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.
At one time, many children born with congenital heart disease (CHD)
suffered from issues that carried fatal prognoses. But that's
changing, thanks to technological advances. Interventions in
Structural, Valvular, and Congenital Heart Disease, Second Edition
guides you throught the interventional treatment of congenital,
valvular, and structural heart disease in the children and adults.
The book emphasizes the practical aspects of procedures and covers
other important areas such as indications and patient selection,
potential pitfalls, and complications. See What's New in the Second
Edition: Contributions from new authors who are pioneers in
structural interventions in adults and transcatheter aortic valve
replacement Expanded emphasis on the importance of imaging
alongside the technical details of equipment and its safe and
effective delivery Coverage of emerging techniques at the forefront
of interventional treatment such as fetal interventions, hybrid
procedures, and mitral valve repair Greater understanding,
technical knowhow, and wider availability of catheters, balloons,
delivery systems, and devices have spread intervention into the
realm of acquired valve disease, degenerative disease of the aorta,
paravalve leakage, postinfarction ventricular septal defects, and
closure of the left atrial appendage. The book draws together
expert interventionists from throughout the world to present
approaches to congenital and structural heart disease that results
in better outcomes for patients.
Percutaneous Interventions for Congenital Heart Disease is written
for pediatric cardiologists specializing in interventional
cardiology and need a step-by-step guide to carrying out
procedures, as well as adult cardiologists. Covering all kinds of
interventions in congenital heart disease and the new field of
structural heart disease, the book examines: Acquired valvular
heart disease Post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defects
PFO closure Closure of the left atrial appendage Paravalvular leak
closure Techniques for treating diseases of the aorta Hybrid
procedures An essential text on how to perform interventional
cardiology for congenital heart disease in both the pediatric and
adult patient, this expertly written work will help to overcome
barriers between pediatric and adult cardiologists, and pave the
way for new cardiovascular interventionalists.
Written for pediatric cardiologists who want to specialize in
interventional cardiology and need a step-by-step guide to carrying
out procedures, this practical text is also aimed at adult
cardiologists who want to learn more than just 'shooting for the
coronaries'.
Addressing this need, all kinds of interventions in congenital
heart disease and the new field of 'structural heart disease' are
covered, including
acquired valvular heart disease
post-myocardial infarction ventricular septal defects
PFO closure
closure of the left atrial appendage
paravalvular leak closure
techniques to treat diseases of the aorta
hybrid procedures
The only recent text on how to perform interventional cardiology
for congenital heart disease in both the pediatric and adult
patient, this expertly written work will help to overcome barriers
between pediatric and adult cardiologists, and pave the way for a
new specialist, the cardiovascular interventionalist.
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 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.

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
sales, military appointments, elections, epidemics, mur
