Book Description

Selections from great writings on economics, annotated and introduced by a distinguished economist and teacher. Author of The Worldly Philosophers, a 3-million-copy seller, Robert Heilbroner offers here a compendium of readings from the "worldly philosophers" themselves. The selections range from the earliest economic thought to such towering volumes as Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations, Thomas Malthus's Essay on the Principle of Population, David Ricardo's Principles of Political Economy, and John Maynard Keynes's The General Theory of Employment, Interest, and Money. Acting as "a docent, not merely an editor," he takes the reader through the core arguments with "brilliantly clear commentary" (New York Times Book Review).

5 out of 5 stars Teachings of a brilliant teacher.......2004-12-14

With a few excerpts from the works of the most important economic thinkers in history, Robert Heilbroner gives his readers a perfect overview of the evolution in economic thought, from theorization to calculation and from prices to employment.

The excerpts are superb. Even for those who read some or most of the quoted works, there is the flavour of the author's own concise and highly perceptive comments.
Hereafter a few excerpts of the excerpts:
B. Mandeville: Thus every Part was full of Vice, Yet the whole Mass was Paradise.
A. Smith: Civil government is in reality instituted for the defence of the rich against the poor.
and the author himself: Wealth has always been a proxy for power.

Heilbroner is always also focused on the 'Veil of Economics' (the title of one of his highly recommendable books), because for him economics is inextricably socio-political.
His comments show us that 'the engines of history do not draw all their energies from economic drives and institutions'.
He regrets the actual sorry state of the economic profession dominated by abstract-minded theorists without social concern.
His last plea is for a rekindling of the tradition of political economy.

This book contains a perfect and highly useful index.
A great book composed and written by a superb free mind.

5 out of 5 stars A Great Tour of the History of Economic Thought.......1999-10-05

Heilbroner takes us through the entire world of economics from beginning to end, and he acts as our procter. He allows us to read the original words of the economists, along with his own helpful commentaries, and this leads to a clear understanding of the entire history of economics.

5 out of 5 stars Excellent overview of the top 20 economic minds in the past........1997-01-10

Some people may have met Robert Heilbroner through his first (1953) book, an introduction to economic thought, The Worldly Philosophers, still used in many economics courses. He has returned after more than twenty other books and over forty years of active participation in the public debate to the task of rekindling "...a new interest in political economy...a mode of economic inquiry whose analytical conclusions started from an effort to take full cognizance of the sociopolitical realities of our time, whatever the difficulties they may pose for the construction of elegant models."(p.336) His approach in Teachings is a combination of excellent "reviews" and "annotations" with long excerpts from the political economists of the past who he feels have contributed the most to our understanding of society. With little apology he has included only Thorstein Veblen, John Maynard Keynes and Joseph Schumpeter from the twentieth century. This "deficiency" is more than made up by his critical appraisal (with William Milberg) of the economics profession since the early 1960s in his recent book, The Crisis of Vision in Modern Economic Thought (Cambridge University Press, 1995, 128 pages) Robert Heilbroner states one of his objectives as "presenting an overview... a book that could actually be read, and not one destined for more or less permanent shelving". He has certainly accomplished this by first picking the "pivotal figures" that set the "historic trajectory" of what today we call economics. By placing each of the twenty in context with cogent comments he then uses their own words to highlight their contributions. (This book will do a lot for the reading and re-reading of the original classics as well.) Of equal interest is the unfolding of the evolution of political economy, concerned about the fate of the sociopolitical strata in the eighteenth century (landowners, labourers, and employers) to the science-like discipline of economics, focused on faceless individual behavior and sterile firms in the nineteenth century. Only with the Great Depression did we see with Keynes a return to the pressing social concerns of the day. Who should read this book? € Anyone thinking about becoming an economist. If you find this book interesting and challenging, join up since we need more like you. € Students and teachers of economics. This book will help broaden your vision, as well as providing many topics for discussion. € Harried bureaucrats. Here is a book that recognizes the value of government, with each of the greats holding forth on the key roles of government, lest we forget. € Citizens and voters. Don't believe that nothing can be done and that policy makers are impotent, in spite of their claims. When you review the challenges of the past and the manner in which we moved forward in economic policy then you will demand better policy now. Teachings from the Worldly Philosophy is divided into seven parts, with the Bible, Aristotle, and St.Thomas Aquinas covered in the short first part, Earliest Economic Thought. The second part, The Commercial Revolution, examines the contributions of Mandeville, Mun, Cantillon, Quesnay, and Turgot during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The Classical Economists-- Adam Smith, Thomas Malthus, David Ricardo, and John Stuart Mill -- constitute the lengthy third part. Heilbroner delights in introducing the "real" Adam Smith, not the one so revered by the right-wing demagogues today. Karl Marx has a section of his own, appropriately without a label. Heilbroner holds him high among the worldly philosophers and comments on the recent apparent demise of socialism with this thought; " If socialism failed, it was for political, more than economic reasons; and if capitalism is to succeed it will be because it finds the political will and means to tame its economic forces."(p.195) The fifth part, The Marginalists, focuses on the nineteenth century economists Jeremy Bentham, William Stanley Jevons, Léon Walras, and Alfred Marshall. All turn away from the broad social issues to the specifics of price determination or microeconomics. In the sixth part Thorstein Veblen, John Maynard Keynes, and Joseph Schumpeter "speak" for the twentieth century: Veblen with some derision of the foibles of economics, Schumpeter with his insights on the processes of innovation, and Keynes with his new vision of income determination, the role of saving and investment, and the potential for government action to restore full employment. The final part develops Heilbroner's concern that today's economics is not up to the challenge of dealing with the emerging pressures from technology, international financial markets, ecological threats, and political instability. He calls for a re-invigoration of economics by adopting a vision that recognizes the full social and political realities of our time. The Teachings helps by showing what political economy has been in the past, while The Crisis... explains more specifically what needs to be done now.

    Book Description

    This book is a practical guide to the development and use of selection procedures for those who are concerned with human resource management, but who are not necessarily specialists in personnel testing. Dr. Barrett explains how to improve the quality of the work force with the most modern techniques while avoiding unfair discrimination against minorities, women, older workers, and the disabled. He challenges myths that have grown up in the past 30 years which interfere with the use of valid and fair selection procedures. Topics include: historical and legal background, cognitive and non-cognitive selection procedures, validity, and measuring and reducing adverse impact. Although he concentrates on Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, there is special treatment of the Americans with Disabilities Act and the Age of Discrimination in Employment Act. Clearly written and informal, this book is every bit as professionally sound as his earlier book, Fair Employment Strategies in Human Resource Management. It removes part of the mystique about tests with many illustrations of good and bad practice. Besides being useful to human resource executives, it is a valuable supplementary text for graduate and undergraduate courses in personnel management. Attorneys would also find it especially valuable because the author documents its point with citations to important cases and the the Uniform Guidelines.

    We deal with legal issues in promotional testing and fair employment. Dr. Richard S. Barrett (not to be confused with another lesser tester, Gerald Barrrett) has put employment testing into wonderful perspective, blowing through the myths and mystique that Industrial-Organizational Psychology has wrapped itself in while dominating testing in employment for decades. Richard Barrett astutely attacks some of the ways testers (either through sloppiness or cost-cutting) write and conduct impaired examinations with adverse impact against minorities, then defend them for hundreds of thousands of $$ in "expert witness fees." Richard Barrett, who also worked on the EEOC guidelines and testified in the seminal disparate impact cases, shows the right way examinations should be done. Excellent, small (just a few hundred pages, like a summation), and very readable book.

      Book Description

      An excellent knowledge base in soil and water chemistry -the ideal basic text for students of the environmental sciences
      In Environmental Soil and Water Chemistry, leading soil and water authority V. P. Evangelou presents a complete overview of the principles and applications of soil science, addressing the subject by viewing the interactions between soil and water as a basis for understanding the nature, extent, and treatment of polluted soil and water. The text opens with a discussion of principles-the fundamental tenets of chemistry needed to understand soil and water quality and treatment of polluted resources-and continues with a look at applications for the control and treatment of soil and water. Suitable for advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students, this extensive, timely volume covers:
      * Water chemistry and mineral solubility; soil minerals and surface chemical properties and their behavior; and electrochemistry and kinetics
      * The control of agricultural chemical pollution and land disturbance pollution; colloids and transport processes in soils; and technologies for measuring quality and executing treatment
      * Specific chemical contaminants and the procedures for their neutralization
      In a world where chemical pollutants pose a grave threat to the earth's natural resources, Environmental Soil and Water Chemistry offers students both an excellent textbook and a handy reference on the wide spectrum of environmental problems they will confront outside the classroom.

      4 out of 5 stars Contains fundamental principles in soil-water chemistry.......2002-01-03

      This book covers wide aspects in the field of soil-water chemistry. The topics are covered amazingly in a very smooth manner and serves as a good reference for college seniors and beginning graduate students in environmental sciences. The book covers most of important fundamental principles in soil-water chemistry. The sections are full with displays and tables, and problems, which I found it very helpful. Despite the complexcity of this topic, the author deserves a lot of credits for writing such a great book. I strongly recommend this book.

          Book Description

          In landfilling technology, it is accepted that the soil substrate underlying the landfill can be used as a physical and chemical buffer (i.e. to accumulate and attenuate contaminant leachates emanating from the waste pile). This places a great responsiblity on the landfill constructor to determine correctly the capability of the soil substrate to perform its buffering funtions. This book covers the physico-chemical processes which control the transport of aqueous and nonaqueous phase liquids in soils, and aims to provide a viable and reliable transport model for accurate forecasting of transport performance of contaminant plume for the time period of concern.

                          4 out of 5 stars How and when to fish.......2007-10-15

                          I found the booklet "Saltwater Fishing..." very informative for my fishing needs. Thank you

                          4 out of 5 stars excellent.......2007-08-23

                          as a beginner to surf fishing, this book was very helpful. It gave me insight into the specifics of knots, rigs and knowing when to fish. I immediately took some of my new knowledge to the beach and felt better prepared

                          1 out of 5 stars WEAK!.......2006-08-03

                          This book is pretty weak... I guess the price should have been a dead giveaway!

                          3 out of 5 stars Good book for your tackle box.......2006-03-08

                          I bought this 64-page 6"x9" booklet mainly to keep in my tackle box. It has figures of basic knots. It talks about how and when to set up baits,lures and rigs under various conditions. It also gives techniques when fishing from jetties, banks, inshore, offshore, bridges, canals, etc. It's really handy if you are not having a particularly good fishing day and you want to move or change bait. I would have rated it a 4-star, except that it is a 1992 book, and the information on tackle and rigging is generically informative, but specifically just too old. The techniques info is just fine though. I'd recommend it only as a reference booklet.

                          Book Description

                          Weddings can be traumatic or transporting, depending on many factors, some of which are beyond the control of the bride and bridegroom. But one area which they can control is the ceremony itself. This newly designed bestselling guide offers hundreds of suggested texts, vows, poems, consecrations, readings, and more to help couples create a wedding that is personal and meaningful. It even offers five complete ceremonies, including one for the previously married, one celebrating the joy of finding a soul mate, and one focusing on spiritual commitment. With selections from Pablo Neruda, Shakespeare, e. e. cummings, Rainer Maria Rilke, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Weddings from the Heart offers a reassuring array of possibilities for making that special day truly special.

                          2 out of 5 stars Just OK...........2007-09-14

                          Weddings from the Heart was just OK...I'm planning a wedding and looking for different ideas for vows and readings - and this book just wasnt' for me. I earmarked a few pages - but not many. One book that was INCREDIBLE was "the knot guide to weddings vows and traditions"! Great book with TONS of ideas - i earmarked a TON of pages here. I was reluctant to get it at first just b/c it was "the knot" - even though they are the so called "wedding guru's"...you know....I just thought others might have other insightful advice....well, not so...trust me - save your money and just go buy the knot's guide - it was the best! (at least for me!)

                          5 out of 5 stars Excellent guide for writing your own personal, meaningful ceremony.......2006-03-03

                          Ms. Kingma gives engaged couples excellent advice and options over the traditional ceremonies. She includes examples for divorced couples, couples with children, couples who want to honor other family members and friends, even couples who have been through abuse and addictions to find love. Also given are wedding traditions and readings from around the world that brides and grooms can incorporate into their personally tailored ceremony.

                          If you truly want a wedding from your heart, with vows that truly bind, then this book is for you. The suggested ceremonies can be tinkered with and tailored to your taste and honor your personal beliefs. Thanks, Ms. Kingma, for reading the hearts of engaged couples everywhere! We're using this book for our own wedding this year, and I just can't praise it enough.

                          5 out of 5 stars More than words can say ... Kingma is king of vows!.......2005-03-10

                          I plan to elope and have never wanted to say the standard religious vows from my Roman Catholic childhood. Kingma is a master of words. Capturing love is not easy. Saying the most with the least is the magic. Bring illumination into your personal ceremony with Daphne's wisdom. Better yet, consider having her as your marriage officiant.

                          3 out of 5 stars Okay, depending on what you want.......2003-10-06

                          Most of this book was irrelevant for what I wanted. I was looking for a source for religiously-oriented vows, prayers, and blessings which I could use to create an ecumenical wedding service. This book DOES have a section of such things --and I did find it useful for comparison purposes-- but the main emphasis is on contemporary vows, addresses, etc., most of which seemed just too fluffy for me. If you do want very emotionally-laden, "unique to you" and non-traditional wedding, go for this. If you seriously want to compare weddings from different Judeo-Christian traditions, I highly recommend _Weddings: A Complete Guide to All Religious and Interfaith Marriage Services_ instead.

                          4 out of 5 stars A great tool for getting ideas for your ceremony.......2003-01-03

                          My partner and I combed through this book learning the history and meaning of different kinds of ceremonies which really helped us as we wrote our own. I am not a specifically religious person so it was helpful learning the background behind the different parts of traditional ceremonies (invocation, vows, etc) as well as seeing how different folks (pagan, recovery) have created their own ceremonies. I actually found these sections a bit cheesy, but it was still a useful book in all.
