English Hardback 276 pages
Published November 2005 by Oxford University Press
ISBN: SKU:
An economist's version of The Way Things Work, this engaging volume is part field guide to economics and part expose of the economic principles lurking behind daily events, explaining everything from traffic jams to high coffee prices.
The Undercover Economist is for anyone who's wondered why the gap between rich and poor nations is so great, or why they can't seem to find a decent second-hand car, or how to outwit Starbucks. This book offers the hidden story behind these and other questions, as economist Tim Harford ranges from Africa, Asia, Europe, and of course the United States to reveal how supermarkets, airlines, and coffee chains--to name just a few--are vacuuming money from our wallets. Harford punctures the myths surrounding some of today's biggest controversies, including the high cost of health-care; he reveals why certain environmental laws can put a smile on a landlord's face; and he explains why some industries can have high profits for innocent reasons, while in other industries something sinister is going on. Covering an array of economic concepts including scarce resources, market power, efficiency, price gouging, market failure, inside information, and game theory, Harford sheds light on how these forces shape our day-to-day lives, often without our knowing it.
Showing us the world through the eyes of an economist, Tim Harford reveals that everyday events are intricate games of negotiations, contests of strength, and battles of wits. Written with a light touch and sly wit, The Undercover Economist turns "the dismal science" into a true delight.

English Paperback 259 pages
Published July 2005 by Earthscan
ISBN: SKU:
* From one of the 'gurus' of development and author of the best selling Participatory Workshops
* Chock-full of provocative and actionable ideas drawn from four decades of development work and written in Robert Chambers' infectious and highly readable style
Our world seems entangled in systems increasingly dominated by power, greed, ignorance, self-deception and denial, with spiralling inequity and injustice. Against a backdrop of climate change, failing ecosystems, poverty, crushing debt and corporate exploitation, the future of our world looks dire and the solutions almost too monumental to consider.
Yet all is not lost. Robert Chambers, one of the 'glass is half full' optimists of international development, suggests that the problems can be solved and everyone has the power at a personal level to take action, develop solutions and remake our world as it can and should be. Chambers peels apart and analyzes aspects of development that have been neglected or misunderstood. In each chapter, he presents an earlier writing which he then reviews and reflects upon in a contemporary light before harvesting a wealth of powerful conclusions and practical implications for the future. The book draws on experiences from Africa, Asia and elsewhere, covering topics and concepts as wide and varied as irreversibility, continuity and commitment; administrative capacity as a scarce resource; procedures and principles; participation in the past, present and future; scaling up; behaviour and attitudes; responsible wellbeing; and concepts for development in the 21st century.

* Unique color atlas graphically illustrates the state of the world’s environment and development
The concept of “sustainable development” was first introduced at the time of the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio. It had become clear that existing modes of growth were depleting the planet’s resources while a vast majority of its inhabitants were trapped in poverty. Several thousand associations were represented at Rio when over 170 heads of state signed a plan of action for the 21st century – Agenda 21. Agenda 21 sets out a proposal for sustainable development that combines several goals: presevation of the environment, social equity and economic efficiency. It aims to ensure the well-being of the world’s people without compromising the future of generations to come.
What is the situation midway through the first decade of the new century? How has Agenda 21 been implemented on the ground? What commitments have been made by governments, business and local populations? What shape is the Earth in today? Have living standards improved? Sustainable development efforts attempt to provide answers to such questions using econmics, environmental and human indicators. Thanks to these new sources of information we now know more, for example, about the links between social and ecological inequality.
This Atlas offers “snap shots” of the global situation, supported by socio-economic, geopolitical and environmental data. Topics – including access to education, the gulf between living standards in the North and the South, women’s civil rights, climate change and international solidarity – are presented in the form of thirty succinct presentations accompanied by forty full-colour maps.
This is a clear, concise and attractive reference will appeal to all individuals and organizations concerned about this issue.

Information and communication technology (ICT) is rapidly evolving, changing rich and poor societies alike. It has become a powerful tool for participating in the global economy and offering new opportunities for development efforts. It has been 20 years since the first telephone operator was privatized and a little over 10 since the World Wide Web emerged. How have the ICT sector and its role in development evolved? What have we learned? How can we move forward?
The World Information and Communication for Development Report 2006 contains lessons from both developed and developing countries. It examines the roles of the public and private sectors, identifying the challenges and benefits of adopting and expanding ICT use. The report assesses topics essential to building an information society, such as investment and access. It introduces the new World Bank ICT Index, which ranks 144 economies based on key indicators of ICT development. The rankings and indicators enable comparisons both over time and across economies. At-a-glance country tables contain the most recent national data on ICT for 144 economies.

Published August 2005 by University of Chicago Press ISBN: SKU:
For decades, Conservation International has devoted itself not only to saving endangered regions on the planet but also to chronicling, in lavish volumes, the biodiversity of these areas. These volumes, according to Choice, are"a superbly produced . . . source of hard-to-find information on biodiversity, biogreography, and conservation."
Hotspots Revisited continues this rich tradition, drawing on the organization's continuing work to identify, research, and document biologically diverse yet dangerously threatened regions. The first Hotspots volume identified twenty-five endangered regions; Hotspots Revisited reveals an astonishing nine additional areas, from Melanesia to northern Mexico, that now meet the same criteria.
Hotspots Revisited presents the most up-to-date analyses of the ecology of these endangered areas—including new information on freshwater fish and other animal populations. But the heart of the volume is in the hundreds of vibrant color photographs of the animals and plants under threat. Magnificent in conception and flawless in execution, Hotspots Revisited is equally at home on a scientist's shelf or an ecotourist's coffee table.

Information – regular, systematic, reliable – is the life-blood of democracy and the fuel of effective management. Surely today there is no problem with information, for this is the age of information overload. It pours onto our computer screens and out of our printers. Indeed, many governments claim, often with some justification, to be more open and transparent than ever before. But what if the life-blood is contaminated, or the fuel polluted? Then the body politic sickens and the engine of public management runs rough. It is the vital issue of the quality of the information we receive that this book addresses.

Building Effective Evaluation Capacity: Lessons from Practice |

Author: Richard Boyle and Donald Lemaire, Editors |
|
|
|
In the 1960s, policy and program evaluation was used to improve government programs and enhance monitoring. In the 70s and 80s, evaluation was refined as a tool of accountability, via the budgetary process, to assess government performance against standards and objectives. This book draws upon 3 decades of experience and observation to derive prescriptive lessons. A wealth of illustrative case studies of good practice highlight the book. Rather than proposing a single model for evaluation capacity development, this comparative approach allows readers o apply the findings to their own circumstances.

Author: Ray C Rist and Nicoletta Stame, Editors |
|
|
|
In this twelfth volume in the series, authors from 14 nations address issues from multiple vantage points. The current era is characterised by the emergence of an increasingly global set of pressures for governments to perform effectively, not just efficiently, and to demonstrate that their performance is producing desired results. Information technology allows enormous quantities of information to be stored, sorted, analysed and made available at little or no cost. The result for those in the evaluation community is that, while individual evaluations are still conducted and reported upon, they are a rapidly diminishing source of information. In the new environment, ever accelerating political and organisational demands and expectations are reframing thinking about the definition of what constitutes evaluation and what we understand as its applications.

Evaluation is a controversial and little understood strategy of public governance, control, and decision-making. Public policy and program evaluation is a recent addition to the great chain of attempts to use the brainpower of scholars and scientists to further the interests of the state. Evaluation is the process of distinguishing the worthwhile from the worthless, the precious from the useless; Evaluation implies looking backward in order to be able to steer forward better.

The End of Poverty: Growing Prosperity in an Age of Extremes |
:Download
|
|
|
Author: Jeffrey D. Sachs |
|
|
|
Marrying vivid eyewitness storytelling to his laserlike analysis, Jeffrey Sachs sets the stage by drawing a vivid conceptual map of the world economy and the different categories into which countries fall. Then, in a tour de force of elegance and compression, he explains why, over the past two hundred years, wealth has diverged across the planet in the manner that it has and why the poorest nations have been so markedly unable to escape the cruel vortex of poverty. The groundwork laid, he explains his methods for arriving, like a clinical internist, at a holistic diagnosis of a country's situation and the options it faces. Rather than deliver a worldview to readers from on high, Sachs leads them along the learning path he himself followed, telling the remarkable stories of his own work in Bolivia, Poland, Russia, India, China, and Africa as a way to bring readers to a broad-based understanding of the array of issues countries can face and the way the issues interrelate. He concludes by drawing on everything he has learned to offer an integrated set of solutions to the interwoven economic, political, environmental, and social problems that most frequently hold societies back. In the end, he leaves readers with an understanding, not of how daunting the world's problems are, but how solvable they are-and why making the effort is a matter both of moral obligation and strategic self-interest. A work of profound moral and intellectual vision that grows out of unprecedented real-world experience, The End of Poverty is a road map to a safer, more prosperous future for the world.
From "probably the most important economist in the world" (The New York Times Magazine), legendary for his work around the globe on economies in crisis, a landmark exploration of the roots of economic prosperity and the path out of extreme poverty for the world's poorest citizens.
