This book applies contemporary macroeconomic theory and econometric
modelling techniques in order to address policy issues relating to
the CFA Franc Zone, a group of francophone African Countries
sharing a common currency that is linked to the French Franc /
Euro. Within this methodological framework, the author analyses the
way in which the monetary institutions of the CFA influence
macroeconomic development and policy formation.
Contents: 1. An Introduction to the Institutions and Members of the CFA Franc Zone 2. CFA Membership, Exchange Rate Pegs and Inflation 3. Short-Run Monetary Policy Formation: Comparing the CFA with Anglophone Africa 4. Public Debt and the Strategic Interaction of Monetary and Fiscal Policy 5. Asset Demand and the Monetary Transmission Mechanism: the Case of Côte d'Ivoire 6. Tests of Capital Market integration between the Franc Zone and France 7. Savings, Investment and Franc Zone Membership: Time-Series Evidence from a Comparison of Côte d'Ivoire with Kenya 8. CFA Membership and the Role of Relative Price Stability in Investment Performance 9. Conclusion and Suggestions for Further Study
Death, Gender and Ethnicity examines the ways in which gender and ethnicity shape the experiences of dying and bereavement, taking as its focus the diversity of ways through which the universal event of death is encountered. It brings together accounts of how these experiences are actually managed with analyses of a range of representations of dying and grieving in order to provide a more theoretical approach to the relationship between death, gender and ethnicity. Though death and dying have been an increasingly important focus for academics and clinicians over the last thirty years, much of this work provides little insight into the impact of gender and ethnicity on the experience. The result is often a universalising representation which fails to take account of the personally unique and culturally specific experiences associated with a death. Drawing on a range of detailed case studies, Death, Gender and Ethnicity seeks to develop a more sensitive theoretical approach which will be invaluable reading for students and practitioners in health studies, sociology, social work and medical anthropology.

Second season of the Australian comedy in which a man's fledgling
relationship with a beautiful woman is complicated by the jealousy
of her strangely human-seeming pet dog, Wilfred. Adam (Adam Zwar)
is initially delighted to be invited home by Sarah (Cindy
Waddingham). However, when he meets her 'dog', Wilfred (Jason
Gann), his enthusiasm wanes dramatically. While to Sarah Wilfred is
a just a pet, Adam sees him as a man dressed in a dog suit - and no
mere ordinary man. Wilfred is a drunken, possessive and
foul-mouthed ne'er-do-well and the bane of love-struck Adam's life.
Episodes are: 'Kiss Me Kat', 'Dog of a Town: Part 1', 'Dog of a
Town: Part 2', 'Honey You're Killing the Dog', 'Ice Dog Cometh',
'The Dog Father', 'Dog Star' and 'Bite Club'.
The history of economic thought is a vast and complex subject with a larg literature. Professors Screpanti and Zamagni provide a comprehensive and analytical overview of the development of economic theory from its beginnings to the end of the Middle Ages, up to contemporary contributions. The authors are particularly strong on twentieth-century theory, and place all theoretical developments within the historical context of the time. Accessible by undergraduate students, this text is both a lucid and concise account of the subject.
