New Materials in Support of the Economics Curriculum

	A farewell to alms : a brief economic history of the world Clark, Gregory, 1957- 330.9 C58FA This work argues against prevailing theories that geography and natural resources are chiefly responsible for the wealth and success of nations (see Jared Diamond's Guns, Germs and Steel). Countering the prevailing theory that the Industrial Revolution was sparked by the sudden development of stable political, legal, and economic institutions in seventeenth-century Europe, Clark shows that such institutions existed long before industrialization. He argues instead that these institutions gradually led to deep cultural changes by encouraging people to abandon hunter-gatherer instincts-violence, impatience, and economy of effort-and adopt economic habits-hard work, rationality, and education.

	OECD regions at a glance 338.54 OR45R Just 10% of regions accounted for more than half of total employment creation in most OECD countries between 1998 and 2003. This means that national growth tends to be driven by the dynamism of a small number of regions. Policy makers need sound statistical information on the source of regional competitiveness, but such information is not always available. Sub-national data are limited and regional indicators are difficult to compare between countries. This publication aims to fill this gap by analyzing and comparing major territorial patterns and regional trends across OECD countries. It assesses the impact of regions on national growth. It identifies unused resources that can be mobilized to improve regional competitiveness, and it tackles more intangible factors that can make the difference: it shows how regions compete in terms of well-being (access to higher education, health services, safety etc.). It presents over 30 indicators in a reader-friendly format. Each indicator is illustrated by graphs and maps. A dynamic link (StatLink) is provided for each graph and map, which directs the user to a web page where the corresponding data are available in Excel.--Publisher's description.

	A companion to Federico Garcia Lorca 861 G16ZB A Companion to Federico Garcia Lorca provides a clear, critical appraisalof the issues and debates surrounding the work of Spain's most celebrated poet and dramatist. It considers past and current approaches to the study of Lorca, and also suggests new directions for further investigation. An introduction on the often contentious subject of Lorca's biography is followed by five chapters - poetry, theatre, music, drawing and cinema - which together acknowledge the polymath in Lorca. A further three chapters - religion, gender and sexuality, and politics - complete the volume by covering important thematic concerns across a number of texts, concerns which must be considered in the context of the iconic status that Lorca has acquired and against the background of the cultural shifts affecting his readership. The Companion is a testament to Lorca's enduring appeal and, through its explication of texts and investigation of the man, demonstrates just why he continues, and should continue, to attract scholarly interest. Federico Bonaddio lectures in Modern Spanish Studies at King's College London. Contributors: Federico Bonaddio, Jacqueline Cockburn, Nigel Dennis, Christopher Maurer, Alberto Mira, Antonio Monegal, Chris Perriam, Xon De Ros, Eric Southworth, D. Gareth Walters, Sarah Wright.

	Five days in August : how World War II became a nuclear war Gordin, Michael D. 940.54 G67FI "Most Americans believe that the Second World War ended because the two atomic bombs dropped on Japan forced it to surrender. Five Days in August boldly presents a different interpretation: that the military did not clearly understand the atomic bombs revolutionary strategic potential, that the Allies were almost as stunned by the surrender as the Japanese were by the attack, and that not only had experts planned and fully anticipated the need for a third bomb, they were skeptical about whether the atomic bomb would work at all. With these ideas, Michael Gordin reorients the historical and contemporary conversation about the A-bomb and World War II." Check Amazon by ISBN | Check Amazon by Title
