This volume, originally published in 1997, examines the combined
effect of financial instability and industrial restructuring on
postwar economic growth and recession in the US. It sheds light on
the fundamental question of whether or not these trends are
positive for the economy as a whole. To explain the cyclical nature
of investment and finance, institutional theory regarding financial
instability is examined in depth and related to Minsky's analysis
of investment behaviour. The author has created an empirical model
of this behaviour which, he claims, accurately predicts historical
consumption investment and GDP cycles.

In order to successfully compete as a sustainable energy source,
the value of biomass must be maximized through the production of
valuable co-products in the biorefinery. Specialty chemicals and
other biobased products can be extracted from biomass prior to or
after the conversion process, thus increasing the overall
profitability and sustainability of the biorefinery.
"Biorefinery Co-Products" highlights various co-products that
are present in biomass prior to and after processing, describes
strategies for their extraction, and presents examples of bioenergy
feedstocks that contain high value products.
Topics covered include: Bioactive compounds from woody
biomassPhytochemicals from sugar cane, citrus waste and
algaeValuable products from corn and other oil seed cropsProteins
from foragesEnhancing the value of existing biomass processing
streams
Aimed at academic researchers, professionals and specialists in
the bioenergy industry, "Biorefinery Co-Products" is an essential
text for all scientists and engineers working on the efficient
separation, purification and manufacture of value-added biorefinery
co-products.
