      Book Description

      Consumer Behaviour is the first truly European consumer behaviour textbook, placing the subject clearly within its economic, psychological, sociological and historical context. The authors provide greater insight for readers by examining both the determinants and the consequences of consumer decision making. Antonides and Van Raaij include numerous examples, cases and sociodemographic data and provide complete coverage of core topics together with important new ones. Innovative chapters are included on:
      * financial behaviour

      * welfare, wellbeing and property

      * families and household production

      * consumption and the environment

      * shopping behaviour.
      The authors explore the full consumption cycle, not only the first stages of orientation and procurement, but also the usage and disposal of products. Consumer Behaviour is ideal for both undergraduate and postgraduate students. It will also benefit non-European students who need to gain a wider understanding of consumer behaviour. Marketers, market researchers, public relations officers and government officials dealing with consumer policy will also find it extremely useful.

          5 out of 5 stars silkworms in the 1st grade classroom.......2005-10-12

          Provides excellent background information for any teacher planning on doing a silkworm project. Pictures are excellent and parts of the book can be read to the class.

          5 out of 5 stars Great book for raising silkworms!!.......2005-08-26

          I bought this book to raise silkworms for my bearded dragon. I had no problems raising silkworms and in fact had way too many since I just had one bearded dragon!! Silkworms are amazing little creatures and I had fun raising them. I no longer do since my dragon is full grown and doesn't need the that much protein.

          5 out of 5 stars Silkworms are wonderful.......2001-05-27

          This book is the best book on teaching both young children and adults about silkworms. The photographs are wonderful!I use this book the most in school. The kids tend to pick this book up the most when I have the display of silkworms in the room.

          5 out of 5 stars Wonderful photos and detailed description.......1999-12-17

          I'm a Japanese and my hobby is making flowers from silk cocoon. Even though I deal many cocoons, it was my first time to see silkworms. Even in Japan, there is few opportunity to see real silkworms... This book tells me a lot about silkworms and silk farmers in Japan.

          5 out of 5 stars Excellent resource for teachers. Great photos!.......1998-04-11

          Amazing photos of silkworms and moths. Text explains the entire cycle from egg to silk, and shows modern silk farming in Japan. Highly recommended!

                          Book Description

                          This hard-hitting research report presents a rigorous critique of the most widely used trade models based on computable general equilibrium (CGE) models. The authors present concise analytical arguments explaining the fundamental weaknesses of typical CGE models. They show that these models tend to make unrealistic assumptions about the macro-economy and do not allow an accurate estimation of the welfare gains that trade liberalization is supposed to induce.

                          The report appeals for honest simulation strategies showing a variety of possible outcomes, which would enable policymakers to assess the different scenarios for themselves.

                            This volume contains a collection of peer-reviewed papers addressing durability and integrity of high-performance, high-strength and mass concrete by predicting and preventing the cracking due to thermal stresses and shrinkage at the early age. Papers describe some of the latest testing, modelling and controlling techniques for the prevention of damage in fresh concrete. Test results provide essential data on early age creep and shrinkage behavior of mass and reinforced concrete structures, as well as on material properties of young concrete.

                                          Book Description

                                          This book surveys recent theories of the structure of trade in the light of recent advances in applied econometrics. Unlike most existing literature, Imperfect Competition and International Commodity Trade concentrates on the major exports of developing rather than industrialized countries and
                                          a general theoretical framework is developed for commodity trade, its empirical validity is tested, and alternative trade policies are assessed. This study will be of particular significance to international trade economists, researchers in trade theory and relations, and econometricians.

                                            Book Description

                                            This book provides a comprehensive account of the theoretical structures, database, computation and application of ORANI-INT. ORANI-INT is a multi-period elaboration of ORANI, a well-known computable general equilibrium model of the Australian economy.The implications of assuming that expectations are model consistent are contrasted with those of the alternative assumption that expectations are static. A generic algorithm for solving a wide range of economic models is described in detail. The algorithm is portable because it is implemented in GEMPACK, a commercially available software package. The major application reported in the book addresses the issue whether tariff reform policies should be announced ahead of their implementation. Many of the multisectoral models used throughout the world are static. The methodology presented in the book demonstrates that such models can be easily embedded into an intertemporal framework.

Quantum theory represents a unifying theme within the book, as it relates to the topics of the nature of physical reality, cosmic inflation, the arrow of time, models of the universe, superstrings, quantum gravity and cosmology. Attempts to formulate a final unification theory of physics are also considered, along with the existence of hidden dimensions of space, hidden cosmic matter, and the strange world of quantum technology. John Archibald Wheeler is one of the most influential scientists of the twentieth century. His extraordinary career has spanned momentous advances in physics, from the birth of the nuclear age to the conception of the quantum computer. Famous for coining the term "black hole," Professor Wheeler helped lay the foundations for the rebirth of gravitation as a mainstream branch of science, triggering the explosive growth in astrophysics and cosmology that followed. His early contributions to physics include the S matrix, the theory of nuclear rotation (with Edward Teller), the theory of nuclear fission (with Niels Bohr), action-at-a-distance electrodynamics (with Richard Feynman), positrons as backward-in-time electrons, the universal Fermi interaction (with Jayme Tiomno), muonic atoms, and the collective model of the nucleus. His inimitable style of thinking, quirky wit, and love of the bizarre have inspired generations of physicists.

                                              5 out of 5 stars An inspiring book.......2007-09-03

                                              John Archibald Wheeler was born in Jacksonville, Florida in July of 1911. His parents were both librarians. Wheeler initially planned to major in electrical engineering but switched to theoretical physics. His first paper, on the band structure of the monoxides of Scandium, Yttrium, and Lanthinum, appeared when he was only 19. Wheeler obtained his Ph.D. from Johns Hopkins in 1933 (his thesis topic was the theory of the dispersion and absorption of helium). After a year at NYU, he spent a postdoctoral year (1934-5) with Niels Bohr in Copenhagen. In 1937, while at the University of North Carolina, he introduced the concept of the scattering matrix (called the "S-matrix"), a very useful tool for analyzing elementary particle events. In 1938 he became an assistant professor at Princeton, and soon advanced to a full professorship there. His graduate students included Richard Feynman and Kip Thorne. In 1976, Wheeler went to the University of Texas, where he spent ten years before returning to Princeton as a professor emeritus. In 2005, he still maintained his office in Princeton, on the wall of which hung a sweatshirt with the logo "Which part of quantum theory don't you understand?"

                                              One of Wheeler's ideas was geometrodynamics, in which the entire universe consisted of curved space-time. This led to some colorful comments by Wheeler, such as "Mass without Mass" and "Charge without Charge" (as well some replies such as "Equations without Solutions" and "Theories without Content"). Was there really no matter in the universe? Or didn't it really matter? In any case, the failure of geometrodynamics to explain the existence of fermions or of gravitational singularities eventually got Wheeler to abandon this idea.

                                              Richard Feynman said that Wheeler once told him a possible explanation of why all electrons had the same mass and charge. It was because they were all the same electron! That very busy electron would travel backwards and forwards in time and show up all over the place! Feynman, not surprisingly, asked where the time-reversed electrons (namely, the positrons) would be, leaving Wheeler to wonder if they could be hidden in the nuclei somehow. Still, the idea of the time-reversed electrons became the core of the Feynman diagrams which are used in quantum electrodynamics.

                                              Many people have been inspired by Wheeler's advice, including comments such as "Never make a calculation until you know the answer." That is, you have to make an estimate or at least a guess before you really get started on a derivation. In addition, he's often asked fundamental questions, including "How come existence?" and "How come the quantum?"

                                              A book called "Magic without Magic" honored Wheeler's sixtieth birthday. This book honors Wheeler's ninetieth birthday. It includes papers on quantum reality, cosmology, and other favorite topics of his. Many of the papers are, um, highly speculative, but they are on exciting topics and I feel they are all worthwhile and, of course, appropriate.

                                              As far as quantum reality is concerned, Wheeler and I may have, um, slightly different perspectives. Wheeler, after all, studied with Bohr. I am convinced that quantum mechanics is (and should be considered to be) a local theory, in which measurement plays no fundamental role. That's not quite what we see in some of the papers in this volume.

                                              Lucien Hardy has a fine paper on why nature is described by quantum theory, in which he discusses the issue of continuity versus discreteness. It reminded me of Paul Dirac's book on quantum mechanics, in which Dirac said that the need for quantum mechanics could be seen from general philosophical principles: without it there would never be a point where we could deal with an ultimate structure of matter as size would always be relative. In his paper, Freeman Dyson tells us that "everything in the future is a wave, everything in the past is a particle." David Deutsch says that while it does no good to hypothesize that the world is "made of information," it can be made of qubits, which are "unequivocally multiversal objects." And there are many other fine papers on quantum reality, including those by Dieter Zeh, Wojciech Zurek, Juan Paz, Juan Maldacena, Bryce DeWitt (on the Everett many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics).

                                              The cosmology papers are simply wild. John Barrow wonders about yet another big question: are our constants constant? It reminds me of when Paul Dirac looked at whether the gravitational constant might be getting smaller with time, only to have Edward Teller point out that it couldn't be getting smaller too fast, or the Sun would have been too luminous for the dinosaurs to have existed. Maybe the most speculative of these papers is Max Tegmark's, on parallel universes, and I do think this paper could, um, use much more work.

                                              I truly enjoyed this fine book and all the papers in it.

                                              3 out of 5 stars A pricey curate's egg.......2005-04-13

                                              I was tempted to give only two stars because the book is rather pricey for a collection of articles most of which are freely downloadable from the internet, sometimes in greater depth or detail. However, on their own merits, these are a mixed bag of articles of varying quality that have been roped together to celebrate J.A.Wheelers seminal influence.
                                              Some of the chapters are quite good as far as they go, and roughly speaking the first half of the book on quantum reality is by far the best, after which the standard drops off somewhat. There is quite a bit of whacky nonsense in the latter half, amongst the worst of which is Max Tegmark's loony multiverse chapter which packs in more misinformation, non-sequiturs, faulty logic and sloppy reasoning per paragraph than any piece I have ever come across before purporting to be physics.
                                              Overall, fairly interesting and stimulating but so is browsing the internet where most of this and much more can be found.

                                              4 out of 5 stars nice overview (review by a physicist).......2005-02-02

                                              well written, although sometimes complex, chapters basically covering the state-of-the-art in cosmology by numerous physics luminaries. I totally disagree with other reviewers assertions that this is a "stealth" creationist tome...since the vast majority of the authors have only presented what is empirical assertions/hypothesis backed up by the latest mathmatics and data, to this point; and many of the authors have no creationist leanings what-so-ever....and BTW, who cares who funds it?...I enjoyed this book.

                                              3 out of 5 stars Stealth creationist tome???.......2004-10-22

                                              The fact that the science credentials of the contributors to this book are/were impeccable makes this book worth checking out. My question is why at no point in either the reviews or publicity of this book is it not exposed that not only is this book the product of a symposium arranged and paid for by the Templeton Foundation but one editor is a Templeton Foundation employee and another is a Templeton science award winner. While the former should make you want to check out a library copy the latter should be considered before a prospective purchase.
