One of the most important trends in post-war Britain was the
extension of the number and variety of public service undertakings.
Originally published in 1933, this title indicated the empirical
nature and recent importance of British public utility development
at the time, being the first study, which dealt with this trend in
a comprehensive manner. For completeness to the book and also
providing a suitable background, the local utility services water,
gas, transport, docks, and harbors have been considered. The author
felt the trends of recent years made a rediscovery of political
economy imperative and urgent. This study was an effort to reunite
economics, public administration, law, and philosophy in the
consideration of British public utilities.
The Federal Reserve System has been widely criticised for its
response (or lack of response) to the economic and financial
problems of 1928-1933. This period was one of frantic speculation
followed by the collapse of the stock market, the banking system
and the economy at large. How did the Fed let this happen, and was
it to blame? This book, first published in 1993, carries out an
in-depth statistical analysis of the relevant data supporting the
various theories surrounding the Fed's behaviour at the time, and
is a key work in understanding the thinking of the period.
Originally published in 1960. This title presents a discussion of
bureaucracy and enterprise and how they are related and might be
combined. Case studies of various businesses, including Marks and
Spencer, are used to illustrate this idea. Most of the companies
examined are large and have all been at least partially successful
in solving some of the difficulties of administration that
businessmen and government officials constantly encounter. The
present book was an attempt to break new ground, to suggest some
new syntheses, to seek some practical explanations, and to propose
some practical solutions. This title will be of interest to
students of Business Studies and Management.

What is truly real? Rudolf Steiner sheds light on everyday reality
through spiritual knowledge, repeatedly urging us to bring
anthroposophy into daily human existence. We might consciously
experience the difference between consuming a potato as compared to
cereals such as rye, for example - or we could grasp ordinary
phenomena, such as sleepwalking, through an understanding of the
threefold human being. Likewise, we might strive to comprehend how
our head is the transformed organism of our previous life.
Throughout, Steiner emphasizes that we can achieve spirituality on
earth if only we make anthroposophy real. The twelve lectures here
were delivered during the portentous year of 1923, in the context
of increasing attacks from Steiner's opponents. His architectural
masterpiece, the first Goetheanum, had already been destroyed by
fire, but he was yet to refound the Anthroposophical Society at the
Christmas Conference. In these uncertain times, Steiner speaks of
the decline of European culture and the development of materialism
as a philosophy, leaving anthroposophy with no exoteric foundation
on which to build. But Rudolf Steiner strikes a positive note with
an exciting and constructive way forward, providing us with the
tools to see the world through three key perspectives of
anthroposophy: the physical, the soul and the spiritual dimensions
of reality. This previously-unpublished volume is translated by
Elizabeth Marshall and includes an introduction, notes and index.

In this third book in the Falk McCoy Mysteries Series, McCoy is
hired by a Bolivian to investigate a Miami fashion designer the man
hopes to marry. But McCoy's investigation takes him into a world
where fickle love has him questioning whether sex, money and
politics aren't the true matters of the heart.
Tequila and Temptation is the fourth volume of poetry from the pen
of Marshall E Gass. This collection contains more personal,
introspective writings than the first three, while maintaining the
elevated standards of contemplation and linguistics which are the
essence of Marshall's writings. In his own words: "These poems take
me back to a time when I was molting, shedding my skin and growing
a thicker layer of fat to overcome the brutality of being young and
foolish. These poems jump across many boundaries and climb many new
fences. They speak from the heart. They are testament to a time and
place where I have been and what I have done and how I have done
it." -Marshall E Gass
The Seven Deadly sins are objects in the human path and have been
since the dawn of time. The Bible states that these sins are meant
to be avoided lest thou shall enter Everlasting pain and torture in
the bowels of Hell. The current recognized versions are Pride
(Vanity), Greed (Avarice), Lust, Envy, Wrath, Sloth and Gluttony. A
human journey is unique in experience and overall content of life.
It is well known by God, and by others the sins one carried out
during his or her lifetime. This collection of poems visits these
sins and demonstrates that a life fulfilled can lead to Salvation
if one avoids the pitfalls of sin
