Local Breads: Sourdough and Whole-Grain Recipes from Europe`s Best Artisan Bakers

2007 y.
Publisher: W. W. Norton &, Company, Inc.
Description: Recipes from the back rooms and basement bakeries that produce Europe`s best breads. When Daniel Leader opened his Catskills bakery, Bread Alone, twenty years ago, he was determined to duplicate the whole-grain and sourdough breads he had learned to make in the bakeries of Paris. The bakery was an instant success, and his first book, Bread Alone, brought Leader`s breads to home kitchens. In this, his second book, Leader shares his experiences traveling throughout Europe in search of the best artisan breads. He learned how to make new-wave sourdough baguettes with spelt, flaxseed, and soy at an organic bakery in Alsace, and in Genzano, outside of Rome, he worked with the bakers who make the enormous country loaves so unique that they have earned the Indicazione Geografica Protetta (IGP), a government mark reserved for the most prized foods and wines. Leader`s detailed recipes describe every step that it takes to reproduce these rare loaves, which until now were… [detailed...]

Local Enterprises in the Global Economy: Issues of Governance and Upgrading

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionThis book opens a fresh chapter in the debate on local enterprise clusters and their strategies for upgrading in the global economy. The authors employ a novel conceptual framework in their research on industrial clusters in Europe, LatinAmerica and Asia and provide new perspectives and insights for researchers and policymakers alike. The debate on local upgrading capacity is torn between two lines of thinking: those who believe that local relationships between enterprises and institutions are key to upgrading, and those who argue that the spaces for upgrading are defined by the sourcing strategies of global buyers. From this debate a number of important questions arise: how feasible is it to develop local upgrading strategies? Can local policy networks make a difference, or do global forces undermine them? Do global quality and labor standards marginalize developing country producers or do they help them to upgrade? To answer these questions, the book brings… [detailed...]

Local Environmental Movements

2008 y.

Description: Increasing evidence of the irreparable damage humans have inflicted on the planet has caused many to adopt a defeatist attitude toward the future of the global environment. Local Environmental Movements: A Comparative Study of the United States and Japan analyzes how local groups in both Japan and the United States refuse to surrender the Earth to a depleted and polluted fate. Drawing on numerous case studies, scholars from around the world discuss efforts by grassroots organizations and movements to protect the environment and to preserve the landscapes they love and depend upon. The authors examine citizen campaigns protesting nuclear radiation and chemical weapons disposal. Other groups have organized to protect farmlands and urban landscapes to groups that organize to preserve steams, wildlife habitats, tidal flats, coral reefs, National Parks, and biodiversity. These small groups of determined citizens are occasionally successful, demonstrating the power of democracy against… [detailed...]

Local Environmental Sustainability

Publisher: —
Description: Arguably the most significant result of the 1992 Rio Earth Summit, Local Agenda 21 defined the importance of the role of local programs in sustainable development. The importance of Local Agenda 21 has been underlined more recently by the Johannesburg Summit in 2002. Local Environmental Sustainability explores how local government can promote sustainable development by building partnerships with different groups and organizations in the local community. Using case studies, individual chapters focus on different types of regional and local initiatives, the partnerships which have made them possible, and the key issues in making them effective. Building in the lessons learned by examining both successful and unsuccessful initiatives, Local Environmental Sustainability provides a blueprint for local governments and communities to work together effectively for a more sustainable future.

Local Governance in Britain

2001 y.
Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan
Description: This pioneering book seeks to identify many of the new and some of the old players on the local pitch. It examines the way elected councils and appointed public agencies work together (and sometimes fail to work together) with business and voluntary organizations to deliver services and shape decisions which vitally affect local communities. Along the way, many key questions are addressed: How far are non-elected agencies accountable to the public? How can local people influence the decisions which affect them? How can business and voluntary organizations be brought into a real partnership with the public sector at local level? Does this emerging new system of local governance involve a `third way` between local bureaucracy and the free market? Can it achieve the Prime Minister`s ideal of joined-up government` or will its sheer complexity result in chaos and confusion? Paying full attention to all aspects of… [detailed...]

Local Government Dollars &, Sense: 225 Financial Tips for Guarding the Public Checkbook

But many have little, if any, knowledge about local government financial matters when first elected. Written in an easy to understand style, this book provides beginning and seasoned elected officials and public administrators with the fiscal awareness to confidently make good budget and financial decisions. Local government is more complex today and there are more opportunities for poorjudgement, conflicts of interest, embezzlement and fraud.

Community members, homeowners groups, business people, unions, service organizations, public watchdogs and newspaper reporters who want to assess their local elected officials` performance will find this book invaluable. Each chapter begins with a real life story such as the city manager who used the city`s credit card to go on… [detailed...]

Local Government Innovation : Issues and Trends in Privatization and Managed Competition

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Nationally recognized scholars and practitioners examine opportunities in which services traditionally provided by local governments are offered by the private sector though a contract or are transferred to a private business completely. Many large U.S. cities have contracted services for many years. With the movement to rightsize governments in recent years there has been renewed interest by local governments in similar ventures. Privatization, in its many forms, is now seen as a viable alternative to traditional ways of providing public services and can bring substantial benefits to residents. With greater accountability being demanded and pressures on local officials to hold the line on or reduce taxes, efforts to find innovative service delivery methods will probably increase. Cities, such as Atlanta, Indianapolis, and Charlotte, are examples showing that contracts with private businesses can work to benefit all parties. Local officials must move ahead cautiously, and not all… [detailed...]

Local Governments and Their Intergovernmental Networks in Federalizing Spain

2010 y.
Publisher: McGill-Queen`s University Press
Description: Spain has been changing its institutional framework in important ways over the past thirty years. The country has gone from a dictatorship to a democracy, from a unitary state to a decentralized one, from authoritarian politics to a self-conscious, civil society with a developed welfare state within a European context. Federal development in post-Franco Spain reaches far beyond familiar Basque/Catalan nationalistic struggles and includes the creation of an increasing number of intergovernmental networks by local governments, particularly municipalities, as they engage regional, central, and other local entities to operate programs and services in basic and emergent policy areas. By examining the intergovernmental networks in an increasingly federalized Spain, Robert Agranoff shows that local governments, although they occupy a strong position in legal and constitutional terms, are in practice subordinate to both central and regional governments and therefore lack adequate power and… [detailed...]

Local Heroes: The Political Economy of Russian Regional Governance

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: In Local Heroes , Kathryn Stoner-Weiss analyzes a crucial aspect of one of the great dramas of modern times--the reconstitution of the Russian polity and economy after more than seventy years of communist rule. This is the first book to look comprehensively and systematically at Russia`s democratic transition at the local level. Its goal is to explain why some of the new political institutions in the Russian provinces weathered the monumental changes of the early 1990s better than others. Using newly available economic, political, and sociological data to test various theories of democratization and institutional performance, Stoner-Weiss finds that traditional theories are unable to explain variations in regional government performance in Russia. Local Heroes argues that the legacy of the former economic system influenced the operation of new political institutions in important and often unexpected ways. Past institutional structures, specifically the concentration of… [detailed...]
