The Parliament of World's Religions met in Chicago in 1993
... Read more
The Parliament of World's Religions met in Chicago in 1993 to commemorate the centennial of the World Parliament of Religions in 1893. One of the organizing themes of this conference, attended by around 10,000 delegates, was religious pluralism – the focus of this volume. Here, then, is a collection of essays from a conference that meets not every year or even every ten years but once in a century. All the of contributors to the volume are well-established scholars who are known for their expertise in world religions: Julia Ching, R. Panikkar, Harvey Cox, Arvind Sharma, Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Masao Abe, Clara Sue Kidwell, Samuel Ruiz, Paul F. Knitter, Donald W. Mitchell, Jeffrey Carlson, and Robert J. Schreiter. While many books on religious pluralism focus on the plurality of religious presences in North America, this volume employs the term religious pluralism to include the plurality of perspectives present within religious traditions as well. It thus understands the term both in an internal and external sense. In addition, it extends the discussion of religious pluralism beyond North America to other theaters of the world, to Asia and Latin America. CONTENTS 1. Living in Two Worlds: A Personal Appraisal 2. Religious Identity and Pluralism 3. "Our Religions" in a Religiously Plural World 4. Civilizing the Choctaws: Cultural Expectations and Realities 5. Religious Conflict and Christianity 6. Religion and Globality: Can Interreligious Dialogue be Globally Responsible? 7. Two Types of Unity and Religious Pluralism 8. Religion and Globality 9. A Call to Action Arvind Sharma is Professor of Comparative Religion at McGill University in Montreal. Kathleen Dugan is Professor of Religious Studies at the University of San Diego.

... Read more
The complete guide for how to design and conduct theory-testing and other case studies.Case Study Methodology in Business Research sets out structures and guidelines that assist students and researchers from a wide range of disciplines to develop their case study research in a consistent and rigorous manner. It clarifies the differences between practice-oriented and theory-oriented research and, within the latter category, between theory-testing and theory-building. It describes in detail how to design and conduct different types of case study research, providing students and researchers with everything they need for their project. The main aims are to: * present a broad spectrum of types of case study research (including practice-oriented case studies, theory-building case studies and theory-testing case studies) in one consistent methodological framework. * emphasize and clearly illustrate that the case study is the preferred research strategy for testing deterministic propositions such as those expressing a necessary condition case by case and that the survey is the preferred research strategy for testing probabilistic propositions. * stress the role of replication in all theory-testing research, irrespective of which research strategy is chosen for a specific test. * give more weight to the importance of theory-testing relative to theory-building. Case Study Methodology in Business Research is a clear, concise and comprehensive text for case study methodology. Templates are supplied for case study protocol and how to report a case study. A modular textbook primarily aimed at serving research methodology courses for final year undergraduate students and graduate students in Business Administration and Management, which is also useful as a handbook for researchers.Written by Jan Dul, Professor of Technology and Human Factors, RSM Erasmus University, Rotterdam and Tony Hak, Associate professor of Research Methodology, RSM Erasmus University, Rotterdam, in collaboration with other authors from RSM Erasmus University. * Provides students with everything needed to design and conduct a case study project * Templates are supplied clearly demonstrating case study protocol and how to report a case study * A highly accessible, concise and comprehensive text for Case Study methodology

... Read more
This volume explores the subject of religious conversion over broad expanses of time and space, considering cases from the thirteenth through the twentieth centuries and from settings across the world. Leading scholars from a variety of historical sub-fields address the theme at a moment when the utility of the concept of conversion is vigorously debated. The historical settings treated here stretch from thirteenth-century England to sixteenth-century southern India and Andean Peru, from Bohemia to China during the age of the Reformations, from the fifteenth-century Low Countries to seventeenth-century New France and from the nineteenth-century Minnesota borderlands to late colonial Zimbabwe and modern India. The book's broad mixture of examples and approaches will both encourage a deepening of specialist knowledge about particular places and times, and spark new thinking about religious change, cultural appropriations, and interactive emergence across discipline and fields. This book is one of two collections of essays on religious conversion drawn from the activities of the Shelby Cullum Davis Center for Historical Studies at Princeton University between 1999 and 2001. The other volume, Conversion in Late Antiquity and the Early Middle Ages, is also published by the University of Rochester Press.

... Read more
Case study research has a long history within the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, dating back to the early 1920’s. At first it was a useful way for researchers to make valid inferences from events outside the laboratory in ways consistent with the rigorous practices of investigation inside the lab. Over time, case study approaches garnered interest in multiple disciplines as scholars studied phenomena in context. Despite widespread use, case study research has received little attention among the literature on research strategies.The Encyclopedia of Case Study Research provides a compendium on the important methodological issues in conducting case study research and explores both the strengths and weaknesses of different paradigmatic approaches. These two volumes focus on the distinctive characteristics of case study research and its place within and alongside other research methodologies.Key FeaturesPresents a definition of case study research that can be used in different fields of studyDescribes case study as a research strategy rather than as a single tool for decision making and inquiryGuides rather than dictates, readers’ understanding and applications of case study researchIncludes a critical summary in each entry, which raises additional matters for reflectionMakes case study relevant to researchers at various stages of their careers, across philosophic divides, and throughout diverse disciplinesKey ThemesAcademic DisciplinesCase Study Research DesignConceptual IssuesData AnalysisData CollectionMethodological ApproachesTheoretical TraditionsTheory Development and ContributionsFrom Case Study ResearchTypes of Case Study Research

... Read more
Transcending ethnic, linguistic, and religious boundaries, early empires shaped thousands of years of world history. Yet despite the global prominence of empire, individual cases are often studied in isolation. This series seeks to change the terms of the debate by promoting cross-cultural, comparative, and transdisciplinary perspectives on imperial state formation prior to the European colonial expansion.Two thousand years ago, up to one-half of the human species was contained within two political systems, the Roman empire in western Eurasia (centered on the Mediterranean Sea) and the Han empire in eastern Eurasia (centered on the great North China Plain). Both empires were broadly comparable in terms of size and population, and even largely coextensive in chronological terms (221 BCE to 220 CE for the Qin/Han empire, c. 200 BCE to 395 CE for the unified Roman empire). At the most basic level of resolution, the circumstances of their creation are not very different. In the East, the Shang and Western Zhou periods created a shared cultural framework for the Warring States, with the gradual consolidation of numerous small polities into a handful of large kingdoms which were finally united by the westernmost marcher state of Qin. In the Mediterranean, we can observe comparable political fragmentation and gradual expansion of a unifying civilization, Greek in this case, followed by the gradual formation of a handful of major warring states (the Hellenistic kingdoms in the east, Rome-Italy, Syracuse and Carthage in the west), and likewise eventual unification by the westernmost marcher state, the Roman-led Italian confederation. Subsequent destabilization occurred again in strikingly similar ways: both empires came to be divided into two halves, one that contained the original core but was more exposed to the main barbarian periphery (the west in the Roman case, the north in China), and a traditionalist half in the east (Rome) and south (China).These processes of initial convergence and subsequent divergence in Eurasian state formation have never been the object of systematic comparative analysis. This volume, which brings together experts in the history of the ancient Mediterranean and early China, makes a first step in this direction, by presenting a series of comparative case studies on clearly defined aspects of state formation in early eastern and western Eurasia, focusing on the process of initial developmental convergence. It includes a general introduction that makes the case for a comparative approach; a broad sketch of the character of state formation in western and eastern Eurasia during the final millennium of antiquity; and six thematically connected case studies of particularly salient aspects of this process.

In the past 30 years or so interest in meditation has been growing. Though contents and nature of meditation were widely divergent, practices called 'meditation' gained popularity in general society, and various groups and organizations became active. Since approximately two decades academic societies have begun to show interest in meditation as a subject of study, too. It is quite interesting to find this same tendency all over the world, but the contents and purpose of practices of meditation in the Orient and the Occident seem to differ in some aspects by nature. Therefore, in this book, the authors will examine the current state of interest in meditation in the Orient and the Occident seperately. Most of the reports in this book have been presented at the Makuhari Symposium 'Comparative and Psychological Study on Meditation', held from August 30, to September 1992, in Makuhari, Japan.

... Read more
In this sociohistorical case study, Dominika Jegen expands on this important body of work by utilizing international comparisons of regulatory data never before analyzed concurrently. She posits that these cases deserve to be investigated because their identification and contents reveal the nature of what users are not told, while also "opening up" new choices to be made about what users should be able to know. She also investigates why federal regulatory agencies on both sides of the border, although in possession of arguably the same evidence on pharmaceutical safety and adverse reactions for each pharmaceutical in question, made completely different decisions regarding the withdrawal of certain pharmaceuticals off the market. For example, pemoline's unfavourable risk-to-benefit ratio led to its withdrawal in Canada in 1999, while the Food and Drug Administration instead opted for two separate changes to the pemoline label before completely withdrawing the pharmaceutical in 2005. Although the approval of tolcapone came at relatively similar times in both countries, interestingly, withdrawal decisions once again differed owing to increasing concerns over reports of severe hepatotoxicity: Canada chose to withdraw the pharmaceutical within one year, while it is still available in the United States 10 years later. This study, although focused specifically on pemoline and tolcapone, poses new crucial questions about the intersection of science, treatment, and capital. On a deeper level of analysis, the cases of pemoline and tolcapone expose how the construction and dissemination of "facts" can be undertaken by corporations, particularly regarding scientific evidence submitted to reviewing bodies and for product monographs. Clearly, current safeguards towards unbiased medical information are lacking. Hence, funding may supply scientific support for a pharmaceutical which can then appease regulators and allow sales. The author raises the point that unfortunately this does not bode well for our society, and increasingly for other societies worldwide. This is an important book for those in public health and medical care.

... Read more
Since the end of World War II, social science research has become increasingly quantitative in nature. A Case for the Case Study provides a rationale for an alternative to quantitative reserach: the close investigation of single instances of social phenomena.The first section of the book contains an overview of the central methodological issues involved in the use of the case study method. Then, well-known scholars describe how they undertook case study research in order to undersand changes in church involvement, city life, gender roles, white-collar crimes, family structure, homelessness, and other types of social experience. Each contributor contronts several key questions: What does the case study tell us that other approaches cannot? To what extent can one generalize from the study of a single case or of a highly limited set of cases? Does case study work provide the basis for postulating broad principles of social structure and behavior? The answers vary, but the consensus is that the opportunity to examine certain kinds of social phenomena in depth enables social scientists to advance greatly our empirical understanding of social life.The contributors are Leon Anderson, Howard M. Bahr, Theodore Caplow, Joe R. Feagin, Gilbert Geis, Gerald Handel, Anthonly M. Orum, Andree F. Sjoberg, Gideon Sjoberg, David A. Snow, Ted R. Vaughan, R. Stephen Warner, Christine L. Williams, and Norma Williams.

... Read more
Comparison has long been the backbone of the discipline of anthropology. But recent developments in anthropology, including critical self-reflection and new case studies sited in a globalized world, have pushed comparative work aside. For the most part, comparison as theory and method has been a casualty of the critique of 'grand theory' and of a growing mistrust of objectivist, hard-science methodology in the social sciences.Today it is time for anthropology to resume its central task of exploring humankind through comparison, using its newfound critical self-awareness under changing global conditions. In Anthropology By Comparision, an international group of prominent anthropologists re-visits, re-theorizes and re-invigorates comparison as a legitimate and fruitful enterprise. The authors explore the value of anthropological comparison and encourage an international dialogue about comparative research. While rejecting older, universalist comparative methods, these scholars take a fresh look at various subaltern and neglected approaches to comparison from their own national traditions. They then present new approaches that are especially relevant to the globalized world of the twenty-first century.Every student and practitioner of anthropology and the social sciences will find this thought-provoking volume essential reading. Anthropology, by Comparison is a call to creative reflection on the past and productive action in the present, a challenge to anthropologists to revitalize their unique contribution to human understanding. Anthropology, by Comparison is an indispensable overview of anthropology's roots - and its future - with regard to the comparative study of humankind.

... Read more
TCM Study Guide Series: Herbology, volume 2 is the fourth and most ambitious book in the TCM Study Guide Series. Its companion, volume 1, provides 3,500 multiple-choice questions on the herbs and herbal formulas used in Traditional Chinese Medicine. Volume 2 tests the knowledge of TCM students and practitioners in a different way through the practical methodology of clinical cases. The scope of these two volumes reflects Shi Cun Wu's continuing dedication to the study and clinical practice of TCM herbology throughout his long career in China and the United States. The more than two hundred and fifty cases covered in Volume II are drawn from Wu's practice, from that of his colleagues in China, as well as from Chinese college texts and licensing exams. The cases are organized into twelve sections, the first eleven of which represent different types of disorders (Disorders Caused by External Evils, Disorders of the Lung, etc.). Each case describes a clinical situation. The questions that follow it guide one through the process of determining the diagnosis, treatment approach, and herbal prescription. The majority of the cases utilize multiple-choice questions. The last section contains nineteen cases with open-ended questions, which challenge the reader to develop his or her own answers without the assistance of alternate choices. The comprehensive exam that follows the cases provides a final chance to test the full breadth of one's knowledge of TCM herbs, formulas, and treatment. Special attention has been devoted to the section of resource material in Volume 2. It includes resources to help research and answer questions in both volumes. These resources can also be useful when studying in preparation for examinations. They are not intended as primary sources, but as concisely formatted supplements to the more detailed and thorough texts on TCM herbology created by Dan Bensky, John and Tina Chen, Peter Holmes, Qiao Yi, and others.

Feminist community research is a collaborative methodology that holds the promise of building a more just society. But in the absence of critical analysis and responsible use of power, the approach can lead to naive or harmful practices. This interdisciplinary volume acknowledges the challenges that researchers can encounter, and discusses strategies that have been employed to overcome them. By sharing collective wisdom gained from research among diverse groups -- from immigrant and Aboriginal women in Vancouver to poverty-reduction practitioners in Vietnam -- this book will help researchers and government agencies build better bridges between research institutions and communities.

... Read more
The general aim of this handbook is to present a practical approach to the analysis of acid-base problems in the clinical setting with the goal of enabling the clinician to create an acid-base differential diagnosis. The content of the handbook was developed from courses given to medical students, residents, and renal fellows at UCLA. The handbook begins with a review of the concepts required to generate an acid-base differential diagnosis. In the initial chapter, the modified Henderson equation is emphasized. This equation will help the clinician acquire an intuitive understanding of the physiologic interrelationships underlying the pathogenesis of acid-base disorders. The initial chapter also discusses each of the four cardinal acid-base disorders in depth. The goal of this chapter is to introduce the clinician to the essential concepts, which are required to understand acid-base problems. The focus of subsequent chapters is on the approach to interpreting simple and mixed acid-base disorders. Each case is analyzed thoroughly followed by a series of teaching points. Initially, simple acid-base diagnoses are discussed in detail. Mixed acid-base disorders are then thoroughly analyzed. A series of short cases is then presented to help consolidate the concepts learned in the previous chapters. In the final chapter, the interested reader will confront many of the complexities and limitations of current acid-base diagnosis.

Aiming toward the integration of science, art, and design, this vast collection takes a multidisciplinary approach to understanding and molding architectural methodology. Where science addresses how things are and design explores the possibilities available, both arenas challenge the physical world, while art transforms reality by giving it new meaning, raising the physical to the metaphysical. The various contributions work to unite these seemingly disparate approaches, where several disciplines are not only interacting but reintegrated into a greater synthetic system.

... Read more
We seem to be living at a time when insurance is strained to the breaking point. From hurricanes and earthquakes to terrorist attacks and threats of nuclear devastation, enormous risks to life and property; and accompanying liabilities; proliferate on an unprecedented scale. Insurer insolvency is not yet common, but it is not unusual either. And at the root of such failures often lies the compound failure of uncollectable reinsurance. This important book proposes that a significant part of the emerging insurance crisis results from inadequate regulation of reinsurance. In a detailed and cogent analysis of what an effective regulatory regime for reinsurance must entail, the author examines such factors as the following: direct supervision of reinsurers versus supervision of reinsurance policies models from developed countries (US, UK, EU) and international organisations (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, International Association of Insurance Supervisors) the importance of taking legal and economic differences into account while applying models the problem of local protectionism, especially in developing countries the dismantling of trade barriers in the reinsurance industry global harmonization of reinsurance regulation the role of reinsurance intermediaries finite risk reinsurance insurance-linked securities. The author's concluding chapter presents an essential legal infrastructure that allows for efficiency, security, and individual market characteristics. Professor Wang then applies this framework to the Taiwanese insurance market, demonstrating convincingly how his proposed regime can solve specific problems while respecting Taiwan's distinct market environment. As a meticulously considered appraisal of, and solution to, a world problem that is growing quickly and uncontrollably, Reinsurance Regulation will be of immense value to lawyers, professors, academics, and officials who deal with any facet of economic law.
