Effects of highway runoff on receiving waters. Volume 1. Executive summary. Final draft report, October 1979-June 1985
The volume summarizes the research undertaken to determine the effects of highway stormwater runoff on receiving waters. Included in the effort were one-year field studies at three sites and preparation of three user-oriented manuals: (1) a guidelines manual for conducting field studies of receiving water effects, (2) a procedural manual for use in writing NEPA documents, and (3) a resource document which summarizes all existing information on receiving-water effects.
This chapter looks at recent trends in the historiography of state-formation since the appearance of Charles Tilly's Coercion and Capital and European States, AD 990-1990. The impact of globalization upon scholarship is analyzed, with increasing attention to comparative studies on China and the Ottoman Empire. Another emphasis has been the study of institutions in relationship with economic growth, among others through state finances and state loans.
