 Russian History: An Enthralling Overview of the History of Russia and the Romanovs by Billy Wellman English | 2022 | ISBN: N/A | ASIN: B0BQ3LZ8W6 | 320 pages | EPUB | 5.12 Mb Two manuscripts in one book:History of Russia: An Enthralling Overview of Major Events in Russian HistoryThe Romanovs: An Enthralling Overview of the House of Romanov  Russian Composers Abroad: How They Left, Stayed, Returned By Elena Dubinets 2021 | 388 Pages | ISBN: 0253057779 | PDF | 9 MB As waves of composers migrated from Russia in the 20th century, they grappled with the complex struggle between their own traditions and those of their adopted homes. Russian Composers Abroad explores the self-identity of these émigrés, especially those who left from the 1970s on, and how aspects of their diasporic identities played out in their music. Elena Dubinets provides a journey through the complexities of identity formation and cultural production under globalization and migration, elucidating sociological perspectives of the post-Soviet world that have caused changes in composers' outlooks, strategies, and rankings. Russian Composers Abroad is an illuminating study of creative ideas that are often shaped by the exigencies of financing and advancement rather than just by the vision of the creators and the demands of the public.
 Kurt Engelmann, "Rural Development in Eurasia and the Middle East: Land Reform, Demographic Change, and Environmental Constraints" English | 2001 | ISBN: 0295980478, 0295996455 | PDF | pages: 320 | 20.6 mb Rural Development in Eurasia and the Middle East: Land Reform, Demographic Change, and Environmental Constraints  Routledge Handbook of Rewilding English | 2023 | ISBN: 0367564483 | 421 Pages | PDF (True) | 73 MB Rewilding offers a transformational paradigm shift in conservation thinking, and as such is increasingly of interest to academics, policymakers, and practitioners. However, as a rapidly emerging area of conservation, the term has often been defined and used in a variety of different ways (both temporally and spatially). There is, therefore, the need for a comprehensive assessment of this field, and the Routledge Handbook of Rewilding fills this lacuna. The handbook is organised into four sections to reflect key areas of rewilding theory, practice, and debate: the evolution of rewilding, theoretical and practical underpinnings, applications and impacts, and the ethics and philosophy of rewilding. Drawing on a range of international case studies the handbook addresses many of the key issues, including land acquisition and longer-term planning, transitioning from restoration (human-led, nature enabled) to rewilding (nature-led, human enabled), and the role of political and social transformational change.  Roadways for People: Rethinking Transportation Planning and Engineering by Lynn Peterson, Elizabeth Doerr English | December 6th, 2022 | ISBN: 1642832235 | 266 pages | True PDF | 3.08 MB "Seventy years of a car-only approach-not car-centric, it's car-only-is actually not just non-driver hostile, it's driver hostile. No one benefits." -Beth Osborne, Director, Transportation for America  John Y. Campbell, Martin Feldstein, "Risk Aspects of Investment-Based Social Security Reform" English | 2000 | ISBN: 0226092550 | PDF | pages: 509 | 2.0 mb Our current social security system operates on a pay-as-you-go basis; benefits are paid almost entirely out of current revenues. As the ratio of retirees to taxpayers increases, concern about the high costs of providing benefits in a pay-as-you-go system has led economists to explore other options. One involves "prefunding," in which a person's withholdings are invested in financial instruments, such as stocks and bonds, the eventual returns from which would fund his or her retirement. The risks such a system would introduce-such as the volatility in the market prices of investment assets-are the focus of this offering from the NBER. Exploring the issues involved in measuring risk and developing models to reflect the risks of various investment-based systems, economists evaluate the magnitude of the risks that both retirees and taxpayers would assume. The insights that emerge show that the risk is actually moderate relative to the improved return, as well as being balanced by the ability of an investment-based system to adapt to differences in individual preferences and conditions.  Rise of a Japanese Chinatown: Yokohama, 1894-1972 By Eric C. Han 2014 | 266 Pages | ISBN: 067449198X | PDF | 19 MB Rise of a Japanese Chinatown is the first English-language monograph on the history of a Chinese immigrant community in Japan. It focuses on the transformations of that population in the Japanese port city of Yokohama from the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895 to the normalization of Sino-Japanese ties in 1972 and beyond. Eric C. Han narrates the paradoxical story of how, during periods of war and peace, Chinese immigrants found an enduring place within a monoethnic state.This study makes a significant contribution to scholarship on the construction of Chinese and Japanese identities and on Chinese migration and settlement. Using local newspapers, Chinese and Japanese government records, memoirs, and conversations with Yokohama residents, it retells the familiar story of Chinese nation building in the context of Sino-Japanese relations. But it builds on existing works by directing attention as well to non-elite Yokohama Chinese, those who sheltered revolutionary activists and served as an audience for their nationalist messages. Han also highlights contradictions between national and local identifications of these Chinese, who self-identified as Yokohama-ites (hamakko) without claiming Japaneseness or denying their Chineseness. Their historical role in Yokohama's richly diverse cosmopolitan past can offer insight into a future, more inclusive Japan.
