Ethnicity, Migration and Enterprise
by Prodromos PanayiotopoulosThis book examines the development of enterprise among key migrant groups in Europe and the United States. It argues that the development of 'ethnic economies' provides the material basis for alternative models of social integration, such as multiculturalism 'from below', which are critical of mainstream assimilationist thinking.
Ethnobotany and Biocultural Diversities in the Balkans
by Andrea Pieroni Cassandra L. QuaveThis volume addresses recent and ongoing ethnobotanical studies in the Balkans. The book focuses on elaborating the relevance of such studies for future initiatives in this region, both in terms of sustainable and peaceful (trans-regional, trans-cultural) rural development. A multi-disciplinary viewpoint is utilized, with an incorporation of historical, ethnographic, linguistic, biological, nutritional and medical perspectives. The book is also authored by recognized scholars, who in the last decade have extensively researched the Balkan traditional knowledge systems as they pertain to perceptions of the natural world and especially plants. Ethnobotany and Biocultural Diversities in the Balkans is the first ethnobotany book on one of the most biologically and culturally diverse regions of the world and is a valuable resource for both scholars and students interested in the field of ethnobotany.
Ethnocentrism and the English Dictionary (Routledge Studies in the History of Linguistics)
by Phil BensonThis unique work challenges the assumption that dictionaries act as objective records of our language, and instead argues that the English dictionary is a fundamentally ethnocentric work. Using theoretical, historical and empirical analyses, Phil Benson shows how English dictionaries have filtered knowledge through predominantly Anglo-American perspectives. The book includes a major case study of the most recent edition of the Oxford English Dictionary and its treatment of China.
Ethnographies of Power: A Political Anthropology of Energy (EASA Series #42)
by Tristan Loloum, Simone Abram Nathalie OrtarEnergy related infrastructures are crucial to political organization. They shape the contours of states and international bodies, as well as corporations and communities, framing their material existence and their fears and idealisations of the future. Ethnographies of Power brings together ethnographic studies of contemporary entanglements of energy and political power. Revisiting classic anthropological notions of power, it asks how changing energy related infrastructures are implicated in the consolidation, extension or subversion of contemporary political regimes and discovers what they tell us about politics today.
Ethnography And The Corporate Encounter
by Melissa CefkinBusinesses and other organizations are increasingly hiring anthropologists and other ethnographically-oriented social scientists as employees, consultants, and advisors. The nature of such work, as described in this volume, raises crucial questions about potential implications to disciplines of critical inquiry such as anthropology. In addressing these issues, the contributors explore how researchers encounter and engage sites of organizational practice in such roles as suppliers of consumer-insight for product design or marketing, or as advisors on work design or business and organizational strategies. The volume contributes to the emerging canon of corporate ethnography, appealing to practitioners who wish to advance their understanding of the practice of corporate ethnography and providing rich material to those interested in new applications of ethnographic work and the ongoing rethinking of the nature of ethnographic praxis.
Ethnoveterinary Medicine: Present and Future Concepts
by Lyndy J. McGaw Muna Ali AbdallaThe importance of a complementary approach to animal health is highlighted in this book, with core themes encompassing reviews of traditional veterinary medicine for common diseases afflicting livestock, as well as local practices in different areas of the world. The book includes chapters on ethnoveterinary medicine used to prevent and treat ticks and tick-borne diseases, infectious diseases and parasites. Ethnoveterinary practices in parts of the world which have not been comprehensively reviewed before are highlighted, including Estonia, Belarus and the Maghreb - the north-western tip of Africa. A fascinating account of African ethnoveterinary medicine and traditional husbandry practices is provided by a veteran in the field with a wealth of practical experience in the area. Neglected areas of research involve the relationship of ethnoveterinary medicine with environmental, ethical, cultural and gender aspects, and leading experts explore these issues.The book is intended to provide an informative compilation of current research and future prospects in ethnoveterinary medicine, which hopes to inform and encourage investigations in new directions. Sustainable development requires a concerted effort to combine indigenous knowledge systems with scientific research to improve animal health. This is the case not only in rural areas where access to orthodox veterinary health care may be limited, but also against the backdrop of antibiotic resistance and increased demand for alternative and complementary therapies to enhance the health of both production and companion animals. Students, academics and veterinary professionals will find this book a useful addition to knowledge on present and future aspects of ethnoveterinary research.

Etosismo: Manifiesto Para Abolir La Auto Esclavitud
by Jo M. SekimonyoLa relevancia de la economía heterodoxa está más amenazada que nunca. Ya se han disuelto varios programas económicos heterodoxos. Si las instituciones que están inmersas en esta escuela de pensamiento económico permanecen en el mismo camino y no ajustan sus objetivos de economistas productores que aspiran a convertirse en teóricos exitosos a pensadores que se convertirán en pragmáticos consumados y razonando humanos, su papel en esta academia competitiva global se volverá obsoleta.

Etsy: Crafting a turnaround to save the business and its soul
by Monte Burke Ranjay Gulati Luciana SilvestriEtsy, the online seller of handmade goods, was founded in 2005 on an almost utopian ideal-a responsible, caring company that offered individual crafters a place to sell their wares, a wholesome alternative to companies that sold mass-manufactured products. The company grew substantially-though unprofitably-under the freewheeling leadership of two early CEOs. In 2015, Etsy went public and was forced into a new arena, beholden to new stakeholders who demanded financial success and accountability. Unable to contain costs, the company teetered on the precipice of being bought out by private equity firms. In came a new leader-Josh Silverman-with a mission: to save the company financially and, in the process, save its soul. This case examines the strategic, financial, organizational, and purpose-driven turnaround Silverman and his team led at Etsy. The turnaround not only greatly bolstered Etsy's finances, but also improved its social and environmental impact and helped the organization truly live up to its ideals. This case examines the circumstances that led Etsy to require a turnaround, how the turnaround was executed, and what challenges still remain.
Euclidean Design Theory (SpringerBriefs in Statistics)
by Masanori Sawa Masatake Hirao Sanpei KageyamaThis book is the modern first treatment of experimental designs, providing a comprehensive introduction to the interrelationship between the theory of optimal designs and the theory of cubature formulas in numerical analysis. It also offers original new ideas for constructing optimal designs. The book opens with some basics on reproducing kernels, and builds up to more advanced topics, including bounds for the number of cubature formula points, equivalence theorems for statistical optimalities, and the Sobolev Theorem for the cubature formula. It concludes with a functional analytic generalization of the above classical results. Although it is intended for readers who are interested in recent advances in the construction theory of optimal experimental designs, the book is also useful for researchers seeking rich interactions between optimal experimental designs and various mathematical subjects such as spherical designs in combinatorics and cubature formulas in numerical analysis, both closely related to embeddings of classical finite-dimensional Banach spaces in functional analysis and Hilbert identities in elementary number theory. Moreover, it provides a novel communication platform for “design theorists” in a wide variety of research fields.

Speeches of one of America's pioneer socialists, ranging in subject matter from race prejudice to antiwar sentiment (the latter speech helped send him to Federal prison), these exhortations demonstrate the dynamic appeal of Debs as a platform speaker.
