Obama and China's Rise: An Insider's Account of America's Asia Strategy By Jeffrey A. Bader 2012 | 188 Pages | ISBN: 0815722427 | PDF | 7 MB In 2005 Jeffrey Bader, a veteran U.S. diplomat and Asia policy analyst, was asked to meet and discuss international trade policy with the junior U.S. senator from Illinois. Bader came away greatly struck and impressed by Barack Obama and eventually came to co-chair the presidential candidate s advisory team on Asia policy. When Obama assumed the presidency, Bader became the senior director for East Asian affairs with the National Security Council. In Obama and China s Rise, Bader discusses what he did, what he saw, and what it meant for Obama s policy toward the all-important East Asia region first in the presidential campaign, and then in his administration. The result is a fascinating backstage view of the formulation and execution of American foreign policy as well as a candid evaluation of the same, including recommendations for future policy. Obama s intent was to extend U.S. influence and presence in East Asia, which he felt had been neglected because of American preoccupation with the war on terror, the Middle East, and especially Iraq. China s rise, particularly its military buildup, was causing sleepless nights for its neighbors. Bader describes the Obama administration s efforts to develop stable relations with China while building stronger relationships with troubled allies and partners in the face of Beijing s rising assertiveness. Bader combines insightful and authoritative foreign policy analysis with a revealing and humanizing personal narrative of that effort.

Anna Graham, "Noodlehead Caravan Tote and Pouch" English | 2020 | ASIN: N/A | 34 pages | True PDF | 3.5 MB Caravan Tote & Pouch Pattern  Noether Symmetries in Theories of Gravity: With Applications to Astrophysics and Cosmology English | 2023 | ISBN: 1009208748 | 452 Pages | PDF | 7.2 MB This volume summarizes the many alternatives and extensions to Einstein's General Theory of Relativity, and shows how symmetry principles can be applied to identify physically viable models. The first part of the book establishes the foundations of classical field theory, providing an introduction to symmetry groups and the Noether theorems. A quick overview of general relativity is provided, including discussion of its successes and shortcomings, then several theories of gravity are presented and their main features are summarized. In the second part, the 'Noether Symmetry Approach' is applied to theories of gravity to identify those which contain symmetries. In the third part of the book these selected models are tested through comparison with the latest experiments and observations. This constrains the free parameters in the selected models to fit the current data, demonstrating a useful approach that will allow researchers to construct and constrain modified gravity models for further applications.  Bernie Lafreniere, "Nifty E-Z Guide to D-STAR Operation" English | 2009 | ISBN: 1442141980 | PDF | pages: 144 | 11.7 mb Using simple and clear-cut explanations, the author, Bernie, N6FN explains how D-STAR repeater systems are configured and intercommunicate over the Internet. This book will teach you how to program your radio to take advantage of call routing and linking within your local repeater system and through Internet gateways to anywhere in the world. DV short text messaging via the radio and low-speed text data transmissions using a PC and the d*Chat and D-RATS digital data communications programs is explained. Using the DV Dongle for accessing the worldwide D-STAR gateway system without having to use a radio is made clear. Web based resources for calculating call sign routing parameters and finding active D-STAR repeaters and recently heard stations are covered in detail. By far, this is the book to have for active D-STAR operators and those interested in trying the technology. Experience the thrill of worldwide digital communications!
 New Technology and the Workers′ Response: Microelectronics, Labour and Society By Amiya Kumar Bagchi (editor) 1995 | 368 Pages | ISBN: 0803991983 | PDF | 119 MB The rapid development and widespread use of new technologies, particularly those based on microelectronics, have brought about radical changes in people′s lives the world over. New technologies have also altered production conditions, organizational structures, organizational behavior, and employment trends. Although there are numerous studies on the impact these new technologies have had in developed nations, the problems that countries such as India and Brazil have faced in the same context have received little attention. The contributors to this volume analyze the problems faced by both management and trade unions in tackling new technologies and harnessing them in the cause of promoting growth and social welfare. They also conceptualize issues of distribution and the shares of labor and capital in making the transition from old-fashioned to new. This volume relates macroeconomic problems to the use of new technologies, analyzes the strategic behavior of different economic agents in the transition phase, and compares the experiences of East Asian economies (Korea and Taiwan) with those of developing countries such as Brazil and India and advanced economies such as Sweden. This volume will attract a wide readership among those interested in economics, management studies, labor relations, sociology and the trade union movement. "The essays in this volume offer vastly differing perspectives on technology and society. . . . A welcome addition and in the absence of many works which critically examine the role of microelectronics technology in developing nations this book will serve as a useful work, particularly for labor unions and scholars working on issues related to microelectronics and society." --Science, Technology, and Society "This volume makes an important contribution to understanding the dynamics of technological change in a variety of specific end-use conditions. . . . The volume is a valuable addition to the limited literature on the effects of, and responses to, new technology in developing countries. It should make interesting reading not only for managers and policy-makers, but also for students of business and social sciences and trade union leaders in developing countries." --International Labour Review "The success of this book lies in raising some important questions and in trying to explain how in some instances around the world industrial establishments have reacted to the increasing availability of microelectronics interventions. In that, this book presents some very well-articulated arguments based mostly on macro-economic data which should be useful to a students of technological change. . . . Raise[s] contemporary issues and provide[s] new insights." --Journal of Entrepreneurship "Bagchi′s and Samaddar′s work is important for several reasons. Despite the fact that neither book is explicitly concerned with the social shaping of technological change in India, and both are, rather, concerned with the social and economic impacts of new technologies, they provide critical insights into the behaviour of Indian industrial management and into the process of effects of technological change there. This sort of material tends to have very poor visibility in the West, and this makes their contribution all the more valuable for our understanding of they dynamics of capitalism at a global level in this era of information technology. The work of Bagchi and his colleagues in particular underlines, in the Indian context, the claims of economists of technology who have examined the reasons for success and failure of technological change in other countries in the Asian economic bloc. Furthermore, Samaddar′s insistence on the importance of linking labour market to labour process dynamics in fact makes a valuable contribution to the social shaping of technology approach." --Work, Employment & Society "The high academic standard of the book will be well received by the community of researchers in the field as well as planning and policy makers of developing countries." |
