Contracting for Public Services
A new book published by the World Bank's Private Sector Advisory Services outlines an innovative approach to delivering development assistance for public basic services such as potable water, safe sanitation, modern energy, and primary education and healthcare. Called output-based aid, the approach delegates service delivery to the non-profit or for profit private sector under contracts that tie payments to the outputs or results actually delivered to target beneficiaries. The book gathers cases of innovative, output-based approaches from across the infrastructure and social sectors, and also provides a checklist for designing and implementing output-based schemes.

Global Revolutionary Aesthetics and Politics after Paris ‘68
The year 2018 marked the fiftieth anniversary of May ’68, a startling, by now almost mythic event which combined seriousness, courage, humor and theatrics. The contributions of this volume—based on papers presented the conference Does “la lutte continue”? The Global Afterlife of May ’68 at Florida State University in March 2019—explore the ramifications of that springtime protest in the contemporary world. What has widely become known as the movement of ‘68 consisted, in fact, of many synchronous movements in different nations that promoted a great variety of political, social, and cultural agendas. While it is impossible to write a global history of ’68, this volume presents...
Rumors of Wisdom
Efforts at interpreting Joban poetry have often been divided between philological and literary critics. This study brings these two critical modes together to offer an account of how Job 28 achieves meaning. The heart of the study consists of two major sections. The first is a reading of the poem with special attention to the conceptual background of its metaphors. Rather than a poetic account of mining technology, Job 28 is properly understood against the heroic deeds of ancient Mesopotamian kings described in Sumerian and Akkadian royal narratives, especially the Gilgamesh epic. The second major section is a thorough philological and textual commentary in which comparative philological and text-critical methods are complemented by an aesthetic rationale for restoring the text of the poem as a work of art. The study reveals a multileveled and image-driven masterpiece whose complexity impacts how one reads Job 28 as poetry and theology.
2: Bad Company
Luke and Megan Kite may now be acknowledged as the owners of their father's multi-million pound corporation, Kite Industries, but not everyone is happy that they are in charge... When Megan gets stalked, and then kidnapped by a mysterious activist group claiming Human Rights as their cause...Luke realises he cannot trust those closest to them...Perhaps not even Megan herself. The ransom demand seems reasonable - and humane - enough but there is another motivation for Megan's captivity, Luke is sure of it, and he's determined to dig deep to find out. Once again, endangering himself. And when his father's ex-girlfriend Celine comes on the scene, claiming she knows more about his father's death, Luke is instantly suspicious...She has a lot to gain from Megan and Luke's 'removal' after all. Luke has to consider all his options, and play double-agent, if he has to. Otherwise both he and his sister could lose everything, and each other, for good.
