Place to Space: Migrating to Ebusiness Models

Ч y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: As the second wave of the e-business revolution plays out, traditional firms--not ephemeral dot-coms--will do the hard work of making e-business both viable and profitable. But while established companies no longer question why they must migrate from traditional marketplace businesses to a combination of offline and online presence, most still struggle with how to do so. An indispensable e-business guidebook for established firms in all industries, Place to Space provides a simple but powerful strategic framework for analyzing, choosing, and implementing successful e-business enterprises. Based on several years of research and a detailed study of fifty online initiatives in a variety of traditional firms, authors Peter Weill and Michael R. Vitale describe eight atomic business models that they argue represent the core building blocks of all e-business ventures. Using powerful real-world case studies of international companies including LonelyЕ [detailed...]

Place: 35 Designers, 35 Cities

Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionIn order to answer the question: To what degree does the place in which an individual lives influence his/her creative work?, a travel book of 350 blank pages, a video camera, and a T-shirt traveled the world in search of creative diversity. For the 18-month duration of the PLACE project, two suitcases containing the elements listed above traveled east and west simultaneously, visiting a total of 35 artists. Each artist was asked to think about their context, to look, see, discover, and depict their vision and experience on the supports given to them--book, video, T-shirt. They were encouraged to work on the supports to unify criteria and formats, while leaving room for the interpretation of each. This logbook of the PLACE project reveals the results of this intriguing game with few rules and a lot of room for risk-taking, exploration, and improvisation. Essay by Vasava. Paperback, 6.5 x 8.5 in./608 pgs / Illustrated throughout. [detailed...]

Placebo: Mind Over Matter in Modern Medicine

2004 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionCan we really cure ourselves of disease by the power of thought alone? Faith healers and alternative therapists are convinced that we can, but what does science say? Contrary to public perception, orthodox medical opinion is remarkably confident about the healing powers of the mind. For the past fifty years, doctors have been taught that placebos such as sugar pills and water injections can relieve virtually any kind of medical condition. Yet placebos only work if you believe they work, so the medical confidence in the power of the placebo effect has provided scientific legitimacy to popular claims about the healing power of the mind. In this intriguing exploration, Dylan Evans exposes the flaws in the scientific research into the placebo effect and reveals the limits of what can and cannot be cured by thought alone. Drawing on new ideas in immunology and evolutionary biology, Evans proposes a new theory about how placebos work, and asks some searching questionsЕ [detailed...]

Places of Pain and Shame: Dealing with `Difficult` Heritage (Key Issues in Cultural Heritage)

2009 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: `Places of Pain and Shame` is a cross-cultural study of sites that represent painful and/or shameful episodes in a national or local community`s history, and the ways that government agencies, heritage professionals and the communities themselves seek to remember, commemorate and conserve these cases - or, conversely, choose to forget them. Such episodes and locations include: massacre and genocide sites, places related to prisoners of war, civil and political prisons, and places of `benevolent` internment such as leper colonies and lunatic asylums. These sites bring shame upon us now for the cruelty and futility of the events that occurred within them and the ideologies they represented.They are however increasingly being regarded as `heritage sites`, a far cry from the view of heritage that prevailed a generation ago when we were almost entirely concerned with protecting the great and beautiful creations of the past, reflections of the creative genius of humanity rather than theЕ [detailed...]

Places of Redemption: Theology for a Worldly Church

2007 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: The primary aim of this book is to explore the contradiction between widely shared beliefs in the USA about racial inclusiveness and equal opportunity for all and the fact that most churches are racially homogeneous and do not include people with disabilities. To address the problem Mary McClintock Fulkerson explores the practices of an interracial church (United Methodist) that includes people with disabilities. The analysis focuses on those activities which create opportunities for people to experience those who are `different` as equal in ways that diminish both obliviousness to the other and fear of the other. In contrast with theology`s typical focus on the beliefs of Christians, this project offers a theory of practices and place that foregrounds the instinctual reactions and communications that shape all groups. The effect is to broaden the academic field of theology through the benefits of ethnographic research and postmodern place theory. [detailed...]

Placing Words : Symbols, Space, and the City

2005 y.
Publisher: Ч
Description: Book DescriptionThe meaning of a message, says William Mitchell, depends on the context of its reception. `Shouting `fire` in a crowded theater produces a dramatically different effect from barking the same word to a squad of soldiers with guns,` he observes. In Placing Words , Mitchell looks at the ways in which urban spaces and places provide settings for communication and at how they conduct complex flows of information through the twenty-first century city. Cities participate in the production of meaning by providing places populated with objects for words to refer to. Inscriptions on these objects (labels, billboards, newspapers, graffiti) provide another layer of meaning. And today, the flow of digital information -- from one device to another in the urban scene -- creates a digital network that also exists in physical space. Placing Words examines this emerging system of spaces, flows, and practices in a series of short essays -- snapshots of the cityЕ [detailed...]

Description: In recent years there has been a great deal of discussion about the social economy and the term `The Third Way` has attained a level of household recognition, especially in America and Britain. Academics and commentators have debated the usefulness of the social economy as a restraint on capitalist excesses with some arguing that the `third way` is but a poor substitute for a welfare state. This book provides a refreshing and accessible account of real life experience in a social economy. By focusing onnew evidence, this book critically analyzes such themes as: *the range of academic and policy expectation that have emerged in recent years in the developed world *the policies of New Labour in Britain *the dynamics of social enterprises in Bristol, London.

Description: Everyday we write countless memos, letters, and reports without a second thought. Likewise, we give presentations, both formal and informal. Often this writing and speaking gets criticized for being jargon-ridden, obscure, or long-winded--in short, for not being in `plain English.` But what is plain English, and how do we go about writing and speaking it? In Plain English at Work, Edward Bailey gives the answer, with down-to-earth tips and practical advice. Bailey, an expert in business communication, gives us a simple model for writing: * Style: write more the way you talk. * Organization: make your point easy to find. * Layout: use headings, lists, and other white space so readers can see the structure of your writing. Psycholinguists, Bailey points out, have proven that the techniques of plain English writing are far easier on your readers, experience has proven that writing in plain English is easier on you--the writer, too.

His houses, commercial buildings, and public projects combine regional forms with local materials, technologies, and building practices to create works that are linked to their environments right down to their DNA.
