Frontiers of the New Institutional Economics
John N. Drobak , and John V.C. Nye Manufacturer: Academic Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0122222407 |
Book Description
The New Institutional Economics incorporates a theory of institutions into economics. It builds upon the fundamental assumptions of scarcity and competition but abandons institutional rationality. Consequently, NIE assumes that individuals make choices based on incomplete information and limited mental capacity, forming institutions to reduce uncertainty in human exchange. These insights have implications for technological change, property rights, and public choice. The Frontiers of the New Institutional Economics presents new essays written specifically for this volume. These essays Provide an introduction to the nature and practice of the New Institutional Economics, with a special emphasis on economic history and political economy. Among the contributors are Nobel Prize winners Douglass North and Robert Fogel.

Joha Lambsdorff Manufacturer: Routledge ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0415333687 |
Book Description
Corruption is an important phenomenon in the world today affecting a wide range of economies across the world. Measuring and explaining the effect of corruption is no easy task, yet this book sets about it with real vigor.

Glorious Eclipses: Their Past Present and Future
Serge Brunier , and Jean-Pierre Luminet Manufacturer: Cambridge University Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Hardcover Similar Items: ASIN: 0521791480 |
Book Description
Stargazers who may have missed the last total solar eclipse of the 20th century this past summer have just been given another chance to observe this "once in a lifetime" occurrence. Inside Glorious Eclipses they will find startling images and rich personal accounts that fully capture this event and other recent eclipses. The book will also insure that readers will not miss another eclipse in the next 60 years! Specially designed in a beautiful, large format, the volume portrays eclipses of all kinds--lunar, solar, and those occurring elsewhere in the Solar System and beyond. Brunier and Luminet have gathered together all aspects of eclipses, and carefully selected a host of lavish images. The authors detail the history of eclipses, the celestial mechanics involved, their observation, and scientific interest. Personal accounts of recent eclipses are also included as well as all relevant information about forthcoming eclipses up to 2060. Complete with NASA maps and data, Glorious Eclipses is the ultimate source for all those interested in these remarkable (and rare) celestial events. Serge Brunier is chief editor of the journal Ciel et Espace, a photo-journalist, and the author of many nonfiction books aimed at both specialists and the general public. Jean-Pierre Luminet is an astrophysicist at the Paris-Meudon Observatory and director of research at the Centre pour la Recherche Scientifique. He is the author of many popular astronomy books, including Black Holes (Cambridge University Press, 1992).Customer Reviews:
Beautiful eclipse photography.......2001-02-15
I haven't read the text yet, and so I can't comment on it, but the overall impression is that this book is a must-have for anybody interested in the beauty of total solar eclipses.

Data Analysis for Chemistry: An Introductory Guide for Students and Laboratory Scientists
D. Brynn Hibbert , and J. Justin Gooding Manufacturer: Oxford University Press, USA ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0195162110 |
Book Description
Chemical data analysis, with aspects of metrology in chemistry and chemometrics, is an evolving discipline where new and better ways of doing things are constantly being developed. This book makes data analysis simple by demystifying the language and whenever possible giving unambiguous ways of doing things. Based on author D. Brynn Hibberts lectures on data analysis to undergraduates and graduate students, Data Analysis for Chemistry covers topics including measurements, means and confidence intervals, hypothesis testing, analysis of variance, and calibration models. The end result is a compromise between recipes of how to perform different aspects of data analysis, and basic information on the background principles behind the recipes to be performed. An entry level book targeted at learning and teaching undergraduate data analysis, Data Analysis for Chemistry makes it easy for readers to find the information they are seeking to perform the data analysis they think they need.

DNA from A to Z
Daniel H. Farkas Manufacturer: AACC Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 1594250022 |
Book Description
DNA from A to Z is the latest edition of one of AACC's most popular books! Updated and with many new entries, the new edition reflects the many changes that have occurred in the field of DNA in the last five years, including the completion of the sequencing of the Human Genome. Illustrated with multiple photographs and images, this guide is a classic, easy-to-read reference that can serve as a foundation for further inquiry for professionals and the lay public alike, or stand alone. Here's what "Nature" said about the first edition, DNA Simplified: The Hitchhiker's Guide to DNA -- "Farkas has compiled a dictionary of the essential ingredients for understanding molecular genetics and biology. But this is not another monotonous glossary of specialist lingo. The jargon of DNA technology has been translated into simple dialogue and familiar analogies, stripped down to the bare essentials. The book is an entertaining read, with the science taking on a personality of its own. Of particular appeal to biomedical scientists, the book paces through state-of-the-art DNA technology applied to clinical diagnostics. It provides an impressive account of recent innovations, as well as fresh adaptations of traditional methods. The book is relevant to anyone from the specialist to the uninitiated."
