Frank Field
Welfare Titans: How Lloyd George &, Gordon Brown Compare &, Other Essays on Welfare Reform

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: There are few people better qualified to write on welfare than Frank Field. He has studied the issue for many years, and served as minister for Welfare Reform after the 1997 election. He brings both practical experience and historical perspective to bearon the problem. In this collection of essays he argues that we cannot continue as we are. The rights-based, centrally-funded, government-controlled welfare state we now operate is expensive, unresponsive, and the cause of what Frank Field describes as `aform of permanent serfdom.` In spite of this, New Labour remains wedded to the `ration-book` model, appropriate for the post-war years when our present system was being set up, but out of touch with the modern world of increased consumer choice. Frank Field describes the present policies as `the last throw in politics of central control.` In the brilliant essay which gives this book its title, Frank Field compares Lloyd George and Gordon Brown as `titans of welfare reform.` Both… [detailed...]

Welfare and Employment in a United Europe: A Study for the Fondazione Rdolofo Debenedetti

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Over the last twenty years, fifteen Western European nations have removed most barriers to trade and migration, as well as most forms of national discrimination in economic and social exchange. Some have also given up their national currency and their ability to conduct independent monetary and fiscal policy. Opinion on the future of structural reform in the European Union tends to fall into two camps. One side argues that the single market and monetary union will make it more difficult to carry out badly needed structural reforms. The other side contends that, as monetary policy is decided elsewhere, countries will have more resources to concentrate on structural concerns. Welfare and Employment in a United Europe takes a nuanced approach to the issues. Unusual for an edited volume, it consists of two long studies--each written by a group of economists working in four different countries of the European Union--followed by commentary. The first study suggests that… [detailed...]

Welfare, Choice, and Solidarity in Transition: Reforming the Health Sector in Eastern Europe (Federico Caffe Lectures)

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Reform of the welfare sector is an important yet difficult challenge for countries in transition from socialist central planning to market-oriented democracies. Here a scholar of the economics of socialism and post-socialist transition, and a health economist take on this challenge. They offer health sector reform recommendations for ten countries of Eastern Europe, drawn from nine guiding principles. The authors conclude that policymakers need to achieve a balance, both assuring social solidarity through universal access to basic health services and expanding individual choice and responsibility through voluntary supplemental insurance.

Dale W. Jorgenson
Welfare, Vol. 2: Measuring Social Welfare

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: `Few economists have done more to link economic theory to econometrics than Dale Jorgenson. In this book, he relates the analysis of individual and social welfare to the econometric estimation of consumer behaviour. The result is a wealth of both theoretical and empirical knowledge about the impact of policy reforms on inequality and poverty.` -- Mervyn King, Executive Director and Chief Economist, Bank of England This volume presents an approach to the evaluation of economic policies through the econometric modeling of aggregate consumer behavior. While the preferences of individual consumers are revealed by their market choices, these preferences can be recovered only by econometric methods, not through the index numbers used in the official statistics. The richer and more robust methodology presented in this volume provides a fruitful point of departure for future policy evaluations. The econometric approach replaces ordinal measures of individual welfare that cannot be… [detailed...]

Description: The hilarious first-person account of life as a hypochondriac?from the critically acclaimed author of Devil in the Details.Jennifer Traig does not suffer from lupus, multiple sclerosis, Crohn?s Disease, or muscular dystrophy. Nor does she have SUDS, the mysterious disorder that claims healthy young Asian men in their sleep. What she does have is hypochondria. In Well Enough Alone, Traig provides an uproariously funny inquiry into her ailment, as well as a well-researched history of the disorder. While chronicling her life as a hypochondriac and the minor conditions that helped to fuel her persistent self-diagnosis, she offers a literary tour of the disorder?s past and present. And by the end, her journey leaves her more knowledgeable, a little less neurotic, and?one might say?healthier. [detailed...]

Well Logging for Physical Properties : A Handbook for Geophysicists, Geologists, and Engineers

2000 y.
Publisher: John Wiley &, Sons
Description: A unique description of the latest logging technology and how to apply it not only in standard situations but in other conditions, such as air-filled boreholes and partially-saturated formations, and for other applications such as the estimation of lithology type, shale fraction and the movement of fluids in a borehole. Standard well logging technology was developed primarily to quantify the content of petroleum in fluid-saturated sedimentary formations, however, there are many other uses for the technology. By taking a fundamental approach to tool physics, and covering more topics in greater depth and at a higher technical level, this book enables the reader to understand the technology, to ask the right questions, and then to use the answers. It explores the physical principles behind logging methods, including modern methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance, full-wave acoustic methods, and logging-while-drilling. No other book explains all of these new techniques. However,… [detailed...]

Description: After a presentation of the various interpretation techniques proposed by all well test interpretation computer programs (straight line methods, pressure curve analysis, pressure derivative method), the advantages and limitations of the different approaches are discussed. With today`s powerful graphic and computing facilities, the characteristic features of the many different types of wells and reservoirs are magnified, and a large catalogue of theoretical solutions is required for the analysis of transient test responses. More accurate and useful information is extracted from well tests. The interpretation models are reviewed for well, reservoir and boundary conditions. The models hypothesis and the influence of the different parameters are presented in detail. Application to field measurements is thoroughly documented. [detailed...]

Description: Book Description THE YEAR IS 2336 For twelve years, she was captain of the Federation`s flagship. But while her exploits as commander of the U.S.S. Enterprise? NCC-1701-C are legend, little has been revealed about Rachel Garrett,her vessel, or the unusual men and women of her crew. Until now. When the archaeological find of the decade offers possible hints about an earlier Cardassian civilization, it attracts not merely those seeking to quench their thirst for knowledge, but also parties with far less noble interests. Among the latter is the Asfar Qatala, a notorious criminal cartel with a disturbing connection to one of the Enterprise`s highest-ranking officers. Now Captain Garrett and her crew are swept into a maelstrom of kidnapping, extortion, and murder -- as well as a desperate, secret struggle between the Qatala and its chief rival, the fledgling Orion Syndicate. And beneath the surface of the frozen world on which the proto-Cardassian… [detailed...]

Well, What Is Photography: A Lecture on Photography on the Occasion of the 10th Anniversary of Fotomuseum Winterthur

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionIn this accessible and eloquent book-length essay, Urs Stahel, writer, curator and co-founder of Fotomuseum Winterthur, muses on the very nature of photography. The introduction outlines the unique tension defining photography--that it shows a segment of the world and simultaneously expresses a subject`s particular view of this world. This tension is the source of the medium`s unique creative potential and its complex relation to truth. Stahel provides a philosophical perspective on theseissues by placing them in an epistemological, social, and historical context. Chapters on industrial photography, staged and conceptual photography, and the current crisis of photojournalism provide a panoramic overview of the possibilities and challenges of photography in all of its variety, from the casual snapshot to art and commercial photography. This profound and readable essay, one of the few daring enough to address the nature of photography, is destined to become a standard… [detailed...]
