Price and Markup Behaviour in Manufacturing examines the role that
cost, competing domestic and foreign prices, domestic demand and
market structure play in determining the price and markup of
manufacturing firms across a range of countries and industries.
Michael Olive models imperfectly competitive behaviour at the firm
level, establishing logical relationships between these variables.
Aggregating these relationships gives predictions for price and
markup at the industry level. Empirical analysis is carried out by
estimating a pricing equation for 11 industrialised countries in
Asia, Europe and North America, and for 24 International Standard
Industrial Classification industries from 1970 to 1991. The results
exhibit a pattern of incomplete pass-through from competing foreign
price into industry price and markups that are not fixed. The
author illustrates that for higher levels of industry concentration
cost becomes less influential in determining industry price, while
the opposite is true for competing domestic and foreign prices.
This comprehensive and thorough examination of the literature on
pricing, the innovative model development and the comparative
analysis in this study will be of great interest to government
policymakers and academics wanting to keep abreast of new
developments in the area of pricing and markup.

economic and social history are vast and distinguish him as one of
the most prolific economic historians of the 20th century. This
volume honours Derek's contribution to the literature of economic
and social history and its contents reflect his wide-ranging
interests, particularly on issues relating to transport history and
the growth and structural change in economies. From transport in
the Industrial Revolution to late 20th-century international
financial architecture, the essays in this book, contributed by

In Deconstructing Undecidability, Michael Oliver explores the
problematic nature of decision, including the inherent exclusivity
that accompanies any decision, and the ways in which we attempt to
avoid recognizing this exclusivity. Advancing current readings of
the deconstructive work of Jacques Derrida, Oliver critically
examines the perennial problem of inescapable decision by focusing
on two particular scenarios. In discourses where a pursuit of
justice or liberation from systemic oppression is a primary
concern, Oliver argues for an appreciation of the inescapability of
making limited, difficult decisions for particular forms of
justice. He highlights a similarly precarious predicament in the
context of theological understandings and negotiations of divine
decision, pointing to the impossibility of safely navigating this
issue. In so doing, Oliver offers a renewed sense of undecidability
that urges continued vigilance with regard to complex, difficult
decisions. While wholeheartedly affirming the problem of
exclusivity that inevitably accompanies decision, Oliver argues for
the necessity of reckoning with difficult decisions and highlights
how one only ever mistakenly inhabits the illusory position of
"indecision," i.e. standing outside the decision point, as a
reflection of power and privilege. Ultimately, this book aims to
gain a greater appreciation for the complexity of the problem of
decision-in the contexts of justice work and theological
understandings of divine decision-in order to be more rigorous and
transparent in our continued engagement with it.

After a hostile takeover attempt of his video game design company
Imaginarium that resulted in the murder of his wife, Cailan Bane
retires to the northern Maine woods to rethink his life. But his
plans go in the dumpster when he intervenes to save a young boy
being chase by mysterious assault rifle-wielding commandos. He's
forced to revive his persona as the Death Whisperer, a former Force
Recon Marine sniper who rained the wrath of God on the Taliban, in
order to get the boy to safety. But when the boy reveals that his
entire town has disappeared and is now occupied by strangers bent
on killing him as the only survivor, Cailan and his old sniper
teammate, Dan Gabriel, investigate. What they discover is a
terrorist plot that will make the 9-1-1 disaster look like a fender
bender. Cailan's intervention brings him to the attention of the
terrorist mastermind, who contracts a deadly assassin to hunt down
and kill him. Cailan is forced to fight a two-front war, trying to
preserve the lives of thousands as well as his own, knowing that in
this war, you only lose once. After that, no one keeps score.
Cailan Bane was known as the Death Whisperer when he and his
partner Dan Gabriel operated as a hunter-sniper team in
Afghanistan. The enemy never saw or heard him. They simply died.
But snipers do a lot of waiting, which gave the duo time to dream
about starting a video game design company based on their military
exploits. After returning to the States, their dream became a
reality in the form of Imaginarium, a boutique company with a
reputation for putting out military and urban street fighter games
renown for their realism. But trouble befalls Imaginarium in the
form of a two front battle. While a Boston-based investment company
attempts a hostile takeover, someone decides to use the scenarios
described in the street fighter games as a model to murder those
who escape the justice of the American legal system. When a jet
carrying one of the victims is shot down with a fifty-caliber
rifle, killing seventeen innocent passengers, the FBI enlists the
help of the former sniper team to track the killer, an action that
draws the attention of the sociopath. But the killer and investment
company make a major mistake when they attack Imaginarium, because
it raises the ire of Cailan, and they don't realize when the Death
Whisperer goes hunting, even the devil runs for cover.
Never before has there ever been any other program that helped me
more as this one, and it gave me a nonsmoking life to live for my
future. Michael Oliver, author of Educated Smoker.
