International Economic Indicators and Central Banks By Anne Dolganos Picker
2007 | 332 Pages | ISBN: 0471751138 | PDF | 4 MB
This book is basically a catalog of the major non-U.S. central banks, the statistics they publish, the calendar on which each one publishes, some of the quirks associated with their statistics, and in some cases, which numbers are of particular importance to traders in the international bond and currency markets.Despite some discussion in the introduction and on the book jacket about how this information would be of use to a typical investor, there is essentially nothing of that sort in the book. In a few places, after describing German producer price indices, for example, Picker offers something lame like "this might help you decide whether or not the economy is growing before you invest."The book will be of use to those already familiar with the statistics it covers but who are branching out to new markets and who need to know, for example, the weaknesses in Spanish inflation measuring, as compared to Germany. The discussion of chained GDP vs. traditional base-year-GDP comparisons was useful.Not a bad book, but not something anybody would want to read cover to cover.

Mary Nell Trautner, "Insiders, Outsiders, Injuries, and Law: Revisiting 'The Oven Bird's Song' "
English | ISBN: 1107188407 | 2018 | 314 pages | PDF | 3 MB
A central theme of law and society is that people's ideas about law and the decisions they make to mobilize law are shaped by community norms and cultural context. But this was not always an established concept. Among the first empirical pieces to articulate this theory was David Engel's 1984 article, 'The Oven Bird's Song: Insiders, Outsiders, and Personal Injuries in an American Community'. Over thirty years later, this article is now widely considered to be part of the law and society canon. This book argues that Engel's article succeeds so brilliantly because it integrates a wide variety of issues, such as cultural transformation, attitudes about law, dispute processing, legal consciousness, rights mobilization, inclusion and exclusion, and inequality. Contributors to this volume explore the influence of Engel's important work, engaging with the possibilities in its challenging hypotheses and provocative omissions related to the legal system and legal process, class conflict and difference, and law in other cultures.

Income and Wealth by Alan Reynolds
English | 2006 | ISBN-10: 0313336881 | 248 pages | PDF | 2 MB
Why some people are rich and others poor can be explained in a number of ways. Income and Wealth focuses on who gets what and why. It explains the dynamics of income generation, how it is measured, and how such dramatic disparities in distribution come about. The book first defines various characteristics of income, with an emphasis on the gap between the rich and the poor, and reviews several theories to explain the disparities. Subsequent chapters discuss such timely topics as the vanishing middle class and the sky-high salaries of CEOs, Hollywood stars, and athletes. The final chapters consider the implications of policies, such as the minimum wage, taxes, immigration, and trade quotas, and expand the discussion to consider international comparisons. Featuring graphs and charts, a glossary of key terms, and a listing of references and resources, Income and Wealth explains the intricate, and often controversial, effects of economic policies on individuals, families, and communities. Moreover, it shows how the numbers can be manipulated by policymakers, pundits, journalists, and academics to promote various agendas-and shows readers how to recognize hyberbole and make better-informed decisions.

In Their Own Words: Forgotten Women Pilots of Early Aviation by Fred Erisman
English | ISBN: 1557539782 | 242 pages | EPUB | January 15, 2021 | 2.34 Mb
Amelia Earhart's prominence in American aviation during the 1930s obscures a crucial point: she was but one of a closely knit community of women pilots. Although the women were well known in the profession and widely publicized in the press at the time, they are largely overlooked today. Like Earhart, they wrote extensively about aviation and women's causes, producing an absorbing record of the life of women fliers during the emergence and peak of the Golden Age of Aviation (1925-1940). Earhart and her contemporaries, however, were only the most recent in a long line of women pilots whose activities reached back to the earliest days of aviation. These women, too, wrote about aviation, speaking out for new and progressive technology and its potential for the advancement of the status of women. With those of their more recent counterparts, their writings form a long, sustained text that documents the maturation of the airplane, aviation, and women's growing desire for equality in American society.
