Robin Neill
A History of Canadian Economic Thought (Routledge History of Economic Thought)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In A History of Canadian Economic Thought , Robin Neill relates the evolution of economic theory in Canada to the particular geographical and political features of the country. Theories and policies are critiqued by testing them against both the conditions to which they were applied and against competing theories. This study reflects a number of issues in Canadian history. The two most crucial issues are the existence of a distinctive Canadian economics, and the nature and importance of the staple theory as an explanation of the development process in Canada. While there were distinctively Canadian economic discourses in nineteenth-century Ontario and early twentieth-century Quebec, Neill argues that these have now been absorbed into the broader North American mainstream. He also examines the nature and importance of the staple theory controversy and its suitability for the Canadian case. With full accounts of the work of major Canadian economists including… [detailed...]

Carl Kohler
A History of Costume

2007 y.
Publisher: Dover Publications
Description: The author`s intention in compiling this work was to show by practical examples the history of the development of dress. This is the most reliable and authentic account of the subject, for the author took pains to base his study on actual pieces of clothing that have survived, only turning to paintings, statues and other reproductions in cases where originals no longer existed. Adopting an historical approach, the author examines the costumes of the ancient peoples of the Mediterranean lands and Asia Minor, progresses to the Teutonic prehistoric period, the Middle Ages, Renaissance, Baroque, 18th and 19th centuries. He covers all aspects of the subject: male and female fashions, outer as well as under garments, materials used, methods of tailoring, designs, dyes, fashions for all occasions (ballroom, court, travel, sports, military, theatre, religious ceremonies, etc.), garb worn by various professions and occupations, all types of accessories, and other categories of attire. … [detailed...]

A. Barton Hepburn
A History of Currency in the United States

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Hepburn seeks to cover all essential facts concerning currency, coinage, and banking, from the Colonial period to the development of the United States Federal Reserve Banks. Within this broad topic, Hepburn provides an historical account of the monetary system during the Civil War. He examines paper currency, the coinage system, legal tender notes, and the development of the National Banking system separately and in-depth. Alonzo Barton Hepburn (1846-1922) was a legislator and banker. He served (1875-80) in the New York state legislature and became chairman of the legislative committee to investigate railroad rate discrimination. The published proceedings of this committee - popularly called the Hepburn Report - strongly influenced subsequent corrective legislation and helped bring about the adoption in 1887 of the federal Interstate Commerce Act. Later Hepburn devoted himself to banking and to government fiscal administration, becoming President of Chase National Bank and… [detailed...]

Knud J. V. Jespersen
A History of Denmark

2004 y.
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
Description: The history of modern Denmark is essentially the story of how a once extensive and diverse empire slowly disintegrated under the changing circumstances of the times. Eventually, the dissolution of the component parts resulted in one small core area remaining, which is today called Denmark. In this introductory guide, Knud J.V.Jespersen traces the lengthy process of disintegration and reduction which helped to form the modern Danish state, and the historical roots of Denmark`s current international position. Taking the starting point as the Reformation in the sixteenth century, when modern Danish society began to emerge, Jespersen explains how the Denmark of today was shaped by 500 years of wars, territorial losses, domestic upheavals, new methods of production, and changes in thought. He goes on to explore the development of a specific sense of Danish identity, and disusses whether the Danes can be most aptly described as a tribe or as a nation. Формат: 13,5 см х… [detailed...]

A History of Economic Theory and Method

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Economics, as intellectual discourse, is not a settled body of principles, it is a heterogeneous discipline with numerous traditions, each based on a cluster of theories. Ekelund and HA©bert, experienced researchers and educators, balance continuity and consensus in the evolution of economic theory with alternative points of view about the nature, scope, and method of economic inquiry. Their creative approach gives readers a feel for the thought processes of the great minds in economics and underscores key ideas impacting contemporary thought and practice. Building on the solid foundation of previous editions, the fifth edition of A History of Economic Theory and Method presents an updated and expanded examination of the essential theoretical elements of an economy and the numerous institutions that affect market behavior, beginning with the ancient Greeks and ending with the late twentieth century. It features an in-depth interpretation of the transition from classical… [detailed...]

A History of Ely Cathedral (Ecclesiastical History/Religion)

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThe tiny community founded in the fens by St Etheldreda in 672 and refounded as an abbey in 970 became one of the greatest monasteries in England: a community which owned much of Cambridgeshire and East Anglia as well as of the Isle of Ely itself, and which lived and worshipped in a set of buildings of which many are still standing. `There is not perhaps, any one Fabrick in this Kingdom that exhibits a larger, more elegant, or a more magnificent display of what is called Gothic Architecture, than the Cathedral of Ely`: so wrote James Bentham in his History and Antiquities of Ely in 1771. The present book is the first substantial history of the cathedral to be written since then, and covers the Church of Ely through each of its transformations - as early Saxon monastic settlement, as abbey, as cathedral priory (1109), and finally, after the Reformation, as cathedral governed by dean and chapter (1541). A final chapter looks at the present-day life of the cathedral and… [detailed...]

A History of French Literature: From Chanson De Geste to Cinema

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn its scope and inclusiveness, this ambitious volume is far more than a history of the literature of France from its origins to the present day, though it is that too. It is a book that fully registers the impact of post-modern thought upon our understanding of what we mean by ?literature` and what historically has been meant by the term. David Coward`s book allows us to see the diverse wealth of French literature, which has been extended and enriched by new Francophone writing in Europe, Canada, the West Indies and North and Sub-Saharan Africa. His history is set in the widest cultural context and links the development of literature to the mentalities and social conditions which produced it. Coward takes us beyond ?literature` into the world of the best-seller and, beyond words, to graphic fiction and cinema. In the course of his account he maps the rise of the intellectual, from the time of Dreyfus to the divisions of the 1930s, from the… [detailed...]

A History of Games Played With the Tarot Pack: The Game of Triumphs, Vol. 1

2004 y.
Publisher: Edwin Mellen Press
Description: This two-volume book gives as comprehensive a history as can be achieved at the present time of a family of card games that originated in the first quarter of the XV century, and is therefore one of the very oldest still practiced. It is the family of games played with the Tarot pack. Contrary to popular belief, the Tarot pack was not invented for fortune-telling or any other occult purpose: that was an accretion dating from the late XVIII century. It was invented to play a new kind of card game: its great contribution was to introduce the idea of trumps into card play. The games spread to France and Switzerland in the early XVI century, and subsequently over almost the whole of Europe. In doing so, it developed a great multiplicity of different forms: the family is far more diverse than any other, while retaining a constant central core. This book will gather material that is widely scattered and very hard to come by, a good deal of it not otherwise accessible in print at all. It… [detailed...]

Peter Wende
A History of Germany

2005 y.
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
Description: Even a brief glance at the maps of what has, or might have, been called `Germany` through the ages reveals a kaleidoscope of alterations in shape and composition. Though there are elements of continuity, the history of Germany has been the history of nearly constant change. In this concise introduction to Germany`s fascinating past, Peter Wende provides an approachable historical interpretation of the key periods and turning points from Roman times to the present. Wende shows that, throughout the course of 2000 years, German history is actually the history of many Germanies, and that it can be written neither just as the history of a region nor of a political, ethnic or cultural formation. Focusing on key points in Germany`s political, social and economic development, this guide is ideal for all those with an interest in the complex and compelling history of one of Europe`s main nation-states.
