A groundbreaking history of nuclear weapons across the world, from their invention to the end of the Cold War &nbsp; How should we deal with nuclear weapons? The discovery of nuclear fission fundamentally changed the world order. Its power was harnessed, nuclear bombs invented, and the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were destroyed. In recurring international crises and calls for arms control, the threat of nuclear war has hung over humanity ever since. &nbsp; David Holloway traces how these weapons shaped the last century, from the US-Soviet arms race to the rivalry between India and Pakistan. Deterrence and intimidation, alliances and war plans, international treaties and organizations have all played their role. At the centre were political leaders—among them Truman, Kennedy, and Reagan, as well as Stalin, Khrushchev, and Gorbachev—who all had their fingers on the nuclear button. &nbsp; This is a global history of these fearsome weapons and our attempts to deal with the consequences of their existence—a story at once fascinating and repellent, of a very dangerous period in our history.

Foundations of Finance

This volume demystifies the mechanics of financial shenanigans or earnings management (EM) in the interests of investors and other stakeholders who are affected by corporate fiascos. It brings extensive real-world experience of forensic accounting and analytics capabilities to examine "financial hazards," how they inevitably result in financial and corporate blowups, and what lessons we can draw from them, such as those of Enron, WorldCom, Satyam Computers, Kingfisher Airlines, Lehman Brothers, and of late IL&amp;FS, Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), and many more. The book decodes:<ul> <li>The nuances and intricacies of forensic accounting;</li> <li>Revenue, expense, and assets manipulation;</li> <li>Identification of "red flags" and quantitative analysis;</li> <li>Fraud prevention mechanics.</li> </ul>Richly illustrated with tables, figures, and learning tools, this volume will be indispensable for individuals, business managers, and management students pursuing courses related to forensic accounting, financial shenanigans, and financial ethics. It will also be an important resource for executive and management development programmes (EDPs &amp; MDPs), as well as professionals, corporates, entrepreneurs, government officials, academicians, and researchers looking for a quick refresher on financial manipulations.

Palgrave's Critical Policing Studies

<div>“The book’s focus on institutional harm is a refreshing approach, overcoming the customary focus on individual responsibility to foreground how the historic processes of racialized policing continue to undermine the everyday lives of Black British peoples including their ability to integrate. This study crosses disciplinary boundaries giving it wide appeal beyond academia, to include activists, policymakers, teachers, and anyone with an interest in understanding what it means to be criminalized and surveilled.”</div>
<div>-Dr Esmorie J. Miller, Lancaster University, School of Sciences, UK</div>
This book explores the historical and contemporary policing of Black communities in Britain, revealing how much has — and hasn’t — changed. Drawing on 58 interviews with young people, elders, and community workers in a heavily policed North London neighbourhood, it offers a powerful, intergenerational account of racialised policing and its everyday consequences. Through an intersectional lens, it examines how race, gender, class, and place overlap to shape Black Britons’ encounters with police and their sense of belonging. Through the voices of those most affected, the book traces how these experiences have produced enduring cultural narratives of mistrust, resistance, and exclusion. Exposing how policing continues to racialise and criminalise certain communities designated suspect status, it connects these practices to the legacies of empire and the politics of othering. It concludes by considering what these histories mean for the present and future of police-community relations and offers practical recommendations for building trust, accountability, and justice.
Bisi Akintoye is Lecturer at University of Roehampton, UK, and a solicitor whose research focuses on the intersection between race, drugs, policing, and youth experiences.

First published in 1968, States' Finances in India not only provides the first descriptive account of the finances of the states since Indian Independence, but also offers an analysis which successfully puts into perspective national, state and local finance on the one hand and problems of plan financing, taxation, borrowing and public expenditure on the other. The author supports his argument by a series of statistical tables on which he comments concisely, bringing out clearly their main features and implications. His analysis benefits from his practical experience of politics and administration.He deals with union-state relations, state-local relations and problems of plan financing and implementation. Most of the statistical tables are aggregated from successive annual reports and will make this a valuable work of reference for economists, administrators and politicians.

Initiative for Policy Dialogue at Columbia: Challenges in Development and Globalization

One of the most pressing issues in development today is the employment challenge in low- and middle-income countries. As more young people enter the labor force--and as structural transformation unfolds amid deindustrialization, technological disruption, and global competition--the question of how to create sufficient decent jobs has become central to the economic future of the Global South. Although this is a shared challenge across developing regions, it is particularly acute in Africa, where rapid demographic change and urbanization are colliding with limited industrial expansion. Bringing together leading international scholars, The Future of Work in Developing Countries examines the employment problem from multiple perspectives. Early chapters develop conceptual frameworks around corporations and the global hierarchy of production. Subsequent contributions investigate the dynamics of structural transformation, the role of firms in linking production and labor to surplus, and the design of industrial and technology policies. Later chapters turn to detailed case studies--especially from Africa--that illustrate the possibilities and limits of different growth paths, and comparative insights from Asia and Latin America provide further perspective. By combining rigorous theoretical analysis with grounded empirical research, this book demonstrates that employment creation is not an automatic byproduct of growth but a political and institutional project. It offers fresh insights for scholars of development, political economy, and economic history, as well as for policy makers seeking strategies to promote inclusive transformation in Africa and beyond.

Developments in Health Economics and Public Policy

As the need for long-term care expands, evaluating the roles of its primary providers—the state, the market, and the family—becomes increasingly essential. This book first examines recent research on the contributions of families and the marketplace to long-term care. Noting the decreasing involvement of families and the limitations of market-based solutions, it then shifts focus to studies that explore public policy development aimed at supporting elderly individuals without family assistance or adequate resources. These policies aim to create a comprehensive support system by utilizing both market mechanisms and family resources to meet the needs of the dependent elderly.The book also provides a comparative analysis of how various countries, especially in Europe and North America, address disability and dependence in their long-term care systems, offering insights into diverse strategies and solutions. This cross-country perspective identifies effective practices and highlights areas requiring further development in social insurance and support frameworks. Through this exploration, the book seeks to deepen understanding of the influence of social norms and family solidarity on long-term care provision, emphasizing how these elements can be integrated into more resilient public policy structures.

The Economics of Long-term Care

Contributions to Economics

The new macroeconomics is about distributions and flows, rather than points and intersections. Market frictions imply that the search for trading partners is time consuming and costly. Consequently, market participants flow between economic states, and trades occur at dispersed prices. This generates motives for continued search for better market opportunities, and for bargaining between potential trading partners. This volume takes the empirical analysis of markets with frictions to a new level by using unique merged registers from Denmark on firm accounting data, individual employee data, and international trade data to estimate empirically the relevant flow rates, dispersions, and relations among key variables of interest, including productivity, firm size, wages, exports, growth, and unemployment. The results serve to inform researchers and policy makers about the functioning of markets, justify the interpretation of dispersion and flows as equilibrium outcomes, and provide an understanding of cycles, adjustment, and potentials for public policy.

Routledge Studies in the History of Marketing

This book addresses the need to understand marketing practices in the context of the rich and varied history of India. Such an understanding will not only enrich marketing as a discipline, but also provide marketers and academics with valuable insights into the cultures and behaviors of Indian consumers. By analysing historical writings on business in India over 2000 years, and providing a coherent narrative of the marketing practices during these periods, it critically engages with the larger socio-economic structures which influenced, and were influenced by these practices. All scholars of marketing history will find this a fascinating and unique assessment of a highly significant market.

In Agrarian Evolution in a Multiform Structure Society (first published in English in 1981) the author analyses the roots of the Indian society and suggests future directions. He argues that India, like many Asian countries, exhibits tendencies peculiar to an economy evolving on the basis of dependent capitalist development.

Escape from the Child Snatchers

'Magnificent' KAMILA SHAMSIE 'Majestic yet profoundly tender' MEGHA MAJUMDAR A breathtaking novel about a woman forging a life for herself on the railways, Railsong is the story of an individual coming of age amid the social and political upheavals of twentieth-century India. In a newly independent India charged with national vigour, Charu, the motherless daughter of a railway worker, pines for freedom from the shackles of her impoverishment and meagre prospects. As diesel engines replace steam and the calamitous churn of drought, famine and a great strike engulfs her town, Charu dares to imagine a different future for herself. She boards a train and flees westwards, leaving behind the oppressive domesticity of her childhood for the alluring modernity, and apparent opportunities, of Bombay. Unfazed by the everyday discriminations around her, she becomes an unlikely hero: a railway woman and census enumerator who keeps her heart open -sometimes guilelessly - to her nation's vast possibility. Sweeping, elegiac and at times wonderfully comic, Railsong is a powerful portrait of grit, optimism and the force of character that enables one remarkable woman to live on her own terms in a country full of contradictions.

A Novel

Railsong

An authoritative and cutting-edge exploration of how land, transportation, and economic forces shape cities, regions, and the distribution of economic activities from a local to a global scale. Land, by its very nature, is immobile and unproduced, creating competition for prime locations that drives disparities in economic outcomes. Transportation, meanwhile, serves as the mechanism for overcoming spatial frictions but imposes costs that influence where firms and individuals choose to locate. Together, these factors explain the emergence and persistence of cities, regional disparities, and even global patterns of economic concentration. In Spatial Economics, Hans R.A. Koster, Stef Proost, and Jacques-François Thisse explore how cities, regions, and the global economy are shaped by the interplay between location, land use, and transportation. The authors examine why economic activities are clustered in large metropolitan areas and dispersed in vast areas, driven by the balance between the gains from concentration and various congestion and pollution costs. Blending classical theories with modern data and modeling approaches, the book addresses urbanization, spatial inequality, and the effects of policies like infrastructure investments and land regulations. Accessible yet rigorous, it offers valuable insights for understanding the geographic organization of economic activity in today's interconnected world.
