Economic Development

Economic Development

Marcelo M. Giugale

Oxford University Press Inc

sidottu
There is much discussion about global poverty and the billions of people living with almost nothing. Why is it that governments, development banks, think-tanks, academics, NGOs and many others can't just fix the problem? Why is it that seemingly obvious reforms never happen? Why are prosperity and equity so elusive? The revised second edition of Economic Development: What Everyone Needs to Know® brings readers right into the trenches of development policies to show what practitioners are actually doing and explains the issues, dilemmas, options, frustrations and opportunities they face, day in and day out. In straightforward language and a question-and-answer format, Marcelo M. Giugale outlines the frontier of the development practice or, as he puts it, "...the point at which knowledge stops and ignorance begins." He takes readers from why it is so difficult to get governments to function, to the basic policies that economies need to work well, the powerful new tools for social assistance, and the challenges of inclusion, education, health, infrastructure, technology, data, and foreign aid. Giugale gives no definitive, universal answers. They don't really exist. Rather, he highlights what works, what doesn't, and what's promising. Drawing from examples across the world, his overall message is clear: economic development, and the poverty reduction that goes with it, have never been more possible for more countries.

Meet Marcelo, a kid like you and me, who grew up in Brazil wanting to become a philosopher and solve logic puzzles. Philosophy led him to physics, and physics led him to mathematics. Learn how Marcelo thinks about mathematical equations as puzzles to solve and how solving one of those puzzles helped him learn about how the universe works.The Who Me? series features inspirational biographies of scientists whom young readers will be able to identify with as people like themselves. Written by the scientists themselves and co-authors from Vanderbilt University, the books are designed to help young readers understand that scientists are regular people like themselves who are excited about learning and discovering new things, and who decided to work hard in school in order to create for themselves the opportunity to become scientists. As they learn the stories of these scientists, readers will also learn some basic scientific ideas that are well-explained and easily understood and be introduced to cutting-edge science these scientists are working on today.Who Me? series co-editors: David A Weintraub, Professor of Astronomy, of History, and of Communication of Science and Technology, College of Arts & Science, Vanderbilt University; Ann Neely, Associate Professor Emerita of the Practice of Education, Peabody College of Education and Human Development, Vanderbilt University; and Kevin Johnson, Professor of Biomedical Informatics and of Pediatrics, Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt University Medical Center.In this series:

Highly respected scholar Robert Teranishi draws on his vast research to present this timely and compelling examination of the experience of Asian Americans in higher education. Asians in the Ivory Tower explores why and how Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders (AAPIs) are important to our nation's higher education priorities and places the study of AAPI college participation within a broad set of conditions through which all students must navigate as they pursue higher education. Teranishi captures the intersections of individual agency, social conditions, and organizational structures as synergetic forces that result in a range of postsecondary outcomes for subpopulations within the larger body of AAPIs. Transcending narrow generalizations about this understudied population, this seminal book debunks false stereotypes about AAPI students and their educational trajectories; offers a unique empirical perspective on racial stratification in higher education through case studies that mix quantitative data with narratives of lived stories; examines the educational experiences and routes to college for AAPIs, and examines broader issues around racial inequality and debates about affirmative action; captures the nuances and complexity of race, offering theoretical perspectives that can be applied to other populations.

How To Get Rid Of Anxiety Disorder is a self-help book for those who are suffering from an anxiety disorder. This book contains information that will guide the anxiety disorder sufferer towards freedom from the anxiety disorder's symptoms. This book was based on the author's experiences as he suffered once from generalized anxiety disorder for more than 5 years. He wrote in this book the ""five ways"" he followed that freed him from the suffering of anxiety disorder. The five ways were discovered by the author through his constant search for the antidote to his suffering from an anxiety disorder. The author will not be able to know the effectiveness of these ""five ways"" without first applying and experimenting with them on himself. There isn't one of the ""five ways"" that suggests taking any medication prescribed by a doctor. This ""five ways"" only includes activities that will help the mind become calm, refreshed, and fearless in order to reduce stress, which is one of the reasons that anxiety disorders last longer. The twenty-nine symptoms of anxiety disorder that the author had experienced before were also written elaborately. Each of these symptoms of anxiety disorder is explained based on how the author experienced them for the reader to see, understand, and confirm what each feels like if they ever experience these symptoms. If the author had found these ""five ways"" early enough, he would not have had to suffer from anxiety disorder in those long years.

Daniel Serr o n o foi somente um dos pioneiros da Bio tica em Portugal. Ele foi tamb m um mestre na arte de ensinar a conjugar valores morais e pr ticas cient ficas. Sempre respeitoso com a diversidade de perspectivas morais, o que fez foi construir pontes: pontes entre pessoas, pontes entre continentes, pontes entre saberes e pontes entre a cosmovis o crist e o mundo marcado pela falta de perspectiva. Serr o foi um educador por excel ncia, mas isso n o se deve aos seus t tulos acad micos ou pela sua import ncia no pantheon dos bioeticistas origin rios. Sua autoridade est fundada na alegria com a qual nos ensinou e nos fez ensinar Bio tica, est na esperan a que nos ajudou a depositar no di logo com os estranhos morais.
Children of Immigration

Children of Immigration

Harvard University Press

Now in the midst of the largest wave of immigration in history, America, mythical land of immigrants, is once again contemplating a future in which new arrivals will play a crucial role in reworking the fabric of the nation. At the center of this prospect are the children of immigrants, who make up one fifth of America's youth. This book, written by the codirectors of the largest ongoing longitudinal study of immigrant children and their families, offers a clear, broad, interdisciplinary view of who these children are and what their future might hold.For immigrant children, the authors write, it is the best of times and the worst. These children are more likely than any previous generation of immigrants to end up in Ivy League universities--or unschooled, on parole, or in prison. Most arrive as motivated students, respectful of authority and quick to learn English. Yet, at the same time, many face huge obstacles to success, such as poverty, prejudice, the trauma of immigration itself, and exposure to the materialistic, hedonistic world of their native-born peers.The authors vividly describe how forces within and outside the family shape these children's developing sense of identity and their ambivalent relationship with their adopted country. Their book demonstrates how "Americanization," long an immigrant ideal, has, in a nation so diverse and full of contradictions, become ever harder to define, let alone achieve.

One child in five in America is the child of immigrants, and their numbers increase each year. Very few will return to the country they barely remember. Who are they, and what America do they know?Based on an extraordinary interdisciplinary study that followed 400 newly arrived children from the Caribbean, China, Central America, and Mexico for five years, this book provides a compelling account of the lives, dreams, and frustrations of these youngest immigrants. Richly told portraits of high and low achievers are packed with unexpected ironies. When they arrive, most children are full of optimism and a respect for education. But poor neighborhoods and dull--often dangerous--schools can corrode hopes. The vast majority learn English--but it is the English of video games and the neighborhood, not that of standardized tests. For some of these children, those heading off to college, America promises to be a land of dreams. These lucky ones have often benefited from caring mentors, supportive teachers, or savvy parents. For others, the first five years are marked by disappointments, frustrations, and disenchantment. How can we explain their varied academic journeys?The children of immigrants, here to stay, are the future--and how they adapt will determine the nature of America in the twenty-first century.
