Tax Simplification
Why are tax systems so complex? What are the causes of tax law complexity? What are the consequences? Why is tax simplification so difficult to achieve? These, and related questions, lie at the core of this volume on tax simplification featuring chapters by leading tax experts around the world. The quest for simplicity è^' or at least some move towards simplification è^' has been a fixation of governments and others for many years, but little appears to have been achieved. Tax simplification is the most widely quoted but the least widely observed of the usually stated goals of policy (equity and efficiency being the others). It has been used (and abused) as a primary justification for tax reform over the last century, and typically it is seen as è^-a good thingè^-- è^' to say that one is in favour of tax simplification is tantamount to stating that one is in favour of good as opposed to evil.

Motor Gasoline
In recent years there have been dramatic changes in the public perception of gasoline, or petrol, mainly as a result of concern about the environment. This has necessitated changes in the composition of the fuel itself, such that modified fuel is now mandatory in certain parts of the USA. These reduced-emission fuels have now reached Europe and elsewhere. Motor Gasoline provides the latest information on the legislation and technology involved for oil companies producing motor fuel, while looking at the implications for the industry and the benefits for the environment. It also looks at possible alternatives to fuels for spark ignition engines, the importance of which will grow as environmental pressure increases, and oil reserves are exhausted. Motor Gasoline should be read by all students of fossil fuel and other energy resources, as well as oil workers, engineers and environmentalists. It will also provide an enlightening read for anyone concerned about the ecological effects of the oil and car industries, amongst the most environmentally significant of all humanity's activities.
The Routledge Handbook of Indian Buddhist Philosophy
The Routledge Handbook of Indian Buddhist Philosophy is the first scholarly reference volume to highlight the diversity and individuality of a large number of the most influential philosophers to have contributed to the evolution of Buddhist thought in India. By placing the author at the center of inquiry, the volume highlights the often unrecognized innovation and multiplicity of India’s Buddhist thinkers, whose unique contributions are commonly subsumed in more general doctrinal presentations of philosophical schools. Here, instead, the reader is invited to explore the works and ideas of India’s most important Buddhist philosophers in a manner that takes seriously the weight of their p...

The book provides an impetus to think more deeply about the role chromosomes, and their abnormalities, play...
