This book of new essays investigates the category of the post-colonial as a theoretical concept, discourse, and state of mind. In an international forum of both literary critics and writers, these essays look at contemporary writing in English throughout the world in an attempt to revision the current critical practice of post-colonial studies. Structured as a dialogue between different views, Critics and Writers Speak will add to the self-reflexivity among post-colonial critics, extending the debate and stimulating dialogue about the future of post-colonial studies.

Input-Output economic analysis, developed by Wassily Leontief, for which he won the Nobel Prize, continues to be an active area of research. Not only do academics find it a powerful tool in understanding how large-scale economies-especially national economies-work, but many governments maintain computer input-output models to study their own economies. This is a volume of modern research using the I-O model focusing on technology, planning, and development. Contributors: S. De Boer, G. Broesterhuizen, Chia-Yon Chen, E. Fontela, A. Ghosh, A. G.

This 1998 book presents the econometric analysis of single-equation and simultaneous-equation models in which the jointly dependent variables can be continuous, categorical, or truncated. Despite the traditional emphasis on continuous variables in econometrics, many of the economic variables encountered in practice are categorical (those for which a suitable category can be found but where no actual measurement exists) or truncated (those that can be observed only in certain range). Such variables are involved, for example, in models of occupational choice, choice of tenture in housing, and choice of type of schooling. Models with regulated prices and rationing and models for program evaluation also represent areas of application for the techniques presented by the author.

John Fincher's paintings of towering poplars, pine limbs set against crystalline skies, richly hued desert hillsides and cropped prickly pears unravel the manifold cultural meanings inscribed within representations of the mythic American West. This is the first comprehensive volume dedicated to Fincher's 40-year career.

Essays by prominent scholars and organists examine the music of Franck and other nineteenth-century French organist-composers through stylistic analysis, study of compositional process, and exploration of how ideas about organ technique and performance-practice traditions developed and became codified. Nineteenth-century French organ music attracts an ever-increasing number of performers and devotees. The music of Cesar Franck and other distinguished composers-Boely, Guilmant, Widor-and the impact upon this repertoire of the organ-building achievements of Aristide Cavaille-Coll, are here explored through stylistic analysis, the study of the compositional process, and the exploration of how ideas about organ technique and performance practice traditions developed and became codified. New consideration is also given to the political and cultural contexts within which Franck and other French organist-composers worked. Contributors: Kimberley Marshall, William J. Peterson,Benjamin van Wye, Craig Cramer, Jesse E. Eschbach, Karen Hastings-Deans, Marie-Louise Jaquet-Langlasi, Daniel Roth, Edward Zimmerman, Lawrence Archbold, Rollin Smith

Seven chapters offer Bible verses and discussion questions about "a life of joy," "material abundance," "over-indulgence," "Living simply," "money," "ways in which we are handled by our stuff," and "ethics." We'll wrestle with our personal finances, seeking always to discern the will of God. Jesus spoke of money five times as often as prayer. His interest in wealth was not in its pursuit, but in the danger it posed to Christian discipleship . . .
