World Development Report 2000/2001: Attacking Poverty (World Development Report)
World Bank Manufacturer: A World Bank Publication ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 0195211294 |
Book Description
At the start of each decade the World Development Report focuses on poverty reduction. The World Development Report, now in its twenty-third edition, proposes an empowerment-security-opportunity framework of action to reduce poverty in the first decades of the twenty-first century. It views poverty as a multidimensional phenonmenon arising out of complex interactions between assets, markets, and institutions. This Report shows how the experience of poverty reduction in the last fifteen years has been remarkably diverse and how this experience has provided useful lessons as well as warnings against simplistic universal policies and interventions. It shows how current global trends present extraordinary opportunities for poverty reduction but also cause extraordinary risks, including growing inequality, marginalization, and social explosions. The World Development Report 2000/2001 explores the challenge of managing these risks in order to make the most of the opportunities for poverty reduction.Download Description
This report focuses on the dimensions of poverty, and how to create a better world, free of poverty. The analysis explores the nature, and evolution of poverty, and its causes, to present a framework for action. The opportunity for expanding poor people ' s assets is addressed, arguing that major reductions in human deprivation are indeed possible, that economic growth, inequality, and poverty reduction, can be harnessed through economic integration, and technological change, dependent not only on the evolvement of markets, but on the choices for public action at the global, national, and local levels. Actions to facilitate empowerment include state institutional responsiveness in building social institutions which will improve well-being, and health, to allow increased income-earning potential, access to education, and eventual removal of social barriers. Security aspects are enhanced, by assessing risk management towards reducing vulnerability to economic crises, and natural disasters. The report expands on the dimensions of human deprivation, to include powerlessness and voicelessness, vulnerability and fear. International dimensions are explored, through global actions to fight poverty, analyzing global trade, capital flows, and how to reform development assistance to forge change in the livelihoods of the poor.

Ordering Anarchy: Armies and Leaders in Tacitus' Histories
Rhiannon Ash Manufacturer: University of Michigan Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0472111132 |
Book Description
Customer Reviews:
Fascinating Historical Analysis, but not for ýbeginners'.......2000-03-31
Ash follows Tacitus' work, illustrating how he interpreted and reported the traumatic events that ensued the year Rome had four emperors. She not only explains Tacitus' techniques, but she also compares his works to others covering the same events.
I found this book to be riveting. However, it is of an academic nature and many readers may find the book a bit dry. The topic covered, is however, so enthralling that they will soon become enmeshed in the narrative and will be able to overlook the 'academia' inherent in the book. For those who are academics, this book is a wonderful research tool and has an extensive, and well-annotated, set of endnotes.
Potential readers would benefit from first having read Tacitus' Histories, as well as other works by ancient historians that wrote about the Roman Civil Wars of 68-9 A.D.

Radical Passion: Ottilie Assing's Reports from America and Letters to Frederick Douglass
Manufacturer: Peter Lang Publishing ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0820445266 |
Book Description
Radical Passion examines eighty essays and reports on the United States (1852-1865) by the German-American journalist Ottilie Assing (1819-1884) along with twenty-seven extant letters from Assing to Frederick Douglass during the years 1870-1879. A keen and critical observer of the American scene before and during the Civil War, Assing was passionately committed to her personal freedom and to political and social equality for African Americans. She believed in radical social movements, backed the German Revolution of 1848, and became an enthusiastic supporter of radical abolitionism, women's emancipation, and civil rights for black Americans. For almost three decades, she and Frederick Douglass were close intellectual collaborators and lovers. The reports and essays, originally written in German, are presented in their first English translation; an introduction provides biographical background and historical context.

Roy Barcroft, King of the Badmen

ASIN: 0944019323 |
Book Description
Finally... A long-awaited book about this great character actor. In this book, you will learn all about the "King of the Badmen," Roy Barcroft. Includes a detailed biography, information obtained from Barcroft's Social Security application and his death certificate, How he selected the name, "Roy Barcroft," letters and comments by Roy, Roy's fans speak out, complete filmography, and much, much more! Loaded with photos, many rare.Customer Reviews:
"well-like and highly respected Badman who was the King".......2003-02-17
Copeland has composed each section in his book to perfection ~ B-Western Badmen, Barcroft:A Tribute, Roy Barcroft Talks, Roy Talks About His Co-Workers, They're Writing About Roy Barcroft, Roy's Fans Speak Out, They Knew Roy Barcroft, An Interview with Director Bill Whitney (wonderful action director), Jamming with Roy, Roy vs. Rocky, Filmography, TV Appearances, More of the Author's Favorites, About the Author...and a beautiful forward by Monte Hale, who states "Roy was the best of the bad guys". Doug Nye contributes a section on "Monte Hale: '40s Cowboy Star "Giant" of a Nice Guy", looks at the lucky cowboy star of mid '40s.
I remember watching Barcroft in a variety of Republic Serials ~ "Manhunt of Mystery Island" (1945), as Captain Mephisto..."The Purple Monster Strikes" (1945), as the invading Martian..."G-Men Never Forget" (1948), a dual role as the honest police commissioner and the lead villain (good & bad look-alikes)..."Don Daredevil Rides Again" (1951)..."Radar Men from the Moon" (1952), as Retik. My favorite B-Westerns were the casting of ~ Wild "Bill" Elliott & Allan "Rocky" Lane vs the low handed dealings of Roy Barcroft, boss, leader of the gang or henchmen...every frame was B-Westerns at their best. With knock-down-drag-out fight scenes that gave you everything you ever wished for and more in an action film.
"King of the Badmen", touches on actors comments ~ Rex Allen, Don "Red" Barry, Wild Bill Elliott, Sunset Carson, Allan "Rocky" Lane, Roy Rogers, Dale Evans, Peggy Stewart, Linda Stirling, Terry Frost, Harry Carey Jr, Tris Coffin and Iron Eyes Cody...all agree Roy Barcroft was as beloved as anybody else in the entire business.
An interesting note, Bobby Copeland has copies of Barcroft's death certificate and Social Security application, and both show his real name as Howard Harold Ravenscroft born in 1902. Roy passed away on November 28, 1969 at the Motion Picture Home and Hospital of kidney cancer, he was 67 years old...Roy was one-of-a-kind actor and real gentlemen.
Copeland takes the reader into the off screen events that each and every "B-Western-film-buff" lives for. Knowing that Barcroft was one of the nicest people, well liked and highly respected by directors, producers and cast is another plus. Pictures galore and great interviews by his co-workers make this a collectors dream come true. Don't miss this one...now appearing at your local bookstore or dealer. Don't hesitate...rush out and pick up your copy today. Great reading in the days and weeks to come...I guarantee it!

Guyana Boy

ASIN: 1900715562 |
Book Description
Through the perspective of a child, this novel depicts the extremely hierarchical world of the colonized Guyana sugar plantation. Lilboy, the narrator, describes the liveliness and closeness of community and the restrictions it places on the opportunities of personal freedom of those working there. However, Lilboy describes how his family and friends cope with their seemingly bleak existences through maintaining their own rice plots, fishing, and celebrating with feasts and festivities. Written as a partial autobiography, this story recreates the sights, smells, sounds, and other sensual pleasures of a rural childhood within the plantation era.
