This collection of essays was commissioned for the fiftieth
anniversary of the incorporation of accountants in Scotland, the
country in which accountants were first chartered. It attempts to
trace the origin and growth of the profession relating to accounts,
auditing, and bookkeeping. Topics include ancient systems of
accounting; early Italian accountants; accounting in Scotland,
England, Ireland, Europe, the British colonies, and the United
States; and the future of the profession. Edited by Richard Brown,
contributors include John S. Mackay, Edward Boyd, J. Row Fogo,
Joseph Patrick, and Alexander Sloan.
In 1991 this author published a monograph l] based on his
experience teaching microwave hybrid materials and processing
technology at the annual ISHM (now the International
Microelectronics and Packaging Society, IMAPS) symposia. Since that
time, the course has been presented at that venue and on-site at a
number of industrial and government organizations. The course has
been continually revised to reflect the many evolutionary changes
in materials and processes. Microwave technology has existed for
almost 175 years. It was only after the invention of the klystron,
just before World War II, that microwave design and manufacture
moved from a few visionaries to the growth the industry sees today.
Over the last decade alone there have been exploding applications
for all types of high frequency electronics in the miltary,
automotive, wireless, computer, telecommunications and medical
industries. These have placed demands, unimaginable a decade ago,
on designs, materials, processes and equipment to meet the ever
expanding requirements for increasingly reliable, smaller, faster
and lower cost circuits.
As in the days following Skylab, solar physics came to the end of
an era when the So lar Maximum Mission re-entered the earth's
atmosphere in December 1989. The 1980s had been a pioneering decade
not only in space- and ground-based studies of the solar atmosphere
(Solar Maximum Mission, Hinotori, VLA, Big Bear, Nanc;ay, etc.) but
also in solar-terrestrial relations (ISEE, AMPTE), and solar
interior neutrino and helioseismol ogy studies. The pace of
development in related areas of theory (nuclear, atomic, MHD,
beam-plasma) has been equally impressive. All of these raised
tantalizing further questions about the structure and dynamics of
the Sun as the prototypical and best observed star. This Advanced
Study Institute was timed at a pivotal point between that decade
and the realisation of Yohkoh, Ulysses, SOHO, GRANAT, Coronas, and
new ground-based optical facilities such as LEST and GONG, so as to
teach and inspire the up and coming young solar researchers of the
1990s. The topics, lecturers, and students were all chosen with
this goal in mind, and the result seems to have been highly
successful by all reports."
This volume is product of the third online consciousness
conference, held at http: //consciousnessonline.com in February and
March 2011. Chapters range over epistemological issues in the
science and philosophy of perception, what neuroscience can do to
help us solve philosophical issues in the philosophy of mind, what
the true nature of black and white vision, pain, auditory,
olfactory, or multi-modal experiences are, to higher-order theories
of consciousness, synesthesia, among others. Each chapter includes
a target article, commentaries, and in most cases, a final response
from the author. Though wide-ranging all of the papers aim to
understand consciousness both from the inside, as we experience it,
and from the outside as we encounter it in our science.
The Online Consciousness Conference, founded and organized by
Richard Brown, is dedicated to the rigorous study of consciousness
and mind. The goal is to bring philosophers, scientists, and
interested lay persons together in an online venue to promote
high-level discussion and exchanging of views, ideas and data
related to the scientific and philosophical study of
consciousness.

Originally published in 1973 Knowledge, Education and Cultural
Change surveys the present state of the field of the sociology of
education. The book addresses the claim that much of the research
in the sociology of education should be extended to issues of wider
theoretical significance, the book provides theoretically informed
analysis of situations or processes, developing new theoretical
perspectives and concepts. The papers also reflect the appropriate
theoretical framework for the sociology of education. Underpinning
this framework, it looks at the importance of social
stratification, arguing that too much work in the sociology of
education is carried out using oversimplified models.
This book provides an excellent introduction to the sociology of
industry. It comprises of three sections, which in turn address:
the relation between industry and other sub-systems or institutions
in society; the internal structure of industry and the roles people
play within that structure; the social actions of individuals and
groups within an organisational structure. It is an excellent
resource for students of sociology who have an interest in its
application to the 'world of work'.
