Reflexivity and Development Economics outlines an alternative to the prevailing view of economic development, the revised Washington Consensus, which holds that the same development policies work more or less everywhere. Based on an open-ended view of economic knowledge which moves away from one-size-fits-all blueprints, Daniel Gay argues that economic analysis should vary according to country context. He examines the approach in the case of one of the world's poorest countries, Vanuatu; and a development success-story, Singapore, showing that that listening to the poor improves policy, and that examining the biases held by development economists helps tailor policy more closely to local conditions. This book is essential reading for those interested in development studies, international political economy, development economics and economic methodology.

A New World of Geometry Awaits Your Discovery! The last stone falls out ... a rush of ancient air ... the glint of gold ... the tingle of discovery ... When explorers first opened the tombs of the ancient pharaohs, they knew that they had discovered something wonderful. That feeling, that same passionate sense of discovery, is one of the most powerful educational tools a text can deliver. Geometry by Discovery is an exciting new approach to geometry. This ground-breaking text taps the pedagogical value of discovery to help students stretch their geometric perspective and hone their geometric intuition. It actively engages students in solving mathematical problems, and empowers them to be successful problem-solvers and discoverers of mathematical ideas.
