This collection of essays looks at the shared experience of exile
across different groups in the early modern period. Contributors
argue that exile is a useful analytical tool in the study of a wide
variety of peoples previously examined in isolation.

Although welfare reform is currently the government's top priority,
most discussions about the public's responsibility to the poor
neglect an informed historical perspective. This important book
provides a crucial examination of past attempts, both in this
country and abroad, to balance the efforts of private charity and
public welfare. The prominent historians in this collection
demonstrate how solutions to poverty are functions of culture,
religion, and politics, and how social provisions for the poor have
evolved across the centuries.
This groundbreaking book examines the complex relationships between
individuals and communities during the profound transitions of the
early modern period. Historians have traditionally identified the
origins of a modern individualist spirit in the European
Renaissance and Reformation. Yet since the 1960s, evolving
scholarship has challenged this perspective by calling into
question its basic assumptions about individualism, its exclusive
focus on elite individuals, and its inherent Eurocentric bias.
Arguing that individual identity drew from traditional forms of
community, these essays by leading scholars convincingly show that
individual and community created and recreated one another in the
major structures, interactions, and transitions of early modern
times. The authors contend that on the one hand, communities
provided the stability that allowed for individual agency, even as
they imposed new forms of discipline that confined individuals to
more rigid moral and social norms. On the other hand, individuals
established forms of association to advance their own economic,
social, political, and religious agendas. Offering an important
contribution to our understanding both of the early modern period
and of its historiography, this volume will be an invaluable
resource for scholars working in the fields of medieval, early
modern, and modern history, and on the Renaissance and Reformation.

Australian literature on professional accounting and audit begins
in 1880. The two decades to 1900 were a crucial period in
Australian history, the boom years of the 1880s being followed by
the severe recession of the 1890s and the federation of the
Australian. There were no professional accounting journals but
publication took place in banking and insurance magazines,
commercial newspapers and general newspapers. This book reprints 65
articles from this turbulent period and hugely productive period in
Australian Accounting and Auditing practices.

The scale of global transportation of oil cargoes has led to a
demand for increased control and international legislation to
combat accidental and operational dis charges of oily wastes and
residues at sea. Since 1954 the International Maritime Organisation
(IMO)* has provided the international forum for the development of
several proposals for controlling oil pollution from shipping,
which culminated in the 1973 International Convention for
Prevention of Pollution from Ships and the 1978 Protocol relating
to this Convention, together known as MARPOL 73178. Apart from the
requirement for improvements in the constructional design of
tankers, and operational procedures to enhance both safety and
pollution control in the carriage of oil and other noxious
substances at sea, MARPOL 73178 called for the extensive
installation of oil discharge monitoring, control and separating
equipment on board ships and offshore platforms. The 1973
Convention came into force in October 1983, twelve months after
sufficient countries had ratified it and agreed to abide by the
international rules and regulations. As a result, a large number of
systems have now been installed and are operational. The demand to
separate oil from water to give an oil content of less than 15
parts per million (ppm) and measure this on-line in an extremely
difficult environment has pro vided a considerable impetus for the
development of novel and robust instrumen tation and systems."
The appetite for illicit drugs in the UK continues to grow and
diversify. Young Britons consume more drugs than their peers
anywhere else in Europe. Why and how has this happened and why have
all official efforts to stem drug 'abuse' so far failed. Will the
new UK drugs strategy fair any better? This unique collection of
contemporary studies from the frontline by a leading social
research group describes the drugs landscape in an accessible and
authoritative way.

A comprehensive study of the connection between Calvinist missions
and Dutch imperial expansion during the early modern period "A tour
de force offering the reader the best study of global Calvinism in
the realms of the Dutch East India Company."-Ronnie Po-Chia Hsia,
editor, Calvinism and Religious Toleration in the Dutch Golden Age
Calvinism went global in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries,
as close to a thousand Dutch Reformed ministers, along with
hundreds of lay chaplains, attached themselves to the Dutch East
India and West India companies. Across Asia, Africa, and the
Americas where the trading companies set up operation, Dutch
ministers sought to convert "pagans," "Moors," Jews, and Catholics
and to spread the cultural influence of Protestant Christianity. As
Dutch ministers labored under the auspices of the trading
companies, the missionary project coalesced, sometimes grudgingly
but often readily, with empire building and mercantile capitalism.
Simultaneously, Calvinism became entangled with societies around
the world as encounters with indigenous societies shaped the
development of European religious and intellectual history. Though
historians have traditionally treated the Protestant and European
expansion as unrelated developments, the global reach of Dutch
Calvinism offers a unique opportunity to understand the
intermingling of a Protestant faith, commerce, and empire.

This series aims to concern itself with the theoretical, empirical
and applied research into the macro and micro accounting issues of
developing countries, including the relevance to the Third World of
international accounting standards. It is our hope that we can
raise the level of interest in the specific problems of accounting
in developing countries and raise the awareness of the real issues,
so that accounting in the Third World will not just be seen as a
matter of copying what is done in the industrialized countries. It
is our hope that through an increasing awareness of the issues, the
accounting practices advocated and the training made available will
become relevant to actual needs, and will make a real contribution
to the development process.
