Sr Isotopes in Seawater - Bog af B. Lynn (University of California Ingram - Paperback

Sr Isotopes in Seawater - Bog af B. Lynn (University of California Ingram - Paperback

Studies of Sr isotopic composition of thousands of samples of marine sediments and fossils have yielded a curve of 87Sr/86Sr versus age for seawater Sr that extends back to 1 billion years. The ratio has fluctuated with large amplitude during this time period, and because the ratio is always uniform in the oceans globally at any one time, it is useful as a stratigraphic correlation and age-dating tool. The ratio also appears to reflect major tectonic and climatic events in Earth history and hence..

Elite Conflicts and the Path to Economic Decentralization - Mingxing Liu - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Elite Conflicts and the Path to Economic Decentralization - Mingxing Liu - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Why would a politically centralized state embark on the path of economic decentralization? This Element delves into the political origin of the puzzling economic decentralization in mainland China. The authors contend that the intra-elite conflicts between the authoritarian ruler and the ruling elites within the state prompted the ruler to pursue decentralization as a strategy to curb the influence wielded by the ruling elites. By examining the composition of the Chinese Communist Party''s Central Committee, they find that the Cultural Revolution, fueled by elite conflicts, shifted the elite selectorate''s composition from favoring central agencies to favoring local interests. Subsequent low turnover reinforced this shift, aligning elite incentives with decentralization policies and committing the Chinese leadership to a decentralized path in the 1980s. Additionally, Taiwan''s economic liberalization under the Kuomintang''s authoritarian rule provides further evidence of the link between ruling party elite composition and economic policy orientation.

Xenophon and the Athenian Democracy - Matthew R. Christ - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

Xenophon and the Athenian Democracy - Matthew R. Christ - Bog - Cambridge University Press - Plusbog.dk

This book seeks to understand Xenophon as an elite Athenian writing largely for an elite Athenian audience in the first half of the fourth century BC. It argues that Xenophon calls on men of his own class to set aside their assumptions of superiority based on birth or wealth and to reinvent themselves as individuals who can provide effective leadership to the democratic city and serve it as good citizens. Xenophon challenges, criticizes, and sometimes satirizes the Athenian elite, and seeks to instruct them concerning the values, knowledge, and practical skills they will need to succeed as civic leaders. Xenophon is thus best understood not as an aristocratic dinosaur who is out of place in a democratic setting, as some have assumed, but as a thoughtful and pragmatic reformist who seeks to ensure that meritorious members of the elite step forward to lead within the democracy.

Pelagic Barite - Tracer of Ocean Productivity and a Recorder of Isotopic Compositions of Seawater S, O, Sr, Ca and Ba - Bog af Weiqi (University of To

Pelagic Barite - Tracer of Ocean Productivity and a Recorder of Isotopic Compositions of Seawater S, O, Sr, Ca and Ba - Bog af Weiqi (University of To

Paleo-reconstruction involves the use of tracers that record seawater compositions, which in turn may be used to infer oceanic processes. Several important tracers are incorporated into pelagic barite: here we summarize the utility of pelagic barite for the reconstruction of export production and as a recorder of seawater S, O, Sr, Ca and Ba.

Elite Women and the Italian Wars, 1494–1559 - Bog af Susan (Australian Catholic University Broomhall - Paperback

Elite Women and the Italian Wars, 1494–1559 - Bog af Susan (Australian Catholic University Broomhall - Paperback

The Element analyses the critical importance of elite women to the conflict conventionally known as the Italian Wars that engulfed much of Europe and the Mediterranean between 1494 and 1559. Through its considered attention to the interventions of women connected to imperial, royal and princely dynasties, the authors show the breadth and depth of the opportunities, roles, impact, and influence that certain women had to shape the course of the conflict in both wartime activities and in peace-making...
