Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. Adam Smith was dumbfounded. Could he really be attending an event taking place at the start of the third millennium? Smith tried to concentrate on what the speaker was saying. Who was he? What was going on? And what was the meaning of the words of the painting? So begins The Amazing Journey of Adam Smith as the father of modern economics embarks on a voyage through time to discover whether his famous conclusion in The Wealth of Nations remains valid today: . . . he intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. . . . By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it. In this imaginative and thought provoking novel, Frank Werner explores the connection between financial self-interest and the evolving needs of society, often referred to as 'global sustainability.' As Adam Smith discovers, in the 21st century-where businesses can significantly damage or contribute to the world's ecological and social well being-the pursuit of profits may no longer be sufficient to create a sustainable world.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. A Newbery Medal Winner Awarded the John Newbery Medal as "the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children" in the year of its publication. "A road's a kind of holy thing," said Roger the Minstrel to his son, Adam. "That's why it's a good work to keep a road in repair, like giving alms to the poor or tending the sick. It's open to the sun and wind and rain. It brings all kinds of people and all parts of England together. And it's home to a minstrel, even though he may happen to be sleeping in a castle." And Adam, though only eleven, was to remember his father's words when his beloved dog, Nick, was stolen and Roger had disappeared and he found himself traveling alone along these same great roads, searching the fairs and market towns for his father and his dog. Here is a story of thirteenth-century England, so absorbing and lively that for all its authenticity it scarcely seems "historical." Although crammed with odd facts and lore about that time when "longen folke to goon on pilgrimages," its scraps of song and hymn and jongleur's tale of the period seem as newminted and fresh as the day they were devised, and Adam is a real boy inside his gay striped surcoat. "Engaging and beautifully written."--Children's Literature. Lawson, Robert (illustrator).…
