Many schools have "no touch" policies; the isolating effects of Internet-driven work and life can leave us hungry for tactile experience. In this book Field explains why we may need a daily dose of touch. The first sensory input in life comes from the sense of touch while a baby is still in the womb, and touch continues to be the primary means of learning about the world throughout infancy and well into childhood. Touch is critical, too, for adults' physical and mental health. Field describes studies showing that touch therapy can benefit everyone, from premature infants to children with asthma to patients with conditions that range from cancer to eating disorders. This second edition of Touch, revised and updated with the latest research, reports on new studies that show the role of touch in early development, in communication (including the reading of others' emotions), in personal relationships and even in sports. It describes the physiological and biological effects of touch, including areas of the brain affected by touch and the effects of massage therapy on prematurity, attentiveness, depression, pain and immune functions. Touch has been shown to have positive effects on growth, brain waves, breathing and heart rate, and to decrease stress and anxiety. As Field makes clear, we enforce our society's touch taboo at our peril. 606 $aTouch$xPsychological aspects 606 $aTouch$xTherapeutic use 606 $aMassage therapy 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aTouch$xPsychological aspects. 615 0$aTouch$xTherapeutic use. 615 0$aMassage therapy. 676 $a152.1/82 700 $aField$b Tiffany$013658 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463533003321 996 $aTouch$92150254 997 $aUNINA LEADER 03769nam 22007092 450 001 9910819853803321 005 20151005020622.0 010 $a1-139-61123-2 010 $a1-107-23808-0 010 $a1-139-62239-0 010 $a1-139-60939-4 010 $a1-139-61309-X 010 $a1-139-61681-1 010 $a1-139-62611-6 010 $a1-139-50676-5 035 $a(CKB)2670000000344003 035 $a(EBL)1099952 035 $a(OCoLC)843191690 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000857604 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)11437174 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000857604 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10867888 035 $a(PQKB)10148094 035 $a(UkCbUP)CR9781139506762 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1099952 035 $a(Au-PeEL)EBL1099952 035 $a(CaPaEBR)ebr10695287 035 $a(CaONFJC)MIL494753 035 $a(PPN)180973185 035 $a(EXLCZ)992670000000344003 100 $a20120515d2013|||| uy| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur||||||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$aBankers, bureaucrats, and central bank politics $ethe myth of neutrality /$fChristopher Adolph$b[electronic resource] 210 1$aCambridge :$cCambridge University Press,$d2013. 215 $a1 online resource (xxiii, 357 pages) $cdigital, PDF file(s) 225 1 $aCambridge studies in comparative politics 300 $aTitle from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015). 311 $a1-107-56709-2 311 $a1-107-03261-X 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references and index. 327 $aAgents, institutions, and the political economy of performance -- Career theories of monetary policy -- Central banker careers and inflation in industrial democracies -- Careers and the monetary policy process: three mechanism tests -- Careers and inflation in developing countries -- How central bankers use their independence -- Partisan governments, labor unions and monetary policy -- The politics of central banker appointment -- The politics of central banker tenure -- Conclusion: the dilemma of discretion. 330 $aMost studies of the political economy of money focus on the laws protecting central banks from government interference; this book turns to the overlooked people who actually make monetary policy decisions. Using formal theory and statistical evidence from dozens of central banks across the developed and developing worlds, this book shows that monetary policy agents are not all the same. Molded by specific professional and sectoral backgrounds and driven by career concerns, central bankers with different career trajectories choose predictably different monetary policies. These differences undermine the widespread belief that central bank independence is a neutral solution for macroeconomic management. Instead, through careful selection and retention of central bankers, partisan governments can and do influence monetary policy - preserving a political trade-off between inflation and real economic performance even in an age of legally independent central banks. 410 0$aCambridge studies in comparative politics. 517 3 $aBankers, Bureaucrats, & Central Bank Politics 606 $aMonetary policy 606 $aBanks and banking, Central$xPolitical aspects 606 $aBureaucracy 615 0$aMonetary policy. 615 0$aBanks and banking, Central$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aBureaucracy. 676 $a332.1/1 700 $aAdolph$b Christopher$f1976-$01665320 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819853803321 996 $aBankers, bureaucrats, and central bank politics$94023873 997 $aUNINA
