Paperback. Condición: Good. Henry II was an enigma to contemporaries, and has excited widely divergent judgments ever since. Dramatic incidents of his reign, such as his quarrel with Archbishop Becket and his troubled relations with his wife, Eleanor of Aquitaine, and his sons, have attracted the attention of historical novelists, playwrights, and filmmakers, but with no unanimity of interpretation. That he was a great king there can be no doubt. Yet his motives and intentions are not easy to divine, and it is Professor Warren's contention that concentration on the great crises of the reign can lead to distortion. This book is therefore a comprehensive reappraisal of the reign based, with rare understanding, on contemporary sources; it provides a coherent and persuasive revaluation of the man and the king, and is, in itself an eloquent and impressive achievement.…

Paperback. Condición: Very Good. The Sung Dynasty (960-1279) was a paradoxical era for Chinese women. This work shows what it was like to be a woman in Sung times, from having a marriage arranged, serving parents-in-law, rearing children, and coping with concubines, to deciding what to do if widowed. Focusing on marriage, it views family life from the perspective of women.…

Paperback. Condición: Good. Drawing on two years of ethnographic fieldwork in two impoverished California communities--one made up of recent immigrants from Mexico, the other of U.S.-born Chicano citizens--this book provides an invaluable comparative perspective on Latino poverty in contemporary America. In northern California's high-tech Silicon Valley, author Daniel Dohan shows how recent immigrants get by on low-wage babysitting and dish-cleaning jobs. In the housing projects of Los Angeles, he documents how families and communities of U.S.-born Mexican Americans manage the social and economic dislocations of persistent poverty. Taking readers into worlds where public assistance, street crime, competition for low-wage jobs, and family, pride, and cross-cultural experiences intermingle, The Price of Poverty offers vivid portraits of everyday life in these Mexican American communities while addressing urgent policy questions such as: What accounts for joblessness? How can we make sense of crime in poor communities? Does welfare hurt or help.…

Hardback. Condición: Fair. Storicamente, la Cina sempre stata vista come un grande esportatore e una destinazione per l'outsourcing e gli IDE. Sebbene oggi la Cina sia la seconda economia mondiale, ha certamente il potere di investire pesantemente in altri Paesi invece di essere semplicemente investita. La Cina intrattiene profonde relazioni commerciali con i Paesi Bassi sin dal XVII secolo. Il commercio olandese con la Cina composto principalmente da scambi di mansioni invece che dal tradizionale commercio di beni, dove gli olandesi sembrano aver esternalizzato le mansioni di produzione e assemblaggio alla Cina, mentre la Cina ha esternalizzato le attivit di distribuzione e gestione del commercio ai Paesi Bassi. Questa natura complementare getta luce anche sulle motivazioni degli IDE: quali sono le dotazioni relative degli olandesi che hanno determinato questa decisione di fare (cio di aprire una filiale internazionale) piuttosto che semplicemente di comprare (cio di esternalizzare) dai Paesi Bassi? Il presente lavoro si concentra sulla ricerca delle determinanti degli IDE cinesi nei Paesi Bassi, data l'opportunit per le aziende cinesi di ridurre i costi di transazione con questa decisione di localizzazione. Utilizzando le determinanti trovate, si spiegher il perch della decisione di make not buy.…
