Beschreibung

In "The Seven Great Monarchies Of The Ancient Eastern World: Chaldaea," George Rawlinson meticulously explores the rich tapestry of Chaldaean civilization, uncovering its intricate history, cultural practices, and political structures. Rawlinson employs a scholarly yet accessible literary style, drawing from a variety of historical sources to provide an authoritative narrative that engages both scholars and general readers alike. This work is positioned within the broader context of 19th-century historiography, where the excavation of ancient texts and artifacts renewed interest in Mesopotamian culture, thus enhancing our understanding of this pivotal region in human history. George Rawlinson, an eminent historian and a member of the Victorian intellectual milieu, was directly influenced by the era's fascination with the East and its archaeological advancements. His extensive background in classical studies and his proficiency in translations of cuneiform inscriptions underscore his commitment to illuminating the complexities of ancient civilizations. Rawlinson'Äôs expertise not only enriches this specific volume but also reflects his lifelong dedication to bringing the narratives of ancient monarchies to a contemporary audience. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in ancient history, archaeology, and the evolution of early civilizations. Rawlinson'Äôs blend of thorough research and captivating prose invites readers to traverse the landscape of Chaldaea, providing a deeper appreciation of its enduring legacy in the fabric of human society.

    Modernising Irish Government presents the major historical turning points in the development of Irish public services with a particular focus on the civil service, covering the mid-nineteenth-century reforms, the foundations of the State and the Lemass-Whittaker economic initiative. It introduces the Strategic Management Initiative, its origins and its impact, discussed in terms of efficiency, responsibility and democracy.
    Authors Neil Collins, Terry Cradden and Patrick Butler examine the current, key issues within the Civil Service, including the contentious issue of decentralisation. Providing reviews of the institutional framework for regulating monopolies in such sectors as telecommunications, aviation and retail competition, they present a critique of the new kinds of relationships between government and the people by reviewing Social Partnership, the Citizen Charters of government departments and other similar instruments.
    This textbook at once examines the scale, scope and structure of the delivery of services to the public and their relationship to the civil service, government departments, commercial semi-state companies and other public bodies, while identifying a number of significant failures in service delivery in detail and offering an analysis for their reasons.

    The world is encountering multiple crises—climate, droughts, floods, energy, food, and pandemics, to name a few. We have a problem, this is the solution. 
     
     
     
    Capitalism and Crises is about how capitalism can fix them—how it can solve not cause them. The reason why it has caused them is that we have misconceived the nature of our capitalist system. We have failed to understand the key institution at the heart of it—business—and as a result we have allowed it to cause as well as solve problems. This book describes why this has happened and what needs to change to address it. 
     
     
     
    Drawing on history, philosophy, psychology, and biology as well economics, law, and finance, Mayer describes what has gone wrong, what needs to change, and how to fix it. He sets out the big challenges that capitalism must address and how it should set about doing that, and discusses how financial institutions should be at the heart of this, and how the public sector can work with the private on a common purpose of solving problems and creating shared prosperity. Capitalism and Crises provides an inspiring and motivational roadmap of how we as practitioners, policymakers, consumers, employees, communities, students, and citizens of the world can together tackle the challenges of the twenty-first century—to flourish and survive.

    Philosopher Kwame Anthony Appiah explores how early social scientists developed our modern understandings of society through their theories of religion The foundations of modern social science were built on the study of religion, the acclaimed thinker Kwame Anthony Appiah argues. Delving into the intellectual currents of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, he investigates how formative thinkers—notably Edward Burnett Tylor, Émile Durkheim, Georg Simmel, and Max Weber—grappled with the concepts of society and religion as interdependent categories. Appiah shows how their efforts to define religion, or evade the task, mark the power and limitations of social thought in ways that persist among theorists today. Religion was not an object of study but a framework through which early social scientists established sociology as a discipline. Appiah also examines recent work in both interpretive sociology and evolutionary and cognitive psychology about the mechanisms through which communities form beliefs and values—while underscoring the enduring significance of these earlier debates for contemporary social thought. Throughout, he intertwines storytelling, historical analysis, and philosophical reflection to show how our ideas about society and culture have been, and continue to be, forged in dialogue with religious questions.

    A close look at failed US policies in the Middle East, offering a fresh perspective on how best to reorient goals in the region 
     
     
      
    In this book Alexandra Stark argues that the US approach to Yemen offers insights into the failures of American foreign policy throughout the Middle East. Stark makes the case that despite often being drawn into conflicts within Yemen, the United States has not achieved its policy goals because it has narrowly focused on counterterrorism and regional geopolitical competition rather than on the well-being of Yemenis themselves. She offers recommendations designed to reorient US policy in the Middle East in pursuit of US national security interests and to support the people of these countries in their efforts to make their own communities safe, secure, and prosperous.
