Paperback. Condition: New. During the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, general levels of alcohol consumption had risen considerably in all parts of the world. In association with this, there was a proliferation of alcohol-related problems such as liver disease, drunkenness offences, marital disharmony and employment difficulties. Many factors influence the probability of alcohol addiction and the habits of drinking; they include age, sex, race, occupation and income.Economic aspects of the use and misuse of alcohol had been attracting increasing attention during the early 1980s. Politicians and scholars alike had drawn attention to the benefits of a vigorous alcohol industry on the one hand, and on the other, the costs of providing medical, social and educational services for those suffering from alcohol-related problems. Originally published in 1983, the real nature of the relationship between economics and alcohol is explored in detail for the first time in this book. It argues for increased participation by economists in the processes of social policy decision-making and considers the key issues of cost-benefit analyses, control policies, taxation and programme efficiency. No easy solutions are provided, but a host of unjustified assumptions about this subject are clarified. This book paved the way for substantial future collaboration between economists and those involved in alcohol studies.…

John Gerard's (1545-1612), 'Of the Historie of Plants', better known as 'Gerard's Herball' and first published in 1597, is one of the most delightful of Elizabethan herbals. Its glorious prose, the folklore steeping its pages, and all its quaint conceits about the 'Vertues' of herbs, are known by reputation the world over. This is partly because no book on flowers or trees can be written without quotations from his glowing pages, but mainly because the work has won an unchallenged place of honour as the most delightful, fragrant, and refreshing of all old herbals, as it is by far the most amusing. When reading Gerard we are wandering in the peace of an Elizabethan garden, with a companion who has a story for every flower and is full of wise philosophies. He inspires us with his own simple faith in the healing virtues of herbs, we must agree that 'sweet Marjoram is good for those who are given to over much sighing', that 'the smell of Basil is good for the heart, takes away sorrowfulness and makes a man merry and glad', and that Borage 'brings alwaies courage'. Gerard was born in Nantwich in 1545. The original edition is a huge book, with more than 1600 pages, so for this edition, working from the enlarged and amended edition of 1636 by Thomas Johnson, Marcus Woodward has extracted the essential essence of the book, preserving all that is most precious. No word has been altered. The book contains descriptions of nearly 200 plants, with details of their habitats, alternative names, and culinary and medical uses, and is illustrated with 114 woodcuts. Very little specific information about botanist Marcus Woodward seems to currently exist. Jacket with lavender plant after John Gerard (illustrator).…
