Book Description
Investment and all other economic actions depend on 'subjective' expectations. The problem is how to construct a theory of expectations that assumes people interpret their situations in unpredictable ways. Building on the evolutionary economics of F.A.Hayek, Koppl gives us such a theory. This includes a theory of 'Big Players', demonstrating that discretionary policy interventions create ignorance and uncertainty. The volume uses innovative methods to address many vital problems in economic theory, and connects with many other schools of economics including New Institutional Economics, Constitutional Economics and Post Walsarian Economics.
Book Description
In the world of work, managers and team leaders need powerful strategies to streamline workflow. Skillful delegation is one of the most effective skills a leader can have. The strategies and practical tools outlined in this resource demonstrate how managers and team leaders can break the cycle of business and complete projects more effectively and efficiently. It enables managers to devote their energy to critical issues and gives employees a chance to develop their capabilities and learn new skills. Included are numerous activities and checklists.

Book Description
This volume of
Methods in Enzymology contains contributions covering the wide spectrum of interactions between bacterial pathogens and their eukaryotic hosts. It complements Volume 235, in which methods for the isolation and identification of bacterial pathogens and associated virulence determinants are described. Since the study of bacterial pathogenesis borrows from a great variety of technologies and disciplines, we aim to provide the reader with a representative sample of the most advanced pathogenesis research.

Book Description
Review(s) `This is one of the first texts to deal with this significant and growing area in metal catalysed reactions. Not only does it fill a usefulniche, but it fills it well, and can be thoroughly recommended both as an introduction and as a handbook for anyone working in this important field.' Journal of Organometallic Chemistry, 304 (1986) `The most comprehensive single review ever published of supported metal complexes, including polymer-bound catalysts, has recently appeared in book form. ... This eleven chapter, 318 page text is well written and well organized.' Polymer News, 1986 `Though there have been a number of comprehensive reviews on the subject of supported metal complex catalysts, as well as a number of critical book chapters, this is the first full text devoted entirely to this subject. For this reason alone it is a book which should be acquired by those active in this and related areas ... a work of this depth and it is a tribute to Professor Hartley that he has achieved this.'
Book Description
The Activity-Based Tutorials are designed to accompany and enhance lecture instruction. They have been developed using a cycle of physics education research, including investigations into student learning on a given topic, development of materials, and revision of the materials based on evaluation after use in the classroom. Activity-Based Tutorials, Volume 1: Introductory Physics presents tutorials for topics in kinematics dynamics, oscillations, waves, heat and temperature, electrostatics, and circuits.

Book Description
A Companion to John Wyclif contains eight substantial essays covering the central aspects of John Wyclif's life and thought. The volume's authors have drawn on an extensive amount of primary material, as well as the most recent secondary sources, so as to present a comprehensive picture of Wyclif in his times. Topics covered include a detailed life and career of Wyclif, and close analyses of his logic and metaphysics; doctrine of the Trinity and Christology; political views; Christian life and piety; sacraments; the Bible; and an examination of his medieval opponents. Experts and students alike will profit from these in-depth studies all of which provide a view of Wyclif in his late medieval context. For those not already familiar with Wyclif this volume will serve as an excellent introduction; and those with greater expertise will find fresh appraisals which may, in turn, lead to further research.
Book Description
This volume brings together 29 new essays by leading international scholars, to provide an inclusive overview of recent work in Reformation history. The articles examine the Reformation in its broadest definition, presenting the Catholic Renewal as a continuum of the Protestant Reformation. The essays span the late fifteenth century to the middle of the eighteenth century and they focus on the workings of religious reform in all areas of Latin Christendom and beyond to include Eastern as well as Western Europe, Asia and the Americas.Established topics are examined alongside new areas of study, incorporating the latest scholarship and conceptual debates to provide a wide-ranging survey of the state of contemporary Reformation historiography. The book will be the ideal reference for students and professional historians interested in understanding the current concerns and future direction of this field.
Book Description
Brief yet detailed, this book provides a thoughtful history of human civilizations while maintaining a balance between the Western world and the rest of global civilization. It covers the general intellectual and material history of human societies and cultures that have left some kind of written and/or archeological record behind. A four-part organization covers the world in transition, enlightenment and revolution in the west, the modern world, and global conflict and change. For anyone trying to understand the historical experiences that have informed and shaped the world's cultures.
Customer Reviews:
global scope.......2007-03-10
The text is well written, with copious references in each chapter to other, more indepth sources. The illustrations are also carefully chosen.
Of necessity, in spanning 500 years across the globe, much has to be abbreviated. But the key historic driving forces are given in enough detail for the student to understand these issues. Like the colonisation of the Americas by the Europeans. Or the drive for female suffrage in Britain and the United States. Or the confluence of events that led to the Great War and the Second World War. Followed by the decolonisation throughout the world.
Customer Reviews:
For Novice Only.......2002-08-29
The book provides very little engineering data. Hobbits who are interested in playing with a model for fun may find the book amusing. Engineers who are interested in designing Stirling machines will find it useless.
General Overview of Stirling Engines with Examples.......2001-08-21
This compact little book provides a good general overview of Stirling Engine design and operation. It provides many illustrations which both explain the operation and provide examples of practical Stirling Engines. Dr. Senft also included a very brief description of the thermodynamic principles of these engines which includes an explaination of Carnot Efficiency. If you are looking for a mathmatical treatment or engineering text, look elsewhere; this book provides an interesting, easy to read high level introduction. I liked it but it could use a little more detail.
