This volume contains a selection of papers presented at the Sixth International Conference on English Historical Linguistics. The conference was held at the University of Helsinki in May 1990 as one of the events of the 350th jubilee year of the University. The topics of the papers accepted for inclusion clearly show the increasing interest in geographical and social variation and in the detailed study of texts in English historical linguistics. It is also interesting to note that the former distinct borderline between historical linguistics and philology is disappearing. Although t

 The author presents in The Drift of Sea Ice the fundamental laws of sea ice drift which come from the material properties of sea ice and the basic laws of mechanics. The resulting system of equations is analysed for the general properties of sea ice drift, the free drift model and analytical models for ice drift in the presence of internal friction, and the construction of numerical ice drift models is detailed. The science of sea ice drift through its 100-year history to the present day is explained. The text includes the geophysical theory, observations from field programs, and mathematica

The first edition of this book, completed in 1970, was hailed as a major contribution to scholarship on the development of Arabic fiction in the 19th and early 20th centuries. In this revised and greatly expanded second edition, Matti Moosa has added five entirely new chapters - one on the popular dialogues of Abd Allah Nadim, and four devoted to 20th-century fiction culminating with the novels of Maguib Mahfouz. He has also incorporated the results of more than two decades of fresh research. Moosa’s exhaustive discussion, demonstrating the influence of both Western and Islamic ideology

This book provides a comprehensive survey of optimal income tax theory, following the development of research strategy from the basic Mirrlees model through its refinements that examine how optimal tax rates and the shape of tax schedules are affected by new considerations. The author covers not only the historical background and modern formulations of the theory, but also extends his discussion to the most important extensions of the model and the interrelation of income tax with other instruments of tax and expenditure policy.
