Ever since explorers began venturing north into the harsh lands of the arctic, they have encountered arctic foxes in the unlikeliest of places. The arctic fox is an extraordinary creare.

Fred Bruemmer
Arctic Visions: Pictures from a Vanished World

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In the 1960s, celebrated photographer Fred Bruemmer moved to the Arctic to capture its majestic beauty and rare culture, showcasing intimate moments he spent with the native peoples living, hunting, and surviving in an environment of almost unimaginable harshness. His images focused on the people, animals, and landscape, highlighting daily activities like fishing and igloo building that meant death or survival. These gorgeous images, which have helped define this remote region as we think of it today, document a world before dog sleds were replaced by snowmobiles, harpoons by rifles, and igloos by houses. With Arctic shrinkage, a consequence of melting glaciers and other ice structures, a potentially apocalyptic rise in sea levels may occur worldwide. Arctic Visions invites readers to experience a past that has become almost mythological, and one that soon may be hard to believe ever existed. [detailed...]

Arda Reconstructed: The Creation of the Published Silmarillion

2009 y.
Publisher: —
Description: In `Arda Reconstructed: The Creation of the Published Silmarillion`, Douglas C. Kane reveals a tapestry woven by Christopher Tolkien from different portions of his father`s work that is often quite mind-boggling, with inserts that seemed initially to have been editorial inventions shown to have come from some remote portion of Tolkien`s vast body of work. He demonstrates how material that was written over the course of more than thirty years was merged together to create a single, coherent text. He also makes a frank appraisal of the material omitted by Christopher Tolkien (and in a couple of egregious cases the material invented by him) and how these omissions and insertions may have distorted his father`s vision of what he considered - even more then `The Lord of the Rings` - to be his most important work. It is a fascinating portrait of a unique collaboration that reached beyond the grave. [detailed...]

Publisher: Osprey Publishing
Description: From the earliest planning stages of the German counter-offensive in the Ardennes, Hitler was convinced of the importance of taking the Meuse bridges. He resolved that, when his forces broke through the US lines, one special unit should be dressed in American uniforms and issued with American weapons and vehicles. In this guise they could take advantage of the surprise and shock of the breakthrough, and move forward to the Meuse bridges as if they were retreating Americans. Jean-Paul Pallud details their organisation and the fateful sequence of events that followed. [detailed...]

Are Not My People Worthy? The Story of Matthew 25: Ministries

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionA child?s eyes haunt Wendell Mettey, founder of Matthew 25: Ministries. Mettey spoke with the child?s father as he waited hours for treatment for his critically-burned infant. `Take our picture so all can see the conditions in our country,` the Nicaraguan father said. Mettey has never forgotten the child, father, or the needs he saw. Mettey has dedicated the years since to improving life in Nicaragua and other war-torn or impoverished areas around the world. Are Not My People Worthy? tells how a minister from Cincinnati found himself called to alleviate pain and suffering in the U.S. and in nations thousands of miles away. It details how Mettey?s organization, Matthew 25: Ministries, answers the New Testament call of Matthew 25:34-40 by bringing food and water to the hungry and thirsty, clothing and housing to the naked and strangers, and care to those sick and in prison. Are Not My People Worthy? also reveals how the voice of God encouraged… [detailed...]

Are Predatory Commitments Credible?: Who Should the Courts Believe?

— y.
Publisher: —
Description: Predatory pricing has long been a contentious issue among lawmakers and economists. Legal actions are continually brought against companies. But the question remains: how likely are firms to cut prices in order to drive rivals out of business? Predatory firms risk having to keep prices below cost for such an extended period that it would become cost-prohibitive. Recently, economists have turned to game theory to examine circumstances under which predatory tactics could be profitable. John R. Lott, Jr. provides long-awaited empirical analysis in this book. By examining firms accused of or convicted of predation over a thirty-year period of time, he shows that these firms are not organized as the game-theoretic or other models of predation would predict. In contrast, what evidence exists for predation suggests that government enterprises are more of a threat. Lott presents crucial new data and analysis, attacking an issue of major legal and economic importance. This… [detailed...]

Publisher: —
Description: While the acquisition of skills has become a major public need, there is increasing dependence for their provision on individual firms. These firms can have no responsibility for general needs with government action being restricted to residual care for the unemployed rather than contributing at the leading edge of advanced skills policy. The authors argue that public agencies must find new ways of working with the business sector, acquiring expertise and authority through such means as supporting skillsstandards and taking the lead in the certification of employers as trainers.

Are There Any Good Jobs Left?: Career Management in the Age of the Disposable Worker

2006 y.
Publisher: —
Description: This book is for and about the millions of people who are between jobs (code for `out of work`), have been between jobs, or know of someone who has been. It is about how to navigate the transition from employment-for-life, career development support, and a company-sponsored pension to downsized, outsourced, and replaced. Bill Holland explains the macro-trends that have converged to create an environment of job instability and anxiety, and then moves beyond this context to present specific tactics and techniques that readers can use to stay one step ahead in their careers. More than a manual for job searches and career-building strategies, Are There Any Good Jobs Left? helps readers interpret trends, assess such temptations as leaving the corporate rat race for the entrepreneurial life and considers the ethics of constant networking. Featuring an annotated listing of books and Web sites, the book is not so much an indictment of corporate disloyalty as an explanation of the phenomenon,… [detailed...]
