Grant’s Dissector
Since 1940, when Dr. J.C. Boileau Grant created the first lab manual based on Grant’s method of dissection, Grant’s Dissector has clearly established its authority and preeminence as the “gold standard” of gross anatomy dissection manuals. In the last edition, the material was streamlined to focus on more accurate, specific and clear steps, based on market conditions and feedback. This edition continues to focus on the trend of reduced lab hours yet maintains the quality and reliability of Grant’s original manual. Grant’s Dissector, Fourteenth Edition features over 40 new figures to provide consistent appearance and include additional details, and is cross-referenced to the leading anatomy atlases, including Grant’s, Netter’s, Rohen, and Clemente.

Greenspan’s Taming of the Wave
During Alan Greenspan’s tenure at the US Federal Reserve Board the US economy has consistently outperformed expectations. Greenspan has not been panicked by recessionary pressures and has held faith in the view that, despite short term setbacks, the world economy is locked into a steady long-term upward cycle and is about to enter another “Golden Age” comparable to that of the late-19th century. The world’s rapid recovery from the 1998 Asian crisis supports the theory almost conclusively and has drawn considerable interest from the world’s financial and business community. This volume explains the theory, presents its historical context, shows how Greenspan has harnessed it, and predicts how the “Golden Age” might develop.
Group Dynamics
This revision has been thoroughly updated to reflect late-1990s research as well as the applications to organizational, industrial, educational, judiciary, athletic, and interpersonal settings. Donelson Forsyth builds each chapter around a separate, real-life case example and integrates various perspectives from other disciplines such as sociology, anthropology, education, and political science to achieve a comprehensive analysis of group behaviour. The concepts, woven with pedagogy, teach the students about group dynamics rather than simply exposing them to basic principles and research findings.
Growing a Private Business
Many companies start up and become successful on a small scale but they often find it difficult to get to the next level. This comprehensive text offers to guide management teams through all aspects – from raising the finance to exiting at the right time. Ian Smith demonstrates how, by keeping a check on key issues such as succession, growth, competitive position and infrastructure, a business can ensure that it is growing at the right rate and in the right way. He uses case studies to illustrate points which any business can adapt to their own situation.
Growth Divergences : Explaining Differences in Economic Performance
Unlike the 1950s and 1960s, when the rising tide of economic growth lifted most economies, the last three decades have been characterized by a paradox of greater international economic integration as well as divergent economic growth performances. The growing North-South gap of the last two centuries has been moderated recently by the better economic performance of China, India and others in East Asia, implying the expansion of the ‘middle income’ category.
This volume of analytical studies seeks to explain these major differences in economic performance in recent decades by considering the dynamics of international economic growth, diverging growth rates, economic structures, and sources of demand, successes and collapses in the developing world, and recent episodes of real income stagnation of countries. Several chapters critically review recent misleading claims and the conventional wisdom regarding the relationship of trade liberalization, financial development, development, aid, infrastructure spending, violent conflict, good g…
