Stephen F. Cohen
Failed Crusade: America and the Tragedy of Post-Communist Russia

2001 y.
Publisher: W. W. Norton &, Company, Inc.
Description: In the 1990s, as Russia under Yeltsin began the transition to a market economy, most American Russia-watchers saw an optimistic future ahead. In the early twenty-first century, so-called reform economic policies have left some 70 percent of Russians living near the poverty line - many embittered, deprived of life savings, welfare subsidies, health care, and job security. What has happened in Russia since the dissolution of the Soviet Union? What led U.S. experts and the media to so seriously misjudge the situation? Stephen F.Cohen analyzes what has gone wrong, indicting those policymakers, journalists, and academics who failed to see or report the facts that did not fit their theories. He calls for a fundamentally different American-Russian relationship, outlining a new U.S. policy that will help bring about Russia`s recovery and stabilization while preventing nuclear catastrophe.

Failed Stone: Problems and Solutions with Concrete and Masonry

2007 y.
Publisher: Birkhauser
Description: Concrete and stone seem made to last forever. But the fact is they develop structural damage over time. While not always as dramatic as the collapse of a roof section at the Paris Charles de Gaulle airport in 2004, gradual changes also occur that may compromise a building`s appearance and structure. These changes include efflorescence, thermal stress, material incompatibilities, corrosion, and impact. Failed Stone systematically analyzes cases of damage in contemporary international architecture and offers strategies for minimizing the risk of damage. Examples include such high-visibility structures as Finlandia Hall in Helsinki by Alvar Aalto, Renzo Piano`s Parco della Musica in Rome, and the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington. In nine chapters, typical kinds of damage are explained and illustrated with real-world examples. Формат: 22,5 см x 28 cм. [detailed...]

Failsafe Strategies: Profit and Grow from Risks that Others Avoid

2005 y.
Publisher: Wharton School Publishing
Description: This book is aimed at practitioners and scholars of business strategy. Whether you are a CEO of an organization or a functional-level manager, you need to understand not only how to take risks, but also how to navigate around those risks to capture the rewards that prompted the risk-taking in the first place. More importantly, you need to know your role in reducing these risks. You may argue that the responsibility of a strategy lies at the leadership suite, but it is becoming increasingly apparent that the success of a strategy is determined by how much the rank and file understands their role in the strategy. The risks in any strategy are not just in the execution, but also in the design. Формат: 16 см x 23,5 см. [detailed...]

Holly Weeks
Failure to Communicate: How Conversations Go Wrong and What You Can Do to Right Them

2008 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Your stomach`s churning, you`re hyperventilating -- you`re in a badly deteriorating conversation at work. Such exchanges, which run the gamut from firing subordinates to parrying verbal attacks from colleagues, are so loaded with anger, confusion, and fear that most people handle them poorly: they avoid them, clamp down, or give in. But dodging issues, appeasing difficult people, and mishandling tough encounters all carry a high price for managers and companies -- in the form of damaged relationships, ruined careers, and intensified problems. In Failure to Communicate, Holly Weeks shows how to master the combat mentality, emotional maelstrom, and confusion that poison difficult conversations. Drawing on her many years as a consultant and coach to leaders and executives, the author explains: Why we turn to ineffective tactics when the heat is on How to avoid the worst pitfalls of difficult conversations, and how to pull yourself out if you fall in Ways to regain your balance and… [detailed...]

Failure: An autobiography a story of how the truth can set you free

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: [b]What happens when your life doesn`t quite live up to your and everyone else`s expectations?[/b]Failure is what we fear most. And yet, we have all failed in some aspects of our lives. Now, author Joshua Gidding breaks the silence by giving an honest account of his own failures, or more specifically, his own enduring sense of failure, from childhood until the present. Gidding chronicles his struggles not with any outside enemy -- drugs, alcohol, illness -- but with himself, from trying to fit in at his posh prep school, to dealing with his rejection from Harvard, to making peace with his position as a professor at a fourth-tier college and betraying his beloved wife after she was diagnosed with cancer by having an internet affair with another woman. All the while, Gidding places the idea of failure in a larger philosophical context. The result is a witty, provocative and utterly honest exploration of the personal landscape of failure. This book will change the way you look at your… [detailed...]

Fair Division and Collective Welfare

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: The concept of fair division is as old as civil society itself. Aristotle`s `equal treatment of equals` was the first step toward a formal definition of distributive fairness. The concept of collective welfare, more than two centuries old, is a pillar ofmodern economic analysis. Reflecting fifty years of research, this book examines the contribution of modern microeconomic thinking to distributive justice. Taking the modern axiomatic approach, it compares normative arguments of distributive justice and their relation to efficiency and collective welfare. The book begins with the epistemological status of the axiomatic approach and the four classic principles of distributive justice: compensation, reward, exogenous rights, and fitness. It then presents the simple ideas of equal gains, equal losses, and proportional gains and losses. The book discusses three cardinal interpretations of collective welfare: Bentham`s `utilitarian` proposal to maximize the sum of individual… [detailed...]

Fair Not Flat: How to Make the Tax System Better and Simpler

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Everyone knows that the current tax system is unfair. Some of the richest people in America pay no tax, while a huge share of the tax burden falls on the rest of us. A mere glance at the tax code confirms that it is far too complex, with volumes of rules that no ordinary person could possibly comprehend. What is to be done? Some conservatives have called for a so-called flat tax. But a flat tax is not necessarily a simple tax, and `flat` means `more` for most taxpayers: a rise in middle-class taxes to finance tax cuts for the rich. Is there another choice? In clear, easy-to-understand language, Edward J. McCaffery proposes a straightforward and fair alternative. A `fair not flat` tax that is consistent and progressive would tax spending, notincome and savings. And if it were collected at its lower levels through a national sales tax, most people would not have to file a return. A supplemental tax on spending for the wealthiest individuals would make the national sales tax… [detailed...]

Fair Shares for All: A Memoir of Family and Food

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In this beautifully written, vividly rendered memoir, John Haney, Gourmet magazine’s copy chief, describes his family’s day-to-day struggles, from the twilight of Queen Victoria’s reign to the dawn of the third millennium, in London’s least affluent working-class enclaves and suburbs, including a place called the Isle of Dogs–and reflects on how his family’s affection for the past and the food they loved kept them together. In crossing the Atlantic–and with it the class barrier–John is left with deep feelings of displacement and nostalgia for his Cockney roots. As he eats in some of New York City’s most expensive restaurants, he tries (and fails) to reconcile his new appetites with the indelible tastes of his youth–and the long-ago life that has continued to, and always will, define him. Peopled with unforgettable characters who find in even the greasiest kitchens the sustenance to see them through life’s hardships, Fair Shares for All is a remarkable memoir of resolve and resilience,… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: This revisionist study challenges those readings of the French Revolution that see it as inherently violent and intolerant, often in terms of the Terror alone, and explores the egalitarian policies pursued in the provinces. The mainstream Jacobin agenda held out the promise of `fair shares` and equal opportunities for all in a private ownership market economy. Moreover it sought to achieve social justice without jeopardizing human rights. Thus it tended to complement, rather than undermine, the liberal, individualist program of the Revolution.

It argues that the hubris of the present global market is destroying communities and wreaking irrevocable damage to the planet: we live in a modern version of the Midas myth. Justice in its broadest sense--fair shares for all--is eloquently held up as the prime virtue of human communities. Timothy Gorringe, Professor of Systematic Theology at the University of Exeter, offers practical suggestions for an ethical transformation to replace the spiraling profit-driven economy with a steady-state economy that meets human needs, and encompasses the well-being of other species and the environment.

Fair Trade Coffee: The Prospects and Pitfalls of Market-Driven Social Justice (Studies in Comparative Political Economy and Public Policy)

2007 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Over the past two decades, sales of fair trade coffee have grown significantly and the fair trade network has emerged as an important international development project. Activists and commentators have been quick to celebrate this sales growth, which has allowed socially just trade, labour, and environmental standards to be extended to hundreds of thousands of small farmers and poor rural workers throughout the Global South. While recent assessments of the fair trade network have focused on its impact on local poverty alleviation, however, the broader political-economic and historically-rooted structures that frame it have been left largely unexamined. Addressing this omission, Gavin Fridell argues that while local level analysis is important, examining the impacts of broader structures on fair trade coffee networks, and vice versa, are of equal if not greater significance in determining its long-term developmental potential. Using fair trade groups in Mexico and Canada as… [detailed...]
