Sinopsis

"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.

    Narrated by Trelani Michelle 
    Krak Teet is a Gullah Geechee phrase meaning “to speak.” This audiobook preserves the voices of Savannah’s Black elders—grandchildren of the enslaved who laid the city’s cobblestone roads and introduced its famous red rice and deviled crabs. 
    These first-hand accounts share stories of struggle—Ms. Madie’s family fleeing after her father sold a pig without permission, Mr. Roosevelt packing his mother’s stab wounds with cobwebs, Ms. Florie marching Broughton Street twice a day to protest segregation—and stories of triumph—Queen Elizabeth Butler becoming the first Black woman in Savannah to own a car, Ms. Sadie earning $500 a week running numbers, and the city desegregating months before the Civil Rights Act. 
    Krak Teet repositions Savannah’s Black history as central to the American story, not a sidebar.

    The First Book of Thessalonians is a Pauline epistle of the New Testament of the Christian Bible. The epistle is attributed to Paul the Apostle, and is addressed to the church in Thessalonica, in modern-day Greece. It is likely among the first of Paul's letters, probably written by the end of AD 52, though some scholars believe the Epistle to Galatians may have been written by AD 48.

    For over 60 million people, work in America has been a story of declining wages, insecurity, and unsafe conditions, especially amid the coronavirus epidemic. This new and troubling reality has galvanized media and policymakers, but all the while a different and little-known story of rebirth and struggle has percolated just below the surface. 
     
     
     
    On the Job is the first account of a new kind of labor movement, one that is happening locally, quietly, and among our country's most vulnerable—but essential—workers. Noted public health expert Celeste Monforton and award-winning journalist Jane M. Von Bergen crisscrossed the country, speaking with workers of all backgrounds and uncovering the stories of hundreds of new, worker-led organizations (often simply called worker centers) that have successfully achieved higher wages, safer working conditions, and on-the-job dignity for their members. 
     
     
     
    On the Job describes ordinary people finding their voice and challenging power: from housekeepers in Chicago and Houston; to poultry workers in St. Cloud, Minnesota, and Springdale, Arkansas; and construction workers across the state of Texas. An inspiring book for dark times, On the Job reveals that labor activism is actually alive and growing—and holds the key to a different future for all working people.

    The Egyptian Book of the Dead is one of the most significant and enigmatic works of ancient Egyptian literature. It is a collection of funerary texts that were intended to guide the soul of the deceased through the afterlife. The texts were not a single work but rather a compilation of spells, hymns, and prayers, which were tailored to ensure a safe passage to the afterlife and to grant protection in the realm of the dead. The Book of the Dead, also known as the "Book of Going Forth by Day," was typically inscribed on papyrus and placed in the tombs of the deceased, often alongside various amulets and offerings to aid the soul's journey. 
    The origins of the Book of the Dead can be traced back to the Pyramid Texts and Coffin Texts of the Old Kingdom, which were intended for royal burials. Over time, these texts evolved into the more accessible and expansive collection found in the New Kingdom, where it was available for individuals from all social classes. The Book of the Dead represents an essential aspect of ancient Egyptian religion, providing a vivid description of the journey the soul would undergo after death. It was believed that through the proper recitation and understanding of these texts, the deceased could navigate the trials of the underworld, known as Duat, and ultimately reach the afterlife in the presence of the gods. 
    The role of the Book of the Dead in Egyptian religion was deeply intertwined with the belief in Ma’at, the concept of divine order, truth, and justice. The texts emphasized the importance of the deceased’s heart being weighed in the Hall of Ma’at, where it would be measured against the feather of Ma’at to determine whether the soul was worthy of entering the eternal paradise. This idea of judgment after death is a central theme throughout the Book of the Dead and reflects the profound importance of moral conduct and the balance of cosmic forces in Egyptian thought.

Because of this abuse of technology among many others, most people have lost all agency over their technology, devices, and information. But technologist William Welser IV has a plan to help us regain control.Enter The Story Economy, a guide that provides fresh purchasing power in a world where opportunity feels harder and harder to grasp. Within, Welser outlines the need for an alternative economy where stories can become solutions to overwhelming new problems. His entirely new marketplace allows us to use our stories as currency, putting the data we've voluntarily given to good use—allowing us to purchase goods and services and giving us the power to see exactly where our data is going and to whom.In this exciting and sometimes scary world of AI, Big Tech is using all of its tools against us to create a society in which we're lonely, broke, and lost. We must take back our power and make the technology work for us to close the healthcare, education, and wealth divide—and in the process, foster self-awareness to help us become astute decision-makers and stay ahead of technology. The Story Economy provides the innovative blueprint to get started.
