Folklore is everywhere, whether you are aware of it or not. A culture's traditional knowledge is used to remember the past and maintain traditions, to communicate with other members within a community, to learn, to celebrate, and to express creativity. It is what helps distinguish one culture from another. Although folklore is so much a part of our daily lives, we often lose sight of just how integral it is to everything we do. If we look for it, we can find folklore in places where we'd never think it existed. "Folklore: In All of Us, In All We Do" includes articles on a variety of topics. One chapter looks at how folklore and history complement one another; while historical records provide facts about dates, places and names, folklore brings those events and people to life by making them relevant to us. Several articles examine the cultural roles women fill. Other articles feature folklore of particular groups, including oil field workers, mail carriers, doctors, engineers, police officers, horse traders, and politicians. There is also an article on how teachers can use writing in the classroom as a means of keeping alive the storytelling tradition.

Many forms of chemical experimentation generate data needing analysis and interpretation in respect of the goals of the experiment and also the chemical factors which may influence the outcome. Statistical data analysis techniques provide the tools which enable a chemist to assess the information obtained from experiments. Statistical Analysis Methods for Chemists: A Software-based Approach aims to give a broad introduction to practical data analysis, and provides comprehensive coverage of basic statistical principles and reasoning. With practical examples, and integration of software output as the basis of data analysis, this useful book gives unique coverage of the statistical skills and techniques required in modern chemical experimentation. It will prove invaluable to students and researchers alike. Software update information is available from W Gardiner at w.gardiner@gcal.ac.uk or fax +44 (0)141 331 3608. Please accompany requests for information with details of the software version to be used.

Leading monetary economists discuss applied aspects of monetary policy and offer practical research on the timing, magnitude and channels of central banking actions in this study. Some of the papers in this volume evaluate a variety of policy rules based on monetary aggregates, nominal income, commodity prices and other economic variables. Others analyze price behaviour and inflation, particularly the short-run behaviour of prices. The monetary transmission mechanism - the channel through which the central bank's actions affect spending on goods and services - with a focus on the reduction in bank lending that must accompany a reduction in reserves, is also assessed.

The objective of the series has always been to provide a forum in which leading contributors to an area can write about significant bodies of research in which they are involved. The operating procedure has been to invite contributions from interesting, active investigators, and then allow them essentially free rein to present their perspectives on important research problems. The result of such invitations over the past two decades has been collections of papers which consist of thoughtful integrations providing an overview of a particular scientific problem. The series has an excellent tradition of high quality papers and is widely read by researchers in cognitive and experimental psychology.

This volume presents the most complete collection available of the work of Victor Zarnowitz, a leader in the study of business cycles, growth, inflation, and forecasting.. With characteristic insight, Zarnowitz examines theories of the business cycle, including Keynesian and monetary theories and more recent rational expectation and real business cycle theories. He also measures trends and cycles in economic activity; evaluates the performance of leading indicators and their composite measures; surveys forecasting tools and performance of business and academic economists; discusses historical changes in the nature and sources of business cycles; and analyzes how successfully forecasting firms and economists predict such key economic variables as interest rates and inflation.
