Book Description
The present yearbook (which is the fourth in the series) is subtitled Trends & Cycles. It is devoted to cyclical and trend dynamics in society and nature; special attention is paid to economic and demographic aspects, in particular to the mathematical modeling of the Malthusian and post-Malthusian traps' dynamics. An increasingly important role is played by new directions in historical research that study long-term dynamic processes and quantitative changes. This kind of history can hardly develop without the application of mathematical methods. There is a tendency to study history as a system of various processes, within which one can detect waves and cycles of different lengths – from a few years to several centuries, or even millennia. The contributions to this yearbook present a qualitative and quantitative analysis of global historical, political, economic and demographic processes, as well as their mathematical models. This issue of the yearbook consists of three main sections: (I) Long-Term Trends in Nature and Society; (II) Cyclical Processes in Pre-industrial Societies; (III) Contemporary History and Processes. We hope that this issue of the yearbook will be interesting and useful both for historians and mathematicians, as well as for all those dealing with various social and natural sciences.

Readicide
Author: Kelly Gallagher
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1003843549
Category : Education
Languages : en
Pages : 128
Book Description
Read-i-cide: The systematic killing of the love of reading, often exacerbated by the inane, mind-numbing practices found in schools. Reading is dying in our schools. Educators are familiar with many of the factors that have contributed to the decline, poverty, second-language issues, and the ever-expanding choices of electronic entertainment. In this provocative book Readicide: How Schools are Killing Reading and What You Can Do About It , author and teacher Kelly Gallagher suggests it is time to recognize a new and significant contributor to the death of reading: our schools. Readicide , Gallagher argues that American schools are actively (though unwittingly) furthering the decline of reading. Specifically, he contends that the standard instructional practices used in most schools are killing reading by:Valuing standardized testing over the development of lifelong readersMandating breadth over depth in instructionRequiring students to read difficult texts without proper instructional support and insisting students focus on academic textsIgnoring the importance of developing recreational readingLosing sight of authentic instruction in the looming shadow of political pressuresReadicide provides teachers, literacy coaches, and administrators with specific steps to reverse the downward spiral in reading-;steps that will help prevent the loss of another generation of readers.

Fertility and Public Policy
Author: Noriyuki Takayama
Publisher: MIT Press
ISBN: 0262295121
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 296
Book Description
Experts discuss the appropriateness and effectiveness using public policy to influence fertility decisions. In 2050, world population growth is predicted to come almost to a halt. Shortly thereafter it may well start to shrink. A major reason behind this shift is the fertility decline that has taken place in many developed countries. In this book, experts discuss the appropriateness and effectiveness of using public policy to influence fertility decisions. Contributors discuss the general feasibility of public interventions in the area of fertility, analyze fertility patterns and policy design in such countries as Japan, South Korea, China, Sweden, and France, and offer theoretical analyses of parental fertility choices that provide an overview of a broad array of child-related policy instruments in a number of OECD and EU countries. The chapters show that it is difficult to gauge the effectiveness of such policy interventions as child-care subsidies, support for women's labor-force participation, and tax incentives. Data are often incomplete, causal relations unproved, and the role of social norms and culture difficult to account for. Investigating reasons for the decline in fertility more closely will require further study. This volume offers the latest work on this increasingly important subject.

Publisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 146281770X
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 304
Book Description
For a developing country like China, there is a need for economic studies that will aid in its economic development and progress. In relation to this, author Dr. Fengbo Zhang presents a comprehensive study on the Analysis of Chinese Macroeconomy. In Analysis of Chinese Macroeconomy, the author uses the econometrics method, which so far has not been attempted by anyone, to depict definitively the development process and the existing state of the Chinese economy. Highly recommended for Chinese research scholars, businessmen and readers interested in China, this book provides the suitable materials for understanding modern China and the future of economic reform. Recently, Western economics is being introduced positively in Chinese economic policymaking decisions. This is the first genuine book, which quantitatively analyzes Chinese economy by an energetic and innovative Chinese scholar. The achievements of the time-series analysis and existing State analysis in this book are bound to give us the valuable guideline to predict the future of Chinese economy. The Pinnacle of Chinese Economic analysis, the First Genuine Research Book An energetic and innovative Chinese scholar uses the econometrics method, so far not attempted by anyone, to depict definitively the development process and the existing state of the Chinese economy and to provide the suitable materials for understanding modern China and the future of economic reform.
