This book challenges the mainstream paradigm, which is based on the
inter-temporal optimisation of welfare by individual agents. It
introduces a new methodology for studying how it is institutions
which create flows of income, expenditure and production together
with stocks of assets (including money) and liabilities, thereby
determining how whole economies evolve through time. Starting with
extremely simple stock flow consistent (SFC) models, the text
describes a succession of increasingly complex models. Solutions of
these models are used to illustrate ways in which whole economies
evolve when shocked in various ways. Readers will be able to
download all the models and explore their properties for
themselves. A major conclusion is that economies require management
via fiscal and monetary policy if full employment without inflation
is to be achieved.

Feature-length BBC drama depicting the relationships between former
British prime minister Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) and American
president Bill Clinton (Dennis Quaid). Set in the pre-9/11 years
from 1994 to 2001, the film focuses on the international presence
of Blair in relation to his American ally. While Clinton is almost
toppled from power by the Monica Lewinsky scandal, Blair continues
to strengthen his position, moving seamlessly from being Clinton's
acolyte to his equal, and eventually his moral superior in the
aftermath of Kosovo.
The controversy over culture and British 20th century economic performance has raged for many decades. Now, through selecting a control population, the link between British and American cultural values and entrepreneurship is finally unearthed. Using new evidence of Jewish immigration, mobility, and assimilation, Andrew Godley shows that despite similar backgrounds and opportunities, the Jews in London were far less entrepreneurial, preferring to remain as workers. However, in America Jews moved en masse into self-employment creating an innovative, dynamic economy while Britain remained stagnant and conservative.
Family adventure based on the novel by Roald Dahl. The film centres
around an eccentric chocolatier, Willy Wonka (Johnny Depp), and
Charlie Bucket (Freddie Highmore), a good-hearted boy from a poor
family who lives in the shadow of Wonka's extraordinary factory.
Most nights in the Bucket home, dinner is a watered-down bowl of
cabbage soup, which young Charlie gladly shares with his mother
(Helena Bonham Carter) and father (Noah Taylor) and both pairs of
grandparents. They all live in a tiny, tumbledown, drafty old house
but it is filled with love. Every night, the last thing Charlie
sees from his window is the great factory, and he drifts off to
sleep dreaming about what might be inside. For nearly fifteen
years, no one has seen a single worker going in or coming out of
the factory, or caught a glimpse of Willy Wonka himself, yet,
mysteriously, great quantities of chocolate are still being made
and shipped to shops all over the world. One day Willy Wonka makes
a momentous announcement. He will open his famous factory and
reveal 'all of its secrets and magic' to five lucky children who
find golden tickets hidden inside five randomly selected Wonka
chocolate bars. When Charlie finds some money on the snowy street
and takes it to the nearest store for a Wonka Whipple-Scrumptious
Fudgemallow Delight he finds a golden ticket. The family decides
that Grandpa Joe (David Kelly) should be the one to accompany
Charlie on this once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Once inside, Charlie
is dazzled by one amazing sight after another.
Critical Language Pedagogy: Interrogating Language, Dialects, and
Power in Teacher Education demonstrates how critical approaches to
language and dialects are an essential part of social justice work
in literacy education. The text details the largest and most
comprehensive study ever conducted on teachers' language beliefs
and learning about dialects, power, and identity. It describes the
experiences of over 300 pre- and in-service teachers from across
the United States who participated in a course on how to enact
Critical Language Pedagogy in their English classrooms. Through
detailed analyses and descriptions, the authors demonstrate how the
course changed teachers' beliefs about language, literacy, and
their students. The book also presents information about the
effectiveness of the mini-course, variations in the responses of
teachers from different regions of the United States, and the
varying language beliefs of teachers of color and White teachers.
The authors present the entire mini-course so that readers can
incorporate it into their own classes, making the book practical as
well as informative for teachers, teacher educators, and
educational researchers. Critical Language Pedagogy: Interrogating
Language, Dialects, and Power in Teacher Education provides a
much-needed theoretical explanation of Critical Language Pedagogy
and, just as importantly, a detailed description of teacher
learning and a Critical Language Pedagogy curriculum that readers
can use in K-12, college, and teacher education classrooms.
This guide - a companion to the Radiation Oncology Self-Assessment
Guide - is a comprehensive physics review for anyone in the field
of radiation oncology looking to enhance their knowledge of medical
physics. It covers in depth the principles of radiation physics as
applied to radiation therapy along with their technical and
clinical applications. To foster retention of key concepts and
data, the resource utilizes a user-friendly "flash card" question
and answer format with over 800 questions. The questions are
supported by detailed answers and rationales along with reference
citations for source information. It is comprised of 14 chapters
that lead the reader through the radiation oncology physics field,
from basic physics to current practice and latest innovations.
Aspects of basic physics covered include fundamentals, photon and
particle interactions, and dose measurement. A section on current
practice covers treatment planning, safety, regulations, quality
assurance, and SBRT, SRS, TBI, IMRT, and IGRT techniques. A chapter
unique to this volume is dedicated to those topics in diagnostic
imaging most relevant to radiology, including MRI, ultrasound,
fluoroscopy, mammography, PET, SPECT, and CT. New technologies such
as VMAT, novel IGRT devices, proton therapy, and MRI-guided therapy
are also incorporated. Focused and authoritative, this must-have
review combines the expertise of clinical radiation oncology and
radiation physics faculty from the Cleveland Clinic Taussig Cancer
Institute. Key Features: A one-stop guide for those studying the
physics of radiation oncology including those wishing to reinforce
their current knowledge of medical physics. Includes more than 800
questions with detailed answers and rationales. Delivered in a
"flash card" format to facilitate recall of key concepts and data.
Presents a unique chapter on diagnostic imaging topics most
relevant to radiation oncology. Content provided by a vast array of
contributors, including physicists, radiation oncology residents,
dosimetrists, and physicians.
