Adam Smith is considered the founding father of economics. Yet to form an accurate picture of the theoretical basis of his work, it is necessary to know what influenced him. This book is the most up-to-date and comprehensive guide to all the books which were in Adam Smith's library at the time of his death. An invaluable reference work, this book will be of enormous interest to all those interested in the genesis of early economic thought.

This collection gathers together comments and reviews on the works of Adam Smith. All introductions to the later editions of his works, either in English or in translation, are included as well as the editor's notes (where possible). Volume One contains contemporary comments, letters and reviews on Smith's works from his Edinburgh lectures to the posthumous Essays on Philosophical Subjects . The second and third volumes contain introductions, supplementary chapters and notes to the early English editions, together with early reviews. They also include some critical remarks on his moral...

This book is the first to give a comprehensive description of the physics and applications of resonant tunneling diodes. The opening chapters of the book set out the basic principles of coherent tunneling theory. The authors describe in detail the effects of impurity scattering, femtosecond dynamics, non-equilibrium distribution, and intrinsic bistabilities. They review the applications of RTDs, such as in high-frequency signal generation and multi-valued data storage, and close the book with a chapter on the new field of resonant tunneling through laterally confined zero-dimensional...

Bonar's Catalogue of Adam Smith's Library was originally published at the end of the nineteenth century; and a new and enlarged edition in 1932. Dr Mizuta's researches have now added substantially to the total number of books known to have been in Adam Smith's library, as well as adding information about many of those originally catalogued by Bonar. The present supplement records all this additional material, and provides as well a general check list and index to the catalogue as a whole.

Adam Smith (1723-90) is well known as the author of The Wealth of Nations and as a champion of free enterprise but he also wrote on moral philosophy and lectured on rhetoric and jurisprudence. This collection reveals a new portrait of the well known economist, not as a simple-minded champion of free trade but as an interdisciplinary social scientist with a moral philosophy for the modern world. His legacy should not be restricted to economics and to the English-speaking world.
