It traces the development of his work and places it within the literature of economic thought. The book finds that Heilbroner is a writer of political economy in the classical sense. His work is more reminiscent of Smith or Marx than of contemporary economic theorists. Heilbroner's economics is built on a solid foundation of social psychology, evolutionary dynamics and human history. This holistic approach affords Heilbroner a wide latitude to define the economic process and the discipline that studies it.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52124252045585,"sku":"NLS9780333673638","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52734974722321,"sku":"NIN9780333673638","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780333673638.jpg?v=1790685117"},{"product_id":"flash-poems-book-m-carroll-9781941237175","title":"Flash Poems","description":"\u003cp\u003eBook Description: Flash Poems offers an anthology of poems and the prompts that inspired them.

This book helps children identify different species of trees. This book is a flip book, a two-way tale, in that there are two books in one, with two front covers and no end. The Tree Who Walked Through Time is a story of an old Cottonwood tree who takes a stroll down memory lane, exploring the different trees that grow around him. The Cottonwood, named Prairie Prince, has a conversation with a boy who has fallen asleep under his branches. The other side of the book, The Boy Whose Branches Reached the Stars, is the story of a boy named Peter who is unhappy being short and longs to be tall like a tree. He goes on a stroll through the woods, exploring the different trees he might like to be, and eventually falls asleep underneath the old Cottonwood tree. Each artist contributed at least one tree to the book. As luck would have it, no two artists chose the same species  The artists' different styles and mediums highlight the unique qualities of each tree, helping the reader learn to distinguish the various species shown. Each contributing artist had a particular inspiration for selecting their tree. Along with their biographies you'll find in the book a brief description of why they chose the tree selected. Some of the contributing artists are well known, others yet to be discovered: - Judy Graversen-Algaier - Loretta Hendricks Backus - Kris Barlow - Shelley Barnhill - Maureen Carroll - Jack Cleveland - Lisa Grossman - Stan Herd - Rachel Herring - Paul Hotvedt - Steve Howard - Erok Johanssen - Cathy Martin - Samantha Nowak - Bobbie Powell - Ardys Ramberg - Sara L. Taliaferro and - Libby Tempero Author Maureen Carroll had never tried to herd cats before setting out to coordinate the work of seventeen other Kansas artists for The Tree Who Walked Through Time - A Tree Identification Story, but she has never known the meaning of the word can't. A lover of rocks and trees since she was a little girl climbing in the Colorado Rockies, Maureen has worn many hats over the years, including linguist and cultural anthropologist, mom, public speaker, gluten-free cook, teacher, photographer, writer, graphic designer, and all-around Seeker of Truth. Maureen graduated from the University of Kansas and has taught classes throughout the United States and abroad. I started by asking each artist to select a tree and to show something of what distinguishes that species of tree from others, Maureen explains. Serendipitously, no two artists chose the same tree. A few more were added along the way, including Jack Cleveland's fractal tree (which may grow wherever the human imagination wanders). I wanted to introduce fine art to children, and to use that art to help them learn to identify different kinds of trees. Ultimately I wanted to serve the purpose of conservation by creating an emotional connection to the trees. My artists gave me more than I could have hoped for, which is wonderful because I wanted to help promote them, too. Motivation for this community effort to create a children's book was sparked by the recent cuts in funding to the arts and art education, particularly as it impacts children. We were also motivated by our great love for trees and desire to aid tree conservation by increasing youths' understanding of trees. The author and artists are looking for book readers, tree lovers, and art supporters to aid in their cause of raising $25,000 for children's art education.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52663441195281,"sku":"NLS9781941237014","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781941237014.jpg?v=1762272039"},{"product_id":"raspberry-race-book-m-carroll-9781941237502","title":"The Raspberry Race","description":"Jo and the School's Out Squad discover friendship in their first adventure, The Raspberry Race.
