English translation of a recent Russian monograph which provides expert readers with review of aspects of the theory of integral equations which result from potential problems with conditions. Five chapters, neat typography, essential references. (NW) An analysis of small-scale peasant and artisan enterprise in the Oaxaca Valley of Mexico. The authors show how commodity production is organized and operates in different craft industries, as well as the ways in which it combines with other activities such as household chores, agriculture, wage labor, and petty commerce. They demonstrate how--contrary to developmentalist dogma--small-scale capitalism develops from within Mexico's rural economy. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
