Quantitative Investigations
Yoshimi Kuroda uses an econometric approach to investigate rice production structure and the effects of agricultural policies in Japan over the second half of the 20th century. The impact of four types of government intervention is analysed, revealing just how significant policy effects are to agricultural structure. More specifically, the book explores the negative impact that agricultural policies – such as rice price supports, set-asides, and factor input subsidies – have had on the transference of paddy lands from small-scale to large-scale farms, and investigates the efficiency and productivity of farm management.
Kuroda argues that the government of Japan must seek to redress these interventions if a more efficient production structure will ever be realised. This text is useful reading for students, academics, government researchers in economics, agricultural economists, and those interested in development economics.

This classic work, written in a clear and interesting style, with many exercises, offers a thorough and reliable treatment of an important branch of higher analysis. It lends itself well to use in course work; however, because of its consistent clear illustrations of theoretical difficulties, the book is also ideal for self-study.
Since all higher analysis depends on the theory of numbers, Professor Knopp (formerly Professor of Mathematics, University of Tübingen) begins with an introduction to the theory of real numbers, an indispensable foundation for what is to come. This introduction is followed by an extensive account of the theory of sequences and the actual theory of infinite series. The latter is covered in two stages: (1) the classical theory (2) later developments of the 19th century.
Carefully selected exercises have been included throughout, emphasizing applications of the theory, rather than purely theoretical considerations.
Aimed at students already acquainted with the elements of differential and integral calculus, this work grew out of the author’s lectures and course work at the universities of Berlin and Königsberg. This pedagogical background helped him achieve a work of utmost clarity and precision — one that belongs in the library of every serious mathematician or student of higher analysis.

Two tiger cub brothers are torn from the jungle and taken to Rome. The stronger cub is trained as a killer at the Coliseum. Emperor Caesar makes a gift of the smaller cub to his beautiful daughter, Aurelia. She adores her cub, Boots. Julius, a young animal keeper, teaches Aurelia how to earn Boots’s trust. Boots is pampered while his brother, known as Brute, lives in the cold and darkness, let out only to kill. Caesar trusts Julius to watch Aurelia and her prized pet. But when a prank backfires, Boots temporarily escapes and Julius must pay with his life. Thousands watch as Julius is sent unarmed into the arena to face the killer Brute.
