One of the most troubling developments of the past two decades has been the dramatic rise in inequality among nations and within nations. This book examines the nature of this development in a variety of countries and contexts - China, Russia, Australia, Latin America, Italy - where the rise of inequality has not been studied as intensively as the US or UK. It also presents analyses of some potential causes and consequences of the rise in inequality.
Time series, or longitudinal, data are ubiquitous in the social
sciences. Unfortunately, analysts often treat the time series
properties of their data as a nuisance rather than a substantively
meaningful dynamic process to be modeled and interpreted. Time
Series Analysis for the Social Sciences provides accessible,
up-to-date instruction and examples of the core methods in time
series econometrics. Janet M. Box-Steffensmeier, John R. Freeman,
Jon C. Pevehouse and Matthew P. Hitt cover a wide range of topics
including ARIMA models, time series regression, unit-root
diagnosis, vector autoregressive models, error-correction models,
intervention models, fractional integration, ARCH models,
structural breaks, and forecasting. This book is aimed at
researchers and graduate students who have taken at least one
course in multivariate regression. Examples are drawn from several
areas of social science, including political behavior, elections,
international conflict, criminology, and comparative political
economy.
In 1925, Lewis R Freeman became a correspondent for the United
States Navy Fleet, living and working among them. Traveling all
around the Pacific Ocean, Freeman observed both the environment and
his fellow travelers. Separated into three sections, Stories of the
Ships is a collection of narratives about this time in Freeman's
life, depicting firsthand experiences and retelling the accounts
and tales of the men that served in the Navy around this time. The
first section, titled, Stories of the Ships introduces Freeman's
background as a correspondent and discusses the temperament of the
sailors. This section also includes the tale of an old ship that
sailed through most of the seven seas-the Cornwall. The next
section, Life in the Fleet chronicles Freeman's day-to-day
adventures, explaining his routines, responsibilities, and
revealing his conversations with the crew members and captains.
With nine chapters, this section contains the most stories and is
the largest section of the book. Finally, the last section before
the endnotes, America Arrives, examines the relationship between
America and other countries such as France and Britain through the
conversations and attitudes of the sailors from those other
countries. Freeman recounts several discussions where he was
referred to being unlike other Americans. With these three sections
and the endnotes, Stories of the Ships provides a thorough account
of the many years Lewis R. Freeman spent as a correspondent.
Through the depiction of real-life conversations and experiences
collected around the globe, Stories of the Ships by Lewis R.
Freeman is a fascinating narrative that gives modern day audiences
an intimate and authentic perspective on nautical life. With the
focus on the United States Navy Fleet, Freeman provides privileged
information on the innerworkings of the U.S Navy during the 20th
century. This edition of Stories of the Ships by Lewis R. Freeman
features a striking new cover design and is printed in a modern and
readable font. With these accommodations, Stories of the Ships is
restored to modern standards, while preserving the original mastery
of Lewis R. Freeman.

For undergraduate business ethics courses. The ethical training
business students need to be successful in today's challenging
business world. Recent scandals have created a mistrust that has
spread through the entire business sector, jeopardising public
confidence in the stock market and economy. Now more than ever,
it's important for students to understand the moral foundations,
rules, and implications that are vital to the core of business.
Business Ethics presents an in-depth introduction of business
ethics that emphasises the role of ethics as a critical part to
management success.
In recent years several improvements have been made in the
manufacturing of resistive, superconducting and hybrid mag nets.
Condensed matter physicists are nowadays doing ex periments in
steady magnetic fields of up to 30 Tesla. But the field homogenity
{/B}, required in a volume of the order of a 3 few cm is usually
several orders of magnitude less severe than the one which is
needed for high resolution NMR. Over the last 30 years, with each
generation of new high resolution NMR spectrometers, from 100 MHz
up to 600 MHz, taking advan tage of the increase in sensitivity and
resolution, new areas of research have been opened in chemistry,
physical chemistry and biochemistry. The generation of the 20 Tesla
supercon ducting magnets is coming. Thus one may seriously start to
consider high resolution NMR at 1 GHz. The purpose of this volume
is to examine some of the advantages which can be obtained at such
high frequencies and some of the problems we shall be facing. An
important aspect of NMR at high field which is not presented in
this volume concerns the design of the magnet. The building of a
superconducting magnet, producing a field 10 3 higher than 20 T,
with a field homogeneity IlB/B 10-, in a cm volume still remains
today in 1990 a major challenge. Grenoble, France J. B. Robert

Unlike much of the literature on Tourette syndrome disorders, this
book moves away from focusing on the tics and acknowledges that
sometimes it is the disorder, such as ADHD, DCD, and OCD, that is
the most pressing problem. Roger Freeman, considered a world expert
in developmental neurology, shares his vast experience on tic
disorders in an informal but highly informative style. He discusses
recent advances in the identification and management of tic
disorders that many clinicians may be unfamiliar with. Multiple
illustrative case histories address many of the mistaken
assumptions about tics that are made in everyday clinical practice.
Extensive reference lists provide a rich resource for the both the
clinician and the researcher. Paediatricians working in
neurodisability and child development, child and adolescent
psychiatrists and psychologist, neurologists and other health
professionals who manage patients with tic disorders will find this
book an excellent resource.
