When we do, so much of the world that seemed mysterious or baffling  becomes more clear and understandable?improving our lives and providing new tools to succeed in business and career. In a chatty style, economist Evan Osborne explains the economic foundations behind the things we read about or see in the news everyday: Why prices for goods and services are what they are How government spending, regulation, and taxation can both hinder and help the economy Why and how some people get fabulously rich How entrepreneurs reorganize society beneficially Why markets sometimes fail and when or if governments should intervene when they do How economics and statistics can explain such things as discrimination in hiring and providing services (and why discriminators are shooting themselves in the foot), why we?re smarter than we?ve ever been, and how technology makes the idea of Earth?s ?carrying capacity? meaningless Along the way, you will learn the basic concepts of economics that well-educated citizens in democratic countries should know, like scarcity, opportunity cost, supply and demand, all the different ways economies are "managed," and more. In the manner of The Armchair Economist, The Undercover Economist, or Naked Economics, Osborne uses current examples to illustrate the principles that underlie tragedies like the Greek economy or the global market meltdown of 2008, and triumphs like the continuing dominance of Silicon Valley in the tech world or why New York City markets are stuffed with goods despite the difficulty in getting them there. As Osborne points out, the future, in economic terms, has always been better than the past, and he shows you how to use that knowledge to improve your life both intellectually and materially. 606 $aBusiness 606 $aManagement science 606 $aBusiness and Management, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/500000 615 0$aBusiness. 615 0$aManagement science. 615 14$aBusiness and Management, general. 676 $a330 700 $aOsborne$b Evan$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01063060 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438076703321 996 $aReasonably Simple Economics$92529888 997 $aUNINA LEADER 05186nam 2200601Ia 450 001 9911006684403321 005 20200520144314.0 010 $a1-62198-659-4 010 $a981-4405-95-7 035 $a(CKB)3280000000006441 035 $a(EBL)1681325 035 $a(SSID)ssj0000907286 035 $a(PQKBManifestationID)12466334 035 $a(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000907286 035 $a(PQKBWorkID)10857657 035 $a(PQKB)10031546 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC1681325 035 $a(WSP)00002888 035 $a(EXLCZ)993280000000006441 100 $a20120421d2012 uy 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aur|n|---||||| 181 $ctxt 182 $cc 183 $acr 200 14$aThe Handbook on optical constants of metals $ein tables and figures /$fSadao Adachi 210 $aHackensack, NJ $cWorld Scientific Publishing Co Pte Ltd$d2012 215 $a1 online resource (684 p.) 300 $aDescription based upon print version of record. 311 $a981-4405-94-9 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 327 $aPreface; CONTENTS; 1 Introduction; 1.1 Electron Configuration in Atoms; 1.2 Crystal Structure; 1.2.1 Metal and Semimetal Elements; (a) Metallic bond; (b) Body-centered cubic structure; (c) Face-centered cubic structure; (d) Hexagonal close-packed structure; (e) Unusual crystal structure of metals and semimetals; 1.2.2 Transition-Metal Carbides and Nitrides; 1.2.3 Metallic Silicides; 1.2.4 High-Tc Superconductors; (a) YBa2Cu3O7-; (b) Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8; (c) MgB2; 1.3 Dielectric Function: Tensor Representation; 1.4 Optical Dispersion Relations; 1.5 Optical Sum Rules; 1.5.1 Inertial Sum Rule 327 $a1.5.2 dc-Conductivity Sum Rule1.5.3 f-Sum Rule; 1.6 Model Dielectric Function; 1.6.1 Intraband Transitions; (a) Lorentz-Drude model; (b) Optical constants and electrical conductivity; 1.6.2 Interband Transitions; References; 2 Metal and Semimetal Elements; 2.1 Ia Metals; 2.1.1 Lithium (Li); References; 2.1.2 Sodium (Na); References; 2.1.3 Potassium (K); References; 2.1.4 Rubidium (Rb); References; 2.1.5 Cesium (Cs); References; 2.2 Ib Metals; 2.2.1 Copper (Cu); References; 2.2.2 Silver (Ag); References; 2.2.3 Gold (Au); References; 2.3 IIa Metals; 2.3.1 Beryllium (Be); References 327 $a2.3.2 Magnesium (Mg)References; 2.3.3 Calcium (Ca); References; 2.3.4 Strontium (Sr); References; 2.3.5 Barium (Ba); References; 2.4 IIb Metals; 2.4.1 Zinc (Zn); References; 2.4.2 Cadmium (Cd); References; 2.4.3 Mercury (Hg); References; 2.5 IIIa Metals; 2.5.1 Scandium (Sc); References; 2.5.2 Yttrium (Y); References; 2.6 IIIb Metals; 2.6.1 Alminium (Al); Reference; 2.6.2 Gallium (Ga); References; 2.6.3 Indium (In); References; 2.6.4 Thallium (Tl); References; 2.7 IVa Metals; 2.7.1 Titanium (Ti); References; 2.7.2 Zirconium (Zr); References; 2.7.3 Hafnium (Hf); References 327 $a2.8 IVb Semimetal and Metal2.8.1 Graphite (C); References; 2.8.2 White Tin (b-Sn); References; 2.9 Va Metals; 2.9.1 Vanadium (V); References; 2.9.2 Niobium (Nb); References; 2.9.3 Tantalum (Ta); References; 2.10 Vb Semimetals; 2.10.1 Antimony (Sb); References; 2.10.2 Bismuth (Bi); References; 2.11 VIa Metals; 2.11.1 Chromium (Cr); References; 2.11.2 Molybdenum (Mo); References; 2.11.3 Tungsten (W); References; 2.12 VIIa Metals; 2.12.1 Manganese (Mn); References; 2.12.2 Rhenium (Re); References; 2.13 VIII Metals; 2.13.1 Iron (Fe); References; 2.13.2 Cobalt (Co); References; 2.13.3 Nickel (Ni) 327 $aReferences2.13.4 Ruthenium (Ru); References; 2.13.5 Rhodium (Rh); References; 2.13.6 Palladium (Pd); References; 2.13.7 Osmium (Os); References; 2.13.8 Iridium (Ir); References; 2.13.9 Platinum (Pt); References; 2.14 Lanthanoids; 2.14.1 Lanthanum (La); References; 2.14.2 Cerium (Ce); References; 2.14.3 Praseodymium (Pr); References; 2.14.4 Neodymium (Nd); References; 2.14.5 Samarium (Sm); References; 2.14.6 Europium (Eu); References; 2.14.7 Gadolinium (Gd); References; 2.14.8 Terbium (Tb); References; 2.14.9 Dysprosium (Dy); References; 2.14.10 Holmium (Ho); References; 2.14.11 Erbium (Er) 327 $aReferences 330 $aThis book presents data on the optical constants of metal elements (Na, Au, Mg, Hg, Sc, Al, Ti, ß-Sn, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, La, Th, etc.) semimetal elements (graphite, Sb, etc.), metallic compounds (TiN, VC, TiSi 2 , CoSi 2 , etc.) and high-temperature superconducting materials (YBa 2 Cu 3 O 7-d , MgB 2 , etc.).
