Paperback. Condición: New. Religion, Culture, and the Monstrous: Of Gods and Monsters explores the intersection of the emerging field of "monster theory" within religious studies. With case studies from ancient Mesopotamia to contemporary valleys of the Himalayas to ghost tours in Savannah, Georgia, the volume examines the variegated nature of the monstrous as well as the cultural functions of monsters in shaping how we see the world and ourselves. In this, the authors constructively assess the state of the two fields of monster theory and religious studies, and propose new directions in how these fields can inform each other. The case studies included illuminate the ways in which monsters reinforce the categories through which a given culture sees the world. At the same time, the volume points to how monsters appear to question, disrupt, or challenge those categories, creating an 'unsettling' or surplus of meaning. …

The notion of combining a working farm with the headquarters grounds [of Domino's Pizza] nudged Birkert's building toward this ideal of rural conservation. An experimental farm nearby studies a survival strategy for the small family farm in the outer suburban context."--jacket ; VG/G. Book.…

There is no sense here that Chiang's men butchered for an eight-hour day and bled trade unionism dry."--Herman Mast III (University of Connecticut) ; "A Chinese city which owes a great debt to Western influence, Shanghai is the largest city in Asia, and one of its most fascinating. Complete with anecdotes and vignettes of everyday life, this vivid biography traces the city's transformation from treaty port to the commercial, industrial, and financial centre that played a vital role in the development of China's political and social consciousness." ; slight mark on textblock, else VG [This online listing has Chinese fonts].

Hardback. Condición: New. In an open economy, basic development strategies include promoting foreign exports, attracting foreign direct investment, and stimulating economic growth. Using time-series and panel data analyses, the first part of this book studies the causality and significance of these three strategies, individually or collectively, empirically and theoretically, during the catch-up growth and development phases of emerging East and Southeast Asian economies.While it is well-known that trade and investment are major catalysts for economic development and growth, the interaction and importance of all three strategies have seldom been studied together statistically and systematically. This well-researched scholarly book collects closely-related papers by Frank Hsiao and Mei-Chu Wang Hsiao and studies the causal relations and the degree of importance among these three strategies for policymakers, scholars and students of development studies and international economics.Another development strategy in open economies is reducing friction and volatility through government-to-government policy coordination. The second part of this book introduces the role of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region, and the possibility of monetary policy coordination between large countries and small countries in the Asia-Pacific region.…
