A System of Social Science
The second edition of this guide to Adam Smith's system of thought has been fully updated to reflect recent developments in Smith scholarship and Professor Skinner's experience of teaching Smith to a student audience. The material from the first edition has been extensively rewritten, andfour new chapters have been added, covering Smith's essays on the exercise of human understanding, and his relationship to Francis Hutcheson, David Hume, and Sir James Steuart. Skinner places Smith's system of social, and moral, science firmly within the context of contemporary British andContinental intellectual history, dealing in particular detail with the founders of the Scottish Enlightenment and with the French Physiocrats.
Steel Frame
Epic tale of giant-robot battles, built around a personal story of redemption and healing. Fly Hard. Rook is a jockey, a soldier trained and modified to fly `shells, ' huge robots that fight for the outer regions of settled space. When her shell is destroyed and her squad killed, Rook is imprisoned, left stranded, scarred and broken. Hollow and helpless without her steel frame, she's ready to call it quits. When her cohort of prisoners are sold into indenture to NorCol, a vast frontier corporation, Rook's given another shell - a near-decrepit Juno, as broken as she is and decades older - and sent to a rusting bucket of a ship on the end of known space to patrol something called ""the Eye,"" a strange, unnerving permanent storm in space. But they're not alone.

Adam Smith
This reissued biography of Adam Smith, first published in 1982, presents both an intellectual and personal portrait of the man. It is not intended as a full-scale scholarly biography burdened with heavy footnotes. Although written by two of the world's foremost authorities on Adam Smith, the book is intended as an accessible study of a great thinker and philosopher which will help to introduce the reader to both his ideas and his period.
Essays on Adam Smith
This volume is published in conjunction with a new edition of all the works of Adam Smith, commissioned by the University of Glasgow to celebrate the bicentenary of The Wealth of Nations. As a part of the celebrations, it was also felt appropriate to publish a series of essays by contemporary students of Smith which would cover the main areas of his work, as distinct from simply concentrating on the economics. To this end, the first part is mainly concerned with the broadly philosophical and political aspects of Smith's contribution, the second, with the subject matter (by no means entirely economic) of The Wealth of Nations itself.
Knowledge, Social Institutions and the Division of Labour
'The complex interplay of the formation and communication of knowledge, the structure of social interaction, and the evolution of the division of labour, is here skilfully explored in a broad historical, philosophical and analytical framework by a truly international meeting of minds, enabling an encounter with great thinkers, past and present, commencing with Hume and Smith. A heady and unusual elixir, finely distilled, and to be slowly enjoyed if its sophisticated benefits are to be fully gathered by the reader.' - Peter Groenewegen, University of Sydney, Australia Knowledge, Social Institutions and the Division of Labour gives rise to a new and richer institutional analysis of the economy...

First published in 1776, Adam Smith's groundbreaking theories provide a recipe for national prosperity that has not been bettered since.

This keepsake edition is a selected abridgement of all five books, and includes an Introduction by Tom Butler-Bowdon, drawing out lessons for the contemporary reader, a Foreword from Eamonn Butler, Director of the Adam Smith Institute, and a Preface from Dr. Razeen Sally of the London School of Economics.

The Garden Tomb
On a Friday afternoon almost two thousand years ago, in an obscure part of the Roman empire, the crucified Son of God was laid to rest in a borrowed tomb outside Jerusalems city wall. Consumer with grief, his disciples did not realize that within three days, as the Jews measure time, earthshaking events would culminate in Jesus resurrection, the which they would all become eyewitnesses. The Garden Tomb tells the story of the Saviors burial, mission to the world of the spirits, and triumph over death all of which constitute the third act in the singular drama that was and is the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
