SUMMARY - Poor Economics: A Radical Rethinking Of The Way To Fight Global Poverty By Abhijit V. Banerjee And Esther Duflo

Auteure: Shortcut Edition

Nombre de pages: 36

* Our summary is short, simple and pragmatic. It allows you to have the essential ideas of a big book in less than 30 minutes. As you read this summary, you will discover that beyond the traditional anti-poverty policies that have emerged over the past decades, there is another way of looking at situations. You will also discover that : the poor have little access to information; the poor take responsibility for too many aspects of their lives; they have no access to certain markets, such as credit, or at exorbitant prices; poor countries are not doomed to failure because they are poor; when a situation begins to improve, beliefs and certainties change. Abhijit Banerjee and Esther Duflo rely on field studies with NGOs, government officials, health workers, etc., to support their work. They propose a new vision of poverty and, above all, ways of fighting it, through limited experiments and ingenious solutions proven in the field. They present not one, but models, based on the idea that it is by understanding the livelihoods of the poorest that solutions can be found to help them out of poverty. *Buy now the summary of this book for the modest price of a cup of coffee!

The perfect way

Auteure: Anna Kingsford

Nombre de pages: 392

According to classical legend, the Goddess Athena had once for votary a fair virgin named Medusa, who, becoming vain of her beauty and weary of the pure service of the maiden Goddess, introduced folly and defilement into the very sanctuary of the Temple in which she was wont to worship. Thereupon a terrible fate overtook her. The beautiful face, which had been the cause of her fall, assumed an aspect so terrible as to blight and petrify all who looked upon it; her tresses, once the chief object of her pride, were changed into vipers and the hands which had ministered to heaven became as the talons of a bird of prey. Thus transformed into a Gorgon, she brought forth monsters, and for a time devastated the earth. At length the hero Perseus, “Son of God,” commissioned by Athena and Hermes, and armed by them with wings and sword and shield, slew the terrible creature, and smote off her venomous head. This exploit, — itself fraught with great perils, — was followed by the achievement of another not less difficult. Andromeda, daughter of the aethiopian king, being doomed to become the prey of a dragon which long had ravaged her father’s coasts, was already chained to a rock on ...

The Black Wind from the South

Auteure: Catherine Legeay

Nombre de pages: 176

Anne believes herself to be just an ordinary French housewife and mother living in the South of France, in an attractive French city not far from the Mediterranean coast. But it is precisely this "ordinariness" and her discreet, undramatic character that prove seductive in the eyes of Paul. He is quiet for a different reason, being doomed by an illness that deprives him of his voice en route to certain death. Paul is an older man, mature and sophisticated, who has made a success of his career. Anne is seduced by Paul in turn during the course of their rare, emotionally charged moments together, when verbal communication is difficult. An ethereal love is born. The lovers are destined to go their separate ways. Paul is reconciled to death, for Anne, life will have to start again.

The Sabaite Heritage in the Orthodox Church from the Fifth Century to the Present

Auteure: Joseph Patrich

Nombre de pages: 496

St. Sabas (439-532 CE), was one of the principal leaders of Palestinian monasticism, that had flourished in the sixth century in the desert of Jerusalem. As an abbot he was the first in Palestine to formulate a monastic rule in writing, and his activity as an ecclesiastical leader bore upon the life of the entire Christian community in the Holy land. He and his monks were active in the theological disputes that affected the fate of the Christian Church of Palestine, and shaped it as a stronghold of Orthodoxy. But his activity has transcended his place and time. His largest monastery - the Great Laura (Mar saba), functioned from the sixth to the ninth century as the intellectual centre of the See of Jerusalem. The most distinguished among its authors were Cyril of Scythopolis, Leontius of Byzantium, John Moschus and Sophronius, Antiochus Monachos, John of Damascus, Cosmas the Hymnographer, Leontius of Damascus and Stephen Mansur. Their treatises on dogma, and prayer, shaped Orthodox theology, liturgy and hymnography in Palestine and beyond. This literary activity in Greek was complemented by scribal activity of copying and translating of Greek manuscripts into Arabic and Georgian....

Methods for the Study of Literature as Cultural Memory

Auteure: International Comparative Literature Association. Congress

Nombre de pages: 484

In this volume collaborators from different universities all over the world explore a wide variety of methods for the study of literature as cultural memory. In literature, the past may be (re)constructed in various ways and in very diverse forms. This immediately raises the question as to how one can describe and inventory the various discourses and metadiscourses of historical representation. In what sense can the rhetoric of literary historiography itself contribute to literature's function as cultural memory? Which methods of analysis are most appropriate for describing specific text types or genres as cultural memory? What have been the pragmatic uses and the ethical merits of the stability and continuity that literature has often provided for European, American, Asian and African cultures? What are the dilemmas they create for our teaching at the end of the twentieth century? To all these questions, a wide range of scholars here tries to find answers. In thorough and highly original contributions, they not only address theoretical problems, but also engage themselves in practical analyses of specific works.

Victim Policies and Criminal Justice on the Road to Restorative Justice

Auteure: Tony Peters

Nombre de pages: 466

This edited volume contains 22 papers organized into three sections under the following headings: part I is entitled On Promoting Victim Policies; Part II On Reforming Criminal Justice; and Part III On Restorative Justice. All three areas are ones to which Tony Peters, former Professor of Criminology in Leuven, has made a significant contribution and for which he is known as an international authority. During his long and productive academic career Tony Peters led many struggles for criminal justice reform. He was a leading figure in the movement to recognize crime victims' plight and to reaffirm their rights. In Belgium, he spearheaded the early initiatives in restorative justice and became one of its outspoken proponents nationally and internationally. There is no doubt that these three major topics and the various developments and reforms that are addressed in the papers will dominate the thinking about, and the practice of, criminal justice in the years to come. Thus, in addition to paying homage to a congenial friend and an illustrious colleague, it is hoped that this book will appeal and prove useful to all those who have an interest in victims issues, in criminal justice...

Ethics and Justice. Éthique et justice

Auteure: Peter Kemp , Noriko Hashimoto

Nombre de pages: 284

The main theme of volume 6 of Eco-ethica is "Ethics and Justice" which focuses on the idea of "justice" in a metaphysical, social, and personal sense. Justice is considered as a balance between opposite ambitions in interdependent persons, and as equity in legislation, but not as blind justice. Today it is valuable not only on the national, but also on the cosmopolitan level. Before it became personal justice, the idea of justice was considered metaphysical and social, both in European and Chinese culture. However, in modern times, it is often reduced to a moral duty without meta-ethical responsibility. The last section considers the importance of the philosophy of Paul Ricoeur (1913-2005) for clarifying the idea of justice. (Series: Eco-Ethica, Vol. 6) [Subject: Philosophy, Ethics]

Auteure: Frances Margaret Young , Mark J. Edwards , Paul M. Parvis

Nombre de pages: 550

Papers presented at the Fourteenth International Conference on Patristic Studies held in Oxford 2003 (see also Studia Patristica 39, 41, 42 and 43). The successive sets of Studia Patristica contain papers delivered at the International Conferences on Patristic Studies, which meet for a week once every four years in Oxford; they are held under the aegis of the Theology Faculty of the University. Members of these conferences come from all over the world and most offer papers. These range over the whole field, both East and West, from the second century to a section on the Nachleben of the Fathers. The majority are short papers dealing with some small and manageable point; they raise and sometimes resolve questions about the authenticity of documents, dates of events, and such like, and some unveil new texts. The smaller number of longer papers put such matters into context and indicate wider trends. The whole reflects the state of Patristic scholarship and demonstrates the vigour and popularity of the subject.
