This year (2007) there is no MUSES Journal per se; instead, members will receive a free copy of my SELECTED PHILOSOPHICAL AND HISTORICAL ESSAYS 1985-2005 on CD rom. This is a 795 page book, which has been published in hard back form by www.lulu.com/iipsgp –The essays are divided into 9 sections, one dedicated to each to the 9 Muses, as is the normal Muses Love Journal from IIPSGP. I hope you enjoy them ! Next year a Journal !

As states such as Russia are fi nding out, in a rap- idly globalizing economy, shortages of skilled labor can lead to a decline in scientifi c achievement and a loss of economic pro- ductivity. Ultimately, the failure to address a nation’s talent gap could result in a decline in political infl uence in the global arena.
