Although Sismondi was admired for his analytic originality and imagination by Marx, Mill, and Schumpeter, until now there has been no full translation of his major work into English. Richard Hyse's excellent translation permits us to absorb the full flavor and quality of his thought. And as Robert Heilbroner notes in his foreword: "Perhaps even more useful is the commentary that precedes and accompanies the text . . . Hyse takes the reader on a conducted tour as he points out Sismondi's di...

Routledge Library Editions: Historical Security

For seventy years Douglas Haig had been portrayed on the one hand as the ‘Butcher of the Somme’ – inept, insensitive and archaic; and on the other as the ‘Saviour of Britain’ – noble, unselfish and heroic. This polarised, strident and ultimately inconclusive argument had resulted in Haig becoming detached from his own persona; he had become a shallow symbol of a past age to be pilloried or praised. The middle ground in the Haig debate had been as barren as No Man’s Land.There shoul...

What if the Sermon on the Mount and the Four Noble Truths, the Lord's Prayer and the Bhagavad Gita, were not competing claims, but different voices pointing toward t...

When Jan de Groot decided to purchase Raven, a 140-foot gaff-rigged ketch, in order to provide sailing adventures for underprivileged children in British Columbia, he had no idea of the bizarre adventure that lay ahead. Built in 1920 as a sailing cargo vessel, Raven was converted to a pleasure yacht in the late 1960s. She should have been the perfect vessel for the job Jan envisaged - and might have been, were it not for the ghost that haunted her.After the ship was launch...

Jahrhunderts eine Stellung ein, die der des Streichquartetts für das folgende Jahrhundert nicht unähnlich ist: Sie erweist sich als die wichtigste Gattung der Kammermusik, in der grundsätzliche Satz- und Kompositionsweisen von Instrumentalmusik weiterentwickelt werden und die auch in Produktion und Zirkulation einen zentralen Platz einnimmt.Der vorliegende Band, dessen Beiträge sich italienischen und europäischen Kontex...

Routledge Library Editions: The Economics and Business of Technology

Originally published in 1989 this book is a valuable contribution to the development of a non-technological approach in the study of technology and work. The studies compare the introduction and implementation of new technology at work in similar enterprises throughout Europe. The contributors share the basic assumption that the impact of technology varies greatly according to the characteristics of the country and its socioeconomic system. They view changes in work as the result of the co...

The Dutch army created by Maurice of Nassau used innovative new tactics and training to take the fight to Spain and...
