Political Action is an innovative study of conventional and unconventional political behaviour in five developed nations. How and why do people engage in the various forms of political action and protest? What differences do age, education, and degree of deprivation make? An unusual example of cross-national collaboration that is a treasure-trove of data, a source of provocative explanations, and an exemplar of sophisticated research strategies.'The whole of this book will be read only by specialists; it is an important book all the same. Drawing on survey data from Britain, Holland, West Germany, the United States and Austria, the authors seek to explain the waves of political protest that swept through the advanced industrial democracies in the late 1960's.' -- The Economist, February 23, 1980

Renewal Reward Processes

The paper considers a process in which rewards are being earned and for which there exist time points at which the process begins anew--that is, that there exists an embedded renewal process. An expression for the asymptotic mean reward earned during any time interval is then obtained. In the final section the special case of a regenerative reward process is considered and a simple expression is presented for the long run average reward earned per unit time. (Author).
