作者：  杨光主编

出版社：社会科学文献出版社,2007

简介：《中东非洲发展报告(2006-2007):中国与非洲关系的历史与现实(国际形势黄皮书)(附光盘1张)》的专题部分的题目是“中国与非洲关系的历史与现实”。中国与非洲的关系源远流长，郑和下“西洋”曾经把古代中非关系推向高峰。新中国成立以来，中非关系快速发展，并表现出连续性和阶段性相统一的特点。改革开放以来，中非关系的发展增添了新的动力，双方在政治、经济、文化和安全领域的合作全面发展，南非等非洲大国与中国关系的发展尤为引人注目。 报告的地区形势部分对2006年中东非洲地区的形势进行了全面回顾和分析。 2006年，中东局势继续动荡。哈马斯赢得巴勒斯坦立法委员会选举后，巴以关系陷入僵局，法塔赫与哈马斯之间武装冲突不断；以色列与黎巴嫩的真主党爆发战争；伊拉克在举行国民议会选举和组成新政府后，安全局势并无好转，教派仇杀加剧，国家处在内战边缘；伊朗核问题逐步升级，联合国安理会通过制裁伊朗的决议。 非洲的政局总体走向稳定。多党民主制度在选举的考验下继续推进，热点问题降温，苏丹达尔富尔问题出现缓和，但也爆发了埃塞俄比亚与索马里的新冲突。大国继续重视非洲。美国试图在非洲加强“反恐”和军事存在；欧盟发表《对非战略文件》，全面阐述对非战略构想；日本为争当联合国安理会常任理事国，继续谋求非洲国家支持。中国政府发表《中国对非政策文件》并举办中非合作论坛北京峰会，确立中非新型战略伙伴关系，把中非友好合作关系推上新高度。 中东非洲国家总体上保持中速经济增长。高油价和其他初级产品价格上涨、宏观经济政策和结构性调整、贸易额的快速增长、外国直接投资和外国援助的大幅度增加，以及非洲战乱的减少，为经济增长提供了有利的条件。但也有一些国家出现了通货膨胀重新抬头的趋势。

简介：　　Long before graffiti was adopted as the visual expression of hip-hop culture in the 1980s, Chicano gang members in East Los Angeles had been developing stylized calligraphy and writing on walls. Cholo (gangster) scripts became the first distinctive letter forms to evolve in the modern vernacular tradition of graffiti writing. Today Los Angeles writers of diverse backgrounds draw from a unique confluence of cultures that has led to regionally distinctive styles. 　　 　　 Graffiti L.A. provides a comprehensive and visual history of graffiti in Los Angeles, as well as an in-depth examination of the myriad styles and techniques used by writers today. Complementing the main text, interviews with L.A.’s most prolific and infamous writers provide insight into the lives of these fugitive artists. Essential to the understanding of the development of the graffiti movement, this book will be an invaluable source to graffiti fans around the world.

简介：Summary: Publisher Summary 1 As an overview of the principles underlying participatory budgeting, this book analyzes the advantages and disadvantages of its use in countries around the world, so that policy makers and practitioners can improve practices in the interest of inclusive governance. It brings together learning modules in nine chapters, which were prepared for the World Bank Institute learning programs over the past three years by Shah (economics and public sector governance, World Bank Institute). The second section consists of regional surveys of areas of the developing world: Latin America, Central and Eastern Europe, Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, and the Middle East and North Africa. On the CD-ROM, specific country cases of Bangladesh, India, the Philippines, Russia, South Africa, Thailand, and the Ukraine are presented. Contributors work in public administration, political science, economics, public affairs, and other fields and are from around the world. The book is aimed at public officials, development practitioners, students, and those interested in public governance in developing countries. Annotation 漏2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)   Publisher Summary 2 In the past three or four decades, public finance theorists and practitioners have struggled to identify and design institutional arrangements to help close the gap between the preferences of voters and the mix of public services actually delivered. Participatory budgeting is potentially a good approach. This book presents an authoritative guide to the principles and practice of participatory budgeting, providing a careful analysis of the potentials of participatory budgeting in strengthening inclusive and accountable governance as well as risks associated with interest group capture of participatory processes. For interested policy makers and practitioners, the book presents the 'nuts and bolts' of participatory budgeting. It provides a regional survey of such practices worldwide and draws lessons from seven individual country case studies. A CD-ROM included with the book contains these seven country case studies on Bangladesh, India, the Philippines, Russia, South Africa, Thailand and the Ukraine.  

Volcanism and subduction : the Kamchatka region /

作者：  John Eichelberger, Evgenii Gordeev , Pavel Izbekov , Minoru Kasahara , Jonathan Lees

出版社：AmericanGeophysicalUnion 2007

简介：The Kamchatka Peninsula and contiguous North Pacific Rim is among the most active regions in the world. Kamchatka itself contains 29 active volcanoes, 4 now in a state of semi-continuous eruption, and I has experienced 14 magnitude 7 or greater earthquakes since accurate recording began in 1962. At its heart is the uniquely acute subduction cusp where the Kamchatka and Aleutian Arcs and Emperor Seamount Chain meet. Volcanism and Subduction covers coupled magmatism and tectonics in this spectacular region, where the torn North Pacific slab dives into hot mantle. Senior Russian and American authors grapple with the dynamics of the cusp with perspectives from the west and east of it, respectively, while careful tephrostratigraphy yields a remarkably precise record of behavior of storied volcanoes such as Kliuchevskoi and Shiveluch. Towards the south, Japanese researchers elucidate subduction earthquake processes with unprecedented geodetic resolution. Looking eastward, new insights on caldera formation, monitoring, and magma ascent are presented for the Aleutians. This is one of the first books of its kind printed in the English language. Students and scientists beginning research in the region will find in this book a useful context and introduction to the region's scientific leaders. Others who wish to apply lessons learned in the North Pacific to their areas of interest will find the volume a valuable reference.
