Yours Always is the true account of a young, engaged Dutch Jewish couple suddenly separated by the Nazi invasion. Distinguishing this work is the diary of Kitty's fiancee, Don, who joined a Dutch brigade during the war. This diary, Red Cross letters, and Kitty's memoirs make this an unusual recollection of that terrible time.

The fourth volume in a series sponsored by the International Scholars Conference of Ancient Near Eastern Economies (ISCANEE) and the Institute for the Study of Long-Term Economic Trends (ISLET) addresses the extent to which accounting practices actively shaped economic life. This volume traces the aims and functions of accounting practices from early Uruk (c. 3300 B.C.) down through the Neo-Babylonian period, as well as Egyptian practice. Described are the accounting techniques that diffused from Sumer eastward to the Iranian plateau and, to the northwest, up the Euphrates through Syria and across the Mediterranean to Crete and Mycenaean Greece.
