Righteous heathens or virtuous pagans - classical or other non-Christian figures whose reputation for virtue evoked the admiration of medieval writers and provoked anxious speculation about the possibility of their salvation - feature prominently in a wide variety of late-medieval English texts, and this book surveys their appearances in travel literature, chronicles, romances, and sermons, as well as in the work of Langland, Chaucer and Gower, Representing Righteous Heathens in Medieval England is not just a taxonomy; Grady argues throughout the interest in virtuous pagans is much more than just an outgrowth of contemporary theological debates and that English used these figures to explore a variety of historical, cultural and formal literary issues.

The westerly portion of the Adirondack Mountains includes the village of Old Forge and the hamlets of Inlet, Eagle Bay, Big Moose, and Thendara.

Cybersecurity is a leading national problem for which the market may fail to produce a solution. The ultimate source of the problem is that computer owners lack adequate incentives to invest in security because they bear fully the costs of their security precautions but share the benefits with their network partners. In a world of positive transaction costs, individuals often select less than optimal security levels. The problem is compounded because the insecure networks extend far beyond the regulatory jurisdiction of any one nation or even coalition of nations. Originally published in 2006, this book brings together the views of leading law and economics scholars on the nature of the cybersecurity problem and possible solutions to it. Many of these solutions are market based, but they need some help, either from government or industry groups, or both. Indeed, the cybersecurity problem prefigures a host of twenty-first-century problems created by information technology and the globalization of markets.
