The Exeter Book (1936) contains the texts of the Exeter Book, the
largest of the great miscellanies of Anglo-Saxon poetry, together
with an extensive introduction and notes.
The Paris Psalter and the Meters of Boethius (1932) contains the
texts and comprehensive notes on the Paris Psalter (the most
extensive collection of Anglo-Saxon metrical translations of the
Psalms) and the Meters of Boethius (the surviving Anglo-Saxon
versions of De Consolatione Philosophiae of Boethius.
First published in 1985, The Political Dilemmas of Military Regimes
was written against the backdrop of the increased prominence of
military intervention in the political process during this century.
The book puts forward the argument that the basic problem for
military regimes is not how they gain power, but what they can do
with it once they have it. It discusses the enormous range of
cultural and historical circumstances that military organisations
are derived from, and how widely they vary in their structure,
politics, and social composition. The book also highlights the
dilemma of choosing between institutionalisation and
demilitarisation as one that all military regimes must eventually
face. The Political Dilemmas of Military Regimes is an in-depth
study that draws on global material and experiences from throughout
the century.

This book is the first volume in a collective edition, the plan of
which includes all the surviving records of Anglo-Saxon poetry. The
main body of Anglo-Saxon poetry as it has come down to us is
contained in four important miscellany manuscripts, the Junius
Manuscript, the Vercelli Book, the Exeter Book, and the Beowulf
Manuscript, each of which will constitute a separate volume in this
edition. The remaining minor and more or less scattered examples of
Anglo-Saxon poetry will be grouped together, in a volume of volumes
of their own.
The current financial and sovereign debt crisis of the European
Union and the United States can be regarded as the most recent of a
wave of financial and sovereign debt crises that have affected
different regions of the world over the past quarter century. While
there is a large and growing body of literature on the economic
aspects of financial crises, its political elements remain
surprisingly under-studied. Moments of Truth: The Politics of
Financial Crises in Comparative Perspective fills this gap in the
literature by looking at the political repercussions and policy
implications of financial crises in comparative perspective, using
case studies in Latin America, Korea, and Russia, as well as the
contemporary crises in the US and in key European countries.
Contributors to this volume look at the crises as critical
junctures that generate high levels of uncertainty while calling
for decisive action. The chapters emphasize structural or agency
based explanations and give relevance to the role of ideas,
interests, and institutions in explaining different outcomes. The
questions addressed by the case studies include: how the crises
were defined by key actors, the range of political and policy
options available to deal with their impact, the role of ideas in
policy shifts, how political and economic actors redefine their
interests in contexts of uncertainty, how political institutions
mediate reactions to the crises, what explains the choice of a
certain option over other alternatives, and whether the crisis has
(so far) resulted in significant political and policy changes or in
incremental adjustments to the status quo. The first book to
comparatively analyze the political dimensions of financial crises
across different global regions, Moments of Truth will be highly
significant for any scholars interested in the contemporary debate
on financial crises.

This market is the largest and most liquid-call type derivative in
the world. Philips and Connolly intend to clarify definitions and
discuss why the warrant is so important to the institutional
investor. The authors consider its versatility and the implications
for profit from the tremendous volatility in this market.
