Culture and Conservation

Culture and Conservation

Eleanor Shoreman-Ouimet; Helen Kopnina

Routledge
2015
sidottu
Today, there is growing interest in conservation and anthropologists have an important role to play in helping conservation succeed for the sake of humanity and for the sake of other species. Equally important, however, is the fact that we, as the species that causes extinctions, have a moral responsibility to those whose evolutionary unfolding and very future we threaten. This volume is an examination of the relationship between conservation and the social sciences, particularly anthropology. It calls for increased collaboration between anthropologists, conservationists and environmental scientists, and advocates for a shift towards an environmentally focused perspective that embraces not only cultural values and human rights, but also the intrinsic value and rights to life of nonhuman species. This book demonstrates that cultural and biological diversity are intimately interlinked, and equally threatened by the industrialism that endangers the planet's life-giving processes. The consideration of ecological data, as well as an expansion of ethics that embraces more than one species, is essential to a well-rounded understanding of the connections between human behavior and environmental wellbeing. This book gives students and researchers in anthropology, conservation, environmental ethics and across the social sciences an invaluable insight into how innovative and intensive new interdisciplinary approaches, questions, ethics and subject pools can close the gap between culture and conservation.

The Weird Sisters

The Weird Sisters

Eleanor Brown

G.P. Putnam's Sons
2012
nidottu
The beloved New York Times bestseller from acclaimed author Eleanor Brown about three sisters who love each other, but just don't happen to like each other very much. Three sisters have returned to their childhood home, reuniting the eccentric Andreas family. Here, books are a passion (there is no problem a library card can't solve) and TV is something other people watch. Their father--a professor of Shakespeare who speaks almost exclusively in verse--named them after the Bard's heroines. It's a lot to live up to. The sisters each have a hard time communicating with their parents and their lovers, but especially with one another. What can the shy homebody eldest sister, the fast-living middle child, and the bohemian youngest sibling have in common? Only that none has found life to be what was expected; and now, faced with their parents' frailty and their own personal disappointments, not even a book can solve what ails them...

The Economic System

The Economic System

Eleanor Doyle

John Wiley Sons Inc
2005
nidottu
The Economic System provides an accessible account of introductory economics theory that allows students more fully to appreciate the main features and complexity of the Economic System by integrating microeconomic and macroeconomic principles on a topic-by-topic basis. The purpose of the approach is to allow the student to understand the economy as a system of complex and inter-related features incorporating: consumers, producers, markets and governments based on an understanding of the roles of prices and markets and exchange. This structure provides a context whereby students understand that to analyse issues from an economic perspective often requires the use of both micro- and macroeconomic tools and an appreciation of the interrelationships that exist between them. The academic and pedagogical logic underlying the structure of the book arises from the author's extensive experience in lecturing and discussions with other lecturers in economics. One of the main problems experienced by students of economics is that even those who appear to grasp concepts and models often display weaknesses in using them to better understand or analyse problems. Transferability of concepts is a real problem especially for a subject that focuses on being a problem-solving discipline where students should learn skills useful to support decision-making. An explicit aim in the book is to clarify how models and concepts in economics are useful as tools that support rigorous, methodical and logical analysis and not simply useful to solve mathematical ‘puzzles’ by providing one "correct" answer. This requires being explicit in explaining what the economic approach is about, regarding the role of theories and models to support economic analysis and also regarding how these theories and models support decision making based on economic analysis.

Economic Value Management

Economic Value Management

Eleanor Bloxham

John Wiley Sons Inc
2003
sidottu
An action-driven approach to assessing, creating, and protecting value "The timing for publication of Eleanor Bloxham’s Economic Value Management is providential. We are assailed by the reality that the board of directors of leading companies have approved, no, have directed, accounting practices that inflate the reported earnings but that lack economic substance. Audit firms in search of personal wealth have been selling ‘earnings’ from their consulting division to their full client list. This volume is uniquely couched to restore integrity to the financial understanding of corporate functioning. If you want–and you should–to start getting American business back on the right track, you should read this book."–Robert A. G. Monks, Publisher of www.ragm.com and several books about corporate governance "Educated investors are essential to successfully functioning capital markets. At this critical time in our financial history, restoring the confidence in our financial system lost over the past year will depend upon financial advisors and investors truly understanding the companies they invest in. As Economic Value Management shows, being educated means more than understanding the unique language of the stock market, it is more than reading a prospectus or an annual report, it is more than listening to an analyst’s opinions. Being educated requires a genuine understanding of the value of a company."– Mary L. Schapiro, Vice Chairman, President, Regulatory Policy and Oversight, NASD (National Association of Securities Dealers) "Economic Value Management would have limited much of the economic turmoil we have experienced in the last eighteen months. It is the way a company should be managed."– John McCoy, Chairman of Battelle Memorial Institute, retired Chairman and CEO of Bank One Corporation "Nothing could be more appropriate and needed at this time in history than understanding how decisions affect corporate economic value. Eleanor Bloxham’s exploration of this issue is clear, easy to follow, and thorough in its breadth. Had corporate officers used economic value management techniques throughout their organizations and investors focused on such issues, there would have been much greater rationality in the stock market with much less eventual bloodletting. Indeed, in the aftermath of recent disclosures, the focus on Economic Value Management metrics should increase substantially, and this book provides a solid foundation for understanding such an approach."–Joseph A. Alutto, Dean and John W. Berry Sr., Chair in Business, Fisher College of Business, The Ohio State University

A Telescope on Society

A Telescope on Society

Eleanor Singer

The University of Michigan Press
2004
sidottu
A Telescope on Society seeks to convey the development of social science in the twentieth century through its interaction with a major new instrument for gathering data about society-survey research. The story of survey research and social science is largely told by social scientists affiliated with the Survey Research Center (SRC) and Institute for Social Research (IRS) at the University of Michigan about work done there. But the book also places this story in the broader context of survey-based social science in the United States and the world, to which many individuals and institutions beyond SRC, ISR, and Michigan have also contributed.The chapters of this volume illustrate the impact that developments in survey research have had and continue to have on a broad range of social science disciplines and interdisciplinary areas ranging from political behavior and electoral systems to macroeconomics and individual income dynamics, mental and physical health, human development and aging, and racial/ethnic diversity and relationships. The volume will speak to a wide audience of social science and survey research professionals and students interested in learning more about the broad history of survey-based social science and its contributions to understanding ourselves as social beings. It also seeks to convey how crucial institutional and public support are to the development of social science and survey research, as they have been to development in the natural, biomedical, and life sciences.The five editors of this book are longtime research professors and colleagues in the Survey Research Center of the Institute for Social Research at the University of Michigan. James S. House is also Professor in the Department of Sociology; F. Thomas Juster is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Economics; Robert L. Kahn is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychology and Department of Health Management and Policy; and Howard Schuman is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Sociology; Eleanor Singer is Research Professor in the Survey Research Center, all at the University of Michigan. Professors House (1991-2001), Kahn (1970-76), and Schuman (1982-90) have each served as Director of the Survey Research Center; Professor Juster served (1976-86) as Director of the Institute for Social Research; and Professor Singer served (1999-2002) as Associate Director of the Survey Research Center.
