Migration intensity is as important as the original decision to migrate. For example, stricter border enforcement deters immigration but also has an unintended intensification effect whereby stricter border controls lead migrants to make fewer return trips, prolong total U.S. time, reduce remittances and move dependents to theNew Americans (LFB Scholarly Publishing LLC)Foreign workersUnited StatesMexicansUnited StatesUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationEconomic aspectsMexicoEmigration and immigrationEconomic aspectsUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationGovernment policyElectronic books.Foreign workersMexicans331.5/440973Kaufmann Florian K(Florian Kristof),1979-984548MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910462543103321Mexican labor migrants and U.S. immigration policies2249694UNINA04935nam 2200985 a 450 991077807950332120230422045857.01-282-35618-697866123561860-520-92080-510.1525/9780520920804(CKB)1000000000765493(EBL)470820(OCoLC)609849890(SSID)ssj0000300988(PQKBManifestationID)11947505(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000300988(PQKBWorkID)10259159(PQKB)10922012(MiAaPQ)EBC470820(DE-B1597)518660(DE-B1597)9780520920804(Au-PeEL)EBL470820(CaPaEBR)ebr10676229(CaONFJC)MIL235618(EXLCZ)99100000000076549319980514d1999 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrKea, bird of paradox[electronic resource] the evolution and behavior of a New Zealand parrot /Judy Diamond and Alan B.

Its true character is a mystery that biologists have debated for more than a century. Judy Diamond and Alan Bond have written a comprehensive account of the kea's contradictory nature, and their conclusions cast new light on the origins of behavioral flexibility and the problem of species survival in human environments everywhere.New Zealand's geological remoteness has made the country home to a bizarre assemblage of plants and animals that are wholly unlike anything found elsewhere. Keas are native only to the South Island, breeding high in the rigorous, unforgiving environment of the Southern Alps. Bold, curious, and ingeniously destructive, keas have a complex social system that includes extensive play behavior. Like coyotes, crows, and humans, keas are "open-program" animals with an unusual ability to learn and to create new solutions to whatever problems they encounter.Diamond and Bond present the kea's story from historical and contemporary perspectives and include observations from their years of field work. A comparison of the kea's behavior and ecology with that of its closest relative, the kaka of New Zealand's lowland rain forests, yields insights into the origins of the kea's extraordinary adaptability. The authors conclude that the kea's high level of sociality is a key factor in the flexible lifestyle that probably evolved in response to the alpine habitat's unreliable food resources and has allowed the bird to survive the extermination of much of its original ecosystem. But adaptability has its limits, as the authors make clear when describing present-day interactions between keas and humans and the attempts to achieve a peaceful coexistence.KeaEvolutionKeaBehavioradaptability.adaptive behavior.alpine habitat.animal behavior.animals.behavioral flexibility.biology.bird.ecology.ecosystem.ethology.habitat.kaka.kea.life sciences.mountain birds.mountains.natural history.nature.new zealand.nonfiction.open program animals.ornithology.parrot.rainforest.science.southern alps.unforgiving environment.wild animals.wilderness.zoology.KeaEvolution.KeaBehavior.598.7/1Diamond Judy455970Bond Alan B.1946-1561177MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910778079503321Kea, bird of paradox3827687UNINA04301nam 2200733 a 450 991078149680332120200520144314.00-8014-6133-20-8014-6085-910.7591/9780801460852(CKB)2550000000040569(OCoLC)730914437(CaPaEBR)ebrary10468081(SSID)ssj0000529826(PQKBManifestationID)11339026(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000529826(PQKBWorkID)10561495(PQKB)11397014(StDuBDS)EDZ0001495764(MiAaPQ)EBC3138202(MdBmJHUP)muse28864(DE-B1597)478244(OCoLC)979575516(DE-B1597)9780801460852(Au-PeEL)EBL3138202(CaPaEBR)ebr10468081(CaONFJC)MIL768982(EXLCZ)99255000000004056920100830d2011 uy 0engur|||||||||||txtccrPlanning for empire[electronic resource] reform bureaucrats and the Japanese wartime state /Janis MimuraIthaca [N.Y.] Cornell University Press20111 online resource (239 p.)

It forwarded the project of remaking the Japanese state along technocratic and fascistic lines and creating a self-sufficient Asian bloc centered on Japan and its puppet state of Manchukuo. In Planning for Empire, Janis Mimura traces the origins and evolution of this new order and the ideas and policies of its chief architects, the reform bureaucrats. The reform bureaucrats pursued a radical, authoritarian vision of modern Japan in which public and private spheres were fused, ownership and control of capital were separated, and society was ruled by technocrats.Mimura shifts our attention away from reactionary young officers to state planners-reform bureaucrats, total war officers, new zaibatsu leaders, economists, political scientists, engineers, and labor party leaders. She shows how empire building and war mobilization raised the stature and influence of these middle-class professionals by calling forth new government planning agencies, research bureaus, and think tanks to draft Five Year industrial plans, rationalize industry, mobilize the masses, streamline the bureaucracy, and manage big business. Deftly examining the political battles and compromises of Japanese technocrats in their bid for political power and Asian hegemony, Planning for Empire offers a new perspective on Japanese fascism by revealing its modern roots in the close interaction of technology and right-wing ideology.Studies of the Weatherhead East Asian Institute, Columbia University.BureaucracyJapanHistoryTechnological innovationsJapanHistoryFascismJapanHistoryCivil-military relationsJapanHistoryJapanPolitics and government1926-1945Manchuria (China)History1931-1945BureaucracyHistory.Technological innovationsHistory.FascismHistory.Civil-military relationsHistory.952.03/3Mimura Janis1963-1540480MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910781496803321Planning for empire3792160UNINA
