The socio-economic organisation of the Urartian Kingdom /
:
In The Socio-economic Organisation of the Urartian Kingdom , Ali Çifçi presents a detailed study of the life of the highland communities of eastern Anatolia, Armenia and north-west Iran between the 9th and 6th centuries BC. In doing so, the author uses archaeological excavations, surveys, and textual evidence from both Urartian and Assyrian sources, as well as original ethnographic observations, within the context of the geographical setting of the Urartu Kingdom. This book investigates various aspects of the Urartian Kingdom from its economic resources and the movement of commodities (agriculture, animal husbandry, metallurgy, trade, et cetera) to the management of those resources and the administrative organisation of the state. This includes the Urartian concept of kingship and the king's role in administration, construction, the division of the kingdom, as well as the income generated by warfare. "There are several key philological and archaeological works that propel the field of Urartian studies and provide dialogue partners for Urartologists and historians of Anatolia and the ancient Near East...Ali Çifçi's The Socio-Economic Organisation of the Urartian Kingdom can be included as a partner in dialogue when researching Urartu and Iron Age Anatolian archaeology..." Selim Ferruh Adalı, Social Sciences University of Ankara, in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2018.07.22.

Ecological economics /
:
A textbook about the nature of economics and the economics of nature Is economic growth the cause of or the solution for biodiversity loss? Why do we keep drilling for oil and gas when green energy sources are cheaper? And is it possible to protect nature without government intervention? The answer to these and other questions lies in economic knowledge. But in an age when the boundaries between nature and society are becoming increasingly vague, ecology and economics are still worlds apart. Not only should economists find out more about ecology, ecologists should acquire a better understanding of economic principles and concepts: from Adam Smith's invisible hand to the Gini coefficient and from diminishing marginal utility to the Hedonic Pricing method. The aim of this book is to provide students with knowledge and an understanding of economic science and to offer them a mindset for tackling the important ecological issues of our time. The book demonstrates that economic theories are sometimes part of an ecological problem but can also offer valuable insights in the search for a solution. The textbook is intended for use on ecology courses at institutes for professional education and on science courses. A strange combination at first glance but, having read this book, I am convinced of the inextricable link between ecology and economics. This book is an eye-opener not just for professional and science students but also for policymakers and land managers. My interest increased with every page and my knowledge about the interfaces and connections between two interesting disciplines grew considerably. Hans van Rooijen, Former director of Woodland and Nature Conservation course, Hogeschool Van Hall Larenstein, the Netherlands 'Old-fashioned' administrators and economists have a tendency to regard economics and ecology as counter-forces. And many nature conservationists don't think that nature should be discussed in terms of (economic) utility. In all honesty, both visions are fairly blinkered. It goes without saying that nature has a value in itself, which is why Natuurmonumenten has worked in this area for more than 110 years. But nature also has economic significance - and needn't be an obstacle to economic development. It can even be an economic multiplier. The thinking around synergies between economics and ecology must be intensified, to make the world a better place. This book can only help! - Marc van den Tweel, Chief Executive Natuurmonumenten (Dutch conservation organisation), the Netherlands.

Der industrialisierte Krieg : Studien zu Unternehmen, Wirtschaft und Forschung im Ersten Weltkrieg /
:
Der Erste Weltkrieg macht ein Phänomen moderner Kriege greifbar: die enge Verflechtung von militärischen und industriellen Aufgabenstellungen. Er wird oft als der erste industrialisierte Krieg beschrieben. Die sich rapide modernisierende Realität des Kriegsgeschehens 1914 bis 1918 ließ die Bedeutung einer steten Versorgung mit industriell hergestellten Gütern immer weiter anwachsen. Dies betraf sowohl die Ausrüstung und Versorgung der Soldaten an den Fronten, auf dem Meer und in der Luft wie auch der Zivilbevölkerung in der Heimat. Die Perspektive der produzierenden Unternehmen in den verschiedenen Wirtschaftsbranchen in diesem Geschehenszusammenhang ist bislang aber kaum erforscht. Die Studien in diesem Band werfen dazu neue Fragen auf und bieten innovative Ansätze, um diese Lücke zu schließen.

Paradise on the Instalment Plan : The Economic Thought of the Australian Labour Movement between the Depression and the Long Boom /
:
Contemporary labour movement thinking about the Australian economy took shape between the depression of the 193s and the long post-war boom, in the form of moderate and, today much diminished, left nationalist currents. Economic conditions, the level of the class struggle and the political proclivities of different classes, particularly as expressed in the working class's main organisations - the Australian Labor Party (ALP), Communist Party of Australia (CPA) and trade unions. This study focuses on labour movement understandings of three fundamental aspects of Australian capitalism: the country's place in the world; its class structure; and its experience of severe economic fluctuations.

Lenin's Comintern Revisited /
:
The Communist International (or 'Comintern') was launched in 1919 to promote worldwide extension of the 1917 workers' and peasants' revolution in Russia. During the Comintern's first years under the leadership of V.I. Lenin, it proposed and tested strategic and tactical concepts that retain their value and continue to be studied. While the Communist International was soon to be deformed and destroyed by the rise of bureaucracy and authoritarianism associated with Stalinism, its perspective on the fight for international revolutionary change still presents a compelling vision, and is an inspiring example for millions throughout the world.

Sufi Institutions /
:
"This volume describes the social and practical aspects of Islamic mysticism (Sufism) across centuries and geographical regions. Its authors seek to transcend ethereal, essentialist and "spiritualizing" approaches to Sufism, on the one hand, and purely pragmatic and materialistic explanations of its origins and history, on the other. Covering five topics (Sufism's economy, social role of Sufis, Sufi spaces, politics, and organization), the volume shows that mystics have been active socio-religious agents who could skillfully adjust to the conditions of their time and place, while also managing to forge an alternative way of living, worshiping and thinking. Basing themselves on the most recent research on Sufi institutions, the contributors to this volume substantially expand our understanding of the vicissitudes of Sufism by paying special attention to its organizational and economic dimensions, as well as complex and often ambivalent relations between Sufis and the societies in which they played a wide variety of important and sometimes critical roles. Contributors are Mehran Afshari, Ismail Fajrie Alatas, Semih Ceyhan, Rachida Chih, Nathalie Clayer, David Cook, Stéphane A. Dudoignon, Daphna Ephrat, Peyvand Firouzeh, Nathan Hofer, Hussain Ahmad Khan, Catherine Mayeur-Jaouen, Richard McGregor, Ahmet Yaşar Ocak, Alexandre Papas, Luca Patrizi, Paulo Pinto, Adam Sabra, Mark Sedgwick, Jean-Jacques Thibon, Knut S. Vikør and Neguin Yavari"--
