Roman History from Coins: Some Uses of the Imperial Coinage to the Historian $25.82 In this 1968 study, Michael Grant examines the varied ways in which Rome used currency to inform direct or deceive public opinion and also considers results of this exploitation. Cunning historians can read in the coins matters of art politics, religion, economics even personalities not to be found in surviving books: or if found, can set what the books say against what the coins say. Professor Grant astutely masters his difficult and complex subject matter, producing a brief exposition of it in words which the general reader and specialist alike can understand and profit from. Complemented by a series of half-tone plates, Professor Grant’s book is an excellent introduction for students of history to the value of coins as evidence for their subject. |

Ascetical Value $114.65 The Old Order Amish of Elkhart-LaGrange, Indiana are distinctive in their acceptance of and reliance upon employment in local (non-Amish) industrial factories, which provides greater disposable income and greater leisure time than their farming brethren. Contrary to conventional notions of their asceticism, these Amish are engaged in consumptive activities such as riding in automobiles, eating in restaurants, and using some electric-powered technologies. This text explores (1) the notion of asceticism and the Amish reconciliation of their religiously-grounded tenets of industry, frugality, and the separation from worldliness, with an increasingly pervasive and seemingly persuasive "culture of consumption;" (2) the construction of value surrounding actual household possessions; and (3) their understanding of what the material sphere and its expansion means in terms of Amishness and its future. |

Old-Growth Forests: Function, Fate and Value $262.99 Many terms often used to describe old-growth forests imply that these forests are less vigorous, less productive and less stable than younger forests. But research in the last two decades has yielded results that challenge the view of old-growth forests being in decline. Given the importance of forests in battling climate change and the fact that old-growth forests are shrinking at a rate of 0.5% per year, these new results have come not a moment too soon. This book is the first ever to focus on the ecosystem functioning of old-growth forests. It is an exhaustive compendium of information that contains original work conducted by the authors. In addition, it is truly global in scope as it studies boreal forests in Canada, temperate old-growth forests in Europe and the Americas, and global tropical forests. Written in part to affect future policy, this eminently readable book is as useful for the scientist and student as it is for the politician and politically-interested layman. |

Value Given, Value Received (2nd Edition) $21.96 Value Given, Value Received, the second volume of the three-part Blind Vision series, is a critical extension of the fundamentals Curtis Greco presented in "We Hold These Truths.".. the introductory volume of this series. Using the language and subject of economics and his own history, this book grapples not only with the question, "What is freedom?" it also explores freedom’s natural extension – a citizen’s personal industry. Greco brings a fierce urgency to his thesis that far from being dreadfully tedious or boring, economics and money are, in reality, intensely personal and relevant issues. Among the subjects covered are simple economics, monetary policy, the practice of money (including the dangers of a fiat money system), prospects and proposals for the future, and a lively discussion of the virtues of an old-fashioned gold/silver standard. As in "We Hold These Truths.".., every position Greco advances draws from the fundamental principles upon which America was founded. |

Pennies: Penny $8.87 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: A penny is a coin (pl. pennies) or a type of currency (pl. pence) used in several English-speaking countries. Pennies appear to have been in use since the first use of minted coinage Old English versions of the word penny are penig, pening, penning and pending; the word appears in German as Pfennig, in Dutch as penning, and in West Frisian as peinje or penje. These words are thought by some to have common roots with the Erinelizabeth word “pawn”, German , and Dutch , words which mean “a pledge or token”. An equivalent to the penny in ancient times was the Greek drachma. Later came the Roman As, a copper coin. When Britain was under Roman rule, most of Britain used the coin-based monetary system that was used by the Roman Empire, but their system of coinage soon changed after the Romans left. As the invading Anglo-Saxons began to settle and establish their own kingdoms, some started to make gold coins based on the old Roman designs or designs copied from the coins used in the Frankish kingdoms. Their monetary system had several serious flaws: First, gold was so valuable, that even the smallest coins were very valuable, thus, these gold coins would only be used in large transactions. Further, gold was very rare, and this rarity prevented such coins from being common enough to use for even large transactions. Between the years 640 and 670 AD, there seems to have been a movement by the Anglo-Saxons to use less pure gold in coins. This made the coins appear paler, decreased their value, and may have increased the number that could be made, but it still did not solve the problems of value and scarcity of coins made mostly of gold. Up to this time, no Anglo-Saxon coins had been minted in any metal besides gold. However, around the year 680 a new typ… More: |
