楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>Is Reading the Bible the Fastest Way to Lose Your Faith?</strong></p> <p>For centuries, the Bible was called "the Good Book," a moral and religious text that guides us into a relationship with God and shows us the right way to live. Today, however, some people argue the Bible is outdated and harmful, with many Christians unaware of some of the odd and disturbing things the Bible says.</p> <p><em>How (Not) to Read the Bible</em> tackles big questions like:</p> <ul> <li>Does the Bible degrade women?</li> <li>Is the Bible anti-science?</li> <li>How could a loving God command such violence in the Old Testament?</li> <li>Does the Bible endorse slavery?</li> </ul> <p>Bestselling author Dan Kimball guides you step-by-step in how to tackle many of the real questions that people wrestle with when reading the Bible and how to make sense of many of the more difficult and disturbing Bible passages.</p> <p>Filled with fun stories, visual illustrations, and memes reflecting popular cultural objections, <em>How (Not) to Read the Bible</em> is a lifeline for anyoneーChristians and doubters alikeーwho are confused or discouraged with questions about the Bible.</p> <p><strong>Yes, there are puzzling and disturbing Bible passages. . . But there are explanations!</strong></p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Apologia Pro Vita Sua Journey of Faith and Reflection in 19th-Century England【電子書籍】[ John Henry Newman ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "Apologia Pro Vita Sua," John Henry Newman constructs a compelling narrative of his spiritual journey and theological evolution, presented in a rich, autobiographical style. Written as a defense against criticisms of his conscience-driven transition from Anglicanism to Catholicism, Newman employs eloquent prose infused with philosophical reflections and deep personal insight. This work is not only a testament to his profound faith but also serves as a significant document of the 19th-century religious landscape, capturing the tensions between emerging modernity and traditional Christian beliefs. John Henry Newman (1801-1890) was a prominent theologian, Anglican priest, and later a cardinal in the Catholic Church. His journey from the Anglican ministry, where he formed the Oxford Movement advocating for a return to the Church's roots, to Catholicism was marked by intellectual rigor and profound spiritual contemplation. Newman'??s experiences and the resulting theological insights reflect not only a personal odyssey but also broader socio-religious challenges faced by believers of his time, shaping his iconic status in Christian thought. "Apologia Pro Vita Sua" is essential reading for anyone interested in the interplay between faith and modernity, offering a deeply personal exploration of belief that resonates with contemporary spiritual seekers. Newman's reflective style encourages readers to contemplate their own spiritual journeys, making this work a profound gift for both the student of theology and the reflective layperson.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Pro Football and the Proliferation of Protest Anthem Posture in a Divided America【電子書籍】[ Andrew Bolin ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Pro Football and the Proliferation of Protest: Anthem Kneeling and Standing in a Divided America examines the take-a-knee NFL protests, a trend that has led to deep political divisiveness in America. The author explores this phenomenon by incorporating analysis of media coverage, impact on attitudes and behaviors, and racial, religious, gendered, and political perspectives. The analysis allows readers to recognize both positive and negative prejudice and to proscribe possible solutions for political divisiveness.</p> <p>Protesting, anthems, ceremonies, and media coverage all demonstrate that this issue is a communication issue. This book examines the voices on both sides of the kneeling controversy in order to uncover the points at which one side is communicating and the other side refuses to listen.</p> <p>The studies in this volume look at the protest through four lenses: historically, through media coverage , through impact on public behaviors and attitudes, and from racial, religious, gendered, and political identification perspectives. The contributors worked in conjunction with one another, incorporating different viewpoints into each chapter as they were completed. All studies were conducted under the guidance of the book’s editor to separate the work effectively and to end in a set of voices that complement each other and allow for overall conclusions and recommendations. This book is useful for a wide range of scholars including race, religion, political studies, gender studies, and communication studies.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Reason and Revelation in Byzantine Antioch The Christian Translation Program of Abdallah ibn al-Fadl【電子書籍】[ Alexandre M. Roberts ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>What happened to ancient Greek thought after Antiquity? What impact did Abrahamic religions have on medieval Byzantine and Islamic scholars who adapted and reinvigorated this ancient philosophical heritage? <em>Reason and Revelation in Byzantine Antioch</em> tackles these questions by examining the work of the eleventh-century Christian theologian Abdallah ibn al-Fadl, who undertook an ambitious program of translating Greek texts, ancient and contemporary, into Arabic. Poised between the Byzantine Empire that controlled his home city of Antioch and the Arabic-speaking cultural universe of Syria-Palestine, Egypt, Aleppo, and Iraq, Ibn al-Fadl engaged intensely with both Greek and Arabic philosophy, science, and literary culture. Challenging the common narrative that treats Christian and Muslim scholars in almost total isolation from each other in the Middle Ages, Alexandre M. Roberts reveals a shared culture of robust intellectual curiosity in the service of tradition that has had a lasting role in Eurasian intellectual history.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Reign of Terror How the 9/11 Era Destabilized America and Produced Trump【電子書籍】[ Spencer Ackerman ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>**A <em>New York Times</em> Critics’ Top Book of 2021</p> <p>"An impressive combination of diligence and verve, deploying Ackerman’s deep stores of knowledge as a national security journalist to full effect. The result is a narrative of the last 20 years that is upsetting, discerning and brilliantly argued." ー<em>The New York Times</em></p> <p>"One of the most illuminating books to come out of the Trump era." ー<em>New York Magazine</em></p> <p>An examination of the profound impact that the War on Terror had in pushing American politics and society in an authoritarian direction**</p> <p>For an entire generation, at home and abroad, the United States has waged an endless conflict known as the War on Terror. In addition to multiple ground wars, the era pioneered drone strikes and industrial-scale digital surveillance; weakened the rule of law through indefinite detentions; sanctioned torture; and manipulated the truth about it all. These conflicts have yielded neither peace nor victory, but they have transformed America. What began as the persecution of Muslims and immigrants has become a normalized feature of American politics and nationalsecurity, expanding the possibilities for applying similar or worse measures against other targets at home, as the summer of 2020 showed. A politically divided and economically destabilized country turned the War on Terror into a culturalーand then a tribalーstruggle. It began on the ideological frontiers of the Republican Party before expanding to conquer the GOP, often with the acquiescence of the Democratic Party. Today’s nativist resurgence walked through a door opened by the 9/11 era. And that door remains open.</p> <p><em>Reign of Terror</em> shows how these developments created an opportunityfor American authoritarianism and gave rise to Donald Trump. It shows that Barack Obama squandered an opportunity to dismantle the War on Terror after killing Osama bin Laden. By the end of his tenure, the war had metastasized into a bitter, broader cultural struggle in search of a demagogue like Trump to lead it.</p> <p><em>Reign of Terror</em> is a pathbreaking and definitive union of journalism and intellectual history with the power to transform how America understands its national security policies and their catastrophic impact on civic life.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

National Independent Human Rights Institutions for Children Protecting and Promoting Children’s Rights【電子書籍】[ Ursula Kilkelly ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>Following the 30th anniversary of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in 2020, and the creation of the UN Sustainable Development Goals, there is increased interest in and a need to develop national human rights’ bodies for children’s rights. This book provides an in-depth look at one domestic independent children’s rights institution: the Irish Ombudsman for Children’s Office, to highlight the learnings for an international audience and the methodologies that can be used to promote and protect children’s rights at a national level. Co-authored by Ireland’s first Ombudsman for Children and a children’s rights professor, the book will present an original and informed analysis of how a national human rights institution can advocate, most effectively, for the rights of children. By using illustrative case studies, the book will highlight how the powers of a national human rights institution can be put to strategic use to address specific children’s rights deficits in areas of child protection, youth detention and public awareness about children’s rights. Each chapter focusses on a case study, identifies a problem, the approach or intervention by the Ombudsman for Children, the outcome and reflects on lessons learned. It ensures that the cases can be extracted, examined and replicated in other jurisdictions by an international community interested in the promotion, monitoring and protection of children’s rights. It speaks to those interested in Human Rights; Children’s Rights; Socio-legal studies, Social Work; Childhood Studies; Administrative Law, Constitutional Law and International Law, and to practitioners and policy-makers in this field.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Role of ‘Experts' in International and European Decision-Making Processes Advisors, Decision Makers or Irrelevant Actors?【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア

<p>Experts are increasingly relied on in decision-making processes at international and European levels. Their involvement in those processes, however, is contested. This timely book on the role of 'experts' provides a broad-gauged analysis of the issues raised by their involvement in decision-making processes. The chapters explore three main recurring themes: the rationales for involving experts and ensuing legitimacy problems; the individual and collective dimensions of expert involvement in decision making; and experts and politics and the politics of expertise. With contributions from leading scholars and practitioners, they theorize the experts' involvement in general and address their role in the policy areas of environment, trade, human rights, migration, financial regulation, and agencification in the European Union.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Scientific Basis of National Progress, Including that of Morality Exploring the Impact of Science on National Development and Moral Values【電子書籍】[ George Gore ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "The Scientific Basis of National Progress, Including that of Morality," George Gore expertly weaves an intricate exploration of how scientific advancements undergird social and moral development. The book is characterized by a rigorous analytical style, drawing on empirical evidence and philosophical inquiry to argue that moral progress is inexorably linked to a nation's intellectual evolution. Gore situates his work within the broader context of 19th-century thought, engaging with contemporary debates on the relationship between science, society, and ethics, providing readers with a comprehensive foundation for understanding the moral imperatives of national development. George Gore was a prominent figure of his time, known for his interdisciplinary approach, combining insights from natural sciences with moral philosophy. His background in scientific research and a keen interest in social reform compelled him to investigate how a scientific worldview could not only inform public policy but also elevate moral standards within society. This dual commitment to empirical rigor and ethical reasoning emerges as a hallmark of Gore'??s scholarly endeavor, reflecting the dynamic intellectual climate of the Victorian era. This book is an essential read for those interested in the intersections of science, ethics, and national identity. Gore's meticulous research and philosophical insights offer contemporary readers valuable perspectives on how moral considerations can and should inform societal progress. A must-read for scholars, educators, and anyone invested in the social sciences.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Imperial Culture and Colonial Projects The Portuguese-Speaking World from the Fifteenth to the Eighteenth Centuries【電子書籍】[ Diogo Ramada Curto Curto ]

<p>Beyond the immeasurable political and economic changes it brought, colonial expansion exerted a powerful effect on Portuguese culture. And as this book demonstrates, the imperial culture that emerged over the course of four centuries was hardly a homogeneous whole, as triumphalist literature and other cultural forms mingled with recurrent doubts about the expansionist project. In a series of illuminating case studies, Ramada Curto follows the history and perception of major colonial initiatives while integrating the complex perspectives of participating agents to show how the empire’s life and culture were richly inflected by the operations of imperial expansion.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

On the Prospects of Christianity Bernard Shaw's Preface to Androcles and the Lion【電子書籍】[ Bernard Shaw ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In "On the Prospects of Christianity," George Bernard Shaw embarks on a critical exploration of Christian doctrine through the lens of early 20th-century thought, combining wit and incisive commentary with his signature dramatic flair. This provocative treatise questions the established norms of faith and morality, offering a fresh perspective on the societal implications of Christianity. Written during a time when traditional beliefs were increasingly challenged by modernity, Shaw's work reflects a literary style that is both polemical and engaging, blending philosophical inquiry with sharp satire in a dialectical form that fosters intellectual debate rather than dogmatic adherence. As an influential playwright and social critic, Shaw's views on religion were deeply rooted in his experiences with the dogmas of his youth and his commitment to exposing the flaws of societal conventions. His background in the Fabian Societyーa socialist organization dedicated to reforming society through gradual change rather than revolutionーimpacted his critique of religious institutions, positioning him as a thinker ahead of his time, intent on addressing the ethical demands of his age. "On the Prospects of Christianity" is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the interplay between faith and reason. Shaw's bold assertions and engaging prose invite readers to reflect on the relevance of religious beliefs in contemporary society, making it a vital text for scholars, theologians, and thoughtful laypersons alike.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Maclaren's background and experience imbue his work with both personal conviction and academic rigor, allowing readers to appreciate the intricate layers of meaning within these prophetic books. This volume is highly recommended for theologians, clergy, and lay readers alike who seek a deeper understanding of the prophetic messages of Isaiah and Jeremiah.

Religious Experience Reconsidered A Building-Block Approach to the Study of Religion and Other Special Things【電子書籍】[ Ann Taves ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p><strong>How the sciences of the mind can advance the study of religion</strong></p> <p>The essence of religion was once widely thought to be a unique form of experience that could not be explained in neurological, psychological, or sociological terms. In recent decades scholars have questioned the privileging of the idea of religious experience in the study of religion, an approach that effectively isolated the study of religion from the social and natural sciences. <em>Religious Experience Reconsidered</em> lays out a framework for research into religious phenomena that reclaims experience as a central concept while bridging the divide between religious studies and the sciences.</p> <p>Ann Taves shifts the focus from "religious experience," conceived as a fixed and stable thing, to an examination of the processes by which people attribute meaning to their experiences. She proposes a new approach that unites the study of religion with fields as diverse as neuroscience, anthropology, sociology, and psychology to better understand how these processes are incorporated into the broader cultural formations we think of as religious or spiritual. Taves addresses a series of key questions: how can we set up studies without obscuring contestations over meaning and value? What is the relationship between experience and consciousness? How can research into consciousness help us access and interpret the experiences of others? Why do people individually or collectively explain their experiences in religious terms? How can we set up studies that allow us to compare experiences across times and cultures?</p> <p><em>Religious Experience Reconsidered</em> demonstrates how methods from the sciences can be combined with those from the humanities to advance a naturalistic understanding of the experiences that people deem religious.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

National Security Law, Procedure, and Practice【電子書籍】[ Caroline Stone ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This detailed, practitioner text, explains national security law in all its aspects. It collates and explains the core elements of the law, both substantive and procedural, and the practical issues which may arise in national security litigation. The book draws on the professional experience of a team of expert contributors. The first part explores the meaning of “national security”, examines the respective roles in this area of Parliament, the executive and the courts, and explains the law relating to the security and intelligence agencies, their powers and oversight. The core of the book addresses the various executive measures used to disrupt terrorism, espionage and other hostile state activity, usually on the basis of secret intelligence, and the civil proceedings that may result from executive action taken for the national security purposes. The third part addresses national security and the criminal law. The remaining chapters address national security law in such diverse contexts as inquests, inquiries, employment, vetting, family, freedom of information, and data protection proceedings. National security law is now of relevance to a wide range of practising lawyers, judges, legislators, policymakers, oversight bodies, and academic experts working in a variety of legal fields well beyond public law. The highly-specialised nature of the topic make this book a vital text not only for those seeking an overview of the law, but also for experienced practitioners instructed to act in proceedings in which national security issues may arise. The intense media and public scrutiny which accompanies many national security cases will also make this book of interest to a wider audience seeking to understand the legal context of such cases.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Non-Judicial Remedies and EU Administration Protection of Rights versus Preservation of Autonomy【電子書籍】[ Paola Chirulli ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>The increasing number of executive tasks assigned to EU institutions and agencies has resulted in a greater demand for justice that can no longer be satisfied by the courts alone. This has led to the development of a wide range of administrative remedies that have become a central part of the EU administrative justice system. This book examines the important theoretical and practical issues raised by this phenomenon.</p> <p>The work focuses on five administrative remedies: internal review; administrative appeals to the Commission against decisions of executive and decentralised agencies; independent administrative review of decisions of decentralised agencies; complaints to the EU Ombudsman; and complaints to the EU Data Protection Supervisor. The research rests on the idea that there is a complex, and at times ambivalent, relationship between administrative remedies and the varying degrees of autonomy of EU institutions and bodies, offices and agencies. The work draws on legislation, internal rules of executive bodies, administrative practices and specific case law, data and statistics. This empirical approach helps to unveil the true dynamics present within these procedures and demonstrates that whilst administrative remedies may improve the relationship between individuals and the EU administration, their interplay with administrative autonomy might lead to a risk of fragmentation and incoherence in the EU administrative justice system.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Global Public Procurement Theories and Practices【電子書籍】
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This book discusses current theories and practices in the field of public procurement. Over the past few decades, public procurement has had to evolve conceptually and organizationally in the face of unrelenting budget constraints, government downsizing, public demand for increased transparency in public procurement, as well as greater concerns about efficiency, fairness and equity. Procurement professionals have also had to deal with a changeable climate produced by emerging technology, environmental concerns, and tension between complex regional trade agreements and national socioeconomic goals. This volume presents sixteen case studies focusing on the themes of public procurement as a policy tool and performance-based public procurement. The first section discusses public procurement as a policy tool and the challenges involved in balancing the competing interests of market forces, legal requirements, political pressures, and environmental concerns. The second section discusses performance-based public procurement, highlighting the frameworks used to assess procurement systems, the gaps between policy and practice, and strategies for bridging those gaps. The final section of the book discusses current issues in procurement, such as the Trans-Pacific Partnership, risk mitigation, and procurement as a profession. By combining theory and analysis with evidence from the real world, this book is of equal use to academics, policy makers, and procurement professionals.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

<p>In 'Pax Mundi,' K. P. Arnoldson delves into the intricate tapestry of global interrelations amidst the backdrop of humanity'??s quest for peace. This work is characterized by its lyrical prose and philosophical depth, engaging readers in a multi-faceted exploration of political ideologies, cultural clashes, and the perennial hope for unity. Set against a richly detailed landscape, Arnoldson's narrative bridges fiction and philosophy, inviting contemplative engagement with contemporary societal issues through a lens of historical allegory and reflective storytelling.

Arnoldson, an accomplished theorist of international relations and a passionate advocate for global understanding, draws from his extensive academic background and personal experiences in conflict zones.

Arnoldson's insights are informed by a deep awareness of political currents and a relentless optimism about the human capacity for understanding and reconciliation, making 'Pax Mundi' not just a novel but a clarion call for harmony. I wholeheartedly recommend 'Pax Mundi' to readers who seek an intellectually stimulating narrative that grapples with pressing global issues while remaining profoundly humanistic. Arnoldson's narrative resonates with urgency, making it an essential read for those yearning for a deeper understanding of the world'??s intertwined destinies.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

Public City/Public Sex Homosexuality, Prostitution, and Urban Culture in Nineteenth-Century Paris【電子書籍】[ Andrew Israel Ross ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>In the 1800s, urban development efforts modernized Paris and encouraged the creation of brothels, boulevards, caf?s, dancehalls, and even public urinals. However, complaints also arose regarding an apparent increase in public sexual activity, and the appearance of “individuals of both sexes with depraved morals” in these spaces. Andrew Israel Ross’s illuminating study, <em>Public City/Public Sex,</em> chronicles the tension between the embourgeoisement and democratization of urban culture in nineteenth-century Paris and the commercialization and commodification of a public sexual culture, the emergence of new sex districts, as well as the development of gay and lesbian subcultures.</p> <p><em>Public City/Public Sex</em> examines how the notion that male sexual desire required suitable outlets shaped urban policing and development. Ross traces the struggle to control sex in public and argues that it was the very effort to police the city that created new opportunities for women who sold sex and men who sought sex with other men. Placing public sex at the center of urban history, Ross shows how those who used public spaces played a central role in defining the way the city was understood.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

The Political Economy of Rural Electrification in India - Comparison to South African Experience, Colonialism and Independence, Kutir Jyothi Program (KYP), Post-Independence Distributive Politics【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ]
楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア
|
<p>This late 2018 report has been professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction. As developing countries climb the ladder of economic and social development, providing electricity to their poorest citizens becomes a social imperative, but the distribution of electricity in poverty-stricken regions is frequently more complex than simply installing electrical towers. This study focuses on rural electrification in India; how politics interacts with technical and economic factors in the design and implementation of the government's electrification schemes. It finds that entrenched political interests, developed during Britain's colonial era and cultivated in the years since independence, have historically been more interested in rent-seeking and treating electricity as a political favor than in developing electrical infrastructure. India's unique legacy of colonial, distributive, and bureaucratic politics have resulted in a patronage-oriented political economy that affects the relationship between citizens and would-be electrical providers and also has direct impacts on investment and development in the electricity sector.</p> <p>This compilation includes a reproduction of the 2019 Worldwide Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community.</p> <p>I. The Political Economy of Rural Electrification in India: An Overview * A. Major Research Question and Findings * B. Significance of the Research Question * C. Literature Review * D. Argument and Study Organization * II. The Technical Dimensions of Rural Electrification in Developing Countries * A. Grid Scheme * B. Non-Grid Scheme * C. South Africa's Electrification Experience: A Comparative Base Line * D. Conclusion * III. The Distributive Politics of Electrification in India * A. Colonialism and Independence * B. Post-Independence Distributive Politics * C. The Evolution of Electrification Programs in India * 1. Kutir Jyothi Program (KYP) * 2. Rural Electricity Supply Technology Mission and the Electricity Act * 3. Rajiv Gandhi Grameen Vidyutikaran Yojana (RGGVY) * 4. Deendayal Upadhyaya Gram Jyoti Yojana (DDUGJY) * 5. Conclusion * IV. Conclusions and Implications * A. Barriers to Electrification * B. Key Findings</p> <p>What explains the patterns of rural electrification in India? This study examines the politics of rural electrification in India, including an assessment of the extent to which corruption and colonial roots played a role, in order to provide the context surrounding the technological/engineering, political, and economic factors that determine how and where electrification is implemented. It finds that entrenched political interests, developed during Britain's colonial era and cultivated in the years since independence, have historically been more interested in rent-seeking and treating electricity as a political favor than in developing electrical infrastructure. India's unique legacy of colonial, distributive, and bureaucratic politics have resulted in a patronage-oriented political economy that affects the relationship between citizens and would-be electricity providers and also has direct impacts on investment and development in the electricity sector.</p>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

This approach also provides an integrated introduction to multilevel or hierarchical linear models and logistic regression. Finally, <em>Data Analysis</em> provides guidance for the treatment of outliers and other problematic aspects of data analysis. It is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses in data analysis and offers an integrated approach that is very accessible and easy to teach.</p> <p>Highlights of the third edition include:</p> <ul> <li></li> <li>a new chapter on logistic regression;</li> <li></li> <li>expanded treatment of mixed models for data with multiple random factors;</li> <li></li> <li>updated examples;</li> <li></li> <li>an enhanced website with PowerPoint presentations and other tools that demonstrate the concepts in the book; exercises for each chapter that highlight research findings from the literature; data sets, R code, and SAS output for all analyses; additional examples and problem sets; and test questions.</li> </ul>画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
