In this book Nobel Laureate Sir John Hicks draws together the common threads of over fifty years of writing on monetary economics into a succinct statement of the fundamentals of monetary theory. Confronting the failure of both standard classical and neoclassical theory to fill the gap between monetary and non-monetary economics, he posits an idea of competitive markets that can be linked to the monetary sector, and explains the way in which economic theory has been adjusted to reflect developments in the real economy.

Almost every amateur astronomer who has taken the pursuit to its second level aspires to a fixed, permanent housing for his telescope, permitting its rapid and comfortable use avoiding hours of setting-up time for each observing session. A roll-off roof observatory is the simplest and by far the most popular observatory design for today’s practical astronomers.
Building a Roll-off Roof Observatory is unique, covering all aspects of designing a roll-off roof observatory: planning the site, viewing requirements, conforming to by-laws, and orientation of the structure. The chapters outline step-by-step construction of a typical building.
The author, both an amateur astronomer and professional landscape architect, is uniquely qualified to write this fully-detailed book. A professionally designed roll-off observatory could cost as much as $3000 just for the plans – which are provided free with Building a Roll-off Roof Observatory.
