The Texas Rangers. The words evoke exciting images of daring,
courage, high adventure. The Rangers began as a handful of men
protecting their homes from savage raiding parties; now in their
third century of existence, they are a highly sophisticated
crime-fighting organization. Yet at times even today the Texas
Ranger mounts his horse to track fugitives through dense chaparral,
depending on his wits more than technology. The iconic image of the
Texas Ranger is of a man who is tall, unflinching, and dedicated to
doing a difficult job no matter what the odds. The Rangers of the
21st century are different sizes, colors, and genders, but remain
as vital and real today as when they were created in the horseback
days of 1823, when what is today Texas was part of Mexico, a wild
and untamed land.

The theory of monopoly capital is central to any satisfactory
analysis of accumulation and stagnation in advanced capitalist
economies. This major new book presents in one volume recent
discussions of monopoly capitalism to emphasize the centrality and
vitality of this tradition in modern political economy.Following
the work of Kalecki, Steindl and Baran and Sweezy, a number of
leading economists address key issues such as the calculation of
the economic surplus, the division of income between labour and
capital, oligopoly collusion over output and pricing, the growth of
unproductive activity, the degree of monopoly, surplus absorption
and stagnation and the history of the present crisis.
Works cited in this useful survey are appropriate for students,
librarians, and amateur and professional botanists. These encompass

subject index make locating specific entries simple. With materials
ranging from those selected for the informed layperson to those for
the specialist, this new edition reflects the momentous transition
from print to electronic information resources. It is an
appropriate purchase for public, college, university, and
professional libraries.

intersect. It demonstrates that time offers new critical
perspectives on sex and gender and makes problematic reductive

John P. Henderson's The Life and Economics of David Ricardo
represents the first comprehensive personal and intellectual
biography of the brilliant and influential British economist.
Employing the talents of both a biographer and an economist, the
author examines Ricardo's early years, his Sephardic origins and
his employment in the London financial markets, as well as his
later work on money and banking, international trade, economic
instability and the theory of rent and value. Henderson also
provides a thorough investigation of Ricardo's relationships with
Thomas Robert Malthus and other classical economists. The Life and
Economics of David Ricardo will be of interest not only to
historians of economic thought and students of economics, but also
to any economist working in the Ricardian or Classical Political
Economy tradition.

the greatest scientific issues of his day. Works originally in
Latin are presented in their contemporary English translations.
