Series Statement: The Morgan Kaufmann series in computer graphics

Content: Computer graphics systems are capable of generating stunningly realistic images of objects that have never physically existed. In order for computers to create these accurately detailed images, digital models of appearance must include robust data to give viewers a credible visual impression of the depicted materials. In particular, digital models demonstrating the nuances of how materials interact with light are essential to this capability. This is the first comprehensive work on the digital modeling of material appearance: it explains how models from physics and engineering are comb

Series Statement: The procedural aspects of international law monograph series ; v. 28

Content: The Role of International Law in the Elimination of Child Labor offers an indispensible contribution to current debates on child labor. It addresses a broad range of subdisciplines, analyzing child labor in the context of social, economic, and cultural issues. The first part of the book traces the development of contemporary law relating to child labor, specifically addressing child slavery, child sexual exploitation, and the use of child soldiers. Part II is devoted to observance and enforcement, discussing state and private reporting mechanisms, complaint procedures, and sanctions. The book is the 28th volume in the Procedural Aspects of International Law (PAIL) Monograph Series.

Series Statement: OECD Social, Employment and Migration Working Papers, no.34

Content: For a number of reasons, incomes vary strongly with age. The nature of this variation is of interest for a wide range of policy purposes. Since age structures differ across countries, knowledge about the incomes earned by different age groups is also necessary for understanding and interpreting international comparisons of overall inequality. This paper quantifies the economic well-being of different age groups and the extent to which they rely on incomes from public and private sources. The analysis aims at establishing how social benefits, and the taxes needed to finance them, affect income levels and income disparities across different age groups. Results are compared across nine OECD countries.
