Canadian Economic History

Classic and Contemporary Approaches

By: M.H. Watkins

Contemporary methodologies include the "cliometric" style of historical analysis, econometrics, labour and regional study, and the changing parameters of government spending and public finance. The juxtaposition of classic theoretical statements with works by "outsiders" such as G.S. Kealey, B.D. Palmer, R.T. Naylor, R.E Ommer, among others, makes this a solid yet innovative record of the progress in economics over the last forty years. Canadian Economic History remains an essential classroom text.

Advances in Neurochemistry

Volume 3

By: B. W. Agranoff,M. H. Aprison

The original premise of the Editors in initiating this series was that there existed a readership ofneurochemists with considerable biochemical back ground who would make use of a series dedicated to both new develop ments and specialized reviews in neurochemistry. Having selected our authors, we have offered them virtually complete freedom to reflect and speculate in a field in which they have achieved prominence. The response to the first two volumes has been rewarding. The present one continues in this tradition. While we have not attempted to publish specialized volumes, the present volume contains two somewhat related chapters (Chapters 4 and 5, on the role of amino acid neurotransmitters). The first three chapters examine three diverse approaches, each of current interest, in neurochemi cal approaches to the molecular bases of neuronal and glial structure. B. W. Agranoff M. H.

Entrepreneurial Ecosystems for Tech Start-ups in India

Evolution, Structure and Role

By: M H Bala Subrahmanya

Why do tech start-ups emerge rapidly in emerging economies like India? What kind of entrepreneurial ecosystems have evolved for tech start-up promotion? What is their structure? What role do they play in the nurturing of tech start-ups to the advantage of regional economies? This book examines the trend of evolving entrepreneurial ecosystems for tech start-ups in India, ascertains its structure and examines its role in the nurturing of tech start-ups over its lifecycle, to bring out its implications for Indian economy. At the outset, it traces and conceptualizes what it terms an "ideal ecosystem" for tech start-ups in the Indian context, and explores the historical evolution of entrepreneurial ecosystems in two of the six leading start-up hubs in the country, namely, Bangalore and Hyderabad. It describes the characteristics and the structure of these ecosystems as they prevailed in the two start-up hubs, and analyses the role that they play in nurturing the development of tech start-ups. Finally, this book explores the ecosystem gaps that exist in the two cities, the factors causing these gaps, and makes policy recommendations to encourage the growth of a "healthy and vibrant" entrepreneurial ecosystem for the accelerated growth of tech start-ups in these two cities in particular, to promote employment, innovation and economic growth in the country at large. Policy makers, researchers, engineering and management students, technology and business mentors, angels, venture capitalists, and MNC executives will find the book informative, revealing and a source of valuable insights into a new, rapidly emerging entrepreneurial India.

Leave No Evidence

By: M.H. Irick

This is a compelling novel that causes one to think about daily routines. Ironically, the main character, Doug Donovan, lands in unusual circumstances leaving everyone around him highly vulnerable. Quite curiously in the midst of unraveling scandalous events he finds himself next on the killers list, but why? Realizing he is caught up in a dangerous and twisted MURDER for MONEY scheme...it may be too late to escape villainous intents. At a pivotal point, Donovan is reminded of a Scottish adage his great uncle taught him, To ignore the danger is to deserve the disaster. This advice becomes his maxim to wisdom for using good since and logic. Yet, while holding devout to his faith within the crossroads of trouble, the situation begs for a holy intervention. The story evolved after a true preternatural event occurred. The author surprisingly heard about her cousin, Sarahs son, whod received a set of keys that had once fit the locks to an authentic U.K. castle. The keys from the family ancestor, Uncle Cecil, had become the boys treasured gift. Curiously, after his unexpected demise, one of the keys had been paranormally movedmore than once. This incident prompted Marilyn to compile a riveting narrative that fashioned her first novel, Leave No Evidence. In her debut novel, M. H. Irick tells an absorbing story that has the potential to become a sought-after summer page-turner. Leave No Evidence islike the fusing of a Maeve Binchy novel and a mystery by J.D. Robb.

Remediation and Management of Degraded Lands

By: MH Wong

Remediation and Management of Degraded Lands presents the program of the first International Conference on the Remediation and Management of Degraded Lands. This collection reviews the extent of resource debasement and offers solutions for their restoration. The 14-part first section deals with mine management and rehabilitation. Topics include the devastating results of open-cut mining, open-pit mining, lignite surface mining and acid mining. Despite such ruin, the articles reveal the possibilities for reclamation. Part two devotes nine chapters to the management of derelict lands. Reforestation, soil fertility prognosis, and the uses of nitrogen are just a few of the covered subjects. This portion of the book pays special attention to the successful results of remediation in China and Hong Kong. The final division addresses soil contamination and reclamation. There are eleven chapters on subjects that include the single and interactive effects of aluminum, the effectiveness of EDTA/HCI and the value of pig-on-litter compost as a tool for edible crop growth. These and other innovative techniques make Remediation and Management of Degraded Lands a valuable addition to any environmental library.

Misinterest

Essays, Pensées, and Dreams

By: M. H. Bowker

The term "interest" lacks a precise antonym. In English, we have "disinterested" and "uninteresting," but we want for a term that denotes robust opposition to interest. The same appears to hold true in every other language (as far as we know). Interest's missing antonym reflects not merely a widespread lexical oversight, but a misrecognition of interest's complete and exact meaning. More importantly, the idea that interest has no opposite expresses a certain refusal to acknowledge the power of the impulse to extinguish interest, for the self and for others. Why then do we foreclose interest's possibility, degrade our (and others') capacities to experience interest, and destroy interest's objects? Why do we decline what interest proffers - which includes creative and subjective being, thinking, and relating - in favor of more primitive modes of survival, thoughtlessness, and nonbeing? Why do relationships - with ourselves, with others, with objects - toward which genuine interest draws us seem sometimes, if not often, unbearable? These questions are difficult. Their answers, even more so. MISINTEREST: Essays, Pensées, and Dreams attempts to approach them in an honest way, without making them fascinating, mysterious, boring, obscurantist, or fascinatingly mysteriously boringly obscurantist. Outwardly, MISINTEREST is concerned with dreams and forgetting and Eros and soaring dogs and groups and suicidal suburban teenagers and sex and jury duty and Nazis and fathers and hatred and holy parrots and fundamentalists and plagues and other things that may or may not be interesting. Ultimately, however, it seeks, like Jules Renard, "en restant exact" (in remaining true/real), to shed light on the establishment of misinterest, missingness, and mystery where and when they need not be, and, thus, on the psychic, familial, and political forces that compel us not to be when and where we ought. M.H. BOWKER is the author of ten books - including "Ostranenie: On Shame and Knowing" and "Escargotesque, or, What is Experience?" (both published with punctum) - and numerous papers in the areas of psychoanalytic theory, social and political philosophy, literary criticism, and critical pedagogy. He is a professor at a small college in upstate New York. Educated at Columbia University and the University of Maryland, College Park, he edits the Psychoanalytic Political Theory book series at Routledge and is the (North American) Editor of the Journal of Psycho-Social Studies. He is a recent Fulbright grant recipient and has taught approximately one hundred courses in a wide array of disciplines, including Political Science, Philosophy, Psychology, English, and more.

Bariatric Therapy

Alliance between Gastroenterologists and Surgeons

By: Elisabeth M.H. Mathus-Vliegen,Jérôme Dargent

This book aims to deepen collaboration between gastroenterologists and surgeons by providing endoscopists and gastroenterologists with a clear understanding of the anatomic alterations likely to be observed after bariatric surgery and acquainting bariatric surgeons with the possibilities offered by endoscopic treatment of obesity itself and of the complications associated with bariatric surgery. The treatment approach in patients with obesity and morbid obesity is usually stepwise, starting with dietary measures, exercise, and behavioral therapy, followed by pharmaceutical therapies, endoscopic bariatric therapy, and, finally, bariatric surgery. Endoscopists and gastroenterologists are involved first because the gastrointestinal tract is affected by obesity-related co-morbidity and second because it provides access for a range of treatment modalities involving endoscopy. Bariatric surgeons may need the assistance of endoscopists and gastroenterologists in the preoperative work-up of patients, in the perioperative period, when acute complications may require an endoscopic intervention, or in the late follow-up period, when complications or insufficient weight loss may be present. This book will be of value for both groups of specialists, enabling them to optimize their cooperation to the benefit of patients.
