Review Petroleum and Basin Evolution: Insights from Petroleum Geochemistry, Geology and Basin Modeling / Springer:This book is a mosaic of important building blocks bringing together the evolution of petroleum and the dynamic geological framework of sedimentary basins. Both basin modeling and organic geochemistry serve important roles in this context. Geochemical data and interpretation results, such as on source rock maturity and petroleum generation and expulsion, can now be extended in their application from only single boreholes to entire regions by means of basin modeling. Earth scientists in general will be attracted by the philosophy and approach presented in this book. It paves the way for combining the insight and views into the subsurface from modern seismic's advanced interpretation and visualization, with the understanding and results from an interactive basin modeling capability.

Review Irving Fisher (Critical Responses) / Routledge:Irving Fisher was one of America's greatest mathematical economists - and certainly one of the most colourful. During his career, he made numerous contributions to mathematical economics, capital theory, monetary theory, and statistics. The now familiar distinction between stocks and flows is almost entirely due to Fisher's "The Nature of Capital and Income", and similarly, his theory of money and prices is the foundation of much contemporary monetary economics. An influential and controversial figure during his lifetime, Fisher's work remains accessible and useful to students of economics today. This impressive collection brings together key contemporary responses to Fisher's work, along with later assessments of his main contributions. Also including a new introduction to the collection and individual volume introductions by the editor, this unique set is undoubtedly a valuable research resource for both student and scholar.

Review The Political Economy of Slavery (History of American Thought) / Thoemmes Continuum:The African American slave trade was widely discussed in print both before and during the American Civil War, and most of the abolitionist arguments were often understandably, purely moral in nature. A few writers, however, attempted to bolster the moral argument against slavery and the slave trade with a pragmatic one-namely, that slavery weakened the American economy. This set is a collection of the leading nineteenth-century texts on the subject by authors such as abolitionist Sir Thomas Fowell Buxton, Irish economist John Elliott Cairnes, and American economists Henry Carey and Thomas Ellison.

Review Eco-Socialism or Eco-Capitalism?: A Critical Analysis of Humanity's Fundamental Choices / Zed Books:This major synoptic work is remarkable for its author’s holistic treatment of the environment and social justice as inescapably related questions. He refuses to analyze the industrialized and developing countries as though they are so different that any understanding of the one can ignore the other. Saral Sarkar argues that the USSR bumped up against environmentally defined and resource-related limits to growth at a relatively early stage; but this does not mean that a free market, globalized capitalist economy will indefinitely escape a similar fate. Nor will a modified "eco-capitalism," as promoted by some sections of the Western environmental movement, provide a sufficiently grounded solution to the twin problems of environmental destruction and social injustice. The author looks, therefore, to a fundamentally different future-one in which our very notion of progress is differently conceived.

Review Rents, Rent-Seeking and Economic Development: Theory and Evidence in Asia / Cambridge University Press:Rent-seeking is about buying influence, which can range from lobbying to corruption. The concepts of rents and rent-seeking are central to any discussion of the processes of economic development. Yet conventional models of rent-seeking are unable to explain how it can drive decades of rapid growth in some countries, and at other times be associated with spectacular economic crises. This book argues that the rent-seeking framework has to be radically extended if it is to explain the anomalous role played by rent-seeking in Asian countries.
