Review Conservation: Four volume set (Earthscan Reference Collections) / Earthscan Publications Ltd.:This four-volume set, edited by a leading expert on nature conservation, brings together in one collection a series of papers from around the world that are fundamental to understanding the social, political, cultural and scientific dimensions of conservation. Each volume is introduced by a new review essay, which both sets the scope for the collection and advances analytical understanding of conservation issues. Volume I covers the historical development of conservation ideas and reviews the diverse contemporary philosophical, ethical, cultural and practical arguments for conservation. Volume II addresses the core issue of conservation: the maintenance of living diversity in the face of human demands on the biosphere. The intention here is not to offer a sourcebook of conservation science, but to include the key texts that have changed the way conservation is understood and practiced. Volume III explores the overlaps and conflicts between conservation and development, and "win-win" solutions to conflicts between the two, including ideas of sustainable development. Volume IV presents work on conservation as an essentially political process, drawing chiefly on social science and, in particular, political ecology and environmental history. There is a substantial set overview and volume introductions by the editor which provide comprehensive treatment of the major themes, historical and current trends, and schools of thought–making it ideal for researchers.

Review IDC's Software Taxonomy, 2005 / IDC Research:This IDC study provides a detailed description of IDC's software market taxonomy. For 2005, the taxonomy includes 85 individual functional markets grouped within three primary segments: applications, application development and deployment, and system infrastructure software. Revenue is also segmented across four geographic regions and nine operating environments. Additionally, IDC defines a wide range of "competitive" markets. Competitive markets are combinations of whole or fractions of functional markets that reflect such market dynamics as the problem being solved or the technology on which the software is based. IDC's software market taxonomy is the basis for the relational multidimensional schema of the IDC Software Market Forecaster research database. The information from this continually updated database is used to generate consistent packaged software market sizing and forecasts. "IDC's software taxonomy represents a collectively exhaustive and mutually exclusive view of the worldwide software marketplace," said Dick Heiman, director, Global Software and Services Model and Forecast Management, and coauthor of the taxonomy study. "It continues to be the premier source for defining and categorizing packaged software. ".

Review Ergonomics: Major Writings / Routledge:Because of the "applied" nature of ergonomics, there are many outstanding pieces of work that have never been published in the archival literature, since they were written for contract work by commercial or governmental laboratories. In such cases the organization often put a relatively low premium on publication: people are encouraged to get on with the next contract. However, the contract reports are often available and have been circulated, but only to subsections of ergonomists who happen to know the people that did the work. The volumes collect some of those papers that have attained classical status, yet are difficult to obtain, making this a unique and valuable resource. Available as a set or as single volumes, the collection includes:Volume 1, The History and Scope of Human Factors-Begins with papers setting the historical context of ergonomics, and also includes several classical papers that indicate the scope and range of the disciple. Italso examines methodological issues, subjective scales and their uses and task analysis. [ISBN 0-415-32258-8]Volume 2, Skills, Displays, Controls and Mental Workload-Looks at skilled behavior, displays and workload. [ISBN 0-415-32259-6]Volume 3, Psychological Mechanisms and Models in Ergonomics-Examines psychological mechanism and models. [ISBN 0-415-32260-X]Volume 4, Manual Control, Industrial Processes and Automation-Deals with all facets of the engineering branch of ergonomics including; control theory, press control and manufacturing, and automation.

Review Collected Works of Robert Torrens / Thoemmes Continuum:Robert Torrens is now widely recognized as one of the major figures in the development of classical economics. In a publishing career spanning fifty years, Torrens made significant contributions to the discussion of every major economic issue of the first half of the nineteenth century and made extensive contributions to Ricardian economics. The 1820 edition of An Essay on the External Corn Trade contains one of the clearest expositions of the corn model. Even earlier, the 1815 edition of the Essay contains a statement of the principle of comparative advantage some four years before it appears in Ricardo's writings. However it is for his contributions to money and banking that Torrens is probably best remembered. He wrote on monetary questions throughout his life and came to particular prominence as the champion of the Currency School. His Letter to Lord Melbourne (1837) which appears here in volume seven is widely seen as leading to separation of the issue and banking departments of the Bank of England brought about by the Bank Charter Act of 1844. In many of his writings, Torrens is outstanding for the independence and originality of his thought. In the letters to Lord John Russell that form the core of the 1844 work The Budget, Torrens modifies the general classical theory of trade by arguing for 'reciprocity' rather than unilateral free trade. He also differed markedly from early classical economics, especially Smith, by arguing that colonies offered significant benefits to the colonial power. [+]Not only did colonies provide profitable investment opportunities to offset declining rates of profit at home, they also provided the ultimate solution to Malthusian overpopulation. Torrens' interest in colonisation went beyond theory, and he was extensively involved in the planning of the successful development of colonies in Australia. The experience of this is recorded in the extremely rare Colonization of South Australia, included in this set. This set collects all of Torrens's major economics writings. As well as including all of his published books, it gathers a wide range of shorter pieces, and many newspaper articles. Each volume contains a new introduction by the editor and the final volume is supplemented by an extensive bibliography, greatly extending and superseding the one in Robbins' 1958 study of Torrens. -the first collected works of this major economist -selects the best editions of the works and includes exceptionally rare items -eight new introductions to the volumes and extensive bibliography by Torrens scholar Giancarlo de Vivo.
