academic fields. The selected writings are drawn from from anthropology, art history, classical studies, critical theory, cultural studies, digital media, design history, disability studies, feminism, film and television studies, history, philosophy, psychoanalysis, social studies of science and technology, religious studies and visual culture.The collection, composed of twentieth and twenty-first century writing also seeks to make its own contribution through original work, in the form oftwenty-five short 'object lessons' commissioned specifically for this project. These new and innovative studies from key writers across a range of disciplines will enable students to look upon their surroundings with trained eyes to search out their own 'object studies'. 576 pp. Englisch.
