The calculation of "national wealth" is full of bias, particularly gender bias against women. Waring's classic analysis of women's place in the world economy is brought up to date in this reprinted edition by a sizable new introduction by the author.

With poverty, unemployment, and one-parent families on the rise in most Western democracies, government assistance presents an increasingly urgent and complex problem. This is the first study to explore Canada's family policies in an international context. Maureen Baker looks at the successes and failures of social programs in other countries in search of solutions that might work in Canada. Baker has chosen seven industrialized countries for her comparative study: Australia, France, Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. These countries experience social and economic strains similar to those felt in Canada, and though they share certain policy solutions, major differences in policy remain. Baker considers which of the policies in these countries are most effective in reducing poverty, enhancing family life, and improving the status of women, then applies her findings to the Canadian situation. Bringing together research and statistics from the fields of demography, political science, economics, sociology, women's studies, and social policy, this rich, multidisciplinary study provides a unique resource for anyone interested in Canadian family policy.

This two-volume set reprints the most significant theoretical and empirical research on energy economics that has been conducted during the last 70 years. The 48 contributions (published between 1931 and 1998) address key questions about the importance of the economics of energy. Some of the articles provide general surveys of issues to cover the broad range of relevant questions; others try to provide a sample of best-practice answers to illustrate how it might be done. Volume I includes a discussion of why energy matters together with demand side issues, conservation and modeling. Volume II looks at supply side issues, markets (players and prices), markets versus governments, and issues which concern developing countries. The volumes are not indexed. Edited by Paul Stevens of the Centre for Energy, Petroleum and Mineral Law and Policy, U. of Dundee. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Focusing on the practices, ideology, organizations, and strategies of the women's liberation movement, this study documents and analyzes the struggle of the contemporary women's movement in Canada. It begins with a detailed history of the "second wave" (post-1960), and makes a primary distinction between grass-roots and institutionalized feminism. Emphasizing the former, the book reveals a part of feminist organizing that has often been invisible.
