The Book of Payments - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Book of Payments - - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book examines the nature of retail financial transaction infrastructures. Contributions assume a long-term outlook in their exploration of the key financial processes and systems that support a global transition to a cashless economy. The volume offers both modern and historic accounts that demonstrate the constantly changing role of payment instruments. It brings together different theoretical approaches to the study, re-examining and forecasting changes in retail payment systems. Chapters explore a global transition to a cashless society and contemplate future alternatives to cash, cheques and plastic, featuring the perspectives of academics from different disciplines in conversation and industry participants from six continents. Readers are invited to discover the innovation in payment systems and how it co-evolves with changes in society and organisations through personal, corporate and governmental processes.

Media, Sustainability and Everyday Life - Geoffrey Craig - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Media, Sustainability and Everyday Life - Geoffrey Craig - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book analyses representations of sustainable everyday life across advertising, eco-reality television, newspapers, magazines and social media. It foregrounds the discursive and networked basis of sustainability and demonstrates how such media representations connect the home and local community to broader political, social and economic contexts. The book shows how green lifestyle media negotiate issues of sustainability in varying ways, reproducing the logic of existing consumer society while also sometimes providing projections of a more environmentally friendly existence. In this way, the book argues that everyday lifestyles are not an irredeemable problem for environmentalism but an important site of environmental politics.

States, Intergovernmental Relations, and Market Development - Jinhua Cheng - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

States, Intergovernmental Relations, and Market Development - Jinhua Cheng - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This book is a theoretical and empirical analysis of institutional foundation of long-term economic growth from the perspective of state-market and central-local relations. The book argues that, in order to safeguard sustainable market development, it is necessary to centralize certain functions of the state to overcome local predatory governmental rulings, and to decentralize others to increase local governmental market incentives, simultaneously. This institutional approach is conceptualized as "Dual Intergovernmental Transformation for Market Development" (DITMD). This book develops the DITMD model through an in-depth empirical comparison on contemporary China and the 19th-century United States.

Ecocriticism and Shakespeare - Simon C. Estok - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Ecocriticism and Shakespeare - Simon C. Estok - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

This award-winning book offers the term "ecophobia" as a way of understanding and organizing representations of contempt for the natural world. Estok argues that this vocabulary is both necessary to the developing area of ecocritical studies and for our understandings of the representations of "Nature" in Shakespeare. Engaging close readings with theoretical sophistication makes this book a path-breaking contribution to both Shakespearean scholarship and the burgeoning field of ecocriticism.

Designing Randomised Trials in Health, Education and the Social Sciences - Professor David J. Torgerson - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Designing Randomised Trials in Health, Education and the Social Sciences - Professor David J. Torgerson - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

Policy makers are increasingly demanding evidence from randomized trials. The book focuses on the design of rigorous trials rather than their statistical underpinnings or analyses. Consequently, statistical theory is absent and statistical methods are minimal. Few other texts go into such detailed description about randomization procedures and different trial designs within the same volume. The book has chapters on: pragmatic designs; placebo designs; preference approaches; unequal allocation; economics; analytical approaches; randomization methods.

The Jacobite Movement in Scotland and in Exile, 1746-1759 - D. Zimmermann - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The Jacobite Movement in Scotland and in Exile, 1746-1759 - D. Zimmermann - Bog - Palgrave Macmillan - Plusbog.dk

The argument presented in this book arose from an extension to the question whether the suppression of the Jacobite Rising of 1745-46, as represented by a long-standing historiographical consensus, spelled the end of Jacobite hopes, and British fears, of another restoration attempt. The principal conclusion of this book is that the Jacobite Movement persisted as a viable threat to the British state, and was perceived as such by its opponents to 1759.
