Although this excellent collection was published in 1988, before the term "New Economy" came into currency, it examines ideas very relevant to the role of government during times of technological change. Recent discussions of "market failure" resulting from network effects or "externalities" have been critiqued by others, especially Margolis and Liebowitz. Cowen's collection digs deep into the economic theory of public goods, externalities, and free riding, as well as providing case studies of the successful private provision of supposedly public goods. Essays include Robert Axelrod on "The Problem of Cooperation", and Nobel Prize winner Ronald Coase, with a helpful and substantial overview by Cowen. One point running throughout the essays is that new technologies, given clear property right assigments, can solve public goods problems and that this is typically a better solution than government involvement.

A great simple book with clear graphics and a lift up on each page. Milly searches a house looking for a monster, but instead finds animals under blankets etc. - the flaps reveal what the monster really is each time. Needless to say she does find her monster in the end. Each page also has four common elements (e.g. a spider) for the child to look for. Excellent

Thunder Road by Sont is the best book of poetry I have ever read. The book draws me in from the first page. Even if you do not like poetry, you will like this book.

Monkey Wrench is a GREAT book...4th in the Tyler series. A small town girl turned tv star, returns to help her aunt and comes face to face with a man who makes her question everything about her life. Prepare to be swept off your feet!. Bravo Nancy Martin!

This is the 5th installment in the Tyler series. The new police chief is a woman, who does things strictly by the book. Her "second in command" is a home town hero, who THOUGHT that the job was his and can't believe he was passed over for a woman. This book is FULL of mystery and romance. Just when you think you know what will happen, everything changes! I loved this book!

"Tyler" is a series surrounding a community. It's not a need-to-have-read-the-one-before type of series. Thank God!
This installment deals with the surviving daughter of a murder
victim. A trial has recently ended with giving answers as to
who killed Alyssa's mother. She and Edward Wocheck want to get
on with a life together. But terrible dreams giving clues about
the murder stand in the way. GREAT STUFF!!!

Lorriane Ash's play "Tyler" resurects an obscure hero from a little-discussed era from American History. Ash deftly evokes the uncertain climate by staging this glimpse into our nation's history on a bobbing Navy ship on the Potomac. This framework brings us, with some foreboding, a demonstration of the latest artillery in 1844: a canon the Navy has christened "Peacemaker" dubbed "Noisemaker" by the distressed young heroine, Julia Gardiner, the future first-lady. The play also includes an aged Dolley Madison and the crusty Whig, John Quincy Adams. It is a play replete with romance, humor, and quiet symbolism--a sweet history lesson. I was entertained, painlessly informed and imbued with greater insight.
