Book Description
Traditionally the international economics course has primarily been aimed at students working on an economics major. Today, a broad range of courses in global economic issues and policies are drawing students from a number of disciplines, such as accounting, marketing, political science, and business. This well-known author team created Global Economic Issues and Policies to address the growing needs of students that might experience this subject for the first time. The goal of the text is to emphasize current public-policy issues, which will be used to illustrate essential concepts of international trade and finance. The authors focused their theoretical discussions by staying within the guidelines of the basic economic principles.
Book Description
Economics made clear and simple. That's the approach of ECONOMIC ISSUES AND POLICY WITH ECONOMIC APPLICATIONS. The author covers a wide range of current economic issues , including corporate greed and white collar crime, the 2002 Johannesburg environmental summit, the latest on welfare reform, Bush proposals for prescription drugs and partial privatization of social security, the 2002 Farm Bill, the ?No Child Left Behind Act?, recent court rulings on school vouchers and affirmative action in education, Bush tax policies and their impacts, current U.S. economic conditions including slower growth, war/defense expenditures, and the recent increase in unemployment. Viewpoint: Conservative vs. Liberal" sections in each chapter present diverse policy perspectives, providing a framework you can use to understand your own economic philosophy.
Customer Reviews:
Be careful..........2006-12-08
Be careful when buying this book used because you may just be buying the book and not the serial code to register for the online applications website. Purchase a serial number additionally costs about $14, so it's still cheaper than buying a new text.
Book Description
This book provides students with a grasp of basic economic tools through the analysis of important economic issues and their related policy perspectives. Economic theory is presented in a simple, market-oriented framework at a level of technicality that is deliberately appropriate for a basic first course in economics directed at non-majors. Complex topics more appropriate for a Principles of Economics course are left out or contained in appendices. In analyzing economic situations and the implications of policies, liberal and conservative viewpoints are effectively balanced -- the careful presentation of conservative and liberal viewpoints is one of the unique characteristics of this book.

Book Description
This
Handbook is a new comprehensive reference of the methodologies (field, laboratory and desk work) for using radionuclides, primarily
137Cs and
210Pb, to establish rates and spatial patterns of soil redistribution within the landscape and determine the geochronology of sediment deposits. It is based on the recent developments made by a global network of research scientists working on soil erosion and sedimentation research using environmental radionuclides.
Book Description
The excavation of St. Boniface Church, Papa Westray, Orkney (one of the most important Iron Age sites in Scotland) was undertaken due to serious coastal erosion and results reveal major shifts in its core function: from early ecclesiastical site to fish-processing station, to modern graveyard church.
Product Description
This is a ARMY AEROMEDICAL RESEARCH LAB FORT RUCKER AL report procured by the Pentagon and made available for public release. It has been reproduced in the best form available to the Pentagon. It is not spiral-bound, but rather assembled with Velobinding in a soft, white linen cover. The Storming Media report number is A684823. The abstract provided by the Pentagon follows: The opto-kinetic cervico reflex (OKCR) is a recently hypothesized visually driven reflex that serves to stabilize the image of the external horizon on the retina during high performance aircraft roll maneuvers. Although anecdotally reported as occurring, head tilt during helicopter flight has not been formally studied. Such research is required to determine the full impact and significance it may have on a rotary wing aviator's flying performance. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between horizon position and perception of orientation, and thus generate vital information to assess whether this reflex plays an important role in spatial disorientation. Twenty volunteer pilots participated in a UH-60 flight simulator study to examine the effects of this reflex. The results confirm that the OKCR occurs during simulated helicopter flight, both with and without night vision goggles. As with previous studies, head roll increased during flight under visual meteorological conditions in relation to increasing aircraft roll angle up to a maximum sustainable level and then remained constant. Head roll did not occur during flight under instrument meteorological conditions. Various aspects that impact rotary-wing operations are discussed, and recommendations made for future research.

Book Description
Soil degradation, a decline in soil quality due to anthropogenic perturbations, is a serious threat with negative impacts on agriculture and the environment. The assessment and monitoring of all forms of degradation is essential to the evaluation of negative trends and implementation of mitigating technologies. Soil Degradation in the United States: Extent, Severity, and Trends is an assessment of current trends and geographic hot spots. It not only describes the types of soil degradation, but also evaluates the processes and triggers that cause the damage. Written by world-renowned leaders in the field of soil science, the book is thematically divided into three sections: Section I addresses basic processes and discusses concepts and definitions, land use change, and global trends. Section II provides the data on soil degradation by various processes such as water and wind erosion, salt build-up, and soil contamination. Section III summarizes the magnitude and severity of degradation and addresses policy issues in relation to economic and environmental impact. Several appendices provide much needed information on past trends and future projections. This book is a state-of-the-art compendium that provides a ready reference and data source for soil scientists, agronomists, environmentalists, land managers, and policy makers.
