Public Finance and Public Policy

Responsibilities and Limitations of Government

This book is the second edition of Public Finance and Public Policy (2003). The second edition retains the first edition's themes of investigation of responsibilities and limitations of government. The present edition has been rewritten and restructured. Public choice and political economy concepts and political and bureaucratic principal-agent problems are introduced at the beginning for application to later topics. Fairness, envy, hyperbolic discounting, and other concepts of behavioral economics are integrated throughout. The consequences of asymmetric information and the tradeoff between efficiency and ex-post equality are recurring themes. Key themes investigated are markets and governments, institutions and governance, public goods, public finance for public goods, market corrections (externalities and paternalist public policies), voting, social justice, entitlements and equality of opportunity, choice of taxation, and the need for government. The purpose of the book is to provide an accessible introduction to the use of public finance and public policy to improve on market outcomes.

Commonplace Books and Reading in Georgian England

This pioneering exploration of Georgian men and women's experiences as readers explores their use of commonplace books for recording favourite passages and reflecting upon what they had read, revealing forgotten aspects of their complicated relationship with the printed word. It shows how indebted English readers often remained to techniques for handling, absorbing and thinking about texts that were rooted in classical antiquity, in Renaissance humanism and in a substantially oral culture. It also reveals how a series of related assumptions about the nature and purpose of reading influenced the roles that literature played in English society in the ages of Addison, Johnson and Byron; how the habits and procedures required by commonplacing affected readers' tastes and so helped shape literary fashions; and how the experience of reading and responding to texts increasingly encouraged literate men and women to imagine themselves as members of a polite, responsible and critically aware public.

Modernism and the Grounds of Law

Existing approaches to the relation of law and society have for a long time seen law as either autonomous or grounded in society. Drawing on untapped resources in social theory, Fitzpatrick finds law pivotally placed in and beyond modernity. Being itself of the modern, law takes impetus and identity from modern society and, through incorporating 'pre-modern' elements of savagery and the sacred, it comes to constitute that very society. When placing law in such a crucial position for modernity, Fitzpatrick ranges widely from the colonizations of the Americas, through the thought of the European Enlightenment, and engages finally with contemporary arrogations of the 'global'. By extending his previous work on the origins of modernity, this book makes a significant contribution to continuing developments in law and society, legal philosophy, and jurisprudence.

Topological Topics

Articles on Algebra and Topology Presented to Professor P J Hilton in Celebration of His Sixtieth Birthday

Professor Peter Hilton is one of the best known mathematicians of his generation. He has published almost 300 books and papers on various aspects of topology and algebra. The present volume is to celebrate the occasion of his sixtieth birthday. It begins with a bibliography of his work, followed by reviews of his contributions to topology and algebra. These are followed by eleven research papers concerned with various topics of current interest in algebra and topology. The articles are contributed by some of the many mathematicians with whom he has worked at one time or another. This book will be of interest to both topologists and algebraists, particularly those concerned with homotopy theory.

First, we wish to emphasise that the condition "66 E 6' mod I'" is indeed useful
and explicit. For example, consider the case G = G' = Sp(l); the centre Z = Z' is {ii},
and the Dynkin element 6 = 6' is -l. The appropriate Adams & Mahmud: Maps

The Delhi Sultanate

A Political and Military History

The Delhi Sultanate was the first Islamic state to be established in India. In a broad-ranging, accessible narrative, Peter Jackson traces the history of the Sultanate from its foundation in 1210 to its demise in 1400 at the sack of Delhi by the Central Asian conqueror, Tamerlane. During the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, the Sultanate was the principal bastion of Islam in the subcontinent. While the book focuses on military and political affairs, tracing the Sultanate's resistance to formidable Mongol invasions from the north-west and the administrative developments that underpinned these exploits, it also explores the Sultans' relations with their non-Muslim subjects. As a comprehensive treatment of the period, the book will make a significant contribution to the literature on medieval Indo-Muslim history. Students of Islamic and Indian history, and those with a general interest in the region, will find it a valuable resource.

The reign of Muhammad b. Tughluq throws up perhaps more problems than any
other in the history of the Sultanate. At the sultan's accession the authority of
Delhi was acknowledged over a larger area of the subcontinent than under any
previous monarch. It is to this process of expansion that Barani refers when he
describes the unprecedented scope and efficiency of the revenue department in
Muhammad's early years.1 And yet the reign appears to be dominated by an
extraordinary ...

The Rise of the Standard Model

A History of Particle Physics from 1964 to 1979

Based on a conference held at Stanford University, this book gives the most comprehensive and up-to-date account of an exciting physics revolution--the rise of the Standard Model. The third volume of a series recounting the history of particle physics, this volume focuses on the Standard Model, which explains the microstructure of the world in terms of quarks and leptons and their interactions. Major contributors include Steven Weinberg, Murray Gell-Mann, Michael Redhead, Silvan Schweber, Leon Lederman, and John Heilbron. A collaboration of physicists and historians of science, the wide-ranging articles explore the detailed scientific experiments, the institutional settings in which they took place, and the ways in which the many details of the puzzle fit together to account for the Standard Model.

Several accounts have been written of the discovery of neutral weak currents,
mainly by social scientists or theoreticians.1 Although doubtless well motivated,
these authors were themselves not immersed in the experimental situation in
neutrino physics in the 1960s and 1970s. There have also been, of course,
nonhistorical reviews of the physics of neutral currents.2 In this chapter I shall
present an experimenter's account of the sequence of events in this discovery,
based on my own ...

Electron Correlation Dynamics in Atomic Collisions

Describes the dynamics of electron correlation in multi-electron transitions in atomic, molecular and optical physics.

So the motivation for this book is to look at an emerging topic that is of interest in
its own right and that impacts on a question of broad scientific interest, namely,
the question of correlation (or the many body problem, or the construction of
complex atomic systems The audience for whom this book is intended includes
specialists in the field, graduate students and engineers. The first chapter
includes a review of basic concepts in simple probability, classical scattering
theory and a brief ...
