Providing an up-to-date account of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT)
with contributions from the world's leading experts, each chapter
offers new insights on the topic, building upon MMT's established
body of work. This innovative book analyses key economic issues
from a wide set of regions including the UK, Europe and the Global
South, addressing previous concerns that MMT is too US-focused.
Alongside ground-breaking research written by MMT's original
developers and leading academics, the book also includes
contributions from economic historians and public policy
campaigners, highlighting how MMT contributes to challenging
neoliberalism and the hegemony of mainstream macroeconomics.
Offering an examination of the existing legal, institutional and
policy framework which governs the UK Exchequer in particular, it
examines how the central claims of MMT map onto the financial
activities of the UK government. This will be key reading for
undergraduate and postgraduate economics students, as well as more
advanced scholars of the discipline, particularly for those looking
into theories of finance, money and banking. It will also have a
wider appeal across the social sciences, including politics and
sociology students.
For anyone who enjoys walking, mountaineering, canoeing, skiing,
sailing, or mountain biking, it is important to have a sound grasp
of key techniques for planning and maintaining a route under any
possible condition, day or night, rain or snow. This compact,
easy-to-use handbook, developed out of six decades of experience by
the British Army's Special Air Service Brigade, provides clear
advice on navigation methods, both for a fully equipped journey and
in emergency situations.
Beginning with such navigation fundamentals as understanding
grid references on maps and how to use a compass and GPS (global
positioning system), "The SAS Guide to Tracking and Navigation"
goes on to provide detailed information on such subjects as finding
your way without a map or compass, reading the sun and stars,
navigating in extreme environments, marking trails, signaling for
help, and tracking both animals and people as well as basic tips on
how to elude being tracked yourself. Every procedure is
demonstrated in step-by-step diagrams that clearly outline what to
do and what not to do in order to bring you and your companions
safely to your destination.

The Cairngorms cover 300 sq miles, making it the most mountainous
area in Britain, with an equally wide range of wildlife. The native
pine forest, one of the final retreats of the red squirrel,
supports small, uncommon birds like crested tits, redwings and
crossbills. Loch Garten is the RSPB osprey breeding site where in
summer the birds fly over a considerable tract of country in search
of food. In scenic contrast, there is also an ascent to the summit
of Carn Daimh, part of the Speyside Way, with its splendid panorama
of the countryside surrounding Glenlivet.
Forbidden to continue his travels through time and space by his
fellow Time Lords, the newly regenerated Doctor (Jon Pertwee)
begins his exile on 20th century Earth. His arrival coincides with
a shower of strange meteorites, which are promptly investigated by
the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce. Although his old friend
Brigadier Alastair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart (Nicholas Courtney) is
initially suspicious of the Doctor's new appearance and
personality, he is forced to ask for his help when several of the
meteorites go missing. The Doctor discovers that the meteor shower
was in fact the first wave of an invasion by hostile alien
intelligence the Nestene; phase two begins when the Autons - deadly
plastic mannequins created by the Nestene agents on Earth - launch
an attack on the unsuspecting public.

Atmospheric seventies ghost story from the BBC. When scientists
working for Ryan Electrics move into their new headquarters, a
gothic mansion, they find one room unfinished. Strange noises are
heard, and the builders are too frightened to complete their work.
When the other scientists dismiss such fears as irrational whimsy,

that lurks beneath the building.

The Third Doctor (Jon Pertwee) faces terrifying plastic Autons and
the evil Master in these two classic Doctor Who adventures. In
'Spearhead from Space' (1969), the newly-regenerated Doctor begins
his exile on 20th century Earth after being forbidden to continue
his travels through time and space by his fellow Time Lords. His
arrival coincides with a shower of strange meteorites, which are
promptly investigated by the United Nations Intelligence Taskforce.
Although his old friend Brigadier Alastair Gordon
Lethbridge-Stewart (Nicholas Courtney) is initially suspicious of
the Doctor's new appearance and personality, he is forced to ask
for his help when several of the meteorites go missing. The Doctor
discovers that the meteor shower was in fact the first wave of an
invasion by hostile alien intelligence the Nestene; phase two
begins when the Autons - deadly plastic mannequins created by the
Nestene agents on Earth - launch an attack on the unsuspecting
public. In 'Terror of the Autons' (1970), the Doctor must pit his
wits against the Nestene invaders, now teamed with renegade Time
Lord the Master. This episode marks the first appearance of Jo
Grant (Katy Manning), Captain Mike Yates (Richard Franklin) and The
Master (Roger Delgado).
Now in its 10th edition, 'Whisky in Your Pocket', has been
thoroughly revised. It contains details for 130 malt and grain
whiskies, and 26 blended whiskies. The book contains handy regional
reference maps and up-to-date bottle shots, and guides on pricing.
The book also gives suggestions for comparable whiskies. It is
based on the late Wallace Milroy's 'Malt Whisky Almanac'. Milroy
was one of the world's most respected whisky connoisseurs. Neil
Wilson was Milroy's co-author and is a renowned whisky historian
and writer. The Malt Whisky Almanac is known and admired for its
simple and straightforward approach, its lack of pretension and
clarity. This edition is completely revised and expanded. The book
was first published in 1986 and written by Wallace Milroy with Neil
Wilson. Back in the 1960s and 70s, Wallace Milroy and his brother
Jack introduced malt whisky to London from their Soho Wine Market.
Neil Wilson persuaded Wallace to create a beginner's guide to
single bottled malts and together they conceived 'The Original Malt
Whisky Almanac: A Taster's Guide'. It went on to sell over 300,000
copies. This edition is an up-to-date guide to whisky suitable for
beginners and enthusiasts.

The surviving ten episodes from the second series of the popular
1960s medical drama starring Bill Simpson and Andrew Cruickshank.
Set in a medical practice in the fictional Scottish village of
Tannochbrae, the series follows the experienced and mildly
conservative Dr Cameron (Cruickshank) and his adventurous and
enquiring junior partner Dr Finlay (Simpson). In series two Cameron
and Finlay's housekeeper Janet (Barbara Mullen) becomes the subject
of Dr Snoddie (Eric Woodburn)'s romantic attentions. This seems
unlikely to sit well with Finlay, who has something of a rivalry
with Snoddie thanks to his ill-concealed disdain for Finlay's
progressive approach to medicine.
Originally published in 1979, this book is the result of a Wiese
family reunion. Initially, it was merely supposed to cover the
immediate family or the children of Fred and Hulda Wiese. However,
the search quickly expanded to encompass many more family members.
Much of the information was yielded by the living children and
grandchildren of Carl and Minna Wiese who came to the United States
from Germany in 1869, leaving a farm that had been registered since
1689 and is still in the possession of a Chris Wiese. This work is
full of well-documented facts such as: ship's logs, U.S. census
records, church records, and wills. It also includes a genealogical
table, citizenship papers, military records, emigration papers,
family bibles, marriage records, etc. Maps and family photographs
abound. Although the information contained within this book is a
good mix of "both hazy memories as well as documented evidence,"
the author suggests that the reader "take into consideration that
if time and age have distorted the facts and truths, these memories
are better than knowing nothing."
These abstracts include announcements of Masonic Lodge meetings,
legal notices, runaway slaves, marriages and deaths, religious and
community events, court proceedings, legal disputes, estate and tax

Mississippi and one of the oldest in the country. In this, the
