Synopsis

This is a wide-ranging survey of the theory and evidence on public goods. Its four parts present the main literature on public goods, both theoretical and empirical, in a systematic manner. Moreover, the authors extend the existing literature in numerous ways. Each section of the book includes a discussion of the main results, emphasizing the innovations and new outcomes. The main strength of the book is the breadth and depth of its coverage. The organization of topics covered by the book follows the recent literature and the presentation is written for a broad audience. Where technical material is presented, it is done in a way that is generally well explained and easy to follow. The book is thus suitable as a textbook for graduate and upper level undergraduate public finance courses as well as for researchers interested in the field.

From the Back Cover

A world–renowned reference which is published in affiliation with the UICC, the Manual of Clinical Oncology, Seventh Edition provides updated and essential information on cancer detection, identification, diagnosis, and treatment.

Clearly written and detailed, the Seventh Edition presents the most appropriate procedures for the diagnosis and staging of cancer treatment while emphasizing the cost/benefit ratio. In addition, it features two new flowcharts for each cancer discussed: the first follows the most basic diagnostic and staging intervention techniques, while the second includes special, more advanced procedures.

Divided into concise, accessible sections, the Seventh Edition examines such areas as:
∗ The cellular and molecular biology of cancer
∗ Cancer etiology, epidemiology, and smoking cessation
∗ Screening and early detection, diagnosis and pathology, staging and management, surgical principles, and clinical trials
∗ The specific targeting of cancers by anatomical location, including pain management, rehabilitation, and the psychological aspects of cancer

The Manual of Clinical Oncology, Seventh Edition is an authoritative and indispensable resource for all oncologists, general practitioners, doctors–in–training, and nurses worldwide.
