Festschrift in Honor of Peter Schmidt
From the Introduction: This volume is dedicated to the remarkable career of Professor Peter Schmidt and the role he has played in mentoring us, his PhD students. Peter’s accomplishments are legendary among his students and the profession. Each of the papers in this Festschrift is a research work executed by a former PhD student of Peter’s, from his days at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to his time at Michigan State University. Most of the papers were presented at The Conference in Honor of Peter Schmidt, June 30 - July 2, 2011. The conference was largely attended by his former students and one current student, who traveled from as far as Europe and Asia to honor Peter. ...
Advances in Applied Econometrics
This edited volume celebrates the profound legacy of Peter Schmidt, an eminent figure in econometric research. Originally featured as a Special Issue in Empirical Economics in 2023, this book gathers esteemed econometricians to honor Schmidt's influential work. His distinguished career encompassed pioneering contributions to various realms of econometrics, including time series and panel data econometrics, as well as stochastic frontier analysis. This Festschrift beautifully captures his synergy of theoretical innovation and empirical significance. Written by distinguished econometricians, the volume presents the state-of-the-art in econometrics, traversing Schmidt's diverse interests. It sp...
Making Alternative Histories
Drawing on recent scholarship, reconstructs the daily life of not only the ruling class, but of the rest of society, including the conquered peoples. Organization is in chapters covering all aspects of life: military and warfare, government, language, class structure, work and the economy, engineering and arc hitecture, housing, transportation, family life, life cycle events, women's roles, art, music and dance, literature, science, and religion. A timeline of Inca history and a glossary of Inca terms are included. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Econometrics
"A collection of proofs of fundamental theorems, this volume utilizes a format that is exhaustive and consistent. Every result covered in ``Econometrics''is proved as well as stated. One notation system is used throughout the volume. The topics included in the book cover such areas as estimations and testing in linear regression models under various sets of assumptions, and estimation and testing in simultaneous equations models. The latter subject is treated more extensively than in most econometrics books, and the entire volume is characterized by its rigorous level of examination. "
Methods in Physical Chemistry
Thanks to the progress made in instruments and techniques, the methods in physical chemistry have developed rapidly over the past few decades, making them increasingly valuable for scientists of many disciplines. These two must-have volumes meet the needs of the scientific community for a thorough overview of all the important methods currently used. As such, this work bridges the gap between standard textbooks and review articles, covering a large number of methods, as well as the motivation behind their use. A uniform approach is adopted throughout both volumes, while the critical comparison of the advantages and disadvantages of each method makes this a valuable reference for physical chemists and other scientists working with these techniques.
The Death of Prehistory
Since the eighteenth century, the concept of prehistory was exported by colonialism to far parts of the globe and applied to populations lacking written records. Prehistory in these settings came to represent primitive people still living in a state without civilization and its foremost index, literacy. Yet, many societies outside the Western world had developed complex methods of history making and documentation, including epic poetry and the use of physical and mental mnemonic devices. Even so, the deeply engrained concept of prehistory--deeply entrenched in European minds up to the beginning of the twenty-first century--continues to deny history and historical identify to peoples throughout the world. The fourteen essays, by notable archaeologists of the Americas, Africa, Europe, and Asia, provide authoritative examples of how the concept of prehistory has diminished histories of other cultures outside the West and how archaeologists can reclaim more inclusive histories set within the idiom of deep histories--accepting ancient pre-literate histories as an integral part of the flow of human history.
Phytopharmaceutical Technology
Drugs from plants are a major contribution to world health. Their production involves machinery, workers, quality control, standards, and legislation. Phytopharmaceutical Technology is a practical reference volume that provides the basic information necessary to select and operate machinery and to process plant products through to the desired liquid, solid, or powdered drug form. As a result, much of the book is devoted to the production process. Topics discussed include plants and plant parts; converting plants to medicinal forms; tips on handling incoming plant materials, including quality, pests, residues, analytical techniques and legislation; solvents for extraction, chemical data and n...
