Corruption is one of the biggest global issues, ahead of extreme poverty, unemployment, the rising cost of food and energy, climate change, and terrorism. It is thought to be one of the principal causes of poverty around the globe. Its significance in the contemporary world cannot be undervalued. In this Very Short Introduction, Leslie Holmes looks the history of corruption across the millennia and considers why the international community has only highlighted it as a problem in the past two decades. Holmes explores the phenomenon from several different perspectives, from the cultural differences affecting how corruption is defined, its impact, its various causes, and the possible remedies. Providing evidence of corruption and considering ways to address it around the world, this is an important introduction to a significant and serious global issue.

Sony STR-AN1000 Malfunctioning
Style: STR-AN1000 AV Receiver only
I had the previous model which started Malfunctioning after about 10 years so I decided to replace it with this. I bought the 'renewed' new model. This started failing almost immediately. The logic constantly malfunctions; the input selection stopped working, the remote doesn't respond, it goes into mute. I'm unplugging it every few days to get the unit to thing to start functioning again. Initially I thought it was operator error but the errors started increasing with frequency. The malfunctions seemed similar to my old 8 year old model. I got less than 6 months of use out of this and now I have to replace it. Specs might be good on paper, the sound is decent for its class but I think that even my 10-year old 1050 should have lasted longer.

FM Antenna
Style: STR-AN1000 AV Receiver only
The Sony receiver is a good piece of equipment but it lacks an FM antenna to receive channel's in the local area.
I understand signal propagation, bandwidth, side lobs and RF dead spots and bit more.
I can get a $12 box radio set it up in the same spot and the reception is great. nuff said
