Smith S., Taxation — 2015 (Very short introductions. 428)

Tax revenues pay for many public services, including roads, health care, and education. However, it has become a contentious political issue of public debate. In this Very Short Introduction, Stephen Smith explains its history and its main principles; arguing that we'd all benefit from an understanding of the role of taxation in society.

Todaro M. P., Economic Development — 2006

Todaro and Smith believe that development economics should foster a student's ability to understand real problems faced by developing countries. Unlike other texts, Economic Development introduces economic models within the context of countries and issues, so that students learn to analyze and engage in the ongoing policy debates. Praised for its even, balanced coverage, the text helps students to evaluate issues using the best available cross-sectional data, economic theory, and institutional and structural perspectives. Keeping pace with current data and events, the Ninth Edition includes the latest research in development as well as extensive country-specific examples of topics such as transition economics and urban policy. - Reorganization from four parts to three provides a more streamlined sequencing for economic development courses. - All new country case studies target pertinent issues, such as Divergent Development: Pakistan and Bangladesh and Understanding a Development Miracle: China. Thoroughly updated and revised comparison case studies provide the most current illustrations of policy and its outcomes. major development organizations. - New research on rural development economics and the green revolution in Chapter 9. - Extended coverage of non-governmental organizations and how they compare with government and private sectors in Chapter 11, Political Economy and the Roles of Market. - Chapter 14 takes a critical look at the World Bank and the burden of debt.

Smith S., Underground England. Travels Beneath Our Cities And Countryside — 2010

As a companion and guide, he is well-informed, cheery and indefatigable; as a writer,he is given to flowery phrasemaking ('steepling piles— and 'moon-rimed dales—) and dangerously prone to alliteration ('terpsichorean tramplings—,a 'peripatetic pedagogue—). These stylistic tricks are tiresome, but his book brings together some surprising and entertaining information. Smith is not afraid of sweeping statements. The English, he maintains, have always been particularly keen on caves, and Nottingham, a name derived from the Anglo-Saxon 'snodenge— (caves) and 'ham— (house) is 'the most cave riddled city in England—, where people lived in them until the 1970s.Today, you can still descend into a cave underneath a branch of the fashionable men—s clothes shop, Paul Smith. In Wolverley, not far away, Smith finds a cave recently converted by its proud owner into a three bedroom house, on the market for a substantial sum.
