In recent years widespread attention has been focused on decisions handed down by the Supreme Court that grapple with passionate issues: integration, school prayer, abortion, affirmative action. The appointment of new justices is a highly charged political event although the Court is supposed to be ""above"" politics. Amidst the bicentennial celebration of the Constitution and almost daily reports of major confrontations awaiting the highest court's judicial review, John Brigham presents a fresh and innovative examination of the U.S. Supreme Court as the final arbiter of constitutional.

This volume is in honour of Karl Schneider and covers the wide spectrum of Schneider's own interests: Part I covers runology (Elmer H. Antonsen, Hans Schwartz, Winfred P.

The 1,000 page manuscript of the autobiography is among theLudlow papers left to the University Library at Cambridge byCharles des Graz, great-nephew of Ludlow, in 1953, (catalogueno. Add. 7348.) Des Graz also left a typescript of much of themanuscript, though this is very inaccurate and has manyomissions, and a most useful transcription of Ludlow's ownbibliography of his books, pamphlets, lectures andcontributions to journals. This bibliography hasunfortunately, due to exigencies of space, had to be omittedfrom the present edition, but it can of course be consultedamong the Ludlow Papers

A Theory of Behavior in Organizations develops a theory for organizational behavior, or, more accurately, a theory of individual behavior within organizations of behavior. The book begins by discussing a series of general issues involved in the theory of behavior in organizations. It then describes the theory itself in three stages: first, the general structure of the theory; second, definition of the key variables; and third, the interrelationships between the variables. Subsequent chapters show how the theory deals specifically with such issues as roles, decision making, and motivation. T

Food Security Issues in the Arab Near East discusses the condition that agricultural production has not kept up with the increasing food demand. Increased demand has stem from population explosion and the growth of incomes in the oil exporting countries. The book addresses this Arab food security crisis. First part of the volume reviews short-term considerations to increase food production in chosen countries of the region. They cover technical and socio-economic parameters which could give favourable short term effect on agricultural production. These parameters are crop insurance, simple

This paper analyses second-best optimal environmental policies in the presence of a double dividend. Using a partial equilibrium model, the paper first reconfirms the well-known result that the existence of a double dividend (in its weak form) favours environmental policy instruments which - yielding the same improvement in environmental quality - maximise its tax revenues. Additional revenues can be used to reduce the distortion of the rest of the tax system. Without uncertainty, environmental taxes and auctioned permit schemes are equally appropriate. In the presence of uncertainty, however, the efficient choice of taxes or permits depends on the relative magnitudes of the marginal environmental damages and the marginal benefits from consuming a polluting good. In the second part, the paper, therefore, analyses the effect of a double dividend on the optimal choice of instruments in the presence of uncertainty. It shows that, although the revenue capacity effect generates additional welfare effects, the first-best choice rule between price and quantity regulation (Weitzman 1974) remains valid in a world with distortionary taxation.

The four volumes of Game Equilibrium Models present applications of non-cooperative game theory. Problems of strategic interaction arising in biology, economics, political science and the social sciences in general are treated in 42 papers on a wide variety of subjects. Internationally known authors with backgrounds in various disciplines have contributed original research. The reader finds innovative modelling combined with advanced methods of analysis. The four volumes are the outcome of a research year at the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies of the University of Bielefeld. The close interaction of an international interdisciplinary group of researchers has produced an unusual collection of remarkable results of great interest for everybody who wants to be informed on the scope, potential, and future direction of work in applied game theory. Volume III Strategic Bargaining contains ten papers on game equilibrium models of bargaining. All these contributions look at bargaining situations as non-cooperative games. General models of two-person and n-person bargaining are explored

Main description: While the statisticians are trying to knock a few tenths off the statistical error, says Mr. Payne, errors of tens of percents occur because of bad question wording. Mr. Payne's shrewd critique of the problems of asking questions reveals much about the nature of language and words, and a good deal about the public who must answer the poller's questions. For public opinion pollers, census takers, advertising copywriters, and survey makers of all kinds this book will be a tool for the achievement of more reliable results.Originally published in 1980.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These paperback editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.

What is romantic love? Are romantic relationships valuable? Are most people romantic? How do people meet the right person? How important is physical attraction? In a question and answer format, this is a wide-ranging look at romantic relationships in the 1990s. Drawn from the body of research published in recent years about relationships, over 90 of the most-asked questions in the author's practice are answered here. Issues covered include sexual harassment, understanding your partner, sex in the age of AIDS, the effects of divorce, handling anger, and many other matters. Written in everyday l

There is an almost inverse proportion between the influence that Husserl's Ideas II exercised on important philosophical developments in this century and the attention it has received in secondary literature. Ideas II is divided into three sections dealing with the constitution of material nature, the constitution of animal nature, and that of spiritual nature. The essays in this volume deal with various aspects of all three of these sections. The starting point of an essay is often a passage from the Husserlian text, yet each essay goes beyond the text, addressing the issues raised by Husserl's analyses
