Revenue and expenditure forecasting plays an important role in
public budgeting and financial management, particularly during
times of financial constraint, when citizens impose greater
accountability upon government to use taxpayer dollars more
efficiently. Despite its significance, revenue and expenditure
forecasting is often overlooked in the budget process, and there is
an imbalance between practice and research in this area. Based on
the collaboration of budget scholars and practitioners, Government
Budget Forecasting fulfills two purposes- Enhances the
understanding of revenue and expenditure estimation both
theoretically and practically Stimulates dialogue and debate among
practitioners and academicians to identify good forecast practices
as well as areas for improvement
Divided into four parts, this comprehensive reference first
examines forecast practices at the federal, state, and local
levels, utilizing case studies that include California, Texas, and
Louisiana. It then explores consensus systems and risk assessment,
considering political factors and the costs of forecast errors. The
text concludes with a call to transparency and guidance from a code
of ethics, and a look at forecasting practices in emerging
countries.
This book explores Russia's stunning success of ushering in the space age by launching Sputnik and beating the United States into space. It also examines the formation of NASA, the race for human exploration of the moon, the reality of global satellite communications, and a new generation of scientific spacecraft that began exploring the universe. An introductory essay by Pulitzer Prize winner Walter A. McDougall sets the context for Sputnik and its significance at the end of the twentieth century.

Robert W. Smith has scored a hit with this Irish treatment, based
on the holiday classic "What Child Is This?." Beginning with a
piccolo solo staged over the tuba, the work builds to a frenzy.
This year's most exciting holiday choice. (2: 35)
Ceremonium was written as a concert opener or festival work to give
the young performing band a taste of 'real music.' It serves as an
exceptional vehicle to teach the concepts of phrasing, articulation
and key modification. The composer's trademark flowing melodies and
countermelodies are always apparent. Vibrant, yet sophisticated!
In the years between 1900 and 1931 astronomers witnessed three
startling changes in their view of the Universe. First, the
accepted value of the size of the star system, which increased by a
factor of ten; secondly, evidence forced the acceptance of the fact
that there are other star systems beyond our own Galaxy; and
lastly, that observation of these external galaxies disclosed the
expansion of the Universe. This book, originally published in 1982,
describes and explains in detail these shifts in opinion,
considering them in the light of theories and ideas on the nature
of the Universe, were current at the beginning of the twentieth
century. Archive material is used to provide major interpretations
of several of the processes and events associated with these shifts
such as the 'Great Debate' between Harlow Shapley and H. D. Curtis
in 1920 on 'The scale of the Universe'. This book with be of
interest to professional and amateur astronomers as well as
historians of science.

Master the Chinese martial art of T'ai Chi with this accessible,
illustrated guide. T'ai-chi (Tai Chi) is an effortless and
rhythmical art that stresses slow breathing, balanced and relaxed
postures, and absolute calmness of mind. It requires no special
equipment or place to practice and takes no more than ten minutes a
day. This book, from renowned Tai Chi master, Cheng Man-Ch'ing,
introduces T'ai-chi as a means to a healthier life, as a sport and
as a method of self-defense. It is a complete step-by-step manual
for the beginner. With conscientious practice, readers will master
the sequence of thirty-seven postures that will make up the
T'ai-chi solo exercise. Students will learn how to progress from
exercise to sport to self-defense with maximum efficiency. The
instructions are clear and easy to follow, and more than 275
photographs and 122 foot-weighting diagrams guarantee an
understanding of the correct form. A history of T'ai-chi, including
thumbnail sketches of famous masters, and the first English
translation of the basic T'ai-chi document, known as the T'ai-chi
Ch'uan Classics, are also included.
The Sound and the Fury was inspired by the literary work of the
same name by William Faulkner, known for his epic portrayal of the
conflicts between the old and new South. Opening with a vibrant
drama of punctuating thrusts in strings, winds, and percussion, the
mood only shifts when we move to a lyrical and ambient section of
contrasting sounds. Powerful strokes return, moving to a dramatic
conclusion. A superior choice for concert or contest with
guaranteed stunning audience appeal. (1: 58)
The period between 1775 and 1815 could be called the critical
period of American foreign relations. At no time in American
history was the existence of the republic in greater physical
peril. Questions of foreign policy dominated American public life
in a way unequalled until World War II. From the American
Revolution through the War of 1812, the United States was a small
power confronted by great powers hostile to each other and to the
United States. Furthermore, the era was dominated by two great
revolutions that reshaped the Atlantic world. The problem for
American diplomats and foreign policymakers was to preserve the
United States, both as an independent nation and as a republic, in
a decidedly unequal contest with the great powers.According to
Robert W. Smith, the question of American power lay at the heart of
the debate over independence. The radicals believed that the
American spirit and market were enough, and favored rapid
independence and an aggressive promotion of neutral rights. The
moderates doubted American power, and were inclined to move slowly
and only with assured French assistance. By the end of the American
Revolution, the moderates had won the debate. But their victory
masked the defects of the confederation, until the diplomatic
humiliations of the 1780s forced the United States to create a
government that could properly harness American economic and
military power. The debate over the power of the United States to
reshape a hostile world remains as central today as in 1776.
The Inferno is the first movement of Robert W. Smith's
four-movement work The Divine Comedy based on Dante Alighieri's
literary classic of the same name. Dante's vision of hell consists
of nine concentric circles divided into four categories of sin.
This first movement of the epic work uses visual imagery with huge
blocks of sound and explosive winds and percussion. Colossal in
scope! (7: 20) (Movement four - The Ascension - BD01085)
A stunning work of gigantic proportion -- filled with the mystery,
the fire and the intrigue of the Dark Continent. A large percussion
section will give this composition its drive. Robert suggests that
all available percussionists encircle the audience in the final
section, drawing the audience inside the worship circle.
How did the ideology that inspired the American Revolution and the
U.S. Constitution translate into foreign policy? John Adams, Thomas
Jefferson, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton each struggled
with this question as they encountered foreign powers. The French
Revolution, the purchase of the Louisiana Territory, and the
illegal seizures of U.S. ships and sailors on the high seas all
brought diplomatic challenges. In the process of developing foreign
policy, the founding generation refined the meaning of
republicanism. In Keeping the Republic, Robert W. Smith identifies
three contending brands of republicanism-classical, whig, and
yeoman-that shaped the founders' thinking. Jefferson and Madison
pursued a yeoman republicanism with its faith in economic sanctions
rather than military might as a means of diplomacy. Nations
dependent upon American agricultural exports, they thought, would
bow to American interests. Both Adams and Hamilton, originally
admirers of classical republicanism and its belief in public
virtue, came to adopt a whig republicanism that applied the
balance-of-power principle, exemplified by the three branches of
the federal government, to the international community. In this
view, nations should have equal naval power. Ideology had real
consequences: Jefferson's insistence on imposing a trade embargo
rather than considering alternative solutions resulted in the War
of 1812. This process of translating ideology into foreign policy,
so ably described in Keeping the Republic, continues to shape
American international relations in the twenty-first century.
This brilliant new work at the young level by master composer
Robert W. Smith begins with a characteristic fanfare with an
elegant ballad-like section. The rhythms sounds hard but are easy
to conquer. A stirring new work! (3: 23)
