Reforming India's External, Financial, and Fiscal Policies (Stanford Studies in International Econom)

Book Description

A traditionally conservative country in financial matters, India enacted a series of reforms in response to its balance of payments crisis in the early 1990s. But since then only halting progress has been made, raising concerns about India’s rising fiscal deficit, inefficiencies in its financial system, and its still relatively closed economy.

This book analyzes some of the complex issues currently facing the Indian economy. Looking at India in the international economy, the first section examines reforms of policies toward trade and capital inflows, including issues in exchange rate policy and international business prospects. The second section addresses banking and financial markets, tracking the reforms to date and establishing the need for upgraded technology. The final section compares India's fiscal performance with that of other developing countries, highlighting worrying trends, and presents concrete policy recommendations to advance Indian reforms.

This is one powerful book: it will grab you with vivid stories about individual kids, draw you in with honesty and compassion, and amaze you with alarming details about how the juvenile justice system works (or rather, doesn't work) in America. Anyone interested in the problem of crime should read Edward Humes's gripping account of how future criminals are shaped in youth, and how the system misses its chance to help them before they're lost for good. As Richard Bernstein writes in the New York Times, "There are many admirable things about Mr. Humes's book, which, despite its grim subject matter, has a narrative power that keeps you reading right to the end. One of them is that Mr. Humes is a shrewd and perceptive observer of his young subjects ... [and he] allows himself to feel sympathy for the young people whose lives and crimes he describes.... At the same time, Mr. Humes never exonerates bad children for their badness." No Matter How Loud I Shout was a finalist for the 1997 Edgar Award in Fact Crime.

A must read.......2006-12-03

A great introduction into the juvenile criminal justice system. I actually went to work for a public defenders' office because of this book.

A more recent book I'd highly reccommend is "Last Chance In Texas." Ironically, Texas has perhaps the most progressive juvenile justice system in the country. This book tells how Texas' worst juvenile offenders had their lives changed for the better.

Well-written, insightful, enlightening.......2006-06-08

Written over the course of one year in LA's juvenile court system, this book is very enlightening to the plight of our kids in detention and on the streets. It has recently been reported that less than 10% of Florida's almost $709 million juvenile justice budget is spent on prevention. I hope to do my personal part to change this in my community, by supporting intervention programs for at-risk youth.

Everyone Should Read This.......2006-04-10

This book is so SOOO depressing. And we deserve to feel that way about our Juvenile Justice system. Everyone remotely attached to criminal law or children should read this.

Indepth, insightful story by a gifted author.......2006-03-10

No Matter How Loud I Shout reads like a novel. It is an incredibly well written and compassionate view of the life of some of the country's forgotten "children". I really enjoyed it as well as "Baby ER" also by Mr. Humes.

A Great Source for Juvenile Justice Information.......2006-03-03

This book was a great source of information on the Juvenile Justice System, especially the system in Los Angeles. A compelling read, the grim realities of juvenile justice are conveyed with an unusual blend of compassion and pragmatism. A must-read for anyone interested in learning more about this important subject.

Book Description

University of Chicago Graduate Problems in Physics covers a broad range of topics, from simple mechanics to nuclear physics. The problems presented are intriguing ones, unlike many examination questions, and physical concepts are emphasized in the solutions.

Many distinguished members of the Department of Physics and the Enrico Fermi Institute at the University of Chicago have served on the candidacy examination committees and have, therefore, contributed to the preparation of problems which have been selected for inclusion in this volume. Among these are Morrell H. Cohen, Enrico Fermi, Murray Gell-Mann, Roger Hildebrand, Robert S. Mulliken, John Simpson, and Edward Teller.

A decent study aid.......2002-01-17

This book is not as useful to me as the Major American Universities Ph.D. Qualifying Questions and Solutions books, however it still provides adequate examples of problems in most of the major disciplines within the field of physics. The book is organized such that the problems are presented in the first ~half of the book, and the rest of the book is dedicated to detailed solutions. I would prefer that problems and solutions be printed together on the same page, however this setup is satisfactory.

Excellent Qual Exam Prep.......2000-04-05

This book provides excellent qualifying exam preparation. The book is a book of qual exam problems organized by subject. Solutions are provided at the end. I found it very well organized and very helpful in getting past the qualifying exams.

I first went through the "Review of Undergraduate Physics" by Hamermesh to get myself up to speed, then hit this book. It was great preparation for the real thing. I am now buying both books for my students.

Dore Illustrations.......2007-04-11

Book arrived in promised condition, and in a timely fashion. I would buy from this seller again.

Skip this comic book.......2007-01-21

This guy is pretty much in the same league as Jack Kirby. Whereas Kirby's all soft lines and images pancaked on the page, Dore looks like he's carving his cartoons into a tree. And all these scary demons and things look tired, like they've been running marathons all day. The victims kind of look like they're enjoying it, so I guess if you're into S&M, I could recommend it. Me, I prefer "Spawn" by Todd McFarlane. The Violator? Now that's a monster you can sink your eyeballs into. And I know it's like super-uber hip, but I don't know why these illustrators feel they are so special when they work exclusively in shades of black. Like my momma used to say, "A little rouge really accents the cheekbones."

An Excellent book for the Doré or Dante lover.......2006-08-01

The quality of this book - along with an amazingly affordable price tag - quickly persuaded me to pick up a copy. Its really everything you could ask for in an art book;

The pictures are all very big, but not overwhelming; Its easy to see minute detail, and the overall scope of the image. I actually blew up some of the prints in photoshop and printed them on huge poster paper for my room, while not sacrificing a drop of detail.

Also, I had to put quite a good deal of pressure onto the spine of the book in order to get a good scan from them, and im happy to say that doing so didn't even leave an annoying "bookmark" crease in the book, and the spine didn't even crease. Dover books really did produce a fine quality book, and the note on the back really is true: This book IS permanent.

If you have read or are reading the divine comedy this book is a great reference to glance at every now and again to truly suck you into Dante's epic poem, and bring you to the Heights of Heaven, The Depths of Hell, or the pain of purgatory in a way you could never have imagened.

The woodcuts done here by dore are so elaborate and vivid you could spend a good portion of a day just gazing into the faces of cursed souls writhing in hell, or the beauty of millions of angels soaring in the highest heaven. Dore illustrates every picture so full of movement and depth its the next best thing to a movie.

Absolutely Wonderful (Really 4 and a half stars).......2006-06-07

I have looked at a variety of Dante artists. Some well known and some are not. Suloni Robertson, John Flaxman, Willam Blake, Sandro Botticelli, Sandow Birk, Herb Roe. Do a google search to look at the works of some of these like Sandow Birk. There are some that are more obscure which in a way documents the Comedy, more specifically the Inferno. I'm not going to say who I don't like but Dore is the best. I am rather specific about artists. Dore makes the grade. He is good, really good and when you look at this book, you feel like you are in the terrible depths of hell. I like purgatorio too. I feel the religious prayer songs in my head as I see Beatrice's entrance. There is so much symbolism in these pictures, especially in Paradiso. Though I do disagree with the depiction of Muhammad in hell, the rest is fantastic. I mean that he looks more like he's British then Middle Eastern. I imagine him with blonde hair in the plate. The tortured look on Dante's face in the plate with Betrand de Born, (The cover pic) is extraordinary. I felt how he felt. That is why Dore is so good. I had also hoped for more detail with Ugolino because his story is fantastically horrifying.

The book is a must for any Dante fan. I look at it a lot, even if I have seen the pictures hundreds of times. I really don't think that you can get bored with this. There is always something new to look at. Some detail you looked over. Buy this book because the scans online don't give the justice that this book has. Buy it, look it over, get inspired by it. Maybe we will see your work on Amazon in the near future.

The Dore's Illustrations for Dante's Commedia are great........2006-03-15

The Illustrations from the 1st canto in the Inferno to the last of Paradiso are great because they help as a visual aid when reading the Divina Commedia. One can really see how and in which ways Dore, when he design the illustrations, followed the text very closely.

Book Description

La Divina Comedia es la expresiÃ³n luminosa de un poeta cristiano dentro del Humanismo caracterÃstico del primer Renacimiento. El viaje de Dante a travÃ©s de esta obra es un continuo descenso desde el hemisferio boreal al centro del Universo en una magistral descriptiÃ³n del mundo y del hombre.

Customer Reviews:

La Divina Comedia.......2007-03-29

Although there is no break in the sequence of page numbers from page 18 to page 19, this edition actually omits two cantos of Dante's poem: from the end of Canto V to the middle of Canto VII.

el eterno amor, el eterno viaje.......2000-07-09

la historia de un amor y de un viaje,,dicen que el poeta dante vio a beatriz cuando era nino y que jamas la toco o hablo con ella;no he tenido tiempo de averiguar si es verdad, pero lo que si se es que es la historia de un amor llevado a la adoracion extrema, la carne ya no interviene en el, tan solo el espiritu.

es como amar a dios, por eso es la mezcla entre el viaje iniciado por el poeta,por el infierno, el purgatorio y el cielo al final, con beatriz, beatriz en el cielo con diamantes y angeles mientras el poeta deja a virgilio, su acompanante en el purgatorio, despues de haber recorrido el infierno y despues de algunas escenas jocosas donde contemporaneos del poeta reciben su castigo en ciertas secciones del infierno.

es tambien un libro muy matematico, pero ese es otro aspecto que voy a dejar para que cada uno lo descubra. este libro es el tipo de libros que debe ser descubierto por cada generacion, porque cada generacion dara al poeta su sitial que se merece, como lo han venido haciendo desde el primer momento.

LUIS MENDEZ luismendez@codetel.net.do

It's a very good book, with a very interesting story. Dante had an amazing imagination and a great way to put it in words, he was a great poet. You'll enjoy it.
