Agriculture and Economic Growth in England 1650-1815

Agriculture and Economic Growth in England 1650-1815

Originally published in 1967 this was the first book to discuss why agricultural supply became more ‘responsive’ and to provide broadly based evidence of the ways in which that ‘responsiveness’ may have influenced the growth of the economy. The editor chose 7 essays reprinted in full to illustrate altered perspectives of agricultural change. His substantial introduction places the beginnings of a significant rise in farm output as far back as the mid-seventeenth century and concludes that agriculture played a vital but complicated role in the economy of eighteenth-century England. | Agriculture and Economic Growth in England 1650-1815

Revival: Beethoven (1933)

Revival: Beethoven (1933)

The original intention was that this book should be entirely biographical. If it be true however that out main interest is (or ought to be) in what a composer did rather than in what he was the truth applies especially to Beethoven and above all at the present time. The scheme of the book has therefore been modified so as to include a survey of his work. An attempt to make such survey cover the whole of Beethoven’s output would result in little more than a catalogue with annotations to brief as to convey hardly anything of the essential quality of the music. It seemed therefore that the limited space would be best used and the needs of the general reader more fully met by a much less rigid and comprehensive method. | Revival: Beethoven (1933)

Applied Regression Analysis Doing Interpreting and Reporting

Applied Regression Analysis Doing Interpreting and Reporting

This book is an introduction to regression analysis focusing on the practicalities of doing regression analysis on real-life data. Contrary to other textbooks on regression this book is based on the idea that you do not necessarily need to know much about statistics and mathematics to get a firm grip on regression and perform it to perfection. This non-technical point of departure is complemented by practical examples of real-life data analysis using statistics software such as Stata R and SPSS. Parts 1 and 2 of the book cover the basics such as simple linear regression multiple linear regression how to interpret the output from statistics programs significance testing and the key regression assumptions. Part 3 deals with how to practically handle violations of the classical linear regression assumptions regression modeling for categorical y-variables and instrumental variable (IV) regression. Part 4 puts the various purposes of or motivations for regression into the wider context of writing a scholarly report and points to some extensions to related statistical techniques. This book is written primarily for those who need to do regression analysis in practice and not only to understand how this method works in theory.

Life Cycle Assessment in the Built Environment

Life Cycle Assessment in the Built Environment

Life cycle assessment enables the identification of a broad range of potential environmental impacts occurring across the entire life of a product from its design through to its eventual disposal or reuse. The need for life cycle assessment to inform environmental design within the built environment is critical due to the complex range of materials and processes required to construct and manage our buildings and infrastructure systems. After outlining the framework for life cycle assessment this book uses a range of case studies to demonstrate the innovative input-output-based hybrid approach for compiling a life cycle inventory. This approach enables a comprehensive analysis of a broad range of resource requirements and environmental outputs so that the potential environmental impacts of a building or infrastructure system can be ascertained. These case studies cover a range of elements that are part of the built environment including a residential building a commercial office building and a wind turbine as well as individual building components such as a residential-scale photovoltaic system. Comprehensively introducing and demonstrating the uses and benefits of life cycle assessment for built environment projects this book will show you how to assess the environmental performance of your clients’ projects to compare design options across their entire life and to identify opportunities for improving environmental performance. | Life Cycle Assessment in the Built Environment

China’s Climate-Energy Policy Domestic and International Impacts

China’s Climate-Energy Policy Domestic and International Impacts

China’s recent climate-energy policy an outcome of contemporary challenges has generated conflict of interest amongst major stakeholders. Coupled with a boost in demand for oil gas and coal as well as a rapid growth in wind and solar power it has not only affected domestic fossil fuel and renewable energy providers but has also provoked a resource boom affecting development pathways internationally. This book therefore seeks to examine the economic social and ecological effects associated with China’s climate-energy policy. Assessing how the policy has been and will be formulated and implemented it analyses the changing use of energy CO2 emissions and GDP as well as social and environmental impacts both domestically and internationally. It presents in-depth case studies on specific policies in China and on its resource exporting countries such as Indonesia Australia Myanmar and Mongolia. At the same time using quantitative data it provides detailed input-output and applied computable general equilibrium analyses. Arguing that China has actively advanced its climate-energy policy to become a leader of global climate governance it demonstrates that China ultimately relocates the cost of its climate-energy policy to resource exporting countries. This book will be of great interest to students and scholars of energy the environment and sustainability as well as Chinese Studies and economics. | China’s Climate-Energy Policy Domestic and International Impacts

The UN International Criminal Tribunals Transition without Justice?

The UN International Criminal Tribunals Transition without Justice?

Both the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) and the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR) are now about to close. Bachmann and Fatic look back at the achievements and shortcomings of both tribunals from an interdisciplinary perspective informed by sociology political science history and philosophy of law and based upon on two key notions: the concepts of legitimacy and efficiency. The first asks to what extent the input (creation) of the ICTY and the ICTR can be regarded as legitimate in light of the legal and public debate in the early 1990s. The second confronts the output (the procedures and decisions) of the ICTY and the ICTR with the tasks both tribunals were assigned by the UN Security Council the General Assembly and by key organs (the president and the chief prosecutors). The authors investigate to what extent the ICTY and the ICTR have delivered the expected results whether they have been able to contribute to 'the maintenance of peace' 'stabilization' of the conflict regions or even managed to provide 'reconciliation' to Rwanda. Furthermore the book is concerned with how many criminals over whom the ICTY and the ICTR wield jurisdiction have actually been prosecuted and at what cost. Offering the first balanced and in depth analysis of the International Criminal Tribunals the volume provides an important insight into what lessons have been learned and how a deeper understanding of the successes and failures can benefit the international legal community in the future. | The UN International Criminal Tribunals Transition without Justice?

Data Analysis A Model Comparison Approach To Regression ANOVA and Beyond Third Edition

Data Analysis A Model Comparison Approach To Regression ANOVA and Beyond Third Edition

Data Analysis: A Model Comparison Approach to Regression ANOVA and Beyond is an integrated treatment of data analysis for the social and behavioral sciences. It covers all of the statistical models normally used in such analyses such as multiple regression and analysis of variance but it does so in an integrated manner that relies on the comparison of models of data estimated under the rubric of the general linear model. Data Analysis also describes how the model comparison approach and uniform framework can be applied to models that include product predictors (i. e. interactions and nonlinear effects) and to observations that are nonindependent. Indeed the analysis of nonindependent observations is treated in some detail including models of nonindependent data with continuously varying predictors as well as standard repeated measures analysis of variance. This approach also provides an integrated introduction to multilevel or hierarchical linear models and logistic regression. Finally Data Analysis provides guidance for the treatment of outliers and other problematic aspects of data analysis. It is intended for advanced undergraduate and graduate level courses in data analysis and offers an integrated approach that is very accessible and easy to teach. Highlights of the third edition include: a new chapter on logistic regression; expanded treatment of mixed models for data with multiple random factors; updated examples; an enhanced website with PowerPoint presentations and other tools that demonstrate the concepts in the book; exercises for each chapter that highlight research findings from the literature; data sets R code and SAS output for all analyses; additional examples and problem sets; and test questions. | Data Analysis A Model Comparison Approach To Regression ANOVA and Beyond Third Edition
