"Appleyard, Field, and Cobb's International Economics, 7/e" text is an International Economics textbook that offers a consistent level of analysis and treatment of the two main subdivisions of international economics - international trade theory and policy and international monetary theory and policy. As the authors write this edition, the world has become painfully aware that increased globalization links countries together strongly in times both of recession and prosperity. The growing awareness of the importance of international issues is also evidenced in increased student interest in such issues, particularly those related to employment, international working conditions, and equity. Comprehensive and clear, "International Economics" helps students move beyond recognition toward an understanding of current and future international events. As with each prior edition, the authors provide a clear and comprehensive text that will help students move beyond simple recognition of international issues toward a level of understanding of current and future international developments that will be of use to them in analyzing the problem at hand and selecting a policy position. New improvements covering the emerging issues in the global economy are designed to help readers both understand and appreciate the growing importance of the global economy in their lives.

Over the course of two decades, Urban Economics has achieved a worldwide audience, and has been translated into Chinese, Greek, Russia, and Korean. Like the seven previous editions, this edition provides a clear and concise presentation of the economic forces that: (a) cause the development of cities; (b) determine the spatial form of cities; (c) cause urban economies to grow or shrink; (d) generate urban problems such as poverty, crime, and congestion; (e) make the market for urban housing unique; and (f) shape the tax and spending policies of local government. In addition to developing the basic concepts of urban economics, the book uses economic analysis to evaluate the merits of policies designed to address our most vexing urban problems. The text is designed for use in undergraduate courses in urban economics and urban affairs. It could also be used for graduate courses in urban planning, public policy, and public administration. All of the economic concepts used in the book are covered in the typical intermediate microeconomics course, so students who have completed such a course will be able to move through the book at a rapid pace.

OVERVIEW This book provides an introduction to the legal system in Hong Kong. Understanding Hong Kong s legal system today requires both an understanding of the British origins of much of the laws and legal institutions as well as the uniquely Hong Kong developments in the application of the Basic Law under a concept of one country two systems . These features of the Hong Kong legal system are explored in this book, which takes into account developments in the first decade or so of the new legal framework in Hong Kong since the 1997 handover. This book covers the following topics: functions and concept of law, elements of a legal system, the rule of law, the separation of powers, sources of law, the courts and the doctrine of precedent, the process of legislation, statutory interpretation, alternative methods of resolving disputes, and legal research. In providing both an exposition of the legal institutions in Hong Kong and legal method under Hong Kong s legal system (including practical guidance and examples on case law, statutory interpretation and legal research), the book is ideal for first year law students, as well as students of other disciplines who study law. KEY FEATURES Provides an introduction to the HK legal system which incorporates discussion of events and developments in the first decade or so of the new regime under the Basic Law. These developments include the various NPCSC (Standing Committee of the National People's Congress) interpretations of the Basic Law (including the recent reference to the NPCSC by the HK Court of Final Appeal in the recent decision in Democratic Republic of the Congo v China Railway Group (Hong Kong) Ltd), and new legislation affecting aspects of the legal system (new Arbitration Ordinance of 2010 and the Legislation Publication Ordinance of 2011). Provides a concise introduction on the meaning and nature of law, including an introduction to major legal theories. Provides both an enunciation of basic tenets of the rule of law as well as analysis of the scope and meaning of the doctrines of rule of law and separation of powers, plus their application in Hong Kong. While the book is suitable as an introductory text, the book also provides a degree of detail on the common law method, including understanding case law and statutory interpretation. For example, see the chapters on judicial precedent and statutory interpretation set out the relevant legal principles as applied in Hong Kong (including decisions of the Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal since 1997) as well as providing guidance and examples, which should equip first year students with the basic legal skills necessary for their legal studies. A specific chapter on alternative dispute resolution (ADR) procedures and tribunals, with the increasing importance of ADR in Hong Kong (particularly in light of the 2009 Civil Justice Reform). A concise chapter on legal research with tips and examples on finding both primary and secondary sources (from both hardcopy and electronic resources) that should equip first year students with necessary legal research skills. Extensive references to further sources for readers provided in footnotes in each chapter. Review Questions to test the student s understanding of the topics covered in each chapter.
