If two of the main characters are in the same place, occasionally one paragraph would be spoken from one of them and the following one from the other, which made the story somewhat hard to follow.Another problem with Swords was its length. This book is excellent, well written in the keys recorded, and easy to use. For anyone who loves the out of doors or loves the Rocky Mountain West, this book is a treasure. Not even close. Very interesting how many life stories of these little cars at some point involve being left for dead in an abandoned garage somewhere.My only criticism is after reading thru the bulk of the text, I was left wondering if the British author didn't have access to owners or clubs of modified and racing Sprites in other countries, was very heavily weighted with English Sprites.. Castaldo is stating about the Church are true because, after all, he was a "devout Catholic." However, shortly into the book, it becomes evident that his representations of Catholicism are based on his years of evangelicalism and looking back in time at his own Catholic life now wearing "reformation-colored" glasses.One of the major issues I have with his research methodology is that it"Even more impressive than the speed with which this monograph was created, is the breadth of issues that is covered and the wealth of results that is derived and synthesized. For anyone thinking about trade, tax, and regional policies, it is required reading."--Michael Pflüger, Journal of Economic Geography"The impressive efforts by Baldwin et al. Jordaan, Progress in Human Geography. to construct various New Economic Geography inspired models that are more easily tractable and perfectly solvable may inspire increased efforts to test these models empirically, which will further aid in a more robust empirical identification of the driving forces of firm location behavior and related regional welfare issues."--Jacob AHowever, these efforts--collectively known as the "new economic geography"--have devoted little attention to the policy implications of the new theory.Economic Geography and Public Policy fills the gap by illustrating many new policy insights economic geography models can offer to the realm of theoretical policy analysis. Focusing primarily on trade policy, tax policy, and regional policy, Richard Baldwin and coauthors show how these models can be used to make sense of real-world situations. A well-organized, engaging narrative that progresses smoothly from fundamentals to more complex material, Economic Geography and Public Policy is essential reading for graduate students, researchers, and policymakers seeking new approaches to spatial policy issues.. From there they proceed to examine previously unaddressed welfare and policy issues including, in separate sections, trade policy (unilateral, reciprocal, and preferential), tax policy (agglomeration with taxes and public goods, tax competition and agglomeration), and regional policy (infrastructure policies and the political economy of regional subsidies). Research on the spatial aspects of economic activity has flourished over the past decade due to the emergence of new theory, new data, and an intense interest on the part
