Liberty Fund Inc, 1977. Paperback. New. New in publisher's shrink wrap. Adam Smith s political economy, as we shall endeavor to show, has meaning for all times, and indeed in many ways even the modern era has not yet caught up with it. -E. G. West, in his Prefatory Note.Adam Smith, author of The Wealth of Nations, was no dry pedant. His lectures and writings are alive with examples taken from the busy eighteenth-century world around him, and Edmund Burke praised his literary style as rather painting than writing. It was Adam Smith who taught moral philosophy and literary criticism to Boswell at the University of Glasgow, and in Smith s works we follow his interests from political history to law, sociology, economic and social history, philosophy, and English literature. E. G. West brings to life Adam Smith s first years in the bustling Scottish seaport of Kirkcaldy (and recounts Smith s brief kidnapping, as a baby, by gypsies). We follow young Smith as a student, watch his thought develop as Professor of Moral Philosophy at Glasgow, and enjoy with him the hospitality of David Hume, the Parisian literary salons, Johnson, Burke, Gibbon, and other giants of the era. West gives us a masterful summary of The Wealth of Nations. Even more significant, West restores to eminence an earlier work of Smith s, The Theory of Moral Sentiments. If The Wealth of Nations had never been written, he asserts, this previous work would have earned for him a prominent place in intellectual history. West takes particular delight in using The Theory of Moral Sentiments to rebut Marx s assumptions about laissez-faire capitalism. E. G. West was educated at the University College of Exeter, graduating in economics in 1948. He has taught at several British colleges and at Carleton University in Ottawa, and has been a visiting research scholar at the University of Chicago and the University of California at Berkeley and a visiting professor at the Center for Study of Public Choice, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University. Dr. West authored several books including Education and the State and Education and the Industrial Revolution. His articles have appeared in numerous periodicals and scholarly journals. New copy. Paperback. Full refund if not satisfied., Liberty Fund Inc, 1977, 6, Paperback. New. Economics For Everyone Ninth Edition contains the most recent economic data available from the federal government, including Gross Domestic Product, The Money Supply and Employment data for 2018 and the President's 2020 Budget. The information is presented in easy to understand terms using both tables and graphs to inhance learning. The book also examines the evolution of economic thought and the historical events that have affected the economic growth of the world's industrialized countries. The major theories of micro and macroeconomics are discussed, but the primary emphasis is how these theories were developed and taught by those economists who invented them in the first place. The main purpose of the book is to see economics as a reflection of the world in which specific economic ideas have developed over time.

Cloth, small 4to, 22 cm,. x, 166 pp, 24 plates. Engineering Design is an art, based on knowledge of many kinds and the ability to conceive and carry through a projectto completion. creative design involves working at the frontier of knowledge and pushing into the unknown, in order to achieve the aims of the designer. An engineer uses as much formalised science as is available to aid him, but relies, for the greater part of his design, planning, and execution of works, on that great body of much more incoherent knowledge which lies at the base of all human action. The designer plans work to be carried out by and for men, and is dependent for his resources upon all aspects and institutions of organised society. It is the purpose of this book, by taking a brief backward look at the history of engineering activities, to assess the present-day position of the engineering designer, his contributions to society, and his responsibilities. An attempt is made to stress the unity of human knowledge and aspirations: civilisation advances as a whole, though vitally dependent upon those who design and construct great engineering works. There is a unity in engineering which overrides all divisions, but the traditional distinctions have some validity, and are retained. The aim throughout is to draw attention to the position of the engineer and what he had to work with at different periods. The first eleven chapters have given a general picture of engineering in its human context, its origins, and its developments, with considerable selected technical detail. Chapters 12 to 19 go on to treat eight particular topics of great importance in engineering design. The final four chapters attempt to draw the reader's thoughts to the role of theory in engineering practice, to trends in training engineers, to the actual process of design, and to the role which the engineer has played and can play in society; in each case the history is referred to, but modern developments are stressed. There is something uniquely creative in the engineering attitude. All engineers are essentially designers, if the term is considered to include planning work and running jobs. The engineer must have a wide acquaintance with, appreciation of, and a respect for all kinds of human knowledge, including that originating in the trades and crafts as well as the sciences; he must be aware of the goals usually included in humanistic studies, and be in touch with political, legal, commercial, and economic thought and trends. All this he must imaginatively combine to specify the full details of a design which can be actually carried out by engineers, craftsmen, and workers of all kinds. The purpose of this book is not to give general factual historical data (that is well covered elsewhere), but to present a viewpoint on the attitude and the role of the engineering designer.

''This book offers a quick and basic guide to using SPSS and provides a general approach to solving problems using statistical tests. It is both comprehensive in terms of the tests covered and the applied settings it refers to, and yet is short and easy to understand. The author does not use mathematical formulae and leaves out arcane statistical concepts. Instead, he provides a very practical, easy and speedy introduction to data analysis, offering examples from a range of scenarios from applied science, handling both continuous and rough-hews data sets. Examples are given from agriculture, arboriculture, audiology, biology, computer science, ecology, engineering, epidemiology, farming and team management, medicine, psychotherapy and more., CSIRO Publishing, 2013., 2.5, Longman Group Limited, London, first edition, 1971.
