The subject of hypnosis has not lost any of its ability to
fascinate and intrigue - and this holds equally true for both the
layperson and the student of hypnotic behavior. Phenomena of
hypnosis range from simple tasks involving ideomotor response to
more complex tasks involving substantial distortions of perceived
reality such as age regression, hallucination, and amnesia.
Obviously, with a topic so diverse and so interesting, there are
plenty of books around. Originally published in 1982, what makes
this title stand out is the authors' focus: instead of trying to
survey the whole field and evaluate the full spectrum of theories
about hypnosis, they hone in on specific points of view with the
aim of illustrating the nature of hypnotic phenomena.
Originally published in 1976, this title looks closely at the
current nature of controls in hypnosis research at the time and
tries to assess what they contributed to our knowledge of hypnosis.
Specifically, the book analyses the contributions to our
understanding of hypnotic phenomena offered by the application of
six contemporary methodologies, or paradigms, of hypnosis. The
primary concern is with those paradigms that are experimental,
rather than clinical, in orientation, and which had emerged over
the previous decade as coherent programmatic collections of
procedural strategies, all of them associated with distinct and
important views of how hypnotic behaviour can best be explained.

This book reviews the contemporary issues in international monetary
and financial economics (such as financial liberalisation, crisis,
exchange rate determination, capital control, domestic capital
market reform, etc.) in an emerging financial market such as
Thailand from a welfare economic p- spective, highlighting the
social welfare implications of these issues. This 3 book also
suggests a normative social approach (as formalised in the new
welfare economics paradigm) (see Islam 2001a, b for a discussion of
this; concept) for analysing and addressing these issues and
formulating appr- riate policies. Undertaking the above tasks, the
asymmetric information paradigm 3 and other elements of the new
welfare economics paradigm are adapted in analysing the
international financial issues of Thailand, their causes and
economic and social welfare consequences. The last two decades have
been a critical period for Thailand's dev- opment. From the
mid-1980s to the beginning of the 1990s, the Thai economy performed
remarkably well and was a showcase for the world economy. Having
achieved a double-digit growth rate for a brief period, Thailand in
the late 1980s was regarded as the fastest growing economy in the
world by the World Bank and the IMF. With prospects of further
rapid economic growth, the Thai government accepted Article VIII of
the IMF, which required Thailand to liberalise and deregulate its
financial system.

This book presents a history of Old Cairo based on new
archaeological evidence gathered between 2000 and 2006 during a
major project to lower the groundwater level affecting the churches
and monuments of this area of Cairo known by the Romans as Babylon.
Examination of the material and structural remains revealed a
sequence of continuous occupation extending from the sixth century
BC to the present day. These include the massive stone walls of the
canal linking the Nile to the Red Sea, and the harbor constructed
by Trajan at its entrance around ad 110. The Emperor Diocletian
built the fortress of Babylon around the harbor and the canal in ad
300, and much new information has come to light concerning the
construction and internal layout of the fortress, which continues
to enclose and define the enclave of Old Cairo. Important evidence
for the early medieval transformation of the area into the nucleus
of the Arab city of al-Fustat and its later medieval development is
also presented.
