The Making of United States International Economic Policy: Principles, Problems, and Proposals for Reform Fifth Edition

ASIN: 0275965031 |
Book Description
As the globalization of economic production reshapes domestic economic activity and redefines the substance of international politics, the importance of international economic policy is becoming more widely appreciated. This book is a revised and updated edition of the definitive study of the decision-making process in all sectors--trade, finance, development, and energy--of U.S. international economic policy. Students and practitioners of economics and political science will find it invaluable in understanding how process affects substance in some of the most far-reaching policies being made in Washington. Straddling two of the nation's highest priorities--economic prosperity and national security--international economic policy necessitates continuous trade-offs from conflicting perspectives, making organization and procedure inherently significant determinants of a critically important policy. Opening with an explanation of the complex nature of the policy and its importance in political and economic terms, the book then examines the identities, responsibilities, attitudes, constituents, and institutional cultures of the executive branch, Congress, and interest groups involved in the formulation and conduct of policy. After considering the hardware of policymaking, the volume examines the major theories and decision-making models. It then focuses on the delicate relationship between the administration and Congress, illustrated by three case studies. In conclusion, the work assesses the strengths and weaknesses of the current policymaking process and offers recommendations for improvement.

Applications and Systematics of Bacillus and Relatives
Paul De Vos , Marc Heyndrickx , and Niall Logan Manufacturer: Blackwell Publishing Limited ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover ASIN: 0632057580 |
Book Description
Inspired by the pace of change in the taxonomy of the aerobic endospore-forming bacteria, the Bacillus 2000 symposium on which this book is based was held in Bruges, Belgium, in August 2000, and was supported by the Federation of European Microbiological Societies, the Belgian Society for Microbiology, and several commercial sponsors. Bringing taxonomists interested in Bacillus and its relatives together with people who work with these organisms in medicine, agriculture, and industry, allowed those attending to appreciate the overlaps and interactions of their areas of expertise, in the absence of any comprehensive treatment of the current systematics of the group.The meeting was a great success, and has resulted in the production of these proceedings, Applications and Systematics of Bacillus and Relatives, providing an up-to-date and comprehensive treatise on the classification, identification and applications of the aerobic endospore-forming bacteria; it is an essential reference for all microbiologists interested in these organisms.

A realistic look at changes in one rural American town........1999-01-08
His chapters on what life is like on a ranch, what it is like for an outsider to try to find acceptance in a community like Ridgeway, what the frustrations are and what are the real joys would be enough to make this book well worth the reading for anyone who wants to know about life in a small town in the American West at the turn of our century. But there is much more.
Decker has woven the land, the history, the people and the present into a gem of a book. The issues of how rural people with their values are affected when the migration pattern of countryside to city are reversed can be applied to small towns all over the country. Decker does not offer solutions but his clear-eyed warmth and his understanding of people, the strengths and their failings makes fascinating reading.

Debunking the myths.......2004-10-21
Skewed point of view.......2004-01-02
This book purports to describe the history, all too briefly, of Gaelic-speaking clans. There are errors in the spelling of almost every Gaelic word in the book. One wonders why the writers couldn't have found their way to the Department of Celtic in one of the Scottish universities.
In my opinion the word 'clan' should be used to describe Gaelic-speaking families as it is a loan word from Gaelic 'clann' meaning 'children' or descendants'. Lowland kin groups (non Gaelic-speaking) should be called 'families'.
Another "potted clan history", an inadequate attempt to describe the histories of many families in too little space with too much of an emphasis on a foreign element - heraldry. People wanting to learn something about the Scottish Highlands would be better off buying a history of the highlands such as Grant and Cheape's "Periods in Scottish History" and individual volumes on particular clans.
A good resource, but not great!.......2003-12-26
Do not purchase this book thinking it is the authoritative work on Scottish clans and families - it is not. Perhaps some corrections will be made in future editions?
Regardless, it is worth the price of admission but barely!
Excellent reference work.......2002-10-28
Now to the inside...two pages are dedicated to most Clans, showing excellent colour pictures of the tartan. It also lists the Clan's arms, crest, motto. It give a better than average history of each Clan, which takes up the first 2/3s of the book. The later part takes up the Armigerous Clans, many of these are often left out of works in most Clan and Tartan reference works, so this is definitely a plus. In Appendix 1 they give you a good Chronology of dates of importance in Scottish History. For a timeline, it's better than most I have been in works similar to this. Appendix 2 gives Scottish Monarchs for Kenneth I to the Union of Parliaments in 1707. Appendix 3 is a very nice glossary of Heraldic Terms - was very impressed with this section. Appendix 4 for gives septs and names associated with various Clans. I have seen this in other works, and again, this one is much better. Appendix 5 will be of special interests to people tracing their family treat as his gives you information concerning tracing genealogy in Scotland. There is an Index, with excellent fonts, so easy to read.
All in all worthy, quick reference for the Clans of Scotland.
A Good Companion to other Scottish Clan Books.......2002-02-21
Additionally this book wants in explaining exactly what The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs is - it is a private association of certain chiefs, and omits from its membership some "officially' recognized chiefs of Scottish clans. The book may give the uniformed reader the impression that the `Council' somehow helps The Court of the Lord Lyon make determinations on who is or is not the Chief of a Clan or Head of a Family. There is a blurring of the facts here. The Court of the Lord Lyon is the only authority in Scotland who may ratify and confirm Chiefs. The Lord Lyon signature on papers known as Letter Patent and on the Matriculation document, amounts to the Queen's signature ratifying the Chief of a Clan or Family. Only Lyon's signature and Seal of Office on such official state documents makes a Chief a Chief. That there is an omission of certain Chiefs and their clans from the work is obvious.
The index of names and clan associations is also lacking. There are many Scottish surnames which have clan or family associations which are not to found within the pages of this work. Likewise there are Scottish surnames which have no clan associations at all, and some names which have no tartans associated with them whatever.
Much of the History and Heraldry contained in the book is well done, there is no denying this. The Heraldry in particular is one of the better features, and there is likely no other book on the market which shows the richness and brilliance of Scots Heraldry. The banners, standards and clan crests badges of the Members of the Standing Council are well done, but for the Armigerous clans and families at the rear of the book, their herldry, history and accuracy is very lacking indeed. In fact, some families or clans are not mentioned at all.
While this book is certainly NOT a Clan Bible, it makes a good companion for other such books. It is still a good source of reference, and a must have for anyone interested in Scotland's colorful past as well as learning about the presence of the clans as they exist today.
