The key to development lies in the constant discovery of new combinations of production factors, spurred by technological innovations and progress. In 2000, global development had increased the Gross Global Product sevenfold since 1950. The average living standard of the world’s population improved rapidly. But at the same time, global poverty levels rose as well. The number of people living below the poverty line grew to 2.25 billion out of the world’s total population of 4 billion by the end of the 20th century. It was felt that economic development was leading to a sharp social decline; development scholars worried that social development to improve people’s welfare was being neglected.

Kunci pembangunan terletak pada penemuan kombinasi faktor produksi yang terus berkembang dipacu oleh pertumbuhan inovasi teknologi dan pembangunan melecit maju. Di tahun 2000, pembangunan global berhasil menaikkan jumlah "Produk Global Bruto" sebesar tujuh kali tahun 1950. Tingkat hidup rata-rata penduduk naik cepat. Namun serentak dengan ini, tingkat kemiskinan penduduk global juga naik. Jumlah penduduk sebesar 2,25 miliar dari 4 miliar total penduduk global hidup di bawah garis kemiskinan pada akhir abad ke-20. Pembangunan ekonomi dirasakan berjalan dengan pengunduran sosial yang tajam sehingga merisaukan para ilmuwan pembangunan yang menyaksikan tertinggalnya pembangunan sosial dalam menaikkan kesejahteraan rakyat.

Although the ocean-and the resources within-seem limitless, there is clear evidence that human impacts such as overfishing, habitat destruction, and pollution disrupt marine ecosystems and threaten the long-term productivity of the seas. Declining yields in many fisheries and decay of treasured marine habitats, such as coral reefs, has heightened interest in establishing a comprehensive system of marine protected areas (MPAs)-areas designated for special protection to enhance the management of marine resources. Therefore, there is an urgent need to evaluate how MPAs can be employed in the United States and internationally as tools to support specific conservation needs of marine and coastal waters. Marine Protected Areas compares conventional management of marine resources with proposals to augment these management strategies with a system of protected areas. The volume argues that implementation of MPAs should be incremental and adaptive, through the design of areas not only to conserve resources, but also to help us learn how to manage marine species more effectively.
More students learn from John Santrock's Adolescence than from any other text in this field. Students and instructors rely on the careful balance of accurate, current research and applications to the real lives of adolescents. The fully-revised eleventh edition includes a new chapter on health, expanded coverage of late adolescence, and more than 1200 research citations from the 21st century.
This collection of writings provides the only comprehensive introduction to the input-output model for which Leontief was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1973. The structural approach to economics developed by Leontief, and known as input-output analysis, paved the way for the transformation of economics into a truly empirical discipline that could utilize modern data processing technology. This thoroughly revised second edition includes twenty essays--twelve of which are new to this edition--that reflect the past developments and the present state of the field. Beginning with an introductory chapter, the book leads the reader into an understanding of the input-output approach--not only as formal theory but also as a research strategy and powerful tool for dealing with a complex modern economy.
Using bioinformatics methods to generate a systems-level view of the immune system; description of the main biological concepts and the new data-driven algorithms. Despite the fact that advanced bioinformatics methodologies have not been used as extensively in immunology as in other subdisciplines within biology, research in immunological bioinformatics has already developed models of components of the immune system that can be combined and that may help develop therapies, vaccines, and diagnostic tools for such diseases as AIDS, malaria, and cancer. In a broader perspective, specialized bioinformatics methods in immunology make possible for the first time a systems-level understanding of th...
This timely book provides an overview of natural products/botanicals used for the management of insect-pest and diseases. It will help readers to update and widen their knowledge about natural products and their bio-activities against plant pathogens.
