First published in 1999, this volume, the first to be published in on Jubilee 2000, describes the plight of 52 of the poorest nations in the world and puts in detail the case for radical cancellation of past inert debt. The cost and benefit of this remission and the groundbreaking concordat of peoples and governments that could accompany it are examined in detail. It contains critiques of the economic bases of the World Bank and IMF approaches to debt management in developing economies, as manifested in structural adjustment programmes and their maintenance, misuse of excess reserves and the methods used to carry out restructuring and development projects. The British anti-slavery campaign saw a mobilisation of public opinion for a great cause. Using this as a source of inspiration, public opinion must again be mobilised for what amounts to the greatest opportunity for justice, compassion and forgiveness facing us all at the beginning of a new millennium.

In "Is it Well with Your Soul?" Pastor Bill Peters shares from his message's thoughts and ideas along with Scripture that are intended to lift your spirits. In These troubling times, it is easy to get down, to feel depressed and alone, even in a crowd. Negativity on the television and on Social Media can also lead to feelings of anxiety. It is hoped that this book will lift your spirits and show you how faith in Jesus can strengthen you if you are a believer or change your life if you are not a believer but are seeking a better way.

". . . Bill Peters belongs in the ranks of serious literary artists."--New York Times Book Review, Editor's Choice "By turns funny and moving, this debut richly captures life in a decaying American city."--Publishers Weekly "There were times, while reading Maverick Jetpants, I thought: This isn't a book. It's a panic attack. In a good way. In the way where everything about it is frantic and urgent."--Necessary Fiction "A complex and inventive debut, innovative with language and delightfully unique."--Largehearted Boy "Peters has done something just this side of insane with this book; he's created a character that speaks in a voice everyone will recognize, even while half the words he says allude to things none of us were part of."--Bookslut "Peters proves himself adept at wordplay through the wildly inventive language of the characters."--The Coffin Factory "One of the most inventive novels published this year."--The Los Angeles Review "Maverick Jetpants in the City of Quality is Peters' energetic novelistic response to . . . the universal passage from adolescence to adulthood, the impermanence of friendship and familiar landscapes. . . Readers looking for a story about the slippery transition from silliness to sincerity will find in Maverick Jetpants a style to savor and get lost in."--HTML Giant "Maverick Jetpants in the City of Quality announces the arrival of a powerful and innovative young voice in American fiction."--Literate Man "They aren't necessarily found in a prime spot in every writer's toolbox, but fictional private languages can be evocatively effective when used well. Bill Peters's novel Maverick Jetpants in the City of Quality is one example of this."--Vol. 1 Brooklyn "With all the elements of the best coming-of-age novels, Maverick Jetpants offers a voice and a story that could connect with someone of just about any age, as long as they have the appreciation for nimble, far out, and witty repartee."--ForeWord Reviews "Full of madcap energy, swagger, and brinksmanship."--Fiona Maazel, author of Last, Last Chance "Do you want laughter, suffering, and friendship, Rochester-style? Do you want to marinate in raucous sadness? I know you do. So be ready, everybody. Here comes the Vomit Cruiser to rescue your sense of humor, and Bill Peters to rescue your heart."--Sam Lipsyte, author of Homeland and Venus Drive Rochester, New York, 1999: An arsonist is loose on the streets of a city in decline. Gone are the days of Rioting in the Vomit Cruiser, searching for a possible Tokyo Rocking Horse. In this hilarious, wildly original debut novel, Nathan Gray and best friend Necro live by the code of Joke Royalty, a system of in-jokes known only to a select few. But as the reality of full-time employment, possible spouses, and Neo-Nazis encroaches, their friendship unravels, threatening their dreams of becoming Kodak Park Winjas. Among the gravest Hellstacheries: Necro's strangely vicious drawings and his sudden interest in a group of weapons enthusiasts who may or may not be responsible for the fires erupting through downtown. With no Holy Grail Points left to his name, Nate ventures into Rochester's strangest corners to find out if his best friend is a domestic terrorist Pinning Bow Ties on the Dead or simply Maverick Jetpantsing on with his life--perhaps even beyond The City of Quality. Bill Peters grew up in Rochester, New York, and has received fiction fellowships from the Massachusetts Cultural Council and the University of Massachusetts. He works as a copy editor for the New York Times News Service, the wire service for the New York Times, and lives in Gainesville, Florida. This is his first novel.

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a structured technique for dealing with complex decisions. Rather than prescribing a "correct" decision, the AHP helps decision-makers find one that best suits their goal and their understanding of the problem - it formalises a method for making decisions that people are already intuitively trying to apply mentally. This book introduces AHP, and a further development, which called Analytic Network Process (ANP). A case study is given to show how ANP can be applied, together with a short tutorial on a software tool, Superdecision, which can be used to implement the ANP.

This book spans several disciplines, bringing together elements of mathematics, computing, psychology, finance, and artificial intelligence. Using an agent-based approach, I have developed a comprehensive model which is used to model and predict financial contagion. The innovative feature of my approach may be the application of Sigmund Freud's structural model of the psyche. By investigating the neurosis mechanism as it applies to participants in financial markets, I analyze, in detail, the destructive impact of the herding effect.
