Evaluative Inquiry for Systemic Change: A Guide to Shift Beyond Fixes to Lasting Value
by Emily F. Gates Pablo VidueiraIn a world where social, ecological, health, and other problems are influenced by multiple, intersecting systems, why do most interventions target single-factor solutions? Why does so much evaluation settle for incremental change, and how could it contribute instead to deeper, lasting, transformative change? Authors Emily F. Gates and Pablo Vidueira make two interconnected arguments in this book: they critique the "fixed" approach of traditional program evaluation and policy analysis, and they advance an alternative approach centered on changing systems and developing the value of efforts toward change. They demonstrate that systemic change that embeds evaluative inquiry is a theoretically supported, practical way to work toward fundamental social change with lasting impact.
Evangelising the Nation: Religion and the Formation of Naga Political Identity (Transition in Northeastern India)
by John ThomasEvangelising the Nation examines the extent to which a particular articulation of Christianity mediated the formation of national identity among the Nagas who inhabit the hill tracts between the Brahmaputra River in India and the Chindwin River in Burma (now Myanmar). This revised second edition revisits the defining attributes of this process and brings to forefront the agential role of religion in shaping modern political identities.This book, based on meticulous archival research, tracks the transmutations of Protestantism from the United States to the hill tracts of Northeast India, and its impact on the form and content of the nation that was imagined and longed for by the Nagas. It also examines how missionaries, local church leaders, and the colonial and post-colonial state mediated nationalist aspirations among the Nagas during the twentieth century.Part of Transitions in Northeastern India series, this lucidly written book will be of interest to scholars and researchers of South Asian history, religion, political science, sociology and social anthropology, and particularly those concerned with Northeast India.

Everyday People in Early Modern Kyoto: Family, Firm and Community
by Mary Louise NagataThis social history explores the lives of urban commoners in early modern Kyoto during the dramatic political shift from famine to revolution in the final decades of the Tokugawa regime, through an extensive survey of the detailed record changes from 1843 in response to these crises.The study focuses on three aspects of urban life, beginning with individual and household relations with the neighborhood communities that comprised the institutional framework of urban administration and provided financial and legal resources for residents. It then moves to the lives of ordinary people, taking a life-course approach to analyze life-cycle work: marriage, divorce, blended families, fertility, adoption, migration, mobility, and mortality. The final theme discusses households people lived in, headship succession and devolution of property; family business as a network of household shops and workshops; and the roles women played, while testing the patriarchy theories commonly used in this field and finding new explanations.Written for all levels of expertise and including many stories of everyday people, this book will appeal to undergraduate students and general readers interested in historical Kyoto.

Evidence, Crime, and Forensics in the Early Modern Mediterranean
by Lu Ann Homza Amanda L. ScottRecent historians have pinpointed the ways in which legal systems in early modern Europe were improvisational, flexible, and contingent rather than immovable, hierarchical, and gendered. Evidence, Crime, and Forensics in the Early Modern Mediterranean amplifies such findings by looking at law and its consumers in the Mediterranean, broadly imagined, between 1500 and 1750. The volume’s essays enhance our awareness of how crimes were defined, evidence was offered, and forensic awareness appeared in secular, inquisitorial, and specially commissioned courts in Spain, Italy, and the Hapsburg Balkans.This collection threads an important needle: our authors recognize formal chains of command and legal commonplaces but nonetheless emphasize how such factors could be challenged, manipulated, or ignored by illiterate and vulnerable populations. It turns out that ordinary individuals in the early modern Mediterranean did not find themselves limited in their legal options, and their degree of sophistication in court speaks volumes about networks of legal knowledge. Furthermore, in no way does the use of the courts between 1500 and 1750 imply more “rational” ways of seeking justice, since emotions were always firmly on display, even if rage and regret were being deployed for performative reasons.Evidence, Crime, and Forensics in the Early Modern Mediterranean illustrates the range of questions we can put to archival sources from the early modern Mediterranean, with plentiful insights as to how legal sources can illuminate history from below. This collection will be a welcome addition for undergraduate and graduate courses on European history, as well as a provocative resource for more general audiences.
Evidentialism at 40: New Arguments, New Angles (Routledge Studies in Epistemology)
by Matthias Steup Kevin McCain Scott StaplefordThis volume presents state-of-the-art research on issues related to evidentialism. It demonstrates the continuing relevance of evidentialist epistemology by bringing it into direct confrontation with some of its latest non-evidentialist rivals and by proposing new areas for exploration and development.Conee and Feldman’s landmark paper “Evidentialism” (1985) served as a launching point for an enormous research program in epistemology. Many epistemologists define their points of view at least partly in terms of how they relate to evidentialism. The chapters in this volume address important questions related to evidentialism, including: How should ‘evidentialism’ be defined? When does evidence suffice for belief? What does properly or appropriately responding to one’s evidence involve? Does evidentialism capture all cases of epistemically justified believing? Is there any kind of epistemic normativity that falls outside the purview of evidentialist epistemology? Are core evidentialist theses compatible with certain forms of externalism? Do classical evidentialist theses successfully preclude pragmatism? Do moral considerations ever get a say in what it is rational to believe? What (more) should evidentialists say about suspending judgment? What is the connection between evidence and logical inference? What should evidentialists say about extended memory? Does public evidence matter to epistemic justification? The range of fresh ideas in this cutting-edge volume, marking the 40th anniversary of “Evidentialism”, will appeal to scholars and graduate students working on evidentialism, evidence, the nature of justification, evidential support, and related topics in epistemology.
Exact Methods for Nonlinear PDEs (Advances in Applied Mathematics)
by Andrei D. PolyaninExact Methods for Nonlinear PDEs describes effective analytical methods for finding exact solutions to nonlinear differential equations of mathematical physics and other partial differential equations and also demonstrates the practical applications of these methods. It covers the methods of generalized separation of variables, methods of functional separation of variables, the classical method of symmetry reductions, the direct method of symmetry reductions, the method of weak symmetry reductions, and the method of differential constraints. The book presents several simple methods for finding exact solutions to nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). These methods do not require specialized knowledge and aim to minimize intermediate calculations. For the first time, it discusses the application of nonrigorous, intuitive reasoning in deriving exact solutions to nonlinear PDEs.Each section provides numerous examples, problems, and exercises to help readers develop practical skills in applying the methods. The material is illustrated with equations of mass and heat transfer, hydrodynamics, wave theory, nonlinear optics, and other nonlinear equations of mathematical physics. The key points that distinguish this book from others in the field include: • it presents many methods in a simpler and more visual format; • it describes a number of simple methods for constructing exact solutions to nonlinear PDEs and delay PDEs;• it emphasizes and details the practical use of non-rigorous reasoning to derive exact solutions for nonlinear PDEs. The book is intended for a diverse audience, including researchers, university professors, engineers, postgraduates, and students specializing in applied mathematics, theoretical physics, and engineering sciences.
