Economic Methodology explores the status and character of economics as a social science and introduces students to philosophical issues underlying modern science. Approaching the subject as philosophy of science for economists, the authors use the historical developments in philosophy of science to frame this introduction to the field of economic methodology. By doing this they strengthen students' understanding of economics as a science to enhance their reasoning skills, introducing them to the wider philosophical issues surrounding our understanding of the area.

In 2011, adventurer and conservationist John Davis Walked, cycled, skied, canoed, and kayaked on an epic 10-month, 7,600-mile journey that took him from the keys of Florida to a remote seashore in northeastern Quebec. Davis was motivated by a dream: to see a continent-long corridor conserved for wildlife in the eastern United States, especially for the large carnivores so critical to the health of the land. In Big, Wild, and Connected, we travel the Eastern Wildway with Davis, viscerally experiencing the challenges Iarge carnivores, with their need for vast territories, face in an ongoing search for food, water, shelter, and mates. On his self-propelled journey, Davis explores the wetlands, forests, and peaks that are the last strongholds for wildlife in the East. This includes strategically important segments of disturbed landscapes, from longleaf pine savanna in the Florida Panhandle to road-latticed woods of Pennsylvania. Despite the challenges, Davis argues that creation of an Eastern Wildway is within our reach and would serve as a powerful symbol of our natural and cultural heritage. Big, Wild, and Connected reveals Eastern landscapes through wild eyes, a reminder that, for the creatures with which we share the land, movement is as essential to life as air, Water, and food. Davis' journey shows that a big, wild, and connected network of untamed places is the surest way to ensure wildlife survival through the coming Centuries.

What were the unifying principles or strategies that governed the protest movements that swept the Middle East and North Africa in the spring of 2011? Who were the protestors and how did the different authoritarian regimes respond to them? How did regional and international institutions react to a region in turmoil? The Arab Spring and Arab Thaw; Unfinished Revolutions and the Quest for Democracy addresses these questions by examining a range of successful and unsuccessful protest strategies and counter revolutionary tactics employed by protestors and autocratic regimes. Contributors explore the reactions of the USA, EU and Arab League to events in the region and provide insight as to the gendered dimensions of the struggle along with the ethnic and tribal divisions that continue to impact the post-revolt period. By addressing these critical queries the book demonstrate how the Arab Spring has evolved into a protracted Arab Thaw that continues to profoundly affect regional and international politics.

Must Britain sink from riches to rags in two generations? Must we pursue indiscriminate growth through unlimited consumption? The essential purpose of economic development and discriminating growth should be to enable all people to live fulfilled lives, and that objective can only be achieved through appropriate technologies, institutions and legislation. This book's message is hopeful: it is about the 'real economy' of a rapidly increasing world population, of limited and maldistributed resources that are in many instances non-renewable - and a world of people with an amazing range of skills, talents and needs. As Though People Mattered tells what is actually happening today, in Britain, in the move towards a sustainable world of strong local communities, abundant small-scale enterprise and the 'conserver' society. Small is happening! First published in 1986, this revised limited edition has been commissioned to highlight the continuing relevance of the central message of this book.

Merriam Press World War 2 History Series The late John Davis, with Anne Riffenburgh, tells John's story of being a scout with the 106th Infantry Division from the Battle of the Bulge through the push into Germany and beyond. The year is 1941. John Davis is a brash young man reveling in the sights and sounds of Los Angeles-not a bad fate for a country boy from Colorado who grew up hardscrabble during the Great Depression. An ocean away, life is far less rosy for those living in the shadow of war. John has heard all about this tyrant named Hitler, with his clipped mustache and staccato bark, who seems to have mesmerized the German people and is threatening an entire continent. A nasty business to be sure, but John is pretty certain that none of it is going to touch him. On December 7, 1941, the Japanese launch their infamous sneak attack on Pearl Harbor, and all bets are off. Swept up in a surge of anger and patriotism, John joins the Army, undergoes three years of training, and in the fall of 1944, becomes part of the 106th Division-the last division to be made and the youngest division ever to go overseas. His plan for survival is simple: he will watch out for his own rear end and nobody else's. On the morning of December 16, 1944, John "Davy" Davis and 100 fellow soldiers head toward an area in Belgium called the Schnee Eifel, to face off with the Germans and take part in searing action that will eventually be known as the Battle of the Bulge. If John could know what is coming, he might be filled with dread. Instead he feels a burning need to get down to business. "I had spent nearly three years getting to this time, this place, and this moment in history. Along the way, a vengeful stew had simmered inside me, made up of ingredients that most people considered liabilities: anger, arrogance, and a primal desire to kick some ass. But the universe had flipped, and I sensed that these qualities had the potential to serve as assets, maybe even talismans. "'Don't take any crap, ' my father had admonished long ago. 'To my warrior son, ' my mother had written, her words serving up both acknowledgement and expectation. "I didn't know what lay ahead, but I was as tough and ready as I'd ever be. My hand tightened around my M1 rifle. "Let the chips fall where they damn well pleased." Contents Prologue: Whether I shall turn out to be the hero ... Patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel ... He's tough, ma'am ... A good soldier makes a poor scout ... Don't be a fool and die for your country ... If thou faint in the day of adversity ... The only gift is a portion of thyself ... In war, you win or lose, live or die ... Only the dead have seen the end of war ... Our friends show us what we can do ... The most wasted day of all ... I think there is choice possible at any moment ... Men weary as much of not doing the things they want to do ... If a way to the better be ... A faithful friend is the medicine of life ... A good friend ... War is cruelty ... Epilogue: I know myself now ... 2 photos

"Quick but weighty read that fans of dystopian and historical fiction will enjoy." - Kirkus Reviews Herman Rosenfeld wakes up in an alternate 1997 where the Fascist powers won World War II. The United States still exists, but has not been immune to the cultural contagion of intolerance and hatred the Fascist states have spread. Herman works to figure out the point where his new world diverged from his old one. He realizes he knows who caused this divergence and with his alternate world grandson, Josh, he sets off for Rome, the capital of the Fascist New Roman Empire, to find the man responsible, Vito Armini. Through his quest to find a way home, Herman grows to love his new grandson and witnesses the tragedy that one man's power-seeking has wrought upon the world.
