And how does literary influence work on writers in different ways? Grounded in the findings of empirical psychology, this book amends classic reader-response theory and attends to neglected aspects of reading that cannot be explained by traditional literary criticism. Reading arises from a combination of two kinds of mental work: automatic and controlled processes. Automatic processes, such as the ability to see visual symbols as words, are the result of constant practice; controlled processes, such as predicting what might occur next in a story, arise from readers' conscious use of skills and background knowledge. When we read, automatic and controlled processes work together to create the "gist" of reading, the constant interplay between these two kinds of processes. Andrew Elfenbein not only explains how we read today, but also uses current knowledge about reading to consider readers of past centuries, arguing that understanding gist is central to interpreting the social, psychological, and political impact of literary works. The result is the first major revisionary account of reading practices in literary criticism since the 1970s. 606 $aBooks and reading$xPsychological aspects 606 $aBooks and reading$xHistory$y19th century 615 0$aBooks and reading$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aBooks and reading$xHistory 676 $a028/.9 700 $aElfenbein$b Andrew$0775064 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910796384103321 996 $aThe gist of reading$93744288 997 $aUNINA LEADER 06881nam 22008175 450 001 9910298490603321 005 20200920113712.0 010 $a81-322-2160-5 024 7 $a10.1007/978-81-322-2160-9 035 $a(CKB)3710000000416738 035 $a(EBL)2094118 035 $a(SSID)ssj0001500712 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11904632 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001500712 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)11522086 035 $a(PQKB)11486212 035 $a(DE-He213)978-81-322-2160-9 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC2094118 035 $a(PPN)186025181 035 $a(EXLCZ)993710000000416738 100 $a20150526d2015 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 10$aDeveloping Country Perspectives on Public Service Delivery$b[electronic resource] /$fedited by Anjula Gurtoo, Colin Williams 205 $a1st ed. 2015. 210 1$aNew Delhi :$cSpringer India :$cImprint: Springer,$d2015. 215 $a1 online resource (298 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a81-322-2159-1 327 $aSection I.

Conclusion: Public Service Delivery - Emergent Essentials (Anjula Gurtoo, Colin c.

The last decade has witnessed significant government focus on service delivery in developing nations like South Africa, Philippines, India and Malaysia. At the forefront of this movement has been the public sector reforms significantly driven by two broad factors: public sector inefficiencies, and liberal economic ideology. This move towards efficient public service delivery in developing nations (versus developed nations) has required a significant shift in institutional thinking and institutional capacity for the governments. It is therefore no surprise that while economic liberalization has been relatively easy to implement, governance reforms towards public service delivery has been significantly more challenging. In this background, the chapters of the book, with sector themes, examine the three basic foundations of public policy?courses of action, regulatory measures and issues, and funding structures and priorities?in public service delivery. The book is a multi country, multi sector, perspective since it includes studies from Russian Federation, India, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Fiji, South Africa, Columbia, Philippines, Macedonia, and India. This perspective lends itself to the investigation for a comprehensive overall development model. 606 $aDevelopment economics 606 $aPublic administration 606 $aFinance, Public 606 $aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects 606 $aMedical economics 606 $aLabor economics 606 $aDevelopment Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W42000 606 $aPublic Administration$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34030 606 $aPublic Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34000 606 $aAgricultural Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W47000 606 $aHealth Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W35000 606 $aLabor Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W37000 615 0$aDevelopment economics. 615 0$aPublic administration. 615 0$aFinance, Public. 615 0$aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aMedical economics. 615 0$aLabor economics. 615 14$aDevelopment Economics. 615 24$aPublic Administration. 615 24$aPublic Economics. 615 24$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aHealth Economics. 615 24$aLabor Economics. 676 $a330 676 $a331 676 $a336 676 $a338.1 676 $a338.473621 676 $a338.9 676 $a351 702 $aGurtoo$b Anjula$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aWilliams$b Colin$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910298490603321 996 $aDeveloping Country Perspectives on Public Service Delivery$92519951 997 $aUNINA
