The Falling Rate of Profit and the Great Recession of 2007-2009
In The Falling Rate of Profit and the Great Recession of 2007-2009, Peter H. Jones develops a new non-equilibrium interpretation of the labour theory of value Karl Marx builds in Capital. Applying this to US national accounting data, Jones shows that when measured correctly the profit rate falls in the lead up to the Great Recession, and for the main reason Marx identifies: the rising organic composition of capital. Jones also details a new theory of finance, which shows how cycles in the profit rate relate to stock market booms and slumps, and movements in the interest rate. He discusses the implications of the analysis and Marx and Engels’ work generally for a democratic socialist strategy.
Design for Care
Healthcare is constantly evolving, with ever increasing complexity and costs presenting huge challenges for policy making, decision making, and system design. Design for Care presents an overview of the design issues facing healthcare and shows how designers can work with practice professionals, patients, caregivers, and other stakeholders to make a positive difference. Case studies, design methods, and leading-edge research illuminate emerging opportunities and provide inspiration for designing better services. (bron: rosenfeldmedia.com).
Handbook of Team Design
"But this book does more than draw on all the most successful approaches to team design, as applied in a broad range of real-world situations. The Handbook of Team Design also presents a new system of frameworks for applying these methods."--BOOK JACKET. "It provides you with guidelines for four separate arenas. You'll get precise procedures, checklists, charts, and workable tools for development in business and information systems, software products, user participation, and technical systems."--BOOK JACKET.
Systemic Design
This book presents emerging work in the co-evolving fields of design-led systemics, referred to as systemic design to distinguish it from the engineering and hard science epistemologies of system design or systems engineering. There are significant societal forces and organizational demands impelling the requirement for “better means of change” through integrated design practices of systems and services. Here we call on advanced design to lead programs of strategic scale and higher complexity (e.g., social policy, healthcare, education, urbanization) while adapting systems thinking methods, creatively pushing the boundaries beyond the popular modes of systems dynamics and soft systems.

Capturing the Pagan Mind
Imagine a sports-mad culture, deep into Eastern spirituality, political globalism, and religious syncretism. Where women, finding child-rearing an inconvenience, abandon or abort their babies. A society where divorce and remarriage touches everyone. Imagine a society overrun by sexual deviancy and perversion. Sound familiar? It would sound familiar to the apostle Paul. The culture to which he ministered so effectively resembled our planetary culture -- almost decadent point for point. But what should encourage Christians today is that Paul, understanding the times, knew how to reach the culture for Christ. And he can teach us the rules of engagement today. Capturing the Pagan Mind helps us look to an old rabbi, who is still relevant, wise, and powerful and who still tells pagans who their "unknown god" really is -- their Creator and Redeemer Book jacket.
Agricultural Enlightenment
Agricultural Enlightenment explores the modernization of the rural economy in Europe through the lens of the Enlightenment. It focuses on the second half of the eighteenth century and emphasizes the role of useful knowledge in the process of agrarian change and agricultural development. As such it invites economic historians to respond to the challenge issued by Joel Mokyr to look beyond quantitative data and to take seriously the argument that cultural factors, broadly understood, may have aided or hindered the evolution of agriculture in the early modern period ("what people knew and believed" had a direct bearing on their economic behavior Mokyr, The Enlightened Economy]). Evidence in support of the idea that a readily accessible supply of agricultural knowledge helps to explain the trajectory of the rural economy is drawn from all of the countries of Europe. The book includes two cases studies of rapid rural modernization in Scotland and Denmark where Agricultural Enlightenment was swiftly followed by full-scale Agricultural Revolution.
H. Jones VC
"Thoroughly researched and including much new material, this biography is written with the cooperation of H. Jones's widow and is published to coincide with the 20th anniversary of his death at the climax of the Falklands War. It is the story of an emblematic but complex war hero whose family history was surprising, whose army life included exposure to most of the military problems which Britain has encountered since the Second World War (including security in Northern Ireland, where H. Jones was in command of the search for Robert Nairac), and whose dramatic death and subsequent posthumous VC symbolized an extraordinary campaign which was truly the end of an era. Sir John Wilsey was a close friend and army colleague of H. Jones. The biography is introduced by Sir John Keegan."
One Or Two
"One or Two describes as 'One-ism' and 'Two-ism,' the two ways of being spiritual. One-ism believes that everything that exists is of one substance and that the goal of theology, spirituality and even sexuality is to destroy all distinctions, and bring all things together. Two-ism believes that there is a God outside creation who made all that is not God and has structured creation for the good of humanity. Two-ism has implications in our theology, spirituality and sexuality. The book is based on the argumentation of the apostle Paul in Romans 1. Peter Jones analyzes the current cultural expressions of spirituality in light of these two approaches" -- Amazon.com.
