Free Will brings together the essential readings in the debate
about free will and determinism. Written by top scholars in the
field, the essays represent some of the clearest and most
accessible thinking on this subject. The introduction offers a
concise yet thorough mapping of this age-old debate as well as a
helpful overview of the selections. To what extent are we truly
free? Are our actions determined? If so, are we morally responsible
for our actions? And does such determinism necessarily conflict
with free will? This volume covers wide-ranging issues in the
debate about free will, including the distinction between freedom
of choice and freedom of will, moral responsibility, determinism,
and compatibility. This compact collection of some of the best and
most provocative writing on free will is ideal for anyone who wants
to explore this complex problem.
Principles of International Finance, first published in 1988,
provides a comprehensive introduction to international finance
which is rapidly becoming an increasingly important branch of
international economics. The book is structured so that it can
easily be adopted as a complete one-semester course in
international finance and is divided into the four major divisions
of international finance: The Foreign Exchange Market and the
Balance of Payments; Exchange Rate Systems; Equilibrium and the
Adjustment Process and The Post-War International Financial System.
This book is designed for economics and business undergraduates
studying international finance for the first time. It is
non-mathematical and presumes no more than a general background in
macroeconomics.

First English translation of a late fifteenth century manuscript
containing instructions for designing a medieval tapestry - the
only such to survive. The "Troyes Mémoire", a late
fifteenth-century manuscript preserved in the archives of the town
of Troyes, France, is the sole surviving example of the written
instructions used in designing tapestries during the Middle Ages.
It is unique in its presentation of detailed information on how
patrons and church officials communicated complex iconographic
material to the medieval artists commissioned to paint cartoons for
tapestries. It is here translated intoEnglish for the first time,
with full introduction and extensive notes. The volume also
includes a translation of another richly informative document from
medieval Troyes: the Account Books of the Church of
Sainte-Madeleine, whichintroduces us to the actual people who
worked together, between 1416 and 1430, to produce a set of
tapestries for the town's oldest church. They shed important new
light on an era when tapestry represented a supreme form of art.

This study investigated the expansion of the tertiary education
sub-sector and how it could be made developmentally oriented to
foster economic growth. The author gathered relevant data by means
of personal observation, archival studies and interviews with
government officials, academic staff, private industry management,
students, as well as, school administrators at private
institutions. The study revealed that science and technology
education is limited by the lack of resources which prevents most
students wishing to pursue these courses from doing so. Ayisi
asserts that this impedes economic development in Ghana. Lack of
efficient resources such as computers and science equipment impede
the production of essential technical, scientific and managerial
manpower to lead the economy. The outcome of this study encourages
full participation and integration of colleges, universities and
professional schools in local, state/regional, and national
economic planning.
La Querelle de la Rose: Letters and Documents is an English
language translation of the letters and documents written and
exchanged during the literary quarrel about Roman de la Rose. It
began in 1401 with a letter from Jean de Montreuil, the provost of
Lille and a member of the royal chancery to Christine de Pizan, and
an anonymous but notable cleric. The quarrel itself should be of
interest to readers of Roman de la Rose, of Medieval French
Scholars, and to scholars interested in feminism and conditions of
women in Medieval France. Baird and Kane's translation differs from
other translations in that it includes Christine de Pizan's 1399
Epistre au Dieu d'amours and that it follows the chronological
order of Potansky's 1972 German edition.
