Morality for Beautiful Girls

Praise for the first edition
"Professor Jha's Modern Public Economics is one of those rare feats--an accessible, wide-ranging and marvelously organized survey of the field for intermediate students and a precise down-to-earth manual for practitioners." 

Edmund S. Phelps, Columbia University (2006 Nobel Prize for economics)

"Jha's book fills an important lacuna from the point of view of students.... The challenging task before a contemporary text is to convey the movement from the old to the new public economics in a manner that will enthuse and motivate the students. This is a subtle task and Jha has accomplished this admirably... Modern Public Economics is an excellent and exciting book and belongs on the bookshelf of every serious student of the effect of state intervention in the market place."

Praise for the second edition
"This is a magisterial study-the author’s complete mastery of theoretical intricacies and subtleties is matched by a deep and profound understanding of policy choices that confront governments in developing countries. In a remarkable blend of theory and practice, it surpasses the best in Public Finance. " 
Raghav Gaiha, Professor of Public Policy, Faculty of Management Studies, University of Delhi.
"This is a clear, concise and well-written book on public economics – one of the best public economics textbooks I have read. The discussion of theoretical concepts in public economics is lucid and uncluttered; in his usual style, Professor Jha uses plenty of diagrams and intuition to complement the mathematical derivations. The inclusion of topics that are particularly germane to developing countries, such as taxation in an economy with a large informal sector and fiscal federalism, will make this a very appealing textbook in public economics for readers from developing countries. A very large section of the book is devoted to applied problems in public economics, including timely topics such as global public goods and the use of randomized evaluations in benefit-cost analysis. All in all, this is a must-read book for students and researchers interested in applied public economics and public policy, especially as it relates to developing countries." 
Anil B. Deolalikar, Professor of Economics, University of California Riverside
"Professor Jha has again provided both students and researchers a comprehensive and intelligible introduction to Public Economics. His clear, crisp exposition of complex ideas will be welcomed by students everywhere". 
Sinclair Davidson, RMIT University.

Modern Public Economics

"In this work Cynthia McCallister draws from a rich palette of theory and practice, and with a fine bristle brush paints for us a detailed, rigorous, and coherent picture for designing schools as learning cultures. The emphasis on relational process in learning is particularly compelling, and the applicability of the design is impressive." 
Kenneth J. Gergen, Ph.D.
Professor Emeritus, Swarthmore College

"Cynthia McCallister's original and widely tested design for classroom learning　　activities, ‘Learning Cultures,’ meets the mandates of the school curriculum while allowing　learners the freedom necessary for them to take responsibility for　　their own learning."
David R. Olson, Ph.D.
Professor Emeritus, Ontario Institute for Studies in Education/University of Toronto

"Dr. McCallister has designed an approach to literacy education that is highly effective and generating impressive results at the schools where it　has been implemented.　 In her approach, Learning Cultures, not only do students do more reading and writing, they also learn how to collaborate and provide each other with constructive feedback.　 For educators and researchers who are looking for ways to enhance literacy and learning in schools this book will be a tremendous resource."　
Pedro　A. Noguera, Ph.D.
Emery Stoops and Joyce King Stoops Dean
University of Southern California Rossier School of Education

"As a geneticist interested in education, I didn’t expect to like　Learning Cultures. Genetics research shows that differences in the schools we have don’t make much of a difference in children’s achievement. However, I am impressed with Cynthia McCallister’s book because it fits so well with my findings on the genetic individuality of children in how well they learn. Based on McCallister’s extensive educational experience,　Learning Cultures　describes practical formats and social norms that give children the freedom they need to discover their appetites and aptitudes."
Robert Plomin, Ph.D.
Medical Research Council Research Professor in Behavioural Genetics at the Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology and Neuroscience
Kings College London

"After more than two decades of action research in NYC K-12 schools, Cynthia McCallister now offers an innovative education　model based on what is known about how children learn and how schools operate in large, bureaucratic systems. Her whole-school model, proven to raise achievement　in multiple NYC schools, holds promise to address the urgent problem of substantive school reform."　
Shael Polakow-Suransky, M.Ed.
President, Bank Street College of Education
Former Deputy Chancellor, New York City Department of Education

"Cynthia McCallister has achieved something very rare: a design for educational curricula (and their institutionalization) that is firmly grounded in research and theory from developmental psychology. She grounds her educational proposals in what is scientifically known about the nature of children's learning and cognitive development, especially the important role of cooperative social interaction and classroom culture. This book should be mandatory reading for all educators."
Michael Tomasello, Ph.D.
James F. Bonk Distinguished Professor

“A sociology conference held at the University of Innsbruck, Austria in June 2006 revolved around Stephen K. Sanderson’s The Evolution of Human Sociality (2001).  The 17 papers that survived to publication introduce the anthology, then look at Darwinian conflict theory and its critics and diverse applications of evolutionary theory in sociology.  The topics include metaphysical materialism, cooperation without coercion, the missing link between structuralism and sociobiology, the uneven match between Emile Durkheim and Edward Westermarch, and the two transitions in the evolution of human sociality.  Sanderson himself offers reflections and final thought. .” --Eithne O’Leyne, October 2011 Reference and Research Book News
