Synopsis

"Corruption and Development in Asian Nations" examines the pervasive issue of corruption in Asia, ranging from local officials' demands for accommodation to multi-million dollar bribery by corrupt politicians. We explore how corruption affects various sectors, including job-related abuses, future job delivery in the private sector, and issues faced by law-abiding government employees. The book also covers topics like money laundering and ‘white elephant’ projects that benefit engineers and their political allies.
Divided into four main sections—corruption and the state, corruption and economic development, corruption and society, and corruption control—this book discusses theories, stories, and trends of corruption and anti-corruption reforms in Asia. We compare and contrast corruption in different social and institutional contexts, examining both successful and unsuccessful efforts to control it and the lessons learned from these experiences.
This comprehensive guide appeals to students and scholars of Asian, political, and social sciences, offering valuable insights into the complexities of corruption and its impact on development.

    A powerful, entertaining and, at times, eviscerating commentary on the most controversial of original superfoods. 
     
    Milk. It's in our coffee, on our cereal. We see it in processed form – yoghurt, butter, cheese, skimmed and lactose free. It's there in almond form, or made from oats or soy, and is as lauded as the 'perfect' food or lambasted as not fit for human consumption and a toxic planet killer, depending on who you trust. Which type you drink, whether you were raised on breastmilk, what you think of it, is affected by culture, biology and fashion. How you view it is driven by your gender and your politics, as well as your geography. 
     
    The miracle liquid has suffered an image problem. It has been used to keep people poor, to keep women subjugated, and to build corporate and medical careers. It's been blamed for climate change, the breakdown of human health, and an enabler of the industrial revolution. From perfect food to pariah, milk's role in life has often been debased. 
     
    Milk celebrates the majesty of this noble liquid, and delves into the pretenders to its throne, from formula to Mylk. It looks at the transformation of what a milk-producer eats into one of the most nutrient dense foods available, and how that can be transformed again into the butter, cheese and clotted cream that we know and love today. It's an exploration of the science, history and politics of what makes mammals different from every other life form on earth.

    On the Heavens is a treatise written by Aristotle in which he explores the nature and motion of the celestial bodies. In this work, Aristotle argues that the heavens are eternal, unchanging, and composed of a fifth element called aether. He distinguishes between the sublunary world, which is subject to change and decay, and the celestial realm, which is perfect and immutable. On the Heavens is a significant work in the history of astronomy and natural philosophy, and it had a profound influence on later thinkers such as Ptolemy and Galileo. Read in English, unabridged.
