The method avoids double counting and conserves the flow of partonic energy. It reproduces threshold resummation for high-p_T single-particle cross sections, when recoil is neglected, and Q_T-resummation at low Q_T, when higher-order threshold logarithms are suppressed. We exhibit explicit resummed cross sections, accurate to next-to-leading logarithm, for electroweak annihilation and prompt photon inclusive cross sections.minor modifications of the text, some references added. 51 pages, LaTeX, 6 figures as eps filesHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyRecoil and Threshold Corrections in Short-distance Cross Sectionstext
