For fans of westerns and positive/faith-based books, The Stories Of Robert Lowe is a collection of short stories adapted from a trilogy of award-winning films from Director Wayne Shipley. These four short stories follow a man in a mid-western town during the early 1900''s who''s life takes several unforeseen turns. With the west still a bit wild, Lowe must find his way in the world or be forgotten. The Fortune Of Robert Lowe - Knowing an individual for only a few hours doesn''t usually cause someone to change the direction of their entire life. But Robert Lowe''s future will most certainly be affected by the emissary he meets in a jail cell. The Trial Of Robert Lowe - When a loved one is involved, even a man of strong values like Lowe can be negatively influenced by hearsay and rumor. The Lessons Of Robert Lowe - Solutions to difficult problems can be as simple as talking with the right person, no matter how difficult it may be to do so. The Loss Of Robert Lowe - Two lost souls find their way out of their darkness together when a troubled girl from Lowe''s past helps him find his way into the future.

In this major new work, Michael J. Moore and W. Kip Viscusi explore the question, "How are workers compensated for exposing themselves to the risk of physical injury while on the job?" The authors detail the diverse nature of labor market responses to job risks and the important role played by compensation-for-risk mechanisms. Following an overview of the literature, they present a number of unprecedented results. Comprehensive and systematic discussions of issues such as wage-risk tradeoffs, the effects of workers'' compensation on wages and risk, the role of unions, and the role of product liability suits in job-related injuries make the volume an essential work for all those interested in risk policy and workplace safety. Among the major results presented for the first time are the first estimates of the value of life derived from recently released occupational fatality risk data from the National Traumatic Occupational Fatality Survey. From these same data the authors also demonstrate that higher workers'' compensation benefit levels significantly reduce fatalities on the job--a finding that challenges virtually every other treatment of this topic.Originally published in 1990.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
