The Political Economy of American Monetary Policy

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Mayer, Thomas, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, This collection of essays examines the institutional framework in which monetary policy is made. The essays consider two questions: How free is the Fed to set monetary policy and to what extent do organizational problems affect the choice of that monetary policy? Topics covered include the Fed's response to movements on its goals, Congressional and presidential pressures on the Fed, the existence of political business cycles operating through monetary policy, and the extent to which monetary policy may be explained by the Fed's own interests. A final section examines the claim that the Federal Reserve follows countercyclical policy and evaluates its performance as a lender to banks both in normal times and as a lender of last resort.

Mikhail Bulgakov: A Critical Biography

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Milne, Lesley, PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, When it was published this was the full, post-glasnost critical biography of Mikhail Bulgakov (), a great comic writer whose works are regarded as modern classics. This account of Bulgakov's career as playwright and prose-writer examines all his works in the context of the changing demands put upon artists in the Soviet Union of the s and s, who were faced with the choice of integrity at the price of silence, or publication and production at the price of conformism with the totalitarian state. Lesley Milne traces through Bulgakov's career an ethical concept of the writer's role, his response to his time, and his search for an audience in and beyond that time.

Understanding Attitudes about War

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Brunk, Gregory G. / Tamashiro, Howard / Secrest, Donald, PUBLISHER: University of Pittsburgh Press, Choice Outstanding Academic Book Why have some traditional cold warriors opposed involvement in Iraq and the former Yugoslavia, while many vocal critics of the Vietnam war supported the use of U.S. forces in Somalia, Haiti, and the Balkans? What do these debates tell us about American attitudes toward the use of military force to achieve foreign policy goals? The authors examine the ethical and moral underpinnings of U.S. international relations by exploring the attitudes of decision makers and foreign policy elites toward war. Their unique contribution is to bring together the various doctrines in the literature and to characterize them using behavioral methodologies, in an attempt to bring normative questions back into the mainstream of political science.

Ten in the Morning

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Corbett, William, PUBLISHER: Pressed Wafer Press, Coble, Gerald. Ten in the Morning. Text by William Corbett. Poetry. Art. TEN IN THE MORNING presents an evocative grouping of reader responses. This tandem collection presents Willian Corbett's poems as a response to American artist Gerald Coble's collage, which, itself, comprises responses to writings by Proust, Whitman, Melville, Dickinson, and Thoreau, and to the actress Ava Gardner. Together, these responses remind readers of the possibility of personal readings of public figures. As Corbett writes in his introduction, "Proust, Whitman, Melville, Dickinson, and Thoreau sit firmly in the Western world's pantheon of writers." Perhaps, they sit so far above us that it is easy to forget that those of us who love their work have a personal relationship to it. "Coble's response is of such an individual character-long white gloves and a white thorn branch for Dickinson -that viewers will be spurred to remember their first and ongoing encounters with these generative writers"-William C

Make Noise - Zero Coast

Make Noise - Zero Coast Usato pochissimo e solo in home studio. ------- The 0-COAST is a single voice patchable synthesizer. It's name reflects the fact that it utilizes techniques from both the Moog and Buchla paradigms (aka "East Coast," and "West Coast," due to their locations), but is loyal to neither and thus implements "no coast synthesis." Using only the MIDI controller of your choice you could apply new timbres to your existing musical forms! Using the included Patch Cables you can get more scientific, experimenting with new ways to wire up the circuits. You might even forgo MIDI altogether, disappearing into a cloud of analog FM-induced Sidebands and harmonics scattered around a single fundamental drone that has nothing to do with any form of music you've ever known.

The Durham Report and British Policy: A Critical Essay

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Martin, GED / Martin, S.J., PUBLISHER: Cambridge University Press, In Lord Melbourne's Whig government in Britain sent the radical Lord Durham to Canada as Governor-General to deal with a colony in the aftermath of a rebellion. Durham's vanity and arrogance made him a poor choice for the post, and he resigned a few months later after the government had been forced to overrule him for exceeding his powers. After his return to Britain he wrote his Report on the Affairs of British North America - and its unauthorized publication in the Times caused a sensation. This report - the famous 'Durham Report' - has been seen as the starting point of the British tradition of colonial self-rule leading through the Statute of Westminster of to the independent self-governing Commonwealth of today.

Luke - Acts: Understanding the Books of the Bible Study

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Smith, Christopher R., PUBLISHER: Biblica Publishing, This study guide will take individuals or groups through Luke and Acts in 32 sessions that correspond with their natural parts. Readers will discover that these books are actually the two parts of a single story that tells how the community of Jesus followers began with his life and ministry and then spread around the world. The readings and discussion will help them recognize the ways God is still working today and how they can be part of what God is doing. The Understanding the Books of the Bible series helps readers understand the biblical story by not only talking about what the authors wrote, but also how they wrote. Quite often, recognizing whether a passage is poetry, proverb, or history and discerning how the author built his book will unlock its meaning for today's reader. Instead of following artificial chapter and verse divisions, these Bible study guides lead groups through whole books following their natural outlines, and pose engaging questions for discussion and personal application all along the way.
