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

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,

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 . . .
